Wikilyrics
Only claim to notability is incessantly spamming empty wikilyrics pages to the external links sections of articles. --W(t) 22:56, 2005 May 27 (UTC)

 * Delete, advertising, wikipedia is not a collection of external links. Megan1967 02:36, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, I run wikilyrics, made this article, and added several external links on wikipedia articles of artists. Let's discuss this here - I'm interested in knowing what is wrong with the situation. Maybe I do not fully understand wikipedia's rules. In my understanding, I see nothing wrong with linking artists to their pages on wikilyrics. Each artist category in wikilyrics actually links back to the respective page on wikipedia and I had thought the interwiki linking would make content/metadata easy for users to access. I only see this as helping both wikipedia and wikilyrics. Now - I see what you are saying about linking to categories which don't have much actual content on wikilyrics. In such cases, wikipedia is getting nothing out of the links while wikilyrics is getting wikipedia's visitors. Is there wikipedia policy about this somewhere? Could we say that wikipedia should only link to wikilyrics categories with at least, say...20 song lyrics pages? Give me some more information to work with. The goal was not to anger fellow wikipedians and spam the database. The goal was to create a wiki which provided free-content song lyrics with no ads and I thought mutual linkage between the sites would benefit everyone. Maybe I am wrong. If you wish, feel free to discuss this in my user talk as well. --Anthony5429 04:19, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * If you run wikilyrics, the article could be seen as "self-promotion", see What Wikipedia is not. Megan1967 04:37, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, there are certain guidelines for linking, see External links. I've posted that link to several anon users who were adding wikilyrics links and warned them but have always been ignored. Still, on the bright side, since you seem cooperative enough that probably means those anons were other people, which means wikilyrics must be taking off at least slightly. --W(t) 04:40, 2005 May 28 (UTC)
 * Strongly Keep Wikilyrics is one of the most innovative and creative aspects I've seen here. It allows articles to be linked to lyrics, yet to keep up the theme of a Wikipedian style entry. The links are very useful and I am planning on linking lyrics in several articles. This is a great resource, and should not be deleted at all OmegaWikipedia 15:40, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Your links to this spammer will be deleted. His site is also a major copyright violation and will probably get shut down at some point, just as lyrics.ch was.  RickK 22:12, May 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * Strongly Keep Is it not conceivable that someone interested in an artist enough to search for a wikipedia article would also want to see lyrics by this artist? Wikilyrics shares many of the same ideals and ethics as Wikipedia, this relationship can be mutually beneficial. Kafuffle 17:50, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Is it not conceivable that we object to this person spamming Wikipedia with links to his site? RickK 22:12, May 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * I have already voted but would also like to add a little more. Megan1967: I see what you are saying but want to mention that although I do run the site and have the actual webspace, wikilyrics is a public online community. Anyone is welcome to sign up and/or edit the database and if you take the time to look around, you will see that there are several users (44 right now) contributing to the site and it is not an outlet for self-promotion. In fact, please take a second to look at my Wikipedia User Page and Wikilyrics User Page; you will note that neither has significant information about who I am. I can therefore not be accused of self-promotion. The site was made to be a public, free-content, online wiki community where people could find lyrics to songs without the annoying ads and spyware conventional lyrics sites are accustomed to. I see interwiki linking between wikilyrics and wikipedia as only beneficial to both sites and the users of each. --Anthony5429 18:09, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - blatant admitted self-promotion. It's also best that we don't have even the appearance of association with them if the music industry decides they're going to go on another round of shutting lyrics sites down for copyright infringement. -- Cyrius|✎ 20:11, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, and on the Wikilyrics Main Page, he's exhorting his users to show up and vote to keep this article. That's not going to win you points here. -- Cyrius|✎ 20:12, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, delete, delete. It's self promotion. It's advertising.  This guy has been running through all the articles on musicians spamming them with links to this website.  I even bothered to check out a couple -- one had lyrics for one song by the artist, the other didn't have any!  Furthermore, putting that link on the Wikilyrics website to vote against the deletion?  Geez.  Alexa rank down in the 800,000's, and even the article mentions the site was started  not even two months ago.  Just because websites are open content, freely editable, etc. doesn't mean that Wikipedia should treat them any different.  Spam is spam.  CryptoDerk 20:15, May 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * There are plenty of reasons to zap this article, CryptoDerk. See my further comments and delete vote below. However, a low number of visitors who are sufficiently conformist, docile, uneducated, etc. to be using Windows plus the mediocre browser MSIE (both needed for "Alexa", the last time I looked) plus the "Alexa" spyware itself isn't a good reason to zap any article. -- Hoary 04:52, 2005 May 29 (UTC)
 * Delete. "started on April 6, 2005.", wiki has not established its notability, influence or longevity.  Advertising.  RickK 22:06, May 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * RickK, how long should a site be up before it is considered notable or expressing longevity? If it needs to be a certain age, I can repost this article in a set amount of time. I am not familiar with the policy - please fill me in. CryptoDerk, there are several stub articles on wikilyrics. There are, however, far more completed articles. You can look around if you wish. Cyrius, what is wrong with asking the users to vote against deletion of this article? I don't see anything wrong with that and it is not self promotion because the site does not promote me. Also, many wikipedia articles already link to lyrics sites so the copyright issue should not be brought up unless the site is included as a wikimedia project - which it is not. Wikipedia's disclaimer specifically says that it claims no affiliation with its content. That includes external links. Am I wrong? Also, please fill me in on the lyrics.ch incident - I am not familiar with it. Wikilyrics has a disclaimer on every page which credits the lyrics to their writer. Is that enough? One other thing - I stopped encouraging the users to add links to Wikipedia since some people see this as spamming. Please let me know what it takes to make wikilyrics notable and worthy of being linked to in wikipedia. I looked through What Wikipedia is not but saw nothing definitive on the subject. It would be extremely helpful if someone would come out and say, "you need x number of active users, x number of articles, and the site must be x months old." I'm trying to be helpful here - please give me some useful feedback. --Anthony5429 22:51, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * There are 3 arguments for deletion of this article: copyright infringement, self-promotion, and lack of notoriety. With regards to copyright infringement, please see the Wikilyrics disclaimer. I have already posted my counter argument regarding self-promotion and why wikilyrics is not guilty of it. Above is my statement about lack of notoriety and concerning that, I honestly don't know enough information to make a strong point about it. --Anthony5429 02:24, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Your "General disclaimer", to which you link above, is stunningly wrong-headed. You say you're not a lawyer. Neither am I. But I am capable of reading simple explanations of copyright law written for laymen. Aren't you capable too -- or do you just choose to not to read this stuff and instead to rely on wishful thinking? Nobody has said that your site needs more "notoriety" to get an article here. They have said that it needs to be notable. Of course, notability includes true notoriety -- murder one person and you're probably still a nobody, murder half a dozen and WP will write you up -- and large-scale copyright violation may eventually win your site notoriety. (My own guess is that it will wither away or be closed down first.) -- Hoary 04:46, 2005 May 29 (UTC)
 * Delete: WP is not a site directory. -- Hoary 04:46, 2005 May 29 (UTC)

 * Keep: Wikilyrics is one of the most innovative and creative aspects I've seen here. It allows articles to be linked to lyrics, yet to keep up the theme of a Wikipedian style entry. The links are very useful and I am planning on linking lyrics in several articles. This is a great resource, and should not be deleted at all --Florian huber 06:57, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
 * User's 4th edit. RickK 22:17, May 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Advert, non-notable, WP is not a web directory.  Quale 08:12, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep: Wikilyrics is an open alternative resource to other commercial, advert-, error- and popup-full web sites, which make it a hard time for somebody looking for lyrics to find them; unlike them, wikilyrics allow any person interested in lyrics to find them quickly. If it is expanded and gets more popular, as we are expecting - it is not up for a long time yet -, it will allow us to create a directory of song lyrics, which can be very handy for open source multimedia software (imagine automated lyrics downloading using the built-in MediaWiki XML export, with, for instance, a plugin on XMMS). If we decide to delete the external links on song- and artist-related articles, at least I suggest that we kept the article about the website. --dionyziz 09:34, May 29, 2005 (UTC).
 * Here's a proposition. Feel free to voice your opinions about it. Since I'm not getting definitive information about what it takes for WP to consider a site notable, how about we delete this article and I'll put it back up if and only if there are ever more than 5000 songs in the database and 100 users. If the site never reaches those goals or it is shut down because people believe it infringes on copyrights, I will not add the article back. If the goals are reached, I will add the article and instead of links which say (artist) Lyrics @ Wikilyrics, I will only add links which say (artist) Lyrics and furthermore, will instruct the wikilyrics users not to add the links if there is not substantial lyrics for the artist. Moreover, I will tell the users not to add the link if there is already a lyrics link on the article. I've seen that in several pages already where there are already external links to lyrics sites. Anyone is free to agree or disagree with this proposition. It's just a suggestion. Please tell me what you think. Again, I'm trying to be helpful. I'm not trying to spam WP. Interwiki linking should be beneficial to both sites. --Anthony5429 17:15, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
 * My advice to you is not to waste any more of your time with Wikipedia. You've had a taste of how they operate. Mirror Vax 17:56, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
 * "They"? Are you not a Wikipedia editor?  But, Anthony, let me ask you a question.  What would you do if I came over to your Wikilyrics site and began creating articles about subjects which had nothing to do with lyrics?  Would you delete them, or would you welcome me with open arms and tell me that I'm doing a great job and to do more?  If we have to follow the rules set on your site, why don't you have to follow the rules we've set on our site?  RickK 22:17, May 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * We can't really make deals, otherwise everybody and their brother would be trying for one. However, if the article is deleted and you come back some time in the future when your site is more than just an interesting idea, I think you'll get a better reception. Unfortunately, as I write this, you have taken Wikilyrics completely offline due to the copyright issue, which isn't going to help with having a Wikipedia article. -- Cyrius|✎ 22:22, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Note: Anthony has shut down the Wikilyrics site.  He has written on the Main page:
 * ''Dear Fellow Wikilyrics User,

 * ''Several individuals have pointed out that Wikilyrics may not be fully legal. Therefore, I have temporarily shut it down. I will reopen it once someone can find definitive proof that using the following disclaimer on every song page prevents copyright infringement. If you have any information on the subject, please tell me in my Wikipedia User Talk Page. My apologies for the inconvenience.

 * ''Current Disclaimer: "The copyright of these lyrics belongs to their writer(s) and/or performer(s) and Wikilyrics does not claim ownership of these lyrics or their copyright."

 * ''-Tony
 * -RickK 22:19, May 29, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete - I will repost if the copyright issue is cleared up and the site becomes more popular. Wikilyricians, thanks for the suppport. Wikipedians, sorry for all the comotion. --Anthony5429 02:49, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, a link to a site with copyvio... just doesnt look good. JamesBurns 10:52, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * After doing some looking around, I found out what I needed to know about the copyright issue. With some modifications to the disclaimer, that is now all cleared up and Wikilyrics is doing nothing illegal. Just thought I'd mention that. Again, you are welcome to delete this article. I will repost it a while from now when Wikilyrics has grown more and see if Wikipedia finds it notable then. Thanks for your help and sorry again for all the comotion. --Anthony5429 02:39, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Self-promotion, article does not establish notability for this project. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 22:04, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - advertisement. - SimonP 22:23, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

Stuff (company)

Stuff Ltd (previously Fairfax New Zealand) is a privately held news media company operating in New Zealand. It operates Stuff, the country's largest news website, and owns nine daily newspapers, including New Zealand's second and third-highest circulation daily newspapers, The Post and The Press, and the highest circulation weekly, Sunday Star-Times. Magazines published include TV Guide, New Zealand's top-selling weekly magazine. Stuff also owns social media network Neighbourly.

Stuff Ltd has been owned by Sinead Boucher since 31 May 2020. It was called Fairfax New Zealand Limited until 1 February 2018.

Fairfax Media, 2003–2018
The print publications and the Stuff website previously belonged to Independent Newspapers Limited, until they were sold to Australian company Fairfax Media in 2003.

When a 7.8 earthquake struck Kaikōura 14 November 2016, cutting the town off via road access, Stuff (then Fairfax New Zealand) flew free copies of its newspapers to residents.

In 2016, Fairfax New Zealand and media company New Zealand Media and Entertainment (NZME) sought clearance from the Commerce Commission to merge their operations in New Zealand. As part of the merger proposal, Stuff's Australian owner Fairfax Media would have received a 41 per cent stake in the combined business plus $55 million cash. On 2 May 2017, the Commerce Commission declined to approve the merger. Stuff Ltd. and NZME appealed the Commission's decision to the Wellington High Court, which upheld the Commission's decision on 18 December 2017. In June 2018, the companies appealed the Commission's decision at the New Zealand Court of Appeal, which rejected their merger bid on 25 September 2018. In October 2018, Stuff and NZME abandoned their first merger attempt.

On 1 February 2018, Fairfax New Zealand Limited changed its name to Stuff Limited.

Nine Entertainment, 2018–2020
In December 2018 Stuff's parent company Fairfax Media merged with Australia's Nine Entertainment, which acquired Stuff and its stable of New Zealand newspapers. In July 2019, Nine Entertainment attempted to sell Stuff but did not receive any adequate bids.

In November 2019, NZME confirmed that it had entered into negotiations with Nine Entertainment to purchase Stuff and submitted a proposal to the New Zealand Government regarding a "possible transaction." NZME proposed a "Kiwishare" arrangement that would ringfence Stuff's editorial operations and protect local journalism.

On 11 May 2020, NZME offered to purchase Stuff for a symbolic $1 on the basis of saving jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, Stuff's parent company Nine Entertainment terminated further discussion with NZME. In response, NZME filed for an emergency injunction at the Auckland High Court to force Nine Entertainment back into negotiations. On 19 May, the Auckland High Court rejected NZME's bid for an interim injunction against Nine Entertainment.

Sinead Boucher, 2020–present
On 25 May, Nine Entertainment agreed to sell Stuff to Stuff's chief executive Sinead Boucher for NZ$1, with the transaction due to be completed by 31 May. This marks the return of the company into New Zealand ownership. Nine will retain all of the proceeds of the sale of wholesale broadband business Stuff Fibre to telecommunications company Vocus Group, and ownership of Stuff's Wellington printing press.

2022 news team restructuring
On 18 October 2022, Stuff released details of a proposed restructure for its regional and local publications. Under the proposal, the number of newsroom staff at the Manawatū Standard, Nelson Mail, and Timaru Herald would be reduced from seven reporters to three. Other regional newspapers Taranaki Daily News and The Southland Times would retain four reporters each. In addition, news director roles at regional papers would be disestablished, with the remaining editors expected to write news. Stuff has proposed counterbalancing these job cuts by establishing a new regional team composed of a group regional editor, four news directors and nine breaking news reporters. According to Radio New Zealand, several unidentified Stuff employees expressed sadness and unease about the restructuring and increased work load.

In response to the proposed restructuring, several journalists affiliated with the E tū union organised strikes in December 2022. Despite opposition from employees, Stuff proceeded with the planned restructuring in early December 2022. Stuff's Chief Content Officer Joanna Norris defended the restructuring, stating that the company had created an internal news service operating across regional New Zealand that would be able to cover stories at any time and place. By contrast, Mayor of Nelson Nick Smith expressed concern about the impact of job cuts on the quality of local newspaper Nelson Mail news coverage.

Flagship brands' web launch
On 27 April 2023, Stuff confirmed that it would launch separate subscription-based websites for three of its newspapers: The Dominion Post, The Press, and Waikato Times. These websites will co-exist with the free Stuff news website. In addition, Stuff confirmed that The Dominion Post would be revamped as The Post from 29 April.

2023 leadership changes
On 1 June 2023, Laura Maxwell was appointed as the new Chief Executive of the Stuff Group while its owner Boucher became the Executive Chair and Publisher of the company. In addition, Stuff appointed three new managing directors to lead the major divisions of the company. Chief Audio Officer Nadia Tolich was appointed managing director of Stuff Digital, which included stuff.co.nz, Neighbourly, and Stuff's audio division. Chief content officer Joanna Norris was appointed as managing director of Stuff Masthead Publishing, which has oversight over Stuff's metropolitan, regional and community newspapers, magazines, websites, and commercial printing operations. Executive Commercial Director Matt Headland was appointed as managing director of Stuff Brand Connections, which also incorporated the company's former Stuff Events business division. As part of the restructuring process, Stuff announced a proposed restructuring of editorial and management jobs in mid June 2023. According to Radio New Zealand, several senior journalists were asked to reapply for several new roles including a single position as editor of the Sunday Star Times and The Post newspapers.

2024 television news bulletin
On 16 April 2024, Stuff announced an agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery New Zealand to replace the outgoing Newshub news service with an evening news bulletin provided by Stuff from 6 July 2024. The news bulletin will run from 6pm to 7pm on weekdays and a 30 minute news bulletin on Saturday and Sunday. As part of the agreement, Warner Bros. Discovery will pay Stuff an annual fee, estimated to be likely in the millions. Stuff publisher Boucher also confirmed that Stuff would hire several former Newshub staff (less than 40–50) to produce the 6pm bulletins.

On 7 May 2024, Stuff confirmed that it would hire seven former Newshub journalists—Samantha Hayes, Jenna Lynch, Laura Tupou, Ollie Ritchie, Juliet Speedy, Zane Small and Heather Keats—to produce its 6pm news bulletin and other news products. In late May 2024, Stuff revealed that the new 6pm news bulletin would be called ThreeNews.

Acquisitions
On 15 May 2024, the Stuff Group acquired the Wairarapa Times-Age newspaper, its website and associated publications from National Media Limited.

Management
Allen Williams was chief executive officer of Fairfax New Zealand Limited from April 2009 until April 2013, when he was promoted to managing director of Australian Publishing Media. Andrew Boyle was acting managing director until Simon Tong started as managing director in September 2013. Tong left in March 2017, just days prior to the Commerce Commission announcing their final decision on the proposed Fairfax New Zealand merger with New Zealand Media and Entertainment (NZME). Tong was succeeded by Boyle as acting managing director until Sinead Boucher was appointed chief executive officer in August 2017. Boucher had first been employed by Fairfax as a branch office reporter for The Press in 1993.

Nils Gustaf Nordenskiöld

Nils Gustaf Nordenskiöld (October 12, 1792 – February 2, 1866) was a Finnish mineralogist and traveller. He was the father of Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld, a mineralogist and polar explorer

Life
Nordenskiöld was born on October 12, 1792, in Mäntsälä in southern Finland, which was then part of the Kingdom of Sweden. After studying mineralogy in Helsingfors, now better known as Helsinki, and in Sweden, Nordenskiöld was appointed an inspector of mines in Finland. Finland had by now been transferred to Russia, as an autonomous Grand Duchy.

On October 3, 1819, Nordenskiöld was elected a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The Academy had been established pursuant to the order of the Peter I of Russia by the Decree of the Ruling Senate dated January 28 (February 8), 1724. In 1853, he was also elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

Nordenskiöld described and discovered a number of minerals previously unknown in Finland and Russia. In 1820, Nordenskiöld published a treatise, which was renowned as the first scientific handbook on Finnish minerals. He also published a number of articles in foreign journals, which brought him to notice far beyond Scandinavia. In future years, he was to ensure that his son, Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld, shared this knowledge and became renowned as an explorer in his own right.

Nordenskiöld returned to Finland in 1823 and in 1828 was appointed superintendent of the newly established Mining Board in Helsingfors, a post he held until his death in 1865.

Gemstone discoveries
According to a widely popular but controversial story, alexandrite was discovered by Nordenskiöld, on the tsarevitch Alexander's sixteenth birthday on April 17, 1834 and named Alexandrite in honor of the future Tsar — Alexander II of Russia. Although it was Nordenskiöld who discovered alexandrite, he could not possibly have discovered and named it on Alexander's birthday. Nordenskiöld's initial discovery occurred as a result an examination of a newly found mineral sample he had received from Count Lev Alekseevich Perovskii (1792–1856), which he identified it as emerald at first. Confused with the high hardness, he decided to continue his examinations. Later that evening, while looking at the specimen under candlelight, he was surprised to see that the color of the stone had changed to raspberry-red instead of green. Later, he confirmed the discovery of a new variety of chrysoberyl, and suggested the name "diaphanite"(from the Greek "di" two and "aphanes", unseen or "phan", to appear, or show). Perovskii however had his own plans and used the rare specimen to ingratiate himself with the Imperial family by presenting it to the future Tsar and naming it Alexandrite in his honor on April 17, 1834, but it wasn't until 1842 that the description of the color changing chrysoberyl was published for the first time under the name of alexandrite.

Other minerals
Other minerals described by Nordenskiöld include :
 * anorthite, under the name of amphodelite
 * ainalite in 1855, a variety of cassiterite
 * samarskite-(Y), under the name of adelpholite in 1855
 * crookesite in 1866
 * kämmererite in 1841, a variety of clinochlore
 * lazur-apatite in 1857, a variety of apatite
 * anorthite, under the name of lepolite

In 1849, Nordenskjold examined what was known as "Ural's chrysolite" and discovered that it was a rich green variety of andradite garnet. In 1854, he proposed for it the name demantoid ("like a diamond").

Talk:Papal apartments

Untitled
I have never ever seen the Papal Apartments written in the singular, always in the plural. Fear ÉIREANN (talk) 23:03, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

Moved from main article - unsourced. --Neutralitytalk 06:13, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

--''The rooms were originally highly decorated with rich ornate furnishings. However, following the Second Vatican Council, Pope Paul VI (who as a young bishop had once suggested that popes should live in more modest rooms in the Lateran Palace, away from the Roman Curia, the papal court) had the private rooms in the Vatican Apartments stripped of all ornate decor, preferring what he viewed as a form of monastic simplicity. He also redesigned the private chapel. However, the latter redesign was criticized in some quarters, as excessively representative of architectural styles fashionable in the 1970s but which are no longer popular or liked.''

Photos
Could someone find a number of photos for this article? I think it needs a gallery section of some sort, with a couple placed in the article. Pictures of the pope blessing crowds from the loggia, the kitchen, private living area, the pope's library... I understand some areas are restricted and private, but surely some parts of the Apartments have been photographed. --Pstanton (talk) 00:50, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Article incorrect on it supposedly ceasing to function as a papal palace
I have removed the false claim that it would cease to function as a papal palace and function as a museum. NO evidence found to back that up, and ALL evidence contradicts it. They simply say that the papal apartment would be open to the public as Pope Francis is not using it as a residence. Even the link provided in the paragraph didn't say what the paragraph said and in fact contradicted it. It is still a papal residence with a papal apartment. It is simply that the current pope doesn't use it and has decided to open it up to the public. It is still the official summer residence of the pope, and the next pope could use it if they wish, or Francis could change his mind. FearÉIREANN \(caint) 02:06, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Kópavogur College

Comments
As I understand, a junior college is a private school (not administered by local or national government). MK is administered by the Minister of education so it's not a Junior Collage.

Gymnasium describes what kind of school MK is (and most other schools in Iceland for students after the compulsory education). Most students finish with a Student degree. gumol
 * Well you're wrong. It is not about whether it's publicly or privately owned or managed but whether it offers an undergraduate academic degree or not (which it doesn't). Icelandic gymnasia don't use the term gymnasium in their official English names, probably because English-speaking people wouldn't realise that they're not sporting institutions or like high schools in the U.S. but more like colleges. However not all schools at the same level use the term college in their English names. Stefán Örvarr Sigmundsson (talk) 21:29, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

where is KABC located...
so, there's been some back and forth the last couple of days - is KABC located in glendale, or los angeles? clearly, the headquarters appear to have moved to glendale. however, the city of record with the FCC - in ABC's statement of ownership filed as recently as october 1, 2007 - is listed as los angeles. i'll let the policy wonks fight it out from here. Anastrophe 01:14, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

 * The station studio is in Glendale, their antenna tower is on Mount Wilson near Pasadena and its signal is said to cover a 90 mile-radius range. The city of license is (and does represent) Los Angeles, but KABC is a regional not limited to local station. KABC on cable channel 10 in the High Desert (i.e. Yucca Valley) and low-power transmitter K67AO channel 12 in Palmdale. It replaced an earlier ABC affiliate station KVVT? based in Lancaster and Victorville in the early 1990s. KABC was on over-air channel 22 in the Palm Springs area until the digital conversion occurred last February. KABC digital transmitters is not on cable in Hemet nor Palm Desert, due to FCC regulations preferred local ABC affiliate KESQ-TV channel 3 and the purpose is for cable subscribers to test out the digital converter boxes. KABC could well have a focus not limited to Los Angeles, but the whole "Southland" to encompass nearby areas like Orange County and the Inland Empire region. + 71.102.3.86 (talk) 03:29, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Text removal
KABC-TV is one of the few ABC stations to air World News at 6:30 p.m. When the network soap opera Port Charles'' ended its run in 2004, channel 7 expanded its midday newscast to a full hour. KABC-TV currently brands its newscasts as ABC 7 Eyewitness News HD and it airs over 40 hours of live news programming each week, more than any other individual television station in Los Angeles. KABC was the first station in the Los Angeles market to broadcast news in high definition, first with a high definition helicopter and then with a full high definition set (although field reports are generally shot in standard definition widescreen).''

''The 11:00 p.m. newscast is currently the most watched newscast in Southern California at any hour. KABC newscasts, as well as rebroadcasts of World News, KGO's Eye on the Bay, and other news and educational programming, also repeat on ABC7+ (digital channel 7.2). When breaking news occurs, depending on the magnitude of the situation, regular programming may be shifted to digital channel 7.2, or breaking news coverage may air on channel 7.2.''

This was in a previous version of the article a few months ago in a different form but removed for some reason. I added it back. Please discuss before removing it again. We describe Digital 4.4 on the KNBC article because it is similarly notable. Thank you. Calwatch (talk) 03:16, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Your "changes" were reverted back because they were unnecessary. Reasons are:
 * All that stuff about high-definition news and the "most-watched newscast in Southern California" teeters on advertising and promotion, which isn't allowed.
 * In these articles, we use the call letters or "channel XX" as often as possible within the text.
 * Also, who cares if the meteorologists are AMS-certified? That's trivial. Some editors feel that it is, but it really isn't.
 * Removing unused fields in the infobox saves space in the article's size.
 * That's all. Rollosmokes (talk) 09:00, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Please do not call them "nonsensical" as you did in the comments; that is insulting. I don't mention meteorology. But, KABC was the first station in the market in high definition, and is the top rated newscast in the region. I use KABC on there, as well as channel 7.2. Therefore, I'm still going to object, although as a courtesy I'm not going to put them back yet. However, if another editor disagrees, please put it back in or discuss. You don't own the article.

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material
Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to a list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:

 * 1) WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
 * 2) As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
 * 3) WP:NLIST tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
 * 4) Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 20:05, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Listing of random employees
Per WP:LISTPEOPLE, a list of names should not be included in the article unless there are third-party sources to warrant doing so. Just because someone works somewhere does not mean it is relevant to the article; that is what the sources show, relevance. Anything else is irrelevant to the article. - Aoidh (talk) 06:04, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

In addition to the Disney-owned TV station, which includes award-winning programming on its schedule such as Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, hosted by Bob Goeb. it also has two sister radio stations. One is a standalone children's pop music 24/7 station through KDIS, while the other is a standalone sports network through KSPN. The former is locally-based as the local RD station is considered the flagship of the network while the latter is the Los Angeles and West Coast O&O flagship of the ESPN Radio network.

Copy edit tag
I see there is some disagreement about whether this article needs a copy edit tag. I made a few changes, and I'm sure another editor could find a thing or two to change as well, but overall it looks to be in good shape. I don't believe that the presence of a few minor errors in an article merits the addition of a tag; if that were the case, essentially every article on Wikipedia would earn the tag, and it would not be very useful. Accordingly, I am removing the tag. Regards, Tdslk (talk) 22:29, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

It could accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) in 6.5 seconds and has a claimed top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). It was marketed as an affordable sports car and first retailed for 250000 SEK (without options). The body is of composite panels attached to a space frame. The front suspension is of the maker's own design but the rear unit is from Volvo using a composite transverse spring. The gas tank came from the Saab 900, the base of the seats are from the Volvo S40, the steering column is from the Volvo 850 and the rear suspension is from the Volvo 960.

Tse Tse Fly
Actually an article about a song by Wall of Voodoo, from their first album; the fly itself - which is cool, and by cool I mean totally sweet - is at Tsetse fly. Song is from group's first album, and is utterly un-notable; it was not a single, is not rare, was not a cultural meme, merely one song of several; it's certainly less notable than group's only hit, Mexican Radio, which is itself dubious. Entire text: ''Tse Tse Fly is a song by the band Wall of Voodoo. This song is one of Wall of Voodoo's goofiest songs.

After some discussion on Category talk:Computer terminology it seems like the best approach to sorting this out is to just move everything over into the existing Category:Computing, which should be the default "has something to do with computing" category but which currently has only a handful of articles in it. The contents of that category can then be sorted out into subcategories over time through the usual Wikipedia way.

Seems like a very broad category which can refer to any form of "world record". Either it gets broken down in a logical manner, or we can do away with it completely.--Huaiwei 18:14, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep and restrict it only for Guiness World Record holders. — Instantnood 18:18, May 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: The Guiness World Record holds hundreds upon hundreds of records related to almost every possible criteria. Is it logical to list every single entry in wikipedia which was mentioned in that publication in this category?--Huaiwei 18:26, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, entirely far too broad. GWB has well over ten thousand entries; categories should generally be in the 5-50 article range to be pointful. Radiant_* 09:25, May 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Not only too broad, but Guiness has commercialized it to the point of frivolity. Pay them and they'll make up a record for you to hold. SchmuckyTheCat 19:05, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
 * True enough :) I remember something about a record for "riding backwards on a motorized skateboard with a roast chicken on your head"... Radiant_* 20:58, May 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: They select the records. They do not publish every single record into the year book published annually. I am not sure if they're doing the same selection for their website, but there's sure some restrictions that we can impose to downsize the category, keeping on meaningful ones. — Instantnood 02:02, May 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * If we have to actually be selective, then the question of where we set the parametres naturally arise. Are we in the position to setup these parametres, creating a POV issue when it is not even neccesary in the first place? Seems more trouble than its worth, hence its a delete from me too.--Huaiwei 06:34, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

Buck Clayton

Wilbur Dorsey "Buck" Clayton (November 12, 1911 – December 8, 1991) was an American jazz trumpeter who was a member of Count Basie's orchestra. His principal influence was Louis Armstrong, first hearing the record "Confessin' That I Love You" as he passed by a shop window.

Early years
Clayton learned to play the piano from the age of six. His father was an amateur musician associated with the family's local church, who was responsible for teaching his son the scales on a trumpet, which he did not take up until his teens. From the age of 17, Clayton was taught the trumpet by Bob Russell, a member of George E. Lee's band. In his early twenties he was based in California, and was briefly a member of Duke Ellington's Orchestra and worked with other leaders. Clayton was also taught at this time by trumpeter Mutt Carey, who later emerged as a prominent west-coast revivalist in the 1940s. He also met Louis Armstrong while Armstrong was performing at Sebastian's Cotton Club, who taught him how to glissando on his trumpet. After high school, he moved to Los Angeles. He later formed a band named 14 Gentlemen from Harlem, in which he was the leader of the 14-member orchestra.

From there, there are multiple sources claiming different ways in which Clayton ended up in Shanghai, China. Some claimed that Clayton was picked by Teddy Weatherford for a job at the Canidrome ballroom in the French Concession in Shanghai. Others claimed he escaped the US temporarily to avoid racism.

From 1934 or 1935 (depending on the sources), he was a leader of the "Harlem Gentlemen" in Shanghai. Some of the bureaucratic social groups he was with included Chiang Kai-shek's wife Soong Mei-ling and her sister Ai-ling, who were regulars at the Canidrome. Clayton played a number of songs that were composed by Li Jinhui, while adopting the Chinese music scale into the American scale. Li learned a great deal from the American jazz influence brought over by Clayton. A 1935 guidebook in Shanghai, listed Clayton and Teddy Weatherford as the main jazz attraction at the Canidrome. He left Shanghai before the 1937 Second Sino-Japanese War. Clayton is credited for helping to close the gap between traditional Chinese music and shidaiqu/mandopop. Li is mostly remembered in China as a casualty of the Cultural Revolution.

U.S. career
Later that year he accepted an offer from bandleader Willie Bryant in New York, but while moving east he stopped in Kansas City, Missouri and was persuaded to stay by Count Basie, whose orchestra had a residency at the Reno Club. Clayton replaced Hot Lips Page. Beginning in 1937, the Count Basie orchestra was based in New York City, giving Clayton the opportunity to work as a freelance musician in studio sessions with Billie Holiday and Lester Young. Clayton left Basie after being drafted in November 1943.

Post-war
After his honorable discharge in 1946, he prepared arrangements for Count Basie, Benny Goodman and Harry James and became a member of Norman Granz's Jazz at the Philharmonic package, appearing in April in a concert with Young, Coleman Hawkins and Charlie Parker, and in October participated in JATPs first national tour of the United States. He also recorded at this time for the H.R.S. label. In 1947, he was back in New York, and had a residency at the Café Society, and the following year had a reunion with Jimmy Rushing, his fellow Basie alumnus, at the Savoy Ballroom. Clayton and Rushing worked together occasionally into the 1960s.

From September 1949, Clayton was in Europe for nine months, leading his own band in France. Clayton recorded intermittently over the next few years for the French Vogue label, under his own name, that of clarinetist Mezz Mezzrow and for one session, with pianist Earl Hines. In 1953, he was again in Europe, touring with Mezzrow; in Italy, the group was joined by Frank Sinatra.

Mainstreamer
The English critic Stanley Dance coined the term "mainstream" in the 1950s, to describe the style of those swing era players who fell between the revivalist and modernist camps. Clayton was precisely one of the players to whom this appellation most applied. In December 1953, Clayton embarked on a series of jam session albums for Columbia, which had been the idea of John Hammond, though George Avakian was the principal producer. The recording sessions for these albums lasted until 1956. The tracks could last the length of an LP side, and it had been the new format that had given Hammond the idea, but sometimes this led to unfortunate anomalies. The title track on the Jumpin' at the Woodside album was compiled from two takes recorded four months apart, each with a completely different rhythm section. From this series also came Clayton's Jazz Spectacular album with Kai Winding, J. J. Johnson and vocals by Frankie Laine. Clayton also recorded for Vanguard, with Hammond producing, under his own name and on dates led by Ruby Braff, Mel Powell and Sir Charles Thompson.

In 1955, he appeared in The Benny Goodman Story, also working with Goodman in New York at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel two years later. In 1958, he was at the World Fair in Brussels for concerts with Sidney Bechet, and toured Europe the following year and annually through the 1960s. For the Swingville label (a subsidiary of Prestige Records) he co-led two albums with former Basie colleague Buddy Tate and supported Pee Wee Russell on his own outing for the label.

In 1964, he performed in Japan, Australia and New Zealand with Eddie Condon, with whom he had already occasionally worked for several years. In 1965, he toured the UK with trombonist Vic Dickenson, and blues singer Big Joe Turner, accompanied by British trumpeter Humphrey Lyttelton and his Band. This group featured on Jazz 625 for BBC television (later released on DVR). He made numerous visits to the UK thereafter and recorded three albums with Lyttelton. In order to hoodwink the musicians' union in the UK, it was necessary to claim that these albums were recorded in Switzerland. A live audio recording made on a club date with Lyttelton, was released on Lyttelton's own Calligraph Records label (CLG CD 048).

Last years
Shortly after appearing at the New Orleans Jazz Festival in 1969, Clayton underwent lip surgery and had to give up playing the trumpet in 1972. He was able to resume playing in 1977 for a State Department sponsored tour of Africa. He had to permanently stop playing in 1979, although he still worked as an arranger. He taught at Hunter College, CUNY from 1975–80 and again in the early 1980s.

The semi-autobiography Buck Clayton’s Jazz World, co-authored by Nancy Miller Elliott, first appeared in 1986. In the same year, his new Big Band debuted at the Brooklyn Museum in New York, and Clayton toured internationally with it, contributing 100 compositions to the band book.

Buck Clayton died in his sleep in 1991.

Mozabite people

The Mozabite people or Banu Mzab (بني مزاب) are a Berber ethnic group inhabiting the M'zab natural region in the northern Sahara in Algeria, numbering about 150,000 to 300,000 people. They speak primarily the Mozabite language, one of the Zenati languages in the Berber branch of the Afroasiatic family. Mozabites are primarily Ibadi Muslims, but there was a small population of Jews as well.

Mozabites mainly live in five oases; namely, Ghardaïa, Beni Isguen, El Atteuf, Melika and Bounoura, as well as two other isolated oases farther north: Berriane and El_Guerrara. Ghardaïa is the capital of the confederation, followed in importance by Beni Isguen, the chief commercial centre.

History
In 767, a refugee Persian Ibadi leader founded the Rustamid kingdom, leading to most of the Berber population adopting Ibadi Islam. After being defeated at Tiaret by the Fatimids in 911, they were banished to Ouargla in the Sahara and founded an independent state in the M'zab in 1012. In 1012, further persecutions made them flee to their present location, where they long remained invulnerable.

In the 1500s, they recognized nominal Ottoman authority. After the capture of Laghouat by the French in 1852, the Mozabites concluded a convention in 1853 and accepted to pay an annual contribution of 1,800 francs in return for their independence. In November 1882, the M'zab country was definitely annexed to French Algeria.

Since the establishment of French control, Beni Isguen has become the depot for the sale of goods from Europe. The Mozabite engineers built a system of irrigation works that made the oases much more fertile than before.

Language
Mozabites speak the Mozabite language, a branch of the Zenati group of Berber languages. Many also speak Algerian Arabic as a second language. The Mozabite language is spoken by around 150,000 people.

Mozabite Jews in French Algeria
It is not canonically agreed when Jews first came to Southern Algeria, but one theory suggests they were sent there by the Ibadite leadership in the 14th century from Tunisia, as part of a merchant trade route. They continued as a merchant community, with subsequent waves of immigration during times of anti-Semitism across the Sahara, Europe, and the Middle East. In 1881, one year before the French annexed the Mzab, there were estimated 3,000 Mozabite Jews out of the 30,000 Algerian Jews. By 1921, the latter number would grow to 74,000, a result of a spike in anti-Semitism in the later 1800s and early 1900s, but the Mozabite Jewish community would remain small, with most Jewish migrants settling in the north. In 1882, when the French military annexed the Mzab, it began an administrative rule that was separate from the northern departments. Unlike their northern Jewish counterparts, many of the Mozabite Berber Jews in Southern Algeria were classified by the French under the “indigenous code”. Given the diversity of the Mzab Jewish population, the French administration incorporated some “culturally Saharan” but ethnically non-indigenous Jews to the north and gave them citizenship under the Crémieux Decree of 1870. That perceived distinction by the French between Berber and non-Berber Jews of the Mzab was not a reflection of “technical precision” but rather “a manufactured form of legal difference”. While the French sought to assimilate the Northern Jewry as French citizens, they recognised religious rule of the Mozabite Jewish population and kept them separate under indigenous law, which meant severely limiting its political and social power. With anti-Semitism on the rise in the late 1800s, the French colonial powers sought to decrease Jewish commerce in the south and prevent further Jewish collaboration with Muslim communities. They continued to distance the Mozabite Jews from other Algerian Jewish affairs by keeping Mozabite, or “Mosaic” laws for civil matters, and French indigenous laws for public and criminal matters. It was not until 1961, with the French National Assembly Law 61-805, that the Mozabite Jews were granted “common law civil status” and French citizenship.

Genetics
Mozabite people are characterized by a very high level of North African haplogroups E1b1b1b (M81) (86%) and U6 (28%).

Feza Gürsey

Feza Gürsey (April 7, 1921 – April 13, 1992) was a Turkish mathematician and physicist. Among his contributions to theoretical physics, his work on the chiral model and on SU(6) symmetry of the quark model are the most well-known.

Early life
Feza Gürsey was born on April 7, 1921, in Istanbul, to Reşit Süreyya Gürsey, a military physician, and Remziye Hisar, a chemist and a pioneering Turkish scientist. He graduated from Galatasaray High School in 1940, and received his degree in Mathematics – Physics from Istanbul University in 1944.

Career
Through a scholarship from the Turkish Ministry of Education he received while he was an assistant in Istanbul University, he pursued a doctorate degree at the Imperial College London in the United Kingdom. He completed his work on the application of quaternions to quantum field theory in 1950. After spending the period from 1950 to 1951 in postdoctoral research at Cambridge University, he worked as an assistant at Istanbul University, where he married Suha Pamir, also a physics assistant, in 1952, and in 1953 he acquired the title of associate professor.

During 1957–1961 he worked at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, and Columbia University. In 1960s, he worked on the nonlinear chiral Lagrangian, and produced results of relevance to quantum chromodynamics.

Returning to Turkey in 1961, he accepted the title of professor from Middle East Technical University (METU) and took part in the establishment of METU Department of Theoretical Physics. Continuing his work as a lecturer at METU until 1974, he formed a  research group.

Being offered a position at Yale University in 1965, he started to work in both Yale University and METU, until 1974, when he decided to give up his position in METU and settle in the United States to continue with Yale. During these years, he took part in the formulation of E(6) grand unified theories.

Death and legacy
Gürsey died in 1992, in New Haven, Connecticut. He is survived by his son, Yusuf Gürsey. The Feza Gürsey Institute, founded by the joint effort of Boğaziçi University and TÜBİTAK in Turkey, is named in his honor.

Edward Witten notes:"Feza Gürsey was one of the most respected members of the physics community and his untimely death on April 13, 1992 was a great loss to theoretical physics. He will always be remembered for his many seminal and deep contributions to theoretical physics as well as for his kindness, civility and scholarship. For those of us who knew him he epitomized a style of physics and an epoch in the history of physics.

Feza's scientific work is marked with remarkable originality and elegance as well as intellectual courage. He never hesitated to pick problems that were not fashionable. He worked at them in depth, planting seeds that in some cases developed into whole branches of our discipline. Outstanding examples would include his conception of the pion in terms of spontaneously broken chiral symmetry, and his contributions to the introduction of exceptional gauge groups for grand unification. To the end of his life he was tackling the most difficult problems, planting new seeds in unknown soil.

In the early part of his career, Gürsey studied the conformal group and conformally invariant quantum field theories, concepts whose role in physics are now central. This developed into his long and multifaceted interest in the unitary representations of non-compact groups and their applications to space-time. In the late fifties he did his work on Pauli-Gürsey transformations and later introduced the non-linear chiral Lagrangian, one of his most seminal contributions to theoretical physics. Chiral symmetry and non-linear realizations of symmetry groups have since become an integral part of theoretical physics. In the 1960s, Feza became well known for his work on the SU(6) symmetry that combines the unitary spin SU(3) of the eightfold way with non-relativistic spin degrees of freedom of quarks. Subsequent attempts to understand the origin of SU(6) symmetry led to the introduction of the color degrees of freedom of quarks. Feza's introduction in the mid-1970s of the grand unified theory based on the exceptional group E6 -which has continued to fascinate theoretical physicists ever since- was one facet of his long interest in the possible role of quaternions and octonions in physics. This interest also led to Feza's work on quaternion analyticity, which continued practically to the end of his life.

Feza was an exceptionally inspiring teacher. He trained many Ph.D students who now hold academic positions in numerous countries of the world. Throughout his life he retained a youthful spirit and was always enthusiastic about learning new things. He had a special rapport with the young people and enjoyed their company.

Reminiscing only about Feza Gürsey the physicist would not do full justice to him. He was a very cultured man who distilled the essential and sublime elements of Western and Turkish cultures and synthesized them into a singularly unique whole in his personality and wisdom. One could have deep and penetrating discussions with him on the music of Franz Schubert and Dede Efendi, on the poetry of Yunus Emre and Goethe, on the novels of Thomas Mann and Marcel Proust, on the paintings of Van Gogh and Giotto, in short, on essentially any subject of depth and beauty.

The Gürsey Memorial Conferences that are to be held biannually are hopefully a fitting way to pay tribute to his memory. We hope that these will be conferences that Gürsey himself would have enjoyed! His memory will always be with those of us who were his friends and colleagues."

Sir David Robert Ford, (22 February 1935 – 10 September 2017) was the fifth and the last non-ethnic Chinese Chief Secretary of Hong Kong and Deputy Governor of Hong Kong from 1987 to 1993 and was Hong Kong Commissioner in London from 1980 to 1981 and again from 1994 until 1997.

Biography
Ford was born on 22 February 1935 and educated at the Taunton School in southwest England. He joined the military service at 20 as a regular army officer in the Royal Artillery, serving in 17 different countries on five different continents. In his last five years of service, he served in Aden and Borneo with the Commando Brigade. During the Hong Kong 1967 Leftist riots, Ford was seconded to the Hong Kong government. The riots instigated by the local communists left 51 people dead.

Ford left the army in 1972 and began working in the Hong Kong government, holding a number of appointments as a senior civil servant. He became the Director of the Information Services Department in 1974 where he engaged in propaganda warfare with the communists in Hong Kong. He was Under Secretary in the Northern Ireland Office between 1977 and 1979 during the resurgence of the Irish Republican Army in the period known as The Troubles. Pro-Beijing newspapers believed Ford was an MI6 agent due to his portfolio.

Ford returned to Hong Kong in 1979 and studied at the Royal College of Defence Studies between 1980 and 1983 before he became Hong Kong Commissioner in London. He was the Secretary for the Civil Service from 1985 and 1986. He became the Chief Secretary of Hong Kong and Deputy Governor of Hong Kong in 1986, serving as the most senior civil servant with the highest position in the civil service. During this period, he initiated the planning for Hong Kong's new international airport at Chek Lap Kok in 1989. He was the acting Governor of Hong Kong for a week before Chris Patten reported for duty on 9 July 1992. He held the position until 1993 when he retired and took the position of Hong Kong Commissioner in London for the second time later in 1994.

Ford retired from public service in 1997, focusing on breeding rare cattle and sheep in Devon. He was a director of the Campaign to Protect Rural England between 2000 and 2003. In 2002, he became a non-executive director at PCCW Limited. From 2003 to May 2017, he was chairman of UK Broadband Limited, a subsidiary of PCCW. Later, UK Broadband was sold to Three UK in May 2017. He visited Hong Kong several times after his departure, attracting interest from the pro-Beijing media which speculated on his strategising with pan-democrat opposition and "meddling" in Hong Kong's internal affairs.

Ford died on 10 September 2017, at the age of 82. His wife, Lady Gillian Ford was a founder and subsequently patron of the Hong Kong Children's Cancer Foundation from 1987 to 1992.

Personal life
In 1958, Ford married Elspeth Anne (née Muckart). Together they had four children; two sons and two daughters. Their marriage was dissolved in 1987, and the same year he married Gillian Petersen (née Monsarrat). One of his daughters is Mandy Ford, an Anglican priest who has been Dean of Bristol since 2020.

Untitled
I would like to add a section about examples of e-services in well established, thriving countries such as the United States, China, and others. Maybe another thing I would like to do is to do some in-depth research about the cost factors of E-services to expand on that section in the article. Thoughts?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Devinjck (talk • contribs) 04:09, 1 June 2017 (UTC) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Devinjck/sandbox here is the link to the section I want to add to this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Devinjck (talk • contribs) 04:37, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Old era
This entire concept seems a relic from the 1990s (nowadays it's taken for granted that a service will be digital in some degree) and the sources seem to be very antiquated. How to deal with it? Nemo 12:34, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
