Van Miller

Van Miller (November 22, 1927 – July 17, 2015) was an American radio and television sports announcer from Dunkirk, New York, where he began his career at Dunkirk radio station WFCB calling play-by-play for high school football games. In the 1950s, he moved to Buffalo where he became the chief play-by-play announcer for the Buffalo Bills Radio Network, the official radio broadcasting arm of the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League from the team's inception as an AFL team in 1960 to 1971, and again from 1977 to 2003. At the time of his retirement in 2003, Miller was the longest-tenured commentator with one team (37 years) in pro football history.

Career
On July 30, 1960, Van Miller debuted on the air at War Memorial Stadium to call play-by-play for the Bills' inaugural contest against the Boston Patriots. Besides his status as the "Voice of the Bills," Miller was the sports director for WBEN-TV/WIVB-TV for many years. During that time, he served as a sportscaster, weather reporter, and as host of the local version of It's Academic and Beat the Champ (a ten-pin bowling show), among other shows. Miller also hosted a popular afternoon program for many years on WBEN radio.

Miller called Buffalo Braves and Niagara University basketball, Buffalo Bisons baseball, Buffalo Stallions soccer, University at Buffalo football and, in his early years, high school sports. Miller continued play-by-play for college basketball well into the 1990s for Empire Sports Network, giving the upstart network credibility in its formative years.

With the exception of a seven-season hiatus from 1972 through 1978, when the Bills were being carried on rival station WKBW (and Miller was covering the Buffalo Braves), Miller covered the Bills for most of the team's existence. This period included the AFL championship in 1964 and 1965, and the Super Bowl run of the early 1990s. Miller shared the booth with color men Stan Barron, Jefferson Kaye (a trio known as Van, Stan and Fan, which ended with Barron's death and Kaye's departure to Philadelphia to join NFL Films in 1984) and John Murphy. In 2004, Miller retired and Murphy succeeded him as the Bills' play-by-play voice. Of all of his commentary duties, Miller considered the Bills position his favorite; he took personal regret when WKBW picked up Bills rights in 1972, felt serious discomfort having to wish successor Al Meltzer luck, and expressed great pleasure when WBEN had reacquired rights to the Bills' broadcasts.

In 1995, Miller wrote and performed a song, "I've Got That Phoenix Feeling," which got significant airplay on WBEN and WIVB. Contrary to Miller's prediction, the Bills did not reach Super Bowl XXX, which was played in Phoenix that year.

After 43 years, Miller called his final broadcast for the Bills as they lost 31–0 to the New England Patriots (the same franchise Buffalo had faced for Miller's first broadcast in 1960) in the last game of the 2003 regular season. His headset and spotter boards from his final game are preserved in the archives of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

Life after retirement and death
Miller retired with Gloria Miller, whom he had married in 1953, in the town of Tonawanda, New York.

During retirement, Miller did guest sports commentary appearances and voiced commercials for some Western New York retail businesses (notably the Grapevine Restaurant, where he was known as "Van the Grapevine Man"). The Pro Football Hall of Fame presented him with its Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award in 2004. He is an inductee in the Buffalo Broadcasting Hall of Fame (1998), Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame (1999), and the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame (2002).

Miller was an avid tennis player and often paired with Jack Ramsay in doubles matches.

Signature calls include: "Fandemonium" – often referring to the celebrations after big Bills wins, "Do you believe it?" after an exciting and often game-changing play, and "Fasten your seatbelts". Miller also had a custom-made routine he used when being interviewed on radio shows, in which he called a fictional game in which the host of the show carries the ball just short of the end zone only to fumble on the goal line, after which Miller mocked anguish.

Miller was inducted onto the Buffalo Bills Wall of Fame on October 19, 2014. Miller suffered various age related health issues in his last years. He died July 17, 2015, at the age of 87, from complications due to a stroke. Most of his estate was auctioned off in February 2017, including a large collection of football memorabilia (Miller received, for instance, championship rings as a member of the Bills staff for every AFL and AFC championship in which the team appeared); he also owned a Maserati.

I encountered Wikipedia one evening while googling for mentions of Valentinian III. I had a look around, and decided that I could help out here.

I am a native Portlander; one of my ancestors on my mother's side was in one of the last wagon trains to Oregon. I am old enough to remember the promise of Tom McCall's governorship, which now appears endangered by the efforts of bottomfish like Lon Mabon and Bill Sizemore.

True nerd confession: when I was a kid, I used to enjoy reading the encyclopedia. (It was a Funk and Wagnells, for those of you old enough to remember the joke from Laugh-In.) I would spend hours going from one cross reference to another. Hmm: is there an experiment, akin to the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, to see if one can get from a given article in Wikipedia to any other article in 6 clicks or less?

Deg Xinag language

Deg Xinag (Deg Hitan) is a Northern Athabaskan language spoken by the Deg Hitʼan peoples of the GASH region. The GASH region consists of the villages of Grayling, Anvik, Shageluk, and Holy Cross along the lower Yukon River in Interior Alaska. The language is severely endangered; out of an ethnic population of approximately 250 people, only 2 people still speak the language.

The language was referred to as Ingalik by Osgood (1936). While this term sometimes still appears in the literature, it is today considered pejorative. The word "Ingalik" is from the Yupʼik Eskimo language: Ingqiliq, meaning "Indian".

Engithidong Xugixudhoy (Their Stories of Long Ago), a collection of traditional folk tales in Deg Xinag by the elder Belle Deacon, was published in 1987 by the Alaska Native Language Center. A literacy manual with accompanying audiotapes was published in 1993.

Dialects
There are two main dialects: Yukon and Kuskokwim. The Yukon dialect (Yukon Deg Xinag, Yukon Ingalik) is the traditional language of the villages of the Lower Yukon River (Anvik, Shageluk and Holy Cross). As of 2009, there are no longer any speakers living in Anvik and Holy Cross. The other dialect (Kuskokwim Deg Xinag, Kuskokwim Ingalik) is the traditional language of the settlements of Middle Kuskokwim.

Pelita Harapan School

Sekolah Pelita Harapan (SPH) is a group of five private for-profit Christian international schools located around Greater Jakarta, Indonesia.

SPH has five campuses in Lippo Village, Tangerang for Early Childhood to Grade 12, Sentul City, Bogor for Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12, Lippo Cikarang for Early Childhood to Grade 12, Kemang Village, South Jakarta for Early Childhood to Grade 12, and Pluit Village for Early Childhood to Grade 10.

History
In 1993, SPH was founded by billionaires Johannes Oentoro and Dr. James T. Riady, the Lippo Village campus was the first SPH campus followed by campuses in Sentul City in 1994 and Lippo Cikarang in 1995. Kemang Village and Pluit Village campuses opened in 2011 and 2014 respectively.

Notable alumni

 * Agnes Monica - known as Agnez Mo, Indonesian singer
 * Claudia Natasia - Author

Controversies
In late 2016, the school's administration was accused of underpaying its local teachers and staff, which led to the exit of twelve Senior School teachers. Local teachers were reported to make five times less than their foreign-born counterparts.

In the same year, the school's discriminatory policies were exemplified when the administration intervened in the Student Council elections by not permitting a non-Christian student to serve as its president.

In 2017, its former Senior School Principal, James Anderson, was accused by several students and staff of inappropriate behavior and conduct in the workplace. Amidst scandals, Anderson left the school under mysterious circumstances. Then head of school Phillip Nash was widely condemned for threatening legal action against the school's student newspaper Voice SPH if they would run a piece covering the scandal surrounding Anderson's departure

In 2018, the school's founder, James Riady, who was earlier indicted by the federal government of the United States for campaign finance violations to the Democratic Party, was charged by the Indonesian government for a corruption scandal worth nearly $21 billion. [3]

In 2020, the school fired fourteen native Indonesian staff members without compensation, most of whom have worked for the school for over a decade, highlighting its decades-long history of discriminatory work policies and inappropriate conduct.

Milt Hinton

Milton John Hinton (June 23, 1910 – December 19, 2000) was an American double bassist and photographer.

Regarded as the Dean of American jazz bass players, his nicknames included "Sporty" from his years in Chicago, "Fump" from his time on the road with Cab Calloway, and "The Judge" from the 1950s and beyond. Hinton's recording career lasted over 60 years, mostly in jazz but also with a variety of other genres as a prolific session musician.

He was also a photographer of note, praised for documenting American jazz during the 20th Century.

Early life in Mississippi (1910–1919)
Hinton was born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, United States, the only child of Hilda Gertrude Robinson, whom he referred to as "Titter," and Milton Dixon Hinton. He was three-months-old when his father left the family. He grew up in a home with his mother, his maternal grandmother (a former slave of Joe Davis, the brother of Jefferson Davis), and two of his mother's sisters.

His childhood in Vicksburg was characterized by extreme poverty and extreme racism. Lynching was a common practice at the time. Hinton said that one of the clearest memories of his childhood was when he accidentally came upon a lynching.

Growing up in Chicago (1919–1935)
Hinton moved with his extended family to Chicago, Illinois, in late 1919, which created opportunities for him. Chicago was where Hinton first encountered economic diversity among African-Americans, about which he later noted, "That's when I realized that being black didn't always mean you had to be poor." It was also where he experienced an abundance of music, either in person or through live performances on the radio. During this time he first heard concerts featuring Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson, Earl Hines, Eddie South, and many others.

Music was a fixture at home. His mother and other relatives regularly played piano. He received his first instrument – a violin – in 1923 for his thirteenth birthday, which he studied for four years. In addition to taking violin lessons, Hinton and his mother attended performances at the Vendome Theater every Sunday, featuring the orchestra of Erskine Tate with Louis Armstrong as a feature soloist.

After graduating from Wendell Phillips High School, Hinton attended Crane Junior College for two years, during which time he began receiving regular work as a freelance musician around Chicago. He performed with Freddie Keppard, Zutty Singleton, Jabbo Smith, Erskine Tate, and Art Tatum. Hinton soon taught himself to play the double bass because opportunities for violinists were limited. His first steady job began in the spring of 1930, playing tuba (and later double bass) in the band of pianist Tiny Parham. His recording debut on November 4, 1930, was on tuba with Parham's band on a tune titled "Squeeze Me." After graduating from Crane Junior College in 1932, attended Northwestern University for one semester, then dropped out to pursue music full-time. He received steady work from 1932 through 1935 in a quartet with violinist Eddie South, with extended residencies in California, Chicago, and Detroit. With this group he first recorded on double bass in early 1933.

The Cab Calloway era (1936–1950)
In 1936, Hinton joined the Cab Calloway Orchestra, initially as a temporary replacement for Al Morgan, while the band was on tour en route to a six-month residency at the newly opened midtown location of the Cotton Club in New York City. He quickly found acceptance among the band members, and he ended up staying with Calloway for over fifteen years. Until the Cotton Club closed in 1940, the Calloway band performed there for up to six months per year, going on tour for the remaining six months of the year. During the Cotton Club residencies, Hinton took part in recording sessions with Benny Goodman, Lionel Hampton, Billie Holiday, Ethel Waters, Teddy Wilson, and many others. It was at this time that he recorded what is possibly the first bass feature, "Pluckin' the Bass" in August 1939.

Hinton appeared regularly on radio while in Calloway's band, either on bass in concerts broadcast from the Cotton Club, or as a cast member for the short-lived music quiz show "Cab Calloway's Quizzicale." These broadcasts brought national attention to the Calloway band and helped enable the successful national tours the band would schedule. They also gave listeners a chance to hear examples of jive talk, which Calloway would formalize through publications such as his Hepster's Dictionary, first published in 1938.

Calloway's band included renowned sidemen such as Danny Barker, Chu Berry, Doc Cheatham, Cozy Cole, Dizzy Gillespie, Illinois Jacquet, Jonah Jones, Ike Quebec, and Ben Webster. Hinton credits Chu Berry with elevating the overall musicianship of the Calloway band, in part by encouraging Cab to hire arrangers such as Benny Carter, to create new arrangements that would challenge the musicians. As Hinton put it, "Musically he was the greatest thing that ever happened to the band." Hinton was also heavily influenced by the musical innovations of Dizzy Gillespie, with whom he had informal sessions in the late 1930s, during breaks between sets at the Cotton Club. Hinton credits Gillespie with introducing him to many of the experimental harmonic practices and chord substitutions, that would later be associated with bebop.

In 1939 when Hinton returned to Chicago for his grandmother's funeral, he met Mona Clayton, who was then singing in his mother's church choir. The two were married a few years later and remained inseparable for the rest of Milt's life. (Mona was his second wife; the first was a brief relationship in the 1930s with Oby Allen, a friend he knew from high school.) He and Mona's only child, Charlotte, was born on February 28, 1947. Mona had begun traveling with the Calloway Orchestra in the early 1940s — the only musician's friend or spouse to do so. She helped musicians in the band manage their money, and she often insisted that they open savings accounts. For band members, she was a trusted confidant who was known for her discretion. When traveling with a toddler became too difficult, the Hintons bought a two-family house in Queens, and ten years later they purchased a larger single-family home in an adjacent neighborhood where they remained for the rest of their lives.

In addition to caring for their daughter, Mona handled the family's finances, and her attention to detail ensured the couple's financial security later in life. She kept track of Hinton's freelance work, scheduled interviews, coordinated public relations events, and often drove him back and forth to gigs (Hinton never drove as an adult, due in part to a car accident he was involved in as a teenager in Chicago). In the mid-1960s, Mona completed both a bachelor's and a master's degree and taught in the public schools for several years. In the 1970s, she began traveling with Hinton again and was regularly invited to join him at jazz parties and festivals where he performed. At the same time, she was active as a music contractor for Lena Horne and others. Mona was always well respected in the jazz community, and she and Hinton were viewed by many as role models; as the jazz historian Dan Morgenstern noted in an article from 2000, "If there is a closer couple, I'd be surprised."

After Cab Calloway (1950–1954)
By 1950, popular music tastes had changed, and Calloway lacked the funds to support a full big band. Instead, he hired Hinton and a few others to create a smaller ensemble, first a septet and later a quartet, which toured until June 1952, with trips to Cuba and Uruguay. After the Calloway ensemble disbanded, Hinton spent more time as a freelance studio musician in New York City. At first, the work was sporadic, and, as Hinton put it, "This was the one period in my life when I was worried about earning a living." He played as many clubs and restaurants as possible, a practice he would continue for the next several decades. He performed regularly at La Vie en Rose, the Embers, the Metropole, and Basin Street West, where he appeared with Jackie Gleason, Phil Moore, and Joe Bushkin. In the early 1950s, he performed with Count Basie for a brief time in the New York area.

Although his freelance work was increasing, in July 1953 Hinton signed a one-year contract to tour with Louis Armstrong. He described the decision as "very difficult" as it would force him to be away from his family, and it would also slow down the momentum he was gaining as a freelance musician in New York City. Steady pay and the opportunity to perform with Armstrong were persuasive, and Hinton performed dozens of concerts, including a tour of Japan, as a member of the band. When an opportunity to join the house band for a television show hosted by Robert Q. Lewis in New York opened up in February 1954, Hinton gave his notice to Armstrong and returned to Queens.

In the studios (1954–1970)
For roughly the next two decades he performed regularly on numerous radio and television programs, including those hosted by Jackie Gleason, Robert Q. Lewis, Galen Drake, Patti Page, Polly Bergen, Teddy Wilson, Mitch Miller, Dick Cavett, and others. As he recalled, "I had a great situation because I was never on staff. That meant I'd get paid by the show. And since I never spent more than fifteen hours a week on rehearsals and shows, I always had free time to do record dates." By far, his most regular work during this era was in the recording studio, where Hinton was among the first African-Americans to be regularly hired for studio contract work. From the mid-1950s through the early 1970s, he contributed to thousands of jazz and popular records, as well as hundreds of jingles and film soundtracks. He would regularly play on three three-hour studio sessions per day, requiring him to own multiple basses that he hired assistants to transport from one studio to the next. During this era, he recorded with everyone from Billie Holiday to Paul McCartney, Frank Sinatra to Leon Redbone, and Sam Cooke to Barbra Streisand. As Hinton summarized his time in the studios, "I might be on a date for Andre Kostelanetz in the morning, do one with Brook Benton or Johnny Mathis in the afternoon, and then finish up the day with Paul Anka or Bobby Rydell. At one time or another, I probably played for just about every popular artist around in those days."

Starting in the mid-1950s, he regularly worked in the studio with Hank Jones (piano), Barry Galbraith (guitar), and Osie Johnson (drums) in a group that informally became known as the New York Rhythm Section. The four played on hundreds of sessions together and even recorded an LP in 1956 that was titled, The Rhythm Section.

After the studios (1970–2000)
By the late 1960s, studio work began dropping off, so Hinton incorporated more live performances into his schedule. He regularly accepted club gigs, most often at Michael's Pub, Zinno's, and the Rainbow Room where he performed with Benny Goodman, Johnny Hartman, Dick Hyman, Red Norvo, Teddy Wilson, and others. He also went back on the road, first with Diahann Carroll for a tour in Paris in 1966, and later with Paul Anka, Barbra Streisand, Pearl Bailey, and Bing Crosby. From the 1960s through the 1990s he traveled extensively to Europe, Canada, South America, Japan, the Soviet Union, and the Middle East, while also appearing throughout the U.S.

In 1968, he began performing as a part of Professionals Unlimited (later renamed the New York Bass Violin Choir), a collective bass ensemble organized by Bill Lee that included Lisle Atkinson, Ron Carter, Richard Davis, Michael Fleming, Percy Heath, and Sam Jones. The group performed irregularly for a number of years and in 1980 released a self-titled album on the Strata-East label (SES-8003) containing material recorded between 1969 and 1975.

Hinton taught for nearly twenty years, as a visiting professor of jazz studies at Hunter College and Baruch College, first offering a jazz workshop at Hunter in late 1973. During this time he regularly appeared at jazz festivals, parties, and cruises; performing annually at Dick Gibson's jazz parties in Colorado, the Odessa and Midland jazz parties in Texas beginning in 1967, and Don and Sue Miller's jazz parties in Phoenix and Scottsdale.

He played at the first Newport Jazz Festival in 1954 and was a regular at Newport and other jazz festivals produced by George Wein throughout the next four decades. He was a favorite at the Bern Jazz Festival in Switzerland, sponsored by Hans Zurbruegg and Marianne Gauer. In 1977, he recorded with Earl Hines and Lionel Hampton. For much of the 1980s and 1990s, Hinton was featured on jazz cruises organized by Hank O'Neal, then owner of Chiaroscuro Records.

By the 1990s, he was revered as an elder statesman in jazz, and he was regularly honored with significant awards and accolades. He received honorary doctorates from William Paterson College, Skidmore College, Hamilton College, DePaul University, Trinity College, the Berklee College of Music, Fairfield University, and Baruch College of the City University of New York. He won the Eubie Award from the New York Chapter of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the Living Treasure Award from the Smithsonian Institution, and he was the first recipient of the Three Keys Award in Bern, Switzerland. In 1993, he was awarded the highly prestigious National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master Fellowship. He also contributed to the NEA's Jazz Oral History Program, continuing a longstanding practice of recording interviews with friends in his basement during extended visits. In 1996 he received a New York State Governor's Arts Award, in March 1998 he was awarded the Artist Achievement Award by the Governor of Mississippi, and in 2000 his name was installed on ASCAP's Wall of Fame.

In 1990, Hinton's 80th year, WRTI-FM in Philadelphia produced a series of twenty-eight short programs in which he chronicled his life. These were aired nationwide by more than one hundred fifty public radio stations and received a Gabriel Award that year as Best National Short Feature. In the same year George Wein produced a concert as a part of the JVC Jazz Festival in honor of Hinton's 80th birthday. Similar concerts were produced for his 85th and 90th birthdays. By 1996, he ceased performing on bass, due to a number of physical ailments, and he died at the age of 90 on December 19, 2000.

Musicianship
Hinton was broadly regarded as a consummate sideman, possessing a sensitivity for appropriately applying his formidable technique and his extensive harmonic knowledge to the performance at hand. He was equally adept at bowing, pizzicato, and "slapping," a technique for which he first became famous while playing with the Cab Calloway Orchestra early in his career. He was also an accomplished sight-reader, a skill which he developed on the road with Calloway and honed during his several decades of studio work. As he described his technical diversity, "Working with Cab for sixteen years could have made me stale. You play the same music over and over, and after awhile you can do it in your sleep. Many guys liked it that way because it was easy. But when the band business got bad, they weren't prepared to do anything else. On the other hand, I was able to work on radio and TV and get all kinds of record dates. In a real way, practicing and discipline paid off."

Hinton Photographic Collection
Hinton received his first camera, a 35mm Argus C3, on his 25th birthday in 1935. He later moved on to a Leica, then a Canon 35mm range-finder, and by the 1960s to a Nikon F. Between 1935 and 1999 Hinton took thousands of photographs, approximately 60,000 of which now comprise the Milton J. Hinton Photographic Collection, co-directed by David G. Berger and Holly Maxson. The Collection includes 35mm black and white negatives and color transparencies, reference and exhibition-quality prints, and photographs given to and collected by Hinton throughout his life. The work depicts an extensive range of jazz artists and popular performers in varied settings - on the road, in recording studios, at parties, and at home - over a period of six decades.

Beginning in the early 1960s, Hinton and Berger worked together to organize the photographs and identify the subjects of the photos. In June 1981, Hinton had his first one-person photographic exhibition in Philadelphia, and since then items from the Collection have been featured in dozens of exhibits across the country and in Europe.

Photographs from the Collection have also regularly appeared in periodicals, calendars, postcards, CD liner notes, films, and books. Hinton and Berger co-wrote Bass Line: The Stories and Photographs of Milt Hinton (Temple University Press, 1988), and with the addition of Holly Maxson, the three co-wrote OverTime: The Jazz Photographs of Milt Hinton (Pomegranate Art Books, 1991) and Playing the Changes: Milt Hinton's Life in Stories and Photographs (Vanderbilt University Press, 2008). Notable documentary films that have drawn upon the Collection include The Long Night of Lady Day (Billie Holiday), The Brute and the Beautiful (Ben Webster), and Listen Up (Quincy Jones). A Great Day in Harlem, a 1994 documentary about Esquire's photographic shoot of jazz legends in 1958, features numerous photographs by Milt as well as a home movie shot by Mona. In late 2002 Berger and Maxson utilized the Collection along with a number of original interviews with Hinton's friends and colleagues to produce the documentary film Keeping Time: The Life, Music & Photographs of Milt Hinton. It debuted at the London Film Festival, won the Audience Award at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2003, and has been shown at film festivals both domestically and abroad.

Hinton Collection at Oberlin College
In 1980, in honor of Hinton's 70th birthday, his friends and associates worked to create the Milton J. Hinton Scholarship Fund, which was used to help support the musical studies of a variety of bass students over the next 35 years. In 2014 the fund was transferred to Oberlin College to provide scholarships to students attending the biennial Milton J. Hinton Summer Institute for Studio Bass, established at Oberlin College in 2014 and directed by Peter Dominguez, Professor of Jazz Studies and Double Bass at Oberlin. The institute is one component of a broader relationship between the Hinton Estate and Oberlin, which also includes: This relationship is in line with Hinton's longstanding goal to educate and inspire future generations of musicians. As he noted when discussing one of his own bass teachers, "For [Dmitri Shmuklovsky], passing on his skill and knowledge to the next generation was a solemn duty. It was a mission that went beyond his music. And looking back, I know his greatest gift was to teach me this strong sense of responsibility. It's the reason I've always tried to help young people. If someone wants to improve, if they have a sincere desire to learn, I've always tried to be there to give them whatever I can." The multifaceted relationship between the Hinton Estate and Oberlin College will ensure that Milt and Mona's legacy will be passed on to future generations.

Species names vs. virus names
Thanks for your correction to the "Oryctes rhinoceros" page. As per the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses: ICTV (https://ictv.global/) there are 2 types of names a)species names which should always be written in italic and b)virus names which should not be written in italic. For the Oryctes rinoceros virus the virus name is "Oryctes rhinoceros nudivirus" (not italic) and the species name is Alphanudivirus oryrhinocerotis (italic). In my view an unnecessarily complicated system. Bernhard Zelazny (talk) 20:08, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * , yes it is an unnecessarily complicated system. The species name was Oryctes rhinoceros nudivirus prior to 2022 (see ICTV). The ICTV committed to using binomial nomenclature for viruses in 2020, and species are being renamed to meet the standards of binomial nomenclature (exactly two words, with the genus as the first word). I'll take your word for it that the context intended on the Oryctes rhinoceros page was as a virus name and not a species name. Plantdrew (talk) 20:31, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Right the species name changed in 2022 from 'Oryctes rhinoceros nudivirus' to Alphanudivirus oryrhinocerotis when they changed to the binomial system, see
 * https://ictv.global/taxonomy/taxondetails?taxnode_id=202203940&taxon_name=Alphanudivirus%20oryrhinocerotis
 * not everyone is happy with the new system.
 * Bernhard Zelazny (talk) 22:13, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Your notes on the redirect page Alphanudivirus oryrhinocerotis: This problem is related to the taxonomic system of viruses, where virus names and virus species are basically different names for the same thing. Usually (but not always), there is only one virus name assigned to a given virus species. Therefore, it does not make sense to have different wiki pages for both. The virus name refers to the actual virus particles which we can see under the EM and study, whereas the virus species is an abstract concept, used by the virus taxonomists to express the relation between different viruses. If we translate this to the world of animals and plants, we would have for example an oak tree standing somewhere in a park. We would give this particular tree a name like "OakX125" (the virus name) and study its genetics up to the last nucleotide. From the results we come to the conclusion that "OakX125" (virus name) belongs to the species Quercus bicolor (the virus species). Most botanists would simply say this is a swamp white oak tree (Quercus bicolor), but for virus taxonomists there is a difference between this individual tree and the concept of the species Quercus bicolor. In the case of Alphanudivirus oryrhinocerotis, I simply wanted to avoid an ugly red link, created by the Virusbox template. I don't know if the template could be modified to avoid such red links (not my field). Of course, the template is correct in distinguishing between virus names and virus species.Bernhard Zelazny (talk) 23:01, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

 * . After reading this and this, I have to say that virologists have some very peculiar ideas about how biologists studying eukaryotes employ scientific names. Some quotes from the first of those:
 * "laboratory virologists write with ease that a particular virus infects, for instance, “European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus)” (rather than erroneously writing that the virus infects “Oryctolagus cuniculus”)"

 * and
 * "A species cannot go extinct (except if humanity develops amnesia) but it can cease to have members when those go extinct."

 * There is nothing erroneous (in zoology) about writing that a virus infects Oryctolagus cuniculus. And species are normally regarded as things that do go extinct.
 * I guess some of this stems from virologists assuming that the only host organisms worth studying have vernacular names that can be used instead of scientific names. There's also some assumptions made when those papers talk about individual organisms. Individuality in (most) animals and of virions (if you have an electron microscope) is pretty clear. Individuals in fungi and many plants are less clear. I also get the sense that virologists completely conflate taxonomy and nomenclature, which are regarded as related but separate things in other fields. And virologists are adamant that species are human constructs, while in other fields they are regarded more as real entities that exist in nature (or once existed; species do go extinct).
 * Virusbox is intended to show "virus species" and not really intended to show "virus names". It does have the parameters serotype, strain and virus, but these are for infraspecific entities, not the "virus name" for a "virus species". When articles have a serotype, strain or virus parameter there is usually an article for the species. Outside of virology, when Wikipedia says something "is a member of the species/genus/family" it can be understood that there are other members of the species/genus/family and that there is an article that covers all of them.
 * There are a few virus articles that use subdivision_ranks with "Member virus" to show a single "virus name". Lloviu virus is one where Wikipedia uses the virus name as the title of the article, and Sudan ebolavirus is one where Wikipedia uses the (old) virus species as the title. Doing it this way keeps the virus species from displaying as a link.
 * There hasn't been any discussion about how Wikipedia is going to deal with viruses following the adoption of binomial nomenclature. The majority of articles have titles and taxoboxes using (pre-binomial adoption) virus species. The simplest solution seems to be to update the taxoboxes with the binomial virus species, and leave the title with the old virus species (which is now a "virus name"), not to try to force the taxoboxes to show both "virus species" and "virus name". Plantdrew (talk) 20:58, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comments and help. The 2nd article you cited at the beginning ("Differentiating between viruses and virus species ...") is up to date and explains the virus taxonomy and its problems very well. I would still think using the virus name as the title for a wiki page is better than using the virus species because then you can describe its size, what organisms it infects, etc. As you mentioned, a virus species does not infect anything, it is just an abstract concept, a taxonomic category. The way you have changed the virusbox for the Oryctes rhinoceros nudivirus is the best solution to the problem I had and it reflects the virus taxonomy correctly.

Titles for species articles
The 2023 ICTV release was published recently. It's now using (mostly) binomials for species name (the only species of Dinodnavirus is one exception). Wikipedia has around 1000 articles on virus species that are mostly titled using the pre-binomial species name (which ICTV may record now as "virus names"; see e.g. the report chapter for Orthopoxvirus). I knew this was going to become an issue eventually; now there is a request at Talk:Invertebrate iridescent virus 31 to move it to the binomial species name.

Should Wikipedia move virus species articles to the current ICTV "species name", or leave articles at the former "species name" and current "virus name"? A virus name might be a WP:COMMONNAME, but it also might not be (I think for plant pathogenic viruses, there is often a name for the disease caused by the virus that would be a better candidate for a WP:COMMONNAME than the species name or the virus name; for human pathogenic viruses there is often a separate article for the disease). Plantdrew (talk) 17:00, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

 * I see rotavirus is now Rotavirus alphagastroenteritidis, well rotavirus A that is, which is by far the most common type. Rotavirus C is now Rotavirus tritogastroenteritidis and HIV is Lentivirus humimdef1! I don't think Wikipedia, or the rest of the world come to that, is ready for these radical changes. For the titles of our articles, I think we should stick to the common name.  I think the ICTV have gone  mad and are digging themselves into a very deep hole. I feel deeply sorry for students who have to learn these stupid names.  Graham Beards (talk) 17:24, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I belive there is something missing here, as "SARS-related coronavirus" is listed neither as a species nor virus name of *Betacoronavirus pandemicum* in the ICTV, this leads me to presume that the "virus name" has now really become the strain name(s); I belive that it would be weird to have the name of one(the exemplar) strain as the title, have binomial name in the virusbox classification, and have all the strains in the subdivision (strains) section again. To be noted is that the case of *B. pandemicum* is unique, as other virus species do not even have the privilege of having a name that is not a virus name.
 * A compromise that could be made (this is only for the article titles) is having
 * a set of well known viruses that keep their unofficial name/virus name
 * and all other viruses get binomial names, including new ones
 * Something that could have even less species is if:
 * the virus species is only used in the title when there is no common name, and there are multiple strains
 * In either case, I do belive there needs to be a rule or an exception that allows virus species to be the title — also because (too) many virus articles have already had their titles changed to their virus species.
 * >>> Webcloudd@their-talk-page 03:42, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * "SARS-related coronavirus" was never a species name; it could be a virus name, but those aren't regulated. "Severe acute respiratory syndrome–related coronavirus" was a species name. The ICTV report page for Betacoronavirus lists "SARS coronavirus", "severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2" and "severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus" as virus names for Betacoronavirus pandemicum (ICTV does not have report pages for every genus). I guess "severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2" might be considered a strain now. This situation does highlight complications in titling articles by virus names when there is no longer a 1:1 relationship between Wikipedia articles and virus species recognized by ICTV. Plantdrew (talk) 15:57, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * BTW; I used the VMR MSL39 document to check the species list; Betacoronavirus pandemicum is on rows 13527-13530 of the first sheet there.
 * Yes, i said that that the "SARS-related coronavirus" is neither a species name, nor listed as a virus name; but the virus names seem to correlate with the "strains" (as they are in multiple lines)
 * but this is not always, see row 38 of the same sheet for just one "strain" with two names. severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is indeed one of the strains listed under Betacoronavirus pandemicum
 * Instead of "strain" a better name, that the VMR itself uses, seems to be "isolate"
 * There seem to be
 * the sepcies name, which:
 * may or may not be binomial
 * may or may not be the same as the exemplar virus name at the moment
 * the isolates(s), which:
 * there may or may not be only one of per species
 * from skimming through the whole 16392 row sheet, most likely all of which have a virus name
 * the virus name(s), which:
 * an isolate might have multiple of
 * all strains have at least 1 of
 * some of which seem to be just abbreviations, such as in the case of Salterprovirus australiense (#16132)'s virus name (though this may be a mistake)
 * the general name(s?), which may or may not be the:
 * exemplar virus name
 * species name [if its a new virus with no known virus name]
 * or a completely different name [in the case of the B. pandemicum])
 * wikipedia uses as the title for virus species unless they were changed to binomial names
 * the virus name abbreviation(s), which:
 * are the abbreviation of the virus name,
 * dont always exist, such as in the case of Salterprovirus australiense, but also in cases like Xitorquevirus molos1 (#16125)
 * and maybe more??
 * TLDR; Indeed, This might be a very complicated process if there is any ruling to be made.
 * >>> Webcloudd@their-talk-page 01:42, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I think that we should stick to the common names for article titles, but it would be nice to have taxoboxes with those new binomials. I think it makes more sense than naming the virus after its host followed by a string of letters/numbers... many have less recognizable common names than "HIV". —  Snoteleks  ( talk ) 19:27, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I think having the binomials in the taxobox is the best place for them. Graham Beards (talk) 19:32, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I also agree. Bernhard Zelazny (talk) 20:04, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The way I understand the ICTV system is that each virus needs a virus name and a species name. The virus name can be any language (probably even Chinese), but not Latin. The species name should be a Latin binomial which is mainly used for taxonomic purposes. A few quotes from the article you cited earlier (Zerbini et al., 2022, Archives of Virology):
 * "virus species are human-made taxonomic categories ..."
 * "The notion of a virus species helps us to understand the relationships among viruses, their shared properties, and how they may have evolved."
 * "In a text or presentation, the virus species will usually be mentioned only once, often following, and therefore next to, the virus name when it is introduced for the first time. The virus species is referred to in the context of taxonomy, together with higher taxa, such as the genus and the family in which the virus species is included."
 * The virus name is the commonly used name and can be used in a wiki page to describe the shape and structure of its particles or the organisms it infects (a virus species does not have a structure and does not infect any organism). The species name of a virus is only there to clarify the taxonomic relationship of the virus with other viruses, as are the virus genera, families and so on. On the other hand, virus genera and families are useful for understanding the taxonomy and the biology of viruses. They should have their own wiki pages.
 * Therefore, I would agree with Graham Beards and would use the virus name as the title for a wiki page. An alternative would be to have both names in the title of a wiki page like "Invertebrate iridescent virus 31 (Iridovirus armadillidium1)", if this does not conflict with the length of a page title. Bernhard Zelazny (talk) 20:02, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I was just going to ask about this, i had a whole template ready, wow!
 * here is a part that was not noted
 * "There is also Virus name abbreviations, for example SFV1"
 * I feel that virus names, species, and abbreviations should all get a place in the taxoboxes, i hope on a section like #synonyms, or on #synonyms itself. Though, Each virus species doesnt just have one virus name, as virus strains are a thing; for example Kayvirus G1 has 15 virus names; or even Betacoronavirus pandemicum which has 4 virus names
 * Seeing this, I belive that
 * the virus species title should be the title of the article, as the strains/Virus names sometimes also have their own articles (like SARS-CoV-2)
 * (edit): a compromise like "the virus species is only used in the title when there is no memorable/common name, and there are multiple strains" could be made
 * if in the future, if the strains also get binomial (trinomial?) names, they may be renamed accordingly
 * the virusbox should have the main(exemplar) virus name(strain) as its title
 * the virus template page and the classification part of the virusbox should have the virus species
 * the virus names should be listed in a subdivision (strains) section of the species
 * even if there is one virus name, it should be in the subdivision section
 * the virus names synonyms should be indented
 * the virus name abbreviation should be listed with the virus name it corresponds to
 * i presume this would be done with a

Help with updates related to the ICTV removal of the Myoviridae family of bacteriophages needed
The decision by the Bacterial Viruses Subcommittee of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) to eliminate the family Myoviridae was ratified in 2022. While the Myoviridae article has been updated to note this, this fact is not reflected throughout many of the related articles. For example, the vast majority of the subfamilies and genera that have articles have not been updated, nor have their associated taxonomy templates. I started by updating some articles and templates related to the genus Phikzvirus and creating the article Chimalliviridae. If someone would like to help with updates, it would be greatly appreciated. Wikipedialuva (talk) 09:00, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

 * This revision by the ICTV seems premature. Yes, Myobviridae is an unnatural group, but the revised classification leaves so many groups in limbo. Regardless, they are the source we probably should be following. That Turner et al (2023) article is not an easy read, but as far as I can work out, the fate of Myobviridae is as follows:
 * Subfamilies Tevenvirinae, Emmerichvirinae, and Twarogvirinae are moved to new family Straboviridae, which also contains 14 floating genera. Only Tevenvirinae has an article which needs simple amending.
 * 26 genera from Myoviridae are assigned to new family Kyanoviridae.
 * Subfamily Peduovirinae is elevated to family Peduoviridae. This article needs moving and simple amending.
 * Neither Straboviridae, Kyanoviridae nor Peduoviridae are assigned to an order, so should be placed in class Caudoviricetes.
 * The other four subfamilies (Eucampyvirinae, Gorgonvirinae, Ounavirinae and Vequintavirinae) are left floating. It’s not clear if they are still retained as subfamilies, but I assume so. Only Eucampyvirinae has an article, which needs simple amending.
 * Many genera remain floating.
 * As for action needed on Wikipedia, the three amendments mentioned above seem simple enough. I can do that when I’m sure of sources: Turner et al 2023 (as above) and the latest ICTV classification (?). Straboviridae and Kyanoviridae need new articles. Meanwhile Myoviridae needs revising. The lists of subfamillies and genera have some value there until the information is in other articles (Caudoviricetes or articles on the subfamilies). —  Jts1882  | talk 08:58, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Great work! I double checked your suggested amendments in the ICTV Taxonomy Browser, and all of your statements do appear correct from my reading of the Turner et al. article and the ICTV browser, with the exception of Gorgonvirinae being under the family Chimalliviridae and not floating.
 * 1. Correct.
 * 2. Correct. The Turner et al. article notes that "26 genera previously of the abolished Myoviridae" and "20 new genera" were also added. As of today, the ICTV Taxonomy Browser currently shows there are a total of 54 genera listed under Kyanoviridae.
 * 3. Correct.
 * 4. Correct. None of these are within an order.
 * 5. Eucampyvirinae, Ounavirinae, and Vequintavirinae all appear to be floating under the class Caudoviricetes. Gorgonvirinae is under the family Chimalliviridae, which is under the class Caudoviricetes.
 * 6. Correct. Many genera are floating.
 * I agree with the amendments you mentioned. I feel the Turner et al. article and the ICTV Taxonomy Browser would be appropriate sources to reference. In addition, the articles under them will also need updating (i.e., when amending "Peduovirinae", the genus "Hpunavirus" will need to be amended, which contains species Haemophilus virus HP1 and Haemophilus virus HP2 which will need to be amended). The blue-linked floating genera in the
 * Myoviridae article will also need to be updated at some point.
 * If you would like me to help, I can certainly try, but I am still learning how to edit the taxonomy boxes on Wikipedia, and it also seems like it could get confusing if two people are both trying to edit taxonomy boxes at the same time, so if you would like to lead, I am fine with that too.
 * Once again, thanks for the help! Wikipedialuva (talk) 05:42, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I've created the articles forStraboviridae and Kyanoviridae, and moved Peduovirinae to Peduoviridae. I modified the taxonomy templates and updated the genera lists and species numbers, but haven't added any biology sections as biology of viruses is not something I too knowledgeable about. Please check what I have done and add something for the description/structure and life cycle sections. —  Jts1882  | talk 13:03, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Her Majesty
You are quite right, at least according to the official site of the British monarchy itself, which refers to her only as "Queen Victoria", no Majesty (I provided the link somewhere on HM's talk page). These people seem to think there is disrespect in adhering to standard encyclopedic style, or for that matter to standard writing style of any kind; at least that's what "POV vandalism" suggests. It is a great pity to see people exert themselves so to make Wikipedia look so foolish, right in the opening bite of otherwise rather good articles; it casts doubts on the credibility of Wikipedia, and gives the lie to the claim — an axiom of Jimbo Wales who founded Wikipedia and is still the god around here, that "Wikipedia is not an exercise in democracy". You also have it right, you and I, and anyone who opposes this silliness, will be reverted to kingdom come. We need to take turns watching these articles, since the 3-revert rule is being manipulated right now by our two friends; but if we can gather together the (larger) number of like-minded people, and revert them alternately, then they will be the ones on the wrong side of the revert rule.... Welcome indeed to Wikipedia; now you can see why I spend most of my energy on my own site! Best, Bill 23:47, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

I'm afraid Bill just told you a pile of dog droppings. Wikipedia some time ago decided to use styles in articles on royalty. (I opposed it, BTW.) One of the main reasons why this policy was chosen was because different monarchies and different timespans use different styles (some are Majesty, some are Ducal Highness. some are Grace, some are Serene Highness, some changed from one to the other, etc). It was thought important to indicate in each monarch's page what their style was when they reigned.

In April (I think it was) two particular users unilaterally sought to overturn the policy. A massive edit war erupted. A vote took place which became a complete farce and created immense bad blood on such a scale that a re-run was thought inadvisable in the short term. So a truce was agreed based on one simple rule. If an article had a style, it was to be left in. If an article did not have a style at that stage (and only nineteenth and twentieth century articles had had styles added in) no style was to be added in. All articles were to left as they were at that point, allowing the issue to be revisited in the future, probably after 6 months or longer, when tempers had cooled. (At that stage tempers were so frayed that wild threats and allegations were being made.) The Queen Victoria article had a style in, so the compromise agreement reached to stop the edit war means that it must keep it for the time being. To avoid reigniting the edit war, I and overs have been reverting the insertion of styles were they did not previously exist, and reverting the removal of them where they did previously exist. Bill has been told all this but seems blindly determined to pee all over the peace deal worked out by people and restart an extremely ugly edit war rather than let things rest and let tempers cool down. To preserve the consensus that stopped the war, and allow the issue to be discussed calmly in the future, all changes (whether adding in or taking out styles) will simply be reverted on sight. Bill's behaviour is frankly irresponsible, especially for someone of his status. He wasn't around for the edit war and will run away from responsibility for it if his stupid actions start it all again.

Please, simply let the status quo remain for the time being. If Wikipedia changes its policy by consensus later, they can all be removed easily. But given the bitterness of the row just ended, the last thing Wikipedia needs is for provocative edits by Bill to start Style Wars II over hundreds of articles. When tempers have calmed, you like everyone else can work to find a consensus over the issue. Fear ÉIREANN \(caint) 00:22, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

I understand. What I meant was that Bill knows full well that this is a touchy topic that could ignite a nasty edit war. He knows full well that it is best left alone to let things settle. But he deliberately tries to provoke the issue. So far his actions haven't started the whole war again, but at any time it could. (A blocked user in Canberra has deliberately been doing this over the last week also.) Deliberately trying to reignite a war when he knows that the agreement to stop it was to leave the topic alone for the moment, is to my mind "vandalism". It is grossly irresponsible. Fear ÉIREANN \(caint) 00:40, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Here's just some of the bitter debate this issue triggered off before. I'm trying to avoid it starting again.   We don't want to have to go through this sort of row again. If things can be left settled for a while, then a reasoned debate should be possible in the future. If another row erupts, god knows how long it may take to have a calm debate happen.

The Way of Cross and Dragon

"The Way of Cross and Dragon" is a science fiction short story by American writer George R. R. Martin. It involves a far-future priest of the One True Interstellar Catholic Church of Earth and the Thousand Worlds (with similarities to the Roman Catholic hierarchy) investigating a sect that reveres Judas Iscariot. The story deals with the nature and limitations of religious faith.

The story originally appeared in the June 1979 issue of Omni. In 1980, it won the Hugo Award for Best Short Story as well as the Locus Award for best short story. It is set in the same fictional "Thousand Worlds" universe as several of Martin's other works, including Dying of the Light, Sandkings, Nightflyers, A Song for Lya and the stories collected in Tuf Voyaging.

Plot summary
Damien Har Veris — a priest skilled in resolving heretical disputes efficiently, although now spiritually exhausted — is sent by his alien archbishop as Knight Inquisitor to deal with a particular sect that has made a saint of Judas Iscariot.

The sect follows a religious text, The Way of Cross and Dragon, that radically revises the life of Iscariot and his place in Christianity. The text describes how, born of a prostitute, Iscariot mastered the dark arts to become a tamer of dragons and the ruler of a great empire. After torturing and maiming Christ, Iscariot repented and relinquished his empire to become the penitent Legs of Christ, the first and best-beloved of the Twelve Apostles. Returning from proselytizing to find Christ crucified, an enraged Iscariot then destroyed the perpetrating empire and strangled St. Peter for renouncing Christ, only to discover, too late, Christ's resurrection. Rejecting Judas' violence, Christ restored St. Peter to life and gave him the keys of the kingdom. St. Peter then suppressed the truth about Judas, vilifying his name and exploits. Seeking redemption for his wrath, Iscariot became the thousand-year-old Wandering Jew, before finally rejoining Christ in the Kingdom of God.

Perusing the materials of the sect, Har Veris finds himself enjoying the fanciful, creative but ultimately ridiculous narrative, finding it far more interesting than the more mundane heresies that have developed around power, money and doctrinal quibbles.

Arriving on the sect's distant planet on board his ship, the Truth of Christ, Har Veris confronts its heresiarch, Lukyan Judasson, creator of the Way of Cross and Dragon narrative, but finds that he is already expected. Questioning Judasson, Har Veris uncovers a conspiracy of nihilistic Liars, who see Truth as entropy and despair, and who wish to soften and color the ultimately meaningless lives of others by creating belief in carefully crafted Lies. In essence, they create faiths. They have perpetrated this Judas cult as well as others, and now want Har Veris to join them. Despite his own spiritual exhaustion, he realizes that, though he may be losing his faith, he has not lost his passion for truth. When he refuses to join the Liars, Judasson wishes to have him silenced, but his senior in the conspiracy, a misshapen psionic mutant, senses the impending Liar in Har Veris, and allows him to go.

Har Veris then uses political manipulation and the public's fear and distrust of psychic powers to turn the tide on the Judas cult, resolving yet another heresy with dispatch. When, much later, he fully acknowledges that he has lost his faith, his superior is indifferent: results are what is needed, and Har Veris is to continue in his role as inquisitor. The priest accepts this, realizing that the psychic was right: he is himself a consummate Liar, perpetuating a faith in which he no longer believes.

However, departing on his next Inquisition, he has named his new starship Dragon.

Kurt Wallander

Kurt Wallander is a fictional Swedish police inspector created by Swedish crime writer Henning Mankell (1948 – 2015). He is the protagonist of many thriller/mystery novels set in and around the town of Ystad, 56 km south-east of the city of Malmö, in the southern province of Scania. Wallander has been portrayed on screen by the actors Rolf Lassgård, Krister Henriksson, Sir Kenneth Branagh and Adam Pålsson.

Biography
Wallander was born in 1948. His mother died when he was about 14. After completing national service, he joined the police. As a young police officer, he was nearly killed when a drunk whom he was questioning stabbed him with a butcher's knife (this is mentioned in the account of his first case). He has a sister, Kristina. Wallander was once married, but his wife Mona left him and he has since had a difficult relationship with his rebellious only child, Linda, who barely survived a suicide attempt when she was fifteen. He also has issues with his father, an artist who has painted the same landscape 7,000 times for a living; the elder Wallander strongly disapproved of his son's decision to join the police force and frequently derides him for it.

Wallander is a great fan of opera; while in his car he regularly listens to recordings of famous opera singers such as Maria Callas, and when he can find the time goes to opera performances, sometimes crossing over to Copenhagen, Denmark for this purpose. At one time, Wallander had dreamed of making opera his life, leaving the police force and becoming the impresario of his friend, Sten Widén, a tenor who aspired to sing opera. But Widén's voice was not good enough and the dream came to naught—a crushing disappointment in Wallander's life (as in Widén's).

Inspector Wallander has few close friends and is known for his less-than-desirable lifestyle; he consumes too much alcohol and junk food, exercises very little, and sometimes struggles with anger. He frequently regards the crimes he investigates on a very personal level, throwing himself into catching criminals and going against the orders of his superiors to try to solve a case, often with negative effects on his emotional stability.

Over the years he has grown increasingly disillusioned with his work and often wonders whether he should have become a police officer at all. He was once falsely sued and harassed for police brutality and still lives with the guilt of having shot and killed a man in the fog, an act which drove him into depression and nearly led to his resignation. His relationships with his colleagues are tentative; they are alternately amazed by his intellect and frustrated by his brusque manner and aggressive tactics.

He is frequently at loose ends socially and with his family. After the breakup of his marriage, he had an affair with Annette Brolin, the prosecutor with whom he was working on some cases — but she was married and had children, and would not consider divorcing for his sake ("Faceless Killers"). In later years, he maintains a somewhat inconsistent romantic relationship with Baiba Liepa, a woman in Riga, Latvia, whom he met while investigating a murder there, until it eventually dissolves. Over the course of the series he is diagnosed with diabetes, and towards the end of his career he suffers from memory lapses, discovering he has developed Alzheimer's disease, with which his father was also afflicted.

The following novel features Wallander's daughter Linda in the lead, while he is a secondary character: It was intended as the first of a spinoff trilogy. However Mankell was so distraught after the suicide of Johanna Sällström, the actress playing the character at the time in the Swedish TV series, that he decided to abandon the series after only the first novel.
 * Innan frosten (2002; English translation by Ebba Segerberg: Before the Frost, 2005)

The order that the novels occur in the timeline of the series is shown below (with the title of the English translation shown in parentheses). Note that there is some overlap in the timeline among the novels as there are three separate series.

Film series (Swedish)
Between 1994 and 2007, all nine Wallander novels published at the time were made into films in Sweden starring Rolf Lassgård as Wallander:

TV series (Swedish)
From 2005 to 2006, 13 new stories, starring Krister Henriksson as Kurt Wallander and Johanna Sällström as Linda Wallander, were produced. The first film, based on Before the Frost, was released in cinemas. The rest are original stories not based on any of Mankell's books, and were released on DVD, with the exception of Mastermind which was also released in cinemas. Two of these films were directed by BAFTA award-winning Swedish director Jonas Grimås, who outside Sweden is best known for his work on British television such as the 1990s crime drama Second Sight (Kingdom of the Blind) starring Clive Owen, police drama series Heartbeat, and Hamish Macbeth.

Yellow Bird announced in March 2008 that 13 new Swedish language Wallander films were to be made with Krister Henriksson. Production started in 2008. These new films were to have a more political slant than the previous films starring Henriksson. The first production in the second series,, was given a cinematic launch in Sweden on 9 January 2009 before being released on DVD. The theme over the closing credits is "Quiet Night", sung by Anna Ternheim. The remaining were scheduled to be released on DVD during early 2010:

A third series consisting of six episodes was released in 2013. This is the last season with Krister Henriksson. In these final episodes, Kurt Wallander suffers from memory problems because of Alzheimer's disease, and he cannot continue to work as a policeman.

 * Den orolige mannen
 * Försvunnen
 * Sveket
 * Saknaden
 * Mordbrännaren
 * Sorgfågeln.

TV series (British)
The novels have also been adapted as twelve television films for the BBC, produced by Yellow Bird and Left Bank Pictures. The series stars Kenneth Branagh as Wallander. The episodes have not been filmed in the order in which the original novels were published, resulting in changes to the backstories of the lead characters in the films. The first series consisted of the novels Sidetracked, Firewall and One Step Behind. These three were shot on location in Ystad in the summer of 2008, with a combined budget of £6 million ($12 million). They aired in late 2008 on the BBC.

A second series of Wallander adaptations was commissioned by the BBC from the same production team in 2008. Broadcast in January 2010, the second series was composed of adaptations of Faceless Killers, The Man Who Smiled, and The Fifth Woman.

The third series began shooting in Ystad and Riga, Latvia in the Summer of 2011 and continued into the winter. Broadcast in July 2012, it consists of adaptations of An Event in Autumn, The Dogs of Riga and Before the Frost. While the novel Before the Frost has Wallander's daughter Linda as its protagonist detective, the story was adapted for television so that Wallander himself became the lead.

The BBC Wallander series concluded in May 2016 with a three-episode fourth series consisting of an adaptation of The White Lioness and a two-episode adaptation of Mankell's final Wallander novel, The Troubled Man.

Special appearances
Mankell's friend and writer Jan Guillou used Kurt Wallander in the 10th book of his Carl Hamilton-series. Guillou and Mankell also co-wrote the Swedish crime-drama mini series Talismanen and here we also encounter Kurt Wallander as a supporting character, this time portrayed by actor Lennart Jähkel.

Young Wallander
Starting in September 2020, streaming service Netflix launched a new English-language series based on the character, entitled Young Wallander. The series depicts Wallander (Adam Pålsson) as a rookie detective in present-day Malmö, as opposed to the usual setting of Ystad. The show is not based on any of the novels, nor does it feature any of the familiar supporting characters from Mankell's works.

Young Wallander is a Swedish-UK co-production, with Pålsson the sole Swedish actor, amidst a mostly British cast. In November 2020, the series was renewed for a second season.

Henry Fonda filmography

This is the filmography of American actor Henry Fonda (May 16, 1905 – August 12, 1982). From the beginning of Fonda's career in 1935 through to his last projects in 1981, Fonda appeared in more than 100 films, television programs and short subjects.

Through the course of his career, he appeared in many critically acclaimed films, including 12 Angry Men and The Ox-Bow Incident. His roles in 1940's The Grapes of Wrath and 1981's On Golden Pond both earned him Academy Award nominations and he won for the latter. Fonda made his mark in Westerns, appearing as Frank James in Jesse James and The Return of Frank James, and war films such as The Longest Day and In Harm's Way, and made frequent appearances in both television and foreign productions late in his career. He was Bette Davis' leading man in the romantic period piece Jezebel and portrayed historical figures Abraham Lincoln in Young Mr. Lincoln and Wyatt Earp in My Darling Clementine. Fonda made three movies with his close friend James Stewart: On Our Merry Way, Firecreek and The Cheyenne Social Club; the two appearing separately as well in How the West Was Won. Henry Fonda made no major film appearances between 1948's Fort Apache with John Wayne and Mister Roberts with James Cagney in 1955, seven years later, concentrating instead on the stage; both films were directed by John Ford.
