The Gizmos
Although the 1970s Indiana rock group is in Wikipedia as "The Gizmos", a variety of contemporary sources, including All Music Guide, Trouser Press, and (I believe) the record sleeves in the 1970s indicated the group's name was actually "Gizmos". Now the CD is sold as being by "The Gizmos" but the name the group had when actually together seems more appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.99.245.196 (talk • contribs) 14:30, July 11 2011

Township naming convention
Our articles about Indiana townships are currently named using the Township, County, State form — e.g., Adams Township, Allen County, Indiana. However, a recent discussion at the Village Pump found consensus for moving township articles instead to Township, State wherever possible.

For a few different reasons I think Indiana should be an exception and should keep the Township, County, State form, but I wanted to invite others to share their opinions and see if there's consensus to keep the current form. (If not, Indiana township articles are likely to be renamed in the near future.) Thanks for any input/comments! ╠╣uw [ talk ] 12:07, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

 * FWIW here's my take: The main reason I think the current form works best is because Indiana has a remarkably large amount of repetition in its township names, so much so that the great majority would still need to keep the county name no matter what (for disambiguation). Over 70% of Indiana townships — 707 out of 1008 — have names that are repeated at least once, and some are repeated an amazing number of times: there are 47 Jackson Townships; 46 Washingtons; 35 Unions, 28 Jeffersons, etc. Since most need the county anyway, showing the county for all produces a set that's more consistent and predictable in form. Identifying a township just as Township, State without reference to its county also doesn't seem to be common in reliable sources as far as I can see, again probably due to the fact that it simply wouldn't make sense in a state where so few township names are unique. ╠╣uw [ talk ] 12:18, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * On first thought, I would have agreed that the naming of Indiana township articles should be kept as they are now, given the overwhelming duplication of names. However, given that the "township, county, state" entries will be retained as redirects, I don't think the change will actually cause any significant problems and will be consistent with place name conventions in general. I assume the articles for all existing Indiana townships have already been created and it's highly unlikely that any new townships will be created, so we're talking about ease of finding a particular township article, which the redirects will handle.

MacArthur Bridge (St. Louis)

The MacArthur Bridge is a truss bridge that connects St. Louis, Missouri and East St. Louis, Illinois over the Mississippi River. The bridge was initially called the "St. Louis Municipal Bridge" and known popularly as the "Free Bridge" due to the original lack of tolls. Tolls were added for auto traffic beginning in 1932. In 1942, the bridge was renamed for Douglas MacArthur. The bridge was constructed to break the monopoly of the Terminal Railroad Association, which controlled two other bridges at St. Louis and charged what were viewed as unreasonable tolls.

Upon completion, the structure was the largest double-deck steel bridge in the world.

History
Following a 1906 Congressional bill authorizing the City of St. Louis to build a new Mississippi River Bridge, bonds were issued for an initial amount of $3.5 million. Construction on the bridge began 1909, however, money ran out before the bridge approaches could be finished. This led to a second bond issuance of $2.75 million in 1914, and the bridge did not open until 1917, when it was first opened to automobile traffic. Railroad traffic would not use the bridge's lower deck until 1928. The bridge was built by Missouri Valley Bridge & Iron Co. and American Bridge Company, with the design completed by Boller & Hodge.

From 1929 through 1955, the MacArthur Bridge carried U.S. Highway 66 until the completion of the nearby Poplar Street Bridge. From 1947 to 1974, U.S. Highway 460 crossed the bridge, terminating on the west side of the bridge. In 1981 the bridge was closed to vehicles because of pavement deterioration and the eastern ramp approaches were torn out. The bridge is now in use only by railroads. The disused vehicle deck has been removed.

In 1989, the Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis acquired the MacArthur Bridge from the City of St. Louis in exchange for the title to the Eads Bridge. The Eads bridge, one of the primary reasons for the TRRA's original formation, had become obsolete for modern-day rail traffic due to the height restrictions it placed on rail cars.

By 2007, only about 30% of the total deck reserved for automobile use had been removed. Most of the removed sections were on the East St. Louis side. The western ramp was relinquished to Ralston Purina and turned into a parking lot. In 2013 the TRRA began removing all of the auto deck over the river. By late 2014, the vehicle deck on the bridge proper had been removed, and work was progressing onto the western approach.

The MacArthur Bridge continues to be the vital railroad link connecting west to east for a large number of commodities, and bulk cargo. In 2012, it was the 17th busiest railroad bridge in the United States carrying roughly 40 trains per day.

In 2022, the Terminal Railroad began a $57.3 million rehabilitation project on the bridge. The project will include replacing the 1912 main span girders and a reconstruction of the Broadway truss in downtown St. Louis. Scheduled for completion in 2026, the renovated bridge will be able to handle a 15 ft, an increase from about 13.5 ft, and will support a railcar weight capacity of 315,000 lb, an increase from 286,000 lb. The project will allow longer and wider railroad cars on the approaches, and the new girders will extend the life of the bridge to 2085.

deletion
This article should be deleted as it is contrived as a marketing tool for Boston College and is of no real accurate informational benefit to readers of wikipedia. Perhaps if JFK had made such comments today, when BC is a first rate institution they would be of greater relevence. However, when JFK gave this speech, BC was a local commuter school with an acceptance rate of over 80%. While the "ivy league" connoted prestige, BC carried none. Even within the Catholic community, if one was came from a prominant Catholic family and had high marks they would attend College of the Holy Cross or Georgetown University. BC was an afterthought until through athletic recognition and alumni support it became the great school it is today. My point is this: wikipedia is supposed to be a source of information, not propaganda. BC has done a great job creating a classy wikipedia page, and that is fine, but when it starts creating titles like "Jesuit Ivy" for itself, the 5th ranked university in the Boston area, it is crosses the bias line.

Contributors to this page may be interested in this article, which has been proposed for deletion:

paradox
Is "Jesuit Ivy" really a paradox, as stated, or is it just simply a contradiction? IMHO "paradox" seems a bit off here. Cfallin 10:56, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

photo
Rather than a generic photo of the BC campus, why not one that actually shows JFK at BC? I have a copy of the famous one of him with Gasson Tower in the background. I believe it is far use, since it was issued by the White House. This would add context, as suggested in the Articles for deletion/Jesuit Ivy page and placate those who claim this article is just BC boosterism. Droitet 15:04, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Honey Fitz was NOT the first Irish-Catholic Mayor of Boston!!!!
That was Daniel Aloysius Whelton, boyo ....

Clear Bias
"The nickname suggested both Boston College's rising stature and the declining prevalence of discrimination at elite American universities". This couldn't be further from the truth. Boston College nearly went bankrupt in the sixties and did not receive national, let alone elite, status until the 1980s (in part because of Tip O'Neil, Doug Flutie and other prominent graduates). Though it may be interesting that JFK dubbed it the "jesuit ivy", it does not deserve a wikipedia page such as this. I vote for merging this to the BC wikipedia page, possibly even deletion. It is a clearly biased article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.124.0.85 (talk) 22:39, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Alumnae lists
I am not sure I understand why this article contains lists of alumnae of Seven Sisters colleges. These lists seem unhelpful to me in this context, and I think perhaps they ought to be removed. The individual college articles already have alumnae lists, and there is no clear criterion for the selection that edits those down into the briefer ones here. Because of the lack of a clear criterion for inclusion, these lists are attracting frequent drive-by additions and deletions, and I don't see how the effort of maintaining the lists improves this article. -- Rbellin|Talk 17:32, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Adding Penn to Bryn Mawr's Traditional School Affiliation
I just added the University of Pennsylvania to the list of schools affiliated with Bryn Mawr. Reasons: 1) Bryn Mawr's campus is in a Philadelphia suburb, less than 10 miles from Penn's campus 2) Bryn Mawr has a Quaker history, like Penn, and is a member of the Quaker Consortium, allowing Bryn Mawr students to take Penn classes 3) From Bryn Mawr's website: A Brief History of Bryn Mawr College: "During the presidency of Marion Edwards Park, from 1922 to 1942, the College began to work toward cooperative programs with nearby institutions - Haverford College, Swarthmore College and the University of Pennsylvania - that would later greatly expand the academic and social range of Bryn Mawr students." Also, from the same: "During the 1960s, Bryn Mawr strengthened its ties to Haverford, Swarthmore and Penn when it instituted mutual cross-registration for all undergraduate courses."  See http://www.brynmawr.edu/character/history.shtml (Princeton is not mentioned on the Bryn Mawr's, but I declined to delete it from this page because I don't know whether or not it has any historic relation to Bryn Mawr.)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.44.233.15 (talk) 16:58, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Map bug: Bryn Mawr & Barnard
The map seems to be showing some colleges in the wrong place. It currently puts Bryn Mawr somewhere in Maryland, and Barnard in central New Jersey. I'd like to fix it but I'm not sure how. It seems to be pulling coordinates from Wikidata, but as far as I can tell, the info there is correct? Not sure what's wrong. Any ideas? --IdentifierExpected (talk) 18:51, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

 * I saw that too and finally had a moment to look into it. It has to do with the module that makes the cropped map. Module:Location map/data/USA Northeast (cropped) I have tried adjusting the latitude and longitude boundaries and getting closer, but still off. Some of it has to do with the angle/tilt of the map as well. Will try to adjust more when I have more time, but very tedious trying to figure that out. I know the Northeast cropped might show more clearly (?), but it might be better to revert to the one that showed before (which has been renamed USA Midwest and Northeast).

sister school vs sibling school

removed vandalism
I changed the first sentence from: “The Seven Sisters is a lame-ass name for seven liberal arts colleges in the Northeastern United States that are historically women's colleges. ” to “The Seven Sisters is a loose association of seven liberal arts colleges in the Northeastern United States that are historically women's colleges. ”

someone else might want to take a closer look at the whole article and see if the person who put in "lame-ass" did it in other spots. Will (talk) 16:30, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Edvard Storm

Edvard Storm (21 August 1749 – 29 September 1794) was a Norwegian poet, songwriter and educator. His writings were frequently characterized by the Norwegian romantic nationalism common to the age.

Background
Storm was from Vågå in Oppland, Norway. He was the son of Johan Storm (1712–76), the parish priest at Vågå Church, and his second wife, Ingeborg Birgitta Røring (1718–1760). The early years of his life were spent in the Vågå Rectory (Vågåkyrkja). He began formal schooling in 1756 in Christiania (now Oslo). In 1765 he took the entry examination for Copenhagen University, but waited until later to enter. For a period he was a teacher in Lesja, but he returned for 1766–1769 in his childhood home. In July 1769, Storm left home to begin serious study in Copenhagen. It is commonly thought he pursued theology but he never took the official examination. Despite being from Norway, he did not join the Norske Selskab, a literary club formed in 1772 for Norwegian students in Copenhagen which included authors, poets and philosophers. Storm was an admirer of the Danish poet Johannes Ewald and attached himself to Ewald's circle of friends who were members. While in Denmark he wrote nine songs in his local Norwegian dialect before the beginning of the 1770s. These songs were among the seminal works of Norwegian literature in dialect and are often viewed as the best that Storm wrote.

Career
Storm returned to his home district in about 1785. From this point forward his work with education was of considerable value. In 1786, a circle of the area's more important men created a secondary school for children (folk school). Storm was a member of the group and came to play an important role in the administration of the school. Among the tasks to which the group dedicated its work was the important establishment of a middle school for children, and in this connection popular lectures were presented for older children and young people on topics from various scientific disciplines. Storm lectured four hours a week on lifemanship (Leveklogskab), geography, the Danish language, linguistics as well as both Greek and Norse mythologies. Starting in 1790, his ties to the school were more formal as he became a head inspector of sorts. One month before his death he got appointed to be one of the directing managers of the Royal Danish Theatre. He was buried at Assistens Cemetery in Copenhagen.

His work included Zinklars vise ("Ballad of Sinclair") written in 1781, celebrating the defeat of a force of Scottish mercenaries led by George Sinclair, a nephew of the Earl of Caithness under the commander of Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Ramsay. Local forces were in part inspired by a local peasant girl, Prillar-Guri. The Scots were ambushed in an engagement referred to as the Battle of Kringen.

Jack Broome

Captain John Egerton Broome DSC (23 February 1901 – 19 April 1985), also known as Jackie Broome, was a Royal Navy officer who served in both World Wars. He commanded the escort group of the ill-fated Arctic Convoy PQ 17 in 1942. After the Second World War, he became a writer and illustrator.

Early career
He was born in 1901 in Seattle, Washington, to Louis Egerton Broome and Clara Kathleen (Aimée) Lake. His father was an English adventurer who had joined the gold rush to the Klondike. He accompanied his parents to Panama in 1907, but returned to England, where he was raised largely by his mother's relatives. He attended Oakwood School, Surrey and in 1912, entered the Royal Naval College at Osborne. From Osborne, he passed in 1915 to the senior College at Dartmouth.

World War I and between the Wars
In 1917 he was posted as a midshipman to the battleship HMS Colossus in the Grand Fleet.

Shortly after the end of the War, he was promoted sub-lieutenant and served in the sloop HMS Clematis in the Red Sea and at Aden. From there he attended Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and after graduating in 1923, chose to serve in submarines. By this time, his talent as a cartoonist and wag was well established.

He served in several submarines from 1923 to 1938, except for two short spells on the capital ships HMS Tiger and HMS Royal Oak. Much of this period was spent at the Hong Kong naval station. He married Sybil Nicholas in 1928, with whom he had a son and a daughter.

He reached the rank of commander in 1936, while commanding the submarine, HMS Rainbow. In 1938, he attended a staff course at the Royal Naval College at Greenwich.

Second World War
Broome was judged to be too old in 1939 to command a submarine in wartime. Instead, he was given command of the destroyer HMS Veteran recommissioned from reserve. Characteristically, Broome applied for membership of the Company of Veteran Motorists, who made the ship a life member.

HMS Veteran served in the Norwegian campaign in 1940. While there, her bridge was adorned with a huge stuffed hippopotamus head, acquired by Broome from Formby Golf Club during a spree ashore. Broome also acquired a German torpedo, which had missed its target and run onto the shore of a fjord. Suitably covered in German graffiti, it was eventually handed to the authorities in Rosyth. After the end of the Norwegian campaign, Veteran was assigned to counter a threatened German invasion, and was damaged by an acoustic mine.

With Veteran laid up for extensive repairs, Broome was then assigned as Staff Officer to Admiral Sir Percy Noble, the Commander-in-Chief of the Western Approaches Command. Broome's cartoons enlivened many drab briefing rooms and dreary routine reports.

After several months in this duty, he temporarily served as Captain (D) at the base at Londonderry Port in Derry and then commanded the First Escort Group, (EG1) in the destroyer HMS Keppel (D84). For most of 1941 and 1942, HMS Keppel was engaged in arduous convoy duties in the Atlantic. One brief stay at Lisahally was enlivened by the capture of a German spy who was attempting to escape to the Irish Free State in a stolen motor boat.

PQ 17
Then in June 1942, EG1 was assigned to protect Convoy PQ 17, sailing from Hvalfjord in Iceland to Murmansk in Russia. The Arctic convoys were reckoned to be very hazardous missions, as they faced not only U-Boats but also German aircraft and surface ships, including the powerful battleship Tirpitz. A squadron of British and American cruisers was assigned to protect the convoy, and the Home Fleet, with its battleships and aircraft carriers was at sea, but distant.

On 4 July 1942, PQ 17 was attacked several times by torpedo-carrying German aircraft. Three merchant ships were lost, but four aircraft were shot down, and several others damaged. At this point, Admiral Dudley Pound, the First Sea Lord, fearing that Tirpitz was about to attack, sent three fateful signals:
 * 2111: Most Immediate. Cruiser Force withdraw to westward at high speed
 * 2123: Immediate. Owing to threat from surface ships convoy is to disperse and proceed to Russian ports
 * 2136: Most Immediate. My 2123. Convoy is to scatter

The rising tone of panic in these messages convinced Broome and every other recipient that Tirpitz was approaching. Since the first of the messages was not directly addressed to Broome, he was not immediately aware that the cruisers were withdrawing. In fact, although they should have been out of sight of the convoy, because of navigational errors they were clearly visible as they worked up to full speed. Convinced that the cruisers were about to engage enemy ships, Broome collected the miscellany of destroyers in EG1 and attached them to the cruisers, while the convoy scattered.

A day later, it became clear that the threat from German surface ships did not exist, and that the scattered ships of the convoy were being picked off individually by U-boats and aircraft. It was by then too late to reform the convoy; Broome's destroyers were low on fuel after their high-speed dash in company with the cruisers, and the oilers which had accompanied the convoy had themselves been sunk.

Twenty-one of the convoy's thirty-five ships were sunk following the order to scatter. The Royal Navy felt themselves disgraced by the unhappy episode. Later that year, the First Lord of the Admiralty, A. V. Alexander paid a visit to HMS Keppel. Broome asked the reason why PQ 17 was scattered but received no satisfactory answer.

Later naval career
After a brief spell in the Mediterranean, during which EG1 played a peripheral part in Operation Pedestal, HMS Keppel was paid off late in 1942. Broome was surprised to be promoted to captain, and also awarded the Distinguished Service Cross in 1943. (Broome was aware that not only was anyone connected with PQ 17 liable to have that episode on their record, but also that his habit of drawing and circulating acerbic caricatures of senior officers had made him unpopular with some.)

He commanded the escort carrier HMS Begum in 1942–1944. Begum served with the Eastern Fleet. Her aircraft sank a particularly troublesome U-Boat in the Indian Ocean late in 1944, for which Broome was Mentioned in Dispatches. He was also awarded the Burma Star for his service in Indian waters.

He was commandant of a shore establishment at Portsmouth, HMS Vernon II in 1945 before being appointed captain of the aged battleship HMS Ramillies in 1945–1946.

Writer and cartoonist
Broome retired from the Royal Navy in 1947. From 1947 to 1951, he busied himself as editor of the Sketch Magazine. He wrote a number of books on naval subjects, and edited and illustrated several humorous collections of naval signals. He was also a founder member of the Lord's Taverners Cricket Club.

He was naval advisor for several films, including The Cruel Sea. Actor Jack Hawkins apparently based his portrayal of the fictional Lieutenant Commander George Erickson on Broome. He also wrote television and film scripts.

He and his first wife divorced in 1954, and he subsequently married Joan Featherstonhaugh Crisp.

Towards the end of his life, he was able to see Richard Briers play him in a TV play about PQ 17.

Libel case
In 1968, David Irving published a controversial book about PQ 17. It concentrated on Allied blunders and shortcomings, alleging that Broome's decision to withdraw his destroyers was the primary cause of the disaster to the convoy. Broome mounted a libel action to defend his reputation. He was successful, winning £40,000 in damages and securing the withdrawal of all copies of the offending book from circulation (it has since been republished, with corrections.) The damages payment (donated by Broome to charity) was the highest paid in English legal history until Jeffrey Archer's controversial action against the Daily Star newspaper.

Sunda pangolin

The Sunda pangolin (Manis javanica), also known as the Malayan or Javan pangolin, is a species of pangolin. It is a member of the Manidae family. Its English name comes from the Malay name "pëngulin", which means "roller".

It is native to Southeast Asia, including Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, and the islands of Borneo, Java, Sumatra and the Lesser Sunda Islands. It prefers forested primary, secondary and scrub forest habitats, but also lives in rubber and palm oil plantations. It is largely arboreal.

Taxonomy
In the past, this species has included the closely related Palawan pangolin (M. culionensis), as both are in the subgenus Paramanis. It is closely related to the Chinese pangolin, although the Malayan species is larger, lighter in colour, and has shorter fore claws.

Phylogeography
During the Pilo-Pleistocene, Something that has shaped its phylogeographic patterns is the experience of the pangolin geographically and its climate history.

Description
The skin of the Sunda pangolin's feet is granular, although pads are found on its front feet. It has thick and powerful claws to dig into the soils in search of ant nests or to tear into termite mounds. The Sunda pangolin has poor eyesight, but a highly developed sense of smell. Lacking teeth, its long, sticky tongue serves to collect ants and termites. Unlike other mammals, pangolins are covered by rows of scales (made of keratin) and fibrous hair to protect them from danger. The Sunda pangolin's scales are brown in color. Some even have white scales along their tails for an unknown reason.

The head-body length of this pangolin can measure 40 –, tail length is 35 –, and its weight is up to 10 kg. Males are larger than females. Mature female Pangolin have needle-like nipples that are used to feed young. The teat does not grow or visibly change when the cub is nursing and is present even before maturity.

It has been suggested that pangolins' olfactory bulbs are enlarged in relation to other mammals. Their use of their snouts and tongues supports that they rely on olfaction to eat. Research has been done on the African tree pangolin (Phataginus tricuspis) that has supported this. Still, auditory systems and visual systems are not exceptionally good. Research has also been done to support the idea that the anatomy of the eyes is well-adapted to allow for nocturnal vision.

Behaviour and ecology

Pangolins give birth annually to one or two offspring. They breed in the autumn, and females give birth in the winter burrow. Den preference has been known to shift at this time to favor mature forest tree hollows. Presumably, these hollows offer more fortification and stability for the decreased mobility that comes with birthing and caring for young. The amount of time the mother will spend at any one of these dens will increase during parental care periods. Parental care is given for about three months. In these three months, the range of the mother Pangolin drastically decreases as she travels and forages with her offspring. Only a few weeks before the offspring becomes fully independent, the mother and her young can display brief spikes in diurnal activity. Pangolins are sometimes found in pairs, but normally they are solitary, nocturnal, and behave timidly. They protect their soft underparts by rolling into balls when they feel threatened. They are strong diggers and make burrows lined with vegetation for insulation near termite mounds and ant nests.

Sunda pangolins have low immunity, making them sensitive to fluctuations in temperature.

The Sunda pangolin's main predators are humans, tigers, and the clouded leopard.

Compared to other species of pangolin, Sunda have a much higher distribution across Southeast Asia.

In culture
It is important to the traditions of Orang Asli in the Malay Peninsula and indigenous peoples of Sabah like the Kadazan, Dusun, Murut and Rungus. The Kadazans use its scales to make special armour to protect their warriors.

Conservation
Pangolins as a family are among the most protected animals due to heavy poaching, exploitation, and trafficked animals. Like other pangolin species, the Sunda pangolin is hunted for its skin, scales, and meat, used in clothing manufacture and traditional medicine. Scales are made into rings as charms against rheumatic fever, and meat is eaten by indigenous peoples. Despite enjoying protected status almost everywhere in its range, illegal international trade, largely driven by Chinese buyers, has led to rapidly decreasing population numbers. The Sunda pangolin is currently considered to be critically endangered. As of 2016, all eight pangolin species are listed on CITES Appendix I, which prohibits commercial international trade of wild-caught specimens or their body parts. China raised the protection status of all pangolin species to the highest level in 2020.

Pangolins are also facing habitat loss which has aided their lead to extinction. With how small their population numbers are, it is difficult for scientists to study them while in their natural habitat. The low numbers give scientists little to work with when sampling. Another issue scientists are facing is their little knowledge of pangolin behavior, as well as their nocturnal nature. This gives them a hard time locating remaining populations. Pangolins are typically unable to be successfully rehabilitated due to their need for a proper diet.

In the past captive breeding efforts have all yielded little to no success due in part to the inability to rehabilitate pangolins, as well as pangolins' nocturnal nature. There is little data on the breeding habits and reproduction rates. Additionally, not much is known about pangolin growth and development. However, in recent studies of captive pangolins, researchers found that pangolin cubs were typically able to be weaned off the mother after around 130 days. Using this information and future studies, conservation efforts can be made to protect dens and gain more knowledge about the sparse pangolin population.

The data we have now on all eight species is quite concerning as all are coming threateningly close to endangerment. In order for us to gather more knowledge on pangolin behavior and cognition, we need more collaboration with conservationists, biologists, ecologists, and psychologists to develop strategies to collaborate on.

Health
A metagenomic study published in 2019 previously revealed that SARS-CoV, the strain of the virus that causes SARS, was the most widely distributed coronavirus among a sample of Sunda pangolins. On 7 February 2020, it was announced that researchers from Guangzhou had discovered a pangolin sample with a viral nucleic acid sequence "99% identical" to SARS-CoV-2. When released, the results clarified that "the receptor-binding domain of the S protein of the newly discovered Pangolin-CoV is virtually identical to that of 2019-nCoV, with one amino acid difference." Pangolins are protected under Chinese law, but their poaching and trading for use in traditional Chinese medicine remains common.

Pangolin coronaviruses found to date only share at most 92% of their whole genomes with SARS-CoV-2, making them less similar than RaTG13 to SARS-CoV-2. This is insufficient to prove pangolins to be the intermediate host; in comparison, the SARS virus responsible for the 2002–2004 outbreak shared 99.8% of its genome with a known civet coronavirus.

There is a possibly risk of disease when trading Sunda pangolins. This could effect humans, livestock, and other populations of wildlife. It is known for pangolins to carry disease as several have been found During capturing.

A Step into the Past

A Step into the Past is a 2001 Hong Kong television series produced by TVB and based on Huang Yi's novel of the same Chinese title. The series tells the story of a 21st-century Hong Kong VIPPU officer who travels back in time to the Warring States period of ancient China. He is involved in a number of important historical events that leads to the first unification of China under the Qin dynasty. The series' first original broadcast ran from 15 October to 7 December 2001 on the TVB Jade network in Hong Kong.

A film sequel to the series, titled Back to the Past, is currently in post-production.

21st century Hong Kong
Hong Siu-lung is a 21st-century VIPPU special agent in Hong Kong. In the first episode, Hong and his colleagues stand guard at an exhibition of the First Emperor's Terracotta Army. One of Hong's colleagues notices that one of the terracotta warriors bears a striking resemblance to Hong. Moments later, wealthy businessman Lee Siu-chiu is attacked and held hostage at the museum by a madman who had suffered losses in the stock market. Hong rescues Lee and defuses the crisis.

Hong is unhappy despite his success in his career. He has just broken up with his girlfriend, Chun Ching, after a seven-year-long relationship. She insisted that they wed but he preferred to continue their relationship without a proper marriage. Chun married another man and Hong becomes depressed.

Time travelling
Impressed with Hong's rescue attempt, Lee Siu-chiu and Doctor Wu Yau recruit him for a secret time-travelling experiment. Hong agrees to help them in exchange for an opportunity to travel back in time to salvage his failed relationship with Chun Ching. He is tasked to travel back more than two thousand years to the Qin dynasty, half an hour prior to the coronation of Ying Ching in 247 BC, and document the event with a digital camera before a swift departure. However, a critical error occurs during the traveling stage and Hong is sent further back in time three years earlier than originally planned. He is now trapped in the Zhao state of the Warring States period in 250 BC.

In order to return to the future, Hong has to make an arduous journey across thousands of miles in ancient China to activate a device at a specific location and time. He was warned that making even a slight change in the grand scheme of events will trigger a chain reaction of catastrophes that will alter history.

Warring states period
Hong enjoys a series of adventures in history. His knowledge of the 21st century, intelligence and experience as an elite special agent, as well as his prowess in martial arts, enables him to make a strong stand in history. He enters the service of various lords and nobles, and becomes a valuable ally to them. Concurrently, he becomes involved in romantic relationships with four women. The first, Sin-yau, is a wandering female assassin and the first person he meets after travelling back in time. The second, Wu Ting-fong, is the beautiful but spoiled daughter of a wealthy noble. The third is a pretty female scholar named Kam Ching, who resembles his 21st century girlfriend Chun Ching in appearance and shares a similar name (completely homophonic in Standard Mandarin). The last is Princess Chiu Sin, the daughter of the king of Zhao, who dies in a tragic incident later. He also befriends the king's sister Chiu Nga and her son Chiu Poon. Meanwhile, he foils the evil plans of Chiu Muk, a secret agent from the Chu state, and becomes Chiu's enemy. Chiu Muk's henchman Lin Chun also sees Hong as his greatest rival.

Destiny
Ying sees Hong as a valuable ally in his future endeavors and wants to retain him as an adviser. However, Hong begins to feel regret when he sees the evil creation of his efforts, fulfilling the predestination paradox. He is aware that he is not destined to leave his mark in history and refuses to stay in the imperial court. He leaves with Wu Ting-Fong and Kam Ching, who are both happily married to him at last. Ying sends his troops to pursue Hong and eventually decides to exile Hong and decrees that the name "Hong Siu-lung" shall henceforth be purged from history. All books and historical records pertaining to Hong are ordered to be destroyed, which leads to Qin Shihuang's notorious practice of the burning of books and burying of scholars.

Hong and his family find paradise in the plains far from the urban regions. Hong and Wu Ting-Fong have a son. In the final moments of the last episode, Hong's son tells him he wants to change his name from Bowie to Hong Yu, a man who historically become a prominent military general who overthrew the Qin dynasty but has a tragic end as he became a dictator. Hong then exclaims in English "Shit!"

Production and reception
This was the last television drama that Louis Koo acted in, as he had decided to concentrate on his film career. He has since worked on films such as Election and its sequel.

Raymond Lam, in his first major role, was highly praised for his breakthrough performance as Ying Ching, and rose to fame quickly. He has starred in numerous leading roles ever since.

While filming in Zhuozhou, Hebei, Jessica Hsuan was stricken with cholera, causing her to enter a local hospital. She remained in bed for over a month until she was able to leave and start filming again. This caused Hsuan's character to be absent for a while in the series. During her hospital stay, many of her co-stars, including Koo, visited her regularly.

After its 2005 midnight re-run, TVB decided to release the complete series on DVD and VCD for the first time on November 18 in the same year. It also became the second TVB drama to be released on DVD after War and Beauty, and the first to receive a non-limited release.

Film adaptation
In May 2015, Koo's film production studio One Cool Film Productions (天下一電影製作有限公司) announced that it has obtained the rights to adapt the series into a full-length feature film. Koo, who will also produce the film, confirmed that he will reprise his role as Hong Siu-lung. In March 2018, One Cool Film Productions (天下一電影製作有限公司) confirmed that it has cast Lam and Hsuan to reprise their roles as Ying Ching and Wu Ting-fong, respectively. Jack Lai was hired to direct, and the film title was announced to be Back to the Past. A year later in March 2019, Back to the Past held its first press conference, also announcing that Kwok, Tang, and Saram will be returning, though it was not specified if they will be reprising their original roles. Ng Yuen-fai will co-direct alongside Lai. The film will be set 19 years after the events of the original television series.

Butte Creek (Butte County, California)

Butte Creek is a tributary to the Sacramento River, joining the river in the vicinity of Colusa, California, United States. About 93 mi in length, it runs through much of Butte County, California (the county, however, receives its name from the Sutter Buttes in Sutter County, California). It travels through a spectacular mini-Grand Canyon as it reaches the Sacramento Valley floor, where it then flows somewhat south and west of the city of Chico towards the southwestern corner of the county.

Recent efforts have brought back Chinook salmon and steelhead runs to the stream.

There are several dams in its upper reaches. The PG&E has facilities at Centerville. The Paradise Irrigation District has Paradise Dam impounding Paradise Lake and the smaller Magalia Dam just beneath it on Little Butte Creek.

The creek was notable for the Honey Run Covered Bridge, which at 132 years old was the last remaining three-level covered bridge in the United States when it was destroyed on November 8, 2018 by the catastrophic Camp Fire.

The Colman Museum, headquartered in Chico, California, is dedicated to preserving the history and beauty of the Butte Creek canyon. Whitewater kayaking on Butte Creek is popular, in part because of the outstanding scenery of the "Little Grand Canyon" section of the creek near Chico.

Carruthers

Carruthers, sometimes Caruthers, is a Scottish surname and clan, originating from the lands of Carruthers in Dumfriesshire.

The place name is derived from the Cumbric elements caer ("fort") and Rhydderch (a personal name perhaps meaning "red ruler"), and so meaning "Rhydderch's fort", possibly in reference to Riderch I of Alt Clut.

As of 19 August 2019, Dr Simon Peter Carruthers of Holmains, 22nd of his line, was confirmed as Chief of the Name and Arms of Carruthers by the Lord Lyon King of Arms in Edinburgh, Scotland.

The family and clan are represented internationally by the Clan Carruthers Society (International)(CCS(I)) The Society was founded in January 2017 and is officially recognised by the Chief of Carruthers as representing the worldwide Carruthers family and the home of his clan. It has regional representatives in Africa, Australia, Canada, Europe, U.K. and the US. CCS(I) is non-commercial, apolitical and non-partisan and is open to any member of the international Carruthers family and derivatives of that name.

The Society is based in the United Kingdom, but is represented by an international Executive Council made up of senior members from the regions.

In Louisiana, Carruthers has evolved into Credeur, a gallicized form of the name; it is a common surname today in the southern part of the state.

Dearing Report

The Dearing Report, formally known as the reports of the National Committee of Inquiry into Higher Education, is a series of major reports into the future of Higher Education in the United Kingdom, published in 1997. The report was commissioned by the UK government and was the largest review of higher education in the UK since the Robbins Committee in the early 1960s. The principal author was Sir Ronald Dearing, the Chancellor of the University of Nottingham. It made 93 recommendations concerning the funding, expansion, and maintenance of academic standards.

The title "The Dearing Report" is also often given to the 2001 report "The Way Ahead: Church of England schools in the new millennium" which was chaired by Lord Dearing.

Findings
The report recommended that undergraduate tuition change from being funded entirely by grants from the government to a mixed system in which tuition fees, supported by low interest government loans, are raised. It recommended expanding sub-degree courses and degree level courses at university, proposing that there was sufficient demand from employers for applicants with higher qualifications for natural growth of higher education. The report also proposed giving teaching staff some amount of training in teaching during their probationary period. It further proposes a system in which credit earned at one institution could be transferred to another.

This only happens when there is a list in label(n) and Template:Plainlist is in the next data(n+1) (or in data(n+2) if there is a header(n+1)). Compare label1 with a list vs label1 without a list. —andrybak (talk) 21:49, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

 * On one hand, this might be a case of "don't do it if it hurts". On the other hand, such action at a distance between two lists is definitely some kind of bug, probably in Module:Infobox. —andrybak (talk) 17:27, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I'd start with "don't do it if it hurts". Putting an HTML list in a  misses the point of what a label is.
 * As a guess this probably has to do with  in some way. Either it's not covering some remixing, or it's not doing it in the right place, or it's not being called on such and sundry inputs. Izno (talk) 18:17, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

How can I use the English Wikipedia "infobox template" for another Wikipedia project (in the Incubator)?
I would like to use the infobox template to create a new particular infobox template (an ancient polis infobox template) and employ it in multiple articles for the Ancient Greek Wikipedia.

I've tried to do so; however, I encountered problems, because (apparently) the existent module could only be used in the English Wikipedia. Thus, I re-created (i.e., copy-pasted) the module in the Ancient Greek Wikipedia Incubator. Here is the copy-pasted module: https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Module:Wp/grc/Infobox

I also had to re-create many modules and templates, necessary to make the infobox template work, in particular this, since I got an error message: https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Module:Wp/grc/Infobox/styles.css

Here is the "ancient polis" infobox template, the new template I created based on the infobox module: https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Wp/grc/Πινάκιον_Ἀρχαία_Πόλις

Here is an article in which I use the new template: https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/grc/Ἀγύριον_(ἀρχαία_πόλις)

As you can see:

1) The style is not right (the infobox should look more or less like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megara );

2) Furthermore, I'm unable do add images;

3) Lastly, I'm unable to add an interactive map.

Could someone kindly help?

Thank you very much!

 * @Anaxicrates 1) Since your wiki is 'new', you should copy Module:Sandbox/Izno/infobox-styles.css into incubator:Module:Wp/grc/Infobox/styles.css. 2+3) No idea what issues these are. Izno (talk) 16:50, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I am very grateful to you, Izno!
 * As you can see (https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/grc/Ἀγύριον_(ἀρχαία_πόλις) ), I've managed to improve the style a lot (thanks to you!) and also to include images and a location map (in this case, I just had to understand the code and re-create the location map template). However, the location map is shown inside a frame for some reason... probably because I entered it as an image. There should be a better way, but I have yet to figure it out.
 * I've some other questions: could you be so kind to give them a look?
 * 1) How could I improve my template so as to include cell background colours and grid-lines (see this example: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abacano )?
 * 2) Currently, the "location map" template recognises coordinates in this format "coordinates = 37.65624055°N 14.5259926°E". Is there a way I could make it recognise this format instead: "coordinates = 37.65624055, 14.5259926"? (I have 1000 data in this format, so that would be useful!)
 * 3) In Greek (both modern and ancient), the question mark symbol is ";". If I enter this symbol alone in an infobox cell, however, for some reason it's not properly interpreted as plain text, and the cell is shown as blank (perhaps because ; has some meaning in coding?). I had the same problem with the "-" symbol, but in that case it sufficed to use another Unicode character with identical appearance. How can I make sure that the Wikipedia editor recognises ";" (or any other character) as text and not as code?
 * Thanks again! Anaxicrates (talk) 18:14, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) can be answered by reading the documentation here. 2) I do not know. 3) If that is the semicolon, that is indeed wikitext when used to start a line. I would suggest you ask the question on the primary Greek wiki to see what they do as it is not an issue we have. Regarding  (the hyphen), that is only wikitext when it is preceded by   and both appear at the beginning of the line. A similar comment about asking there. Izno (talk) 18:36, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much! I've solved most of the problems. Regarding question number 1, however, I've only managed to change the background colour: on the other hand, I could not make the grid lines visible as in the example I provided, nor find a guide in order to do that. This style choice seems standard for all Infoboxes in the Italian Wikipedia, while it's non-Standard in the English one. However, I cannot find where the coding is different. Do you have any clue?

Curious about infobox colours (and other in article template colors)
While researching dark mode (and alternatives to the current invert approach), I becamecurious about the background (pardon the pun) of the background colors used on infoboxes and was only able to find the historic artifact Infobox_colours (not sure if there is a modern alternative?).

For example on Paris the infobox-subheader has a background color of #cddeff, COVID-19 has an .infobox-above with a background of #ccc. In COVID-19_pandemic_in_Hubei it is red... I am not sure what these colors mean... Generally I see infoboxes have a #f8f9fa background (e.g. Drew Barrymore)

Has anyone ever discussed replacing/reinforcing them with patterns/icons or removing those colors altogether? If they're not recommended is their a style guide with agreed recommendations on wiki?

(Side note: The Trello feature and this blog post makes very interesting reading https://wearecolorblind.com/examples/trello-colorblind-friendly-mode/ and I was curious if any of it could be applied to in article content)

who likely can give me the history lesson I need here (please do ping others!)... Jdlrobson (talk) 02:29, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Any customizations made to infoboxes are totally organic, no standardization or color guidance provided or similar anywhere besides the base style (.infobox for color) and our desire for WP:COLOR adherence (contrast requirement at the minimum). I know that several areas color their infoboxes similar to their topic (sports and their teams, transportation and their routes). There are one or two colors lying around that is the same as/similar to the navbox coloration (Paris), but that's only because it used to be one of the navbox classes before those got taken out of Common.css and not any other reason that I know of. WP:MILHIST standardized their navbox and infobox colors, as did WP:COMICS for their half dozen infoboxes. I have no idea where the grey that I've seen in several places comes from (infobox character, COVID-19).
 * TheDJ might have more history but I doubt it. This is one of those places where there was teeth pulling in ancient times just to get people to use infobox so it might have been at the time "get people using the central infobox and then we can worry about standardizing colors and then never did". It might not have been too.
 * I have added support a while ago for TemplateStyles for specific infobox templates like Template:Infobox TV episode now uses to adjust the coloration, and I'd say it's in my far-future plan to get colors moved over to using those. Izno (talk) 02:38, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Like Izno said, there isn't a standardization, just what infobox designers think is appropriate. Take Infobox YouTuber, Infobox Twitch streamer, Infobox TikToker or Infobox Instagram personality: their title colors match the brand colors of the social media platform. SWinxy (talk) 05:35, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you !! This is all very helpful! Jdlrobson (talk) 17:06, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

Move mobile styles into Module:Infobox/styles.css ?
In mobile, infoboxes collapse to full screen at lower resolution. It's been annoying me that this behaviour is not present in Vector 2022 as I've been increasingly experimenting with using this skin on mobile.

The code in question is here and is pretty well battle-tested (over 10 years in production): https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-skins-MinervaNeue/blob/master/resources/skins.minerva.base.styles/content/hacks.less#L37

Would it be controversial to move these infobox related styles intoModule:Infobox/styles.css or some other on-wiki stylesheet?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts! Jdlrobson (talk) 20:09, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

 * This is blocked by our fixing infoboxes, the previous discussion of which is at MediaWiki talk:Common.css. I agree that supporting mobile directly in Module:Infobox/styles.css is a worthy end goal. (See also musings about infobox structure at User:Izno/Sandbox/Infobox, which is inhibited by the styles not being in our control.)
 * I do think hacks.less should live in MobileFrontend rather than in Minerva, since hacks are indeed hacks and MF is essentially a hack-as-extension to support mobile. This particular case (and much of hacks.less) is in the set of things I think shouldn't be controlled by a skin. Not all of it - I do see a few selectors which are appropriately in the skin. Izno (talk) 21:19, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Accessibility and semantics for bulleted subheaders
I suggest to think how could we improve the accessibility and semantics for bulleted subheaders like this (see Alaska) which are present in many infoboxes in some varieties (e.g. bold, not bold, with different spacing). Not only is there no semantic/accessible markup here, there is no markup here at all, these are just plain.

I find it difficult to say, though, how this should be structured best. Semantically, I think, "Language" and "Time zones" on the screenshot are sections/divisions of the table with a title, so "Official languages" and "Spoken language" are like the other table headers, just inside this section. But we can't use multiple elements in MediaWiki, so I'm not aware how such sections could be isolated.

There are other complexities as well. Sometimes you have a section header that is a key in a key–value pair itself (e.g. "Government" in Infobox country, see Antigua and Barbuda: "Government: Unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy"). There can also be "subitems" like "Summer (DST)" on the screenshot.

For key–value pairs, element is best suited (generated by   markup), so one could come up with a structure like this: that would translate into this HTML:

But then you would have difficulties to style the elements in such a way that all headers are on the left, and all values are on the right – and to make the widths of the left and right precisely match their widths in the rest of the inbofox.

That said, using semantic tags is not the only way to make an accessible layout: ARIA roles and attributes may come in handy just as well. Jack who built the house (talk) 15:24, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Collapsibility?
Is there any way to add a parameter for making an infobox collapsible? This would be extremely helpful for some very lengthy templates that take up useful page real estate. See Template talk:Infobox nutritional value for an example of what I mean. Cheers! –Kittycataclysm (talk) 23:40, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Honestly, if there's serious discussion about making a specific infobox collapsible, then it sounds to me like an infobox is the wrong approach. Help:Infobox explicitly states that infoboxes shouldn't be excessively long. I know that doesn't exactly answer your question, but I think the question shouldn't be whether the infobox should be collapsible, but whether an infobox is even the proper option in the first place. DonIago (talk) 00:53, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Would agree with Doniago, but there are templates that have this kind of functionality built in, eg the medals section in infobox sportsperson. Nikkimaria (talk) 05:27, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Two different issues, I think. The OP is saying we should be able to collapse the entire infobox, while you're suggesting making sections collapsible. The latter is something that should, as has been suggested, be discussed at a specific template's talk page. Making the entire infobox collapsible is probably a non-starter. Primefac (talk) 11:34, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * It is possible to make a collapsible infobox today. You simply shouldn't for reasons in the MOS:COLLAPSE and vaguely WP:LAYOUT directions. Izno (talk) 16:18, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * If you feel that an infobox is so lengthy that collapsing is desirable, you should consider cutting down the amount of information that is included. -- Red rose64 🌹 (talk) 08:16, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks all for the notes! In this case, based on the linked MOS, it seems like collapsing sections in Template:Infobox nutritional value is a reasonable and viable option—I'll propose this on the talk page. Additionally, based on the above comments, it seems like this feature is already built in as a parameter in infoboxes. I may sandbox to test and/or request technical assistance.

Template-protected edit request on 17 July 2024
There was a previous discussion with a similar request on the 28th of April in 2014 by. I'm also making a similar request as well.

Can someone please make the following edits to this template:

1. Can this template and (be set to) use basestyle  "à la" Navbox family..?

2. Also like the family, can class and style as alternative names for bodyclass and bodystyle be included, as well as width as an alternative to width:...;..?

Can someone please make these edits on Module:Infobox/sandbox on my behalf because I don't know how to use Lua (its Wikipedia page)? PK2 (talk; contributions) 05:41, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Oppose #2. There are various class and style parameters used. There is no need to introduce easily foreseeable errors. If a template creator can't take the time to write "bodyclass" then to be honest, they really have no reason to write one. Regarding #1, I don't understand the request. Gonnym (talk) 07:11, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Agreed; we don't need to introduce new alternate parameters for something that has been standard for a long time. Primefac (talk) 13:03, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I am not seeing any previous discussion, so request has been disabled pending a consensus for change — Preceding unsigned comment added by MSGJ (talk • contribs) 07:38, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I think I can get behind the first part of #2, where "class" and "style" alias "bodyclass" and "bodystyle", respectively; the usage of "body" makes me think that it refers to the content in the  rather than the entire  . Widths should not be set in infoboxes. Rather, the width should be based on the content (usually the image size) on each page. Plus, infoboxes on mobile (afaik) are all fixed-width.
 * Could you clarify what #1 is supposed to mean? I'm with Gonnym, I don't understand either. Do you mean you want to add a parameter for "basestyle" like in Navbox? SWinxy (talk) 12:59, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Regarding body association, note that this template probably won't be a table forever, see User:Izno/Sandbox/Infobox for commentary on the point. Izno (talk) 21:37, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Regarding width, that will not be supported. If you would like to modify an infobox's width, you should do so with TemplateStyles via templatestyles in the appropriate media query so that these templates can be responsive at small resolutions. At some point it will be removed from navbox also.
 * I agree with Gonnym and Primefac about the other request in #2. We do not need to support additional aliases. Izno (talk) 21:35, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

URLs in image field
It's common to find URLs in the image field which of course does not work eg. Hemal Ranasinghe. These are trivial to detect (I think?) and could generate an error so they can be tracked and removed. The URLs are sometimes in square links. Other fields are image_skyline and logo and probably others. -- Green  C  17:48, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Quite a few can be found with a search. Another option would be to modify Module:InfoboxImage. -- WOSlinker (talk) 18:10, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * This revised search returned about 700 but regex times out. I suspect it's a lot more. I stumbled on this while looking for goo.gl links and found about 200 image links with that domain alone. -- Green  C  19:48, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * WOSlinker: Started a thread Module_talk:InfoboxImage. -- Green  C  20:49, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Good catch, @GreenC. There are a few hundred of those when you use this search for image, and some 60 for image_skyline and another 500+ for logo. Ponor (talk) 18:27, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Ɲ

Ɲ is a letter indicating a palatal nasal. The lowercase form ɲ is used as an IPA symbol. The upper and lower case are used in the orthographies of some African languages (e.g. Bambara and Fula in Mali).

Its Unicode code points are U+019D and U+0272, respectively.

Usage
The lowercase form is used as an IPA symbol for the voiced palatal nasal.

The symbol $\langleɲ\rangle$ is used to represent an alveolo-palatal nasal in some languages, since there is no IPA symbol with the latter meaning, and no language distinguishes the two.

Per the article, their touring has been limited to a relatively small region, and they have only made one album, which was self-released.  Therefore, it is doubtful that they qualify under WP:MUSIC. --Metropolitan90 04:30, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

However, if the article was about the band from the neroland.com external link then I say weak keep. The reason why the neroland.com band barely passes is they have a minor allmusic.com entry however they're still a minor indie band judging by their entry. --J. Nguyen 06:14, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Gjesling

Gjesling (or Gjæsling) is an old family at Vågå in Oppland, Norway.

In 1130 Ivar Gjesling was the earliest-known owner of the farm Sandbu (just south of Vågåmo) in Vågå. He served as King Magnus IV's lendmann (governor) for the Opplands. Ivar Gjesling, allied himself with the Birchlegs (Birkebeinerne) — who chose Sverre as their king at Øreting in 1177. Sverre granted him the valley of Heidal as a reward.

Sigrid Undset's fictional Lady Ragnfrid, wife of Lavrans, was created a Gjesling from Sandbu.

Gjesling descendants still own the farm Sandbu in the Vågå region, Riddersandbu, which includes buildings built before 1600.
