Format changes I violated 3rr, but it was to correct mistakes I had made.

12 June, 2007 cleanup
I removed the pseudo-referential external link to http://img114.exs.cx/img114/2947/bloodsport24up.jpg; there is no justification for its existence at ImageShack, and the uploader provides no claim that s/he has the right to use it.

I also removed the link to http://goodcomics.blogspot.com/2005/06/comic-book-urban-legends-revealed-2.html, which was similarly being used as a "reference"; Wikipedia:Verifiability states, "Anyone can create a website or pay to have a book published, then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published books, personal websites, and blogs are largely not acceptable as sources."

However, I also added a "Notes and references" section, with the Reflist tag, so if someone can provide reliable references for any statements in the article they will be displayed easily.

I did some other minor fixing, and added copyedit and unreferenced to attract some more attention for cleanup to the article. PaladinWhite 00:11, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Youngblood Animated Series
OK, I posted what information I could about this, but there's frustratingly little information on-line (Google searches for "animated youngblood" and "youngblood cartoon" appear to turn up all there is.) What I can't confirm from on-line searches, but recall seeing is actual content of the animated Youngblood, though the aforementioned searches confirm its existence. I remember seeing a commercial for the action figures and in the background they played the clip, which I had previously seen stills of, either in Wizard or Heroes Illustrated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.254.112.191 (talk) 11:10, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

First appearance
Since the article states "The team made its debut as a backup feature in the 1987 one-shot Megaton: Explosion before later appearing in its own ongoing series in 1992", should the infobox be changed from "First appearance Youngblood #1 (April 1992)" to "First appearance Megaton: Explosion (1987)" ?

Merger proposal
I believe that the likes of Photon and other Youngblood characters should be merged as there is no little third person sources. Dwanyewest (talk) 16:30, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Response: The character Ballistic should not be merged with Youngblood, because she is a Cyberforce character created by Marc Silvestri, not a Youngblood character created by Rob Liefeld.

December's Child

December's Child is the fifth album from The Original Harmony Ridge Creekdippers released in 2002.

Reception
Writing for Allmusic, music critic Steve Kurutz praised the album's "minimalist approach" and wrote "Whether singing about around-the-clock meth labs or newspaper roses sold by the side of the road, he creates fully realized worlds within each song on December's Child. The lo-fi folk vibe of the earlier self-released Creekdippers recordings and 2000's My Own Jo Ellen remains... but the electricity and amplification have been turned up a bit, too—rather than deliberately eschewed as he seemed to prefer after first going relatively solo."

Track listing

 * 1) "How Can I Send Tonight (There to Tell You)" – 3:46
 * 2) "Still We Have a Friend in You" – 3:52

 * 4) "Back to the Old Homeplace" – 2:29

Panic! at the Disco

'''Panic! at the Disco''' was an American pop rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada, formed in 2004 by childhood friends Ryan Ross, Spencer Smith, Brent Wilson, and Brendon Urie. Following several lineup changes, Panic! at the Disco operated as the solo project of frontman Urie from 2015 until its discontinuation in 2023.

The band recorded their first demos while they were in high school. Shortly after, they recorded and released their debut studio album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (2005). Popularized by the second single, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies", the album was certified triple platinum in the US. In 2006, founding bassist Brent Wilson was fired from the band during an extensive world tour and subsequently replaced by Jon Walker. The band's second album, Pretty. Odd. (2008), was preceded by the single "Nine in the Afternoon". The album marked a significant departure from the sound of the band's debut. Ross and Walker, who favored the band's new direction, departed because Urie and Smith wanted to make further changes to the band's style. Ross and Walker subsequently formed a new band, the Young Veins, leaving Urie and Smith as the sole remaining members of Panic! at the Disco.

Continuing as a duo, Urie and Smith released a new single, "New Perspective", for the movie Jennifer's Body, and recruited bassist Dallon Weekes and guitarist Ian Crawford as touring musicians for live performances. Weekes was later inducted into the band's lineup as a full-time member in 2010. The band's third studio album, Vices & Virtues (2011), was recorded solely by Urie and Smith in 2010, produced by John Feldmann and Butch Walker. Crawford departed once the tour cycle for Vices & Virtues ended in 2012. As a three-piece, Urie, Smith, and Weekes recorded and released the band's fourth studio album, Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!, in 2013. Prior to the release of the album, Smith unofficially left the band due to health- and drug-related issues, leaving Urie and Weekes as the remaining members. The duo recruited guitarist Kenneth Harris and drummer Dan Pawlovich as touring musicians for live performances.

In 2015, Smith officially left the band after not performing live with them since his departure in 2013. Shortly thereafter, Weekes reverted to being a touring musician once again, resulting in Panic! becoming Urie's solo project. In April 2015, "Hallelujah" was released as the first single from Panic! at the Disco's fifth studio album, Death of a Bachelor (2016). In December 2017, Weekes officially announced his departure from the band, with Nicole Row replacing him in the touring lineup. In March 2018, Panic! at the Disco released "Say Amen (Saturday Night)", the lead single from its sixth studio album, Pray for the Wicked (2018), which was released in June. Panic! at the Disco's seventh and final studio album, Viva Las Vengeance, was released on August 19, 2022. On January 24, 2023, Urie officially announced that Panic! at the Disco would disband following the conclusion of the Viva Las Vengeance Tour on March 10 of that year.

2004–2005: Formation as rock band and early years
Panic! at the Disco was formed in 2004 in the suburban area of Summerlin, Las Vegas, by childhood friends Ryan Ross, who sang and played guitar, and Spencer Smith, who played drums. They both attended Bishop Gorman High School, and they began playing music together in ninth grade. They invited friend Brent Wilson from nearby Palo Verde High School to join on bass, and Wilson invited classmate Brendon Urie to try out on guitar. The quartet soon began rehearsing in Smith's grandmother's living room. Ross initially was the lead singer for the group, but after hearing Urie sing back-up during rehearsals, the group decided to make him the lead. Initially, Panic! at the Disco was a Blink-182 cover band.

The band, which aimed to feature a lighter and more accessible sound when in comparison to Las Vegas' heavier music scene, signed a recording contract without having performed a live show. Urie began working at Tropical Smoothie Cafe in Summerlin to afford rent for the band's new practice space. Urie has stated that he sang for tips during his time working, thus indicating he had some prestige as a singer. The four left their educations behind to concentrate on music; Ross had a falling-out with his father when he dropped out of college, and when Urie dropped out of high school, his parents kicked him out of the house.

Ross and Urie sent a demo to Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz via a LiveJournal account. Wentz, who was in Los Angeles at the time with the rest of Fall Out Boy working on the band's major-label debut, From Under the Cork Tree, drove to Las Vegas to meet with the young, unsigned band. Upon hearing "two to three" songs during band practice, Wentz was impressed and immediately wanted the band to sign to his Fueled by Ramen imprint label Decaydance Records, which made the band the first on the new label. Around December 2004, the group signed to the label. As news broke that Wentz had signed Panic! (who had yet to perform a single live show), fans on the Internet began to bash the group. "Almost right away we knew what was going to happen," Ross explained in a 2006 interview. "We had two songs online and people were already making assumptions on what kind of band we were and what we were going to sound like."

Meanwhile, Wentz began to hype the band wherever possible: from wearing "Pete! at the Disco" T-shirts onstage to mentioning the group in interviews. Wentz gave a quick shout-out to the band during a press junket on the day before the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards: "I've got a couple of bands coming out soon on Decaydance, one being this band called Panic! at the Disco," Wentz said. "Their record is going to be your next favorite record. It's called A Fever You Can't Sweat Out – get it before your little brother does." At the time of the band's signing, all of the band members were still in high school (with the exception of Ross, who was forced to quit UNLV). Urie graduated in May 2005, and Wilson and Smith finished school online as the band left for College Park, Maryland, to record their debut record.

2005–2007: A Fever You Can't Sweat Out
The band relocated to College Park, Maryland, to record its debut album from June to September 2005. Although they only had shells of songs when they arrived, the rest of the album shaped up fast through the marathon session. "We didn't have a day off in the five-and-a-half weeks we were there, 12 or 14 hours a day," Ross said in a 2005 interview. "We were making things up in our heads that weren't there, and on top of the stress of trying to finish the record, we were living in a one-bedroom apartment with four people on bunk beds," recalled Ross. "Everyone got on everybody's nerves. Someone would write a new part for a song and someone else would say they didn't like it just because you ate their cereal that morning."

The album is split into two halves: the first half is mostly electronic dance punk, while the second half features Vaudevillian piano, strings, and accordion. The band grew tired of writing only with drum machines and keyboards and, inspired by film scores (specifically the works of Danny Elfman and Jon Brion) decided to write a completely different half. "By the end of that, we were completely exhausted," said Ross of the studio sessions. After its completion, "we had two weeks to come home and learn how to be a band," Ross said. The group played its first live show during the summer of 2005 at local Las Vegas music venue The Alley on West Charleston. Afterwards, the band toured nationally on the Nintendo Fusion Tour with mentors Fall Out Boy, as well as Motion City Soundtrack, the Starting Line, and Boys Night Out for the rest of 2005.

The band's debut album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, was released September 27, 2005. Sales began relatively slow. It debuted at No. 112 on the Billboard 200 album chart, No. 6 on the Billboard Independent Albums chart, and No. 1 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart, with nearly 10,000 albums sold in the first week of release. Within a span of four months, Panic! would release the video for its first single, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies", rocket up the Billboard Hot 100 as sales of Fever passed the 500,000 mark. At the end of March 2006, the band announced a headlining tour. By August, the group's debut record was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and the music video for "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" won Video of the Year at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards. "Some aspects of the fame are annoying, but at the end of the day it's something we're most grateful for. It's certainly opened the door to a whole new batch of opportunities," Ross said of the band's newfound fame and instant success.

On May 17, 2006, Panic! at the Disco announced that original bassist Brent Wilson had left the band, "posting a statement that was both diplomatic and entirely inscrutable […] yet [failing] to mention any reason why Wilson is leaving Panic," according to MTV News. He was replaced in the band by Jon Walker. In June, Wilson asserted to MTV News that he was kicked out of the band via a phone call. "It was done as a phone call and the only person who spoke was Spencer. Apparently, Brendon and Ryan were on the speakerphone too, but they didn't say a word. They never even said they were sorry," explained Wilson. Smith wrote a lengthy e-mail back to James Montgomery of MTV News, stating, in part, "We made the decision based on Brent's lack of responsibility and the fact that he wasn't progressing musically with the band," and revealed that Wilson did not write nor play any bass present on Fever. Instead, Urie recorded these parts. Wilson demanded a cut in royalties, and threatened to take his former band to court.

In 2006, the band supported the Academy Is... on the band's worldwide Ambitious Ones and Smoking Guns Tour from January to May. Beginning in June, the group headlined its first unnamed national tour, that would last until August. During the group's performance at the 2006 Reading Festival in August, the band was greeted by excessive bottling, one of which hit Urie in the face that knocked him unconscious. Despite this, the band continued with its set after Urie recovered. The band's second headlining tour, dubbed the Nothing Rhymes with Circus Tour, began in November. In roughly one year, Panic! at the Disco went from being the opening act on a five-band bill to the headliners on a massive arena tour.

The Nothing Rhymes with Circus Tour feature the band's first highly theatrical live shows, which featured every song with dance numbers, skits, and tricks performed by a six-member troupe, as the band donned intricate costumes, loosely re-enacting moments from the songs. Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times noted the sudden success and circus-inspired tour of the young band in a concert review: "There's something charming about watching a band trying to navigate sudden success, aided by a contortionist, a ribbon dancer and all the rest of it." MTV News favorably likened its theme and wardrobe to "Janet Jackson's audience-dividing, hypersexual The Velvet Rope Tour." The group, fresh off the major success of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, took a break after non-stop touring, and the group members began formulating ideas for their next album together during the winter of 2006.

2007–2009: Pretty. Odd.
In March 2007, after a short period of development regarding the ideas of the album, the band arrived at a cabin in the rural mountains of Mount Charleston, Nevada and began the writing process for the new album, Cricket & Clover. After recording the new tracks and performing them live over the summer, the band returned to its native Las Vegas as well as the group's old rehearsal studio, where the band members wrote their debut record. Songs such as "Scarlet" and "It's True Love" have had lyrics found. One track from Cricket & Clover, "Nearly Witches", was later featured on Vices & Virtues in 2011. The band grew uninterested in the songs previously written and by August scrapped the entire new album (which Ross later revealed was "three-quarters" done) and started over. "We wanted to approach these songs in the most basic form," Ross said. "We wrote them all on one acoustic guitar and with someone singing. I think that we kind of skipped that part of songwriting on the first record, and this time we're sort of paying attention to that. […] We've written a bunch of songs since we've been home [Las Vegas]. I think it's the most fun and the happiest we've been since we started." With simplicity the new focus and the old album shelved, the group settled in and began recording what would become ''Pretty. Odd.'' In October, the band entered the Studio at the Palms at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas to begin recording the album.

In January 2008, the band unveiled a new logo and dropped the exclamation point from the group's name, becoming Panic at the Disco. Released on March 21, 2008, Pretty. Odd. was described by the band as "more organic and mellower" than A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, as well as unintentionally and coincidentally similar to music of the Beatles, in both songwriting and scope. The record debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart, with first-day sales of 54,000, and first-week sales of 139,000 copies in the United States. Those figures marked the band's biggest sales week to that date, beating a previous record held by A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (which sold 45,000 during the winter of 2006). The record also debuted at Current Alternative Albums chart and No. 2 on the Digital Albums chart, the latter of which accounted for 26 percent of the disc's overall sales. The album charted high in various other countries and was eventually certified gold in the United Kingdom, however, ''Pretty. Odd.'' received relatively disappointing sales in the face of its predecessor. ''Pretty. Odd. was, however, critically acclaimed in contrast to Fever: Barry Walters of Spin'' called Panic's debut album "embarrassing" while regarding the new record as "[daring] to be optimistically beautiful at a time when sadness and ugliness might have won them easier credibility."

The band announced plans to headline the 2008 Honda Civic Tour in January 2008, which took up the majority of early touring for the album. Motion City Soundtrack, the Hush Sound and Phantom Planet opened for the tour, which performed across North America from April 10 to July 14, 2008. Throughout October and November 2008, the band toured with Dashboard Confessional and the Cab on the Rock Band Live Tour promoting the video game Rock Band 2.

As expected and predicted by several music publications, the band adopted a very different style for the touring in support of ''Pretty. Odd.'', in contrast to the dark, circus-themed elements of the band's previous stage shows. Each show contained "woodsy set pieces, projections of flora and fauna, and mic stands wrapped in lights and flowers," and each band member dressed in a vest. While reflecting on the theatrical nature of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out touring, Urie commented: "We did it and it was a lot of fun when we did it, but this time around I think we wanted to get back to a more intimate, personal setting, and scale it down a little bit." Ryan Ross explained that: "It's more about connecting with the audience and seeing what's gonna happen every night. It's not as scripted out and pre-planned. It makes it more exciting for us, and less monotonous every night." A live album, ...Live in Chicago, based on live recordings from Chicago during the Honda Civic Tour, was released December 2, 2008. An accompanying DVD contains photos from the tour, each music video from the album as well as behind-the-scenes footage of the videos and the tour, the short film ''Panic! at the Disco In: American Valley, and the documentary feature based on the tour, All in a Day's''.

''Pretty. Odd.'' touring was also defined by a larger effort to remain environmentally conscious. On the tour, the band worked with two non-profit eco organizations: Reverb, which facilitates environmentally friendly touring; and Global Inheritance, which seeks to inspire more eco-activism. In a 2008 interview, Ross revealed that the band began traveling on a biodiesel bus, re-using plastics, and recycling more backstage. The band went as far as to print tour booklets on recycled paper, with soy ink, and organize an "eco-contest", in which profits from the tour went straight to environmental organizations.

2009–2015: Lineup change, Vices & Virtues and Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!
In spring 2009, the band began recording material for its third studio album. However, on July 6, 2009, Ryan Ross and Jon Walker announced via the band's official website that the two were leaving the band. In an interview following the split, Ross explained that he first brought the idea to Smith in late June 2009 over lunch: "Spencer and I had lunch and caught up for a while, and then the big question came up, like, 'Well, what do you want to do?' and I said, 'Well, I think it might be best if we kind of do our own thing for a while,' and he said, 'I'm glad you said that, because I was going to say the same thing,'" Ross recalled. "And there was really no argument, which is really the best way that could've worked out." Ross said the split was largely due to creative differences between him and Urie. Urie wanted the band to explore a more polished pop sound, while Ross – and, by extension, Walker – was interested in making retro-inspired rock. Walker and Ross went on to form The Young Veins, which only released one album, Take a Vacation!.

The news asserted that both tour plans with Blink-182 in August 2009 and new album production "will continue as previously announced." The following day, Alternative Press broke the news that "New Perspective", the first song recorded without Ross and Walker, would debut the following month on radio and as a part of the soundtrack to the film Jennifer's Body. On July 10, 2009, Alternative Press also reported that the band had regained the exclamation point, becoming, once again, Panic! at the Disco. "New Perspective" was released on July 28, 2009. Former guitarist of pop rock band the Cab, Ian Crawford and Dallon Weekes, frontman of indie rock band the Brobecks, filled in for Ross and Walker on tour during the Blink-182 Summer Tour in August 2009.

The band re-entered the studio in early 2010 and spent much of the year recording the group's third studio album. During this time, touring bassist Dallon Weekes joined the band's official lineup along with Urie and Smith, making the band a three-piece. Although Weekes did not perform on the upcoming album, he was responsible for the conceptualization of the album's cover art and was also featured on the album cover, masked and standing in the background behind Smith and Urie. On January 18, 2011, the band revealed that an album titled Vices & Virtues would officially be released on March 22, 2011. The album was produced by Butch Walker and John Feldmann. The record's first single, "The Ballad of Mona Lisa", was released digitally on February 1, 2011, with the music video being released February 8, 2011. Vices & Virtues was officially released on March 22, 2011, to relatively positive critical reviews.

The band began touring in support of the album, christened the Vices & Virtues Tour, in earnest beginning in February 2011. The tour has sported the same electric, over-the-top theatricality the band was known for during the Fever era. "I really miss wearing costumes and makeup," Urie told Spin. "I love throwing a big production. I've recently been reading about Tesla coils and I'm trying to figure out how I can get one that sits on the stage and shoots sparks without hurting anybody." The group was scheduled to play the Australian Soundwave Revolution festival in September/October but the festival was canceled. The band performed at the Counter-Revolution mini-festival, the festival that took its place.

On May 12, 2011, the band collaborated with indie pop band Fun. and the two groups embarked on an American tour, releasing a single together titled "C'mon". Panic! at the Disco contributed a new song, "Mercenary", to the soundtrack for the video game Batman: Arkham City. After the Vices & Virtues tour cycle, Urie, Smith, and Weekes began writing and preparing for a fourth album. During the recording of the album, touring guitarist Ian Crawford, who joined the band in 2009 after the departure of Ryan Ross and Jon Walker, left the band citing his desire to make "real, genuine" music. On July 15, 2013, the album was announced as Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!, with a scheduled release date of October 8, 2013. The first single, "Miss Jackson", was released on July 15, 2013, along with its music video to promote the album. Panic! at the Disco opened for Fall Out Boy on the Save Rock And Roll Arena Tour.

Shortly before the band began its first tour in support of the album, Smith wrote an open letter to fans regarding his abuse of alcohol and prescription medications since the recording of ''Pretty. Odd.'' Although Smith joined the band for the first handful of dates, he left the tour to "continue fighting addiction." Urie posted on the band's official website on August 7, 2013, that "It's become evident that Spencer still needs more time to take care of himself. I can't expect him to be fighting addiction one minute and be fully immersed in a national tour the next. With that said, the tour will continue without Spencer while he is away getting the help he needs." With Spencer's leave of absence, Dan Pawlovich of the band Valencia filled in on tour.

In an interview with Pure Fresh on September 23, 2014, Urie stated that he had already thought about ideas on the fifth studio album; however, he was not sure if it would be a Panic! at the Disco album, or a solo album. Urie also stated there were no plans for Smith to return to the band.

2015–2021: Transition to solo project, Death of a Bachelor and Pray for the Wicked
On April 2, 2015, Smith announced that he had officially left the band. That same month, Urie revealed in an interview with Kerrang! that he was working on new material for the band's fifth studio album.

On April 20, 2015, Urie released "Hallelujah" as a single without any previous formal announcements. It debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 40, the band's second highest ever after "I Write Sins Not Tragedies". The band performed at the KROQ Weenie Roast on May 16, 2015. On September 1, 2015, another song from the fifth studio album, "Death of a Bachelor", premiered on an Apple Music broadcast hosted by Pete Wentz. The second single, "Victorious" was released at the end of the month. On October 22, 2015, through the band's official Facebook page, Urie announced the new album as Death of a Bachelor with a scheduled release date of January 15, 2016. It is the first album written and composed by Urie with a team of writers, as the status of Weekes was announced to have changed from an official member to that of a touring musician once again. Weekes' status was rumored during the promotion of Death of a Bachelor that he was no longer an official member. The third single "Emperor's New Clothes" was released on the same day, along with the official music video. "LA Devotee" was released November 26 as a promotional single. On December 31, 2015, the band released "Don't Threaten Me with a Good Time". The band co-headlined the Weezer & Panic! at the Disco Summer Tour 2016 with Weezer from June to August 2016. The band released a cover of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" in August 2016, on the Suicide Squad soundtrack album.

On September 22, 2016, the band released the music video for "LA Devotee". With the release came the announcement of the Death of a Bachelor Tour in 2017. MisterWives and Saint Motel were announced as the opening acts. In a December 2016 interview, Urie said that he hoped to make a music video for every song on the album Death of a Bachelor.

On December 15, 2017, the band released their fourth live album All My Friends We're Glorious: Death of a Bachelor Tour Live. It was released as a limited-edition double-vinyl and digital download. Five days later, the band released a non-album Christmas song titled "Feels Like Christmas". On December 27, bassist Dallon Weekes officially announced his departure from Panic! at the Disco after over eight years of performing in the band, subsequently shifting his focus as the frontman of the band I Dont Know How But They Found Me. On March 19, 2018, the band played a surprise show in Cleveland, Ohio with new touring bassist, Nicole Row. On March 21, 2018, the band released two new songs "Say Amen (Saturday Night)" and "(Fuck A) Silver Lining". At the same time, the band also announced the Pray for the Wicked Tour and a new album called Pray for the Wicked.

On June 7, 2018, the band performed at the fountains at the Bellagio prior to game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals. The performance is said to have had sentimental value to the band as they took to the stage in their hometown. The band also performed as a headliner at the Reading and Leeds Festival 2018 which lasted over the weekend from August 24 to 26, 2018. On August 27, 2018, the band dropped the music video for the single "High Hopes". In fall of 2018, High Hopes became the highest placing single from the band, becoming number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.

On September 22, 2018, the band announced that longtime touring guitarist Kenneth Harris would be dismissed following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct involving underage fans. Harris' replacement was announced to be former Sparks the Rescue guitarist Mike Naran on October 6, 2018.

The band's version of the song "Into the Unknown" is featured on the soundtrack to the 2019 film Frozen II and in the end credits. The song appears in the film as performed by Idina Menzel.

2022–2023: Viva Las Vengeance and disbandment
In May 2019, Urie revealed in an interview with Billboard that he began working on ideas for another Panic! at the Disco album, saying "I thought I would take a little more time off and I'm already starting music. Not with anything planned in mind, but just working on some ideas. I can't help myself so I don't think it'll be too long before another Panic! record."

On May 14, 2022, the band set up a website called "Shut Up and Go to Bed" to tease new music. On May 29, it was announced that Panic would be returning with a new single called "Viva Las Vengeance" on June 1, alongside hints of future material. With the release of the music video, it was announced that Panic's seventh album would also be titled Viva Las Vengeance with a release date of August 19, and future tour dates in fall 2022. On July 20, 2022, the second single "Middle Of A Breakup" was released. On August 5, 2022, the third single "Local God" was released. On August 16, 2022, the fourth single "Don't Let the Light Go Out" was released. On the same day as the album release, a music video for the song "Sad Clown" was released. On November 15, 2022, it was announced that the Chicago show from the Viva Las Vengeance Tour would be streamed as a digital concert on December 7 and 8, 2022, under the name ''Everybody Needs a Place to Go: An Evening with Panic! at the Disco''. On October 28, 2022, the band re-released their 2016 song "House of Memories" along with its slowed-down and sped-up versions, after the song went viral on TikTok.

On January 24, 2023, Urie revealed that he and his wife were expecting a child together, and that he would be discontinuing Panic! at the Disco in order to focus on his family, following the conclusion of the Viva Las Vengeance Tour on March 10 in Manchester, England.

Talk:Bill Haley & His Comets

Spanish twist label shot ??? :-)
Takes me just a few minutes to add it. Stephan KŒNIG 13:10, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * If you have a scan of the label, please go ahead. 23skidoo 15:36, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Capital letters...
...I think it's better to write, seeing you wrote the others with them, the others too :-)  I just corrected some mispellings and incomplete titles  :-). See you later, alligator! Stephan KŒNIG 17:24, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I made some corrections. The word "and" is not capitalized in a title unless it's the first or last word. Also it's "Bill Haley with Haley's Comets" not "Bill Haley's" with Haley's Comets. I removed the label name information as that's not really necessary for this part of the list. Also at no time in his life did Rudy Pompilli ever use the spelling Rudi on his first name. 23skidoo 18:13, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

 * "Bill Haley with Haley's: quite perfect: it was mistyped by myself :-)
 * "not really necessary": ok, no problem
 * I'm sure all the words must be capitalized... Stephan KŒNIG 11:53, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm a newspaper and book editor. Trust me, not all words are capitalized in English titles. 23skidoo 14:45, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, no problem, my dear :-) but in French it is so/like that :-)  Stephan KŒNIG 18:28, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Rock the joint / New rock the joint
I told you a few days ago this song firstly appeared as "Rock..." then issued in stereo as "New rock..." on a DECCA E.P.: want to get the reference? :-)  Stephan KŒNIG 17:25, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I just spoke to a friend who has the original MONO single: it was released as "New Rock the Joint". 23skidoo 12:44, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The mono version was only called "Rock the joint", then renamed as New rock the joint for the stereo version only! I'm sure your friend has no good ears :-)
 * planned concerts such as a fall 1980 tour of Germany, and proposed recording sessions in New York and Memphis were cancelled: Bill was signed again for a new concert in Liège in 1980 but died not long before... Stephan KŒNIG

My friend Terry and I have very good ears, indeed. S.K.

Rudy Pompilli
At no time did Rudy Pompilli ever use the spelling "Rudi" for his first name. (???)23skidoo 12:48, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Do you think so?
 * No one knew about that fact: "R U D O L P H" "P O M P I L L I I" americanized his first name in "Rudy" (and written a little bit before as "Rudi" (DECCA Session 22nd.09.1955) OK? :-)"Rudi" was taken from the Bear Family annotations on the booklet (Decca Sessions, Sept. 22, 1955 then the used spelling of the Decca Sessions on March 12, 1956 was "Rudy") inside the 5 LP box set issued in 1981. Anyway, the ypsilon did not/still doesn't exist in Italian and the "X" and the "W" as well...

and the latter was only a mispelling!!! Stephan KŒNIG
 * No, he was born Rudolph Clement Pompilii and Haley asked him to change the spelling to Pompilli because it would look like a printer's error. He was never known as "Rudi". Please see "The Sax That Rocked the World" by Chris Gardner (Now Dig This Issue 275, February 2006). 23skidoo 16:59, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry: I saw something like POMPI|||| (characters were too small). Therefore, no problem as POMPILII then re-written as POMPILLI which was based on a Bill's advice... 81.246.205.39 09:12, 29 May 2006 (UTC) (S.K.)

 * Chris Gardner??? : a website full of mispellings (or mistypings???) "Stocking" instead of "Stockin'", I'm gonna dry every tear...instead of ev'ry, Ten gallon Stetson (With a hole in the crown): completely fanciful title!!! and so on...Deal me a hand I play the game anyway???

Stephan KŒNIG 18:07, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Chris Gardner has responded to your comments at Talk:Bill Haley. Please don't try to convince me that Pompilli's first name was spelled anything other than Rudy or Rudolph. I've seen his funeral notice and Chris got his spelling directly from Rudy's birth certificate. So there is confirmation from both ends of the man's life. 23skidoo 22:04, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep this up and I'll ban you again. Say what you like I have the proof from Pompilli's family. Try to find a source that tops that one. Any use of Rudi is an error. Prove me wrong. 23skidoo 23:05, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Bear Family annotations in the 5 LP box-set...(1981) Pfffff.

Bill Haley in Mexico
The Whisky a go go LP was released under the name Bill Haley and His Comets (Mr. Go Go/live) then issued in the UK on EMBER in 1969. Not 1968!!!
 * However, it's very strange. The (C) on that LP was 1969 but issued earlier in June 1968. I'm still holding that LP like a true Haley fan. Surfrider1962 (talk) 15:50, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Big Al Thompson = ...
a.k.a. Albert Scholz...S.K. (always the same nunskull) :-) who was related as the brother of Hank Thompson but the latter was NOT the singer of Honky Tonk Angels...

Twist español and Spanish twist...
The original version sung in Spanish was released in May 1961 and the English one in September 1961...as a "favor to the Organization" (sic). 81.244.186.196 21:15, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know about the favor bit, but you're correct that I have the recording order backwards. Will fix. 23skidoo 21:33, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Anyway, I am quite sure! No filthy garbage, my dear. By request of mafioso Vito Genovese. Bill was completely unable to pay the maffia back (IRS on his back for 140.000 USD. At a certain time, Franny Beecher quits the band without to have been paid. Then Billy Williamson, in his turn, throws in the sponge... Stephan KŒNIG 12:10, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I know Haley got himself involved with the Mob in the early 60s, but unfortunately something like this needs a reputable source in order to be included in the article. Interesting stuff, though. 23skidoo 15:29, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

DIM and Maya labels
What about Spanish labels DIM and Maya ??? Stephan KŒNIG 20:04, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * DIM is Dimsa, while Maya was a reissue label. Haley never actually recorded for either; they just re-released recordings made for Orfeon (and also Decca and Sonet). If we were to list all the re-issue labels, there would be hundreds. 23skidoo 13:16, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Seeking confirmation that John Lane has died
If anyone with this on their watchlist has heard any news reports that John "Bam-Bam" Lane died on Feb. 18 (he ran one of the post-Haley editions of the Comets), please note it here. I'm seeking confirmation of this news before I put it into the article. 23skidoo 19:54, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Bill Haley live @ the Conservatory, LIège 14th May 1974
Would you like to get both photos again ? Tell me. S.K.

Album articles need images
Noting that Elvis, Chuck Berry and other contemporaries have articles about their individual record albums, I have started a series of articles on the album releases by the Comets. These articles need album cover images. I no longer submit images to Wikipedia, so someone else will need to do this. Please ensure any images are probably cited for fair use otherwise they'll just get deleted. 23skidoo 16:46, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Amazon review as source
As I understand WP:CITE, non-professoinal online sources such as the IMDb and Amazon reviews are not allowed as sources for citing facts in an article. In particular, I have removed a statement, sourced by an Amazon review, that stated that Freed and others began playing Rock Around the Clock because of the success of Shake Rattle and Roll and Dim Dim the Lights. None of my printed reference works nor my direct contacts related to Haley (yeah, yeah, WP:NOR) support this. The interest in Rock Around the Clock, as indicated in the new Rock n' Roll is Born documentary, came from Blackboard Jungle using it. Before that, it was seen as a failed single no different than, say, Haley's earlier failed single "Straight Jacket". 23skidoo (talk) 12:19, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Improvement
I think the add of Bill Haley's ultimate LP released by Sonet on its budget label EUROPA, Germany, 1980 is a good one. This vinyl LP is practically unknown but I can tell everyone I bought it in March 1981 along with the 1979 Sonet other LP. I don't know if it was only issued in Germany. No traces in other countries. Surfrider1962 (talk) 16:04, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but I disagree and have removed it. The list is not intended for compilations -- otherwise there would be hundreds of titles listed -- unless said compilations include previously unreleased recordings. The Europa release would have no new Haley material because Bill Haley made no recordings in 1978 (which was after he had retired and before he returned to touring and recording in 1979) and 1980, when except for a tour of South Africa he was mostly in and out of hospital because of his illness. The fact there may be other recordings by others doesn't count because this list is supposed to be for Bill Haley & The Comets, not other artists. Wikipedia has a tendency to frown upon these kinds of lists, so we need to be very strict as to the criteria, otherwise someone could come along and in good faith remove the lot.23skidoo (talk) 14:05, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The question is: where these Sonet budget label EUROPA songs are from? A few months ago, Klaus Kettner (owner of Hydra Records) told me the songs were coming from Dave Miller's catalogue. Anyway, all the songs cut by Haley are new versions. I've never heard them on any other LPs...
 * The Air Mail: the said LP "RATC" includes 4 instr. tracks without Haley playing on them. (info from Klaus). Surfrider1962 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 13:19, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

UK 1979
To add further information of the 1979 UK dates. I played guitar and vocals in his Cambridge UK date back then as support to a successful show as Flash Dave and the Thunderbolts. The venue was the Kelsey Kerridge Sports Hall Cambridge UK( 5000 seats) on November 24th 1979. I have posters and press cuttings to support this. Musictada (talk) 19:39, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Discography
The discography is terribly cluttered, confusing, and needs an overhaul. There is a section for single releases, which is nice and neat, but it has no dates and chart positions. The chart position section is miserable. They should combined, or at least fixed. Cashbox seems unnecessary, and the dates are for charting and not release. This discography is one of the worst on wikipedia. 24.0.60.105 (talk) 09:15, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Rock Around the Clock Scandal
I removed the following:

Rock Around The Clock Scandal
At one point when Bill Haley & His Comets were performing Rock Around the Clock live an incident occurred when a bunch of fans started going crazy and even going up on stage and throwing a bunch of instruments around. This was because Rock Around the Clock was supposed to be about the World Ending which a lot of people in the newer generation didn't realize. During the incident Bill Haley jumped off stage and ran off. The Rock Around the Clock Scandal is one of The Top 100 Music Scandals in music history.

I have read quite a bit of the history of rock and roll and I have never heard of this. I also did a Google search on "Rock Around Clock Scandal" with no results. Alex20850 (talk) 01:43, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Move to Bill Haley and his Comets?
With a lowercase H for "his". In common with logic (cf. "and the Comets") and several record sleeves, not to mention the "IN PERSON" ad pictured in the article. Rothorpe (talk) 19:44, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree that the article should use "and", but "His" should still be capitalized, per correct capitalization rules. Hence the correct article title is Bill Haley and His Comets. 24.149.45.52 (talk) 03:35, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Satigny

Satigny is a municipality of the Canton of Geneva, Switzerland. It is the largest municipality of the canton by land area and the largest wine-producing municipality of the country. Its territory contains the majority of the Mandement area, a designated heritage site of national importance shared with the neighbouring municipalities of Russin and Dardagny.

Etymology
Satigny is first mentioned in 91 as villam Satiniatis, though this comes from a 12th Century copy of the earlier document. In around 1128 it was mentioned as de Satiniaco and in 1280 as Satignie. The name very likely origins in Gallo-Roman in reference of local Roman owners.

The etymology of Peney on the other hand is different and subject to different interpretations. The first one is that it could come from the Latin "pinetum", which stands for "forest of pine trees", but it could also come from the Celtic roots of "pen" (extremity) and "nec" (height).

Bourdigny's name, for its part, also has a different origin, from the German-language Burgundians and the root is a surname such as "Bürdin", which later became "Burdignus" with the romanisation of region.

Finally, Montfleury's name is more anecdotal. This old grouping of houses without a particular denomination was first called "The Shacks". It was only in 1829 that, to oblige to the demand of its inhabitants, the hamlet changed its official name to "Montfleury".

Coat-of-arms
Gules with a silver double-bladed key, alongside a sun to and a golden crescent.

This coat of arms was adopted by the municipality on 8 September 1924 and approved by the cantonal executive government on 26 September 1924. The municipality of Satigny, which corresponds to the old Mandement de Peney (see history), was owned by the bishop, and since 1536 by the Republic of Geneva, and it was the prime example of old Genevan countryside.

The coat of arms are derived from the seal of the prior of Satigny from 1340: this seal represents a hand holding a double-bladed key with a sun and a golden crescent. Satigny removed the hand, and gave to the shield the cantonal and federal colours: red shield and white key for the colours of the Swiss confederation, and the red shield and golden sun and crescent for the colours of the Republic and Canton of Geneva.

History
In its origins, Satigny fell under the jurisdiction of Saint-Pierre-aux-Liens, a dependency of the abbot of Ainay in Lyon, which grew rapidly with lands granted to it mainly by the lords of Gex. When the territory of the municipality formed part of the Peney castellany, the town had a priory devoted to St Peter. A chart from 912, the oldest surviving authentic document of Geneva's history, notifies the donation by Eldegarde, probably a countess, of part of the assets inherited from her husband to the monastery of St Peter. However, she reserved for herself the usufruct of the lands located in Satigny, Choully, Peissy, Challex, Crest, Logras, and Feigères, and she asked the bishop of Geneva to ensure that her donation was well executed.

In 1134 the bishop denounced the violation of the canonical rules and obtained by arbitrage from the archbishop of Vienna the priory of Satigny. The main town would develop around the convent and, in 1305, its inhabitants and those of the neighbouring hamlets created a community. The castle of Peney-Dessus, flanked by a fortified village, was the headquarters of the Peney castellany, also called land of Mortier.

In 1282, a monk of Satigny, in love with Léonette de Joinville, slipped disguised as a woman into the apartment of the wife of the lord of Gex. When she discovered him, she made him undress and be beaten by her people. Simon de Joinville turned this into a pretext to claim the rights of the Peney castellany, its castle, Saint-Gervais, and the bridge over the Rhône river. The bishop responded by reminding to Simon that he had forgot to pay his tribute and he requested a compensation. In the face of the growing power of the bishop, the lord of Gex renounced to his claims and he submitted to the demands of the bishop.

Built, or-rebuilt around 1230 by the bishop Aymon of Grandson, the castle of Peney was besieged and conquered in 1287 by Amadeus V, Count of Savoy. Recovered in 1305 by the bishop, the castle fell again between 1349 and 1355 to the hands of the count of Geneva. In the 14th century, the loosening of the morals at the priory led the bishop to intervene and to begin to directly administer the convent by his chapter. Its revenues contributed to the upkeep of the cathedral to the detriment of the monastery. The monks became economical by necessity and, in 1381, a papal bull from Clement VII merged the priory of Satigny with the Geneva chapter.

In 1512, in the face of the extreme poverty of the monks (they even lacked priestly robes), the Pope Julius II transformed the priory into a parish. In 1534, Geneva was shaken by the fights of the Reformation. The partisans of Catholicism fled the city and took refuge in the castle of Peney, from which they launched attacks against the Republic, pillaging and robbing the region. They are called the “Peneysans”. The Bernese troops took over the castle on 5 February 1536 and finally demolished it.

The town of Bourdigny, which belonged to the lords of Gex, joined the municipality in 1749 with the treaty of Paris. After the reformation, the region of the Mandement, comprising Peissy, Satigny, Choully, Peney, Bourdigny, and Dardagny, would remain territories administered by the secular authorities of the Republic of Geneva, cut-off from the city by French territory. The lands would finally geographically linked to Geneva with the Congress of Vienna in 1815 and with the Treaty of Turin in 1816, which granted several towns to the new canton from France and Savoy in order to create geographical continuity, amongst which the towns Aire-la-Ville, Meyrin, Vernier, and Bernex, that now border Satigny. Peney and its castle used to belong to the municipality of Russin and they only joined Satigny in 1817.

Geography
According to the Swiss federal statistics office, Satigny measures 18,92 km2, which makes it the largest municipality of the canton of Geneva by geographical size.

Due to its considerable geographical size, the municipality includes many subdivisions: the neighbourhoods of Satigny-Dessous, Satigny-Dessus, as well as the hamlets of Bourdigny, Peney (Dessous and Dessus), Choully, Montfleury, and Peissy. It also includes the large industrial areas of ZIMEYSA and Bois-de-Bay. It forms part of the Mandement (an old term for castellany, referring to the castellany of Peney), and it borders the Swiss municipalities of Meyrin and Vernier to the East; Bernex, and Aire-la-Ville, to its south, separated from Satigny by the Rhône river; Russin, and Dardagny to the west. France is located to the north-west of the municipality, separated from Satigny by the Allondon river and the stream of the Nant de l'Ecra.

The municipality is bordered by the CERN to its north-east, which together with the ZIMEYSA industrial area at the east of the municipality marks the transition from countryside to the urban landscape formed by Meyrin and Vernier which surround the city of Geneva.

The Jura mountains define the outline of the landscape in the background. The Salève, the Lake Geneva, as well as the French Alps are also visible in the distance to the east and south-east of the town.

Satigny, like other towns in the periphery of Geneva, plays as role as a "green belt" and incarnates the bucolic image of vineyard-dominated countryside-landscape for the local urban inhabitants, mixing large wooded areas, hilly landscapes, and vineyards. Indeed, with 460 hectares of vineyards, Satigny concentrates one-third of the 1,410 hectares of vineyards in the canton of Geneva, which makes it not only Geneva's largest wine-making town but also Switzerland's.

Although some pedestrian crossings still exist on the route of Bourdigny and Moulin Fabry, after the closure of the small custom offices in 1993, the Franco-Swiss border is not crossed by any road in Satigny. This, coupled with the border created by the Allondon, and the 4-lane D-884 road on the French side, has separated the town from the French territory and there are very few relations between both sides.

Demographics
Satigny has a population of .. Most of the population speaks French (2,208 or 79.3%), with German being second most common (137 or 4.9%) and English being third (125 or 4.5%). There are 62 people who speak Italian and 2 people who speak Romansh.

The historical population is given in the following chart: The development of Satigny was very stable until the 1950s. During the 60s-80s, there was some light growth, driven mainly by the construction of houses in the neighbourhood of Pré-Gentil. But the major development of the town occurred from the 90s onwards. Of all the buildings, 25% were built before 1919, 30% from 1919 to 1980, and the remaining 47% after 1980.

The size of the housing is on the average for the rural towns (113 sqm), but a lot larger than in neighbouring urban Meyrin (80 sqm) and Vernier (77 sqm). On average there are 2.72 inhabitants per residence. In 2016, Satigny had 663 buildings, of which 49.6% were separate houses. However, this percentage is expected to keep falling as new developments are built, such as Les Celliers (77 apartments), Champ-Magnin (around 30 apartments), Pré-Gentil (80 apartments), or the Pôle Satigny-Gare (80 apartments).

From the, 1,075 or 38.6% were Roman Catholic, while 735 or 26.4% belonged to the Swiss Reformed Church. Of the rest of the population, there were 12 members of an Orthodox church (or about 0.43% of the population), there were 7 individuals (or about 0.25% of the population) who belonged to the Christian Catholic Church, and there were 72 individuals (or about 2.59% of the population) who belonged to another Christian church. There were 4 individuals (or about 0.14% of the population) who were Jewish, and 16 (or about 0.57% of the population) who were Islamic. There were 17 individuals who were Buddhist, 2 individuals who were Hindu and 4 individuals who belonged to another church. 617 (or about 22.15% of the population) belonged to no church, are agnostic or atheist, and 224 individuals (or about 8.04% of the population) did not answer the question.

Economy
As of 2019, there were 8,698 workers employed in the municipality, which compares with the 4,109 residents that Satigny had on the same year. Of those, 4,365 were employed in the secondary sector; 4,132 in the tertiary sector, and 201 in the primary sector. In the latest available statistic on commuting patterns from 2000, there were 7,090 workers who commuted into the municipality and 1,056 workers who commuted away, and only the city of Geneva as a higher ratio of commuters into/out of the town. About 27.7% of the workforce coming into Satigny were coming from outside Switzerland, while 0.2% of the locals commute out of Switzerland for work. Of the working population, 13.5% used public transportation to get to work, and 66.6% used a private car.

The main reason for the economic attractiveness of the municipality are its industrial areas of which it counts three: Bois-de-Bay "ZIBAY", la Tuilière "ZITUIL", and the Zone Industrielle Meyrin-Satigny "ZIMEYSA". The latter is the largest industrial area of the canton of Geneva, and together with the section in Vernier, it has a total of 15,000 jobs distributed between the municipalities of Satigny, Meyrin, and Vernier. In addition to being served by its own train stop, accessible from Satigny in 2 minutes and from Geneva in 11 minutes, several companies in Satigny's side of ZIMEYSA have direct railroad access, such as Feldschlösschen. Some of the largest companies located in Satigny are Firmenich, the world's largest privately owned company in the manufacture of fragrances and flavours and number two worldwide in the field; Hitachi Energy (ex-ABB Sécheron) which specialises in electrical engineering, including the manufacture of transformers that equip half the trains running in Europe; the DeWitt luxury watchmaking company; MCI Group, a large global event, association management and congress management company; Sécheron Traction Power, the world's leading supplier of electrical equipment for DC traction substations for the global rail industry; HelvéCie, the largest bus and coach company of French-speaking Switzerland; GVA MONTRES, a manufacturer of watch components; or foreign subsidiaries such as Fnac Suisse, a large media retailer.

ZIBAY is entirely in Satigny and, in 2017, had 1,700 workers. The area specialises in companies dedicated to recycling and construction. In addition, it hosts the SIG's Bois-de-Bay water treatment plant, one of the largest in the country.

In addition to industrial areas, the municipality is also the largest wine-producing town of the Canton of Geneva and of Switzerland: 80% of Geneva's wine is produced in the town, and it is home to "La Cave de Genève", by far the largest wine-making cooperative of the canton. Several different types of wine are produced in the town, the largest of which are Gamay, Pinot Noir, Chasselas and Gamaret.

Transportation
Rail provides the most important means of public transport of the municipality towards the rest of the canton and Geneva's city centre. Satigny is connected to the Léman Express rail network with its own station in the centre of Satigny-village. Two lines service the town: the L6 Genève-Bellegarde, and the L5 Genève-La Plaine. Services are frequent (up to 1 train every 15 minutes), and fast: it only takes 13 minutes to reach Geneva's main train station in Cornavin. In addition, the industrial area of ZIMEYSA has its own station bearing the same name, serving commuters of the industries and offices there located.

The TPG, Geneva's public transport operator, operates secondary bus lines within the municipality. The main one is line 72, which connects the hamlets of Bourdigny, Choully, and Peissy to Satigny-village and its train station. Another important line is the number 73 which connects Satigny-village to Peney, the industrial area of Bois-de-Bay, the small industrial area of La Tuillière, Vernier and the ZIMEYSA. Finally, two more lines, the 70 and 71, connect the town to two tram lines, in Meyrin (71) and Bernex (70), the latter via Aire-la-Ville (that town's only means of public transport).

All means of public transport operate under the unireso network, so a single ticket is valid for the train and buses and all other connections.

Geneva's airport is close to Satigny and it only takes a 10 minutes drive to reach it by car. By means of public transport, it is usually accessed by train with a change in Vernier and a bus from there, which takes around 25 minutes.

The main connecting road of the municipality is the route du Mandement, which connects the D-884 in France to Meyrin via Dardagny, Russin, and Satigny. The A1 motorway connecting Geneva to the rest of Switzerland and to France passes underneath Vernier, close to border with Satigny. At the moment, there are no direct exits to Satigny, the closest exits being located in Vernier/Meyrin and Bernex. However, an existing project in advanced planning stages, the "barreau routier de Montfleury", whose construction was originally planned to start in 2020, will create a direct connection to the A1 in direction to Bernex and France from La Tuillière and ZIMEYSA industrial areas. This project aims to remove from local roads much of the road traffic to and from the three industrial areas of the town. Discussions are underway to modify the original plan to include a connection in direction to Switzerland as well.

Politics
In the 2007 federal election the most popular party was the SVP which received 20.63% of the vote. The next three most popular parties were the Green Party (16.52%), the FDP (16.37%) and the LPS Party (15.09%). In the federal election, a total of 894 votes were cast, and the voter turnout was 52.7%.

In the 2009 Grand Conseil election, there were a total of 1,833 registered voters of which 806 (44.0%) voted. The most popular party in the municipality for this election was the Les Radicaux with 17.6% of the ballots. In the canton-wide election they received the sixth highest proportion of votes. The second most popular party was the Les Verts (with 17.3%), they were also second in the canton-wide election, while the third most popular party was the Libéral (with 14.8%), they were first in the canton-wide election.

For the 2009 Conseil d'Etat election, there were a total of 1,832 registered voters of which 996 (54.4%) voted.

In 2011, all the municipalities held local elections, and in Satigny there were 19 spots open on the municipal council. There were a total of 2,381 registered voters of which 1,172 (49.2%) voted. Out of the 1,172 votes, there were 11 blank votes, 10 null or unreadable votes and 169 votes with a name that was not on the list.

Education
In Satigny about 857 or (30.8%) of the population have completed non-mandatory upper secondary education, and 608 or (21.8%) have completed additional higher education (either university or a Fachhochschule). Of the 608 who completed tertiary schooling, 40.6% were Swiss men, 28.6% were Swiss women, 17.8% were non-Swiss men and 13.0% were non-Swiss women.

During the 2009–2010 school year there were a total of 763 students in the Satigny school system. The education system in the Canton of Geneva allows young children to attend two years of non-obligatory Kindergarten. During that school year, there were 95 children who were in a pre-kindergarten class. The canton's school system provides two years of non-mandatory kindergarten and requires students to attend six years of primary school, with some of the children attending smaller, specialized classes. In Satigny there were 93 students in kindergarten or primary school and 10 students were in the special, smaller classes. The secondary school program consists of three lower, obligatory years of schooling, followed by three to five years of optional, advanced schools. There were 93 lower secondary students who attended school in Satigny. There were 143 upper secondary students from the municipality along with 21 students who were in a professional, non-university track program. An additional 43 students attended a private school.

, there were 7 students in Satigny who came from another municipality, while 261 residents attended schools outside the municipality.

Such proxies are shared among a huge number of users compared to the number of persons using your particular machine. If you are frustrated by irrelevant comments appearing here, you can avoid them by creating an account for yourself.

However, you might still be unable to edit Wikipedia if the IP you are using is blocked due to a MediaWiki "feature". In such a case you could request to be unblocked.

In the event of vandalism from this address, efforts will be made to contact Southern Utah University to report network abuse.
