Fernando Veneranda | Short description | Fernando Veneranda (23 May 1941 – 1 March 2007 in Porto San Giorgio) was an Italian football (soccer) player and manager. |
Fernando Veneranda | Playing career | Playing career
Veneranda, a forward, started his professional career for Fiorentina, where he played from 1960 to 1963. He never played a single Serie A match, but appeared in a Cup Winners' Cup match, as well as in the Coppa Italia and Mitropa Cup. He owns the record of being the Fiorentina players with the highest number of appearances without having ever played a league match. He then played for a number of Serie A, B and C clubs. Veneranda ended his playing career in 1973 for Matera, and soon became manager of the same club. |
Fernando Veneranda | Managing career | Managing career
After his time at Matera, Veneranda moved to Campobasso, Marsala, and to Palermo, a former playing club of his, at the end of the 1976/1977 season. He is best remembered among Palermo fans for having led the Serie B club to its second Coppa Italia final in history, then lost 2–1 to giants Juventus. Despite this, Veneranda coached only a single Serie A team in his whole career, Avellino; he was called to coach the biancoverdi in October 1982 and obtained a good ninth place for the small club; he was fired after the tenth matchday of the next season. Veneranda retired from football in 1992, after he relegated to Serie C1 with Messina.
Veneranda died on 1 March 2007, aged 65, in his native city of Porto San Giorgio. |

While prowsing the autograph page controversy, I came across this user's page. The distracting talk page caught my attention and I decided to dig into their contributions (see Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Cremepuff222/contribs. This user has made only 83 main space edits, but over 1200 edits to their own user space. While there is nothing abhorrent here, it is a clear violation of WP:NOT#MYSPACE.
If any of these can be shown to be of value to the project, I will withdraw that part of the nomination. I purposefully left out a few that seemed productive. —dgiestc 01:38, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Addendum: Having seen the user understands the problem and has ed the more frivolous stuff, I am withdrawing nomination on a number which seem to fall within community standards for what is generally allowed in user space. I am keeping the nominations for a few pages:
User:Cremepuff222/Autograph Book (and related)- Has been widely spammed on talk pages
User:Cremepuff222/Gag - Disruptive
User:Cremepuff222/Signature - Transcluded onto talk pages, which is forbidden by WP:SIG#Transclusion_of_templates.
Keep for now. User has just been advised for the first time there is an issue, and is entitled to a reasonable time to address the concerns. Certainly the main userpage is unobjectionable and should be kept. There is also evidence (not set forth here for privacy reasons) that the user knows at least one more experienced Wikipedian, who can help him address these concerns (update, and this seems to be happening, see below). Newyorkbrad 01:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Sort them out some of those are just userboxes that have been moved out of template space and are perfectly fine. Many others are templates for the userspace and are also acceptable. We can't just delete everything because some pages violate various policies. I say speedy close this and then you pick the pages that actually are violations. Koweja 01:52, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
I support the comment of speedy closing this, there is a lot of pages here being nominated all at once. If any of them are actually worthy of being deleted then only those ones should be nominated. Mathmo Talk 03:10, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment - These are all similar to things we generally allow in userspace, but the creation and improvement of them seems to be the only reason this editor is a member of the project. For a productive editor I would not have made the nom, but it seems all he's here for is free web hosting. —dgiestc 02:04, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment I cannot cast an opinion in this discussion due to WP:CANVASS. I would like to point out, however, that I enjoyed having Cremepuff222 as an adoptee vis-a-vis his technical abilities. He has also been a diligent student in completing my assignments to adoptees. He is obviously a quick learner, or you wouldn't have had to sit here and look at his pages. I failed as an adopter, however, when I hesitated to discuss his Wikipedia activities with him. I hinted at him a few times, but it wasn't enough. I would thus like to propose the following remedies: let Cremepuff222 keep his pages for now, but if he does not start contributing to the articles, which is what we're here for ultimately, then ask him to move his pages over to Wikia.com. Xiner (talk, email) 02:17, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Despite spending the vast majority of time on his userspace he does edit outside of it. 83 edits is actually high for this type of nom - most only have 2 or 3. He's also been editing outside his space regularly. I say delete the games, puzzles, gag, and autograph book, but keep the rest. Koweja 02:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
The gag I'd say is ok, and the autograph book is ok so long as it is not being endlessly promoted. And then even if it is the way to deal with that should be by warning and then a block. Mathmo Talk 03:10, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep All. Most of these like fine, and I'm not going to bother looking through every single one of them to work out which ones really should be deleted (if any). Mathmo Talk 03:10, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
So you really think pages like this & this & this should be kept? Come on, better subpages have been deleted.... Spawn Man 03:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Read what I said again carefully, I said most not all are fine. And that there were too many listed to bother looking through them all to find ones that could be deleted. As it would seem you done. Plus I feel the best way to deal with this is to first ask the user, they might be quite willing to let the worst be deleted and hence completely avoid MfD entirely in the process. Mathmo Talk 04:26, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
I doubt this is the case. The editor is a younger user, & still has the concept that editing a bit more will allow him to keep 46 subpages. May I ask, in the most diplomatic way possible, why you voted keep all, if you haven't looked through all the links? If everyone couldn't be bothered reading all Xfd links, then we'd have a very crowded site... Spawn Man 04:37, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
I voted keep all partly because we shouldn't not support such careless nominations. By default we should send them back and then vote on them again when ones that actually need to be deleted come back. Lets presume for a moment that this is a young user, do we want to give them a bad experience and drive them away or show more kindness towards them so that in another year when they have more experience and maturity they will be a productive wikipedian. Mathmo Talk 07:45, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
I disagree with your assessment of "careless". I specifically included a large swath of inoffensive material because I didn't want to split hairs about which pages were only slightly a waste of resources and which ones were clearly a waste of resources. Nominating it all lays bare the scale of the problem. —dgiestc 07:53, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete selectively - Most of the users I know manage to keep their templates & other things on a couple of subpages. This user has 46!!!! Me thinks maybe a tad too much wouldn't you say? Most of the pages only have a single template on them. Others have complete unused nonsense such as User:Cremepuff222/Vandalism. If the editor in qustion had more mainspace edits instead of wasting them on talk pages, then I'd let him keep the pages. However, this user has not earned the right to keep this many, if any subpages on Wikipedia. He has hardly contributed to this site other than with the huge amount of space this is all taking up. Oviously the nom was a bit too bold in nominating the user's user page, but the rest have to be compressed. I think the user should be allowed a couple of subpages to place tempaltes & the such, but no more until he actually contributes to the 'pedia. He may choose what is to be deleted, or someone can choose for him. Whatever the case, the number of 46 needs to come down, way down. Spawn Man 03:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC) P.S. Many of the subpages can be merged - archive template on the actual talk page; user boxes on the user page or a single subpage, autograph book also on the user page etc etc. The suer could even hold any script or templates off site on a word doc...
Um, who are you to decide which users have rights and which don't? Exactly how many edits does a user need before we grace them with equality? How many pages do these types of users get? Also, the pages aren't taking up a huge amount of space - pages take up virtually no space, and even 30 or 40 pages isn't that much. Koweja 23:37, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
I would recommend that User:Cremepuff222 spend more time worrying about articles and less time worrying about his user page... that being said I think most of it should stay. A few of the worst ones like the puzzle page and vandalism should be deleted. Otherwise... there realy isn't anything wrong the the shear number of sub-pages. The problem is where the user dedicates his time. If creampuff had 2000 mainspace edits this MFD would have never been filed. Lets address the real issue. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 06:53, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep according to Xiner Solution. Or file seperately. Abeg92contribs 13:55, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep all I see no problem with the pages, his/her userpage does not seem to violate WP:USERPAGE and is perfectly suitable.Regards - Tellyaddict 16:28, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep all, but delete User:Cremepuff222/Vandalism, since that page was not created by Cremepuff222. >Kamope< Talk · Contribs 22:40, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep all Why does it matter how a user expresses themselves (unless it is vulgar, which this is not and equally not a violation of WP:USERPAGE) and the number of subpages they have?! ~Steptrip 01:37, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep all. There's no reason to delete any of this. It isn't disruptive, vulgar or offensive, and doesn't violate any specific provisions in WP:USERPAGE, as there's no official limit on how many user subpages one can have. Criticising the user's mainspace editcount, as the nominator does, is tantamount to a personal attack, and doesn't constitute an argument for deletion. Also see my comments at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Walter Humala, a similarly pointless nomination. Walton Vivat Regina! 20:43, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Strong Delete - I think this is where consensus should step in, rather than voting: the argument against these signature books, etc.., are much greater than for it. Most of the !votes for keeping the latest-trend guestbooks, fake messages box, etc.. is mostly made by the same type of user who has one of their own, and creates a circle of links and "I'd be honoured if you signed my sig book" comments, rather than an upstanding and long-standing contributor to beneficial projects and collaborations, rather than a pretty collection of WP:SIG-violating comments and invitations to continue the circle of non-encyclopedic/WP:NOT#MYSPACE-violating Wikipedia pages. anthonycfc [talk] 01:13, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Mostly resolved, and follow overall policy for remaining items. Most of the issues seem to have been resolved by the comments above, deletion of some of the objectionable pages, and withdrawal of the nomination for some others. The remaining pages can be governed by overall policy, e.g. there is an MfD on all autograph pages right now, so I believe continuing this MfD for this specific user's one is not needed.

Saigon Central Post Office | Short description | The Saigon Central Post Office (, ), is a post office in downtown Ho Chi Minh City, near Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica, the city's cathedral. |
Saigon Central Post Office | History | History
thumb|Saigon Central Post Office in 1895
The building was constructed when Vietnam was part of French Indochina in the late 19th century. It counts with Gothic, Renaissance and French influences. It was constructed between 1886 and 1891 and is now a tourist attraction.
It was designed by Alfred Foulhoux, but is often erroneously credited as being the work of Gustave Eiffel or a collaboration between Foulhoux and Hanoi-based Auguste Henri Vildieu. As translated by the historian Tim Doling, the journal Architecte constructeur: Revue du monde architectural et artistique of 15 September 1891 commented: “The inauguration the new Saigon Post Office, which was held on July 14, had been postponed until the return of the Governor General. This monument, adorned with a most artistic façade, is particularly well laid out and well equipped for the different services to which it is intended; it does the greatest honour to the skill and talent of the distinguished Chief Architect of the Colony, M. Foulhoux.”
On the outside wall of the post office there are several plaques commemorating important scientists and engineers, who contributed to the development of the communication technologies of the time. These include Morse, Ampere, Volta, Ohm, and Faraday.thumb|center|Plaque commemorating Laplace
Inside the Saigon Central Post office of special note are two painted maps that were created just after the post office was built, the first one located on the left side of the building is a map of Southern Vietnam and Cambodia titled Lignes telegraphiques du Sud Vietnam et Cambodge 1892 ("Telegraphic lines of Southern Vietnam and Cambodia 1892").thumb|center|Map of South Vietnam and Cambodia showing telegraph lines
The second map of greater Saigon is titled Saigon et ses environs 1892 ("Saigon and its surroundings 1892").

Dương Văn Ngộ, known for being the last public letter writer in Vietnam, worked at the office from 1990 to 2021. |

Languages of Niger | Short description | thumb|upright=1.5|Ethnolinguistic map of Niger
Niger has 11 national languages, with Hausa being the official and most spoken language. Depending on how they are counted, Niger has between 8 and 20 indigenous languages, belonging to the Afroasiatic, Nilo-Saharan and Niger–Congo families. The discrepancy comes from the fact that several are closely related, and can be grouped together or considered apart. |
Languages of Niger | Official languages | Official languages
The official language of Niger is HausaRépublique du Niger, "The massive African country that's just adopted a new official language" express.co.uk (accessed 20 April 2025).
French, inherited from the colonial period is spoken mainly as a second language by people who have received an education (20% of Nigeriens are literate in French, and even 47% in cities, growing quickly as literacy improveshttp://www.odsef.fss.ulaval.ca/sites/odsef.fss.ulaval.ca/files/odsef_rr_alphab_niger_2015_final2.pdf, page 18-19.).
Although educated Nigeriens still constitute a relatively small percentage of the population, the French language is the language used by the official administration (courts, government, etc.), the media and the business community.
Niger is a member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Francophonie.

Robert Skene (polo player) | Use dmy dates | thumb| - El Gráfico, 1951.
Charles Robertson Skene (26 May 1914 – 24 August 1997), commonly known as Robert or Bob and nicknamed Hurricane Bob, was an Australian 10-goal polo player. He was a founding inductee of the Australian Polo Federation Hall of Fame, the Sport Australia Hall of Fame and the U.S. Museum of Polo and Hall of Fame. |
Robert Skene (polo player) | Biography | Biography
Skene was born in Assam, India to an Australian tea planter, Curtis Skene. His father was a distinguished polo player, becoming an eight-goal player in 1929. Charles Skene began his polo-playing career playing country club polo in Australia with his father and friends.
He was a two-goal player at 18. In 1937 he was on the Ashton Brothers Australian team that won the Champion Cup at the Hurlingham Club in London. At 25 he received a nine-goal rating playing for England vs. the United States in the Westchester Cup on Long Island, New York. Skene remained in the United States after the match, working in the war relief effort in the Bundles for Britain campaign. He played no polo until 1949.
Wanting to contribute more to the war effort, he soon joined the Indian army, becoming an officer in a Gurkhas regiment. In February 1942 he was posted to Malaya, then taken prisoner by the Japanese at the fall of Singapore the same month. He was held in Singapore's infamous Changi Prison for 3½ years. In late 1946 Skene was discharged from the army; he became a racing steward in Kuala Lumpur, Malaya.
In 1949 he was invited to play for England again, vs. Argentina in Argentina. The Argentines initially gave him a handicap of six goals, but soon raised that to nine goals. In 1950, he was hired by Russell E. Havenstrite to manage the Beverly Hills Polo Club in Beverly Hills, California. At the end of the 1950 season he was raised to a ten-goal ranking (the maximum possible).
He played in eight U.S. Open Polo Championships, and was on the winning side three times. He retained his ten-goal ranking for 17 years, until the age of 53. In 1954 he became the first foreigner to play for an Argentine team (El Trebol) in an Argentine Open. He was invited to play there again in 1956. Both times he was on the winning team.
In 1960 he moved to Santa Barbara, California, where he became manager of the Santa Barbara Polo Club. In the early 1970s the historic club was in financial difficulty. Membership and patronage had dropped, and property developers were trying to redevelop the polo fields. Skene worked keeping the club afloat, lobbying the county supervisors against development proposals, organizing volunteers, repairing stables, organizing teams and playing, and generating greater interest and a larger membership. He is credited with saving polo in Santa Barbara.
In 1972 and 1973 he made extensive travels around the United States, teaching polo schools at various polo clubs.
In 1988 Skene was inducted into the Sports Australia Hall of Fame and in 1990 he was inducted into the United States Polo Hall of Fame. The Santa Barbara club awards the annual Robert Skene Trophy to twenty-goal tournament winners.
He died on 24 August 1997 in Santa Barbara, California at the age of 83. |

Choerospondias | Short description | Choerospondias axillaris, known in English as the Nepali hog plum, is a tree in the family Anacardiaceae. It is the sole species in genus Choerospondias. It is native to the Himalayas, Indochina, southern and north-central China, Taiwan, and Japan. It is a common fruit in Nepal and Bhutan, called lapsi and aamli in the Nepali-speaking community.
Its fruit is about 3 centimeters long and has a soft whitish sour flesh and green to yellow skin. The fruit is made into pickles, fruit tarts, and sour, spicy candy. The tree has long been cultivated for its fruit. The fruit is nutritious and has a price comparable to the mandarin orange on the Nepalese market.
This is a deciduous tree growing up to 20 meters tall. The smaller branches are purple-brown in color. The compound leaves are up to long and divided into 3 to 6 papery oval leaflets each up to . The tree is dioecious, with male and female trees producing different types of inflorescence. Male flowers occur in long clusters and have curving, brown-veined petals about 3 millimeters long. Female flowers are solitary in leaf axils at the tips of branches. They are larger than the male flowers and yield the edible drupe. The fallen fruits are consumed and dispersed by sambar and barking deer. The fruit is also used in religious ceremonies as an offering.
Besides fruit, the tree yields valuable wood and hard seeds which are burned for fuel, and has parts used medicinally in Vietnam and Tibet.
Catechin-7-O-glucoside can be found in the stem barks of C. axillaris.Flavanoidal constituents of Choerospondias axillaries and their in vitro antitumor and anti-hypoxia activities.

Public Enemy No. 1 (gang) | short description | Public Enemy No. 1 (abbreviated as PEN1; pronounced ), also known as PENI Death Squad (or PDS), is a prison and street gang formed in Long Beach, California and now based in Orange County, California. In 2004, the California Department of Justice described PEN1 as "one of the most powerful and fastest-growing gangs inside and outside prison", and reported it had about 200 members statewide. The gang's main activities include identity theft, credit card fraud, and methamphetamine sales. |
Public Enemy No. 1 (gang) | History | History
The Public Enemy No. 1 gang emerged from the hardcore punk scene in Long Beach, California during the 1980s. By the 1990s, however, PEN1's base of operations was in Orange County where the gang began recruiting white suburban adolescents and became involved in methamphetamine trafficking, prostitution and identity theft. The gang also formed ties with the Aryan Brotherhood and the Nazi Lowriders in the prison system.
One of the gang's founders; Donald "Popeye" Mazza, became a made member of the Aryan Brotherhood. Another founding member, Devlin "Gazoo" Stringfellow, was stabbed to death by two other inmates at California State Prison, Sacramento on January 10, 2018. In June 2022, Donald "Popeye" Mazza pleaded guilty to racketeering and conspiracy charges in federal court. |
Public Enemy No. 1 (gang) | Symbology and identification | Symbology and identification
The gang uses the numeric symbol "737" to indicate association with the gang. The numbers correspond to the letters P, D, and S on a telephone keypad. The initials stand for PENI Death Squad, another name for the group.
Members often mark themselves with tattoos of different acronyms for the gang. Designs commonly include the words "PENI", "PDS" or the numbers "737", and sometimes in the form of runes, such as "ᛈᛖᚾᛁ" (PENI) or "ᛈᛞᛋ" (PDS), from Germanic runic alphabets. |
Public Enemy No. 1 (gang) | Criminal activity | Criminal activity
Public Enemy No. 1 is heavily involved in identity theft, which is not a crime often associated with street gangs; most of the income from this is allegedly used to finance methamphetamine sale and other operations. Originally, the gang did this by raiding mailboxes and trash cans for personal information, but later used contacts inside of banks, mortgage companies and state motor vehicle departments in order to gain access to credit profiles. This has led to law enforcement officials requesting that their personal information be removed so that it can't be used by gang members to identify home addresses of police officers. Additionally, PEN1 is involved in drug trafficking, murder, assault, auto theft, burglary and property crime. |
Public Enemy No. 1 (gang) | Investigations and prosecutions | Investigations and prosecutions
On December 16, 2010, fifty members of PEN1, the Aryan Brotherhood, the Nazi Lowriders and three other white supremacist gangs were arrested in Orange County on various federal charges, including criminal fraud and illegal firearms and narcotics sales, as a result of Operation Stormfront, a joint investigation by the Orange County Sheriff's Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).OPERATION STORMFRONT: OC OFFICIALS TARGET WHITE SUPREMACISTS IN LARGEST GANG SWEEP California County News (December 16, 2010)
On January 1st, 2024, 57 some members of Public Enemy No. 1 were arrested after approximately 300 law enforcement officers from about 25 agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and U.S. Marshals Service, carried out raids at 75 locations in southern California. Two handguns, a shotgun, a rifle and small amounts of drugs were also seized. The arrests were made after authorities discovered the names of an Orange County prosecutor and five police officers on a PEN1 hitlist the month before. |
Public Enemy No. 1 (gang) | In popular culture and media | In popular culture and media
The gang is featured in the TV documentary series Gangland, season 6, Episode 14: "Public Enemy #1".
In the crime-thriller feature film Shot Caller (2017), stockbroker and family man Jacob Harlon (played by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) causes a fatal DUI accident and is sentenced to prison, where survival requires him to get mixed in gang life and associate with PENI gang members, then joining the Aryan Brotherhood through his connection to them. |

Enrique Fernando | Short description | Enrique Fausto Medina Fernando Sr. (July 25, 1915 – October 13, 2004) was the 13th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines. A noted constitutionalist and law professor, he served in the Supreme Court for 18 years, including 6 years as Chief Justice. |
Enrique Fernando | Early career | Early career
Fernando was born in Malate, Manila. He obtained his Bachelor of Laws degree at the University of the Philippines College of Law, graduating magna cum laude in 1938. He was a member of the Upsilon Sigma Phi fraternity.
Shortly after admission to the bar, he joined the faculty of his alma mater, where he taught as a full-time member of the faculty until 1953, and as a professorial lecturer for decades afterwards. He was eventually appointed as the George A. Malcolm Professor of Constitutional Law. Later, he would also teach constitutional law at the Lyceum of the Philippines. Fernando was feared for his rather tyrannical manner in the classroom, yet many of his law students would emerge as Supreme Court justices or prominent practitioners in their own right.
In 1947, he was admitted by the Yale Law School as the first Filipino Sterling Fellow, earning his Master of Law degree the following year.
Fernando was appointed as a Code Commissioner in 1953 and served in that capacity until 1964. In the 1950s, he served as a Presidential adviser to Presidents Ramon Magsaysay and Carlos P. Garcia. He likewise engaged in an extensive private practice prior to his appointment to the Supreme Court. Among his law partners was Senator Lorenzo Tañada, with whom he would co-author a popular hornbook on constitutional law. In his lifetime, Fernando would author several books on constitutional and administrative law. |
Enrique Fernando | Supreme Court years | Supreme Court years
In 1966, Fernando was appointed as Presidential Legal Counsel by Ferdinand Marcos. The following year, Marcos appointed him to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.
If not for the death of Chief Justice Fred Ruiz Castro in 1979, Fernando would have had the opportunity to become the Chief Justice only in 1984, after Castro reached the mandatory retirement age of 70, and serving for only 1 year until his own retirement. However, Castro died suddenly of a heart attack on April 19, 1979, and Fernando, by then the most senior of the Associate Justices, was promoted by Marcos as Chief Justice. |
Enrique Fernando | Jurisprudence | Jurisprudence
At the time of his appointment to the Court, Fernando was already recognized as one of the country's leading authorities on constitutional law, and as an ardent civil libertarian and active member of the Civil Liberties Union founded by his colleague on the Court, J. B. L. Reyes. He was especially noted for his mastery of American jurisprudence on republicanism and individual rights. He would have ample opportunity to expound on these subjects during his 17-year tenure on the Court.
In Morfe v. Mutuc, 130 Phil. 415 (1968), Fernando wrote for the Court that an anti-graft law requiring the periodic submission by public officials of their statements of assets and liabilities did not infringe on the officer's right to liberty under the due process clause, or on the right to privacy. Nonetheless, Morfe marked the first time the Philippine Supreme Court recognized the existence of a constitutional right to privacy as "accorded recognition independently of its identification with liberty; in itself, it is fully deserving of constitutional protection." The then-recent United States Supreme Court ruling in Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479 (1965) was favorably cited.
Fernando was also a persistent proponent of the clear and present danger test as the only acceptable limitation on the right to free expression, as expressed in his ponencia in Gonzales v. COMELEC, 137 Phil. 471 (1969), and his dissent in Badoy v. Ferrer, 35 SCRA 285 (1970). |
Enrique Fernando | Controversies | Controversies
Along with Claudio Teehankee Sr., Fernando was the longest-serving of the Justices appointed during the 20-year rule of Ferdinand Marcos. However, unlike Teehankee who progressively became a consistent dissenter to the martial-law rule of Marcos, Fernando frequently voted to affirm challenged acts of the martial law regime. Even though Fernando often qualified his opinions to voice concerns about potential violations of the Bill of Rights, his voting record, as well as his relatively lengthy tenure as Chief Justice during martial law tied him closely with the Marcos regime, and to a Supreme Court perceived as a "lackey of Malacañang". This reputation was further enhanced when Fernando was photographed holding an umbrella to the then First Lady Imelda Marcos, a seeming act of chivalry many considered inappropriate for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Critically, Justice Isagani Cruz observed that "as Chief Justice, Fernando emphasized that one of the important functions of the judiciary was the 'legitimizing' function. This was to be the stand-by excuse of the Court under him whenever it had to sustain the acts of President Marcos."
In March 1982, Associate Justice Ameurfina Melencio-Herrera resigned as chair of the court's examination committee after revealing that the mercantile law grades of Associate Justice Vicente Ericta's son Gustavo, who took the 1981 Philippine Bar Examinations, was changed from 56 to 58 percent prior to publication of the test results to enable him to pass with a general average of 73 and become a fully-pledged lawyer. Fernando subsequently admitted ordering the revision in the younger Ericta's grade but denied allegations of unethical behavior, saying that it was done to correct an "oversight" by the examiner upon the advice of justices Ramon Aquino and Ramon Fernandez, who were prematurely shown Ericta's grades, and citing a similar predicament with one of his sons, who died shortly after passing the bar exam.
Following public uproar and demands for their impeachment, all 14 members of the Supreme Court, including six justices who were not directly involved in the grade tampering, submitted their resignation to President Marcos on May 11. All of them were subsequently reappointed days later by Marcos, except for Ericta and Fernandez, who were both "found responsible" for the scandal by a group of former justices advising the president.
Shortly after the murder of opposition leader Benigno Aquino Jr. in 1983, Marcos named Fernando to head a fact-finding commission tasked with investigating the assassination. The appointment drew controversy due to concerns that it violated the constitutional separation of powers, and also out of concerns that a commission headed by a man so closely identified to the Marcos regime would not be sufficiently independent. Fernando promptly resigned, and retired Court of Appeals Justice Corazon Agrava was appointed to head what became known as the Agrava Fact-Finding Board Commission. |

Fernando's lengthy service in the Court ended in 1985, when he reached the compulsory retirement age of 70. Marcos would be toppled from power the following year, and Fernando's most prominent rival Teehankee would be named Chief Justice by Corazon Aquino.
Fernando remained in active practice until shortly before his death at the age 89 in 2004. His expertise as amicus curiae was sought by the Court in the controversial case of Manila Prince Hotel v. GSIS, 267 SCRA 408 (1997).

Weiyang Palace | Infobox UNESCO World Heritage Site
| The Weiyang Palace () was the main imperial palace complex of the Han dynasty and numerous other Chinese dynasties, located in the city of Chang'an (modern-day Xi'an). It was built in 200 BC at the request of the Emperor Gaozu of Han, under the supervision of his prime minister Xiao He. It served as the administrative centre and imperial residence of the Western Han, the Xin dynasty, the Eastern Han (during the reign of the Emperor Xian of Han), the Western Jin (during the reign of the Emperor Min of Jin), the Han-Zhao, the Former Qin, the Later Qin, the Western Wei, the Northern Zhou, and the early Sui dynasty.
The palace survived until the Tang dynasty when it was burned down by marauding invaders en route to the Tang capital Chang'an. This was the largest palace ever built on Earth, covering 4.8 km2 (1,200 acres), which is 6.7 times the size of the current Forbidden City, or 11 times the size of the Vatican City. Today, little remains of the former palace. The site of the palace, along with many other sites along the eastern section of the Silk Road, was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014. |
Weiyang Palace | Name | Name
"Weiyang" () literally means "(something) hasn't reached its midpoint", "has more than a half to go", but colloquially it can be translated as "endless", which is probably what the name is actually alluding to. Together with the name of Changle Palace (, perpetual happiness), which was built 2 years before, it can be interpreted to mean, "The perpetual happiness hasn't reached its midpoint yet." |
Weiyang Palace | Description | Description
Weiyang palace was sited to the southwest of Han dynasty Chang'an and is therefore also called the Western Palace (). Surrounded by walls, the palace complex was rectangular, with a length of 2,150 metres east–west and 2,250 metres north–south. Each side of the walls had a single main gate, with the eastern and northern gates (facing Chang'an city) built with gate towers.

Re! | more citations needed | Re! is a Greek album by singer Anna Vissi released in Greece and Cyprus on December 24, 1994. It was recorded in London at Whitfield Street Recording Studios and released by Sony Music Greece.Re! [CD booklet] (1994). Athens, Greece: Sony Music Entertainment Greece. It is the most acoustic album Vissi has released up to date. It was repackaged in 1995 to include the songs "Amin", "Eleni" and a remix of "Eimai Poli Kala". Music and lyrics are by Nikos Karvelas and Evi Droutsa. |
Re! | Release | Release
Re! was originally released on December 24, 1994, featuring ten songs. In September 18, 1995, the album was re-released to include the songs "Amin" and "Eleni" and a remix of "Eimai Poli Kala", pushing sales to Gold status, with more than 40,000 units sold. The lyrics of the bonus tracks, though, were not included in the album's liner notes and overall no significant change was made in the original artwork. In 1999, a Turkish artist Hülya Avşar covered the single "Eleni" with the Turkish lyrics as "Sevdim" (I loved), which met moderate success, while radio stations also picked up the original version by Anna Vissi. Sony Music Turkey then decided upon the release of Re! in Turkey. The album reached 2× Platinum in Turkey.
The singles "Eimai Poli Kala", "Re!", "Amin" and "Eleni" were released on accompanying promotional videos during 1994 and 1995, all of which aired in local TV stations. "Eimai Poli Kala", directed by Nikos Soulis, was especially acclaimed for the use of CGI graphics applied on real-life locations around the city of Athens, a relatively novel technology for the 90s Greek market.
In 2001, "Eimai Poli Kala" and "Eleni" were selected for digital release on Vissi's The Video Collection.
In 2019, the album was selected for inclusion in the Panik Gold box set The Legendary Recordings 1982-2019. The release came after Panik's acquisition rights of Vissi's back catalogue from her previous record company Sony Music Greece. This box set was printed on a limited edition of 500 copies containing CD releases of all of her albums from 1982 to 2019 plus unreleased material. |
