Follow-up:

When police and fireman arrived on the scene, they arrested Coleman, Pivar and BF/VF manager, Jeri Rossi. Coleman was charged under an arcane statute, which had not been used since the 1800s, citing him for "possession of an infernal machine". He was fined $5000 for possessing and exploding fireworks and a further $300 for eating mice. The terms of his probation stipulated that he "not eat any Massachusetts mice for a year".[2][15][33][36][37]

Ironwood is the only known place in the Upper Peninsula to ever host a professional sports team, with Ironwood hosting the Northwest Football League's Gogebic Panthers in 1935 and 1936. Their 1935 campaign was immensely successful as the Panthers finished with a 6–1 record, their only loss coming to the eventual league champion La Crosse Old Style Lagers. Their 1936 campaign featured a 6–0 victory over the Madison Cardinals, who folded a few days after the Lagers defeated them 100–0 in an effort to kick them out of the league

Demi-relatedly, I appreciate this section on Bessemer, Michigan:

This section was made by somebody who lives in bessemer. However because of that, this part does not currently have citations.

Logging and fishing is a large part of the culture of Bessemer, Logging because people use wood stoves to heat their homes in the winter, And fishing for the reason of sport & as an hobby.

In vehicles, Electric cars are completely out of the question. As there are no electric car charging stations. And also there are a large portion of pickup trucks, they are good as they are easy to throw wood onto without damaging the truck, while also not being a hefty semi truck. So in that way it is perfect for logging. And its also not as small as a SUV which also has an roof in the way.

Hunting is also another part of the culture, both for sport and for the food that comes out of it.

Another part of the culture is how Bessemer is more attached to its locacllity to the UP rather then the state of michigan. Also see the Superior (proposed U.S. state) article. The citizens take pride in how they are locals and how the town is not a corporatized city, As they like the towns overall atmosphere.

was looking up the fall's peel sessions, couldn't remember how many they did. the wiki article on the Peel Sessions 1978-2004 is very nearly baroque. someone actually put in a table:

Among the 97 total tracks on The Complete Peel Sessions, the following were cited as highlights of the set by at least one critic from the aforementioned reviews:
Tracks cited by one or more critics as highlights of The Complete Peel Sessions 1978–2004:

my favorite thing is that this table _includes the number of critics who named the track as a highlight_

there's also this in-line parenthetical note:

"Jingle Bell Rock" (Bobby Helms cover; with substantially different lyrics to the original 1957 song)

my favorite of all has to be the editorial note added to rob fitzpatrick's review of the release:

In France, John Peel would have surely have been hung [sic?] in the town square long before he, or his favourite-ever band, the Fall

it's that little question mark that does it for me. like yes, wiki editor, perhaps fitzpatrick _was_ indeed suggesting that john peel would have had a monster cock were he french.

unusual details, Eli Roth being a dick:

Roth originally wanted Cerina Vincent to show her naked buttocks during her sex scene with Rider Strong. Vincent, who had previously played a nude foreign exchange student in Not Another Teen Movie (2001), was afraid that exposing too much of herself would lead to being typecast as a nudity actress and vehemently refused to bare her buttocks.[citation needed] At the peak of this conflict between the two, Vincent told Roth that if he wanted the shot so badly, he would need to re-cast the role with another actress. But they managed to reach a compromise, in which Vincent showed one inch of her buttocks on camera before Roth measured it for it to be precise. Bedsheets were then taped to her backside at the designated level and the scene was filmed.[15]

After the song reached 500,000 sales in the UK, the Nottinghamshire County Council honoured KWS with a civic reception.[60]

does wikipedia have an official editorial stance on the oxford comma?

Rainer Zitelmann, a real estate expert, argues that language like "Eat the Rich" is prejudicial, perpetuating stereotypes, and engaging in classism.[14] He also says that it can serve to dehumanize people wealthier than the speaker and poses risks of inciting violence.[15]
