"I am enthusiastic over humanity’s extraordinary and sometimes very timely ingenuity. If you are in a shipwreck and all the boats are gone, a piano top buoyant enough to keep you afloat that comes along makes a fortuitous life preserver. But this is not to say that the best way to design a life preserver is in the form of a piano top. I think that we are clinging to a great many piano tops in accepting yesterday’s fortuitous contrivings as constituting the only means for solving a given problem." - Richard Buckminster Fuller

Flame-faced tanager
The flame-faced tanager (Tangara parzudakii) is a species of bird in the tanager family, Thraupidae. It is endemic to South America and is found in the eastern Andes of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela, its natural habitat being subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. The flame-faced tanager is a distinctive-looking species with black and opalescent-green upperparts, opalescent-green and buff underparts, and a deep-red and yellow face. The subspecies T. p. lunigera lacks the deep red on the face, which is replaced with orangish-red. It is an omnivorous bird, feeding on fruit and arthropods found mostly on mossy branches. It breeds in the rainy season with eggs laid in clutches of two and fledglings fed by both parents. Although it is listed as a least-concern species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, it is facing population decline due to habitat destruction. This flame-faced tanager of the subspecies T. p. parzudakii was photographed perching on a branch in the Parque Verde y Agua in Colombia's Cundinamarca Department.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp

How to get a list of a page's subpages

Subpages are pages that have a parent page. They share their parent page's title, followed by a "/" (slash), followed by their own name. The Wikipedia, Portal, and User namespaces allow subpages. WikiProjects, user pages and Portals often have subpages. Below are two options to obtain a list of subpages for a particular page.

* Option 1: In the left toolbar, under tools, select Page Information and an information page is shown. In the first table, there is a link for Subpages of this page.

* Option 2: Click on Special pages in the toolbox menu on the left side of your screen. Then click on All pages with prefix which is under the header Lists of pages. Then select the namespace the page is in (from the pulldown menu), and enter the pagename in the inbox, and add a forward slash (/) to the end of the pagename. So if the pagename is "Wikipedia", then you should enter Wikipedia/ in the inbox. Then press the Show button. The subpages are displayed at the bottom. If nothing happens after pressing "Show", this means the page has no subpages.
