The Marquisate Bugeja was created several times to the Family of Bugeja, firstly to Vincenzo Bugeja C.M.G in 1887 by the Pope Leo XIII, without remainder.
Vincenzo Bugeja gave much to charity, building the Conservatorio Vincenzo Bugeja for orphaned and destitute girls, and much others.
Vincenzo died in 1890 without issue, and his nephew Carlino Bugeja was created Marquis Bugeja in 1891 by Pope Leo XIII, again without remainder, producing a large family.
The third regrant was to Carlino’s grandson, and again the grant was ad personam without right of succession in 1989; the Holy See formally styled Reno Ellul-Bonici-Mompalao-Bugeja, Marquis Bugeja. The Marquis dying prior to Christmas of 2004. The title was a Papal life title, meaning the title is now extinct.

Bugeja and Dimitrova estimate the half-life of the citations they've studied to be under four years.
Bugeja believes that helping to address the decay of online footnotes needs to be at the top of concerns for academic libraries, whose core mission should be "serving researchers as ultimate repositories of unassailable fact." He fears that academic librarians have strayed by embracing computer technology before fully understanding the risks.
Bugeja, 52, grew up in the New York City area, "in the shadows of Manhattan," where an enduring memory for him is the sight of newspapermen, notebooks in pocket, running in and out of the Daily News Building.
Bugeja (2006) cites additional concerns when he bemoans that technology was supposed to enhance the educational experiences of students in the classroom, but instead, but students are surfing the Internet on their laptops during lectures, making cell phone calls, or playing with their iPods.
Bugeja further reveals a sense of impatience and intolerance when he suggests that those who read his book and interpret it as hyperbole may be addicted to technology themselves (Bugeja, 2005b), failing to recognize the very real reasons why we should not want to return to that time.
Bugeja's failure to cite scholarly sources that may have supported his arguments weakened his claims and caused the book to seem like a polemic written by an author who is out of touch with how communication has changed with the advent of computers and other technology.
