Conclusions
• Black Hole masses from 0.2 to 1.6 109 M– not only the most massive galaxies– therefore MBH-BULGE relation can hold up to the highest redshifts
• No evolution in FeII/MgII ratios up to z = 6– star formed at z > 10– or indication for decline?
• BH masses differ much more than enrichment
• Accurate redshifts for follow-up and better HII region determination
• Not mentioned: power-law slopes, absorption by intervening gas and/or gas within the system
