Portal:Pomerania

 * – (View MfD)

Abandoned, static mini-portal on Pomerania, a historical region on the southern shore of the Baltic Sea, now split beween Germany and Poland. Very low pageviews, very little content. Redundant to the B-class head article Pomerania, and its two excellent navboxes: Template:Pomeranian history and Template:Pomeranian geography.

Created in July 2013 by, but only as a three-line place-holder: "Let's start with copying the German Portal:Pommern here". That was Horst-schlaemma's last contribution to the portal.

The portal was actually built in July 2017 by, who has done a lot of work on German portals and has pioneered the "mega-navbox" style of portal. This uses extensive navbox-like lists of articles to provide direct access to lots of them, complete with the built-in previews available to non-logged-in readers on all en.wp pages. It's vastly more usable than the predominant but hideous one-subpage-at-a-time model. Sadly, readers seem no more interested in it than in the subpage portals, so in Jan–Jun 2019 this portal averaged only 6 views day, which is barely above background noise.

This structure doesn't have a farm of content-forked sub-pages, so Special:PrefixIndex/Portal:Pomerania contains very few content pages, and they have all been abandoned since 2017:
 * Portal:Pomerania/Education, Portal:Pomerania/Geography, Portal:Pomerania/New Articles last edited in the month they were created: July 2017
 * Portal:Pomerania/History: created July 2017. Only edit since is a dab.
 * Portal:Pomerania/Selected Articles created July 2017, only edit since is "fix image options".

And that's it. So this portal has been displaying the same content since it was built, even including the set of only two selected article content-forked into Portal:Pomerania/Selected Articles.

WP:POG requires that portals should be about "broad subject areas, which are likely to attract large numbers of interested readers and portal maintainers". POG also guides that "the portal should be associated with a WikiProject (or have editors with sufficient interest) to help ensure a supply of new material for the portal and maintain the portal". This fails on all four counts:
 * 1)  Broad topic . Depends how you define it.  If the scope is defined as the whole of the history of that area, then it may be big enough ... but that involves framing contemporary topics through a historical region, which now crosses a border.  That isn't just perverse; it could be seen as POV-pushing Pan-Germanism or irredentism.
 * 2)  High readership .  No. 6 views per day is very low.
 * 3)  Lots of maintainers . No. Wholly, abandoned from 2013 to 2017, then one day of edits on 28 July 2017, then abandoned again apart from trivial formatting edits to the portal's main page.
 * 4)  WikiProject involvement . No. There is no WP:WikiProject Pomerania, which means that there is no systematic assessment of Pomerania articles to feed the portal, and no pool of editors to maintain it. The porta's talkpage is tagged for WP:WikiProject Germany, but its talk page+archives contain only one mention of the portal: Bermicourt's 28 July 2017 announcement that the portal had been built, which got no response.

The experience of 6 months of MFDs scrutinising many hundreds of portals has shown that many countries don't even make viable portals, and sub-national regions even more rarely. Despite en.wp's huge systemic bias towards American topics, even many states of the United States had portals which failed. This isn't even a sub-national region; it's a former sub-national region.

This portal was created in good faith, mimicking the German system of portals. But on en.wp it has failed. There is no active WikiProject to support it, and almost no interest in reading it. Readers would be massively better served by being directed to the B-class head article Pomerania. Time to just delete this portal. Since the problems are deep-seated and long-standing, I oppose re-creation. Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:39, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Note on backlinks. I don't want in any way to prejudge the outcome ... but if this discussion is closed as delete, I suggest that the backlinks be removed.  I have an AWB setup which allows me to easily replace them with links to the next most specific portal(s), without creating duplicate entries, but in this case in this case, there are only 11 links from articles, and replacing a link to Portal:Pomerania with either or both of Portal:Poland/Portal:Germany risks POV issues, so I propose to just delete the links. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 16:18, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. The portal is not 'abandoned' at all and I'm afraid the above are just Aunt Sally criteria based loosely on an obsolete, decade-old guideline which of course it is easy to fail a portal. In fact most of the articles on Wikipedia would fail these criteria. And particularly inappropriate timing while the community discusses the future of portals... BTW the relevant project are the Germany and History WikiProjects. Bermicourt (talk) 16:58, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * @Bermicourt, the evidence of abandonment is there, in the nomination. Strange to see such denialism.
 * The community is not discussing the future of portals. It's having it's time wasted by a false binary proposition which Bermicourt tabled when he was in a sulk about his rant at another MFD being rebutted. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs)
 * PS the criteria used above have been applied in about 800 portal deletion discussions, so calling them an "Aunt Sally" is a bit silly.  And Bermicourt seems not to have noticed that portals are not articles. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 19:06, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * You need to be careful trying to claim the moral high ground when your response to other editors' views is to use sarcasm and describe them as having a "rant", "sulking", "denialism" and "silly". As an administrator you ought to be a model of fair and reasonable conduct who can argue a point well without resorting to personal attacks and sarcastic comments. Bermicourt (talk) 20:59, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * @Bermicourt, once again, I took care to make a nomination which explicitly praised you for some things, and which explicitly assumed your good faith. And once again, you replied with incivility and ABF, this time as a scarcastic allegation of bad faith.
 * My model of fair and reasonable conduct does not include endlessly indulging the hostility and rudeness of someone to whom I have repeatedly extended a lot of courtesy, and repeatedly had it throw back at me. So I replied in the tone which you had chosen. If you want to play snippy games like calling a reasoned nomination an "Aunt Sally", I'll reply without my default kindness. And if you choose to finally make an exception to the angrily-lashing-out WP:OWNership stance which you have repeatedly taken at MFD, then we can we can resume to gentler style of dialogue with which I opened. Your call. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 22:23, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Robert McClenon (talk) 21:20, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete as per analysis by User:BrownHairedGirl:
 * The portal, as noted, had an average of 6 daily pageviews in the first half of 2019. The article had a median of 612 and a mean of 1113, and attracted 31,714 views on 7 May.  You don't see that with subject-oriented portals.  Users don't want to see portals.  Users want to see articles.
 * The community isn't discussing the future of portals. The community is making a lot of incoherent noise about the future of portals.  The community hasn't bought in to formalizing the "Aunt Sally" guidelines at WP:POG2019RFC, but the community hasn't proposed anything else.  That implies that perhaps we should either use common sense of Wikipedia, or use the common sense of British and Roman philosophers.  Common sense says that 6 daily pageviews, which is no more than BHG measured as noise, isn't worth supporting.
 * I don't see a reason to re-create this portal in the future, because this portal already has a modern design.
 * It's rude to insult Aunt Sally.
 * Delete this junk portal forever.Catfurball (talk) 22:54, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete and oppose re-creation per analysis by BrownHairedGirl and Robert McClenon. -Crossroads- (talk) 03:11, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete and oppose re-creation per the thorough and highly detailed investigation of the portal by the nominator,  Brown HairedGirl . Portals stand or fall on their merits in the now, not what could someday hypothetically happen with them, and this one on an incredibly narrow topic and with almost no views falls flat. This portal is a solution in search of a problem. Newshunter12 (talk) 03:45, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. If you take an incredibly narrow view of portals, you will fall victim to that sort of conclusion. These portals are used to generate a one-page overview of current coverage and quality of article topics which is then used to prioritise and create new articles and improve existing ones. So they aren't searching for a problem - they're solving problems. Well at least for those editors working on expanding the sum of human knowledge. Bermicourt (talk) 18:43, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * @Bermicourt, this is currently a portal directed at readers.  As the nomination shows, it has failed in that task.  However, your comment above describes it effectively as  a tool for editors.  If you believe that it would be of use to editors, then I would happily support its move to project space. --  Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 20:54, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * , I just mentioned some concerns about this at the discussion for Portal:Berlin. This was already done to that portal, but now it has incoming links from article space and can easily be moved back down the line. I think Bermicourt instead should copy the information that is thought to be useful to editors, paste it in a new WikiProject page, and let the portal be deleted. -Crossroads- (talk) 21:52, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * if the discussion is closed as "delete" or "move", then any move back can be WP:G4 speedied. -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 22:05, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I see, thanks. That still leaves the issue of the incoming links, but it looks like you or XfDCloser can remove those. -Crossroads- (talk) 22:32, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I have removed or replaced about 150,00 such links in the last two months, so a few more is no bother. -- Brown HairedGirl  (talk) • (contribs) 00:53, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree with BrownHairedGirl that this style of portal is better than others. However, the cost of its maintenance is clearly still higher than its perceived benefits, otherwise there wouldn't be a section on "new categories" with the last dates being in 2017. The portal could be viable if it's reduced to static content which only needs to be updated once every 10 or 20 years (like the "born over 200 years ago" list) and which cannot fit any article. Nemo 09:54, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per WP:COMMONSENSE Second level country divisions not are a broad subject area. The ideal would be to work on these topics in the country portal.Guilherme Burn (talk) 13:03, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Supplied-air respirator

A supplied-air respirator (SAR) or air-line respirator is a breathing apparatus used in places where the ambient air may not be safe to breathe. It uses an air hose to supply air from outside the danger zone. It is similar to a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), except that SCBA users carry their air with them in high pressure cylinders, while SAR users get it from a remote stationary air supply connected to them by a hose. They may be equipped with a backup air tank in case the air-line gets cut.

Description
SARs are lightweight, but tether the user. Unlike SCBAs, the worker will not run out of air when the tank they carry is empty. They can therefore be used for longer continuous work periods. The mask end of a SAR is generally lower-maintenance than an SCBA, but the air compressors or tanks at the other end of the hose require monitoring and maintenance. It is important that they deliver good air; contaminants (which may also be introduced by faulty operation of the machinery) can be dangerous.

If the air-supply line is cut or pinched shut, the user will not have any air to breathe. SAR users therefore often carry a small backup air tank (called an auxiliary escape cylinder ). In an emergency, they can switch to using this supply, which should last long enough for them to escape the dangerous area. This backup bottle is required in some jurisdictions. Other regulations also apply. Users of SARs must generally be given hands-on training with the specific model they are to use.

SARs may be either constant-flow or pressure-demand respirators. Constant-flow respirators supply a steady stream of air, some of which escapes from the wearer end unbreathed. Pressure-demand respirators supply air only when the pressure in the wearer's mask drops (that is, when they inhale). This saves air but allows more inwards leakage. Pressure-demand respirators can only be used with a sealed elastomeric mask, not with a loose-fitting hood (like those used in powered air-purifying respirators) or helmet (used in construction). Hoods may be made of Tyvek, polyethylene, or polypropylene.

Use
According to the NIOSH Respirator Selection Logic, SARs with an auxiliary SCBA are recommended for oxygen-deficient atmospheres, atmospheres that are immediately dangerous to life or health, and unknown atmospheres, all of which are conditions that air-purifying respirators such as N95 masks do not protect against. SARs without an auxiliary SCBA may also be used in conditions where an air-purifying respirator may be used, and have the benefit of a higher range of assigned protection factors (APF). Air-purifying respirators have APFs in the range 5–50 while SARs are in the range 25–2000, and full-facepiece pressure-demand SARs with an auxiliary pressure-demand SCBA have an APF of 10,000. For substances hazardous to the eyes, a respirator equipped with a full facepiece, helmet, or hood is recommended. SARs are not effective during firefighting, for which a SCBA is recommended instead.

Talk:The periodic table/Hydrogen

I still don't completely get the organization scheme in Wikiversity, but under Hydrogen Atom we should include at least the model presented in high school Physics (an e orbiting a p) and the model taught in the first Quantum Physics course (which leads to the spherical harmonics and the orbitals). --Jorge 14:57, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Wikiversity needs to develop a good way to sort and present learning resources according to the age level of the learner. --JWSchmidt 15:16, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

 * What if we split it on "Hydrogen atom (High school Physics)" and "Hydrogen atom (Quantum Physics)", and make this a Dissambig? (Maybe the wording "high school physics" isn't proper.) The Quantum Physics one can easily point out (and link to) its knowledge prerequisites (so we don't need to agree an age level for it).
 * Anyway, I prefer to try out ideas on sorting rather than discussing them in community without experience about how they've served. But I don't know how to move pages, etc. Heh! --Jorge 04:10, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

 * See Help:Moving a page at Wikipedia. Another option here at Wikiversity is to use subpages. Unlike Wikipedia where subpages of articles are not allowed, pages in the Wikiversity main namespace can have subpages. The name of the subpage starts with the "parent" page's name followed by "/" and then the rest of the name. Hydrogen atom could have a very simple description of the atom and links to other pages such as Hydrogen atom/High school Physics and Hydrogen atom/Quantum Physics. --JWSchmidt 16:02, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

What part do the strong and weak force, if any, play in the hydrogen atom of various isotopes? For example, is tritium larger or smaller in diameter than normal hydrogen? Is deutarium more or less stable than normal than most common hydrogen or tritium and if so how does quaumtum mechanics explain this or is it simply empirically known?

Battle of Collecchio

The Battle of Collecchio-Fornovo (26–29 April 1945) was a battle of the Second World War between the Brazilian Expeditionary Force (Força Expedicionária Brasileira – FEB), along with Italian partisans and units from the American 1st Armored and 92nd Infantry Divisions, against the Wehrmacht's 148th Infantry Division, 90th Panzergrenadier Divisions and the fascist National Republican Army's 1st Bersaglieri "Italia" and the 4th Alpini "Monte Rosa" Divisions. The battle was fought around the town of Fornovo di Taro, about 8 mi to the southwest of Parma, Italy. The Allies defeated the Axis forces, which were attempting to break through to the north.

On 28 April, the Brazilian 6th RCT followed up with an attack on Fornovo, with German General Otto Fretter-Pico surrendering the 148th Division, with almost 15,000 German and Fascist Italian troops at the morning of 29 April.

1st Brazilian (Expeditionary) Infantry Division
The Brazilian Expeditionary Division was commanded by General João Baptista Mascarenhas de Morais. The FEB arrived in Italy in the latter part of 1944, at a time when Allied troops were being transferred from Italy to take part in operations in southern France.

On 16 July 1944, the 6th RCT reached Naples, the first of five contingents sent by Brazil. These troops were formed into a RCT under Brigadier General Euclides Zenóbio da Costa. With three U.S. tank companies as reinforcements, the 6th RCT moved to the front in September 1944, pursuing German units that were making a tactical retreat to the Gothic Line.

In October–November 1944, the 6th RCT fought several engagements, but were unable to break through the Gothic line positions before the winter snows. The 1st and 11th RCT arrived in November, bringing the FEB up to division strength. At its peak, the Brazilian division had a total of 25,334 men in the 1st, 6th and 11th RCTs. Each RCT had three battalions of four companies.

In February 1945, as part of the Battle of Mount Belvedere the Brazilians overcame the German defenders of the strong Monte Castello position. They then moved eastward, fighting at Roncovecchio, Seneveglio and Castelnuovo. The Brazilian division fought a tough four-day battle for Montese, which was taken on 16 April. Turning north, in the early morning of 21 April Brazilian forces conquered and occupied Zocca, an important rail terminal in the region, and by 22 April the FEB had broken into the Po Valley, pursuing the fleeing German forces. General Zenóbio da Costa took the vehicles from 10 of his 12 artillery batteries for use in infantry transport, creating a mobile force with 606 jeeps and 676 trucks of different types. On the morning of 26 April, Brazilian forces were consolidating the defenses of Parma, when they heard that German units were approaching from the south.

German 148th Infantry Division
On 25 September 1943, General Otto Fretter-Pico took command of the 148th Infantry Division and led it for the rest of the war. In August 1944, the division was in action against the Allied Operation Dragoon, the invasion of southern France. In late October 1944, the division was transferred to northern Italy. In December 1944, the 148th Division struck decisively against the Americans in the Apennine Mountains in Operation Wintergewitter (Winter storm), causing serious disruption despite being out-numbered and inferior in weapons to the allies.

However, by the end of March the German army was in an impossible situation. It suffered from an acute lack of supplies, total domination of the skies by the Americans, and large and rapidly growing partisan forces. By 23 April, the situation for German forces in Italy was desperate. The partisans had taken Parma, Fiume had been occupied by Tito's Yugoslav forces and French units had entered Italy from the west. The 148th Division, which had been based around the Gulf of Genoa, made a last effort to break out to the north across the Po Valley.

Collecchio
On news of the German-Italian forces approach, retreating from Genoa-La Spezia region, which had been liberated by the US 92nd Division, a Brazilian armored reconnaissance squadron moved south from Parma, meeting leading units of the Axis forces in Collecchio. They first met armored cars from the 90th Panzergrenadier Division's reconnaissance unit, and then tanks (of the same division) with infantry from the 281st regimental of the 148th Infantry Division. The reconnaissance squadron called for reinforcements. According to Captain Pitaluga of the reconnaissance troop, "I arrived in Collecchio at noon, and I was alone until 6 pm. I had already occupied almost half the town when the infantry arrived." Pitaluga's unit of M8 cars fought it out against more lightly armored German vehicles, which only had 20 mm cannons. However, the Brazilian armored cars were vulnerable to tanks and anti-tank weapons; Pitaluga said of his vehicles, "The M8 is for recon, not (for heavy) combat.". Like the M10 (another vehicle used then by Brazilian supporting units of Cavalry), M8 had open-topped turrets, which made them more vulnerable (than fully enclosed tanks) to anti-tank infantry close attacks, especially in urban combat, as was the case at Collecchio. Also, in this first day of the battle, the Brazilians were outnumbered by a German battalion with two or three squadrons.

A force of Brazilian infantry was hastily ferried to the town in jeeps, trucks (like M3s), and the transport sent back for more. By 18:30 on 26 April, the Brazilian infantry was in place and prepared for action. This included 5th Company, II Battalion, 11th Infantry; a machine gun platoon from 8th Company, 11th Infantry; and 9th Company, III Battalion, 6th RCT. Major Orlando Gomez Ramagem, commander of II Battalion, 11th Infantry was given command of the Brazilian forces. With the war clearly drawing to a close, the troops may have been reluctant to take unnecessary risks. At first, Major Ramagem was in favor of encamping for the night, but he was dissuaded by the Brazilian divisional commander, General Mascarenhas de Moraes. According to one source, "The old general acted with the enthusiasm of a lieutenant."

Ramagem ordered some of his troops, supported by the machine guns, to dig in to block Highway 62, which led north to Parma. The 5th company of the 11th RCT was ordered to attack at 19:30. The first attacks were made from the southeast by this company, which quickly captured the church. This was followed by attacks from the northeast by a company of the 6th RCT. German infantry defending the outskirts of the town, supported by mortars, responded to the attacks with intense fire. Neither the Brazilians nor the Germans had any regular artillery. The Germans had only mortar and rifle fire.

The church was used to hold German prisoners, and the church tower as an observation post. Lt. Jairo Junqueira da Silva of the 11th Infantry recounts an incident when General Zenóbio da Costa appeared unexpectedly at the church:

"That Zenóbio was crazy. We were close to the church door, and suddenly Zenóbio appeared, from heaven knows where. It was rather crowded, and I had the mortars in position in front of the church. Suddenly, here comes a German patrol in front of the garden, under cover of the vegetation. They were only a short distance away, and the guys started shooting. The first thing you have to do is hit the dust, but Zenóbio stood there as if he was a squad leader, and began issuing orders – 'Riflemen, here! Sergeant, go there!'... Like everyone else, I was lying down, with that machine gun firing close. But he didn't move, didn't lie down, did nothing of the sort."

More Brazilian troops from 2nd Company, I Battalion, 6th RCT arrived at 21:00, some riding on American and Brazilian, M10 and M4 tanks, to enter the fight. The Axis troops made several unsuccessful attempts to break through to the north, but by 02:00 on 27 April, Allied forces had penetrated into the town. The Axis forces, reinforced by artillery and some tanks made a final desperate assault just before dawn. When this failed, their resistance collapsed. By noon Allied forces, with Brazilians ahead, had full control of the town, forcing the Germans and Fascist Italians south toward Fornovo by late afternoon on 27 April.

Fornovo di Taro
Prisoners taken in the battle at Collecchio confirmed partisans and Rebels' reports that the 148th Division had come from the Gulf of Genoa and was in the area surrounding Fornovo di Taro about 9 mi to the southwest of Collecchio on Highway 62. The German 148th Infantry Division made an attempt to halt the allies at Fornovo di Taro. The Allied forces attacked this position at 18:00 on 28 April. The defeat at Collecchio and follow-up attacks in Fornovo, convinced the German commander that defeat was inevitable. At 22:00, General Otto Fretter-Pico sent emissaries seeking a cease fire while terms were discussed. On 29 April, he surrendered the 148th Division intact.

Aftermath
The Brazilian commander, General Mascarenhas de Moraes, received the surrender of the Wehrmacht and ENR Divisions on 29 April 1945. In one week the Brazilians had taken 14,700 troops, 800 officers and two generals. The Brazilians also took 1,500 vehicles and 80 guns. All Axis forces in Italy capitulated on 2 May 1945.

Talk:Compiler Construction

organization
I'm not sure this is the best organization for a book on compilers. It's missing a lot of important detail in areas (regular vs. context-free languages, SSA intermediate representation, etc). Plus, there's a lot of room devoted to stuff that is not really compiler related (garbage collection and IDEs for instance).

I think a better organization would be:

 * Introduction
 * What is a compiler
 * History of compilers
 * Brief background in language theory (chomsky hierarchy)
 * Frontend
 * Parsing regular languages
 * Regular expressions
 * Lex
 * Parsing context free languages
 * shift-reduce
 * recursive-decent
 * packrat?
 * Yacc
 * Putting it together
 * Simple lex/yacc toy language
 * Intermediate Representations
 * Parse Trees
 * Semantic Analaysis
 * Abstract Syntax Trees
 * Advanced Representations
 * RTL
 * Single Statement Assignment (SSA) Form
 * Hashed SSA Form
 * Optimizers
 * Dataflow Analysis
 * In-depth on optimizations (dead-code, common subexpression, etc.)
 * Alias Analysis
 * Backends (Code Generators)
 * Various BURGS
 * Hand Generation

I'll leave this here for a bit to see what others think and then start refactoring.

--AnthonyLiguori 03:36, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

what language to use
It may be more informative for an intro text to use a language like Scheme, which can be easily presented with and without lex and yacc.

--Matt 15:26, 9 May 2004 (UTC)

 * We do not want to be beholden to just one programming language. Dysprosia 23:15, 9 May 2004 (UTC)

Oh, I wasn't suggesting the book should be "Constructing a Compiler for Scheme." Typically, a text on compilers has alternating theory/practice sections. I was merely suggesting that Scheme be used in the practice sections.

What language would you use?

--Matt 16:45, 17 May 2004 (UTC)

I have limited experience in compiler writing (interactive Basic compiler written in assembler, Pascal-like high level language written in itself, plus a slight aquaintance with flex and bison c.f. lex and yacc). Fluent in Fortran, C, Algol 60, Basic, Pascal, some experience with C++, PL/1, fluent in assembler for 6 different computer architectures (not x86 infortunately), expect to learn Java this year. I'm willing to have a stab at this wikibook over the next year, but would probably need to redo the existing outline, and would prefer to use C or simple C++ as the implementation language for any examples.

--Murray Langton 22:00 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Can you elaborate why the old outline needs to be redone? I think we should start from a small book, so it can be manageable to us. The current outline seems to be too much. Also, I disagree to use C++. We expect that the textbook is used mostly in college, and nowadays students learn Java to write code, and many don't know C/C++. Also, the fact that java is generally machine-independent is quite nice to us. -- TakuyaMurata 23:39, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I don't think there's any need for "implementation examples." Languages should be described in the appropriate notation (regular expressions or EBNF), optimizations should be described via dataflow equations, and so on. Compilers have a rich set of domain specific languages and this shouldn't be hidden.

--AnthonyLiguori 03:39, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

3000 lines?
In the first section, we have the following:

"Note that a compiler is a non-trivial computer program; when written completely by hand a non-optimising compiler for a simple source language is likely to be upwards of 3000 lines long. Some compiler-writing tools are available which can reduce this size."

That 3000 is somewhat misleading, especially for a simple source language.

For instance:

Wirth's famous PL/0 (Pascal subset) has been implemented in many different languages - C and Pascal versions usually run around 1000 lines or less.

A Pascal subset, powerful enough to compile itself, has been implemented in less than 1500 lines of Pascal.

Another Pascal subset, Tiny-Pascal, is around 1100 lines of code, and can also compile itself.

At least two C compilers, with enough of the language implemented to self-compile, have been implemented in less than 1000 lines of code each.

Various Basic's (with strings and arrays) can be implemented in 1000 lines or less.

All of these are hand-written.

While it can and does take many thousands of lines of code to implement a compiler for a more complicated language (full ANSI-C, C++, Java, etc.), compilers for simple (but useful) languages can easily be implemented in less than 1500 lines of hand-written code.

I realize this is being very picky, but there is no need to make compilers appear to be even more complicated than they already are :-)

--Sam 16:30, 6 July 2005 (UTC)

donation
I have had a small book/large paper on writing compilers on my web site for ten years or so. [http://pages.prodigy.net/j_alan/hitech/compiler/compmain.html]

Feel free to make any use of it, including direcly copying and pasting (everybody does it anyway!)

I would especially encourage you to make use of the sections on theory, including using Chomsky Normal Formal and Extended Backus-Naur Form to design languages, and converting such forms to recursive-descent parsers.

If you use the code examples, they should probably be converted to a more modern language as I'm not sure how much Pascal is used anymore.

 * Has anything been done about this? Any volunteers? -- Jonmmorgan 00:28, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

theory
the opening paragraph of this wikibook claims that theory is kept to a minimum. I dont think this is a good tactic. Theory should be included and sufficiently explained. It is reasonable, however, to separate the "non-essential" theory into optional subsections. for instance, each section could have "Introduction", "main ideas", "theory", and "examples" subsections. --Whiteknight 05:27, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

implementation language
the subject of which language to use is an important one, and i think it deserves it's own section. I think, that it would be short-sighted to limit this book to any single existing language, because languages come in and out of favor relatively quickly. a book written 10 years ago in C would probably be rewritten today in VB or Java. unfortunately, a book written exclusively in language X exclude people who dont use language X. I have 2 recommendations: 1) all code examples be written in at least 2 different languages, possibly more for important examples, or 2) all code examples be written in Pseudocode (or even wikicode). --Whiteknight 05:21, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

 * My understanding is that most compiler books have a bunch of "toy" languages as examples.
 * But then they have a long chapter on a language powerful enough to write a Self-hosting compiler.
 * There seems to be a tradeoff between a "powerful" language that can describe any particular toy language in a few lines (but the compiler for that language is long and complex), vs. a "simple" language that takes many more lines to describe that toy language (but the compiler for that language is much shorter and easier to understand).

 * Will one of our code examples be one of these mind-bending "self-hosted" compilers? If so, an alternate implementation in some other language will help avoid the ChickenAndEggProblem.
 * --DavidCary 19:00, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

output language

 * What output language should the compilers in this wikibook spit out? --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:00, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Some options are:
 * * C-- is a "portable machine language" specifically designed for high-level compilers to generate (C--).
 * * MMIX is a fictional machine language specifically designed to be easy to learn (MMIX).
 * * ARM is the machine language used in most 32 bit CPUs (ARM).

so much for organization
I don't think it is time for us to discuss the organization of the book. The book, as of this writing, has almost no stuff yet but some just outline. I think it works just fine if we simply write more by adding examples, explaining theories, constructing exercise problems etc. We can easily reorganize those materials later on after gaining more sense of what the book should be. In other words, the book should be what it turned out to be and not necessarily what was planned initially. People have different views in mind about what the book should be and it would be the best if people simply add what they know. -- <IP_ADDRESS> 11:52, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Very Tiny Basic Lex/Yacc interpreter
I am currently writing an interpreter in C, using Lex/Yacc and Make. The language is that defined in the current Case Study 1. I feel we need an example of a Lex/Yacc project, since it is a common approach. Also since interpreting Very Tiny Basic is pretty straightforward, we could write interpreters for it in many languages/ways to demonstrate the differences in technique (and try to underline the similarities). Anyway, I plan to make it Compiler Construction:Case Study 1B, although it belongs in a much latter place than Case Study 1. I hope to write a useful article with it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Matt73 03:01, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I think that is a good idea. Maybe it's not necessary to do it in many languages so much as many techniques.  A few that come to mind are domain specific languages (eg. Yacc/Lex), recursive-descent parsers and regexp driven lexers (which is what Yacc and Lex compile to), parser combinators (though I think you might need a declarative language to do those properly) and DCGs (Definitive Clause Grammars, used in languages like Prolog and Mercury).

 * I also notice that, while VTB is defined in Bachus-Naur form, I don't see anywhere that BNF is actually defined. I also think that a few sample VTB programs are needed, as that shows a language better than BNF.

 * Jonmmorgan 00:26, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I've written a couple of sample programs, but I haven't done any BASIC programming for a long time (which is a good thing). Could someone please review them?

 * Jonmmorgan 23:39, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

About size of hand written and table-driven compiler. Both type of compilers may have less then 700-1000 lines of code and it may compile itself. To do that only limited language subset must be umplemented (one-dimension arrays, functions without arguments, if, while, call and assign stmts) and some checks may be omitted.

 * avhohlov, 20 March 2006

 * Avhohlov, I'm not sure who/what you are replying to? Regardless, your note is very interesting.             Do you have an example?  Thanks --

 * <IP_ADDRESS> 13:34, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Here [] you may see small compiler (less then 1000 lines, DOS) and modified Wirth's Pascal-S (less then 2000 lines but much more expressive, P-CODE) both self-compiled. There are no differences to translate small compiler to any widespread languages (for example C or Pascal). DOS are obsolete now and P-CODE may have some benefits but it requires virtual machine compiled by other compiler or assembler. Generation of Linux/ELF file may be relatively simple (see next link).

Also you may see OTCC (Obfuscated Tiny C Compiler) at []. Very small but it's a hacker's code.

 * avhohlov, 20 March 2006

Lex/Yacc
I am writing an outline for a proposed book on Lex/Yacc (and Flex/Bison). These two programs are certainly worth writing about, and they can be used for more then just compilers. here is my proposed outline. If we have a book dedicated to these programs, we won't need to waste time trying to explain them here in the compiler book. Also, I think that some of the contributers here would make good contributers to this new book. Any feedback would be appreciated. --Whiteknight (talk) (current) 22:16, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

It's a very good idea, and would certainly help this book. I feel that this should be a more general book than "How to make a compiler using X technique&tools" and it would be good to be able to give theory and simple examples then refer to the Flex/Yacc book (and hopefully others). Of course, the eventual direction of this book will be decided by whoever ends up writing it (not me, I don't know enough theory). I intend to finish my VTB interpreter, it just needs the interpreting code, finishing and some article writing. The reason I chose to write it was so that it flows on from the 1st case study. Hopefully when my exams are over I'll be able to finish it. Good luck with Flex/Yacc, and maybe I'll be able to help out. Matt73 13:49, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

 * If we had a good book here on wikibooks about automata theory, and context-free languages, writing a general book about compilers and theory would be a sinch. Maybe I will get to work on an outline for a book like that as well. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 15:15, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Automata Theory
I have decided to create a new book on the subject of Automata Theory. This way, we can have a wikibooks-based resource for the background information, and then this book can use that resource to cover the ground-work behind compilers, computer languages, etc. I have posted a preliminary outline for this new book HERE on my user page. Any comments or suggestions are welcome. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 00:27, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Safety optimization
What are "safety [optimizations] reducing the possibility of data structures becoming corrupted" ?

While I've certainly seen many optimizations that are "not re-entrant", "less safe", "non-volatile-safe", or otherwise "unsafe", I am unfamiliar with optimizations that make the code *more* safe than non-optimized code.

Please enlighten me. --DavidCary 20:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Neutrality
This page seems to be simply Eastern Orthodox apologia without any balance or caveats. Is Wikipedia really the place for such anti-Catholic diatribes? St.wulfric (talk) 12:46, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

No one ever seems to mind that Wikipedia has been used as a Western-centric apologia field since it's creation.

 * I created this article back in January 2012 using text extracted from Primacy of the Bishop of Rome. The problem was that all this text is sourced but the sheer volume of it was causing that article to become excessively long and unbalanced.  As a result, we now have this article which is even more unbalanced but which I hoped could be made into an encyclopedic article somehow.  I'm an inclusionist rather than a deletionist so I always try to salvage sourced text if at all possible.  The article is, at the moment, an orphan and is in need of further work to make it more NPOV.  If anyone has suggestions to improve it, I would very much appreciate it.  Or, be bold and just fix it. --Pseudo-Richard (talk) 17:45, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It was the least worst option. Laurel Lodged (talk) 23:26, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Do orthodox apologetics have a place in an encyclopedia? It needs to be completely rewritten or deleted.  If the purpose of the article is to present the Orthodox response to Papal Supremacy (is there even an official response, or merely a collection of opinions?), it should be cut down and made into a subsection of a rewrite of the (truly inadequate) article on Papal Supremacy.  If it deserves its own article, it should be clearly geared toward informing the reader of Orthodox views rather than convincing the reader. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:43, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Tell this to the writers of the "Catholic Encyclopedia"!

This Page is concerning the Orthodox Catholic Position on the Issue of the claimed Supremacy of the Patriarchate of Rome....it is accurate for the most part. If Roman Catholics desire a Latin Rite Response Article....go for it. If there are any inaccuracies they are separating Scripture from Tradition....this is a Western Notion. There is only Holy Tradition in which Scripture has primacy. All in all this article is fine. It is not an apologia....for that go to official Orthodox Websites. I am stunned that some Roman Catholics seem to think their Articles are simply Facts and not Apologetics. Please. Unless someone can point out material that does not reflect the historical and actual position of the Eastern Orthodox Catholic Communion...I suggest silence. - Rev. Fr. Ken Huffman — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:43, 29 January 2014 (UTC) I am not worried about the Catholic Encyclopedia...I am concerned about the accuracy of Wikipedia. How can you talk about Augustine being misquoted about the use of articles in a language (Latin) that has no articles? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gnuwhirled (talk • contribs) 03:45, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Primacy or supremacy
The article and the  from "Eastern Orthodox opposition to the doctrine of Papal Primacy" to "Eastern Orthodox opposition to papal supremacy" in 2013 yet the article was not changed.

The edit summary for the move was: "Making title more precise (primacy has never been at issue; supremacy is)".

I thought the various Eastern Orthodox Churches maintain separate concepts for the term primacy and the term supremacy? In other words, if most of the content came primacy of the Bishop of Rome, is this current opposition article title correct? —BoBoMisiu (talk) 22:26, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Cynthia Maung

Cynthia Maung (စင်သီယာမောင် ; born 6 December 1959) is a Karen medical doctor and founder of Mae Tao Clinic that has been providing free healthcare services for internally displaced persons (IDP) and migrant workers on the Thai-Burmese border for three decades.

Maung received Southeast Asia's Ramon Magsaysay Award for community leadership and she was listed as one of 2003 Time magazine's Asian Heroes. Altogether she has received six international awards for her work. In 1999, she was the first recipient of the Jonathan Mann Award, sponsored by Swiss and US health organisations.

Early life and education
Cynthia Maung was born to ethnic Karen parents Mahn Nyein Maung and Hla Kyi in Rangoon, and grew up in Moulmein with her parents and six siblings. Cynthia attended State High School No. 4 and it was during this period that political upheaval and the student movement began to cause disruptions to the education system in Burma. Maung found that many of her friends were dropping out of school, as they needed to work in order to make a little money to assist their family.

In 1977, the Burmese government began to make changes to the educational system which affected universities and colleges, and there were more disruptions to the school year. Maung finished high school that year but had to wait for 10 months before being able to enter the Mawlamyine Regional College where she was required to spend two years before entering medical school. A further 10 months between the regional college and medical school meant that it was 1980 before she was able to commence her medical studies.

Medical career
After medical school, Maung undertook a one-year internship at the Mawlamyaing General Hospital. It was during this time that Maung began to realise how poor some people were and how much they had to sacrifice in order to get medical care. Many people sold their homes, property and land or animals so that a family member could receive medical assistance. But still they had to purchase their own supplies such as soap, blades and dressings if they required surgery. Equipment was old and often broken, and items such as syringes were repeatedly used.

From there she went to work in a private clinic in Bassein in the delta area of Burma. It was during this time that the Burmese government decided to change the monetary system. Some of the currency became invalid and many people lost their life savings. This caused suffering for many people and especially for students and the poor. Some schools closed down and the student movement became stronger. Maung's mother became at this time and so she moved back to Moulmein to help care for her and to be close to her family. In 1987, Maung started working in a clinic in Eindu Village in Karen State. The village, which was on the main transit route between Hpa-An and Myawaddy was made up of three main ethnic groups: the Pa-O who earned their living mainly by weaving, the Mon who ran the small shops and businesses, and the Karen who made a small living from farming and agriculture. Living for all of these people was difficult and they all struggled to survive on a daily basis. Maung realised how poor the people were, how little they had and watched as they were forced into working for the military as soldiers and porters. Many village children were not able to attend school and from necessity helped the military in order to make a small amount of money so that they could survive. Taxation was high and diseases such as Tuberculosis widespread. The village had one small hospital but during her stay there was a doctor present for only 2–3 months and there were no medicine or supplies with which to treat the people.

During 1988 the pro-democracy movement and demonstrations increased. Maung joined up with other villagers and high school and university students who had returned to the village. They tried to work together with similar groups from other parts of the country to bring about positive change in Burma. There was a lot of tension, and parents were worried about their children and their safety. Communication and transportation avenues were cut off and the price of rice and commodities went higher and higher. There was confusion and fear among the people. On 19 September 1988 the military seized power, many activists disappeared, fled the country, or were forced to go into hiding. Many thousands of people moved quickly to the Thai–Burma border. On 21 September Dr. Cynthia and fourteen of her colleagues decided it was time for them to go also. With few provisions or personal belongings, they fled through the jungle for seven days. They travelled mainly at night and as they passed through remote villages, where the people had never seen health workers or had access to a hospital, they tried to treat the local people suffering from disease and injury with the limited supplies that they carried.

Mae Tao Clinic
On arrival in Thailand, Dr. Maung and her friends stopped at Mae La, opposite Be Claw refugee camp in Tha Song Yars district. Here Maung worked at a small hospital treating those fleeing the fighting. There was a lot of confusion as thousands of people tried to find their friends and families. There were many people with many different political ideas, and illnesses such as malaria were rife. Later, Maung moved to Hway Ka Loke refugee camp and it was while she was here that she made contact with Karen leaders responsible for student affairs and with local Thai authorities and church groups who were sympathetic to the plight of these people. Together, they tried to set up some systems to lessen the confusion and to bring a little order to the situation in the area. In November 1988, Maung moved to Mae Sot. She wanted to set up a centre for students needing somewhere to stay or requiring referral for further medical care. Mae Sot had a hospital where this could be done and from this time the Clinic began to develop a referral system with the local hospital which continues today. In February 1989, she was offered a dilapidated building with bare dirt floors on the outskirts of Mae Sot. Here, Dr. Cynthia went to work. Her makeshift clinic had few supplies and money. She improvised by sterilizing her few instruments in a rice cooker and solicited medicine and food from Catholic relief workers working in the area. She and her companions lived simply and worked hard to treat the increasing number of patients coming to the clinic with malaria, respiratory disease and diarrhea as well as gunshot wounds and land mine injuries. Malaria cases are still one of the most common diseases treated by the Mae Tao Clinic. As the years have passed, the type of patient attending the clinic has also changed. In the beginning, it was mainly students and young people escaping the fighting. Gradually, migrant workers began to come to the area in an effort to find work and money for their families at home. As time passed, their wives and families joined them. Today, there are also many children and adolescents who are dropping out of school and need a place of safety. As the population changes, so do the medical needs of those that the clinic serves. Today, one of the highest patient loads is in Reproductive Health and associated areas. Each year, over 2,700 babies are delivered at the clinic. The clinic's facilities and activities continue to grow. Currently, between 400 - 500 people on average come to the clinic each day, and there is a staff of about 700 providing comprehensive health services and child protection services. Total caseload exceeds 115,000 cases annually with a client number of over 75,000 per year.

Health services
Mae Tao Clinic provides inpatient and outpatient medical care for adults, children, reproductive health clients and surgical service patients. Other services include eye care, dental care, laboratory and blood bank services, prosthetics and rehabilitation, voluntary counseling and testing for HIV and counseling services. Severe cases (less than 1%) are referred to Mae Sot Hospital. Antiretroviral treatment and prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV is also conducted in collaboration with Mae Sot Hospital. Since the establishment of the Clinic, Thai Ministry of Public Health, Mae Sot Hospital and Mae Tao Clinic share information and experiences and have developed a positive working relationship. The Clinic also supports small satellite clinics set up in Burma, particularly in the IDP areas, to assist those who cannot reach the Clinic.

Hesperocyparis lusitanica

Hesperocyparis lusitanica, the Mexican cypress, cedar-of-Goa or Goa cedar, is a species of cypress native to Mexico and Central America (Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras). It has also been introduced to Belize, Costa Rica and Nicaragua, growing at 1200 - 3000 m altitude.

The scientific name lusitanica (of Portugal) refers to its very early cultivation there, with plants imported from Mexico to the monastery at Buçaco, near Coimbra in Portugal in about 1634; these trees were already over 130 years old when the species was botanically described by Miller in 1768.

In Mexico, the tree is also known as cedro blanco (white cedar) or teotlate.

Description
Hesperocyparis lusitanica is an evergreen conifer tree with a conic to ovoid-conic crown, growing to 40 m tall. The foliage grows in dense sprays, dark green to somewhat yellow-green in colour. The leaves are scale-like, 2–5 mm long, and produced on rounded (not flattened) shoots. The seed cones are globose to oblong, 10–20 mm long, with four to 10 scales, green at first, maturing brown or grey-brown about 25 months after pollination.

The cones may either open at maturity to release the seeds, or remain closed for several years, only opening after the parent tree is killed in a wildfire, allowing the seeds to colonise the bare ground exposed by the fire. The male cones are 3–4 mm long, and release pollen in late Winter / Early Spring (February–March in the northern hemisphere). In most of its natural environment the rainfall occurs with more quantity in summer.

Taxonomy
Hesperocyparis lusitanica was given its first scientific name by the botanist Philip Miller who named it Cupressus lusitanica in 1768, because he described it from collections made in Portugal. The species has a large number of synonyms and the species Hesperocyparis benthamii has been treated as variety or subspecies of H. lusitanica. In 2009 a paper was published moving this species and most of the New World Cupressus to the new genus Hesperocyparis. this is listed as the accepted species name with no subspecies or varieties by Plants of the World Online, World Flora Online, and the Gymnosperm Database.

Cultivation and uses
Fast-growing and drought tolerant, but only slightly frost tolerant, Hesperocyparis lusitanica has been introduced from Mexico to different parts of the world. It is widely cultivated, both as an ornamental tree and for timber production, in warm, temperate and subtropical regions around the world. Trees have not been selected for cultivation from northern Mexico populations, which have a heavy drought endurance.

Locations
Its cultivation and subsequent naturalisation in parts of southern Asia has caused a degree of confusion with native Cupressus species in that region; plants sold by nurseries under the names of Asian species such as Cupressus torulosa often prove to be this species.

It has been planted widely for commercial production: at high altitudes in Colombia (3300 m), Bolivia, Ethiopia and South Africa, and near sea level throughout New Zealand. In Colombia trees are planted to form windbreak hedges and for preventing soil erosion on slopes. It has been planted by Tanzanian mountain farmers for soil preservation and commercial use since the 1990s.

It has been planted as an ornamental tree near sea level in temperate climates and has done very well in Portugal, Buenos Aires Province in Argentina; Austin, Texas and the British Isles where it can reach a height of 30 m (90 feet).

It is being planted in the Argentine province of San Luis, Argentina at 1500 m above sea level to create artificial forests in a land originally lacking them in a very similar climate to that of its native habitat.

Wizja Le Cinema

Wizja Le Cinema was a Polish movie channel featuring famous and less known film productions from Europe and the rest of the world. Over the years, the owner, name, form and availability of the channel have changed. Initially, it was a channel of Wizja TV, available only on this platform and some cable networks. In fact, the channel only broadcast European films, though the productions from other parts of the world were rare on the channel. After merging Wizja TV with Cyfra+, the channel did not enter into the offer of the new platform. The name was also changed into Le Cinema and appeared in the rival Cyfrowy Polsat offer.

On April 19, 2003 the name was changed into Europa Europa.

Les (Laszlo) Banos Leslie Banos was born Laszlo Banos on August 16, 1923, to Bertha and Morris Banos in Nyirbator, Hungary. His father was Jewish, but his mother was not. Leslie's mother died before he turned one, so he was raised by his maternal aunt, Margrit Vanscak, and her husband in Budapest. He served in the Hungarian Nazi SS division while a spy for the Allies' OSS and surreptitiously used his SS role to hide and assist Jews, enabling a number of them to avoid concentration camps. He fled Hungary in 1947 when he was alerted that the Russian army was planning his arrest, and spent the next 3 years in a refugee camp in Bamberg, Germany. It was there that he met and married Georgine Bohrer. Their first son was born in November of 1950 and and in 1951 his family immigrated to the United States, finding their permanent home in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvanis

Renewable energy systems

Renewable energy is defined as "energy derived from resources that are regenerative or for all practical purposes can not be depleted." Renewable energy, also called alternative energy, is generally thought of as an alternative to conventional energy usually supplied by the combustion of fossil fuel such as oil, coal or natural gas. The prime source of renewable energy is solar radiation, i.e. sunlight. The Earth-Atmosphere system receives approximately 5.4 x 1024 joules per year in the solar radiation cycle (Sorensen, 2004). The solar irradiance at the top of the atmosphere is on average 1366 watts/meter-squared.

One of the main reasons for an interest in the development of renewable energy systems is a concern for the inevitable depletion of fossil reserves (See Hubbert peak theory) and the realization that it is the only viable means of achieving a truly sustainable society.

Required Knowledge
It would be useful to have a basic knowledge of energy and sources of energy.

Learning materials

 * Energy

 * Primary energy
 * Secondary energy

Classification
Renewable energy systems may be powered by:
 * ...others...

They also possess the characteristic of not being metered, in many cases, therefore can enable housholds and communities to exist "off-the-grid" thus enabling something that can be thought of as true independence.

Introduction to Swedish/Alphabet

The Swedish alphabet contains 29 letters:

Aa Bb Cc Dd Ee Ff Gg Hh Ii Jj Kk Ll Mm Nn Oo Pp Qq Rr Ss Tt Uu Vv Ww Xx Yy Zz Åå Ää Öö

The last three letters, Å, Ä, and Ö, are regarded as distinct letters, separate from A and O. Whereas in English you might use the term "A - Z", in Swedish it would be "A - Ö". Unlike in English, Y is always a vowel, except in the case of some loanwords. W has not been included in the Swedish alphabet for a long time, but since 2006 the Swedish Academy considers W as a separate letter. However, this is not fully accepted in dictionaries and other instances yet.

The Vowels
Vowels are divided into hard and soft vowels. When reading new Swedish words you should pay attention to whether the vowels are short or long. Each vowel has both a long and a short phonetic variant. The basic rule is that a vowel is short if it is followed by more than one consonant.

The Consonants
Most consonants can be doubled. The letter k can be doubled with c (like in rock n' roll.) The consonant c sounds like s when not combined with k (like the first c in bicycle). The letters z, q, and w are very uncommon but are used in family and company names. The letter m is not doubled at end of words with two exceptions, lamm and damm.

Examples of words with doubled consonants:

flabb, ledd, klaff, ragg, back, pall, damm, spinn, kupp, pirr, triss, titt

Initial g and k  If the first letter in a word is g and if the next letter is a soft vowel then the g is pronounced as a j. If the first letter in a word is k and if the next letter is a soft vowel then the k is pronounced as an sh.

Stress
Normally the stress is put on the first vowel. The tonality is more important in Swedish.

Tonality
Both nita and niten have the stress on the vowel i. However, the tonality differs. This is often a situational difference that varies from one word to the next. For more information on tone you can try the Wikipedia article on tone.

Typing Special Characters
On a PC:

Alt+0229 = å Alt+0197 = Å Alt+0228 = ä Alt+0196 = Ä Alt+0246 = ö Alt+0214 = Ö

On a Mac:

Option+a = å Option+A = Å Option+u to get ¨ then type a = ä Option+u to get ¨ then type A = Ä Option+u to get ¨ then type o = ö Option+u to get ¨ then type O = Ö

If you don't manage to get these characters, the standard way is to substitute å with aa, ä with ae, and ö with oe.

More Information on Pronunciation
For more detailed information on Swedish pronunciations read the Wikipedia article on Swedish phonology.

Exercise
Pronounce the following Swedish words.

1. skal, sno, tur, kår, ven, mil, syl, när, bör

2. stall, stopp, lupp, sådd, ett, stins, skyll, ärr, börs

3. vara, bliva, heta, kallas, äta, dricka, festa, leka

4. bilen, vägen, äpplet, trädet, smaken, tiken

5. kal, kotte, kul, kål, gam, gott, gurka, gås

6. ge, gick, gylf, Gävle, gök, kedja, kil, kyl, käk, kök

Wikiversity talk:Open Proxies

Proxy blocking <-- how is this related to all of the manual blocking that is going on here at Wikiversity? How does all this relate to w:Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/TawkerbotTorA? --JWSchmidt 07:11, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Online NMAP

 * Copied from m:Meta talk:WikiProject on open proxies:

Well, since no one else has offered, I went ahead and set one up. I've just finished configuring it for OP scanning (though I'm open to suggestions as to how to further fine-tune it), and I'm trying to keep it as utterly secure as possible. It will be running with root access; however, I've disabled loopback/localhost scans and every other dangerous exploit I could think of, and I'm going to be restricting access only to OP verified users of the MetaWikiProject and its sister projects. To request a password, please e-mail me. Details can be found here. I'll post this to enwiki too. AmiDaniel 00:51, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Infinite blocking on IP addresses
See here for some discussion related to dealing with open proxies. Adambro 15:11, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

 * I wonder if individual wikimedia projects even need to do this any more. I would imagine since blocking open proxies is suppose to be a global policy that Meta admins would simply globally block open proxies. -- dark lama  15:15, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm wondering about this.
 * My understanding is that the TorBlock will now block all Tor nodes so those don't need to be blocked locally any more. It is difficult to say how many of those IPs currently blocked are or were Tor nodes but I assume a good few are. In addition to Tor nodes, there will of course be other open proxies. However, seeing thousands of IPs blocked indefinitely gives me concerns about collateral damage. Some date back to 2006 and so it is likely many will no longer be used by open proxies.
 * As you note, in addition to the TorBlock extension, we now have global blocks and so that shrinks the number of open proxies we'll need to block locally even further.
 * I don't see an obvious way of dealing with this though. We could unblock all on the assumption that many will be inactive, block globally, or blocked by TorBlock, but it is difficult to judge how many open proxies we'd be unblocking in the process. Adambro 15:29, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

User:JWSchmidt/Blog/25 February 2007

Science, Protoscience, Pseudoscience  Continuing activity at Science and the nonphysical finally prompted my to get around to making Pseudoscience and Protoscience to complement What is science?. I'm now thinking about the possibility of starting something like Topic:Intelligent Design as a content development project within School:Doing science. If there really is a way to scientifically study anything, then it should be possible to have learning resources about how to conduct a scientific investigation into the possibility of Intelligent Design. However, my imagination only extends to a kind of expanded science of Topic:Exobiology that would involve searching for indications of an extraterrestrial intelligence that might have previously influence the course of life on Earth. This might also be a constructive direction along which to develop UFO research.

Another possibility would be to do something along the lines of Mind-Body Intervention. This could have the advantage of providing a sensible start to Complementary and Alternative Medicine within School:Medicine. Mind-Body Intervention does not even make the main page of the website for the U.S. National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Their main mind-body page lists 19 references that would be a reasonable reading list for a Wikiversity learning project.

I noticed today that the article "A community experiment with fully open and published peer review" says this, "The journal will publish 'essentially anything', even papers that receive three unanimously negative reviews, the only conditions being that three Editorial Board members agree to review (or solicit a review for) the manuscript and that the work qualifies as scientific (not pseudoscientific as is the case for intelligent design or creationism) – and, of course, that the author wants his/her paper published alongside the reviews it receives."

Intego

Intego is a Mac and Windows security software company founded in 1997 by Jean-Paul Florencio and Laurent Marteau.

The company creates Internet security software for macOS and Windows, including: antivirus, firewall, anti-spam, backup software and data protection software.

Intego currently has offices in the U.S. in Seattle, Washington, and Austin, Texas, and international offices in Paris, France, and Nagano, Japan. All of Intego's products are universal binaries, and are supported in several languages: English, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish, and previously Italian.

History
Co-founded by former CEO Laurent Marteau and Jean-Paul Florencio and based in Paris, France, Intego released its first antivirus product in 1997: Rival, an antivirus for Mac OS 8. Two years later in July 1999, Intego released NetBarrier, the first personal security software suite for Mac OS 8. Then in October 2000, Intego released its legacy antivirus software, VirusBarrier 1.0, for Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9.

Intego launched The Mac Security Blog, a blog that covers Mac security news, Apple security updates, Mac malware alerts, as well as news and opinion pieces related to Apple products, in mid-2007. The company launched a podcast in October 2017, called the Intego Mac Podcast.

Intego released its current X9 version of antivirus and security software in June 2016, which has since had several under-the-hood updates, including compatibility with new macOS releases and Apple silicon processors.

Kape Technologies announced in July 2018 that it was acquiring Intego to "enhance [Kape's] arsenal of products in cyber protection."

Intego released a Windows version of its antivirus software in July 2020.
