Talk:Christian Laettner

Untitled
Why was the information about his $25million in judgements to creditors removed? It is well sourced and included links to newspaper accounts regarding the Johnny Dawkins attorney's attempts to have Laetnner and Davis found in contempt for failure to divulge financial records (Dawkins is one of the aforementioned creditors). I thought this was an information repository not a fan boy page.<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 09:35, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

I added the part about him pretending to be gay. It's not poorly sourced; there are quotes from Krszyweski saying he planted quotes in the paper to further the rumor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:24, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

There is no way the stomp has overshadowed his game winning shot against Kentucky. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs)
 * I agree. You can't turn on a TV in March without seeing his shot, and the stomp has retreated back into the pack of other "Laettner's a jerk" things.  The stomp belongs in here, but that particular sentence doesn't, so I've taken it out and reworded the passage a bit. -Colin Kimbrell 14:36, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Do very many people really consider Laettner "the greatest college basketball player of all time"? Most people agree he had an extraordinary college career, but I've never met anyone who has said he's the best EVER.
 * No, almost no one would consider him the best of all time. --Liface 06:55, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm not positive but I would imagine that JJ Redick broke Laettner's record for three point field goal percentage this year

Does anyone know if Christian Laettner Retired?
I have lost track. He has been on so many teams and injured so much that I don't know if he is even playing anymore.

Yes, he retired to his home in Florida. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dukerulez32 (talk • contribs) 02:56, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

DRUG USAGE

I think this article should comment on the end of his career, and also his drug usage. He's painted pretty favourably in the article, i'm not bashing him or being anti, just, his downfall should be commented upon...he did fail 3 drug tests...

see: sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=1707573
 * I added that material. Does anybody know if he recieved treatment for his drug addiction or if he is still using drugs?--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:29, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Timberlake
It doesn't matter to me whether it says "stepped" or "stomped". "Intentionally" is the word that matters. I think the article is fair and well-documented now. Thanks Dubc0724 18:18, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

 * If it doesn't matter then why did you replace "Laettner also became known among Kentucky fans for another incident in the same Duke-Kentucky game. As Kentucky's Aminu Timberlake was lying on the floor after a foul, Laettner appeared to intentionally step on his chest, allegedly in retaliation for a foul earlier in the game." with this: "Laettner also became known among Kentucky fans for another incident in the same Duke-Kentucky game. As Kentucky's Aminu Timberlake was lying on the floor after a foul, Laettner intentionally stomped on his chest, allegedly in retaliation for a foul earlier in the game" ? :) Duke53 18:31, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Because stomp was a better description of what he did. However, it's easier to let it go and use "stepped" than to try to find a source using the exact word "stomped" in order to pacify you. That's all. Thanks Dubc0724 18:37, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * PS All three sources worked; and at least one included "stomp". :-) Dubc0724 18:38, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

 * For someone who professes that " ... I also have enough respect for the encyclopedia we're supposedly working on to produce good faith edits, rather than push my POV." you seem to have pushed your POV a few times lately.

 * Remember, this is supposed to be an encyclopedia, not a fan site. Duke53 19:00, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Not sure what you're talking about. Most all I've done lately is provide sources as requested, most of which are sources for edits other than my own.  Just tryin' to help. Dubc0724 19:20, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

 * At 15:00, August 21, 2006, on the Duke University page, you added to "The graduation rate of Duke's football players is consistently among the highest among Division I-A schools" the following qualifier: because Duke players rarely reach the NFL. NPOV? Not in your wildest wet dream. Weasel words? You betcha. If you're gonna preach then follow your own guidelines. I'm not going to waste time by citing other instances, but they are there. Duke53 19:46, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

 * "Duke football players rarely reach the NFL" is true. There are no weasel words in there; you might want to consult WP:Weasel for more information.  I will admit that it was poorly worded and Duke fans editors reverted it.  Perhaps when I have more time, I can substantiate it.  But for now it's not a priority. It does however make me feel all warm & fuzzy to know that reading all my edits means so much to you.  Thanks! Dubc0724 19:54, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Kentucky football players rarely make the NFL - so why is Kentucky's grad rate for football so low? Your edit was a stupid cheap shot that belongs on idiotic football messageboards and fan sites, not on Wikipedia.

 * Care to define 'rarely'? Duke53 19:58, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, yeah - that's what I meant when I said "when I have more time, I can substantiate it". I agree that rarely was a poor choice of words. Geez, I said I was wrong already... :-) Dubc0724 20:03, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

 * You don't read my edits and comments? Meh.

 * Take your time on that edit, it would have to be a dandy.Duke53 23:01, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

The whole mention of the Timberlake incident is so trivial with respect to Laettner's career, I don't think it even belongs here. Only KY fans would feel the need for it to be here. Why don't we discuss other fouls as well? Over 4 years, I guess he had quite a few. That would be an interesting discussion. The fact is, mention of the incident - if it belongs anywhere - might be a better fit for Timberlake's wiki entry if anyone would care to create one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cfstick (talk • contribs)

 * It's notable because it was a big deal at the time. It wasn't about a "foul" in the normal sense.  Love him or hate him, Laettner was not typically a "dirty" player, so his actions in the Kentucky game stood out like a sore thumb.  And it was especially memorable given his otherwise flawless performance in that game. Dubc0724 18:51, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

By the way, Laettner's last second shot was not a bankshot

I'm not a Duke, UNC or Kentucky fan, but watching this edit war develop has been sad. I reviewed a tape of the incident in question and I would have to say that while Laettner's actions were certainly unsporting, if a 6-11, 245 lb. man 'stomps' his foot in your stomach and you get up at all, it’s not much of a stomp. Additionally, it was fifteen years ago. Let it go! Put that energy to better use and work on some other article that could use your help. Вasil | talk 14:09, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I've removed the stepping/stomping incident paragraph. The incident, while perhaps notable at the time, was sixteen years ago and is not what Laettner is know most known for. The paragraph was also the subject of a lame edit war, so perhaps removing it will settle things down. I also switched two other paragraphs around for better flow. alanyst /talk/ 04:33, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

HOF Status
Just so there's no misunderstandings, the entire 1992 "Dream Team" was inducted into the HOF as a team. So this would make Laettner a HOFer. Guys like Jordan, Bird, Magic, etc. would then be considered two-time HOFers (going in as individuals, and as part of the Dream Team). Vjmlhds (talk) 00:53, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Laettner is NOT considered a HOFer on his own. That's why guys like Jordan and Ewing get inducted as individuals. Rikster2 (talk) 16:17, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Small typo
"The shot was also named the most memorable basketball shot of all-time (including the NBA, college, and high school) by The Best Damn Sports Show Period in 2007.[9] and the fifth most unforgettable sports moment of all-time across all sports in 2006."

Period after 2007 should be removed.

Infobox
Why I trimmed the infobox: To quote my prior edit comment, "prune items from infobox that are either insignificant or redundant to those already prominent in the text." Insisting on a one-size-fits-all infobox is ham-fisted; rather, the box's fields should be tailored to enhance the article. My trimmed one is better because it a) only adds relevant info not already in the body and b) doesn't extend past the intro & TOC (at least on my screen) whereas the old one extends way too far down, even after hiding the medal list and c) is not too NBA-heavy, which is important for Laettner because virtually all of his significance is his college career. -Testpored (talk) 04:18, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I am going to ask that you hold off on this will I invite other editors to discuss. Laettner is hardly unique and it is incorrect to say virtually all of his significance is as a college player - he was an NBA All-Star and an Olympic Gold medalist.  The infobox has had a LOT of discussion and you are deleting valuable fields - it is meant to encapsulate his total career so some repetition is expected.  Also, you are doing things like eliminating the college, draft and high school fields, which are important. I ask others to weigh in. Rikster2 (talk) 04:44, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * "only adds relevant info not already in the body": This is contrary to MOS:INFOBOX: "the purpose of an infobox: to summarize key facts that appear in the article." As a point of reference, here is the current style guide for NBA bios: WikiProject National Basketball Association/Style advice. Feel free to suggest improvements. While exceptions are sometimes needed, articles are generally consistent.—Bagumba (talk) 05:25, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I emphatically disagree with your changes and your reasoning in support of them. Redundancy between the infobox and the article is not a fault—it's completely expected and necessary in a well-developed article. The infobox exists to highlight key characteristics, accomplishments, etc., in the most distilled format possible. One would naturally expect and hope that such things would be covered more thoroughly in prose throughout the article. Your changes render the existence of the multifarious infobox fields completely superfluous, facilitate no easier access to information, and are at complete variance with the practice—developed over time through consensus—in thousands of articles on other sports figures. Indeed, your justifications for your changes contradict the stated purposes of all Wiki infoboxes. I cannot think of a single good reason in support of this change. João Do Rio (talk) 05:36, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

I respect the fact that the three of you have made countless basketball-related edits and have arrived at an infobox format over time. As this is the only basketball article I've done extensive edits to, I was solely focused on improving this article and had no cause to think of other ones. Seeing how you're rather adamant on this item, I'll leave it be with only one minor change - hiding the medal list by default, e.g. Serena Williams. -Testpored (talk) 12:50, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I've started a related discussion on handling of medals at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Basketball.—Bagumba (talk) 17:24, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Lead getting sparser
An earlier version of the lead, which was already (too) limited, has been trimmed as of this latest version. Per MOS:INTRO: "The lead section should briefly summarize the most important points covered in an article in such a way that it can stand on its own as a concise version of the article." Instead of trimming back his non-college accomplishments, his college highlights should be enhanced to provide due weight in the lead. I proposing at a minimum to restoring the previous lead, with no prejudice to emphasizing his college legacy further thereafter.—Bagumba (talk) 16:53, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Disagree. The whole reason I started editing this page in the first place over a month ago (permalink to my first edit) was because the lead was weak: no mention of Kentucky shot or hatred. The current one concisely summarizes what makes him significant without any of the secondary points already in the body. -Testpored (talk) 17:06, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree that the first paragraph of the lead should emphasize his college notability. However, what is the rationale for excluding other major accomplishments from subsequent paragraphs in the lead e.g. 1st round pick of 1992 NBA draft, his current role as a coach, or his induction into Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as member of Olympic team. Information like his draft team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, or his representing the Atlanta Hawks as an All-Star, also put his career in proper context. These do not seem like "secondary points", as they rob those who will only read the lead of a concise summary.—Bagumba (talk) 17:37, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Good points about the draft pick and mentioning All-Star was with the Hawks. I'll add those now. But the Dream Team HOF to me doesn't need to be mentioned in the intro because he was the 12th man, and it already emphasizes how prestigous it was for him to be the only collegiate selected in the first place. Plus their HOF is clearly stated twice in the article. To me a brief tenure as D-Leauge assistant only merits brief mention in the body, as it is now. -Testpored (talk) 20:43, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I mistakenly thought he was still a coach, so I'm OK with leaving it out. As for Olympic team HOF, it's quite an honor, 12th man or not, and I don't consider the lead to be too long to necessitate trimming this. To a non-basketball fan, the team's impact would be easier to grasp than a Neologism like "Dream Team" in the lead.—Bagumba (talk) 22:03, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Added HOF to intro & fixed infobox. -Testpored (talk) 22:40, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

NBA Career
I believe there should be a little more detail about his NBA career. For a man who spent 12 seasons playing, there are surely more details to be published. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:09, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

While there is a lot of information about Laettner's early life and his high school and college basketball careers there is not much about his nba life and post-basketball life. There's only several sentences about each his nba life and post-nba life yet it takes up the majority of his life. They don't talk about his suspension for marijuana use much or his one all-star season with the Hawks, there could have been much more time spent on his nba career. There is an over-emphasis on his ability to perform in the clutch during his basketball career. There are several reliable sources in the references section coming from ESPN, nytimes, and basketball reference and most of the links work as well.

Quiz Question
In a newspaper in the UK there was a quiz question that stumped me, I'd be grateful for any hints.

The question is: In one season of a football (soccer) league, one sixth of the goals were scored by defenders, two and a half times as many strikers, eighteen were own goals, and the remaining quarterby midfielders. If none were scored by goalkeepers, how many were scored by strikers? I added 1/6th to 5/12ths and thought that the total ( including the 18) would represent three quarters of the total and tried to solve for n, but got it wrong. What I can't understand is the own goals. As the could be scored by anyone, I can't see how you can write an equation that allocates them to any category. The answer is 45. Could anyone tell me how to solve it, many thanks.Widneymanor (talk) 10:21, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I think you had the right method, but made an error in your arithmetic somewhere (or ended up looking for the wrong value). Since the soccer team contains only defenders, strikers, midfielders, and goalkeepers, own goals must not be counted in the other totals (possibly because they aren't thought of as the player "scoring").  3n/4 - 1n/6 - (2.5)n/6 = 9n/12 - 2n/12 - 5n/12 = 2n/12 = 18, so n/12=9, so 5n/12=45 (the number scored *by strikers*) MChesterMC (talk) 10:42, 2 February 2015 (

Thank you very muchWidneymanor (talk) 13:34, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Probability of cashing in
If I place a $1 bet on a six horse accumulator each day, and I always bet on the favourites, given that a favourite horse will win about 1/3 of the time, how many days will I have to bet before I win?

(I know statistics doesnt work like that but I'm not sure how to phrase the question - is it how many days do I need to bet before my chances of winning become 1? I know I could still bet forever and not win but I hope you understand the thrust of the question.) <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 10:45, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * A good question to ask is what is the expected number of times to bet until you win. The answer is 3.
 * A different question is how many days to bet until your probability of winning at least one is greater than $$p$$. The answer is $$\frac{\log(1-p)}{\log(2/3)}$$, rounding as necessary. -- Meni Rosenfeld (talk) 12:34, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks - although I think if there was one horse with 3.1 odds I would have to bet 3 times, but this is a six-horse accumulator, meaning each horse needs to win, each with a 33% chance of winning the race. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:15, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I forgot to mention that I have no idea what "six horse accumulator" means. I assumed that each day you bet on a horse, each day you have a probability of 1/3 to win, and the different bets are independent of each other. -- Meni Rosenfeld (talk) 14:38, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Until we hear back on what an accumulator is in this sense, here's some WP articles that relate to the problem at hand: Martingale_(betting_system), Martingale_(probability_theory), Gambler's_fallacy, Gambler's ruin, Mathematics_of_bookmaking, Horse_racing. SemanticMantis (talk) 15:20, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Apologies, you choose 6 horses and place a $1 bet. If the first one wins, the money won rolls to the second etc. If they all win, you get the payout. Assuming each horse has a 1/3 chance of winning, what is the expected number of days I need to bet in order to win? (assuming I have phrased that correctly, see above) <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:43, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

 * If there is a six horse accumulator bet then the horses selected in each of six races must win for the bet to pay off. If each horse has a probability of winning of 1/3 then the probability that all six will win is (1/3)^6, which is 1/729. That is, this bet will pay off successfully, on average, once every 729 days. Further, if you start following this strategy today the "expected" number of days before your first win will be 729 days. What mathematicians mean by "expected" is "the average number of days you'll have to wait"; you might get lucky and get your first win before this time, or you might be unlucky and have to wait much longer, but "on average" you'll have to wait 729 days. RomanSpa (talk) 16:52, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Also note that there is no number of bets that will guarantee a win. The more bets you make, the better your chance of having a win, but that chance never gets to 100%.  And, by the time you do win, you are likely to have lost more money than you won. StuRat (talk) 16:57, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Pólya Problem to Prove (Part I Chap 19)
Pólya's hypothetical teacher poses the following problem to prove to the hypothetical student: ''Two angles are in different planes but each side of one is parallel to the corresponding side of the other, and also has the same direction. Prove that such angles are equal. Through some work, he introduces the auxiliary problem to solve, adding an extra line segment, turning the angles into triangles, and going to prove that the triangles are congruent, but it gets to where the "teacher" says "Did you use the hypothesis? What is the hypothesis?" And the "student" says "We suppose that AB || A'B', AC || A'C'. Yes, of course, I must use that." But then the "teacher" says: "Did you use the whole hypothesis? You say that AB || A'B'. Is that all you know about these lines?" and the "student" says: "No; AB is also equal to A'B', by construction. They are parallel and equal to each other. And so are AC and A'C'."''

That last statement by the "student" is what I don't get from the original problem statement. I copied the original problem statement verbatim in full. From that first italicized bit of text at the beginning of my question, where is it to be gotten that any line from one angle is also equal to any other by construction? It seems to me only to say the angles are in different planes, and that corresponding sides are parallel and in the same direction. I don't see anything about construction or how I can assume lengths are equal from that statement. Can anyone explain? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:34, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Here's my attempt to reconstruct (in outline) the proof Pólya has in mind; not sure that it explains the statement but it can't hurt. First prove a lemma (*) that if AB = A'B' and AB || A'B' and in the same direction, then AA'B'B is a parallelogram. This should be easy, even if you don't assume the points are in the same plane. Note the lemma is false if AB and A'B' are in opposite directions; you get a self intersecting quadrilateral.

 * We are given two angles A, A' with corresponding sides parallel and in the same direction. Add points B, B', on corresponding sides so AB = A'B' and C, C' on the other sides so AC = A'C'. AB || A'B' and AC || A'C' so AA'B'B and AA'C'C are parallelograms by (*). Then BB' = AA' = CC' and BB' || AA' || CC'. Apply (*) again to get BB'C'C a parallelogram. This gives you BC = B'C' and, with AB = A'B' and AC = A'C', ABC ≝ A'B'C'. --RDBury (talk) 17:19, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

percentage
Is 0.3408 % 0.0408 percent than 0.3 % or 13.6 % greater? — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:56, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

 * It depends on the base:

0.3408% is 0.0408% of 100 more than 0.3%

0.3408% is 13.6% of 0.3 more than 0.3%

 * Now, where would you use each ? Let's say the interest rate on your checking account just went up from 0.3% to 0.3408%.  The bank might claim that's a 13.6% increase, but you will only make .0408% more on your money, so I'd use that figure.  In other words, you're still not getting much. StuRat (talk)

So if 0.3 % of population group A has a disease, and 0.3408 % of group b has a disease, group b has 0.0408 percent more people with disease than group a.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:01, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

BIOGRAPHY

Marcin Malinowski was born and grew up in Gdynia, Poland, a port city on the Baltic Sea. He got musical education in Gdańsk and started working as a professional musician in the Tri-City (Trójmiasto) area. He participated in various musical stage productions, different projects of local bands and cultural institutions in Poland and abroad.

In 2001 Marcin moved to Warsaw where he worked as a session / freelance musician in addition to his own individual / solo projects. He performed with different bands in various styles (jazz, fusion, hip-hop). During that period he also worked as a music tutor.

Article about a children's book and a film made from it. The book is this one, and it seems from this thread that the publisher is a vanity press (author pays).

Wikiversity:Wikiversity teachers

In this resource the people here set out to orientate you, as a teacher, in the use and potential of Wikiversity for teaching. Anyone can take on a teaching role at Wikiversity, regardless of their background. You can participate in learning activities and create learning resources. Educators, school teachers, university professors, teacher trainees, group leaders in the informal educator sector, and students in a conventional education institution can teach as well. Other roles which might interest you include: learner, researcher, custodian.

Is Wikiversity a "university", a school, a playground or what?
Yes to all.

The word "university" is derived from the Latin “universitas”, which is short for "universitas magistrorum et scholarium", meaning roughly "community of masters and scholars". At Wikiversity, the terms "learner" and "teacher" are likely to be used rather than "scholar" and "master". The distinction between learners and teachers at Wikiversity is fuzzy. As soon as a student learns something, they are expected to share what they have learned with the community and so they become the teacher.

A playground is no less a place of learning than the most venerable of universities. Wikiversity is everything from playground to research institute, and it does not discriminate or judge anyone for being more one than the other.

However in one sense, Wikiversity is neither university nor school: it has no accreditation as such, because it is not an institution that grants university degrees or school leaving/graduation certificates. You can find out more here about what Wikiversity is and what Wikiversity is not.

How can I use Wikiversity in my teaching?
The fundamental principle is: any way you like.

Wikiversity uses the same software as Wikipedia, and this software is called MediaWiki. MediaWiki is primarily a collaborative authoring environment, also known as a place where people make things together! In general, any kind of classroom activity which can use collaborative authoring in any sense can be fruitfully transferred onto the MediaWiki platform. Collaborative authoring is good for any kind of group work.

On the other hand, you know, of course, that the MediaWiki platform is also used for Wikipedia, which is a collection of encyclopedia articles. The MediaWiki platform therefore also lends itself naturally to use as a repository of learning materials for individual study. Projects and resources can, of course, double up in their roles for group work and individual study.

While we are open to experimentation with new forms of learning, we also know that teachers may prefer tried and tested methods, so we help you both with experimentation, and with finding out about existing forms of learning which use MediaWiki.

Existing forms of learning
Many other educators have experimented with MediaWiki before you, and they have produced both many practical examples of learning resources and theoretical articles about using MediaWiki for teaching.

Some examples

 * Collaborative Learning/Examples
 * Bloom clock project
 * War Seminar
 * Science as Religion

Places where you can find lists of learning resources

 * The learning projects portal

Places where you can find theoretical material

 * The Wikiversity e-learning model
 * Teaching
 * Learning
 * Learning projects
 * Learning resources

Experimental forms of learning
If you think of a new way of using the MediaWiki platform for learning, you are welcome, and please tell us about it! You may also be interested in looking at interactive learning resources and the sandbox server project.

How do I start to create materials or learning projects?
Take a few minutes to browse the Wikiversity content. Since Wikiversity is new, a webpage for the topic you are looking for may not have been created yet. Enter a possible page name in the Search field (upper right hand corner of the Wikiversity page display, normally) and Enter (or click on the search symbol). If the page does not exist, you'll see, at the bottom of the search results, "Create the page [Pagename] on this wiki!" Clicking on the Pagename will open an edit window from which you can create the page. When you save the page, congratulations! You are now a Wikiversity editor and participant!

 * For more technically-orientated information, see Help:Editing and ask questions.
 * For more educationally-orientated information, see learning projects.

Where do the students come from? Can I bring my own?
"Anywhere" and "yes". Anyone can learn from the materials or projects which you create here. But you are also very welcome to bring your own. Very often a particular project will have learners who have come here with their teacher, but this is by no means always the case. See also: Learning projects.

What are the admissions requirements? Are there fees?
Wikiversity is open to all who are interested in learning or contributing what they know. There are no fees and no admissions requirements. There aren't even any passwords or other access restrictions. Many virtual learning environments are full of passwords and even payment requirements for courses, but you will find none of this at Wikiversity - everything is open and free. See also: Open Educational Resources

If I teach, will I get paid, or can I charge my students?
No, no fees are collected or paid for participation in Wikiversity. Everything is voluntary. Wikiversity is free to all who want to learn.

You can freely charge your students on your own. Wikiversity content can freely be used commercially.

However, if you create Wikiversity content with the intention of then being paid for teaching it, or for participation in Wikiversity, this may create a conflict of interest, which, by the Terms of Use, must be disclosed.

Wikiversity has participating professors at brick-and-mortar universities who are paid for teaching (by the university, indirectly by students and others) and who use Wikiversity for this purpose. It must be transparent.

Can my students obtain any kind of certification at Wikiversity?
No. That's one thing we don't do. At the moment you cannot earn credentials here. But you can learn here and then earn your credentials elsewhere. Often a teacher may come here with their own students, and of course, what the students do here can count towards their achievements at the real-world institution they and their teacher come from. But Wikiversity cannot get involved in the assessment process.

Are there exams at Wikiversity?
Some course leaders may post some questionnaires so you can get feedback on your learning progress. Course leaders may also give personal feedback on their observations of your progress. Forms of assessment are purely in the hands of those participants who have a teaching role. Wikiversity may provide tools to assist with this process, such as the ability to embed interactive quizzes into pages. See also: making quizzes on Wikiversity.

If I'm doing a course-like project, can anyone join it?
There is no such thing as a closed course at Wikiversity, because everything is open. If someone wants to use the resources you have created, or join in with a course-like project, you can't stop them - in fact, quite the opposite - our principles of civility and assume good faith oblige you to be nice to them. On the other hand, you are not obliged to actively teach them. The learning projects article has more information about this.

How reliable is the material on Wikiversity?
There's no simple black-and-white answer to this question. Realistically you should use your best judgement. Factual errors generally get squeezed out fairly quickly. Matters of point of view and opinion take longer to generate consensus. In matters of authenticity and reliability we encourage you to contact editors of pages of interest and query them. Go to the "history" tab of any page of interest and discover who has edited that page. The general idea of wiki-editing is that low quality materials will slowly improve over time as more and more editors use and modify them.

Can I download materials here and use them in my own offsite classes? What are the terms of their use?
You are absolutely free to download and use our materials in your teaching. You can print and photocopy unlimited numbers of copies. Our content is licenced under a free licence (GFDL) - basically, requiring that the content be distributed in a similar licence and with attribution for the content's creators - see the complete licence details and terms. You are also able - encouraged - to help revise our materials. Better yet, you could post your revisions back to Wikiversity. Also post your experiences using the materials to the page's Discussion area. Give back and make Wikiversity better.

How can I determine whether the material here is any good?
By questioning, and by striving to understand the material yourself. It's your judgment call. If you can make it better, go ahead and edit. Note that every page has a "talk page" where you can post your observations and questions. You can review the "history" of a page, see who wrote which version and enter into dialogue with these individuals. Together we can, and will, make the material here stronger and stronger.

See also: Developing high quality educational resources for more information on this topic.

What if someone wrecks a perfectly good course?
If you see a page which appears (at least in your eyes) to have been degraded from an earlier version, then enter into the editing process. It's good practice to start by contacting the editor who made the changes you feel are unfortunate. Propose a compromise. Discuss your feelings on the "talk page". Don't be afraid to be bold. Integrate what you liked about the older version into the current version. Use the "history" tab at the top of the page to compare any two versions of a page and see what changed.

If you can't find a compromise with existing editors, then there's also the option of "forking" a course into two equivalent and equal versions covering the same subject but in different styles. In simpler terms, this just means that you take the earlier version which you liked, and create a new page to contain the older version.

See also: learning projects, which has more information on this topic.

Can I or my students have our own user pages?
Absolutely. A clickable tab for it will appear at the top of every Wikiversity page. Use your personal page any way you like. Introduce yourself, add pictures. Best of all, add Wikiversity page links and other links you frequently visit. Your page will greatly help in your own navigation and help others connect with you. You'll also get a separate Talk page where others can post messages for you. [ Create your free membership here.]

From the learning point of view, what is different from Wikipedia to Wikiversity?
Wikipedia has a narrow mission: the creation of encyclopedia articles. Wikiversity has a broader mandate to explore how to use wiki technology to promote learning.

Do you have learning resources which help students learn about editing this site?
Yes.

 * A tutorial for adding content
 * Another introductory tutorial
 * Article about adding content

Do you have learning resources which help people learn about Wikiversity?
Yes.

 * Introduction to Wikiversity - provides basic information and orientation for new visitors to Wikiversity.
 * Intermediate Wikiversity - you've made some edits to Wikiversity, now you need help so that you can get serious and edit efficiently.
 * Wikiversity (the rest of the story) - details about Wikiversity that only the obsessed Wikimedian would care about.
 * Learning by doing

See also: Topic:Wikiversity.

How to mark your pages as complete?

 * Completed Resources

When you have completed creating a resource page, a lesson or a course, you can use the new marking system for telling everyone your completion status. Instructions how to do this are at Help:Resources by completion status

 * Completed Lessons and  Courses

A new list is being created to list the completed (or almost completed) lessons and courses at Wikiversity. Contact User:Robert Elliott at Completed courses.

Sandler Center for the Performing Arts

The Sandler Center for the Performing Arts is a $47.5 million performing arts theater with 1,308 seats located in Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States in Town Center. Commonly known as the Sandler Center, the building opened on November 3, 2007. It has been operated by Spectra Venue Management since its opening. Named after Hampton Roads businessmen, philanthropists, and brothers Steve and Art Sandler. In addition to hosting concerts, comedians, forums, military events and other events, local resident companies call the Sandler Center home: Ballet Virginia, Virginia Symphony Orchestra, Virginia Musical Theatre, Virginia Arts Festival, Virginia Beach Forum, Virginia Beach Chorale, Tidewater Winds, and Symphonicity.

In addition to the 1,308 seat performance hall, the Sandler Center has various rooms throughout the building. The Miller Studio Theatre is a 2,200-square-foot room that can fit 200 (standing room only) to 125 people (seated). This theatre is equipped with ballet bars, sprung floor, and its own lighting. The Bill and Anne Wood Founders Room is a 900-square-foot room that has a private terrace overlooking Virginia Beach Town Center. This room can fit 60 (standing room only) to 50 people (seated). The Sandler Center also has two carpeted classrooms on the second floor equipped with movable tables, chairs, and podiums. Each floor has its own lobby looking out on to the Sandler Center plaza. The grand lobby is 5,200-square-feet.

The Sandler Center is also home to the Sandler Center Foundation. The Foundation is involved in education, community outreach programs and performance underwriting. The Sandler Center Foundation partners with Virginia Arts Festival to underwrite performers such as Renee Fleming, Bernstein on Broadway, and Tony Bennett. Proceeds from Ynot Wednesdays, an outdoor summer concert series, benefits the Sandler Center Foundation. From 2008-2018, $289,000 was donated to the Sandler Center Foundation.

History
In 2001, the Virginia Beach City Council began plans to build its own cultural center. The Council began plans to replace the 1000-seat Pavilion Theatre. More than 300 workers and 35 subcontractors had a hand in the construction.

The Sandler Center for the Performing Arts was dedicated in November 2007. Itzhak Perlman was the first artist to perform at the Sandler Center on November 3, 2007.

Volunteers
Over 200 volunteers work at the Sandler Center. The estimated national value of each volunteer hour is $25.43, as of 2018. This allows the City of Virginia Beach to save on average 500,000 dollars each year.

Noteworthy performers

 * Itzhak Perlman
 * Renee Fleming
 * Chris Botti
 * Disney Frozen Jr.
 * Family Feud Live Celebrity Edition
 * Melissa Etheridge
 * Tony Bennett
 * BB King
 * Willie Nelson

Talk:Carolyn Meinel

Untitled
There seems to be a lot of info about Fred Villella and not about Meinel. It needs to be moved to another article.

When does bio ... become attack?
Indeed, I was struck by the same thing the above comment noted. In fact, how strange that two paragraphs / three sentences about the topic of the article, are followed by a looonnng paragraph of seven sentences about other people. Including attacks on those other people. And the first edit by the most recent contributor removed "... the drama ... seems to have faded ...", followed by more edits to, umm, put the drama back? Shenme 13:00, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

On the removal of the accusation of slander
Wikipedia has a policy of higher standards when it comes to living persons (See: WP:LIVING). For that reason I removed this as it comes from a single individual (also seems to hid his or her identity). Lots more evidence would be needed to indicate a longer term trend. Jeff Carr 02:40, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

At the end of the article, at least as of 23:43, 30 July 2008, the article says, "Meinel married her first husband, Howard Keith Henson, in 1967 and divorced in 1989 because he molested her daughters." It uses a source from one of the victims, or alleged victims, however there are no charges against Howard Keith Henson, and no verdict. Hence, it can't be stated as fact that he has in fact molested C. Meinel's daughters. Should correct this, what do you think? Thaum1el (talk) 22:41, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

May not be a RS, due to scientology brainwashing, but source is clear.
Since this is a biography of a living person then I can somewhat agree that her daughter's views of Keith Henson are not a RS. After all he is a critic of the Church of Scientology, which his daughter is a member. It would not be the first time a church member made such "repressed" comments. I still somewhat believe that the source is clear (not that type of clear), and should be included, all be it cleaned up a little. Yet the rules are firm, an RS is an RS period, even someones daughter. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:15, 19 August 2008 (UTC)some.canadian.ip.address

 * The way you're talking about reliable sources makes me wonder if you've ever read what Wikipedia means by "reliable sources". You talk about "someones  [sic] daughter" being an RS but I do not even know if it is possible to say that a person is an RS. -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:06, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Since When does Meinel Support Script kiddies?
One of the first things I noticed when I read Meinel's bio is that it says her style of hacking is 'script kiddie.' The person who wrote this must have never actually looked at her website or read her books. If there was one thing she was against it was script kiddies. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:28, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I can say I'm against Creationism until I'm blue in the face, it doesn't change the simple fact that, if I'm saying human beings are the product of intelligent design, I'm promoting a Creationist ideology. Badger Drink (talk) 07:50, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Propose alternate article
I received wikitext by email from Meinel's ex-husband as a suggested improvement for the article. Unfortunately, I have not had time to carefully review it, but have replaced the article text with it, then self-reverted. The received version was this. The new version looks better to me. If there is no objection within a reasonable time, and on further personal review, I intend to restore it. (I'm seeing some strangeness with the wikitext. Maybe it's tornado weather. Obviously that would have to be fixed.) --Abd (talk) 01:45, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The only real difference is the list of books and publications. I have added it with a few tweaks. --Enric Naval (talk) 08:11, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Organic Chemistry/Introduction to reactions/Hydrohalogenation

A simple alkene undergoing hydrohalogenation

Alkenes are electron-rich. Just look at those electrons all clumped together in the carbon-carbon double bond. They act as Lewis bases (they give up electrons).

Hydrohalogenation follows Markovnikov's rule. That is, the carbon of the double bond that starts out more substituted receives the halogen (becomes more substituated) while the carbon of the double bond that starts out less substituted ends up with the hydrogen.

''He who has, gets: This is another alkene illustrating hydrohalogenation. Notice how the more highly substituated carbon ends up with the X-''

The H+ is attracted to the electron-rich double bond and adds first, on the carbon with more hydrogens, leaving the other carbon with a positive charge (a carbocation). Then the X- reacts with the carbocation.

Cookbook:Cuisine of Morocco

| African Cuisines

Moroccan cuisine has long been considered as one of the most diversified cuisines in the world. The reason is because of the interaction of Morocco with the outside world for centuries. The cuisine of Morocco is a mix of Arab, Berber, Moorish, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean African, Iberian, and Jewish influences. The cooks in the royal kitchens of Fez, Meknes, Marrakech, Rabat and Tetouan refined Moroccan cuisine over the centuries and created the basis for what is known as Moroccan cuisine today.

Morocco produces a large range of Mediterranean fruits and vegetables and even some tropical ones. The country produces large quantities of sheep, cattle, poultry, and seafood which serve as a base for the cuisine.

Cookbook:Pepper

This article pertains to black, green and white pepper berries (Piper nigrum), also known as peppercorns when dried. Other plants/ingredients commonly known as pepper include:
 * the chili pepper (including the bell pepper), and
 * several Asian spices including 'pink' peppercorns and Szechuan pepper.

The black, white and green peppers are actually the same berries harvested and processed at different stages of ripeness. They are very similar in flavour and texture, with the main difference being the colour. They are commonly used in Western cooking as seasoning.

The pepper berry is one of the most common spices in European cuisine, having been known and prized since antiquity due to its strong flavour. It is said that Alaric the Visigoth demanded from Rome a ransom of gold, silver, and pepper.

Black Pepper
Black pepper is a seasoning produced from the fermented, dried, unripe red berries of the plant Piper nigrum. (The same fruit, when unripe green, can be dried, or preserved in brine or vinegar, to make green peppercorns; or when ripe, dried and dehusked to make white peppercorns.)

Ground black pepper may be found on nearly every dinner table in some parts of the world, accompanied by its constant companion salt.

Cooking with Pepper
Black pepper is generally used when you want it to show up in the dish (especially in a whole or 'cracked' form) and white pepper when you do not want it visible in the finished product.

Pepper added at the beginning of a recipe makes the whole recipe taste peppery. When added at the end of a recipe parts of the recipe taste peppery and other parts don't because the pepper won't be evenly distributed among the food.

Grinding pepper releases flavorful volatile oils that evaporate after time, so the full flavor of pepper is obtained when freshly ground onto food at the end of cooking or after serving.
