GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

Reviewer: Ajpolino (talk · contribs) 21:20, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

I'll be able to get to this over the next week or so. I see you haven't edited since nominating this for GA. Are you still around? Sorry the review process has taken so long; we're a bit backlogged at the moment. Looking forward to reading this more closely! Ajpolino (talk) 21:20, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Hi! This was an assignment for a course that I took in the first half of 2019. At the end the instructor was happy with my article and thought that it wouldn't be a bad idea to submit for good article. As a pre-med student, I have been busy with my other work but would be happy to participate in the review process. Do you anticipate a lot of changes? Oscar2129 (talk) 21:29, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

 * After a quick first skim I think the article would benefit from some de-jargoning and clarifying per Writing_better_articles. This is a technical topic, and so most readers will likely have at least some biology training. However, it'd be nice if at least the lead paragraphs (or the first few sentences) understandable to a complete lay audience. In particular, see the example given at WP:OBVIOUS. That's probably how lay readers would feel at the beginning of this article. I'm sorry I've been a bit slow, but I'll be able to read through it more closely soon and can give specific examples. Also you are welcome to participate as much as you are able. I can attempt to do some clean-up myself, but I have only a passing familiarity with this topic. That said, I think your work on this article has been excellent and I'm excited to see it so drastically improved. Happy editing! Ajpolino (talk) 22:14, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

 * 1) Is it well written?
 * A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
 * See what I said above. The article is written at a level where an undergraduate who has taken some developmental biology could understand it. If you could re-write parts of the lead so that it's understandable to a lay audience (i.e. in this case someone who has taken high school biology but may not have thought about it for some time) that would be a huge improvement. The sections can be a bit more jargony, but some clarification would go a long way. Ajpolino (talk) 20:42, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
 * See above.
 * 1) Is it verifiable with no original research?
 * A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
 * B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:
 * C. It contains no original research:
 * In general, when writing articles on scientific topics we try to stick to secondary sources. Scientific articles (e.g. "The effect of PIF on frog eggs") are primary sources. In review articles, established scientists survey the primary literature and produce a secondary source. Wikipedia is a tertiary source, i.e. we prefer to survey established secondary literature to compile our articles. This goes hand-in-hand with the fact that editors here cannot rely on their academic credentials for credibility. So as an editor you're not saying "I'm an expert on pregnancy; I looked at scientific studies and here's my conclusion on PIF". Instead you're saying "I'm an anonymous editor of a semi-egalitarian mega-encyclopedia; as best I can tell here's what experts think when they look through studies about PIF"... All that to say, your article here reads like a review article. You cite primary literature for each of your points. Where possible, it would be ideal if you could find secondary sources (review articles, textbooks, et al.) to back up these claims. Ajpolino (talk) 20:42, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
 * 1) Is it broad in its coverage?
 * A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
 * B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
 * 1) Is it neutral?
 * It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
 * 1) Is it stable?
 * It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
 * 1) Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
 * A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:
 * B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass or Fail: Unfortunately this article needs more work than I can put into it at this time, and the nominator appears to be absent (probably busy in real life). That said, kudos to the nominator for all the work that has gone into the article! If you (or anyone else) ever has the time to spruce this article up, it would be a pleasure to see it move to GA status (you can resubmit it for review anytime). Good luck with the pre-medicine program! Ajpolino (talk) 21:51, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Lucid Dreaming/Reality Checks/Breathing

Presentation
With the breathing reality check, you check if you can breathe underwater or with your fingers tightly sealing your nose. Always remember to concentrate on the act. When you seal your nose, don't release the air pressure when you're done with the test. As well as doing this regularly, you could also do it every time you go swimming.

That being said, if you feel at all uncomfortable, unplug your nose! You don't want to risk suffocating yourself.

NOTE: I have had personal experience with the breathing technique. I have used it numerous times. Only until recently it has worked perfectly fine for inducing lucid dreams; however, within the last two weeks, every time I try to plug my nose and breathe in, it doesn't work even in the dream world! It may be because I do the test so often that my expectation of the result carries into the dream world, therefore giving me the result I expect no matter if I'm dreaming or not. But, I do not see why this would happen since I constantly question the reality of the world around me hoping and expecting to be in a dream. My advice is to have a variety of techniques down in your mind and test two or three of them. Sometimes, my breathing AND hand checks don't work any more! I have found that text and digital clocks are the only solid way to know for sure since I seem to have exhausted the ability to use the techniques relating to my body.

Examples of this reality check working

 * I realised that the situation was getting a bit strange and did the breathing reality check. I found that I could breathe through my nose and immediately searched for a mirror...
 * I did the breathing reality check out of routine. Somehow I was uncertain whether I was dreaming - it seemed I hadn't sealed my nose tightly and I could still breathe through it. I pressed tightly and still managed to breathe. I was convinced. I went outside...
 * I was pushed down into the water. I almost drowned before I tried to breathe, then I suddenly found I could breathe underwater. As I came up to the surface I realised that I was therefore dreaming.
 * While using the WILD technique, I thought it might be time to perform a reality check. As I couldn't decide which one to use, I suddenly felt myself sinking through my bed. Eventually, I fell through and fell into the water. I immediately found out that I was able to breathe through my nose and realised that I was dreaming.

Examples of this reality check failing

 * My first attempt at reality checking; I found myself in a pool, and could breathe; for a moment I was lucid but then I decided that I could breathe because the pool had no chlorine, and I went on without lucidity.
 * I did the reality check out of habit and I could not breathe with my nose closed.
 * I breathed through a shut nose, and a dream character said that you just thought it worked. I continued on non-lucidly.
 * My nose was quite greasy, so I couldn't seal my nose properly... I was breathing, but I thought it was pretty normal, as my nose wasn't shut, so no lucidity came.
 * I did the breathing reality check. It didn't work. I said, "that's odd - my reality check failed!" I kept doing it until it worked. Only when I woke up, I realised that I just needed to do a reality check and then I would realise that I was dreaming.
 * I was taking a hallucinogenic drug in my dream and my drug guide told me that I should feel as if I'm in a dream, therefore the reality checks should prove true even though I'm not really dreaming. When I woke up I soon realized I actually was.
 * I tried breathing underwater at the beach when I thought I was asleep, inhaled a mouthful of water, and had to be rescued by lifeguards.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on David Pepper. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
 * Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20080827152543/http://www.gchq.gov.uk/press/new_director.html to http://www.gchq.gov.uk/press/new_director.html

Cheers.— InternetArchiveBot  (Report bug) 10:13, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Requested move 9 April 2018

The result of the move request was: move the pages at this time, per the discussion below, and create a new disambiguation page at David Pepper. Dekimasu よ! 22:01, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

– I don't think that either David Edwin Pepper (currently at David Pepper) or David Andrew Pepper (currently at David A. Pepper) are the primary topic for the name "David Pepper". If anything, I think David Andrew Pepper is the more primary of the two, as Googling "david pepper" primarily shows results about him, and David Edwin Pepper isn't mentioned until the 8th result on page 2. The |David_A._Pepper page views favor David Andrew Pepper's page slightly, but not by much (however, David Edwin Pepper's page may be getting false hits since it currently holds the article title "David Pepper"). However, it's worth noting that both of these results are skewed by recentness; David Andrew Pepper is presently active as a politician and writer, while David Edwin Pepper doesn't seem to be up to much since his position as GCHQ Director ended in 2008.
 * David Pepper → David Pepper (intelligence official)
 * David A. Pepper → David Pepper (politician)

Basically, I think that a) the current article at "David Pepper" is definitely not the primary topic, and b) arguably, there isn't a primary topic at all. Thus, both of these pages should be moved to disambiguated titles, and a disambiguation page should be created at "David Pepper". I prefer parenthetical disambiguation (e.g. "David Pepper (British)" and "David Pepper (American)") to disambiguation using middle names/initials (e.g. "David E. Pepper" and "David A. Pepper") because neither of these individuals is commonly referred to by their full name. I support disambiguating by nationality (e.g. "(British)" and "(American)") because I think it's the least confusing option. Disambiguating by occupation is more commonly used (e.g. "David Pepper (civil servant)" and "David Pepper (politician)"), but it would be confusing in this case because "politician" and "civil servant" are very similar and overlapping terms. I guess we could do "David Pepper (British civil servant)" and "David Pepper (American politician)", but that seems needlessly non-concise. After reading WP:NCPDAB, I have changed my proposal to "David Pepper (intelligence official)" (instead of "David Pepper (British)") and "David Pepper (politician)" (instead of "David Pepper (American)"). Iago Qnsi (User talk:IagoQnsi) 23:16, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I've just discovered WP:NCPDAB, which lays out the policy for disambiguating people with the same name. It seems that using nationality by itself for parenthetical disambiguation is more unconventional than I had thought. Perhaps "David Pepper (intelligence official)" and "David Pepper (politician)" would be better than my above proposal? – Iago Qnsi (User talk:IagoQnsi) 23:27, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Those sound more standard to me. I think it's early enough that you can just revise the templates to reflect those suggestions, if you want. Dekimasu よ! 23:39, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
 * ✅ – Iago Qnsi (User talk:IagoQnsi) 00:43, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Support per detailed nomination. There is, indeed, no primary topic and it is clear that the politician and author does not use the middle initial "A."   Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 06:10, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Support GNews In ictu oculi (talk) 09:17, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Support per nom - no clear primary topic for "David Pepper". Paintspot Infez (talk) 15:01, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The director of a national communications intelligence agency in a major country seems considerably more notable to me than a local politician. Although he can be moved to David Pepper (politician). -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:01, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Suggestion. I just checked, and there is nothing prohibiting the use of *two* identifying terms, as in David Pepper (politician & author) or David Pepper (American politician & author). Such a designation might be helpful considering people's searches for him might be instigated by his work in either area of accomplishment. WebMaven2000 (talk) 00:31, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * It's not explicitly disallowed, but it is definitely less concise and a bit unexpected. We should try to pick one title in my opinion. I think he's far better known for his political career--I'm not sure he would even meet WP:N if you take away his political career. For what it's worth, both of his books are political thrillers, so someone looking for the author probably wouldn't be too surprised by the label "politician". -- Iago Qnsi (User talk:IagoQnsi) 04:26, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * No, generally avoided. And we don't need a national identifier if there's only one of them. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:01, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Talk:David Gress

All information about David Gress education and employment must chekked since there are raised serious doubts about these in Danish newspapers. David Gress' fools bell

By: Arno Victor Nielsen, philosopher Information 25th July 2007 | http://www.information.dk/138613

Nevertheless, he has since the beginning of 90'rne appeared in the Danish media as a professor at Stanford, professor at the University of Denver, Professor of international politics at Boston University, research professor at the Centre for Cultural Research, Aarhus University, visiting researcher at Aarhus University, Associate Professor of classical philology at Aarhus University and affiliated Aarhus University.

Cum grano Salis Now he claims that he never even have adorned themselves with fake professor titles. So it's probably the ugly leftist who has sneaked into the newspaper editors and stitched the fake titles of his articles.

It can certainly not be someone who knows the least of his so-called scientific output.

Today he addressed as 'historian, Ph.D.' This too applies only cum grano Salis. PhD degree, he has acquired an inferiority College in the U.S., and historian is just something he calls himself.

The nearest Gress has reached the coveted title of Professor without it could be mistaken for a fool's bell was when a conservative think tank, the John M. Olin Foundation in 2001 endowed him with the title in two years and planted him at Boston University. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:18, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Isis hippuris

Isis hippuris, also known as sea bamboo, is a species of bamboo coral found in the Western Pacific Ocean, commonly near the coasts of Indonesia. I. hippuris reproduce asexually, and is abundant throughout its habitats in Indonesia. For centuries, I. hippuris has been identified by its bamboo or bony-looking structure. Additionally, it is notable for producing Hippuristanol, a molecule that could potentially have anti-cancer applications. While no actual conclusion regarding Hippuristanol in I. hippuris has been published, scientists and marine biologists continue to study how the molecule could be used in cancer research and recovery. Although only found in the Western Pacific Ocean, I. hippuris is highly sought after across the globe, and is seen as a symbol of beauty.

Description
I. hippurisis a soft coral identified by its yellow-green coloration and thick stalks with a fuzzy appearance. Colonies of I. hippuris commonly grow to a height of 30–40 cm and a width of 10–20 cm, but colonies have been recorded growing to 100 cm in either dimension. The physical structure of I. hippuris is composed of nodes and inter nodes, essentially "stacked" on top of each other, giving it the nickname sea bamboo. Together, the nodes and inter nodes can create either a skinny or thick structure, and oftentimes look similar to many organism's spine. With this, the I. hippuris coral have also been referred to as "the stony horse-tail", as their structure is their main distinguished identifying characteristic. A 2015 study on the nodes and inter nodes in I. hippuris showed that it may display multiple phenotypes depending on its environment. The study compared groups of I. hippuris located at two different ridges with Wakatobi Marine National Park (WMNP), Indonesia. The ridges differed in sediment thickness, height, and color. One phenotype displayed shorter, stockier branches, while the other had longer, thinner branches. It is not entirely clear if these differences indicate differing phenotypes, or if the two ridges contain distinct species.

Ecology
Isis hippuris is a Gorgonian coral found throughout Indo-Pacific coral reefs.

Habitat and Distribution
I. hippuris is found in tropical coral reefs within the Indo-Pacific region of the Pacific Ocean, particularly off the coasts of Indonesia and India. I. hippuris may be adaptable to its environment, as factors such as sediment thickness, turbidity, and light availability may be linked to phenotypic differences. It has been found that specimens of I. hippuris with longer stalks and more vertical profiles are commonly found at the flats of reefs, while specimens with shorter stalks and more horizontal profiles are found at the crests.

I. hippuris is one of many Gorgonian corals found throughout Indo-Pacific coral reefs. Gorgonian corals are oftentimes dominant members of the benthic communities they're found in, acting almost as centerpieces for the reefs.

Like most Gorgonians, I. hippuris prefers areas with loose substrates and strong water flow. It seems that areas with differing underwater elevations are ideal for diverse groups of Gorgonians, both in regards to overall species richness and differing phenotypes of I. hippuris. Areas with high turbidity and sedimentation are not suitable for Gorgonians.

Feeding
Isis hippuris is a suspension feeder, using their stalks to catch food from the water flow. The differing appearances of I. hippuris stalks can possibly be attributed to this, as longer stalks are more efficient at lower elevations with more competition close to the ground, and shorter, more lateral specimens would excel at the peak of the ridges.

Reproduction
Like other members of the class Anthozoa, I. hippuris is able to reproduce asexually, spawning small larva which go through metamorphosis quickly and take root in sediment to grow into an adult.

Taxonomy
I. hippuris was first identified by Linnaeus, C. in 1758, added to the World Register of Marine Species by van der Land, J. in 2008, and confirmed by van Ofwegen, L. in 2010. The coral I. hippuris belongs to the Kingdom 'Animalia', Phylum 'Cnidaria', Class 'Anthozoa', Order 'Alcyonacea', Family 'Isididae', Genus, 'Isis', and Species 'Isis hippuris'.

I. hippuris is a very plastic species, and as such is currently the only accepted species within the Genus 'Isis'. 20 species have been submitted to the genus, yet none are distinct enough to be separated from I. hippuris.

Uses
The molecule Hippuristanol present in I. hippuris continues to be studied as a hypothetical approach to leukemia treatment. Hippuristanol is polyoxygenated, and is able to target and diminish the spread and presence of T-cell leukemia in organisms. Researchers have broken down the chemical makeup and studied the functions of Isis hippuris in order to truly determine if there is a correlation between the steroid hippuristanol, and the reduced number of leukemia cells in an organism exposed to hippuristanol. Continuing to research the rate at which hippuristanol is able to eliminate leukemia, and the effectiveness, may ultimately result in a major medical breakthrough.

History and Naming
Due to its unique structure, the I. hippuris coral was widely sought after, and desired throughout Indonesia. The species was named after the Egyptian Goddess, Isis, and used as decoration to represent a symbol of beauty and wealth. The Egyptian Goddess, Isis, was an ancient symbol of motherhood and healing. Furthermore, Isis was looked up to and highly admired across Egypt, for her positive impact on the environment around her, and her beauty, similarly to the I. hippuris coral. As mentioned above, the molecule Hippuristanol may be utilized in the cancer healing realm, and come full circle by living out the origin of the name Isis.

Conservation Status
As I. hippuris is found primarily in coral reefs, it has been affected by the overall destruction of coral reefs by man. The Wakatobi Marine National Park, I. hippuris's main habitat, is in theory protected by local government from destructive actions, but in practice the protection is not properly enforced. Additionally, there is a lack of education provided to the local community about the importance of these coral reefs for the worldwide ecosystem, which also contributes to its destruction.

In addition to the typical endangerment that a coral would receive from mankind, I. hippuris has also been sought after and collected for its medicinal purposes. The Indonesian government has placed a protective ban on the collection of I. hippuris, in attempts to let the species re-flourish.

Currently seeing myself as something of a 'crash-test dummy' for the wikiprofessors to try out their material on. I'm also quite experienced in the style of peer support described on the School page, tending to spend long hours in study rooms discussing problems with fellow students - normally on the receiving end of help rather than the giving, except for a small number of very thorny logic problems that my twisted mind digests slightly better than average.

 * Computer identifies all genes, based on properties of genes (e.g., start/stop codons, introns, etc.).

Biochips
Microarray chips contain wells of DNA that code for specific genes that uses the concept of hybridization with the gene of interest to see if a gene is expressed or is present.
 * Microarray of DNA fragments, size of postage stamp; can be expensive, but has decreased in cost
 * Designed to detect:
 * mutated genes (SNPs)
 * expressed genes

 * Are they the intellectual property of the discoverer?
 * Don’t they belong to all of us?
 * Should indigenous peoples be compensated for useful genes extracted from their local plants and fungi?

Stem cells

 * Totipotent cells from early embryo
 * grow into any tissue or cell type
 * Recombinant genes can be introduced
 * Considerable use in analyzing gene expression in mice

Talk:Ethel Pye

Death details
If this death notice and Find a Grave entry are for the same person, it looks like Ms. Pye moved to New South Wales later in life. Nick Number (talk) 19:27, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Hmm. Good find. I wonder. --Tagishsimon (talk) 02:36, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

 * I found that Find a Grave entry but it says 75 years old, while Ethel Pye was 78 years old. It is also true there was not notice in the Gazzette of her death, therefore it could be she moved out of England. --Elisa.rolle (talk) 07:44, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Might you have familiarity with any resources which might link (or confirm the lack of link) between this death notice and our sculptor? Long-shot, obvs. --Tagishsimon (talk) 14:09, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Although I'm thinking not; quite a lot of Pyes in Parramatta afaics, including, I think, an Ethel Mary who was married in 1912, which would not do at all - https://www.google.com/search?q=parramatta+ethel+pye

 * I just checked NSW BDM. The Ethel Mary Pye who died at Parramatta in 1960 was the daughter of James Andrew and Margaret Pye – so the father is not correct. --Oronsay (talk) 18:50, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Thanks Oronsay; your looking much appreciated :) -Tagishsimon (talk) 19:07, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Just found her on Ancestry in 1891 Census, where her name was given as Margaret E, living in Daleham Gardens, Hampstead with parents and siblings. Baptised on 24 Apr 1881, St John's Wood All Saints, again Ancestry. Could you search UK records for her as Margaret Ethel or Ethel Margaret? --Oronsay (talk) 19:32, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

 * I'm afraid I don't, as far as I know, have access to any useful genealogical sites :( --Tagishsimon (talk) 19:50, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

 * I have yet to find a record of her probate, but it's interesting that her sister - Anna Sybilla Pye - left her estate to her nephew, David William Pye, Probate 1958 not to Ethel, although they shared the cottage at Newick. By the way, the probate gives date of death for Sybil, missing from bio. This suggests to me that Ethel had predeceased her. --Oronsay (talk) 21:09, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

 * I have found her, shown as Margaret Ethel Pye, art student, in the 1911 Census, living with father (listed as married but wife must have been away) and sister, Sybil. I also found a death record for Margaret E. Pye, Cuckfield, Sussex (9 miles from Newick) for 1955 and age matches. But no corresponding probate discovered, no success searching for her grave or that of sister Sybil. --Oronsay (talk) 21:47, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

 * That's amazing. Good sleuthing. !960 was always a questionable date - a supposition from Glasgow, a ? from British Library. Not sure where our "Mary' comes from - added it in this diff. Her sister is Edith Mary. Fascinating, too, the Anna Sybilla -> Sybil. --Tagishsimon (talk) 00:33, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

 * my fault, I saw a M. in some source and then I saw the Mary in the preview of the Oxford DB entry but that was her sister, Edith.Elisa.rolle (talk) 07:28, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Cuckfield Hospital might explain why Cuckfield rather than Newick. --Tagishsimon (talk) 00:44, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

 * I have been bold, and changed her name in the article to Margaret Ethel. I've left the headline DoD as 1960, and added a note to cover the 1955 date - do you have a more exact date?. We have reliable sources for the 1960 date, even if we think it is wrong. WP:OR counsels against us asserting that our 1955 date is correct. However I hope the note is useful to readers.

 * I've removed 'Mary' altogether ... we need a source for that name to reintroduce it.

 * Happy to see my changes amended or reverted if you have different views as to how we should handle this stuff. --Tagishsimon (talk) 01:49, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

We could do with more on her affiliation with the SoF. --Tagishsimon (talk) 14:19, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Bloom Clock

first botany class?
Hey, maybe this could turn into the first botany class... you oculd have people buy a random bluming flower, have them plant it, and write down when it blooms. It would be a good introduction into how to care for plants. Of course, you don't want me in it- I've killed catusus before!--Rayc 14:58, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Nice idea, but I think that should probably be separate from the research project :). I do write wikibooks on gardening techniques, so wouldn't mind facilitating classes like that. SB_Johnny | talk 16:16, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

How to contribute
You should write up a section on how to contribute. I was thinking something like:

 * 1) Find a flower that you pass by every day
 * 2) If you own a digital camera, take a picture of it
 * 3) Upload (steps to upload)
 * 4) We (other users) will analys what type of plant it
 * 5) Note which day you saw it first bloom
 * 6) Note your location

--Rayc 04:48, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * That would actually be a great way to help people identify the flowers... good thinkin! --SB_Johnny | talk 04:52, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm going to try and upload to see if it is workin. Never uploaded anything before!--Rayc 05:00, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Can you tell what these are then?--Rayc 05:04, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

 * LOL! Yup, those are Taraxacum officinale :). --SB_Johnny | talk 11:14, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Mushrooms
Well, I was supposed to take a picture of some mushrooms while on vacation, but I can't find them on my PC anymore. Anyway, they looked orange and they were growing on a log with some white bark. Any idea what it was? --HappyCamper 23:41, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Historical data
Would participants in this project be interested in using herbarium specimens to record plant blooming dates?

I'm running a distributed project to document museum herbarium specimens. I had already been considering including a phenological slant to the project, and having seen this project on wikiversity am wondering if collaboration is possible.

As brief background, herbaria@home is a web based project to digitise university and museum herbarium specimens. Currently we record the species, collector, site and date of collection, but I am thinking of also requesting data on the flowering state of the specimens. This might provide data which is directly relevant to the 'Bloom clock' project. It is worth noting that for taxonomic reasons herbarium specimens are usually flowering, so very many specimens would be relevant.

Potentially this could add data from millions of specimens, with worldwide coverage. A good reason to look at historical data could be to study climate change, as flowering time and distribution can be a good way to track seasonal changes. e.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk/climate/evidence/phenology.shtml

I'd be very interest to hear anyone's thoughts on this. -- Japonicus 17:07, 12 October 2006 (UTC) talk

Getting ready for the spring
Where should people look in the spring for blooming flowers? What does this project want besides the picture (temperature, location, soil quality, etc..)--Rayc 06:25, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I think location is probably the most important thing for now. Regions about the size of a US "County" would be best, since it's small enough to be fairly consistent in climate (though places like California with a million niches might need to be more specific). Temperature and rainfall might be helpful, soil quality shouldn't matter. Maybe the clock users should try to keep up a page on this? If so, maybe in their userspace... some sort of userbox which auto-linked to a certain subpage of the userspace might work. --SB_Johnny | talk 15:37, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

resetting the clock
A couple notes I've been thinking of the past few days: In any case, I'm hoping to re-announce it on the colloquium and perhaps on some of the other wikis, though I'm wondering too whether there are web-forums that do this sort of thing where other interested people might be. --SB_Johnny | talk 15:33, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I think it might be good to reset the clock on Solstice (thus twice per year), as a not-so-arbitrary division on the year (plants that take their "cues" from day length would presumably bloom predictably in either hemisphere at a given latitude). This would be strange this first year because it means any southern hemisphere contributors would be starting at midsummer, but that will be fixed up 6 months from now (when the next clock is started, and the northern hemisphere would then have a clock starting in midsummer).
 * Limit the plants "watched" to weeds, wildflowers, and perennials (including trees and shrubs) that have been planted in the ground for at least one year. This would limit any skewed results from plants that might have been grown in nurseries of different climates.
 * Either tie this to other clocks, or rename the project as a "life clock". The reason for this is to also include things like fungi, insects, and perhaps migrating animals.

Pink Blossoms in January!
Hmmm. I'll try to get pictures and more info on this beauty. For now, I'm just registering the time and place. I'm in Kentucky USA where you don't see many blossoms this time of year. Interesting project! CQ 14:44, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Believe it or not, we've had Cherries blooming in Pennsylvania too! --SB_Johnny | talk 12:56, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I noted a prunus blossoming monday, Jan 15th. Dont know exact species. Location: Gouda, Netherlands.

To do anything with the data, we'd need a datastructure so data can be statistically analyzed. Ask for wikidata.

You'll need entities for:
 * User (id, name)
 * species (id, bot. name,)
 * observation (species, observed by user, date observation, coordinates of observation, time of observation, identification confirmed by user, temperature, altitude)

For while these are not availabl, I suggest a semicoln separated list is used: species; Observed by User;, date observation; coordinate N; coordinate E; time of observation; identification confirmed by user; temperature; altitude; vinca major; TeunSpaans; 2007-01-17; 52°05' N; 4°18' E; 18:00; ; 10C;0

TeunSpaans 07:29, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

(funny, btw, the en: and nl: wikis have different coordinates for The Hague)

 * I think just having as much data as possible is the best way to go, as long as we have a fairly good idea of the location. As long as people gove some good information on the contributors page, it should be reasonably useful (a bot can be used to organize the data at the end of the 6-month run). The important thing though is to make sure that if you're logging from a location other than your usual flower-spotting place, it needs to ba prominently noted (using a standard notation the bot will understand). --SB_Johnny | talk 11:14, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

data mining to discover from images?
Assuming that images of naturally-occurring flowers are available with time and date information, would it be possible to use what might be a huge number of timestamped bloom images to create the bloom clock?

JPatrickBedell 00:00, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure what you mean... your own photos? It would be a good idea, as long as we're sure where the photo was taken, as well as when. Flowers will bloom at different times according to latitude (including hemisphere), altitude, and other local differences from year to year. For example: Crocuses are going to bloom a lot earlier in Georgia than they do in Ontario. --SB_Johnny | talk 11:24, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Drumb up some pictures
So it's to be spring soon. Hopefully. I'm going to see if I can get some people to start taking pictures by placing a notice on the community portal. Be ready for them.--Rayc 18:26, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks Rayc!--SB_Johnny | talk 20:45, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * And now I have a bunch of pictures for different dates. I'll upload them when I have time.--Rayc 21:32, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Making the clock pages prettier?
I'm wondering if it would be too much of an inconvenience for slow-connection folks to have pictures on the lists? If there's no picture, we could use Image:No image available.svg... and maybe include that in the template.

I was also thinking that maybe the logging for each particular plant should actually be a separate page, with the main page either transcluding or linking those pages. That way when plants are clearly out of season, they could be taken off the page to keep the list shorter, and could also allow people using common names to reach the same spot as those using binomials. --SB_Johnny | talk 13:54, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Moving towards a transclusion model...
I feel like I'm talking to myself sometimes :). I think I've figured out a way to make the BCP better as both a teaching, learning, and data-collecting tool, but it's boggling my mind as to how I can explain it all.

The strategy I have in mind involves knowledgeable people doing a lot of work, but it will help people learn, help people collect data, and help people teach.

I've been ruminating for weeks -- and experimenting for a day -- on how to make the bloom clock more educational, more fun to use, more interesting to look at, and more useful as a data collection tool. The solution I've come up with is using page transclusion, and an additional template.

I'm having a very hard time expressing my thoughts today (here and elsewhere), but here's what I have in mind:

 * 1) use several lists to accomodate contributors with various levels of knowledge, including a "by scientific name" list (for people who know plants well), a "by common name" list (for people who know their plants, but don't speak botanical latin), and "by color and type" lists for those who really don't know much about plants, but want to learn.
 * 2) keep the bcp template, with the understanding that that template will be replaced by transculded pages that use the bcp2 template.

Still having expression problems, but maybe someone sees what I'm saying? --SB_Johnny | talk 21:23, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

 * You're right SB Johnny, this is a hell-of-a-lotta work. I think the MediaWiki Project should get involved, as there a lot of things about MediaWiki as a database engine that lend themselves to a project like this. I posted below about "bloom clock dynamics" and I'm back-tracking your progress so far. I know what you mean by "talking to myself" and "boggling my mind" though, so take heart! I'll keep thinking about how to contribute to the BCP getting familiar with the structure. -- CQ 21:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Documented approximate blooming times
Some Wikipedia articles have approximate blooming times from various sources (I encountered them when entering public domain tree info). For classifying those there are categories such as Category:Mid winter flowers. See the category's parent cat for a summary. (<IP_ADDRESS> 02:15, 20 May 2007 (UTC))

Bloom clock dynamics
This is a facinating project. I've started a course for generating dynamic content with MediaWiki and this would be an excellent content-rich application for getting some "hands-on" with dynamic content. Take a look and see if you get any ideas about different ways to implement "bloom clock dynamics" using CURRENT variables, parser functions and maybe javascript, perl or other scripting magic. I can envision an "Almanac" approach, but it's very scetchy at this point. -- CQ 20:51, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

 * At this point my primary interest is in collecting data, and finding ways to make data-collection fun. I'll hopefully have time this weekend to fill in some details, but I'm talking to a school and a conservation group about getting it more kid-friendly and interesting (my fellow wikibookian Whiteknight, who lives not so far from me, has volunteered to help me "train" people for this). Stay tuned... too busy and tired now to wax on (I'm a farmer, and it's spring)!--SB_Johnny | talk 00:03, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Collaborate with Wikispecies?
We could link each plant's log page to it's corresponding Wikispecies page. After all, they already link to Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, and Wikibooks. --Luai lashire 18:22, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

 * If I understand correctly, isn't Wikispecies just a collection of metadata? Most Wikipedia articles have taxoboxes which achive pretty much the same purpose. I don't have any objection to adding links to Wikispecies in the templates, but I wonder how useful it can be to a bloom clock user. --SB_Johnny | PA! 12:55, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

How goes the bloom clock?
Looks like you've got a lot of data. Any analysis of it yet?--Rayc 20:56, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Not enough data for analysis yet, but we do have the Keys up and running for a few regions. --SB_Johnny | talk 10:23, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Growing ornamental plants
I think we are automatically excluding growing ornamental plants and this stuff. Am I right?--Juan 15:03, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Nope :). If it's growing outside, it's fair game. Probably about 1/2 of the plants on the clock are ornamentals and/or crops. --SB_Johnny | talk 17:48, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

But do you know, that gardeners can actually offer flowering plants hole the year. Thats what they are doing. They are just replanting growing plants at the same plot.--Juan 18:16, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I know (I'm a professional gardener :) ), but someone using the clock keys isn't necessarily going to know which flower is an annual and which is a perennial (or even a weed or a wildflower). While not necessarily helpful for the research aspect of the clock, logs of garden plants do help the educational aspects.--SB_Johnny | talk 20:21, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

So what is the recomendation for me as a person who can differ between these plants? Anyway, I thing I will do just "wild" ones:-)--Juan 20:23, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I've been using categories (soon to be replaced by templates) for this purpose in my region. See Category:BCP/SEPA/NP (native plants), Category:BCP/SEPA/IP (invasive plants), and Category:BCP/SEPA/GP (garden plants). I haven't done anything with these yet, but will make an annotated flora next week (once the cats are replaced by templates... user:Mike's bot account will soon do the changes). --SB_Johnny | talk 12:31, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Plants of special colection
Can I write down data also about plants from different regions, which cant be find in the wild. These plants from other regions, we have on our school fields.--Juan 11:55, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

 * All flowering plants are good. The only trick is if you go to another region (a distinct one where the bloom times might be different). In that case, use another account. --SB_Johnny | talk 12:39, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Or, may I use different singnatures?--Juan 15:56, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Categorising by month
I have just realized, that everithink is categorized in time by month. I would recomend to categorized it also by year. Of how well categorize flowering plants of the next October?--Juan 13:20, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Orphan Pages or Data
There are about 70 orphan Bloom Clock pages listed by the special pages orphan page utility. Someone from the proejct may wish to look at them, link them in or put them up for deletion if they are errors and not missing data. Mirwin 06:00, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * How can I find these pages? --Luai lashire 18:44, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The pages can be found here. It looks like these are mostly the DPLs for the keys, which are categorized but not linked (they are linked via some newer templates, but the templates aren't on all the corresponding keys yet). In some other cases they are top level subbages, which really just serve to allow automatic linking from lower subpages, but again, they're categorized and therefore not realy orphans. --SB_Johnny | talk 14:05, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Some of these pages seem a bit superfluous, such as Bloom Clock/Welcome- the information on this page is already on the main Bloom Clock page and as far as I can tell, the main Bloom Clock page doesn't even lead to the "Welcome" page. Couldn't this page just be deleted?  --Luai lashire 18:10, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * A few of them probably could... I was experimenting around with different introductions. --SB_Johnny | talk 09:37, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Global key experiment
I'm going to try over the next few days to start setting up a global key, based on the Southeast PA data. The idea is to have 8 "seasons": early winter, late winter, early spring, late spring, and so on. The hope is to have the data organized in a less "regional" manner for new contributors.

For spring flowers that are reacting to temperature, we should probably be able to make adjusted calendars for various regions (for example, judging by cormaggio's latest entries, early spring in England would probably be in February-March, as opposed to March-April in Southeast PA.

Using the SEPA data to make the standard has 3 advantages:
 * 1) The largest data set (for now) is from that region.
 * 2) The Winter in southeast PA follows the solstice-equinox calendar rather closely (i.e., hard freeze tends to set in in late december, and soil thaw tends to happen in late march). In that sense the data by season will be "typical".
 * 3) In North America, this region sits on one of the major biome lines, meaning that it's on the southern limit of much of the northern flora, and on the northern limit of much of the southern flora. This makes it easy to "tie in" data from colder and warmer locations.

I'm going to make the original keys by altering the region/month templates to add season categories and running DPL on the new categories. We can add the same categories to the region/month templates of other regions once we correlate the data. This will have to be rejiggered again each month, because I suspect that fall flowers will be reacting to daylight hours rather than growing degree days (summer flowers will probably use variable methods... let's see what the data tells us after a few years). --SB_Johnny | talk 14:02, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

 * OK, got a key started at Bloom Clock/Keys/Global. Hopefully looks ok. --SB_Johnny | talk 14:44, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Questions about what to log
Question 1: I just bought a potted primrose which I intend to plant in my garden. It is blooming now, but it was raised in an artificial environment. Do I log it anyway, or wait until it's actually in my garden? (you can tell I'm a bit confused here!) :) Question 2: I saw some mosses today which had sent up stalks (not sure what the official term for those is); do we log those, or not? --Luai lashire 23:08, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Hi Luai! (Yes, I'm as excited about spring as you are :-)). For the primrose, it's a bit of a gray area, but I think you should probably log it after you plant it or start to leave it outside, because a lot of people plant them out as annuals in the spring, so they'll serve the function of an annual on the keys. Just add a comment about that when you sign the logs so future researchers are fully informed.

 * As for the sporophytes, I really have no idea, because I really don't know anything about them other than that I like them and enjoy watching the little "stems" come up too. I'll ask the Wikipedians for advice on that (I need to give them an update anyway).

 * Well, I think, that it would be better to find different project for mosses, fungi, cyanophyta and these. Gardeners would not be probably interested in which period fungi are fruiting. But it would by interested for mycologists and these. All these data could be also usefull for phytogeographists. I hope for the future to make something for phytogeography, but firstly need to understand SB´s tepmlates a little bit more. But he might help right now, to found something simillar for mosses.--Juan 09:53, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Regional Subdivisions
How deep I can go with region subdividing? Is it reasonable? How to devide? I think political divisions to department distrcits and so on might not be a good idea. E.g. now, I have tree different accounts for Southbohemian Region, Czech Republic. For me, its quite big. There are mountains, lowlands and so on.--Juan 09:49, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Well, my 3 main accounts are used for a foothill region (where I live), a broad valley region (where I often work), and a low ridge area that's close enough to Philadelphia to have some heat island effect (each region is about 30-40 miles away from the others). Bloom time differences seem to be only a week or so, so for category purposes I've just been using "Southeastern Pennsylvania" for all three, but there's nothing to say I or someone else couldn't break them up later on if it seems appropriate (persumably this could be done by bots). Since the regional keys are broken down by months, 1-week differences won't show up at this point anyway.
 * Anticipating the next question :-)...: I don't think we can reasonably break down the keys to less than a month at this point unless we had a large number of people logging from any particular region, because it's unlikely that a single editor would have the time to log every plant blooming on a weekly basis. For example: during late spring and early summer in my region there are well over 200 species blooming (not including cultivars, varieties and grasses (I'm no good at identifying the latter)), and there's just no way I can promise to log all of them weekly. I'll probably be able to do a bit better at it this year because of the non-substituted templates. --SB_Johnny | talk 11:22, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Global key update and problems
Well, I started templating for the global key, but I think I need to redefine the categories, because the "2-months-in-a-season" thing is causing inaccuracies. I'm going to try instead to directly tie global cats to a single month for SEPA, which I probably should have done in the first place but wasn't happy about how that breaks up the turning months (march/june/sept/dec). The issue is worst with things blooming here in April, which I had been catting as both early spring and mid spring, but I think it's better to just use it as early spring, and keep march to late winter (rather than late winter/early spring). SEPA is usually very cold through the end of March anyway (it's -0.9º C right now, and snowing), so should work out ok.

One thing I'd like to work out on the global keys are some indicator species. Judging from some of Juan's contribs lately, these might need to be of 2 types: plants that bloom at the same time every year in a region (plants triggered by day length), and plants with variable bloom time (triggered by heat). We probably need 4 or 5 years of data to achieve this, but it's something to start watching out for. --SB_Johnny | talk 10:41, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Bloom Tree (experimental)
Just for looking at occasionally. --McCormack 16:39, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Change in log pages
The newer log pages now have the recent logs below the archives, because of some problems caused with editing noinclude sections in the lates version of mediawiki. Eventually we should change them all over... the goal is to make it easier to see where new logs go ("on the last line", rather than "on a new line below the last signature under "Recent Logs" but above the noinclude tag"). I'm not sure whether this will be bot-fixable, but just don't be surprised when you see logs in a different place on newer pages and/or pages that have been updated. --SB_Johnny | talk 19:02, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ooohh... Oops.  I already reverted a couple back to the way they used to be!  I thought someone had made an error when they made the log page.  Well, thanks for clarifying- I certainly won't make THAT mistake again.  Although I must say, I fail to see how it makes it easier....  Having the archives of something at the very top of the page, even before the current text, seems counter-intuitive to me.  --Luai lashire 00:37, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, rewording might be better: maybe just having "Logs" as the first heading, and we can break the archived logs down by year as well over time. The trouble came about because now when you hit the [edit] button next to "recent logs", the edit window would also show the archived logs as well. With the recent logs at the bottom now, it shows only the recent log list rather than all the confusing wikicode. The mediawiki change also makes the archived logs a no-edit section on the old version :(. I tried asking our local techies about it, but unfortunately couldn't find the root of the issue. --SB_Johnny | talk 09:31, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Global-temperate keys: progress and ways forward
I've been playing around with interpretations some more, and have come up with some pretty interesting results! I'm going to ask for advice on the WP ref desk sometime in the next day or two, but anyone interested can see the worksheets so far:

 * Bloom Clock/Keys/New Hampshire/Global Comparison Worksheet
 * Bloom Clock/Keys/Central Pennsylvania/Global Comparison Worksheet
 * Bloom Clock/Keys/Prague/Global Comparison Worksheet

I'm trying to figure out when to incorporate regional data into the global data... not as easy as I would like. Stay tuned :). --SB_Johnny | talk 17:27, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Structural and other changes to the clock
I've been fiddling around as usual (I seem to be suffering from Michelangelo syndrome), and have come up with some improvements and fixes:

Navigation
I'm switching to linked headers for the monthly local keys. This will make links to the key pages appearing on the main regional page, which in turn can be followed to show the global-temperate infobox and the links.

Data interpretations
All "global-temperate" regions will soon have a data analysis and comparison system to match up to the global-temperate keys. Monthly keys will also have a template linking to the best match(es) on the g-t keys.

Top

 * Add a "general information" field for discussing things not addressed by the other fields
 * Add a "cookbook link" field to make links to the wikibooks cookbook for edible plants with recipes
 * Remove the "quiz" link (the mediawiki for the quizzes has long been broken), and add a "fruit" link (for the soon-to-come fruit clock).
 * Add a "higher taxa" link (from species to genus, variety to species, etc.)

Middle
Add multiple "new region #" fields, since we have at least 3 new ones coming up. We'll name these starting at 3-12... the bot will be better able to keep track if we make sure each new field has a distinct name.

Bottom
Add several semi-defined fields to increase catagorizations, and get rid of "non-dichotomous" fields:

 * Flower shape: will use a "see instructions" clarifier... too many possible entries!
 * Inflorescence type: will use a "see instructions" clarifier... too many possible entries!
 * Veination: palmate/pinnate/linear

 * Species field: to keep species general records up to date for species with multiple cultivars

 * Separate color fields: embedded templates are too comfusing and hard to keep track of
 * multicolor field: mono/bi/multi/variable

 * Separate type fields: tree/shrub/vine/herbaceous

 * Separate pollination fields: far to complicated as it is now.
 * wind
 * animal

 * Nectar source quality: for logging plants that are often/sometimes/never covered in insects

 * Remove calander season field (already provided now by global cross-categorizations)

 * Toxic to humans
 * Toxic to livestock

Summary
It's a bunch of changes... I'll probably wait for more input and ideas about the bottom template for now, but will ask for a bot run to modify the middle and top templates (for one thing, we desperately need the new region fields!) within the next day or two. --SB_Johnny | talk 14:30, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Assigning New Region 1 and 2
I'm going to modify these to accept templates from Juan (for West Bohemia), and HortMan (Victoria, Australia). More New regions will become available after the bot runs through. We really should have some sort of policy for assigning... thus far I'm just using the "10 or more in a month" approach. --SB_Johnny | talk 14:30, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

New region 3 assigned
New region 3 is now used for Moravia-Silesia, Czech Republic, using the template series mo-si and categories MO-SI. --SB_Johnny | talk 17:45, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

New region 4
I'm designating "new region 4" for the Czech name of plants (since we have 2 very active contributors from the Czech Republic). --SB_Johnny | talk 19:18, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Changed log pages, change to bottom template in progress
Well, I went ahead and changed the template that makes new logs, and it's easy to redo the old ones using the script as well. The change in the mediawiki code that caused the earlier problems is still there, so it's still best to keep the recent logs at the bottom. The new change makes more sections for organizing the older logs, using heirarchichal headers so that whether you hit edit next to "Logs", "2008 logs" or "recent logs", you can always add new logs to the bottom.

I replaced all the text at the top with a single template, which can easily be modified later on. I've noticed some confusion here and there about where logs should go, so that message should eventually be made clearer (for now, it at least works structurally).

There's also been a lot of confusion lately about how to use the bottom template, so I'm hoping to change the non-dichotomous parts (where templates have been needed... e.g.: instead of adding to the "flower color (...) =" field, you would now just add "y" or "yes" next to "white flowers = ". We'll be able to track the new and old versions after the bot run using a tracking categories. --SB_Johnny | talk 11:05, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Assigning New Region 5 to Aurora, Colorado
User:Ngravagna has added a lot of logs (and new pages) for this region... I haven't had much luck getting in touch with him to describe the region, but I do want to get the keys and cats up, so I'll add them myself for now and hope he'll get in touch :). --SB_Johnny | talk 11:05, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Changes to BCP pages
I'll send talk page messages later, but new BCP pages will have a markedly different version of the bottom template. In brief, here's how to answer them:

 * 1) for color options, just add "y" or "yes" after any colors that apply (for in-betweens like "greenish yellow", add "y" after both green and yellow)
 * 2) for the other new options (formerly under "type" and "pollination method"), also just add "y" after whatever applies
 * 3) "calendar season" is no longer on the template... the global-temperate keys will eventually serve this purpose much better (and also give us flexibility for monsoon seasons and other equatorial variants).
 * 4) I'll explain the leaf veination and fruit present stuff later... got distracted on IRC and really have to run!

The bot will at some point come through and add these fields as well... the old fields still work and all data will be preserved. --SB_Johnny | talk 14:45, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

 * By the way, as long as the bot is coming through, I asked him to update the middle template too. Please don't try to manually update any of the old versions... the bot follows a specific category. "New Region 3" and "New Region 4" still work as before, the bot will replace the text when it does the other updates. --SB_Johnny | talk 14:51, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

plant communities
what do you think about inserting a field for plant communities of occurrence (from literature) into the plant page template? like Fagion, Alno-Ulmion, ... can be useful to check species classification. but dont't know, whether this system is used internalionally. -- Turnvater Jahn 20:04, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Change log dates
Is if possible (to handle for the bot) to log a plant and change the date of the signation? Last week i recorded a lot of blooming plants, but had no internet access to log them. Thanks. -- Turnvater Jahn 02:50, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Well, one easy way is to just change your signature in preferences to include the date for the day you're logging for, then sign with * rather than *~ so it doesn't show the date twice. I'm not sure a bot could do it, since it wouldn't have any way of knowing which logs to alter. --SB_Johnny | talk 08:57, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I just meant, whether the bot which summarizes the data to create the bloom clocks (isn't it a bot?) uses the date of signature to determine finding times. Not, wheater a bot could change the date. But my question is answered, since it should work. Thanks.
 * And sorry for my bad edits. -- Turnvater Jahn 14:21, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Ah, I see. No, there is not bot for that yet. Adding the regional template adds the category which is picked up by the DPL. For example, when you (Turnvater Jahn) log a plant this month, you should also add bcpm/leilo/6 after the "| New Region 6 =" prompt on the middle template. For last month you use bcpm/leilo/5. For both this month and last month, you add bcpm/leilo/5, bcpm/leilo/6.

Templates to automate data summarization
I had a similar problem like dicussed in the section above: how to summarize and visualize logs automatically. I thought, a bot would be needed to do so, but i was wrong. The templates i wrote for the plant atlas (de) were inspired (and partially copied) from BCP, so the problem is really similar.

The solution i found consists of If you use the log list as template then, you can specify "xxx" and use one list to draw a map, search for entries of a specified user, draw a visual bloom clock, categorize, ...
 * using a template to log, in spite of the signature, e.g. de:Vorlage:PPA/Fund (finding entry), de:Vorlage:PPA/Kartierer (mapping contributor), de:Vorlage:PPA/Kartierer/Ort (contributor location(s))
 * adding three parameters by "parameter = " for
 * what you want the template to do (show on map, report coords, ...),
 * search field and
 * search for what, when using the template.

Especially consider de:Projekt:Atlas der Blütenpflanzen/Quadranten (and click one of the green map entries), de:Projekt:Atlas der Blütenpflanzen/Kartierer and the species pages and subpages. E.g.
 * Alliaria petiolata (i like the icon bot top left),
 * its log page,
 * its map page

So if templates with specification of user name and date of sight in spite of just signatures, and contributor/location templates at the contributors page (like de:Vorlage:PPA/KartiererListe) were used on PCB, automatic bloom time visualization would be possible. Perhaps on a world map? -- Turnvater Jahn 00:14, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Well, we sort of have those templates already, but not in lieu of signatures. For one thing, "*~" is a lot easier for new contributors to log rather than a template (we do use templates later to mark things). For another, it would create difficulties with archiving (e.g., BCP/Taraxacum officinale would be a rather unattractive page if the entire list from BCP/Taraxacum officinale/Logs was on the page. --SB_Johnny | talk 08:36, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * It was just an idea. Of course, logging would be more time consuming and difficile, esp. for new contributors. Therfore i provide personalized log entry copy-and-paste templates on de:Projekt:Atlas der Blütenpflanzen/Kartierer (open the box). But the increased difficulty is an argument.
 * Archiving is no problem, i think. You can also include two log pages, like

 * But, as i said, just some idea. -- Turnvater Jahn 14:00, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Well, I had thought about using a separate archive page, but it ends up adding a lot of extra steps both in the profile-making process as well as simply making it more difficult to archive :-). A few other points:
 * Using the templates on the main profile page rather than on the log page allows multiple users from a single region to collaborate on a displayed result (see any profile for how that works, but the main thing is that it creates an easily understood list of when a plant has been seen blooming in a particular region, and also a link to a key).
 * Using the templates on the log page (let alone on both a log page and an archive log page) would cause serious issues when trying to apply DPL (which is needed both to semi-automatically create keys as well as compare bloom time data from region to region).
 * We actually do have some relatively simple-to use templates available (much simpler than the ones I think you're talking about), but even those are difficult to explain: (and (no offense, but) you yourself still have not gone back to add them... Category:BCP/LEILO/5's pages were all templated by me (and I don't think I got them all).
 * Keep in mind that I'm not a programmer or anything, but the templates we have now are the results of almost 2 years of experimentation. A template that can create maps would be wonderful, but the primary thrust of the bloom clock is to serve as a research project, and the templates we have now serve that purpose quite well. Once you've familiarized yourself with how to use what we have, you'll be in a much better place to see how they can be improved upon :-). --SB_Johnny | talk 14:44, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, didnt't want to appear as smart ass, just referred to our conversation about bots. And sorry for not adding the templates, i already have a list of approx. 50 logs not done yet. i've spent a lot of time to PPA. -- Turnvater Jahn 19:30, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No hurry :). Keep in mind though that the global-temperate comparison needs those categories to work (see worksheet). That's where the "research" side of things really kicks in.--SB_Johnny | talk 08:20, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the link, from there i came to Template:Bcp-gtdpl, which uses dynamicpagelist. I was looking for something like category intersection, which is not available in wp.de. But dynamicpagelist is. Schould be an alternative. -- Turnvater Jahn  undefined

(reset tabs) You mean wv.de, I think? Yeah, I have quite a few templates now using DPL (still experimenting), see Category:Bloom clock project templates/DPL. Eventually all the keys will use these templates, since they're a bit more intuitive to use in comparison to just typing in the actual DPL scripts. --SB_Johnny | talk 18:39, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Template updates
It's time once again to get a bot run to modify the bottom template:

First, we need "graminoid" to differentiate between herbaceous forbs and herbaceous grasses

Second, some of the fields on the bottom are causing prblems for genus profiles, since they only allow one option when there might be several options that apply to a genus. For example, for Acer (maples), you need to be able to classify leaf complexity as pinnately compound (e.g., A. negundo), trifoliate (e.g., A. griseum), and simple (most other maples), and the same applies to lobes, petioles, and so on. I really want to start working on botanical keys during the winter, so it will have to be changed to allow more answers (switching them all to simple y/n/blank answers). This means a bunch of new fields on the bottom template, or perhaps just a new template for leaf descriptions only.

Third, I want to add a 4th (or 5th?) template for hardiness zones. This would just list the usda hardiness zones from 1-12, and would be filled in to say if a plant is hardy, tender, annual or biennial in a given hardiness zone. The goal there is to gather horticultural data so that gardeners and designers could use the project to select plants for color and season when doing a design.

I've also been thinking about adding height and spread, both for horticultural selection and for identification, but not uite sure how the fields would be defined, so that might wait until the next update.

I'll start working up a scratch version over the next few days (will be raining here). --SB_Johnny talk 09:41, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Central Minnesota
I'd like to get more involved with the BCP, and to be perfectly honest I have no idea how the system works and would like to learn so I don't "mess anything up". :-D Anyway, now that it's almost October in good old (cold!) Minnesota where I live, I'm not going to be too much help in logging blooms, but I'd like to help set up the keys. Any data sorting, etc. that I can help out with? I'd also like to start setting up a key for central Minnesota, as I know a few nature centers around here that might like to bring the BCP into their program. What do I need to do to get started? Trinity507 17:43, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Maintainers
Hey,

are there still any maintainers of this project around?--Juandev (discuss • contribs) 19:43, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Getting involved
I just recently discovered this page, even though I have been dabbling in wikiversity for the last couple of years. The topic of bloom time in different regions of the world is something I am interested in as an on-and-off gardner.

I have a question regarding participation. The page says: Since I am not interested enough to become a serious student, how else can I get involved?
 * "To participate, read the page on How to Contribute, then go to the Contributors page and sign in"

Redirect?
There is so little content here I'm inclined to redirect it to LIBIS KB-6. I'll wait for comment though, and in the meantime add it to that page as another variant after the LIBIS 160. Still needs a ref - the Slovenian wiki article does not have one either.TSRL (talk) 16:29, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Do not make a redirect. This is not the subtype of the KB-6 aircraft. This plane was newly developed at the time. Thank you very much Nareto 14:54, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Can you supply a ref? Though the LIBIS 160 is described in detail in Jane's 1964/5, the group is not mentioned again. Do you know its history?. Cheers,TSRL (talk) 20:27, 20 September 2017 (UTC) Where, for example does the data come from? I note the dimensions and wing area are the same as the original KB-6; what, engine apart, were the differences.TSRL (talk) 20:48, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Something to consider: if you set up your Sandbox, you can develop articles away from other editors, then upload it when you're happy with it.

Talk:Calvin and Hobbes/Archive 5

"Altered dialog" and "missing strip"
Can anyone point me in the direction of more information of the entire changed strip, and two strips with altered dialog, mentioned in this article? <IP_ADDRESS> 00:11, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Cheers for that. I actually found the original two of the edited strip, along with the generally-released version of the "missing" strip, and I'm pleased to say I know them all :D Still like to know the other set of altered dialog, and to find the "original" version of the missing strip, if anyone else can help.
 * <IP_ADDRESS> 11:59, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

 * See this old discussion, which we went through trying to figure out just which strips were missing and altered. Anville 14:11, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Transmog-rifier
I think this may be spelled Transmog-rifier...that's how Calvin writes ot, and that's how it appears in speech bubbles... --Wack'd About Wiki 15:44, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Maybe it's written differently outside the US & UK, but every published strip in those countries uses transmogrifier. Feezo (Talk) 22:01, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm with Feezo on this, am pretty sure it's just spelled transmogrifier in its original incarnation, and so the article ought to show it as such. -- Oscar The Cat talk [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px]] 22:21, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Social criticisms
I rewrote this section to improve the style, and it seems to me that the last paragraph is out of place. I removed it from "social criticisms" section, since it's more of a detailed example of Calvin's complex relationship with Hobbes. The original version of the section is here. Feezo (Talk) 10:01, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

This section should also describe how the strip deals with environmental issues and opinion polls. Feezo (Talk) 10:10, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

External links again
Number of external links is growing again. Perhaps the External links section ought to highlight what's special about each site, rather than just "Mike's C&H Site", "Billy-Bob's C&H Site" etc, and any which don't have redeeming features get removed? -- Oscar The Cat talk 04:58, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I think people should list the special features right here in the "discussion page".--Feline Fanatic 13 talk

Proposal - how about we remove all the fan sites from the article? Each of them appear to host copies of Calvin strips, host entire pages cut+pasted from Watterson material, or indeed host every Calvin+Hobbes strip ever produced. They each do Watterson a disservice by effectively "giving away" his material in this way, in my opinion. -- Oscar The Cat talk 07:42, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

I think that that is going a bit to far to remove EVERY SINGLE fan site. After all, the fans usually have a better output of Calvin and Hobbes than the official site has to offer. Having a few strips like Calvin and Hobbes Hideout can be allowed by fair use. The collection is minimal and they really serve as nothing but free advertising for the book collections. I do, however, agree with deleting the site with Every Calvin and Hobbes strip ever produced, as even though it has disclaimers it is still massively infringing on the Calvin and Hobbes copyright. I mean, you'd normally have to pay the official site for that archive. So I have no doubt it should be deleted. In fact, I'll do so right now. Mjg0503 02:47, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Character Articles
It really doesn't make sense to me that Moe has his own article, but Hobbes doesn't, And the charcters' articles are essentially what is listed here. There is some good expansion in them, but it isn't worth having their own articles. I think we should just migrate them over here and close them down. Does anybody else feel the same way? - Mjg0503 16:45, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * How about the characters have a single sentence about them in the main article, with a link to their own article? Would merging all the character articles into this one make the main article a little too cumbersome? -- Oscar The Cat talk [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px]] 17:07, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I just mean we should merge them with this article, and leave the charcter section basically the same, since the character articles are basically "bigged up" versions of what is already here. And at least if you are going to have them for Moe (Who is really nothing but a prototypical jerk), make one for Hobbes. - Mjg0503 18:10, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * See this RfC relating to the character articles. Feezo (Talk) 22:54, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info Feezo. So looking at Articles for deletion/Moe, the concensus is to keep individual character articles.  Suggest the only remaining actions are to
 * create an article on Hobbes
 * review the character details on the main Calvin and Hobbes page, in order to keep duplication with individual character articles to a minimum
 * Sound reasonable? -- Oscar The Cat talk [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px]] 07:53, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * No, it does not sound reasonable. Instead, I think we should just merge all the character stubs into Secondary characters in Calvin and Hobbes, and keep Hobbes in the main article. Anybody agree with me?.--Feline Fanatic 13 talk [[Image:Flag_of_Australia.svg|25px| ]]
 * I agree with FelineFanatic13. The two main characters are described well enough in the main article, and there isn't enough information to fill a well written article about any of the minor characters. Feezo (Talk) 03:03, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Okay everyone, we appear to have an edit war between User:John oh (who wants character articles seperate) and User:FelineFanatic13 (who wants character articles merged). I have asked each of them to post their reasoning behind their preference here on this Talk page. Anyone else having opinions should also discuss here. I hope we can quickly come to a reasonable concensus between us all. Background : it is proposed that the following articles be merged into the Secondary_characters_in_Calvin_and_Hobbes article and then removed as articles themselves. -- Oscar The Cat talk 08:35, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Susie Derkins (Calvin and Hobbes character)
 * Miss Wormwood (Calvin and Hobbes Character)
 * Rosalyn (Calvin and Hobbes character)
 * Moe (Calvin and Hobbes character)

 * I also agree with FelineFanatic13, about the character articles moving to secondary characters in Calvin and Hobbes. Having a million articles about the same subject is just not going to work. It would be as if we made each section of this article into its own individual article. - Mjg0503 19:25, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Sometimes it's appropriate to have multiple articles on the same topic, (See Wikipedia is not paper) but I don't think that's the case here. Feezo (Talk) 10:48, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * My only concern was that the Secondary characters article could grow too big. However, given that more C&H strips are unlikely, the size of the pieces on each character should be fairly static.  So a merge sounds good to me. -- Oscar The Cat talk [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px]] 10:55, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I just went back and read the AfD debates for Susie (1, 2), Moe (3), and Miss Wormwood. (4) There is a strong consensus to keep Miss Wormwood and Susie, so I'm going to go ahead and remove those merge tags. Feezo (Talk) 11:50, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks, I've striked out those from the list above. -- Oscar The Cat talk [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px]] 11:54, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Personally, I think we should merge all of the character stubs, including Miss Wormwood and Susie Derkins, into Secondary_characters_in_Calvin_and_Hobbes. But if no one else agrees with me, we should at least merge Moe, Rosalyn, and Calvin (Calvin and Hobbes character), which aren't to well written.--Feline Fanatic 13 talk [[Image:Flag_of_Australia.svg|25px| ]]

 * I agree that all secondary characters should be merged to Secondary_characters_in_Calvin_and_Hobbes, per WP:FICTION. However, I would disagree that Calvin (Calvin and Hobbes character) be merged here.  This article is already 70kb, which is too long for article length.  Editors should consider splitting this article somewhat per guidance at WP:BREAK. Happy editing! Hiding  talk 14:11, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Irene Savidge

Irene "Marjorie" Savidge became Irene Gentle (9 June 1905 – 26 March 1985) was a British factory worker and subject of police interrogation who became involved in a scandal. A charge of indecency against her and Sir Leo Chiozza Money was dismissed by magistrates, but she was later detained again and subjected to a five-hour interrogation by male officers. Her complaints led to a public inquiry concerning police procedures and later a royal commission.

Life
Savidge was born in Tottenham in 1905. She became a radio valve-tester in New Southgate and was engaged to Frank Gentle.

In November 1927, she was introduced to the 57 year old Sir Leo Chiozza Money who was married and had been a government minister. Over the next few months they would go out together to the theatre or for dinner. Savidge's parents, Alice and John Savidge were aware of their friendship. On 23 April 1928, they went for a meal together and afterwards they went to Hyde Park. Officers of the Metropolitan Police arrested them, claiming that they were engaged in mutual masturbation and that Money's genitals were in view. Money claimed that he had been offering Savidge advice on her career. They were both arrested and charged with indecent behaviour, but the case was dismissed by the Marlborough Street magistrate, who awarded costs of £10 against the police.

At the time of his arrest, Money protested to the police that he was "a man of substance" and, once in custody, was permitted to telephone the Home Secretary, Sir William Joynson-Hicks. The two were released and then the Director of Public Prosecutions, Sir Archibald Bodkin suspected police perjury and asked for further investigation. Bodkin appointed an experienced officer Chief Inspector Alfred C. Collins to investigate.

On 15 May, Savidge was collected from work by two officers, one being Lilian Wyles, and taken for interrogation, which lasted some five hours. It was conducted without a female officer being present, since Wyles was told to leave by Collins. Savidge was required to show the police her petticoat, whose colour and brevity they duly noted and at a certain point Collins caressed her knee.

Savidge complained about her treatment and there followed an adjournment debate in the House of Commons on 17 May 1928, initiated by Labour MP, Tom Johnston. Joynson-Hicks established a public inquiry under Sir John Eldon Bankes (a retired Lord Justice of Appeal), which quickly became known as the Savidge Inquiry and the press was clear that it was the police who were on trial for their behaviour. The inquiry criticised the excessive zeal of the police, but also exonerated Savidge's interrogators of improper conduct. However, the Royal Commission on Police Powers and Procedure was then set up between September 1928 and March 1929, and this led to reforms in the way that the police dealt with female suspects. It also enabled a number of public figures to articulate their view that the police should primarily enforce law and order, rather than "trying to be censors of public morals".

In August 1928 it was reported that Savidge was considering offers to appear on the stage. Savidge married Frank Gentle in 1929. He had stood by her through the scandal. She died in the hospital in Minehead in 1985.

Nadjib Mohammedi

Nadjib Mohammedi (born 12 March 1985 in Gardanne) is a French professional boxer and light heavyweight world title challenger.

Career
Mohammedi turned professional in 2005 and became the France light heavyweight champion in 2008. However, he lost the title a year later in 2009 in an early TKO defeat by Thierry Karl in the first round. Mohammedi would bounce back from his defeat against Karl and become light heavyweight champion of France again in 2013 after defeating Patrick Bois via unanimous decision.

Mohammedi garnered a lot of attention to himself in 2014 after defeating Anatoliy Dudchenko in a 7th round TKO victory which moved him into position to challenge Bernard Hopkins for the IBF light heavyweight title. Mohammedi went on to face Demetrius Walker on the undercard of the Kovalev vs. Hopkins bout and won via KO victory in the 1st round. He announced a deal with boxing promotion company Main Events less than a week after his defeat of Walker. He is currently trained by Abel Sanchez.
