Talk:Puzzles

I think that the section "statistical puzzles" should rather read "probability puzzles" since this describes the nature of the contributed riddles more precisely (and there are really few statistical puzzles out there going beyond probability theory). However, it seems a bit tedious to make the change because of the references already in place -sboehringer

It's really nice to see so much interest! I'll try to put up some more cool puzzles (and of course I'd love to have some more puzzles put up by other people so that I can also try to solve a few :) Thomas

Suggestion: I think once we have more than 20 or so problems we should split them up into subcategories. Thomas

Suggestion: I think it will be easier to create for each puzzle an own solution page and put a link at the bottom of each puzzle. doopdoop

 * I agree, maybe we should have (at least) two levels of hierarchy in our book: 1. subcategories which contain a list of puzzles for each type 2. a page for each puzzle + an 'official solution' page for this puzzle (the talk page of a puzzle could be used to discuss clarifications, alternate solutions, ...) Thomas
 * Suggested structure (partially inspired by the rec.puzzles archive -> now implemented)

 * What about the classical n-queens or traveling salesman problems?

--Eibwen 07:10, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Overview

 * Two 4's equals 64?: solved
 * Knights, Knaves & Spies: solved
 * Knights, Knaves & Spies II: solved
 * Lying about your Age: solved
 * 12 coins: solved
 * Sharing Milk: solved
 * The Burning Island: solved
 * Crossing the River: solved
 * Crossing the River II: solved
 * Connecting Stars: solved
 * Getting out of Prison: solved
 * Three Daughters: solved
 * Weighings once more: solved
 * Rubber band: solved
 * Digits of the Square: solved
 * Hats: solved
 * Three Knights: solved
 * Pizzas: solved
 * Luxury Cars: solved
 * Connecting Utilities: solved
 * Yet another Weighing: solved
 * Escaping from Prison: solved
 * Scales and Weights: solved, open for better solutions
 * Two Boys and a River: open
 * The Pentagon: open
 * Boy, Girl, and a Dog: open
 * Barrel of Ale: open

Note: even if a problem is solved, you should try and solve it without looking at the solution on the talk page. That way we increase the chance of getting alternative solutions!

I've implemented the structure suggested by doopdoop. Every problem now has it's own problem page and solution page. Also, I think we can use a problem's talk page to vote on the difficulty (say from 1-10, where 1=very easy to 10=(almost) impossible). Thomas

Self-created puzzles
I presume that we're allowed to put puzzles that we created ourselves onto the page, right? Or not? Eric119 21:49, 11 Oct 2003 (UTC)

 * Absolutely! I think that's at least as interesting as gathering the 'standard' puzzles that are out there. Thomas

 * Only as interesting? Surely it's more interesting.  If we were only going to copy other sites/books, what would be the point? -- Smjg 15:13, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Naming Conventions
I would like to suggest that we start adding a "- Puzzle" to the title of Puzzle pages. This would avoid naimng conflicts with other Wikibooks and furthermore make it more easy to detect new and open puzzles in the Recent changes. Thomas
 * Hi, I am new here (in fact I just created my account), but I'd suggest to put "Puzzle:" to the front, like in the pages of Cookbook. It should help to keep books together, and I wonder why this is not a standardized policy on Wikibooks yet... --Andreas Ipp 14:59, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * A little late for that? --Divinity 17:27, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Not at all. Better late than never.  I hereby propose a hierarchy, so that the names'll look like this:
 * Puzzles - contents page
 * Puzzles:Logic puzzles - section page
 * Puzzles:Logic puzzles:Knights, Knaves & Spies - puzzle page
 * Puzzles:Logic puzzles:Knights, Knaves & Spies:Solution - solution page
 * And get the navigation header on every page while we're at it. Moreover, there are even some pages that have pathologically meaningless titles - just look at Puzzles:Lateral puzzles for instance.  Let's get cleaning at once!  (I've already done puzzles 5 and 7 there, so you can see what I mean.  But still, shouldn't they all have more descriptive titles?) -- Smjg 15:26, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * So to implement these ideas, you move the pages and redo all the links? Borbrav 18:01, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes. I've started on it.  We can all work on it.  And while we're at it, we should make sure all pages have the navigation header, and that the navigation header has a line below it. -- Smjg 10:32, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Some pages are acquiring poorly laid out navigation headers, like this

 * Puzzles | Puzzles:Logic puzzles | Puzzles:Logic puzzles:Knights, Knaves & Spies | Solution

That's something else to fix in the process. It should look like this:

 * Puzzles | Logic puzzles | Knights, Knaves & Spies | Solution

-- Smjg 18:02, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

I've just created some navigation header templates, which we could use to make life easier. So now we can do

 * etc. up to hc-navhead6.
 * etc. up to hc-navhead6.
 * etc. up to hc-navhead6.

A little less cumbersome than doing it manually, don't you think?

I've used it on Puzzles/Logic puzzles/Gold Coins. But I suppose we don't need to go through the ones we've already fixed changing them to use this template quite yet. Note that they automatically include the horizontal line - hopefully this'll see the end of people omitting it. -- Smjg 18:06, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Bot spec
I've written the following specification, which should enable User:Tsca.bot to get to work. I suggest that this stays here for a few days, giving people time to suggest changes to the spec, before the bot starts work. -- Smjg 17:52, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Pass 1: Fix the page titles
Starting from the main Puzzles page, follow the links. Move each page to its correct title if it isn't already, using the displayed text of the link by which the page was reached.

For example, the page linked as Two-player games from the main Puzzles page shall become Puzzles:Two-player games. The page linked as Picking Game under that page shall become Puzzles:Two-player games:Picking Game.

Special cases to observe:

 * 1) Ignore navigation header links (see below) during this stage of the process.
 * 2) If a colon appears in the text of a link, ignore all text preceding the colon when generating the new page name.
 * 3) If the link text begins with a lowercase letter, change the first letter to uppercase when generating the title.  For example, Puzzles:Arithmetical puzzles:Three Daughters:Solution not Puzzles:Arithmetical puzzles:Three Daughters:solution.
 * 4) If the text of a link contains the word solution, then use Solution by itself as the name at that level rather than the whole text of the link.
 * 5) If two or more pages link to the same page (either directly or via redirects), then go by the link on the first page that was encountered.  For example, some puzzles have hint pages as well as the solution page, and have both hint and solution links from the main puzzle page.  The hint page may also have a solution link.  Invariably, you will reach the main puzzle page before the hint page.  Consequently, the solution page will be a child page of the main puzzle page, not of the hint page.
 * 6) Two pages, namely Number sequences and Riddles, display several puzzles at once, each with its own solution page.  I'm not sure how the solution pages should be named at the moment.  Meanwhile, I suggest that we skip processing these pages, and then maybe we can deal with them later.

Pass 2: Tidying up the pages
Once the pages are at their correct titles, the bot can then work at tidying up the pages themselves. On the main Puzzles page, I believe the only thing that needs doing is to update the links. On the pages within the book, there is the following work to do:

 * 1) Make sure every page has a navigation header.  Use the hc-navhead2, hc-navhead3, etc. templates, replacing any manually typed header that may be present on the page.  It is sufficient to check whether the page begins with a link back to Puzzles, and if so, delete the whole line.  Any horizontal line immediately below the nav header should also be removed, since the hc-navhead templates automatically include one.
 * 2) Apart from that which is in the navigation header, there should be no repetition of the puzzle title at the beginning of the page content as is present on some of the How do you ... ? pages.
 * 3) Adjust all links to point to the pages by their new, hierarchical names, and make the display text exactly match the final part of the title.
 * 4) Link text should be non-bold.

Changes
If you wish to propose or discuss any changes or additions, please do so here.

Recent attempts
Withinfocus, who added cleanup-NC, obviously didn't practise what the notice preaches by looking at this talk page. As it happens, at least two users - Think Fast and SBJohnny - have undertaken to implement the slashes convention, while at the same time failing to agree on other common-sense conventions ("Logic puzzles" vs. "Analytical Puzzles"). There are also plenty of other cleanups that could be done to the page titles as well as making them use slashes. -- Smjg 12:20, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Hah, I just saw this little dig even though I added that template many months ago. The addition of the template was perfectly valid. Should the naming convention need to be discussed it would be done here as it was in some form above. Flagging a poorly-organized book was my goal and that's what happened, therefore there was nothing I "didn't practice" and my actions are correct. My addition of the template does not require discussion, only the implementation of the naming change does. I'm writing this so that if others notice it they won't be afraid to mark books that need cleanup. This is an implementation of policy and all books should be well-formed here at Wikibooks. The naming suggestions above need improvement in many ways so that colon convention can be avoided, but that will be tackled when a user who knows categories and the slash convention well feels like taking the effort to reorganize here. I unfortunately do not have the time currently. -within focus 17:00, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Just to clarify, the system that has been mostly followed is that section titles ("Logic puzzles", etc.) are in sentence case, but individual puzzle titles are in title case. This makes a little sense, ISFA one might think of puzzle titles as like titles of a book, song, film, etc. whereas section titles are just descriptive phrases used to group the puzzles. But is it ideal?

It gets even more tricky when you consider that puzzles within Puzzles:Chess problems, and possibly a few others, have more or less descriptive titles rather than titles in the style of the others, and generally have puzzle titles in sentence case.

What are we going to do then? Before we do any more page moving, we should all agree on a convention for capitalising titles. We should also decide what to do with Puzzles:Number sequences, which currently has the puzzles all on one page and each solution on a page of its own. -- Smjg 18:06, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Non-scientific puzzles
There are some logical puzzles that are too simple to be called logical, or non-solveable, or too contradictory, but interesting nonetheless. I added a new section, Non-Scientific Puzzles. --Divinity 18:24, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

New Link Under Puzzle Resources
I added this link to a lot of riddles however the answeres aren't necessarily given to you so for a lot of them you might need to figure them out or check the Wu Forum however these are a lot of great riddles.* Riddles–Wu:Riddles I also added this link which has a wide variety of puzzles *Jim Loy's Puzzle Pages--<IP_ADDRESS> 19:39, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Some pages don't seem to belong
Is this supposed to be a book of puzzles, a book about puzzles or a book of links to puzzles? I'd think the former. In this case, some of the pages seem out of place:

 * Puzzles/Bongard problems and Puzzles/Sudoku are web links to puzzles. The former has a bit of information on what Bongard problems are, but that's an aside.  Of course, if somebody wants to create some puzzles of these kinds to publish in this book, that's fine.

 * Puzzles:Rubik's cubes and the other bullet points under Puzzles don't seem to make sense to have here. Of course a web page can present an applet for the user to play Rubik's cube or any mechanical puzzle, but Wikibooks isn't really the place for this.  You could argue that the right thing to have here is puzzles on how to construct specific Rubik's Cube patterns or perform specific manoeuvres, but that's still probably not the right title for such a section.

-- Smjg 18:16, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree, they do not belong here.

I will try to reorder or remove them.

The Genealogist

The Genealogist is a bi-annual genealogical journal founded in 1980 by Neil D. Thompson, a fellow of the American Society of Genealogists (ASG). Articles are published in full detail, including references. The journal allows shorter articles, but focuses on articles that are often too large or complex for other genealogical publishing forums. Each issue has a minimum of 128 pages.

Goals
The primary goals of the periodical are the same as the ASG:

 * "To advance genealogical research standards and to encourage publication of the results"
 * "To secure recognition of genealogy as a serious subject of research in the historical and social fields of learning"

Editors
The Genealogist is currently edited by Charles M. Hansen, Colonel, US Army retired, FASG and Gale Ion Harris, Ph.D., FASG.

Publication
From 1997 (vol. 11) to 2009 (vol. 23), the journal was published by Picton Press. Since Vol. 24, No. 1 (Spring 2010), it has been published and distributed directly by the American Society of Genealogists.

Puzzles/Logic puzzles/Lying about your Age

Puzzles | Logic puzzles | Lying about your Age

Annie, Betty, Carrie, Darla, and Eve recently found out that all of their birthdays were on the same day, though they are different ages. On their mutual birthday, they were jabbering away, flapping their gums about their recent discovery. And, lucky me, I was there. Some of the things that I overheard were...

 * Darla said to Betty: "I'm nine years older than Eve."
 * Eve said to Betty: "I'm seven years older than Annie."
 * Annie said to Betty: "Your age is exactly 70% greater than mine."
 * Betty said to Carrie: "Eve is younger than you."
 * Carrie said to Darla: "The difference between our ages is six years."
 * Carrie said to Annie: "I'm ten years older than you."
 * Carrie said to Annie: "Betty is younger than Darla."
 * Betty said to Carrie: "The difference between your age and Darla's is the same as the difference between Darla's and Eve's."

Since I knew these people -- and how old they were, I knew that they were not telling the whole truth. After thinking about it, I realized that when one of them spoke to somebody older than herself, everything she said was true, but when speaking to somebody younger, everything she said was false.

How old is each person?

List of San Marino international footballers

The San Marino national football team (Nazionale di calcio di San Marino) represents the nation of San Marino in the international association football. It is fielded by the San Marino Football Federation (Federazione Sammarinese Giuoco Calcio), the governing body of football in San Marino, and competes as a member of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), which encompasses the countries of Europe. The San Marino Football Federation became affiliated with the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (English: International Federation of Association Football) (FIFA) in 1988 and the country's first international match took place two years later on 14 November 1990 against Switzerland in a UEFA Euro 1992 qualifier. San Marino's first result that was not a defeat was a 0–0 draw at home to Turkey in a 1994 FIFA World Cup qualifier on 10 March 1993, and the team's first and only win came over 10 years later after Liechtenstein were beaten 1–0 in a friendly on 28 April 2004.

Since 1990, 97 players have appeared for the San Marino national team, all of whom are listed here. Defender Damiano Vannucci holds the record for most caps, having appeared 64 times for San Marino from 1996 to 2011. The side's all-time top scorer is Andy Selva, who with eight goals from 57 caps is the only player to have scored more than one goal for San Marino. The team's most-capped goalkeeper, Federico Gasperoni, represented San Marino 41 times between 1996 and 2005. While San Marino have yet to qualify for the finals of a major international tournament, Davide Gualtieri holds the record for the fastest goal in a FIFA World Cup qualifier, scoring eight seconds into a 1994 World Cup qualifier against England on 17 February 1993.

Players
''Appearances and goals are composed of FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Football Championship qualification matches, as well as numerous international friendly matches. The years given in the column marked "national team career" are those of each player's first and last international cap. Players are listed by number of caps, then number of goals scored. If number of goals are equal, the players are then listed alphabetically. Statistics are correct as of the match played on 11 October 2011.''

Puzzles/Arithmetical puzzles/Luxury Cars

Puzzles | Arithmetical puzzles | Luxury Cars

A major luxury car company has three outlets on the east coast (in New York, Boston, and Miami) and two outlets on the west coast (in Los Angeles and San Francisco). The sales in Los Angeles were one quarter of the total sales plus one car. The sales in New York were one quarter of the rest (not counting the cars sold in L.A.) plus one car. The sales in San Francisco were one quarter of the rest (not counting L.A., N.Y.) plus one car. And the sales in Boston were one quarter of the rest (not counting L.A., N.Y., S.F.) plus one car. The balance so far showed that L.A. and San Francisco sold 100 cars more than N.Y. and Boston. However, with the remaining cars sold in Miami it is likely that the total sales of the east coast will be greater than the total sales of the west coast.

How many cars were sold in each city?

Final Cut (Battlestar Galactica)

"Final Cut" is the eighth episode of the second season of the reimagined Battlestar Galactica television series. It aired originally on the Sci Fi Channel on September 9, 2005.

In the episode, journalist D'Anna Biers tapes a report on life aboard Galactica and uncovers a plot against Colonel Saul Tigh. She discovers the pregnant Number Eight copy (Sharon) being held secretly aboard the ship, but Commander William Adama forbids her to include it in her final report. However, Biers is a Cylon, and she shares the footage of Sharon with her Cylon brethren.

"Final Cut" received mixed critical reception.

Plot
In "Resistance", Tigh ordered supplies taken by force from civilian ships. On the civilian ship Gideon, Marines commanded by Lieutenant Joe Palladino opened fire on a hostile but unarmed crowd of civilians, killing four.

Biers is preparing a report on what she calls the "Gideon massacre." Hoping to influence Biers to produce a more "balanced" report, Adama grants her unrestricted access to document life aboard Galactica.

Biers conducts frank interviews with crew members and captures some pilots' hijinks on camera. After Kat overdoses on stimulants and botches a landing, Biers follows her to Galactica's sickbay. There, she discovers Doctor Cottle treating Sharon for a complication with her pregnancy. Adama confiscates the footage, but Biers secretly keeps a copy. She then records the crew during a successful defense against incoming Cylon Raiders and uncovers a disgruntled Palladino as the perpetrator of death threats and an assassination attempt on Tigh.

In her final report, Biers describes arriving on Galactica with a bias against the crew but changing her mind. Pleased with the report, Adama recommends it be shown throughout the fleet. On Caprica, several Cylons also watch the report, as well as the secret footage of Sharon. It is then revealed that Biers herself is a Cylon as another copy sits with the other Cylons. The Raider attack was so that the footage could be transmitted to the Cylons. Biers confirms that both Sharon and her child survived and calls the child "a miracle from God."

Deleted scene
In a scene deleted from the final episode, President Laura Roslin is shown coming up with the idea of inviting Biers to Galactica. She is motivated by the upcoming presidential election and demands from the Quorum of Twelve for an investigation of the Gideon incident.

Analysis
Jason Davis of Mania said the episode contrasts "the essential conservatism of the military... with the naturally liberal notions of the media." He also singles out Helo's observation during his interview with Biers that combat training seeks to make soldiers less human. Davis views this as part of an argument by the series's writers that humans and Cylons are similar. Lynnette R. Porter, David Lavery, and Hillary Robson agree that this "goes to the core of the series' major themes".

Susan A. George views Adama's request for a report that shows the positive and negative sides of his crew as parallel to the series's nuanced depiction of humanity.

Writing
The writers had been considering writing an episode focusing on a journalist aboard Galactica since the first season. Director Robert M. Young, who directed the first-season episode "Six Degrees of Separation", was brought back to direct "Final Cut" because of his experience as a documentarian. Executive producer David Eick had worked with actress Lucy Lawless (Biers) on the series Xena: Warrior Princess and tried to find a role for her in the first season. Lawless declined due to other commitments but agreed when offered the role in "Final Cut". Executive producer Ronald D. Moore cites journalist Christiane Amanpour as a model for Biers's character.

Biers's monologue at the end of her report, in which she acknowledges the crew's imperfections but lauds their heroism and resilience, reflects Moore's own "thesis of the show."

In the episode, Biers interviews a number of secondary characters, including Anastasia "Dee" Dualla, Racetrack, and Lieutenant Felix Gaeta. Moore encouraged the actors playing these characters (in these cases, Kandyse McClure, Leah Cairns, and Alessandro Juliani, respectively) to improvise their interviews extensively and teach him "things I didn't know about these people that I created." This is also the first time Dualla and Gaeta's first names are presented to the audience.

Moore considers the episode to be mainly a character piece about Galactica's crew. He said that the subplot focusing on Palladino's threats against Tigh serves only to inject what he considered was a baseline level of tension required in a television episode and admitted that he was never satisfied with it. The first draft had Palladino shooting himself at the end of his confrontation with Tigh, but the writers considered this "gratuitous" and rewrote it to have Marines arrest him instead.

Filming
According to Moore, the decision not to include any exterior shots during the battle with the Raiders was a creative choice. Showing the reactions in the CIC and hangar deck to the pilots' audio transmissions was, in his view, truer to the episode's documentary style.

Flick Harrison, the actor who plays Biers's cameraman, is a cameraman in real life. His camera is also real, and he shot some of the footage in "Final Cut" with it.

Music
At the end of Biers's report, a part of the "Colonial Anthem" from the original Battlestar Galactica plays over images of Galactica crew members. Composer Bear McCreary collaborated with Stu Phillips, who wrote "Colonial Anthem", to produce the track. McCreary called the collaboration "one of the highlights of the second season."

Reception
"Final Cut" received mixed critical reception. Davis gave the episode an A−, praising Lawless's performance in particular. Simon Brew appreciated the surprise reveal of Biers as a Cylon but criticized numerous other elements of the episode. Susan Tankersley of Television Without Pity gave "Final Cut" a C, saying that Moore's premise that the characters are "flawed but heroic" had been evident from the beginning of the series and did not require a dedicated episode. Jacob Clifton of Television Without Pity wrote in a review of a later episode that "'Final Cut' wasn't that bad—I liked it a lot, actually, and it's still better than most things you can see on the TV." He later compared it favorably to the episodes "Litmus", "The Farm", and "Scar"; he gave the last of these an A−.

Porter, Lavery, and Robson called "Final Cut" "one of [the series's] best episodes" but called the Palladino subplot "mostly routine". John Kubicek of BuddyTV ranked "Final Cut" as the 20th best episode of the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica and called the episode "fascinating".

Physics Study Guide/Normal force and friction

The Normal Force
Why is it that we stay steady in our chairs when we sit down? According to the first law of motion, if an object is translationally in equilibrium (velocity is constant), the sum of all the forces acting on the object must be equal to zero. For a person sitting on a chair, it can thus be postulated that a normal force is present balancing the gravitational force that pulls the sitting person down. However, it should be noted that only some of the normal force can cancel the other forces to zero like in the case of a sitting person. In Physics, the term normal as a modifier of the force implies that this force is acting perpendicular to the surface at the point of contact of the two objects in question. Imagine a person leaning on a vertical wall. Since the person does not stumble or fall, he/she must be in equilibrium. Thus, the component of his/her weight along the horizontal is balanced or countered (opposite direction) by an equal amount of force -- this force is the normal force on the wall. So, on a slope, the normal force would not point upwards as on a horizontal surface but rather perpendicular to the slope surface.

The normal force can be provided by any one of the four fundamental forces, but is typically provided by electromagnetism since microscopically, it is the repulsion of electrons that enables interaction between surfaces of matter. There is no easy way to calculate the normal force, other than by assuming first that there is a normal force acting on a body in contact with a surface (direction perpendicular to the surface). If the object is not accelerating (for the case of uniform circular motion, the object is accelerating) then somehow, the magnitude of the normal force can be solved. In most cases, the magnitude of the normal force can be solved together with other unknowns in a given problem.

Sometimes, the problem does not warrant the knowledge of the normal force(s). It is in this regard that other formalisms (e.g. Lagrange method of undertermined coefficients) can be used to eventually solve the physical problem.

Friction
When there is relative motion between two surfaces, there is a resistance to the motion. This force is called friction. Friction is the reason why people could not accept Newton's first law of Motion, that an object tends to keep its state of motion. Friction acts opposite to the direction of the original force. The frictional force is equal to the frictional coefficient times the normal force.

Friction is caused due to attractive forces between the molecules near the surfaces of the objects. If two steel plates are made really flat and polished and cleaned and made to touch in a vacuum, it bonds together. It would look as if the steel was just one piece. The bonds are formed as in a normal steel piece. This is called cold welding. And this is the main cause of friction.

The above equation is an empirical one--in general, the frictional coefficient is not constant. However, for a large variety of contact surfaces, there is a well characterized value. This kind of friction is called Coulomb friction. There is a separate coefficient for both static and kinetic friction. This is because once an object is pushed on, it will suddenly jerk once you apply enough force and it begins to move.

Also, the frictional coefficient varies greatly depending on what two substances are in contact, and the temperature and smoothness of the two substances. For example, the frictional coefficients of glass on glass are very high. When you have similar materials, in most cases you don't have Coulomb friction.

For static friction, the force of friction actually increases proportionally to the force applied, keeping the body immobile. Once, however, the force exceeds the maximum frictional force, the body will begin to move. The maximum frictional force is calculated as follows:

The static frictional force is less than or equal to the coefficient of static friction times the normal force. Once the frictional force equals the coefficient of static friction times the normal force, the object will break away and begin to move.

Once it is moving, the frictional force then obeys:

The kinetic frictional force is equal to the coefficient of kinetic friction times the normal force. As stated before, this always opposes the direction of motion.

Variables
Definition of Terms

It's important to note, that in real life we often have to deal with viscose and turbulent friction - they appear when you move the body through the matter.

Viscose friction is proportional to velocity and takes place at approximately low speeds. Turbulent friction is proportional to $$V^2$$ and takes place at higher velocities.

Talk:Datta Gaekwad

Relation
DK Gaekwad was a distant relative to the Baroda royal family. Players, Patrons and the Crowd mentions another relationship through marriage :

 * Through the agency of Sardar WS Ghorpade, brother-in-law of Pratapsingh and captain of the Baroda side, he recruited many cricketers from other sides ... Later additions to the Baroda side included ... DK Gaekwad, a distant relative of the royal house who married daughter of Sardar WS Ghorpade, .. p.45).

Thus according to this source, DK was the brother-in-law of JM Ghorpade whose father WS Ghorpade was the brother-in-law of Maharaja Pratapsinghrao Gaekwad. But there is not much to corroborate either of the relations. WS Ghorpade was the father of Test cricketer J.S. Ghorpade and Fatehsinghrao Gaekwad was the son of Pratapsingh. If WS Ghorpade was the b-i-l of Pratapsingh, he should have been the uncle of Fatehsinghrao. But Cricketarchive mentions JS Ghorpade - and not WS - as the uncle of Fatehsinghrao.

Indian Princely States mentions of a daughter of Pratapsinghrao who was married to a Ghorpade. This Ghorpade is unlikely to be either the brother or son of WS Ghorpade and that confuses the matter further.

Cricketarchive also doesn't mention any relations between Ghorpades and Gaekwad.

Aboubacar Sissoko

Aboubacar Sissoko (born 9 October 1995) is a Malian professional footballer who plays for Atlético Ottawa in the Canadian Premier League.

Early life
Sissoko was born in Bamako, Mali and moved to Montreal, Quebec in 2006 when his father, a diplomat, was posted there.

He began playing youth soccer with CS Mont-Royal Outremont, later joining Longueuil. In 2015, he won the Silver Ball with the U21 team of CS Mont-Royal Outremont in the LSEQ U21 division. In 2016, he played at the senior amateur level in the LSEQ with CS Panellinios.

University career
In 2015, he began attending the Université de Montréal, where he played for the Carabins men's soccer team, joining his brother who also played for the team. He was named the Carabins' Rookie of the Year in 2015. In 2017, he was named captain of the team.

He helped the Carabins win reach the national championship three years in a row from 2017 to 2019, helping them win their first national title in 2018, as well as silver medals in 2017 and 2019. He was an RSEQ First Team All-Star three times from 2017 to 2019, as well as a U Sports First Team All-Star in 2019. He was also named an RSEQ Indoor First-Team All-Star in 2017-18.

After the 2019 season, he won the Joe Johnson Memorial Trophy as the most outstanding U Sports men's soccer player, after having been named the RSEQ Player of the Year earlier. He was also named the Montreal Carabins Athlete of the Year, across all of their sports teams.

In June 2020, he was named the U Sports Athlete of the Year for 2019-20. He became the first Carabin to ever win the honour. As part of the award, he earned a $10,000 schaolarship.

Club career
In 2014, he appeared with CS Longueuil in the Première ligue de soccer du Québec. From 2017 to 2019, he played for CS St-Hubert in the Première ligue de soccer du Québec. In November 2018, at the 2018 CPL-U Sports Draft, Sissoko was selected 12th overall by Canadian Premier League club Forge FC. He attended pre-season with the club, but did not earn a contract. After leaving Forge, he returned to St-Hubert for another season in 2019, after which he departed the PLSQ club to begin his professional career.

In November 2019, he signed with HFX Wanderers FC of the Canadian Premier League, ahead of the 2020 season. In February 2020, after signing his contract, but before beginning the 2020 season, he went on trial with Major League Soccer club Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Originally, the trial was to last for three days, but it was continually extended, finally ending after six weeks, after which he returned to join the Wanderers. In his third match on August 23, he earned Man of the Match honours against Cavalry FC. He helped the Wanderers reach the 2020 CPL Final, where they were defeated by Forge FC. He led the league with a 91% dribbling success rate that season. He was also named to the CanPL.ca 2020 Best XI.

In February 2021, he joined USL Championship club Indy Eleven.

In February 2022, he returned to the Canadian Premier League, signing with Forge FC. He made his debut for the club in a 2022 CONCACAF Champions League match against Cruz Azul on February 16. He won the league title with Forge in 2022. In 2023, he again helped Forge win the league title, for the second year in a row.

In February 2024, he signed with Atlético Ottawa on a two-year contract. On 13 April 2024, he made his debut in the season opener against York United FC.

International career
Sissoko represented the Mali U20 team at the 2015 African U-20 Championship qualification tournament in 2014. After returning to Canada following it, he was diagnosed with malaria and fell into a three-day coma.

Personal
While representing the Mali U20 team, Sissoko, along with his mother and sister, paid for the construction of two water wells in an arid rural area of Mali and later formed the Macine Foundation (named in honour of his parents) with his sister and two brothers, as a water-supplying charity, and have built additional wells.

Template:Post-nominals or equivalent
Hi Folks, I have a Spanish cardiologist Fausto J Pinto who seems to have a list of post nominals after his name. Serious dude. Is there an equivalent of the above for Spanish or Portuguese folk or indeed any other folk that has a similar fellowships that can be presented as a post nom. Thanks.  scope_creep Talk  11:39, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Looking at your last edit those are not really "post-nominals" but positions; I think you were correct in removing them. Arguably those could be fitted in the workplaces field in, but meh. Tigraan Click here to contact me 12:27, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Possibly something for later, but not what I'm talking about at the mo. I'm looking for Spanish or Portuguese Post-nominals template. 'Template:Post-nominals' has  collections for certain countries, but nowt for Spain of Portugal. Is there such a template.   scope_creep Talk  20:18, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * OK. I guess you could always modify the template for es/pt awards if you know what those are. itself is page-protected, but (looking at the code) all you need to do is create the appropriate country subpage. Looking at Template:Post-nominals/SRI for an example the format seems relatively simple. If you don't feel like doing it because it's too technical, give me a list of Wikipedia pages for the awards with their respective abbreviations and a ping and I will make the page.  Tigraan Click here to contact me 12:29, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * That is very nice of you and much appreciated. I admit it will take some of the load of. I can start with the medical ones I guess with the Portuguese group as they are probably the most relevant. I can check the appropriate articles and see if they are present. He has FESC, FACC, FSCAI and FASE. FESC is a Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology, FACC is Fellow of the American College of Cardiology, FSCIA is Fellow of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions and FASE is Fellow of the American Society of Echocardiography. For the Portuguese it will need to cover medical, military, chivalry and honours, government and parliament and miscellaneous, e.g. civil group. Taking a look at this: Orders, decorations, and medals of Portugal its basic listing with loads of medals. The one thing I found is some may seem notable but aren't e.g. when your Knighted in this country its not included in post-noms. So I think what will happen we can bundle it all in and see what needs to be pulled out later. Each one will need to be checked to ensure it is the correct acronym.  scope_creep Talk  15:49, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * My understanding of is that it only applies for government awards (linked to a specific country), so fellowships would not apply for the template; I also think they should not be included on policy grounds (we are not going to tack "PhD" as a post-nominal, virtually all researchers have a doctorate). Furthermore, I asked you for the list of (award, abbreviation) pairs precisely because I lack the ability to create the list myself; I can do the technical part if you cannot but reading stuff like Esquire makes me think it is easy to make a faux pas in that topic.  Tigraan Click here to contact me 09:35, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Not just government awards. Take a look at the GBR one, e.g. FSA = FSA. These are independent education institutions for this example, so it is not only government gongs. I will do the list. It will take me some time though to check all the Portuguese honours.  scope_creep Talk  11:11, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Error in Tibet article
To whom it may concern

There is a serious error in the TIBET article which may indicate bias by the writer, since what the Wikipedia text says ("between 200,000 and 1 million Tibetans were murdered by Chinese military") is not what the cited article says ("between 200,000 and 1million Tibetans may have died"). Note that during the Great Leap Forward large numbers of people across all of China died from the effects of malnutrition, and from outright starvation (see the Wikipedia article "Great Chinese Famine").

I think the text of the article should match the citation, or else the citation should be changed to one which matches the text of the article.

Thank you in advance for your help. Philip Harris

DETAILS OF ERROR: Inaccurate text in the Tibet article, in the section titled "From 1950 to present"

Current text: "During the Great Leap Forward, between 200,000 and 1,000,000 Tibetans were murdered by Chinese military [62]"

Proposed fix: This should be changed to read: "During the Great Leap Forward, between 200,000 and 1,000,000 Tibetans may have died [62]" Note 62 cites "World Directory of Minorities and Indigenous Peoples - China : Tibetans". Minority Rights Group International. July 2008. Archived from the original on November 1, 2014. Retrieved April 23, 2014.

The actual text from "World Directory of Minorities and Indigenous Peoples - China : Tibetans" at https://www.refworld.org/docid/49749d3dc.html says: "Land reforms and the loss of the lamas' traditional power led first to unrest in eastern Kham and Amdo in the mid-1950s. The Great Leap Forward period (during which anywhere between 200,000 and 1 million Tibetans may have died) was also one during which there was growing disdain shown by Chinese authorities to the traditional Tibetan religious and political leaders such as the Dalai Lama."

General Biology/Tissues and Systems/Epithelial Tissue

=Epithelial tissue= Comes from various sources, ectodermal or endodermal material. Cell sheet lines a surface or body cavity. One side, called freesurface or Apical, is exposed to The other side rests on the basal layer.
 * animal interior (forming the lumen) or
 * exterior of its body cavity.

Epithelial tissue is not penetrated by blood vessels.

Two categories:
 * sheets
 * glands

Classified on two features:
 * simple, (a single layer of cells),
 * stratified, (more than one cell layer.)

Cell shape at free surface:
 * squamous (broad and flat)
 * cuboidal (spherish)
 * columnar (tall and thin)

 * Simple squamous epithelium : usually lines body cavities and vessels,alveoli, glomeruli of kidney; in blood and lymph vessels called endothelium; in body cavities called mesothelium (serosae): parietal serous membranes line body wall, visceral serous membranes cover organ
 * Simple cuboidal epithelium : in ducts like kidney and salivary glands.
 * Simple columnar epithelium : nonciliated type lines digestive tract, ciliated type lines some regions of uterine tubes and lungs
 * Stratified squamous epithelium : (important) lines mouth, esophagus,and vagina. Cells sometimes dead, flat and keratinized, making them resistant to abrasion. Stratified squamous epithelium changes to columnar squamous epithelium progressively down esophagus to the stomach.
 * Epidermis : from epithelium. Below this is dermis, thicker and with blood vessels.

Two specialized epithelia:
 * pseudostratified
 * transitional

 * Pseudostratified epithelia : lines the trachea (where it is ciliated)and the male urethra (where it is non ciliated), looks stratified but not.
 * Transitional epithelia : found only in bladder and urinary system. As it stretches it appears to go from 6 to 3 cell layers deep.
 * Glandular epithelia : (gland: group of cells that excretes something.. mostly derived from epithelium. Glands are classified into endocrine and exocrine by where they excrete.
 * Endocrine glands : secrete hormones into the blood without use of ducts.
 * Exocrine glands : secrete onto the body surface or into a cavity, thru a duct. Exocrine substances include sweat, mucous, oil, and saliva. An exocrine gland is the liver, which secretes bile.

User:Mxn/Vietnamese

=Draft 1= Following is a draft outline of the planned Vietnamese Wikibook. These planned articles are pitifully out of order – I'd like them to be ordered by difficulty, and have one lead into the other, like an academic course would.

Note: This list has been modified and placed in a Table of Contents.

I plan to use some of the content on Học với Tôi, one of my websites, in this textbook.

=Draft 2=

This time, I'm going to aim at a more structured plan. The current Vietnamese book will be split into three levels, according to difficulty and amount of usage. Each book will have a goal (preliminary goals are stated below).

Each book – often more than once within the book – the same topic is repeated. Each time it is repeated, it is either a review, or a deeper look at the topic.

In the end, I'd like each chapter to have a title in Vietnamese, at least three exercises (or should the goal be two exercises until the next draft?), and

This plan won't take effect until the current book gets a decent amount of lessons started (half of them?). It'll probably also require that someone else helps me out.

I'm basing this plan on the experience I've had for three years so far, learning Spanish. If you have any questions, reservations, doubts, clarifications needed, comments, compliments, or flames – just kidding – feel free to respond on this page's Talk Page.

Level 1: Chào!
This book will get you started. It will focus on basic phrases, vocabulary, and structure. By the end, you should know enough to visit a Vietnamese community (not necessary in Vietnam) for a day and be able to minimally communicate with the people there.

Introduction

 * About the authors
 * History: do we really need this at the intro level, or can we have this as a cultural note later on?
 * Pros & cons

The Basics
The essential stuff that you need to know before you begin with vocabulary and grammar. Lessons:

 * Alphabet
 * Consonants
 * Vowels
 * Tones: just an introduction to tones and tone marks; we'll build on this lesson extensively later on
 * Numbers (single-digit)
 * Colors

Chào!
Starting a conversation by introducing yourself. Lessons:

 * Greetings
 * Introducing yourself
 * Saying goodbye

Cultural note:
 * The handshake: taking a look at shaking hands with others, as opposed to the tradition of bowing

Tôi Là... (?)
Describing yourself.

 * Age
 * Numbers (double-digit)
 * Physical characteristics (height, build, hair, facial characteristics)
 * Clothes: just enough to describe someone (red shirt, blue jeans, white cap)
 * Nationality

...

Cái Gì?
Asking questions. Lessons:

 * Interrogative pronouns (question words)

...

Level 2: Hàng Ngày
This intermediate-level book will expand on the vocabulary and structures introduced in Level 1. It will focus on everyday situations and tasks. By the end, you should be able to spend a few weeks (is that too much?) in Vietnam, communicating with the people around you.

Phòng Ngủ
The bedroom.

Phòng Tắm
(Or should we call it Phòng Cầu Tiêu?) The bathroom, its fixtures, toiletries, and so on.

 * Fixtures
 * Toiletries & associated actions

Phòng Bếp
The kitchen.

 * Appliances & associated actions

Ngon Lắm!
Learning about Vietnamese food. This is basically a cultural chapter (but it, of course, has tons of vocabulary), and an extension of possible cultural notes that could appear well before here.

 * Rice dishes
 * Soup
 * Sandwiches
 * Snacks
 * Beverages

This section should be so good that everyone who takes a course using this book should look forward to this section in particular. This would be a good opportunity for an instructor using this course to take the students on a field trip to a Vietnamese restaurant

Cultural note: We'll take a look at how the Vietnamese typically do not assign specific dishes to certain meals during the day (for example, eating phở or cháo (porridge) for breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner).

Nhà Hàng
Eating at the restaurant. (Or could we call it Tiệm ăn?)

 * Ordering food
 * Payment: we'll likely introduce the money topic earlier on

Level 3
This is the advanced academic-level book. By the end, you should be able to study various subjects in Vietnamese, such as mathematics and science.

Level 4
This is the highly-advanced book. By the end of this book, you should be able to read modern Vietnamese literature and study in Vietnamese.

Hydarnes the Younger

Hydarnes II, also known as Hydarnes the Younger (by contrast with his father Hydarnes the Old) was a Persian commander of the Achaemenid Empire in the 5th century BC. He was the son of Hydarnes, satrap of the Persian empire and one of the seven conspirators against Gaumata.

During the reign of Xerxes I, Hydarnes was one of the commanders for the Second Persian invasion of Greece in 480 BC. He was appointed as the leader of the 10,000-man contingent of "Immortals", while his brother Sisamnes commanded the levy of the Aryans.

On the first day of the Battle of Thermopylae, Hydarnes led the Immortals against the phalanx of Spartans under Leonidas I, but an attempt to break through failed. On the second day, a local resident named Ephialtes betrayed the Greeks by telling the Persians about a hidden goat path around Thermopylae. This enabled Hydarnes and his Immortals to pass behind the Spartans, Thespians and Thebans and, as a result, defeat them.

After the Persians were defeated at the Battle of Salamis, Xerxes I decided to return to Asia leaving a large army under Mardonius which wintered in Thessaly. Hydarnes wanted to stay at the side of the king and go back with him to Asia. So Xerxes tasked Hydarnes with the responsibility of getting the Persian army back over the Hellespont to Asia. After this, nothing further is reported about Hydarnes.

Another, Hydarnes, who was active during the reign of Darius II ((r. 423 – 404 BC)) was a descendant (perhaps grandson) of Hydarnes the Younger.

Shoofly Village Ruin

The Shoofly Village Ruin is an archaeological site located in the Tonto National Forest near Payson, Arizona.

In the 1980s Arizona State University (ASU) began the Payson Archaeological Research Expedition (PARE), a long-term research program that combined cultural resource management with an archaeological field school program. In cooperation with the Tonto National Forest, ASU personnel selected the Shoofly Village Ruins as the locale for the field school that began in 1984 and continued through four seasons. ASU personnel also conducted archaeological investigations in conjunction with a Tonto National Forest land exchange project. The goals of the research program were to define settlement patterns in the Payson region, in particular the relationship between the Shoofly Village and others, smaller with two to three structures, often three walled; rock-ringed roasting pits; and agricultural fields.

The Shoofly Village was built around 1000 CE, beginning a time of growth, development, and population aggregation. Occupation appears to have ended around 1300 CE.

A book by Charles L. Redman, People of the Tonto Rim: Archaeological Discovery in Prehistoric Arizona is a record of ASU's research on Shoofly Village. Redman presents a settlement model that defines household communities (small sites occupied by single households), hamlets, and primary villages. Four primary villages, of which Shoofly Village is the largest, are known to be present in the area. The primary villages are evenly spaced across the landscape within relatively large production zones. Shoofly occupies the northernmost position, a vantage that permitted special access to the resources directly below the Mogollon Rim and proximity to the route up and over the rim. Redman suggested that the spatial layout and architectural variability of the site indicates that it was a conglomeration of discrete units, each resembling individual hamlet sites. He proposes that formerly separate social groups, each with its own distinctive building traditions, joined to form the Shoofly Village. The village was built in four phases, with the "core" room block of contiguous masonry rooms constructed later than the surrounding compounds of low-walled, cobble-jacal masonry structures. This suggests that the architectural differences on which Redman focuses may be temporal as well as ethnic in origin, although the other primary villages in the area have a similar layout and presumably also building history.

Australian Equality Party (Marriage)

The Australian Equality Party (Marriage) (also AEP; formerly Australian Equality Party) was an Australian political party founded by Jason Tuazon-McCheyne. The AEP had a platform that promoted equality and human rights, particularly in relation to the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (GLBTIQ) community. The party's goal was to get AEP Leader, Jason Tuazon-McCheyne, elected to the Senate at the 2016 Federal Election. The party was deregistered voluntarily on 26 March 2018.

History
The Australian Equality Party was launched on 2 February 2014 by Jason Tuazon-McCheyne and his team at Melbourne's LGBTIQ Pride March in St Kilda. At that time the AEP released its first suite of policies relating to LGBTIQ people at the parade, including marriage equality, health and wellbeing issues for LGBTIQ people and reform for laws regarding LGBTIQ people's rights to adoption.

The AEP was registered with the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) on 9 October 2014. The Convenor of the AEP is Jason Tuazon-McCheyne. On 27 January 2016, the AEC approved a name change to append the word "Marriage" to the party's official name.

In 2014 the AEP was only active in Victoria, focusing on gathering support for its campaign to elect its leader Jason Tuazon-McCheyne as a Senator for the state of Victoria at the 2016 federal election.

In the 2016 federal election AEP fielded two senate candidates in each of Queensland, South Australia and Victoria, and three candidates in Victoria for the House of Representatives. None of these candidates were elected. The party received 0.87%, 0.38% and 0.49% of first preference votes in the three states it contested for Senate seats and 1.59% of first preference votes in its highest-polling House seat, Melbourne Ports.

Leadership
The leader of the AEP is Jason Tuazon-McCheyne, who works as a civil celebrant in the state of Victoria. Tuazon-McCheyne is married to his husband Adrian. They have a son and live in Melbourne's north west.

Deputy Leader Jacqueline Tomlins is a writer, campaigner and activist and has been involved in a variety of LGBTIQ related campaigns, particularly around marriage equality and a legal challenge in the High Court of Australia to a ban on recognition of overseas same-sex marriages in Australia.

Spanish/Lesson 3

Text
Here are a couple of sentences and short dialogs about people planning/doing leisure activities. Besides the new vocabulary you should also have a look at how the verbs are conjugated depending on the subject of the sentence.

As you may see, each verb is bolded. These verbs are conjugated, that is, changed by the person(s) to which they are referring. Notice that subject pronouns are not necessary.

Regular Verbs
Spanish has three different types of regular verbs: -ar, -er, and -ir verbs. The subject pronoun is not necessary and in conversational Spanish it is only used for emphasis. For this lesson, we will omit it. One can still use pronouns, however. The conjugation pattern is the following:

As one can see, the endings for each person are different. This is similar to other Romance languages, such as Portuguese and Italian (the notable exception is French). This is the reason why we may omit the pronouns while we speak. Remember that sometimes it is best to clarify whether él, ella, or usted is speaking, because they share the same form. However, the context of the rest of the sentence sometimes clarifies this. There are a few steps involved with conjugating a verb. Here are the steps involved:
 * 1) Take the ending off of the infinitive. This is either an -ar, -er, or -ir.
 * 2) Without the -ar, -er, or -ir, the verb is in its base form.
 * 3) Add the appropriate ending to the base of the verb.

Notice that there are only two differences between the conjugations of -er and -ir verbs. The nosotros (4) and vosotros (5) forms are the only differences. Those forms have an "i" in the stem instead of an "e."

Exercise: Regular Verbs

"G" Verbs
The verb hacer means to do or to make. Hacer is irregular in the first person singular form (I) of the present tense only. The irregular form is hago. Hacer is one of the many verbs in Spanish which add a "g" in the first person singular of the verb. This is the present indicative of the verb hacer.

Note that the verb hacer is translated as to do and to make when referring to activities. But it can also be used to talk about some weather conditions:

But:

When speaking about the weather using hacer, the Ud. form (third singular form) is always used.

El vocabulario (Vocabulary) - Los días (Days)
Audio: [[media:The_days_of_the_week.ogg|OGG]] (157KB)

 * The Spanish week begins on Monday (el lunes), unlike the English week (which begins on Sunday/el domingo).

Una fiesta

Una fiesta entre amigos. Nosotros bailamos y lo pasamos bien en el jardín de esta casa. ''A party among friends. We dance and enjoy ourselves in the patio (garden) of this house.''

Stanley Price Weir

 * Nominator(s): Peacemaker67 (crack... thump)

A long-serving militia officer, Weir was the first South Australian to be commissioned in the AIF, and led the 10th Battalion onto the beach at Gallipoli, as well as commanding it in its first battles in France in 1916. Being a 50 year old commanding officer, he requested relief and returned to Australia, serving as SA's first Public Service Commissioner. He retired as a honorary brigadier general.

Support: G'day, I made a couple of tweaks - please check you are happy with those changes. In addition, I have a couple of minor suggestions regarding the image licencing, but otherwise it looks like it meets the A-class criteria to me. AustralianRupert (talk) 10:54, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
 * "File:Stanley Price Weir.jpg": probably should have both a "PD-Australia" and "PD-US-1996" licence
 * "File:Stanley Price Weir receiving his DSO.jpg": same as the above
 * "File:Grave of Stanley Price Weir.jpg": probably also needs a "FoP-Australia" licence in addition to what is there already
 * Thanks for the review, Rupert, licenses fixed. Regards, Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 13:52, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Support Comments  Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 00:36, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Have to admit I didn't feel the writing was up to usual standards so gave it quite a going over (apologies for the mix-up with service dates in the infobox!) and hope I haven't misinterpreted anything.
 * Not overly detailed by any means but probably sufficient given his career.
 * Structurally I'm used to A-Class bios with at least two paras in the lead -- what's your feeling? I guess I'm also used to seeing details of decorations and promotions as they happened worked into the main body rather than in lists at the end, although I wouldn't oppose promotion on those grounds -- at least there are no ribbon or rank icons... ;-)  While we're at it, why are the good conduct and volunteer medals linked both inline and under Awards, but the DSO, MiD and Order of St Anne only inline?
 * I checked image licensing before I realised Rupert had already done so, so clean bill there!
 * Sources look reliable and correctly formatted. Related to the decorations comment earlier, I'd tend to expect London Gazette references where available, but I guess the AWM covers similar ground.
 * Thanks for the c/e and review, Ian. I've split the lead into war and post-war, added the main decorations into the lead, and removed the links from the awards section. I much prefer to have a separate awards and promotions section, even though it may repeat content, as it allows the reader to see them (and rank progression) in one spot in the article. Given Weir actually has his own page on the AWM site, and the decorations aren't likely to be challenged, it seems an ok source to me for them and their dates.

Tokyo Dome Live in Concert

Tokyo Dome Live in Concert is a live album by American rock band Van Halen, released on March 31, 2015. It is their first live album with original lead vocalist David Lee Roth and second live album overall after 1993's Live: Right Here, Right Now. It is the final Van Halen album released during Eddie Van Halen's lifetime (he died on October 6, 2020) and is also their last release as a band.

History
The official press release announcing the album arrived on February 5, 2015. This was only after the information leaked a couple days earlier and after months of speculation.

The album is Van Halen's first live album with their original lead singer David Lee Roth and third bassist Wolfgang Van Halen. The album features songs from every Roth-fronted Van Halen album, including their 2012 release, A Different Kind of Truth. However, the album has been criticized for Roth's vocal performance.

According to Eddie Van Halen, the band originally wanted to remix 25 original song demos that Van Halen had done before they were signed to a major label, however, the original tapes could not be found. They then considered releasing recordings of their early club performances, but the sound quality was deemed too poor. As a result, it was decided to choose a concert recording from their A Different Kind of Truth Tour. According to Eddie, they had a Pro Tools workstation attached to their mixing board each night of that tour. The rest of the band left it up to Roth to pick what live performance would be released, and he chose the Tokyo Dome show.

The cover artwork is an update of an existing 1935 painting of the SS Normandie by Cassandre.

Personnel

 * David Lee Roth – lead vocals, acoustic guitar on "Ice Cream Man"
 * Eddie Van Halen – guitar, backing vocals
 * Wolfgang Van Halen – bass, backing vocals
 * Alex Van Halen – drums

The Sunda–Sulawesi languages (also known as Inner Hesperonesian or Inner Western Malayo-Polynesian languages) are a putative branch of the Austronesian family posited in Wouk and Ross (2002). They include most of the languages of Sulawesi and the Greater Sunda Islands, as well as a few outliers such as Chamorro and Palauan.

In this proposal the previously posited clade of Western Malayo-Polynesian languages (WMP), Hesperonesian, has been broken up into "inner" (Sunda–Sulawesi) and "outer" (Borneo–Philippines) clades, and Western Malayo-Polynesian is considered merely a geographic term.

The greatest diversity of languages is on the island of Sulawesi, the likely homeland of the Nuclear Malayo-Polynesian languages. However, the group has not been taken up by other historical linguists, and it may be that Sunda–Sulawesi is itself not a genealogical clade, but paraphyletic, simply being the Nuclear MP languages outside Central–Eastern Malayo-Polynesian (assuming the latter is a valid group, which is not clear).

Not all the languages of Sulawesi belong to the Sunda–Sulawesi (Inner Hesperonesian) clade. The twenty languages of the northern peninsula of Sulawesi and neighboring islands to the north are instead part of the Borneo–Philippines branch (Outer Hesperonesian).

Classification
There are a number of small clusters of languages whose interrelationship remains uncertain. Grouped by geography, they are:

Central and southern Sulawesi Greater Sunda Islands Western Pacific islands
 * Celebic languages: a proposed group.
 * South Sulawesi languages: includes the Buginese language; and perhaps the Tamanic languages.
 * Moken language: off the Burmese coast.
 * Northwest Sumatran languages: of north-central Sumatra and the Mentawai Islands. It is unclear if it includes the Enggano language.
 * Malayo-Sumbawan languages: of Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Vietnam (Champa), and Hainan (Tsat spoken by Utsul people). Includes the Malay language, the Sundanese language, and the Balinese language.
 * Lampungic languages: of southeastern Sumatra. It might include the Sundanese language.
 * Javanese language: of central and eastern Java.
 * Palauan language: of Palau.
 * Chamorro language: of the Mariana Islands, including Guam.
