Northern Arizona University/Environmental Ethics/Handouts/Term Paper

Philosophy of Law

Paper Topic
Due Date: If you would like help from me in the form of written comments, then put together an outline of your paper and bring it to office hours. The term paper is due at the beginning of class at the time of the final exam.

Length: The paper should be from 8 full pages minimum to 10 pages maximum. All papers must be typed and double-spaced (indented quotes, etc. should be single-spaced if you use them). There is no penalty for exceeding the maximum number of pages by a small amount so long as the paper is well written and edited.

Mechanics
The quality of your paper as a piece of writing (spelling, punctuation, style, grammar, and--especially--clarity) will count in the determination of your grade. Essential to expressing your ideas effectively is writing clearly and with precision. All I (and your other readers) have to go on in evaluating your arguments is what you have written down. You may think you have it 'clear in your head', but you need to lead the reader step by step through your argumentation. It might help to have a friend read the paper to let you know where your paper lacks clarity. You're trying to develop reasoned arguments to justify a position. So try this test: cross out all occurrences of 'I think', 'I personally believe', 'I feel', or 'it's my opinion that';  then you'll see if you have backed up your opinions with reasons and evidence. For the reader is not interested so much in the fact that your convictions are yours, but rather the clarity and cogency of the reasons, arguments, and evidence you have in support of your opinions (so that your opinions are well-founded). Where you do need to indicate that a view is yours and not one of the authors covered in the course, start your discussion with an "I will argue", 'I will try to show', or 'My thesis is' and the transition will be plenty clear. Don't waste time and space with Vague Generalities (e.g. 'Justice is often cited by philosophers as being important,' 'the question of rights has perennially plagued thinkers,' 'Grotius did a really good job arguing...'). Rather, dig right into the arguments: 'Holmes holds that...and argues for it by claiming that...'  'An objection to the above premise is...'  'I maintain that...' etc. Cross out anything that might be considered 'FLUFF' in your rough draft. Try to capture the arguments in your own words. Be sure that your paper is yours and not merely a string a quotes from the texts. Here is a rule of thumb for this paper: a quote or two from Mill and a quote or two from Kant are fine (especially if the quotes are brief) if they are needed to demonstrate that these authors actually hold the position that you are attributing to them in your paper; seven or ten quotes is too many--especially if the purpose of the quotes is to avoid the hassle of putting the argument in your own words. If you do use the phrasing of other authors, you must quote and footnote them or it is plagiarism. NOTE: this is not a research paper, your time will probably be better spent going over and over the relevant passages and developing the argument rather than exploring the literature. If you do refer to sources outside of the required readings for the class, you must footnote any ideas taken from such sources.

Assignment
Pick a topic, locate a dispute, state your thesis, argue for the thesis, consider one or two central objections, develop responses, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of your argument.

Language Features
Before you introduce control structures, maybe we should learn how to declare and use variables and do some basic math. Then we can understand more interesting examples for the control structures section. --<IP_ADDRESS> (discuss)

move or rename 'Other Language Libraries'
Before I added Ada Programming/Libraries/SAL, I looked thru the Ada Programming main page, looking for "External Libraries". I didn't see it; later I learned it was "Other Language Libraries".

I think the name "Other Language Libraries" is confusing; I took it to mean "libraries defined in the Ada standard that are not been discussed above".

I suggest moving that section to External Resources or External Links (another source of confusion!). Or at least renaming it to External Libraries. Stephen leake (discuss • contribs) 07:42, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

 * I agree entirely about the rename and so I have already edited the text in that way; but I'm not sure about the move, because it would unmatch the subpage structure since all these libraries (predefined and external) hang from Ada Programming/Libraries. Let's wait for a third opinion. -- ManuelGR (discuss • contribs) 21:23, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

 * I Strongly agree. I suggest just dropping the word "Language", so that have we "Predefined Libraries" and "Other Libraries" in Ada_Programming/Libraries. What's a "language library", anyway? Dropping one noun also rids us of two of them in a row, and removes ambiguity of the adjectives' references. gb (discuss • contribs) 11:50, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

Readability: Law of Least Astonishment
Personally I think the reference to the Law of Least Astonishment is irrelevant, and that that so called "law" is stupid nonsense, so the reference is not necessary. The section explains that the Ada is designed so that the code should be self-explained, while the ridiculous "law" refers to a polity of "best to follow common assumptions of how things gonna work", which, if followed here, means that Ada would be a gullwing language of typeless anarchy and no clue. Luckily this isn't the case, so Ada is not a language of "least astonishment". Rursus (discuss • contribs) 08:25, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Regarding number of pages of the book
Hi @Bentbracke,

> Reversed pagecount back to 200, since I clearly have no idea what a page really means in this context.

I guess that number came from what wikistats was counting at that time, but that site doesn't seem to be available any longer. I don't know which criteria it chose for the count, but it was probably a simple count of Wikibooks articles sharing a common prefix (Wikibooks didn't even have the concept of subpage we are using now, so several separators were used like ':' or ' - '). In any case, I think we could say the book has more than 600 pages, since this is what the Category:Book:Ada_Programming is saying. ManuelGR (discuss • contribs) 18:56, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Yeah, that page really confused me (Category:Book:Ada_Programming):
 * "Pages in category "Book:Ada Programming"
 * The following 200 pages are in this category, out of 633 total."
 * What does it mean if a page is part of the book but not part of the category "Book:Ada Programming"? Bentbracke (discuss • contribs) 15:32, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Have you found any page on that situation? I think that could only happen if we forget to include the page in the category making use of the Template:BOOKCATEGORY. ManuelGR (discuss • contribs) 21:31, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Does the following then indicate that there 433 pages where that is the case?
 * The following 200 pages are in this category, out of 633 total. Bentbracke (discuss • contribs) 15:33, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh, no, that is just pagination. It means that you see in the list the first 200 pages of a total of 633 pages in the category. If you press '(next page)' you get the next 200 pages. There are 3 lists of 200 pages and then a final list of the remaining 33 pages. ManuelGR (discuss • contribs) 21:48, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Ahhh, that makes much more sense :-)
 * Is there a way to get a list of those pages without the bookcategory? Bentbracke (discuss • contribs) 15:13, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, also there is this special page: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex?prefix=Ada+Programming%2F&namespace=0&hideredirects=1 and the API (only first 500) https://en.wikibooks.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=allpages&gaplimit=500&gapfrom=Ada_Programming ManuelGR (discuss • contribs) 16:40, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Is that simply a list of all pages?
 * How do I identify which of these are missing the bookcategory? Bentbracke (discuss • contribs) 07:32, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

1931 Iowa State Cyclones football team

The 1931 Iowa State Cyclones football team represented Iowa State College of Agricultural and Mechanic Arts (later renamed Iowa State University) in the Big Six Conference during the 1931 college football season. In their first season under head coach George F. Veenker, the Cyclones compiled a 5–3 record (3–1 against conference opponents), finished in second place in the conference, and were outscored by opponents by a combined total of 74 to 72. They played their home games at State Field in Ames, Iowa.

Robert Bowmen was the team captain. Roger Bowen and Dick Grefe were selected as first-team all-conference players.

Quinton Hooker

Quinton Hooker (born January 22, 1995) is an American professional basketball player who last played for SIG Strasbourg of the French LNB Pro A. At a height of 1.83 m (6 ft. 0 in.) tall, he plays at the point guard position.

He attended Park Center High School in his hometown of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, earning Minnesota Mr. Basketball honors during his senior year after taking his team to the state title game. Nevertheless, he was lightly recruited out of high school and played college basketball at North Dakota from 2013 to 2017, where he was a two-time all-conference selection in the Big Sky during his decorated career. In his senior season he led the Fighting Hawks to a conference title and their first-ever NCAA Division I tournament appearance.

Undrafted out of college, Hooker embarked on an overseas career in Europe, signing his first professional contract with Polish club GTK Gliwice in the summer of 2017. He earned the starting point guard spot in his lone season with the club and noticeably recorded just the tenth triple-double in league history. After a season at French club Vichy-Clermont Métropole, he joined the reigning Hungarian champions Falco Szombathely in 2019, where he played continental basketball in the Basketball Champions League. The team sat atop the domestic league standings when the season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic and no champion was crowned. He joined German club Mitteldeutscher in 2020.

Early life
Hooker was born on January 22, 1995, to Raynard, who is African-American and Janice, who is white. His father, who played college football at Wayne State College, worked in insurance while his mother worked night jobs. Hooker participated in basketball, soccer, baseball and football in his youth, deciding to focus solely on basketball by the time he was in ninth grade.

High school career
Hooker attended and played at Park Center Senior High School in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, scoring over 2,000 points in his career. He was a starter by the time he was a sophomore. In his junior year, he averaged 26 points, seven rebounds and seven assists per game and was named second-team all-state and all-metro. As a senior, he averaged 23 points per contest and led the Pirates to the Class 4A state title game. In addition to earning first-team all-state honors, he was named Minnesota Mr. Basketball as the best player in the state.

On the AAU circuit he played with the Howard Pulley Panthers, although most of the attention focused on his teammate, five-star guard and eventual Duke commit Tyus Jones. Combined with his relatively short stature at 6'0", Hooker was not considered a major recruit. 247Sports rated him a two-star recruit and he was not ranked by ESPN or Rivals. North Dakota assistant coach Gameli Ahelegbe, who had served as a childhood mentor of his, secured his verbal commitment to the school early on. Although he received several mid-major offers and even made visits to schools like Florida Gulf Coast,  he signed his letter of intent (LOI) to play with North Dakota on November 21, 2012.

College career
Hooker played with the University of North Dakota (UND) from 2013–2017, finishing sixth all-time in scoring (just ahead of Phil Jackson), fourth in assists and third in steals. After going 8–22 his sophomore year, he captained the Fighting Hawks his senior year to their first Big Sky conference title (regular-season and tournament) and their maiden appearance in the NCAA Division I tournament.

Freshman and sophomore seasons
Although he was expected to redshirt his freshman year, the coaching staff felt he was college-ready and informed him he was playing on the day before the first game. He made his UND debut on November 13, 2013, scoring a season-high 17 points against Minnesota Morris, and became a starter late in the season. Hooker played all 34 games that season with modest averages of 4.2 points, 1.9 assists and 1.9 rebounds per game. North Dakota reached the Big Sky conference title game, where they lost to Weber State.

With four guards graduating the year prior, Hooker's minutes doubled in his sophomore season and he was the only player to start and appear in all 30 games, leading the team in scoring (12.8 ppg), assists (4.2 apg), and steals (1.5 spg). He registered his first career double-double with 14 points and 10 assists in an overtime loss to Northern Colorado on January 17, 2015. Two weeks later, he recorded 15 points, 10 assists, nine rebounds in an 80–69 home win over Idaho State, finishing one rebound short of a triple-double. He finished out the season with five straight 20-point games, including a game-high and then-career-high 28 points in their season finale 72–71 win against Northern Colorado. Nevertheless, the Fighting Hawks finished third-last in the conference with a 4–14 record (8–22 overall), failing to qualify for the conference tournament.

Junior season
In his junior season, Hooker stepped into a leadership role on a team with no seniors. He ranked third in the Big Sky in scoring with 20.1 points per game, which was also the best scoring mark in school history since UND moved up to Division I. He equaled his career-high with 28 points, including 26 in the second half, in their first conference game against Idaho before matching that mark again three weeks later in a 88–72 win at Southern Utah the day after his 21st birthday. On February 4, 2016, he recorded the first triple-double in UND Division I history, tallying 13 points, 10 assists and a career-high 12 rebounds in a 76–60 win over Idaho State. He followed that with an 18-point showing, including four free throws in the closing minutes, that secured a 78–71 victory over league-leaders Weber State, and was named Big Sky Player of the Week for his performances. On February 25, he set a career-high with 38 points in their 80–77 victory against Portland State, shooting 15-for-20 from the field and setting a new UND Division I single-game scoring record. He also surpassed 1,000 career points during the game, becoming just the tenth junior in UND history to reach the mark. Two days later, he scored 34 points in a 97–71 win over Sacramento State on senior night, shooting 11-for-12 and a perfect 5–5 from three-point range. For his back-to-back scoring outbursts he was named Lou Henson National Player of the Week and, for the second time that month, Big Sky Player of the Week.

North Dakota entered the 2016 Big Sky Conference tournament as the no. 5 seed after failing to qualify the year before. They defeated Southern Utah 85–80 in the first round, with Hooker contributing 30 points and eight rebounds. He added 13 points and seven rebounds as UND routed Idaho State 83–49 in the quarterfinals. In their semi-final match-up versus Weber State, Hooker tied his career-high with 38 points on 19 shots, but UND fell in overtime 78–83 to the no. 1 seed and eventual champion Wildcats. He was named to the all-tournament team after leading the first-ever neutral-site Big Sky Championship in scoring with 27.0 points per game. UND finished the season with an 86–89 loss to UC Irvine in the opening round of the 2016 CIT. At the conclusion of the season, Hooker was named first-team All-Big Sky and a Lou Henson Mid-Major All-American.

Senior season
Ahead of his senior season, Hooker was voted preseason Big Sky MVP by the media. He was named to the Men Against Breast Cancer Classic all-tournament team after averaging 19.3 points and 4.7 rebounds in three games over Thanksgiving weekend. On December 31, 2016, he posted 31 points, five rebounds and three assists in a 90–82 overtime victory over Sacramento State, putting an end to a four-game losing streak. On January 5, 2017, he scored a game-high 20 points in their Big Sky home opener against Northern Arizona, which they won 68–63. On January 26, Hooker filled up the stat sheet with 23 points, seven assists, six rebounds, and two steals, and hit the game-winner with one second left to beat Southern Utah 91–89. He scored a season-high 35 points on February 9 in a 95–86 win over Eastern Washington that broke the second-place tie they had with the Eagles in the conference standings. The team won seven of their last eight regular-season games to finish with a 14–4 Big Sky record and the regular-season conference title.

In the quarterfinals of the 2017 Big Sky Conference tournament, they defeated Portland State 95–72 with Hooker contributing 17 points and seven assists. He recorded 13 points and five assists in their semi-final victory over Idaho. In the finals they faced Weber State, the team that had eliminated UND two out of the last three years. Hooker scored a game-high 28 points, adding five assists and three steals, to lead them to a 93–89 win in the championship game and the school's first-ever berth in the NCAA Division I tournament. As a #15 seed, they faced the #2 seed Arizona in the first round of the west regional. Hooker led his squad in scoring in his final collegiate game with 25 points but they were overwhelmed by the Wildcats and lost 82–100. UND finished the season with a Division I-program record 22 wins, while Hooker finished with averages of 19.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, earning both first-team All-Big Sky and Lou Henson Mid-Major All-American honors for the second year in a row.

2017–20
After unsuccessful tryouts with the Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves, Hooker signed his first professional deal with newly-promoted GTK Gliwice of the Polish Basketball League (PKL) in August 2017. He credited a 2015 UND trip to Europe as having "opened his eyes to the basketball world outside of the United States." He made his pro debut on September 30, coming off the bench during a defeat to Miasto Szkła Krosno, and by December he was the starting point guard. In an overtime loss to Legia Warszawa on February 11, 2018, he recorded 20 points, 16 assists and 13 rebounds – just the tenth triple-double in PKL history. His 16 assists were also a leaguewide season-high. On March 28 he scored a season-high 40 points, adding 10 assists and five rebounds in another loss to Stal Ostrów Wielkopolski. In 31 games with Gliwice that season, Hooker averaged 15.0 points, 5.0 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game.

Hooker joined the French second-tier club Vichy-Clermont Métropole on a one-year deal in July 2018. He started all 34 regular-season games during the 2018–19 season, averaging 12.1 points, 3.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game. Vichy-Clermont finished in third place in the league but were upset in the first round of the playoffs by Gries Oberhoffen.

In July 2019 Hooker signed with Falco Szombathely, the reigning Hungarian champions. He made his debut with the team on September 17 as the starting point guard in their Basketball Champions League (BCL) qualifying round victory against Romanian champs CSM Oradea. He registered a season-high 20 points and four assists in a 95–82 league win over Alba Fehérvár on November 2. He also recorded a season-high seven assists to go with nine points in an 89–80 BCL group stage win over PAOK at the P.A.O.K. Sports Arena on December 17. Falco was eliminated from BCL play following the group stage, but sat at the top of the Hungarian League standings when the season was prematurely cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March. No national champion was crowned and no teams were relegated. In 21 league games Hooker averaged 9.2 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game, and Eurobasket.com named him an All-Hungarian League honorable mention for the season. Additionally, he played in 18 BCL games, posting averages of 8.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.4 steals per game.

2020–present
He signed a one-year deal with Mitteldeutscher of the German Basketball Bundesliga in July 2020. Hooker averaged 14.0 points, 5.2 assists, and 1.3 steals per game. On June 30, 2021, he signed with Riesen Ludwigsburg of the Basketball Bundesliga.

Hooker signed with Bnei Herzliya Basket of the Israeli Basketball Premier League on September 6, 2021. In 2021–22 for the team, he averaged 10.8 points, 4.8 assists, and 1.3 steals per game in 22 games.

On July 4, 2023, he signed with SIG Strasbourg of the French LNB Pro A.

Personal life
Hooker has two older sisters, Chelsia and Brehana, who were also athletes at Park Center High School and now work as a registered nurse and at Delta Air Lines, respectively. He also has a younger brother, Amani, who plays as a safety for the Tennessee Titans after a three-year college career at Iowa.

He got engaged to his high school sweetheart shortly before signing his first professional deal.

Synthetic currency pair

In foreign exchange market, synthetic currency pair or synthetic cross currency pair is an artificial currency pair which generally is not available in market but one needs to trade across those pairs. One highly traded currency, usually United States dollar, which trades with the target currencies, is taken as intermediary currency and offsetting positions are taken on target currencies. The use of synthetic cross currency pairs has become less common with wide availability of most common currency pairs in the market.

Overview
There are many official currencies worldwide but not all currencies are traded actively in the forex market. Currencies backed by economically and politically stable nations or unions such as USD and EUR are traded actively. Also, the more liquid the currency, the more demand there is for that currency. For example, United States dollar is world's most actively traded currency due to the size and strength of the United States economy and global acceptance of USD.

The eight most traded currencies (in no specific order) are: the U.S. dollar (USD), the Canadian dollar (CAD), the euro (EUR), the British pound (GBP), the Swiss franc (CHF), the New Zealand dollar (NZD), the Australian dollar (AUD) and the Japanese yen (JPY).

Currencies are traded in pairs. The above-mentioned eight currencies can generate 28 different currency pairs that can be traded. However, not all of them are quoted by forex market makers. Depending on the liquidity of currencies, there are 18 currency pairs which are quoted by forex market makers. These pairs are:

As soon as trading has to take place for a non trading(non quoted) currency pairs or for pairs which do not have enough liquidity, an alternate route is taken to create the currency pair. The pair thus created is known as synthetic pair. A synthetic currency pair is created by trading two separate currency pairs in such a way as to effectively trade a third currency pair. Usually, USD is taken as intermediary currency to create any desirable synthetic cross currency pair.

For example, the AUD/CAD pair can be traded by creating a synthetic currency pair from two separate currencies. In this scenario, USD can be taken as intermediary currency. To trade AUD/CAD pair, the trader would simultaneously buy the AUD/USD(buying AUD and selling USD) pair and buy the USD/CAD(buying USD and selling CAD) pair.

Advantages

 * A synthetic currency pair allows one to reduce the spread costs of trading.
 * Crosses create more opportunities for traders by giving them more currencies to trade.
 * Typically, trends and ranges are cleaner on currency crosses than they are on the major currency pairs.
 * Trading crosses allows you to take advantage of differences in interest rates.

Overheads
Trading a synthetic pair requires opening two separate positions. This increases the cost of the trade and the exposure to the account. Any interest rate differentials between the three countries involved could also have a negative impact on the profitability of the trade if it is carried overnight.

Synthetic pairs are generally used by financial institutions that wish to put on large positions, but there is not enough liquidity in the market in order to do so. It is generally not a practical solution in the retail forex market.

One of the problems with creating synthetic currency pairs is that they tie up double the amount of margin as would be required if the exact pair was offered through the broker. This also means that the trader must pay the spread on both of the pairs used to create the synthetic pair. But this may not be of much relevance because if the pair was offered directly through the broker interface, it would most likely have a similar spread cost.

2018–19 Liga II (women's football)

The 2018–19 Liga II was the 6th season, since its reintroduction in 2013, of the second level women's football league of the Romanian football league system. 16 teams divided in 2 series played in the competition that consisted of a double round-robin lasting 14 stages, totaling 112 matches. In addition, a two-legged play-off was played to determine one more promoted team at the end of the season, since CFR Timișoara withdrew from Liga I and vacated a place.

To Liga II
Promoted from Liga III
 * Vulpițele Galbene Roman (winners of 2017–18 Liga III, Seria I)
 * Banat Girls Reșița (winners of 2017–18 Liga III, Seria II)
 * Venus Maramureș (4th place in 2017–18 Liga III, Seria II)

Relegated from Liga I
 * Luceafărul Filiași (took over the place of Liga I relegated team Real Craiova, 10th place in the 2017–18 Liga I)

From Liga II
Promoted to Liga I
 * FC Universitatea Galați (winners of 2017–18 Liga II, Seria I)
 * Independența Baia Mare (winners of 2017–18 Liga II, Seria II)

Relegated to Liga III
 * Luceafărul 2 Filiași (took over the place of Real 2 Craiova, 6th place in the 2017–18 Liga II, Seria II, but transferred to Liga III as two teams from the same club cannot play in the same league)

Disbanded
 * Armonia Dolhești (7th place in 2017–18 Liga I, Seria I)

Excluded and spared teams
Armonia Dolhești was disbanded in the summer of 2018, so Viitorul Reghin (8th place in 2017–18 Liga II, Seria I) was spared from relegation.

Luceafărul Filiași took over Real Craiova's spot after its relegation from 2017–18 Liga I, although some viewed it as just a name change. The move was possible by disaffiliating the old Real Craiova club and transferring the senior team components to Luceafărul Filiași Sport School, along with their club president, local politician Fănel Văduva. As such, the first squad was able to continue in Liga II, as they relegated at the end of the 2017–18 Liga I, thus they were not required to start in Liga III as it happens with new teams. Consequently, the spot of Real 2 Craiova, which was taken over by Luceafărul 2 Filiași was transferred to Liga III, as two teams from the same club cannot play in the same league.

Promotion play-off
The second best placed team in Seria I faces the second best placed team in Seria II (excluding second teams of Liga I clubs) to decide the last promoted club to 2019-20 Liga I, after CFR Timișoara withdrew during the 2018–19 Liga I season, and vacated a spot.

Talk:Geometry/Angles

I've been looking over the Geometry "pages" and I saw this Angles "page." The diagrams are good, but the article needs more work as of May 2, 2004. The written discussion could be much improved.

Angles AREN'T really the intersection of 2 rays
So after my second year of teaching HS Geometry, I've come to believe that teaching angles are the intersection of 2 rays is misleading and incorrect. The "angle", as traditionally drawn, is a shorthand, or a representation for a unit of rotational measurement. But it is the ROTATION that is primary, not the Angle Diagram, as we usually see.

Let's go back to the foundations of measurement. In the measurement world, there are two parallel universes: Rotational measurement and Linear Measurement. Linear measurement is measurement of displacement from a starting location. You start here, you move for a bit, and now you are 10 meters away. In Physics, velocity, acceleration, momentum, and position are all measurements that live in the "Linear" world.

In the Rotational World, there is a completely parallel universe. We have Rotational Velocity, Rotational Acceleration, Rotational Momentum, and it is all based on an underlying measurement: Rotational Position.

'''Angles are a measurement of Rotational Position. They answer the question: How far did something turn? '''

In my experience, teaching young students that angles are the intersection of two lines does not teach the true nature of an angle. I have had much more success teaching the concept of rotational measurement. Once that concept is understood, we can back down to the traditional representation, shown by two rays that share an endpoint. But until students understand the concept of rotation, the diagram involving rays simply confuses them.

User:DerbethBot

A bot by Derbeth used for adding IPA and pronunciation files to entries. Also working on Commons, where it uploads new pronunciation files.

Source code: GitHub

Frequently Asked Questions

 * 1) Your bot just added an audio file that is unacceptable because the recording cannot be heard, the speaker cannot speak correctly or the file has wrong name. Can you please fix your bot?
 * The correction should ideally be made on Commons: Commons should not contain useless or misleading files.
 * If an audio file is broken, please nominate it for deletion on Commons. If you mention me on the deletion request page ( Derbeth ), I will get a notification about it and may vote for it.
 * In case of languages with non-Latin script, my bot tries to read the pronounced word from the file description on Commons (an example). If the description is misleading, you can simply edit and fix it now.
 * 1) I reverted your bot's wrong edit, so why should I care about it?
 * I regularly re-run my bot (sometimes every week), so it will repeat the same edit over and over again. It's better to resolve the root cause of the problem - see other points.
 * 1) Can you add the problematic file to a blacklist, so that your bot won't add it to an entry here? The file is wrong and I need to revert your bot's edit.
 * I prefer not to. If I create such a blacklist, the wrong files will remain on Commons, a poor state of affairs. The best course of action is to delete or rename the files on Commons. Audio files are used not only on English Wiktionary, but also on other Wiktionaries. There are other bots that add audio files - I am not able to fix them, and I am not even aware how many of such bots exist.
 * 1) The bot does not add audio files to a page, although it's clear that they match. Why?
 * Perhaps the page contains definition consisting of more than 1 definition, more than 1 speech part. In such case it impossible to automatically judge whether the audio files matches first, second or all parts. The audio file needs to be added by a human. To help with finding and fixing such cases, generated reports contain list of files that could not be added automatically. Help is appreciated: the bot owner does not have time to edit such a big number of pages.
 * In other cases, please contact the bot operation - it might be a bug in the bot.
 * 1) Where can I find successful deletion requests on Commons?
 * Examples:
 * c:Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Kutia.OGG (2007)
 * c:Commons:Deletion requests/Image:En-us-Taoiseach.ogg (2007)

Whatever happened to...
If possible, I would like to see the section on the aborted follow-up album expanded. To my mind, it's surprising that, given the success of the first album, no follow-up album was released. "One-hit wonders" are hardly a new phenomenon, but usually there is at least an attempt to repeat the success. While Wikipedia is about facts, not narrative per se, it seems like there must be more of a story there. -- GentlemanGhost  (converse)  19:46, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

Cookbook:Curry Powder

Curry powder is a general blend of spices used to imitate the flavor of South Asian cuisine. It should not be confused with specific spice blends used in various Indian curries, such as garam masala, chaat masala, panch phoron, tikka masala, etc.

Characteristics
There is no set blend, and every commercial curry powder blend will be slightly different. Spices typically found in curry powders include turmeric, coriander, cumin, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, fenugreek, pepper, and/or chile powder. The heat level varies, and the blend may range from mild to hot.

Selection and storage
Like all ground spices, curry powder must be stored in an airtight container at room temperature away from light, heat, and moisture. Still, the flavor and aroma will fade over time, and you should make sure to check it periodically. Making curry powder fresh is always the best option in terms of flavor.

Use
Curry powder is not actually used to make traditional Indian dishes, which typically rely on more specific spice blends, and many Indian cooks never use it. Instead, curry powder is used for anglicized Indian dishes like Mulligatawny soup or "curried" Western dishes like curried chicken/egg salad. It is also used in Caribbean and various African cuisines influenced by Indian foodways.

Questions Addressed by Metaproteomics
Metaproteomics allows for scientists to better understand organisms' gene functions, as genes in DNA are transcribed to mRNA which is then translated to protein. Gene expression changes can therefore be monitored through this method. Furthermore, proteins represent cellular activity and structure, so using metaproteomics in research can lead to functional information at the molecular level. Metaproteomics may also be more reliable in community analysis as opposed to 16S rRNA gene or metagenome sequencing.

Metaproteomics and the Human Intestinal Microbiome
Aside from the oral and vaginal microbiomes, several intestinal microbiome studies have used metaproteomic approaches. A 2020 study done by Long et. al. has shown, using metaproteomic approaches, that colorectal cancer pathogenesis may be due to changes in the intestinal microbiome. Several proteins examined in this study were associated with iron intake and transport as well as oxidative stress, as high intestinal iron content and oxidative stress are indicative of colorectal cancer.

Another study done in 2017 by Xiong et. al. used metaproteomics along with metagenomics in analyzing gut microbiome changes during human development. Xiong et. al. found that the infant gut microbiome may be initially populated with facultative anaerobes like Enterococcus and Klebsiella, and then later populated by obligate anaerobes like Clostridium, Bifidobacterium, and Bacteroides. While the human gut microbiome shifted over time, microbial metabolic functions remained consistent, including carbohydrate, amino acid and nucleotide metabolism.

A similar study done in 2017 by Maier et. al. combined metaproteomics with metagenomics and metabolomics to show the effects of resistant starch on the human intestinal microbiome. After subjects consumed diets high in resistant starch, it was discovered that several microbial proteins were altered such as butyrate kinase, enoyl coenzyme A (enoyl-CoA) hydratase, phosphotransacetylase, adenylosuccinate synthase, adenine phosphoribosyltransferases, and guanine phosphoribosyltransferases. The human subjects experienced increases in colipase, pancreatic triglyceride lipase, bile salt-stimulated lipase abundance while also experiencing a decrease in α-amylase.

Overall, metaproteomics has gained immense popularity in human intestinal microbiome studies as it has led to important discoveries in the health field.

Metaproteomics in Environmental Microbiome Studies
Metaproteomics has been especially useful in the identification of microbes involved in various biodegradation processes. A 2017 study done by Jia et. al. has shown the application of metaproteomics in examining protein expression profiles of biofuel-producing microorganisms. According to this study, bacterial and archaeal proteins are involved in producing hydrogen and methane-derived biofuels. Bacterial proteins involved are ferredoxin-NADP reductase, acetate kinase, and NADH-quinone oxidoreductase found in the Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes taxa. These particular proteins are involved in carbohydrate, lipid, and amino acid metabolism. The archaeal proteins involved are acetyl-CoA decarboxylase and methyl-coenzyme M reductase found in Methanosarcina. These proteins participate in biochemical pathways involving acetic acid utilization, CO2 reduction, and methyl nutrient usage.

A 2019 study by Li et. al. has demonstrated the use of metaproteomics in observing protein expression of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) degradation genes. The authors of this study specifically focused on identifying the degradable microbial communities in activated sludge during wastewater treatment, as PAHs are highly prevalent wastewater pollutants. They showed that Burkholderiales bacteria are heavily involved in PAH degradation, and that the bacterial proteins are involved in DNA replication, fatty acid and glucose metabolism, stress response, protein synthesis, and aromatic hydrocarbon metabolism.

A similar study done in 2020 by Zhang et. al. involved metaproteomic profiling of azo dye-degrading microorganisms. As azo dyes are hazardous industrial pollutants, metaproteomics was used to observe the overall biodegradation mechanism. Pseudomonas Burkholderia, Enterobacter, Lactococcus and Clostridium strains were identified using metagenomic shotgun sequencing, and many bacterial proteins were found to show degradative activity. These proteins identified using metaproteomics include those involved in the TCA cycle, glycolysis, and aldehyde dehydrogenation. Identification of these proteins therefore led the scientists into proposing potential azo dye degradation pathways in Pseudomonas and Burkholderia.

All in all, metaproteomics is applicable not only to human health studies, but also to environmental studies involving potentially harmful contaminants.

User:JWSchmidt/Blog/10 March 2007

Verified credentials  Jimmy Wales again raised the issue of credentials verification for Wikipedians who wish to claim that they have credentials. The first thing to say about such a system is that it would be voluntary. Nobody is talking about making this a BIG DEAL for the Wikimedia Foundation. In fact, it is clear that the Wikimedia Foundation is not going to get involved with any credential verification process for typical Wikipedians (see). The Foundation does have a process for verification of the real world identity of those few members of the community who are given access to information covered by the Foundation's privacy policy. However, any credential verification process for typical Wikipedians will have to be run by the community.

The second thing to be said is that there are really two limited reasons for such a credential verification process. The first reason is to try to prevent future problems in which a Wikipedian falsely claims to have a set of credentials. It has been suggested that Wikipedia have a template saying "this claim of credentials has not been verified" that could be placed on any user page where a Wikipedian claims to have a set of credentials. The second reason to verify credentials is the original reason given by Jimmy two years ago; as a way to let the world know that there are experts who edit Wikipedia.

But how can a community of volunteer wiki editors verify the identities of their fellow wiki editors? I am most concerned with verification of the identities of wiki editors who have a professional website, particularly in the .edu domain. I wonder if it would be possible to make modifications to the "Email this user" system in order to create a semi-automated system for verifying that wiki users are the owners of .edu email address. I'm not sure how hard it is to fake access to a .edu email address (see), but in any case I'm not sure that verification of a .edu email address is itself very useful. What is really needed is a webpage at a .edu website that lists the credentials of a person. If that person wants to be identified as editing Wikipedia as user FooBar, they that fact could be included on their professional credentials webpage. Again, I'm not sure if it is possible to fake the control of a URL in the .edu domain.

Relevance to Wikiversity  If Wikiversity does develop a system that allows for some editing outside of NPOV, then there will be a need for participants who can help guide the community in making sure that good scholarship is used. Sometimes it takes an expert to spot spoofs and bogus research methodologies. Can most people have confidence in Wikiversity without some formal evidence that there are experts helping with the project?

Non-notable podcast; vanity article. Prod removed by author. -- Merope 13:57, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Come on- deleting a legitimate comment about your policies? A little Hitleresque, don't you think?

Anyway, my point is that this entry is just as legitimate as many of the other entries on wikipedia. I figured you, as a self appointed protector of the Internet, would agree. I guess not. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs).

 * Delete While I love the podcasts and listen to them when I can, this does not pass the "no original research"policy. It also fails the Verifiable guideline.  Where are the sources?  What claims are their from multiple reliable, independent, third-party sources? Blogs and discussion forms do not count.-- Brian  ( How am I doing? ) 18:24, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Brian- I appreciate the fact that your heart is in the right place, but I think you may be in a bit over your head. You make an exceptional amount of grammatical errors in just about every posting, and as such really shouldn't consider yourself an appropriate editor of others' work. For example, you misued the word 'There' in your above comment. That's ninth grade English stuff, buddy! On your personal wiki-page, you said I am an Deletionist.  Read that sentence aloud to yourself, and then tell me if it makes sense as written. You start your entry off with the following statement: I am have a college degree in Computer Network Administration. That one is almost laughable! Read that aloud as well, and see what you think. I stopped reading after that one. If you want someone to take your thoughts seriously, take a little extra time to carefully write them out beforehand. You'll notice a world of change awaits you!
 * I suggest you brush up on your basic writing skills, take a month or so off from Wikipedia, and then come back fully recharged. You'll thank me for it later. Hang in there, pal; it'll get easier as time goes by! Don't think we don't appreciate your efforts! -DJ Sloofus
 * Comment: the preceding comment was made by the author and subject of the article, and he/she has been warned against personal attacks. -- Merope 19:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment So because I made a mistake on my user page during editing and because you didn't look at my userpage's history where I removed what college I went to and the degree I received (not relevent and un-needed) my opinion in this matter is to be ignored? Farix is right. Personally attacking users is not going to sway an AFD consenus. Instead, provide proof of how my argument in itself is wrong. -- Brian  ( How am I doing? ) 19:44, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete both as nonnotable, and author's lack of cooperation doesn't help either. I'm not a native English speaker, I probably drop off an article here and there and so on, but I know that without a shred of proof of notability, this thing just won't stand in Wikipedia. =) I suggest the author to come up with some, and fast, please. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 10:00, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Pay-to-use sources are fine by WP:V and WP:RS (otherwise, using books etc. as sources would be pretty questionable), but freely available citations are pretty much needed, obviously. Sorry, requiring to pay money for the citation for claim of notability does not bode well, especially if that's the sole claim. All the more reason to say this is a non-notable subject if there's a single source and you have to pay for it to boot... --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 10:21, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, we do. We just leave it on the door when we discuss AfDs. This is supposed to be a serious somber occassion. In theory. Practically, I'd say 90% serious, which is still pretty high. Uncooperative people with vested interest in article stopped being funny years ago. Doesn't stop me from finding this debate amusing though, though probably for reasons different from yours... --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 10:21, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I am truly sorry. I had not realized what a serious, somber occassion this was. I realize that I was out of line, and we should all be mourning rather than celebrating at this juncture. Please, accept my apologies and my hush fund money. -Sloofus —The preceding unsigned comment was added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs).
 * I would like to apologize. As a fan of the CBH, I was hoping that this article would be deemed righteous by those who are holy and wise. Please forgive me- I am a sinner. I am sure that you find this funny for different reasons than me. You are right- AfDs are most serious and somber. I hope someday to take the Internet as serious as you folks. I'm going to go read some douchebag's blog about Wikipedia to purify myself. Thank you for showing me the Way and the Light!- A Concerned CBH Fan (and Wikipedia-ite) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs).
 * Keep: By all means, keep. The only thing I hate more then police brutality or fat free mayonnaise is unnecessary Wikipedia deletion.  It's the book burning of the 21st Century.  Though it lacks the huge pile of smoldering books and empty cans of kerosene found at most book burnings, it still involves the act of withholding information from others.  Only a lot less smoke and your clothes don't stink so much afterwards. If we are to delete the entry for The Comic Book Haters, what's next?  Huckleberry Finn?  Catcher in the Rye?  No thanks!  I find the timing of all this to be more then a little ironic.  I have recently gone back to school to earn my GED and I was thinking of writing a term paper on the history of The Comic Book Haters.  I wanted to concentrate my paper on the early years.  The only problem was where to turn to for my information?  Ask Jeeves?  I will have you know that the friendly English man servant of knowledge no longer exists.RickRottman 22:27, 14 August 2006 (UTC) — Possible single purpose account: RickRottman (talk • contribs)  has made little or no other contributions outside this topic..
 * A few things to keep in mind:
 * We're not nuking facts, we're determining whether or not the subject of the article is notable enough for inclusion in an article of its own. Suppose I wrote a book about wikilawyering. I'm not notable enough for an article of its own. My book wouldn't be, probably. But an article about various aspects of wikicommunities might have a factoid that reads "Newbies often use repeated, outlandish proposals, often failing to convince the established members of the community. For example, User:Wwwwolf wrote a book "Wikilawyer for Hire" (2008, O'Ridley & Patrons), where he states (pp. 42-43) that melodramatic polemic is 'the oldest trick ever in Wikipedia AfD debates' and won't win you any friends." See? Facts can exist even when they don't have articles of their own. Ergo, comparing this to book burning is slightly silly at least.
 * We're not a publisher of original information, it says so in policy. We're not a free webhost either, so says the policy too. If the history of the website in question is available here but not on the site in question (or some other website that has researched the background of the site), then that's kind of backwards. We're supposed to cite someone who can present us pre-chewed pieces of information, and condense that to something that tells the uninformed people with one glance on what this stuff is about.
 * A hint: teachers hate it when you only cite encyclopedias. (If they don't, change school ASAP.) You probably want to cite something else. Like the actual website you're writing about. We're not here to do anyone's school work for them, you know.
 * Hope this helps. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 01:17, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I was with you until you actually used the word "Ergo". RickRottman 08:55, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Whywertfore? I could have threatened to say "'erefore". Be glad I didn't. (Disclaimer for random passers-by: The above ramblestuff probably reads like something posted around 4:17 AM. The reason for that would be that it was.) --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 09:21, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I realize you have better things to do such as constructing a bonfire of copies of A Raisin in the Sun, so I will try to be short. What you are trying to do is to stifle the flow of information.  The very fact that you refer to the act as "nuking" tells me that you equate it to be on par with something overly masculine.  That you will in a sense show how powerful you are by deleting a Wikipedia entry.  I say don't do it.  Instead, try to do something that would truly demonstrate your manliness.  Go lift some weights.  Attempt to kiss a pretty girl.  Bend a piece of metal.  Chop down a big tree.  Do something - anything - instead of deleting a Wikipedia entry. Also, on a personal note. I have made it a point to never trust anyone that uses the word "ergo" in a sentence.  It's up there with never trusting someone that wears plaid pants or someone that listens to jazz. It's a rule that has served me well. RickRottman 19:22, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Rick, none of your arguements are going to sway this AfD. You are making personal attacks and are not being civil at all, while making completly silly statements that have nothing to do with refuting the questions posed against this article. A rule that serves me well is "deal with the serious, then deal with the silly".  You wish the article to stay but in no way provide anything to refute the statements that it fails two out of three pillars of the Wikipedia standard for articles: WP:OR and WP:V.  I believe you know that this article fails them, will be deleted in the next day or so, and are now just having a bit of fun. -- Brian  ( How am I doing? ) 14:03, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I will have you know sir that I don't make personal attacks on the Internets. I use the Internets for knowledge.  I have only come here seeking knowledge.  Things they wouldn't teach me of in college.  RickRottman 16:22, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Do we need the humor link again, Brian? I think we went there already. I think the self-appointed wikipedia "guardians" need to loosen their sphincters. Not too loose. Not enough to turtle-head or anything. Just enough to stop being so damn annoying. Are your day jobs so frustrating that you come here to unload? Try a bar. Or maybe a girl. Whatever. But you aren't actually making sensible arguments yourselves. Have you seen the Keith and the Girl page? Or any of the other podcast articles? So YOU are the judge of whether something is "worthy" enough to put on Wikipedia? That's really a shame. Participatory culture will never become viable as long as there are people like you guys putting up roadblocks. Conrgats on killing the medium.- A Concerned CBH Fan
 * Brian, don't listen to him. You feel free to keep your sphincter as tight as you want it to be.  RickRottman 18:15, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

 * What you should be adding are sources. Please cite sources to show that this podcast has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works from sources that are independent of the authors/creators.-- Brian  ( How am I doing? ) 17:39, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

2 CBH fans on some damn forum or other- come on, this shit counts.

[http://www.podcastcharts.com/the-comic-book-haters.html Somebody put CBH up on some other pod thingy or other. Lots of these. Many by people, not bots]
 * —The preceding unsigned comment was added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs).
 * Okay, now that you've seen Cite sources, let's discuss Reliable sources. Regrettably, "2 CBH fans on some damn forum or other" would be more than a bit weak as a source - demonstrates lack of depth ("2 CBH fans") and source of questionable worth ("some damn forum or other"). Forum posts specifically aren't reliable primary/secondary sources (unless they demonstrably are from people involved in the subject, for example, official developer comments on official forum of some production). "Somebody put CBH up on some other pod thingy or other" also demonstrates one small problem: If it's a source that anyone can set up, it's weak. Everyone can spam, not just bots. Peter Bagge page demonstrates exactly what I was saying above: You don't need to be notable in itself to be considered a source or be worthy of an external link. Bar for being worthy a reference is lower than bar for having an article of your own. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 08:31, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Hyon Song-wol

Question
Um, who blanked the article? This is quite embarrassing, considering it's linked to from the main page right now. LonelyBoy2012 (talk) 17:12, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Erm, nobody? It's not been blanked by anybody. Prioryman (talk) 18:20, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
 * But when I read the article I see nothing but a picture of her with a caption...there's no article text to speak of. And when I click on the "Edit" tab, the source code looks blank. I don't get this problem on any other Wikipedia articles, so even if this page hasn't "officially" been blanked, there must be some technical problem (maybe a flaw in the source code) that causes this to happen. Whatever it is, it's certainly worth fixing. LonelyBoy2012 (talk) 21:07, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

No proof = still a rumor
I added word "Allegedly", since there is no proof. Let's wait a little before we make certain claims.

Execution
Hyon Song -wol's is most likely false. Review this article to see why:

http://www.businessinsider.com/did-kim-jong-un-execute-his-ex-girlfriend-2013-8 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emperor Sean (talk • contribs) 20:22, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

 * I disagree with the conclusion. If she is still alive, it seems likely that she will reappear on DPRK TV at some point.  This will prove the story untrue.  I understand, in fact, that she has scheduled concerts.  If she fails to be seen again, this would give credence to this rumour.--Jack Upland (talk) 07:47, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Supposedly the bands she forms part of are all state mandated and have indeed been disbanded.<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 08:13, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
 * According to the article she has been retired from singing for some years.--Jack Upland (talk) 05:09, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

no need for "expert opinions" if she is alive or dead
kim just has to produce her, or live with the reputation of a murderer. very simple. what is the point of opinions in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 04:23, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

 * If she appears on TV this would disprove the story, but I don't think anyone can demand this of her. Of course, the regime could force her to appear, but I don't see how this would improve its human rights credentials!  The regime has not made a major effort to combat every false news story about it, but I'm not sure that it should.  I don't expect a deluge of apologies if this story proves false.--Jack Upland (talk) 10:09, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Let's see about that.--Jack Upland (talk) 07:07, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Still waiting.--Jack Upland (talk) 12:15, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello? Anybody home???--Jack Upland (talk) 17:16, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Still wishing and hoping...--Jack Upland (talk) 05:18, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Rumour-Mongering
The story of her execution seems to be constructed from a series of rumours: Is there anything else to this story? Is there any substance other than rumour on rumour?--Jack Upland (talk) 10:19, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
 * The confusion of her and Kim Jong Un's wife, leading to the rumour that she was his girlfriend.
 * The claim that a video released by her band was pornographic (even though it was obviously cleared by DPRK censors) and the speculation that she would be punished (i.e., executed).
 * The further speculation that the "real" reason she was executed (which was speculative) is jealousy of Kim Jong Un's wife against his former girlfriend.
 * The elaboration of a bizarre scenario in which this execution might have taken place.

I agree very well. Although I am assuming, it is too coincidental that south korean media is negatively portraying north korea.Emperor Sean (talk) 00:44, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

NPR Article
Are Wikipedians even more gullible than they seem? Am I the only person to notice that the NPR article of 2012, on which half of this article is based, is a spoof from beginning to end? Just read the thing and think for half a minute ...

The English translation of the song title, Excellent Horse-loving Lady, is not bad, but that's the only reliable 'fact' in the entire article. Don't you guys have April Fool's Day newspaper articles in the US?

Djwilms (talk) 08:03, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Well, there's a lot more sources than that, and unfortunately that is the standard of journalism on NK: extravagant speculation, which on the identity of the mystery woman at least, turns out to be false.--Jack Upland (talk) 10:05, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

She's Alive!
Having two reliable sources reporting her appearance on television, I think we can now safely accept she was not executed.

I think I have changed everything that needs to be changed in the article. I don't think need all the discussion of the execution rumour in the article now, but it remains interesting as a testament to how the media works (or fails). As the issue is still fresh, I think it would be wise to leave it there for the time being.--Jack Upland (talk) 07:06, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Date of birth missing
I have removed the year of birth (1983) since it was unsourced. Pekka Korhonen assesses that the year given by the Chinese Wikipedia (1972) is more credible, but since Chinese Wikipedia doesn't cite their sources either, there isn't much we can do here. Finnusertop (talk | guestbook | contribs) 20:54, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
 * So the reports of her birth and her death are both unreliable.--Jack Upland (talk) 07:56, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * On January 21 2018, Hyon Song-wol passed through the customs, immigration and quarantine (CIQ) office at Dorasan Station, just south of the border. At that time, the South Korean authorities may checked her ID information. As you know, everyone needs the appropriate documentation to cross the border. On January 31 2018, a source on the National Assembly's Intelligence Committee quoted the NIS(National Intelligence Service) as saying Hyon was born in Pyongyang in 1977. I believe this date of birth information is based on her ID when she passed through the CIQ office. --Amdrock (talk) 19:28, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
 * You could be right, all we have is that "A source on the intelligence committee quoted the NIS as saying Hyon was born in Pyongyang in 1977". This kind of sourcing is often associated with false rumours.--Jack Upland (talk) 07:01, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

External links modified
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 1 one external link on Hyon Song-wol. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Hyon Song-wol
Hi Wikipedia, I wanted to protect Hyon Song-wol's page to prevent vandalism, false information, and sockpuppeting. I was wondering can I have this page fully locked and protected until more then more details. Temia Jannings (talk) 17:45, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

 * . You need to take your request to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism, but I think you would be wasting your time because the situation here isn't serious enough. Don't let me put you off though.--Jack Upland (talk) 08:25, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Later career
I have returned "Later career" to end of the article. This is designed to keep the article in chronological. Her "later career" covers what she did after the false rumours about her execution. There is no "cohesion" in putting this at the end of the article. I am not saying we can't have different headings etc. Please discuss here before reorganising the article.--Jack Upland (talk) 07:47, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
