Talk:Ron Bass (wrestler)

Ace Ventura
From the picture that is posted at WWE.com under their "Where are they Now" series, he kinda looks like the guy from the beginning sequences of Ace Venture Pet Detective. Can we get clarification in that so maybe it could be added to the profile? Tazz 15:09, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

When he left
I could have sworn he disappeared from the WWF in late 1989 or early 1990, but his page claims his last appearance was at the 1989 Royal Rumble but i know for sure he was in the 1989 Survivor Series and could have sworn i saw him in an episode of Saturday Night's Main Event in January of the following year which might of been taped a month or two earlier, but i can't confirm it because not many SNME episodes are available.

children
Ron Heard has 3 children 2 sons and 1 daughter. i know this as fact as i was his sister in law for 22 years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marie1957 (talk • contribs) 14:37, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Dudi Sela

Beijing Open
Sela has defeted ranked 5# david ferrer... —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:59, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Serve and volleyer?
I've seen Sela play a few times, and not once did he serve and volley, except for his latest matches in London. Do 3 games on grass make you a serve and volleyer? Is Roger Federer considered a serve and volleyer because he occasionally serve and volleys on grass?

We need more references other than Filip Bondy's take on Sela. RaLo18 (talk with me • my contributions) 09:35, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

 * A proper citation to a reliable source is what Wiki calls for, and that is what we have. You having seem him play "a few times" does not rise to the same level. I'm not aware that we "need" more than one reference to an appropriate source.--Epeefleche (talk) 14:40, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Of course my personal experience of his games isn't enough. I didn't delete the statement, I only added.

 * More than one citation isn't always needed, but in this case, I don't think this one citation is enough. Dudi Sela isn't a notable player, he only reached (limited) global attention this week, by getting to the 4th round of Wimbledon. The journalist can't possibly characterize his style of play correctly with such limited knowledge. RaLo18 (talk with me • my contributions) 17:13, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

 * The way that I understand Wikipedia works is that we are supposed to cite to a reliable source for a statement, which I've done (see Reliable sources). The "fact template" is supposed to be used "to identify sentences ... which need an inline citation" (see Template:Fact), but here there is already such an inline citation to a reliable source (he has been a New York Daily News sports columnist since 1993, and that is certainly considered a reliable source).  And, btw, see this just in ... Sela talking about how his serve and volley game was upset in today's match by retunrns at his feet ...  (Sela: "I couldn't come in after my serve because every time is on my feet").  Our own personal experience based on observing him play "a few times" would come under "original research" (see No original research) or POV (see, which says "The prohibition against original research limits the extent to which editors may present their own points of view in articles .... reinforcing the importance of including verifiable research produced by others .... this policy reinforces our neutrality policy. .... If your viewpoint is in the majority, then it should be easy to substantiate it with reference to commonly accepted reference texts.... Wikipedia is not the place for original research), neither of which would warrant a request for a citation where one already exists.  That being said, I've softened the statement to allow for the possiblity that it is not universally held.--Epeefleche (talk) 18:23, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

 * As I said, my own personal experience of watching his games doesn't matter, I agree. But it doesn't make what you wrote correct.

 * I have two problems with the current wording:
 * One's playing style isn't "viewed as", it's a fact that is "measured" as a whole.
 * Not every reliable source is correct. The press isn't always correct, is it?

 * No one can characterize one's playing style after seeing him play a a few matches, all of which played on the same surface at the same tournament. A player can have a certain tactic which he uses during a certain tournament or on a certain surface, but his playing style will be the tactic which he has used during all his career or a significant part of it. We need more citations to be sure such statement is actually correct (f.e. Laura Robson's playing style paragraph consists of 6 different citations).

 * If you want to include "serve and volley" in his playing style, you should write something like this: "Sela is very quick and uses his leg speed to serve and volley on grass courts", or even a more correct statement: "Sela is very quick and used his leg speed to serve and volley during the 2009 Wimbledon Championships". Both version are awkward, but any other statement about his playing style should be cited better. RaLo18 (talk with me • my contributions) 22:22, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

 * OK, so if we agree that your personal experience of watching Sela a few times doesn't matter, the issues become -- with the reliable sources that we have at hand -- 1) if we are to describe his playing style, what do we say?, and 2) do we have a reliable source on which to base the statement? Here we have one reliable source (under wikipedia guidelines).  His statement was not narrowed the way that you have narrowed it, however.  He states simply that Sela is a serve and volleyer.  I have mirrored his statement.  He did not limit it to one match, or one tournament, and I therefore have no reason to change his words and do so if I wish to cite him accurately.

 * As to your point about the press not always being correct, I would refer you to Verifiability, which says "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—that is, whether readers are able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether we think it is true. Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or likely to be challenged, or the material may be removed." And that is precisely what I have done.  If there are other reliable sources that you would like to refer to that have a different or complementary view, by all means add them.  But I believe I've faithfully followed the direction of Wikipedia guidelines here, and bent over to address your concern.

 * One last point. The editor here is not only a seasoned editor from a reliable publication, but one need not assume that he formed his opinion on the basis only of his observation of Sela at Wimbledon.  He may have seen him at other matches.  He may have referred to the press guide.  He may have spoken to colleagues of his on his publication and other publications who observed Sela in other matches.  He may have reviewed statistics from Sela's career.  In any event, all that Wikipedia asks is that if we have a reliable source with a statement that we reflect it accurately and attribute it properly, which is I believe what I have done.--Epeefleche (talk) 00:19, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

 * If we follow Wikipedia guidelines strictly, then your statement is correct. But Wikipedia guidelines are guidelines, not rules. And I believe that this time, we can't strictly follow the guidelines, because we might get ridiculous statements (I don't want to say that we did get ridiculous statements, because "my own personal experience of watching his games doesn't matter", but that's pretty much the situation).

 * I'm not going to continue this conversation, because you have your opinion and I have mine, and they're not going to change (and starting an edit war isn't a good idea either), but I don't think this statement will last long (unless, of course, Sela changes his playing style).

 * PS, I removed one citation of the playing style section, as Djokovic didn't say anything about Sela being a serve and volleyer (you might have misread it. Djokovic said Haas plays good serve and volley. And actually, that's still not enough to make some a serve and volleyer, becuase it means he's good at it, not that he uses it a lot). RaLo18 (talk with me • my contributions) 08:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Archiving
Unless there is a consensus against it, I suggest automatic archiving of this talk page. If you have thoughts as to archiving, including paramaters (ie, maximum number of strings not archived at any time, and amount of time strings left on page without any response -- if they exceed that max number), pls leave your thoughts here.--Epeefleche (talk) 23:37, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Why?--Oneiros (talk) 23:43, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Obviously, no need as of yet--and the parameters could ensure that it would not take comments of the front talk page while they are recent or they are few in number. But I think its good to put in place now, so that when there are a number of comments on this page that are stale the page is not cluttered.  I'm open on the parameters.--Epeefleche (talk) 00:00, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * My defaults are 10 threads and 30 days.--Oneiros (talk) 00:11, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Works for me. Happy to await others' input.--Epeefleche (talk) 00:13, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

The result was Delete. Content appears to have been merged to Metric prefix Nakon  01:33, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Dimi (metric prefix)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Per WP:NOTDICTIONARY -War wizard90 (talk) 03:20, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Science-related deletion discussions. -War wizard90 (talk) 03:21, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete No reliable sources show that this word satisfies WP:GNG as a topic. The term has been mentioned at the dab dimi so no redirect is needed. Johnuniq (talk) 03:49, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete, unnecessary dicdef. Opabinia regalis (talk) 07:06, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not merit an article. (There could be a list of all obsoleted bits of the metric system.) Imaginatorium (talk) 07:48, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete: not included in Metric prefix which appears to be a solid and well-sourced article; not listed in OED (while "kilo-" as a prefix is listed); no source other than the dubious Cardarelli. Needs to be removed from the dab page too, as it is not present in the target article, but I'll leave it there for now in case someone finds a reliable source and adds it to Metric prefix where it would belong if verifiable. Pam  D  10:42, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. This appears to be a legitimate prefix ("dimigramme" was once used in medical contexts). That would normally suggest a merge to Metric prefix (as PamD suggests), with a note on when the prefix died away. However, with no source other than the unreliable Cardarelli, I see no alternative to deletion. One wonders why this article was created in the first place. -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:00, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge to Metric prefix. This was an abbreviation for decimilli which used by the French until a decree of 1961.  See The Metric System, which explains this on page 34.  Cardarelli is a French scientist and so may reasonably considered an authority on the matter.  The derogatory references to this respectable author above seem quite outrageous and contrary to WP:BLP, "the possibility of harm to living subjects must always be considered when exercising editorial judgment. This policy applies to ... other pages, including talk pages" Andrew D. (talk) 20:31, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your concern. However, I would like to set your mind at rest: there is a convention in educated circles of referring to books by the name of the author. In this case, therefore, saying for example "Cardarelli is full of nonsense" is a criticism of a book, and a valid criticism at that, and not in any way derogatory towards the person. In fact it is entirely possible that if you could chat to the author you would find that he is actually quite angry, because the publisher got in some cheap labour to do the proof-reading (etc), and made a mess of what he intended to be a carefully edited work. In such a case criticism of the book would go hand in hand with sympathy for the author. (I prefer to guess that the "hat-trick" junk in particular was added outside M. Cardarelli's control.) Imaginatorium (talk) 12:40, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete, do not merge. Regardless of the reliability of Cardarelli, something that can be sourced only to a single line of a single table in a single book is not notable. (The same comment applies to all three of the units micri, lacta, and dimi, which should probably have been merged into a single AfD.) —David Eppstein (talk) 22:06, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment We tried a bundled AfD, but it was closed as "no consensus", see Articles for deletion/Aum (unit). -War wizard90 (talk) 23:42, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep or merge to Metric prefix. The prefix is documented in e.g. The metric system : a critical study of its principles and practice, translated in 1969 from Esprit et bon usage du systeme metrique by Maurice Danloux-Dumesnils, 1965. -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 09:43, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * According to Google, that book has a single mention of "dimi". However, WP:N requires a lot more in order to justify an article. Johnuniq (talk) 10:47, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * The issue here is not justifying an article; it's justifying a deletion. The motion being discussed is that the special delete function be used to remove this page and its history from view.  I'm not seeing any reason to do this when there's the better alternative of amending the page to redirect to a relevant section in a more general article.  Our editing policy, WP:PRESERVE, is to save what is useful rather than wantonly using the delete function to destroy everything. Andrew D. (talk) 12:19, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment: Here is Cardarelli himself commenting on a QA board on the obsoleting of the myriagramme etc, being not adopted by the CGPM (is that 1963). So they should go in a list "Obsolete" in the metric prefixes. There really isn't any point I think in a redirect, but if you add all the bytes and hours UKW is going to expend on this, a redirect saves humanity a lot. Imaginatorium (talk) 12:49, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Given that this is now included in Metric prefix, there's no further reason for this page to exist. PianoDan (talk) 16:02, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

ASP.NET/Database

ASP.NET Database
ASP.NET v1.1.4322

Introduction
A database is essentially a place to store data. However the key to understanding the term "database" is that a database is an electronic warehouse for storing data. Databases can contain any type of data (depending on the manufacturer/vendor). For example the Wikibooks website is maintained within a database.

There are many types of database. Hierarchy database, Network database, Relational database, Object database, XML database. Even a file system or Excel can be considered as a database.

The most common structure for storing the data is as a table. Each row in the table is a record and each column is a field. The table may relate to other tables by sharing a common field. This is known as a relational database.

Relational database is the dominant database in the database market today. There are proprietary ones like Oracle, IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase, ANTs, and open source ones like PostgreSQL, MySQL, Derby, Berkeley DB (Sleepcat) etc.

There are typically limitations on length and width of database tables. SQL Server 2005 has an 8K row width limit for example, and many lengths are limited by 32-bit addressing, to at most approximately 4E9 records. This increases to approximately 1.8E19 records with 64-bit addressing.

The Microsoft .NET framework comes with several namespaces to manage data in databases. .NET also comes with SQL Server and Oracle native providers. A native provider will only work with one database product, and uses the native database more efficiently. There are several generic database classes, however if you are using a database that has a native provider, use it.

Performing database operations is fairly easy in ASP.NET. Below is a quick sample of how to connect to a database.

Connecting to a Database
VB.NET Class Page1 Public Sub Page_Load (byval sender as System.Object, byval eventars as System.EventArgs) Dim sqlconn as new SQLConnection("database connection string") sqlconn.Open End Sub

End Class C#.NET public class Page1

{   public void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)    { string strConn = "database connection string"; // the italicized database connection string above should // be replaced by some real valid one. SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection(strConn); sqlConn.Open; } }

Comments on the C# example: using System; using System.Collections; using System.Web; using System.Web.UI; using System.Web.UI.WebControls; using System.Data; using System.Data.SqlClient;
 * Since the Page_Load event handler (i.e. the "void" method which handles this event) is declared inside a class declaration (named "Page1"), it means usually that in such case it is in a separate "code behind" file, and if the ASP.NET file of the page is named "Page1.aspx" it's code behind file is usually named "Page1.aspx.cs". Should it be declared in the same file as the source code of the page (i.e., inside ... tags) there would be no need to make a page class declaration.
 * In the case you are using the code behind coding model it is necessary to include the appropriate attributes in the @Page directive (look in the SDK documentation for details).
 * In the code behind file the class is to be declared inside a "namespace" declaration (named usually after the name of the application - namespace DataAccess{ ... }, for instance).
 * Above the namespace declaration it is advisable to add using declarations for the integrated namespaces of the .NET framework, so you will be able to refer to the .NET classes with short names, not System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection, for instance. In the case of single file code model, the appropriate @Import directives should be added.
 * The Page1 class should usually be inherited explicitly from System.Web.UI.Page. Thus our Page1 source code file might look like:

namespace DataAccess

{   public class Page1 : System.Web.UI.Page {       public void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)        { ...       }    } }

 * The access modifier of the Page_Load event handler in the present example is "public". Usually it is customary to use a "protected", or even a "private" access modifier (for encapsulation reasons). In the present example though, the programmer might wish to access the sqlConn variable outside the Page1 class, so "public" it is...

See also: SQLConnection parameters

ADO.NET
class DBConnection {  public void Page_Load (System.Object sender, System.EventArgs eventars) {    try {        SqlConnection sqlconnection = new SqlConnection("database connection string"); sqlconnection.Open; }       catch(Exception ex) {        MessageBox.show(ex.message); }  } }

ADO.NET Connection String Example (Trusted Connection)
server=DBSERVER;database=DBName;Trusted_Connection=True;

Connection Pooling
In classic ASP, database connections were not managed very effectively. However with the advent of ASP.NET, database connection pooling is fairly translucent. If the same connection string is provided, connection pooling is handled automatically.

I'm surprised not much has been added in the last decade, it is not like stellar evolution has changed drastically. I'll admit I have not looked through a large number of Wikiversity lessons, but as a student I would not get much out of this lesson. And why is calculus considered a prerequisite for this lesson?

Cryptography/Polyalphabetic substitution

A Polyalphabetic substitution cipher is simply a substitution cipher with an alphabet that changes. For example one could have two alphabets:

Plain Alphabet:    A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Cipher Alphabet #1: B D F H J L N P R T V X Z A C E G I K M O Q S U W Y Cipher Alphabet #2: Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N M L K J I H G F E D C B A

Now to encrypt the message ``The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs" we would alternate between the two cipher alphabets, using #1 for every first letter and #2 for every second, to get: ``Msj joxfp dicda ucu tfzkjw ceji msj xzyb hln".

Polyalphabetic substitution ciphers are useful because the are less easily broken by frequency analysis, however if an attacker knows for instance that the message has a period n, then he simply can individually frequency analyze each cipher alphabet.

The number of letters encrypted before a polyalphabetic substitution cipher returns to its first cipher alphabet is called its period. The larger the period, the stronger the cipher. Of course, this method of encryption is certainly not secure by any definition and should not be applied to any real-life scenarios.

Lasange, Beevor, and Speaker are confirmed to AmSam. ( blocked Speaker.) PlasmaBolt matches AmSam in various ways (besides the rather obvious ducking), and I'mgonnagetyou matches PlasmaBolt in the same ways (geolocation, UA) and their reverts are an obvious giveaway. I'm filing this because, despite saying "If I was to get another chance in future, I would certainly avoid using multiple accounts", clearly couldn't wait for more than a day to start socking again, as if it's compulsive. Moreover, it may be that someone recognizes these edits (war, disasters, lesbian athletes--yeah it's a juicy if juvenile mix) and knows of an earlier incarnation.

Beanom was blocked on 11 February on suspicions that they were a sockpuppet. They claimed they had nothing to do with the user LauraWilliamson, who was blocked for being a sockpuppet of Gordimalo. Beanom was unblocked on 17 February and given another chance. Despite this, they did not make any edits for the next couple weeks until today, right after another sockpuppet of Gordimalo, Caretaker John, was blocked. Beanom right after CJ was blocked then cleared their talk page and began making edits that were nothing other than restoring the edits of Caretaker John that were reverted by Drmies. Beanom restored the edits on pages he never edited before, only restoring edits by the blocked sockpuppet Caretaker John.

Comments by other users
After being detected, this user was apparently disappointed and started just vandalizing the pages. The behavior is also unusual in another aspect: they did not really try to hide the usage of alternative accounts, but rather acted as if they wanted to be detected. Looks like a plot.

I spoke with Drmies about these two suspected puppet accounts, and they in turn banned them both. If you look at Coats Indoors's edit history, it starts in March of this year, almost exactly one month before One Way System was banned, and the articles, content, and focus of the edits are nearly identical between the two. Another clear correlation is that One Way System began editing on 6 April 2021 and was banned on 30 April 2021 (see link above). If you look at Coats Indoors's edit history, there is a gap in which they make no edits at all between those exact dates. They make edits from 22 March 2021 to 6 April 2021, the day One Way System started making identical edits, and then stop altogether until 1 May 2021, one day after One Way System was banned. That on on top of the obvious connection between the types of edits and articles between the two accounts makes it pretty obvious they are sockpuppets. Anwegmann (talk) 22:17, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

On the 19th of July this suspect reverted my edit on Love Island (2015 TV series) without a valid explanation (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Love_Island_(2015_TV_series)&diff=prev&oldid=1034382350). Did the same thing on 2nd of August when I reinstated my edit (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Love_Island_(2015_TV_series)&diff=prev&oldid=1036765056). The user made an explanation on my talk page, but not one I agreed with. I reinstated my own edit as per my own reasoning.

Literally minutes after this, I noticed that Done Us All Good was blocked for being a suspected sockpuppet. That confirmed to me that that user was likely a disruptive user. But almost immediately after, a brand new user account appeared called User:Go outside or go to the hall, which reverted my edit again (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Love_Island_(2015_TV_series)&diff=prev&oldid=1036770869). A third Wikipedian (User:DarkGlow) then reverted Go outside or go to the hall's action (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Love_Island_(2015_TV_series)&oldid=1036784368). The suspect made 2 more edits after, which were reverted by a fourth user (User:ThisIsDanny) (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Love_Island_(2015_TV_series)&diff=1036802782&oldid=1036786665).

Surely it can't be a coincidence. It is clear that User:Go outside or go to the hall was created as a sock for User:Done Us All Good minutes after the latter was blocked for another sockpuppet incident (which I cannot seem to find), reverting my edit on that article with the same reasoning.

However, that account hasn't edited since early September and I suspect they've moved on to a new one by now, so I'd like CU to check for any other accounts.

Talk:Order of precedence in India

List or table?
Currently, the order of precedence is presented in the form of a table, with the numbers added in manually. Wouldn't it make more sense to do this as an ordered list, where the numbering is done automatically?

For example, the first two lines would look like this:

 * 1) President
 * 2) Vice President

instead of this:

Any thoughts? Alkari 22:41, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, a table is better. I'll clean it up. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  05:41, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Incorrect example
This order / warrant of precedence is incorrect. Many persons are placed on certain numbers. For example, there may be ten categories of ranks / posts / authorities in a single article. Lawexpert 16:22, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * For example? =Nichalp   «Talk»=  05:41, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Spanish: An Introduction

IRC channel
Maybe we could establish an IRC channel for this subject. What you think?--Juan 15:14, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Merge
I'm going to keep adding these merge tags to new participation pages in the Spanish Department until things get merged/sorted out, and students know where to go. The Jade Knight 22:10, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I think its chaotic. Sorted would be better. Anyway is there any rule, that there cant be to courses, project, lessons about the same, but having a different point of wiev. So I am against the merge.--Juan 09:16, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not entirely sure what your point is. As it currently stands, there is no way for potential students/instructors to tell which of the six lists they should sign up at in the Spanish program.  Either these lists need to be combined, or there needs to be a clear sorting system, or a combination of the two.  The Jade Knight 09:53, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Concerning the merge with Spanish One, much of this material looks like it will be similar. What will be the differences?  Why would a student choose one and not the other?  This, above all, needs to be clear.  The Jade Knight 09:55, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I have sturted the new one, cus the old one looks death. Anyway there could be a difference in methods. So I would vote for king of sorting.--Juan 12:09, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

@Thats what the sitution will completely block. Yes! It is possible sorted them out. But the code used in Spanish is difficult and for me additional work. I am becomming to be tired from this birocracy.--Juan 15:13, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Vocabulary
We need to be able to organize vocabulary words into parts of speech as well as category (around the house, eating, school, at the park.) Is there any way we can have references to the wiktionary?JoelWhitehouse 15:37, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, I can link all the vocabulary to wiktionary via wiktionary:en: Is what you ment?--Juan 19:05, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Extra line
When I added myself to the table as a student, why is there an extra line above my name?? Buddpaul 17:13, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

 * This bug was fixed.--Juan 19:05, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Skype
Is there any possibility of us using some other form of voice communication? "Skype" for my system simply doesn't exist (GNU/Linux on PowerPC). --Rjc 15:33, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, what kind of protocol you suggest?--Juan 06:55, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * SIP, H.323 or any other open protocol would do.--rjc 10:07, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I've never heard of either of those. Most commonly used protocols (in no particular order):  AIM, MSN (now Live Messenger), Skype, ICQ, Yahoo, GTalk (and, of course, IRC, but that's no good for voice).  The Jade Knight 01:47, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I was talking about protocols, not particular software. Please check VoIP about what VoIP is. --rjc 11:24, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yahoo, AIM, and MSN are all protocols. I use VoIP regularly.  I don't really understand what you're getting at.  The Jade Knight 02:59, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * AIM is a software and it uses OSCAR protocol (also used in ICQ), MSN or now WLM uses MSNP protocol and Yahoo! uses YMSG, but that's beside the point. Client !== Protocol. What I was talking about ware the open protocols, so everyone can use them - I would also like to be able to comunicate with you, that's why SIP, H.323 or even XMPP/Jabber using a client with libjingle.--rjc 02:42, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

helping
I can help you teaching (I am a navite speaker and a teacher in real life but this project doesn't explain how to do it. I'm "Barcelona" user in catalan wikipedia--<IP_ADDRESS> 11:29, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I recommend you create a username for Wikiversity, and contribute under that. Your help in teaching would be much appreciated (at least by me) in the Spanish department.  Right now the project does not explain how because there is no set way—you can edit the pages, and add any content you think would be helpful.  If  you were to structure an online course in learning Spanish, how would you do it?  The Jade Knight 11:45, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Stalled?
Has this course stalled?? Buddpaul 17:23, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I hope not, but its very difficult to create all the content just by myself. Maybe there should be a better methodology, when students will help to create this conntent. Good point we can run and IRC, channel.--Juan 18:24, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Plan
I think its important for us to plan the course 1st and then begin adding to the course following established layouts. Forgive me for saying so, but the course currently seems very messy to me and i think it might put people off joining. There are too many red links etc and layout is not consistent. I propose that we begin a plan here --RMFan1 17:33, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Nothing to forgive: you just tell your opinion. And that is welcome here.
 * If you have some ideas, tell them please. It is a wiki, you just have to be bold. Erkan Yilmaz uses the Wikiversity:Chat (try) 18:21, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I am currently studying Computer Science at Case Western Reserve University, Ohio, USA. I have a pretty thorough knowledge of Java. I am quite familiar with any Intro to Programming concepts and Data Structures, along with numerous sorting algorithms. I also have studied a number of math topics, including topics from Discrete Mathematics and through Calc 4 (That includes derivatives, integrals, multivariable calc, and differential equations).

So... If you have a programming related question, don't hesitate to ask. Either use the talk page, my recommended form, e-mail or, best of all, both! (There is a link in the toolbox thingie on the lower left for emailing a user). You will get a response, hopefully quickly.

Job attitude

A job attitude is a set of evaluations of one's job that constitute one's feelings toward, beliefs about, and attachment to one's job. Overall job attitude can be conceptualized in two ways. Either as affective job satisfaction that constitutes a general or global subjective feeling about a job, or as a composite of objective cognitive assessments of specific job facets, such as pay, conditions, opportunities and other aspects of a particular job. Employees evaluate their advancement opportunities by observing their job, their occupation, and their employer.

Defining
Research demonstrates that interrelationships and complexities underlie what would seem to be the simply defined term job attitudes. The long history of research into job attitudes suggests there is no commonly agreed upon definition. There are both cognitive and affective aspects, which need not be in correspondence with each other. Job attitude should also not be confused with the broader term attitude, because attitude is defined as a psychological tendency that is expressed by evaluating a particular entity with some degree of favor or disfavor, whereas job attitude is a particular instance as an entity. In the definition above, the term "job" involves one's current position, one's work or one's occupation, and one's employer as its entity. However, one's attitude towards his/her work does not necessarily have to be equal with one's attitudes towards his/her employer, and these two factors often diverge.

Global
Global job attitudes are attitudes developed towards a job through the organization, working environment, affective disposition, aggregate measures of job characteristics and the social environment. They depend on the broad totality of work conditions. In fact, job attitudes are also closely associated with more global measures of life satisfaction. Scales such as "Faces" enable researchers to interpret overall satisfaction with work. The Job in General scale focuses on the cognitive perspective (rather than applied) of the effects of job attitudes. A variety of job attributes are associated with different levels of satisfaction within global job attitudes.

Other types

 * 1) Job Involvement:  Identifying with one's job and actively participating in it, and considering performance important to self-worth.
 * 2) Organizational Commitment: Identifying with a particular organization and its goals, and wishing to maintain membership in the organization.
 * 3) Perceived Organizational Support (POS): The degree to which employees feel the organization cares about their well-being. And also the organisation is paying him well salary if he leaves the company his family should be affected.
 * 4) Employee Engagement: An individual's involvement with, satisfaction with, and enthusiasm for the organization.

Affective
Affective job satisfaction is a singular construct comprising an overall emotional feeling about a job as a whole or in general. Affective job satisfaction is measured with items addressing the extent to which individuals subjectively and emotively like their job overall, not a composite of how individuals cognitively assess two or more specific aspects of their job. The 4-item Brief Index of Affective Job Satisfaction has been developed to produce a purely affective as opposed to cognitive measure of overall affective job satisfaction.

Job facet satisfaction
Job facet satisfaction refers to feelings about specific job aspects, such as salary, benefits, and relationships with co-workers.
 * Satisfaction with work: The emotional state of a worker while working is critical to job attitudes. Although a person may self-identify in terms of profession, for example as a doctor, lawyer or engineer, it is their well-being at work which is significant in characterizing job attitude. Satisfaction with work can be analyzed by evaluation (I like or dislike my job), cognitively (my work is challenging) and behaviorally (I am reliable).
 * Supervision: Supervision has a significant relationship with productivity. However, supervision can only be taken positively with acceptance. Therefore, it is important to ensure a positive attitude to work.
 * Co-workers: Co-workers are a common source of job stress, as demonstrated by studies using role theory.
 * Pay and promotion: Given employee commitment and organizational personality orientation, compensation and advancement function as positive reinforcement, demonstrating that the worker is valued and reinforcing loyalty.

Emotional exhaustion
Interpersonal conflict affects job attitudes: cut-throat competition resulted in a bitter relationship with co-workers. The exacerbated stress leads to emotional exhaustion, and this negatively affects job attitude.

Personality
Subordinates' job attitude, such as job satisfaction and turnover intention, does not influence "satisfaction with the supervisor". The supervisor's personality strongly influences the subordinate's "satisfaction with the supervisor". Personality traits of the supervisor, in particular agreeableness, extroversion and emotional stability, are positively related to subordinate attitude and have a greater effect on subordinate satisfaction with supervision than do more general work-related attitudes. Supervisor agreeableness and emotional stability were positively related with employee satisfaction with the supervisor, and supervisor extroversion was negatively correlated with turnover intentions.

Cyber-loafing
Employees who have lower job involvement and intrinsic involvement are more likely to be involved in cyber loafing behavior. Employees who perceive the work environment as supportive and motivating are less likely to engage in cyber loafing; conversely, groups within the company who engage in social loafing using the internet create a norm of such behavior. However, there was only a limited relationship between non-internet loafing behavior and cyber loafing. Chit-chat between co-workers can be a sign of productivity as well as a sign of wasting time.

Task performance
Companies whose workers have positive attitudes are more effective than whose workers do not. Job attitude influences performance, and not performance that influences attitude.

Withdrawal vs. counterproductivity
Human relation variables and group norms are variables of job attitude that are directly related to turnover. Identification with the organization was directly related to turnover, whereas group norms had an indirect relationship with turnover.
