Useful points made at FL review
Thanks to for the following:

 * The lead is anemic. An FL lead is supposed to generally summarize what the list is going to be about in enough detail that the reader, who is generally familiar with the idea of cricket being a sport with matches, can follow along. This does not. Ah, no, it actually does not. Will write a full summary.

 * Lists are not meta additions to articles; they are stand-alone things. "This is a list" and "complements History of cricket to 1725" are not appropriate, nor is the later discussion of how the format differs from other articles/lists that are not this one. Good point.

 * You don't need a standard wikitable if you don't care for sorting. That said, that table format is really offputting: I don't know what a standard sports template is, but something that looks more like e.g. List of Mystery Dungeon video games would be much better. I'll look into this but I think the format works well for presenting information of this kind. As you say, this is not a table to be sorted so no point in going down the "standard" route.

 * This list is short enough that I'm not sure why you're restricting it to "significant" matches instead of all matches, especially without an explicit criteria for what "significant" means. Better wording is needed in the lead. It is a list of ALL KNOWN matches to 1725, significant or otherwise. My apologies for misleading you.

 * The "First Mentions" section has no references; even if the sources are used elsewhere in the list, they need to be explicitly cited here. Fair enough. Can deal with that.

 * Okay, so there's only a couple dozen matches that we know about (or were "significant") prior to 1726, but we know there were also several dozen standing teams at some point in the 100+ years? But not the points they existed at, even vaguely, for most of them. This section is missing a ton of details the reader would expect, and doesn't attempt to explain why they're not there either. Ditto.

Will take these on board and see if I can improve the article. Thanks again. Jack | talk page 07:29, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Have decided the article should not be a WP:LIST and will treat as a normal season review article, so it has been moved and renamed. Jack | talk page 13:31, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

A good summary
This is a good summary but as you may be aware, the term first class cricket cannot apply. It did not apply then. In History we should apply the terms in use. If we refer to later classifications, they must be 'first class' rather than first class. As you know I believe IMPORTANT to be the only valid term and can call on Keith Warsop for support. First class is an obsession of Bailey and Griffiths. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 11:27, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Hello, Mark. Yes, I agree with you that the matches are not first-class as we understand and use the term today. This is why I have stressed here and elsewhere that important matches played before 1895 are "unofficially first-class", but I admit I'm not comfortable with such an expression. Thinking about it, I believe the ACS got it right in 1981 when they published A Guide to Important Cricket Matches Played in the British Isles 1709–1863. Okay, I'm going to use "important" in future as it is apt, capturing the essential status of the matches and, as an adjective, is more meaningful than "significant" (a village game can be significant) or "great" (which was used in many contemporary accounts, but inconsistently) or (whisper it in case CA are listening) "first-class". Whatever CA might try to insist, first-class cricket began in 1895 and, as you say, comparable matches before then need a different terminology. I disagree with many of CA's classifications, some of which are illogical and their "coverage" of early cricket is dire.
 * So, yes, I'll go with "important". Thank you very much for the feedback and the recommendation. All the best to Keith and yourself. Jack | talk page 15:53, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * All, please note change from list-class to article-class because this is essentially a season review, though somewhat long-term because less than thirty matches are known. Still rated B-class as above. Thanks. Jack | talk page 09:21, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

string::find return type
Which one is right?

--DavidCary (talk) 02:32, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * returns an  ? -- old version of C++ Programming/Code/IO/Streams/string; but the compiler I'm using today tells me "warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions".
 * returns a  ? -- SGI reference; but the compiler I'm using today keeps telling me "error: 'size_type' was not declared in this scope".
 * returns a  ? -- another C++ reference; this seems to compile -- on this ancient compiler I'm using today. But is it portable?

 * What compiler are you using?   is the correct one, by what is on the 2003 standard.
 * Use  and the "error: 'size_type' was not declared in this scope" should be solved.  --Panic (talk) 19:06, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, that makes sense. Now my compiler accepts it. So actually

 * returns a
 * right? --DavidCary (talk) 04:04, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Well the correct terminology is that the type is size_type, the  bit is the namespace/scope were the compiler can find a definition for it, in general a type can be the same or different across several namespaces/scopes sharing the same keyword, in this case it also exists in other namespaces/scope (ie  ) and from your previous searches it seems that some time back it was a int.
 * For what is on the standard (2003) the size_type is implementation dependent and size_t will (with a high degree of certainty) be equal to size_type (but the standard doesn't commit to it and I couldn't find a clear reason why...) --Panic (talk) 04:44, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you. OK, I've updated C++ Programming/Code/IO/Streams/string based on the new understanding you've given me. As always, feel free to improve that page, even if it means reverting my mis-guided edits. --DavidCary (talk) 13:58, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

mathematical operations

MATALAB?
How does C++ compare with MATALAB? When should one use C++ instead of MATLAB? When is C++ superior to MATLAB? When is MATLAB superior to C++?

 * That is a bit like discussing what the differences are between oranges and apples, even more problematic since the analogy is even closer since both are fruits.
 * C++ is a programming language MATLAB is not even if it is scriptable the functions or objectives rarely are the same (MATLAB can be used to examine algorithms). Since they really can't be directly compared (unless we define a specific problem that can be addressed by both) the comparison has no meaning in generic terms, each does what it they are proposed to do. Also consider that MATLAB is a commercial product there is some fairly recent products that already replicate some functionalities of that software package in the case of programming languages there is no direct concurrency, there is only one C++ language even if some other languages can perform the same tasks they are ultimately completely distinct in use, capabilities and results (see the book section that compares C++ with similar languages if you need further info on that). --Panic (discuss • contribs) 08:39, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

c++ programming logical
A=9,B=9 why C=A!=B+1+(A==B) get the result C=0 ?

 * Go by steps and check operator resolution priority on the table. In any case doing such logic in a single operation like that is bad coding practice, you can extend it into several operations unless compiler optimization needs to be turned off, in that case you should provide an appropriate comment. --Panic (discuss • contribs) 09:44, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Programming terms
hello there, I don't know anything about programming c++, but i ran on these words and would like to know what they are or how to get them: can you help pls?

 * - initial interface
 * - data loggin
 * - polling system
 * - object inspector
 * - gage component

thanks a lot

 * This have no specific relation to C++, even if they can be declared as terms used in programming. All depend on the context they are used so it would be mostly guessing to what they mean as listed above.
 * An interface can be many things but lets assume it refers to classes, in that case the initial interface may be indicating the parent class interface before derivation.
 * Data logging relates to keeping "data" for review (a log).
 * Polling system may be something like detecting if a system is active (for instance in dealing with threads) or in networks it can also be referring to deciding a priority by a vote (see distributed systems).
 * Object inspector is just like it states, you should learn more about Object Oriented Programming first.
 * The gage component can be so many things that I will not conjecture about it.
 * Programming is hard, it is not only understanding a language but knowing what can be done with it, understanding all the intrinsics of a language. Knowing the code is even less important that fully understanding the concepts behind how and why things are implemented as they are. If you understand those, every language will become very similar to you, as they ultimately share the same basic functional purpose. --Panic (discuss • contribs) 19:11, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

C++
what's the difference between \n & endl;

 * The first is a legacy notation from many older languages including C, the latest (I guess you intended to refer to std::endl) behavior is mostly equivalent but has further uses (streams) and guarantees see for example what was answered here, provides a complete coverage of the issue. --Panic (discuss • contribs) 23:32, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

the hello world example
Hi guys,

I am trying to learn C++ using your book. But the hello world example is confusing!

Here is why:

- the use of "int" before "main" is explained much later than it should be;

- the explanation claims that the first line of the program contains a line ending in \n and then waxes lyrical about what this means but the first line of the example does not contain \n !

Joy Bangla

Joy Bangla or Jai Bangla (জয় বাংলা) is a slogan and war cry used in Bangladesh and Indian state of West Bengal to indicate nationalism towards the geopolitical, cultural and historical region of Bengal and Bangamata (also known as Bangla Maa or Mother Bengal). It is also recognised as the national slogan of Bangladesh. It translates roughly to "Victory to Bengal" or "Hail Bengal".

History
Purnachandra Das, an Indian schoolteacher and revolutionary from Madaripur, Bengal Presidency (now Bangladesh) was imprisoned in the Berhampur Jail for his involvement in the Indian independence movement. Bengali poet Kazi Nazrul Islam composed the poem 'Purna-Abhinandan' from the book of poems 'Bhangar Gaan' at the request of Kalipada Roychowdhury on the occasion of the release of Purnachandra Das from prison. Kazi Nazrul Islam first used the word Joy Bangla in this poem. The name of the slogan Joy Bangla comes from this poem named "Pūrṇa Abhinandan" (1922) by Kazi Nazrul Islam. The middle two lines of the fifth stanza are as follows:

জয় বাংলার পূর্ণচন্দ্র, জয় জয় আদি-অন্তরীণ! জয় যুগে-যুগে-আসা-সেনাপতি, জয় প্রাণ আদি-অন্তহীন! Joy Bangla'r pūrṇochondro, joy joy adi ontorīṇ joy jugē jugē asa sēnapoti, joy prāṇ ontohīn Hail to bengal's full moon, hail to the eternally enveloped, All hail to the warriors who came here generation after generation, hail to the ceaseless eternal souls.
 * In Bengalī script:
 * Transliteration
 * English Translation

It appeared in the 11-point charter put forth by the Sarbadaliya Chhatra Sangram Parishad on 4 January 1969. After the release of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the SCSP held a rally at the Ramna Race Course ground on 22 February 1969, to honour him. When Mujib was conferred the title of Bangabandhu, cries of Joy Bangla came from all over the park.

Joy Bangla was the slogan and war cry of the Mukti Bahini that fought for the independence of Bangladesh during the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. In Bangladesh Liberation War, 27 March 1971 Major Ziaur Rahman broadcast announcement of the declaration of independence on behalf of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and he finished with "Joy Bangla".

After the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Khondakar Mostaq Ahmad replaced Joy Bangla with Bangladesh Zindabad.

National slogan of Bangladesh
The High Court on 4 December 2017 directed the government of Bangladesh to explain "why 'Joy Bangla' would not be declared as national slogan of the county.'"

On 10 March 2020, The High Court made the declaration naming "Joy Bangla" as the official national slogan of Bangladesh.

Justice FRM Nazmul Ahasan and Justice KM Kamrul Kader announced this after settling a rule on a writ petition filed two years ago. The High Court also added that this order will be done fulfill within next three months.

Bangladesh constitutional office-holders and all state officials will be use on all national days and in appropriate cases, at the end of their speeches in state programmes. All of educational institution teachers and students must be use the Joy Bangla motto at the end of assemblies. On 20 February 2022 the cabinet division has decided to make Joy Bangla as the national slogan. On 2 March 2022 The government has issued a notification declaring 'Joy Bangla' as the national slogan of Bangladesh. According to the notification:

1.(a) ' Joy Bangla ' will be the national slogan of Bangladesh.

(b) Officials of all government offices should chant the slogan 'Joy Bangla' at the end of all national day celebrations and other functions of the state and the government.

(c) Teachers and students should say the slogan 'Joy Bangla' at the end of daily gatherings and for concluding speeches at meetings and seminars in all educational institutions.

In Bangladesh
The salutation "Joy Bangla" is the official slogan of the Bangladesh Awami League. The phrase "Joy Bangla, Joy Bangabandhu" is used by the party members at the end of speeches and communications pertaining to or referring to patriotism towards Bangladesh and Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib.

In West Bengal
The slogan Joy Bangla is also officially used by Mamata Banerjee and by her party Trinamool Congress as part of attempt to create a territorial and ethnolinguistic identity for Bengalis in India. It is used in particular, as a closing remark for political speeches.

In West Bengal in January 2018, for the first time in India, Bengali nationalist organization "Bangla Pokkho" raised the slogan Joy Bangla.

In popular culture
On 7 March 1971 Sheikh Mujibur Rahman called for independence and asked the people of Bangladesh to launch a major campaign of civil disobedience and organized armed resistance at a mass gathering of people held at the Race Course Ground in Dhaka.

"The struggle now is the struggle for our emancipation; the struggle now is the struggle for our independence. Joy Bangla!.. (For more info, see: 7th March Speech of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman)"

The surrender ceremony of the Pakistani military also took place at the Race Course Ground on 16 December 1971. About 93,000 Pakistani troops surrendered, making it the largest military surrender that occurred after World War 2. Lieutenant General Jagjit Singh Aurora, Joint Commander of Indian and Bangladesh Forces accepted the surrender without a word, while the crowd on the race course erupted in celebrations, shouting victory slogans, "Joy Bangla".

The phrase has also given its name to
 * Joy Bangla weekly (1971), one of the two official mouthpieces of the provisional Mujibnagar government, that led the Bangladesh's independence war.
 * Joy Bangla Banglar Joy, a patriotic and popular song. It was the signature tune of the Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra.
 * Joy Bangla Concert, annual benefit concert by Young Bangla.
 * Joy Bangla Youth Award, the flagship Award event of Young Bangla.

An Cat Dubh / Into the Heart

"An Cat Dubh" and "Into the Heart" are two songs by Irish rock band U2. They are the third and fourth tracks, respectively, on the band's debut album, Boy. The two tracks are played together as one song, both on the album and during live performances.

Track lengths
On European pressings of Boy, "An Cat Dubh" runs at a track length of 4:47, and "Into the Heart" runs at 3:28. On North American pressings of the album, "An Cat Dubh" runs at 6:21, and "Into the Heart" runs at 1:58. This can be easily noted by the visible difference between the two records. However, the tracks together sound identical on both pressings, and also both have a total run time of 8:14. Early compact disc releases combined the two songs into a single track. Due to the track time differences, it is difficult to make an official determination of where one song begins and where one ends (although the band's digital box set The Complete U2 and the 2008 remastered version of Boy standardized the original European pressings' running times). Because of this, the songs are usually considered to be one track.

The 1998 single "Sweetest Thing" features a live performance of both songs from the War Tour, but only "An Cat Dubh" is listed.

Composition
The title "An Cat Dubh" means "The Black Cat" in Irish, although its lyrics are in English. The song was written about a short relationship that lead vocalist Bono had with a woman while split from his girlfriend (now wife) Ali Hewson.

Gavin Friday, a very close friend of Bono, claims that the song is undoubtedly about sex. Bono agreed it is about sex and says that the song conjures the image of a cat and a bird, where the cat kills the bird and then plays with it before sleeping next to it.

"Into the Heart" focuses on the theme of childhood and maturity and the loss of innocence. The beginning of the song is instrumental until Bono starts to sing with the melody. It is always played after "An Cat Dubh".

The songs are layered with several guitar parts and a glockenspiel. Additionally, there is a sustained sound heard during the two tracks that was achieved by guitarist the Edge playing his guitar tuner and producer Steve Lillywhite adding several effects. The group took this approach because they did not have a synthesiser at the recording studio.

Live performances
The songs were played at most shows on the Boy, October, and War Tours, as well as the first leg of The Unforgettable Fire Tour. Following that, neither song was played until the Vertigo Tour in 2005, where it appeared at just over half of the concerts on the first leg of the tour. It was played on one occasion on the second leg, but was subsequently dropped.

"An Cat Dubh" made an appearance in the War Tour as a snippet in "I Fall Down". "Into the Heart" was snippeted in three Elevation Tour shows, twice in "I Will Follow" and once in "Out of Control".

Live performances of "An Cat Dubh"/"Into the Heart" have been released on "Sweetest Thing", digital album Live from Boston 1981, Vertigo 2005: Live from Chicago, and the remastered DVD release of Live at Red Rocks: Under a Blood Red Sky.

In 2010, U2 manager Paul McGuinness said that "An Cat Dubh" remained one of his favourite live tracks, describing it as "symphonic", adding that it had "very big musical ambitions." He stated that the later compositions "Bad" and "One" were "the songs in line of descent from [An Cat Dubh]" because of their ability to continually grow in the live setting.

Wikipedia:Reference desk/Archives/Language/2017 September 13

= September 13 =

Icelandic ð
According to the ð article, the letter never appears as the first letter of a word in Icelandic; only þ is used. Does this mean that þ is voiced in such words, or does it mean that (even more than in English) the Voiced alveolar non-sibilant fricative appears only in the middle of words? Nyttend (talk) 20:51, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

 * The same was true of Old English. Thorn (letter) was a phoneme of these languages, like ess or eff.  Word-initially, they were not voiced consonants, like edh, zee or vee.  These latter were voiced allophones that existed intervocalically only, and were not distinct.  Initial edh developed in English in pronouns and adverbs, which were often de-stressed (thy, these, though, then, than), but not in nouns, adjectives, or verbs (thigh, thin, think).
 * The voiced set edh, zee, vee existed implicitly, but only became distinct in Middle English when contrasting pairs appeared, due to the voicing of initial thorn in unstressed positions and the introduction of initial zee and vee (zeal and veal vs the native seal and feel) from French and Latin words. Then the context-dependent voiced allophones became autonomous phonemes in their own right.
 * μηδείς (talk) 22:24, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

 * I'm well aware of the paucity of these word-initial voiced consonants in English (I was just discussing it with someone this afternoon), but I had no clue that it was present in other Germanic languages a thousand years ago, let alone today. Thank you for the pointer.  Nyttend (talk) 22:31, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

 * User:Nyttend, see Middle_English_phonology and corrections and links added to my original response. μηδείς (talk) 22:34, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Nyttend -- Old English had the sounds [v], [ð], [z], [ɣ] but they were not really phonemic, and there were no letters in the Old English orthography devoted to writing a voiced fricative sound alone (the graphemes "þ" and "ð" were not distinguished by function). The sounds [v], [ð] and [z] did not occur at the beginnings of words, but [ɣ] did occur initially (as it still does in modern Dutch).  Over the course of the Old English period, palatalized [ɣ] merged with [j] (as in "yard"), while non-palatalized [ɣ] at the beginnings of words became [g]...
 * Medeis -- In addition to [θ] becoming [ð] at the beginning of selected destressable function words, other changes that undermined the allophony of [θ]/[ð] in English were the simplification of geminate consonants, and the disappearance of final unstressed schwa vowels (sometimes preserved as orthographic "silent e"). AnonMoos (talk) 00:23, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

 * I know that the loss of final schwas led to words like arrive, sneeze and breathe where intervocality became irrelevant. But this belongs to the latter Middle English period, and is of little effect word-initially.  I am curious, though, at what period were you referring to re the loss of gemination, and can you give some examples of words affected?
 * We can also mention the Gothic language which had voiced fricatives, but except for z, they were intervocalic allophones of b, d, and g, not of eff, ess and thorn. Thanks. μηδείς (talk) 00:37, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Old English had at least a few words such as smiþþe meaning "smithy". This and final [ə]-dropping are relevant to the general question of when [θ] and [ð] were no longer allophones, but phonemes.  The English invariable [ð] at the beginning of function words (as opposed to contextual [ð] when the previous word ended in a vowel, so the fricative was then intervocalic) probably didn't occur until fairly late in Middle English (though perhaps not as late as the deletion of word-final [ə] vowels). AnonMoos (talk) 02:58, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

 * P.S. In some cases in Old English, [v] spelled "f" alternated with [b] -- look at the paradigms for the verbs habban "to have" and libban "to live"... AnonMoos (talk) 15:20, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Appendix talk:Spanish verbs

Is the conditional really a separate mood?
Wonderful page that's been put up. I was interested however by the inclusion of the 'conditional' as a seperate mood (along with the 'indicative', 'subjunctive', and 'imperative'). I had always know the conditional as part of the indicative. The RAE (the official Spanish dictionary) classifies spanish verbs that way (e.g. saltar) as well as Spanish Wiktionary reference page on verb conjugation. Any reason this page classifies the conditional seperately?--Bequw 15:26, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Technically speaking, the conditional really is a separate mood from the indicative, since it connotes that that speaker does not view the clause as specifically in sync with reality. It does seem important to be consistent with the RAE, though, so does anyone know why they consider it part of the indicative?  Rod (A. Smith) 16:28, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Well, every tense of the indicative has a modal use as well; for example, the future indicative can be used to indicate probabilistic-certainty (for example, *doorbell rings* "Oh, that must be John at the door", would be translated using Spanish's future indicative). In Spanish, as in English, the conditional paradigm has a strictly temporal use, like in something like "ayer ya sabíamos que hoy llovería" ("yesterday we already knew that today it would rain"), so it makes some sense to treat it as a tense of the indicative with an additional modal use, and reserve the term "mood" for those paradigms that only have modal uses. (This isn't to say that Wiktionary's approach doesn't make sense — if we're going to call it the "conditional", which is a description of its modal use, then it does make some sense to view it as primarily modal, and anyway the modal use is probably much more common — only that I see it both ways.) —Ruakh TALK 17:07, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Hm...I thought the personal-moods were Indicative, Subjunctive and Imperative. I'm not really that familiar with Spanish, but that's always the way I've seen it with Romance languages, with conditional being under Indicative. I think there's also a Subjunctive conditional in some of them, isn't there? Or maybe I'm thinking of something else. — [ ric | opiaterein ] — 18:43, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't know if this is what you're referring to, but in French the imperfect subjunctive (a very rare paradigm) has historically been used as a German-style conditional (i.e. with both protasis and apodosis being in the imperfect subjunctive, or more commonly — but still quite rarely — the pluperfect subjunctive). —Ruakh TALK 19:01, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

 * It might be interesting to note how es.wikt deals with the issue, as at querer. Interestingly, they classify the forms as three moods: indicative (including conditional), subjunctive, and imperative. This accords with my experience in Spanish language references (in English and Spanish) and seems to be how it is taught in schools, too. In fact I wasn't aware that the conditional could be grammatically considered a mood, until recently. Dmcdevit·t 07:32, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

 * We could maybe mention that modern linguistics categorize the conditional as a seperate mood (see Grammatical mood), but then use, throughout the article, the 'classical' categorization with it included in the indicative.--Bequw 20:36, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Support. Rod (A. Smith) 20:39, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. --Bequw 22:27, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Using English terms instead of Spanish terms
A quick remark on style. This page consistently uses the Spanish name for concepts with the English term in parenthesis (except in the 'Non-Finite Forms' section). As an English language reference of Spanish shouldn't it be the other way around? For example, shouldn't "presente (present)" be replaced with "present (presente)"? I'm not saying we should get rid of the Spanish terms completely, just note them after the English term. --Bequw 15:36, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes, you're quite right. Feel free to make that change.  Rod (A. Smith) 16:29, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Where are the rest of the three tables?
At the end of the article, it says to refer to one of the three conjugation tables for -ar, -ir, and -er conjugation. But there is only one table. What happened? --Jenglish02 01:35, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Accent
The article claims that, "If the unsuffixed verb is written with an accent, it remains written when suffixed." However, this is no longer true (take into account vos verb forms, "callá" becomes "callate"), the RAE recently changed that.

 * You are correct. This rule was changed by the RAE in a recent spelling reform, in the 1990’s. —Stephen 06:32, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

A few issues

 * 1) Etymological active present participles—now considered adjectives derived from the verb, because this is no longer a regular feature of the grammar—are certainly not rare, but I doubt there's any basis to claim most verbs have one, as this appendix currently does. In a quick reading of a random Spanish-language text, like this Wikipedia article, we run into these verbs:
 * ❦ encadenar — Encadenante souds very strange (unlike desencadenante, something which triggers or "unleashes" an event); it's not accepted by the RAE. Probably never used, unless caused by a slip of the tongue, or perhaps in some obscure technical jargon or as an ad hoc invention in a very particular context.
 * ❦ inspirar — Inspirante is no less bizarre, and the RAE doesn't accept it, either. I think it's even less likely to be used than the previous one. There's probably been no need for it so far, since its prospective meaning is covered by inspirador.
 * ❦ ser — We have ente (a being; something which exists, be it in a physical or conceptual sense), but, as a learnèd word borrowed directly from the Classical Latin inflection of esse, it bears so little resemblance to the modern form of the verb, ser, that it's doubtful that a grammatical connection is made between ser and ente by modern speakers. One would quite surely never guess they're related from knowledge of current Spanish alone, without learning their etymology. The lack of an adjective derived from the native Spanish verb can be due to its rôle being filled by existente. As a noun, the infinitive ser itself is used: un ser humano, "a human being".
 * ❦ extender — Extendiente sounds completely alien, and the RAE doesn't accept it, either. We could try extendente with no better luck. The latter would have to be borrowed directly from Latin, too, and not evolved with the Romance lexicon, in order to keep the stressed e from becoming a diphthong.
 * ❦ variar — The first true example we find, though arguably not a very good one: variante is quite rare as an adjective; it's primarily used as a noun with a considerable divergence from the regular meaning one would infer: it's not something which varies, but a different way of doing something or an alternative kind of some living being, object or idea.
 * ❦ describir — Describiente is alien to the language. The RAE doesn't accept it. Descriptivo is the closest thing in use I can recall, alternating with unrelated words like representativo or revelador depending on the precise meaning or the context.
 * ❦ distinguir — Distinguiente is another construct with no real use or need, since we have distintivo and, depending on context, words like discriminante for precision. The RAE doesn't accept it, either.
 * We could keep making this list longer and longer, but I think it's pretty clear the verbs with a functional and clearly recognizable active present participle (amante, paseante, viviente, caminante, cantante) would always be a small minority among all the verbs we'd find. I'd change the article to state only that some verbs have such a participle.
 * 1) When and where can the use of usted or its plural connote an intimate relationship? This is precisely what tú (and its plural vosotros in dialects which don't use always ustedes) or vos (in voseo areas) are used for when contrasted with usted(es).
 * 2) I don't know how to describe it in correct grammar terms, but the given forms of the imperative mood for first person plural and the third person in both grammatical numbers are not usually considered as such. They're of course used with an imperative or exhortative meaning, but this is just another use of the same present subjunctive forms; they're not forms coïncident by chance with the present subjunctive, as one could think the article implies, but are the same verb inflections, exactly like the future indicative form será is the same form whether it's used to mean "it will be" or "I think it probably is". I think this section should be reworded in terms more like those chosen to explain negative orders: "For negative commands, the subjunctive is used instead" (emphasis mine), admitting it is the very subjunctive inflections which are used.
 * 3) I think this appendix vastly overstates how little the traditional second-person plural imperative is used in daily speech. I've summed it up here, as that Wikipedia article does the same.
 * 4) I don't think participles can ever take unstressed (i.e. accusative or dative without preposition) object pronouns.
 * 5) I don't know whether this is the proper place to discuss this point, but I think usted, semantically second-person, is a horrible choice as the sole placeholder pronoun for the third person singular in conjugation templates like this one. If only one can be allowed, this should be él (the masculine being the unmarked grammatical gender in Spanish), or ella if you want, since both of them are always used with a third-person meaning and third-person inflections, don't depend on the way the speaker addresses the listener and have been part of the language pretty much since it came into being as something other than Latin, quite unlike usted, whose appearance is much later and more contrived, replacing the old polite use of the (formerly recognized as) plural vos as vuestra merced, and that's why it doesn't fit so neatly in the paradigm of grammatical persons. The same goes for ustedes as the placeholder for the third person plural instead of the standard ellos (or ellas at most). I know it has already been discussed here, but that page is only one of the many templates affected, and the issue doesn't seem to have gone anywhere. Splibubay 19:10, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Without usage statistics I've changed it to the safer "Some".
 * Agreed. It was added by an IP. I've removed that clause.
 * The answer to this would probably require knowledge of how the imperative conjugations came down from Latin. I don't know.
 * Where do you see the appendix stating the frequency of usage of that form?
 * Agreed, removed.
 * I agree. Maybe we should do away with showing Spanish pronouns altogether (as the English Wiktionary we strive to explain things in English), and instead use the existing superior row to say something to the effect of "2nd informal" - "2nd formal & 3rd".
 * --Bequw → τ 01:46, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Use of usted?
"The use of usted and ustedes is very common in Spanish and is the equivalent of speaking on a lastname basis in English."

I thought that in Spain, as opposed to in Latin America, usted was used very rarely, like only for addressing the elderly and important officials.

Subjunctive -ra and -se forms
Can someone please explain here what these forms are? There were links to the pages for -ra and -se but they don't have Spanish sections so those links didn't help at all. AstroMark (talk) 22:12, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

 * The -ra forms and -se forms are interchangeable. At the present time, the -ra forms are much more common than the -se forms. There is no difference in meaning, and you can use whichever you like. —Stephen (Talk) 03:56, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Talk:US History/World War II and Rise of Atomic Age

Quality of whole "US History" book is so low that in my opinion it should be deleted, and started anew if someone feels like doing it right.

Anyway, partial list of mistakes in just this chapter:
 * After World War I, the Germans felt that they had been treated unfairly by being forced to pay reparations to the Allies. Taking advantage of German resentment for the Treaty of Versailles, Adolf Hitler and his supporters attempted to stir up rebellion in 1923. Hitler failed and was sentenced to prison for treason.

It wasn't about having to pay reparations – the existence of reparations was agreed in armistice negotiations. The reparations in Treaty of Versailles far exceeded those agreed during those negotiations and those that were possible to be actually paid. The treaty contained many other points which tried to damage Germany beyond what was usual practice of the time. It has been analyzed many time, including the famous analysis of Keynes, so I'm not going to repeat that here. And in any case – not that was the direct reason of the putsch.

Direct cause of the Beer Hall Putsch were domestic, with change of policy of the central government under new chancellor. The putsch was also only one of many revolts that took place in Germany in years following the war. It wasn't largest, or special in any way except for involving Adolf Hitler.

 * However, in 1928, a freed Hitler's Nazi Party stood for election,

Hitler was freed much earlier - in 1924.

 * Jews and opponents of the Nazi Party were sent to concentration camps, where they were tortured or killed.

You're confusing concentration camps with death camps. Mass killings in death camps didn't start till much later – early 1942.

 * Hitler contended that Germans belonged to a race superior to other races, thus, in the minds of many German people, justifying the Holocaust, the killing and torture of Jews.

"Killing and torture" of the Jews didn't start until much later.

 * Hitler had no intention of keeping his agreement. In 1939, he took over the remainder of Czechoslovakia and turned his sights to Poland. France and the United Kingdom agreed to come to Poland's aid, but Germany signed the Nazi-Soviet Pact, which ensured the neutrality of the Soviet Union (formerly Russia).

 * On the first day of September in 1939, Germany declared war on Poland; the British and French responded by declaring war on Germany two days later.

 * The Germans used the tactic of blitzkrieg (lightning war) in Poland, defeating the Polish Army at lightning speed. By the end of the first week of October, the Germans had gained control of all of Poland. The British and French had done little to aid Poland, fearing a repeat of the First World War.

This is not a mistake – I'm sure it's a deliberate lie by the author. The pact didn't ensure neutrality of the Soviet Union, it ensured full cooperation between Germany and the Soviet Union and it divided Central Europe between the two.

Not saying a word about Soviet involvement in attack on Poland and saying instead that "Germans had gained control of all of Poland" (while about half of it was occupied by the Soviets, not Germans) just confirms my suspicions that it wasn't just a mistake.

 * Hitler's Germany was the supreme power on Continental Europe. Only the United Kingdom offered resistance.

Soviet Union's existence isn't even acknowledged. In fact the Soviet Union was the main potential danger for Germany (with which it tried to deal with preemptive strike), not Britain.

 * The Yalta conference suggested the division of Germany into "zones" after the war for the purpose of reconstruction. Also, the leaders decided to punish Nazis who had participated in war crimes such as the Holocaust.

The main issue wasn't division of Germany, and certainly not the fate of German leadership, but the division of power in Central Europe.

Claiming that the zones were meant for "reconstruction" is also highly inaccurate – at least the Soviets had no reconstruction in mind and used their zone first to take everything that was possible to be taken, and later to establish a Communist state there.

In addition to these and other inaccuracies and deliberate lies, there are many important omissions, for example of all the Soviet and Allied war crimes. The chapter presents picture of the World War II, which is neither accurate nor neutral. Taw 01:15, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

VfD discussion

 * US_History/Contents/World_War_II_and_Rise_of_Atomic_Age, and probably other US_History modules. I explained the problems with that module in its talk page, but nobody bothered to either answer or to correct the problems. Taw 03:17, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Just edit the page! Minor errors, like dates, can be changed easily. If there is a big problem, don't worry about it, just edit the page. It definitely shouldn't be deleted because it has content that isn't entirely wrong or rubbish. If it's as bad as you say it is, just edit the page. - SamE 03:47, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Minor errors ? That module consists almost only of errors, half-truths and plain lies. Taw 04:55, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Then rewrite the page! - SamE 14:12, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Still a mess
I agree with User:Taw that this chapter is quite a mess. I am going to make some dramatic attempts to re-organize how the chapter should be designed. Currently, it reads more like a History of Germany than an American History of World War II. - Thekohser (talk) 14:34, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Introduction to Bible Translation

Considering the source language
The starting point for translating the Bible must be the the language in which the Bible was originally written. For the Old Testament, this is mostly Hebrew though a few parts (mostly in the Book of Daniel) are in Aramaic. For the New Testament, nearly all scholars agree that the original language was Greek, though a few claim that all or some parts were originally in Aramaic.

For hundreds of years, Latin (and the Latin Vulgate) was considered the sacred text for Christians (and later Catholics). It was forbidden to translate the Hebrew or Greek, or produce a Bible in any other language. The implications are staggering - it could be that since Latin is a translation of the Hebrew, Aramaic or Greek, there would be many hundreds of errors and mistakes that could occur. For example, there is no copula (definite article) in Latin. There is in Greek and Hebrew and this would make a tremendous difference in translating the text.

There is no question that in order to translate correctly, one has to be knowledgeable in the source language. Some might argue that one has to be fluent in the source language. This is obvious. If one does not know the language one is translating from, it will be difficult to obtain an accurate translation.

Considering the canon of the Bible
As important as the text is deciding the canon of the Bible, namely which books are in the Bible. Jews reject the New Testament. Most Protestants include in the Old Testament only those books accepted by Jews. However, the Roman Catholic and many other churches accept additional books, corresponding roughly to the Apocrypha found in many editions of Protestant bibles.

Considering the quality of the text
It may be that we do not have the original text of the Bible as it left the hands of the people who originally wrote it. Over thousands of years, errors and even deliberate alterations could have crept in. This issue is addressed in Textual Criticism of the Bible.

Considering the translation language
Many agree that one has to be fluent in the language one is translating to. Subtleties and differences in style can radically alter meaning. For example. In English, there is only one word for a sheep. In Biblical Hebrew there are at least two: כבש and שה. In Hebrew, a flock of Sheep is a צאן but this can also mean sheep (singular). To capture this, one has to be aware that in English there is no distinction in types of sheep; a female lamb is no different from a male lamb with the designation: "lamb". In Hebrew שה can be either gender, and כבש is only masculine.

The word נערה could mean young maiden. She could be under 12 years of age, or she could be in her teens. In English, a young maiden usually refers to a woman of marriageable age (around 16-30), who is not married, but is eligible. In Hebrew נערה can be used for a young girl between 9 and 12 and a young maiden between 16 and 20. (These numbers are approximate). If one translates therefore, the word נערה as young maiden, you are excluding the definition of a young girl. If you translate the word as girl, you exclude the definition of young maiden.

Audience
As with all translation, identifying audience is of fundamental importance when choosing translation. For example. English Christian missionaries had a very difficult time teaching people the King James Version of the bible in colonial Africa, precisely because the inhabitants of the land were not fluent in English, and did not have enough grammatical and vocabulary skills to understand the subtleties of King James English.

For this reason, many people adopted other translations that had a less extensive vocabulary, and explained concepts for people who were unaware of these. The Bible in Basic English is one of these translations that has a similar 'audience'. The Jerusalem Bible written by French Catholics in Jerusalem, and translated into English and published in 1966, served the needs of a French-speaking, and English-speaking Catholic audience. Their bible includes the Apocrypha, which is accepted as part of the Canon by Catholics.

The Artscroll Stone edition is a translation aimed at religious Jews. The translation itself is American-English, and tends to follow the standard Jewish commentaries (such as Rabbi Shlomo ben Yitzchaki) in its approach to understanding difficult passages. It includes a Hebrew text on the facing page.

When approaching Bible Translations, the first step is to identify who the translators identified as an audience. The King James Version of the Bible (with numerous revisions made until about 1769) focussed on an Anglican English population, who would keep their bibles at home. Hence, the translation uses English from that period, and the size of the volume is compact. Its translation is also Christian, and does not appeal to a Jewish Audience.

Using other sources
Bible Translation is unique in that the translator could be a religious individual, and would therefore change his outlook and translation methods, that would not necessarily apply in other works. A Christian translator understands that this is the word of God, but may sacrifice meaning for support in the text for Jesus. An orthodox Jew understands that the text is the word of G-d, and will resort to classical Jewish sources for understanding difficult passages. A secular scholar will use sources such as Ugaritic, and other ANE or Semitic languages, to help understand the text. This is also dependent on audience.

Illustrative translation
The subject is being illustrated by the linked project A Translation of the Bible.

Kusado Sengen

Kusado Sengen (草戸千軒) is the name of a medieval town in Japan. It is located near the Ashida River in present-day Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture. Investigators believe that Kusado Sengen was a minor commercial port town on the Seto Inland Sea during the Kamakura and Muromachi periods. Exhibits and a reconstruction may be found at the Hiroshima Prefectural Museum of History.

Discovery
Kusado Sengen was discovered in 1961 when a large quantity of pottery, porcelain and gravestones were discovered while attempting to re-route the Ashida River. Many historians believed that it was the site of a medieval town named Kusado Sengen. Excavation was not carried out, and the site was buried by a sandbank in the re-routed river.

Excavation
Excavation of the site was started in 1961 by the Fukuyama Municipal Board of Education. Several items dating back to the Kamakura and Muromachi Periods were found, and it became obvious that the site was indeed Kusado Sengen. The Ministry of Construction planned river improvements and the construction of a dam. These plans caused the possibility that the sandbank on which the site was located might be destroyed or completely submerged. Serious and long-term investigations therefore became urgently necessary. Accordingly, the Hiroshima Prefectural Institute for the Kusado Sengen-cho Site Investigations was founded in 1973 as a research unit within the Hiroshima Prefectural Board of Education.

Many of the finds from the site that have been excavated are waterlogged and reasonably well preserved. Finds include wells, pits for garbage dumping, ditches, ponds, graves, and a wide range of objects such as pottery, wooden objects, stone objects, metal objects, bone tools, fabrics, and organic remains.

Pottery was very common amongst the finds at the site, the most common being earthenware. A great deal of imported pottery from Vietnam, Korea and China was found with it.

Many kinds of wooden objects were discovered. The majority of them were for daily activities such as eating and storage.

Lacquer ware bowls and dishes are regarded as common tableware in the town. These are believed to have been produced in the town, since a lot of lacquering tools were excavated from the site. On many of the lacquer vessels there are designs of living things such as birds and plants.

Other finds include coins and carpenters' tools.

Stafford Smythe

Conn Stafford Smythe (March 15, 1921 – October 13, 1971) was the son of Conn Smythe and president of Maple Leaf Gardens Ltd. and the Toronto Maple Leafs hockey team from 1961–1969 and from 1970 until his death.

Early years
Born in Toronto, Smythe played hockey for Upper Canada College and Runnymede Collegiate Institute in the 1930s and then went to the University of Toronto where he graduated with an engineering degree. He played one season with the Varsity Blues men's ice hockey team. In the 1940–41 season, he briefly played with the Toronto Marlboros, managed by Harold Ballard, whom Smythe had known since he was a young boy.

Smythe enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy during World War II. After the war, he became a partner in his father's gravel business. In the late 1940s, he was hired as coach of the Marlboros by Ballard, the team president. Smythe was later promoted to managing director.

Managing the Maple Leafs
In March 1957, Smythe became chairman of a seven-person committee appointed by his father to run hockey operations for the Leafs. He had been a critic of assistant general manager Hap Day, who had run the Leafs' hockey operations from 1955 to 1957 while Conn Smythe retained the title of general manager. Stafford accused Day of mismanaging younger players, especially those coming up from the Marlboros, and of sticking with an outdated defensive style of hockey. Smythe's committee became known as the Silver Seven. Initially, all members were in their 30s or early 40s, but before the end of the year, 54-year-old Ballard was appointed to the committee to fill a vacancy.

The committee hired Howie Meeker as general manager, but fired him before the start of the season, leaving the Leafs without a general manager for the 1957–58 season. Smythe, as committee chairman, was effectively the team's general manager that year. In 1958, they hired Punch Imlach to run hockey operations while the committee focused on the business side.

Stafford frequently clashed with his father over the next few years. However, in November 1961, along with partners Ballard and John Bassett—both members of the Silver Seven—Stafford Smythe bought control of the Maple Leafs from his father, paying $2.3 million for 45,000 of his father's 50,000 shares. Conn later claimed that he believed he was only selling the team to his son, but it is not likely that Stafford would have been able to raise the money on his own. Stafford succeeded his father as president of Maple Leaf Gardens and governor of the Maple Leafs. Ballard, who had fronted most of the purchase money, became executive vice-president and alternate governor. Bassett became vice-chairman of the Gardens board of directors.

The Leafs, who had gone 11 years without winning a Stanley Cup, won the trophy four times in their first six seasons under the new owners. Profitability was increased through expanded seating capacity at Maple Leaf Gardens and the sale of advertising to sponsors throughout the building. Stafford Smythe name appears on the Stanley Cup 5 times - 1932 (as Mascot), 1962, 1963, 1964, 1967 (as President) all with Toronto. In 1932 Smythe became youngest person engraved on the Stanley Cup at age 11.

Scandal and arrest
Following an RCMP raid at the Gardens in 1968, Smythe was charged with income tax evasion and accused, along with Ballard, of illegally taking money from Maple Leaf Gardens Ltd. to pay for renovations of their houses and other personal expenses.

Just before the charges were laid, Bassett, who had succeeded Conn Smythe as chairman of the board in 1962, argued to the board that Smythe and Ballard should be removed from their posts. Following an 8–7 vote of the board of directors on June 26, 1969; Smythe and Ballard were both fired, and Bassett was appointed president of the Gardens. The move came just a couple of months after Smythe had fired Imlach after an unimpressive season from the Leafs.

However, Bassett did not force Smythe and Ballard to sell their shares, and both men remained on the board. This proved to be a serious strategic blunder; Smythe was the largest single shareholder in Maple Leaf Gardens, and he and Ballard controlled almost half the company's stock between them. They were thus able to stage a proxy war and regain control of the board in 1970. Smythe was once again appointed president. Facing an untenable situation, Bassett sold his shares in the Gardens to Smythe and Ballard for $6 million in 1971. Ballard would be convicted of tax evasion, but Smythe died of a bleeding ulcer at age 50 just before his trial was scheduled to begin. Ballard took control of the Leafs in 1972, winning a battle with members of Smythe's family for ownership of Smythe's shares.

The Stafford Smythe Memorial Trophy, awarded annually to the MVP of the Memorial Cup tournament, is named in his honour.

Devonshire Arms Hotel, Fitzroy

The Devonshire Arms Hotel is a former pub located at 38 Fitzroy Street, Fitzroy, in the state of Victoria, Australia. It operated as a hotel from 1843 to 1920. It is Fitzroy's oldest surviving building and Melbourne's oldest known extant hotel.

The Devonshire Arms Hotel opened in 1843. The hotel was erected and owned for 50 years by local entrepreneur Francis Clark. Clark had arrived in Melbourne in 1840, and became manager of James Palmer's lemonade and soda factory. He opened a butcher's shop near the corner of Bourke Street and Elizabeth Street in 1845, and later another shop in Richmond. He bought speculative property around Fitzroy and Alphington, and lived a prosperous life. Although he hailed from Essex, the hotel was given the name Devonshire Arms, owing to the pre-goldrush population of the area being principally from the south-west of England.

It was one of 27 Melbourne hotels forced to close by a July 1920 meeting of the Licensing Reduction Board, formally being delicensed in December that year. The building was raided by police in January 1921, who seized alcohol and laid charges for selling liquor without a license, but the charges were dismissed. The building later operated as a hostel.

The building is now part of St Vincent's Hospital, housing the hospital's Department of Addiction Medicine.

The site is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register and is included a Heritage Overlay.

Merrill Hall

Merrill Hall, located at Main and Academy Streets in Farmington, Maine, is the oldest building on the campus of the University of Maine at Farmington. It was designed by George M. Coombs of Lewiston and built in 1898, replacing the school's original 1864 building, but includes an ell dating to 1888. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It currently houses administrative offices of the university.

Architecture and history
Merrill Hall is set on a rise facing Farmington's Main Street to the west, just south of the town's central business district. It is a Romanesque Revival building 2-1/2 stories in height, constructed of brick with granite and wood trim. Its main facade is asymmetrically arranged, with a low round tower to the right, and a taller square tower to the left, the latter topped by a belfry and octagonal bellcast roof. The main entrance lies between them sheltered by a deep porch with three round arches. To the rear of the building is an attached 2-1/2 story brick ell, which predates the construction of the main block.

The University of Maine at Farmington was established as the "Western State Normal School" in 1864 as the state's first publicly funded normal school. It was originally housed in the old wood-frame Farmington Academy building, to which the present rear ell was added in 1888. Demand for space and the deteriorating condition of the old academy building prompted its demolition in 1897, followed by the construction of the main building in 1898. The architect was George M. Coombs of Lewiston, a prominent architect who also designed many buildings in downtown Farmingtion and elsewhere in Maine.

The normal school was formally merged into the University of Maine system in 1971. Merrill Hall now houses space for the performing and visual arts.
