I don't agree. For a start:
 * The are a lot of short paragraphs, mostly three sentences long; and single paragraph sections /subsections.
 * There are "direct quotations" with no citations, for example: two in History, the first paragraph in Development, several in Release channels and updates, one in Retina screen support, two in Usage,
 * Ref 226 is using wikipedia as a reference.
 * Some of the references are blogs, which brings into question as to whether they are WP:RS, arguably some are as they are official company blogs, but are all of them reliable?
 * Its already stated above that there are references with missing published, some of them have named authors and those are missing as well, for example 17, 40, 46, etc.

London Fringe Theatre Festival (Ontario)

The London Fringe Theatre Festival is a Canadian annual fringe theatre and related arts festival in London, Ontario. It is credited with triggering a resurgence in local playwriting and performance after the University of Western Ontario cancelled its drama program.

The first festival was presented in 2000, comprising 28 local, national, and international productions over a ten-day schedule. Prior to 2009 it began on the province's Civic holiday weekend, but was moved to the beginning of June to take advantage of the east-to-west circuit of the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals. By 2019, under the direction of executive producer and co-founder Kathy Navackas, the festival had grown to host over 50 productions and workshops.

The London Fringe Festival organization also sponsored and supported theatre- and arts-related events throughout the year, including a Nuit Blanche event and The Lost Soul Stroll, a historical ghost tour.

In 2020 the organization joined with London Community Players to form the Palace Theatre Arts Commons. After dismissing Navackas and its other staff, the Palace Theatre presented a small "Fringe Binge" festival in September 2021 featuring only three productions, chosen from local companies, and four curated musical acts.

To a large extent the Wikipedia texts are better than the Wikibooks texts on Cell biology. This is not to wonder about. The Wikipedia project has been going for much longer. The point is that there is a risk of effort spent on producing something that already exists.

We need to find a way to determine what it is that is needed in a textbook and is not expected to be found in Wikipedia and design a process that produces this as a complement to Wikipedia.

Jim Sandlak

James Sandlak, Jr. (born December 12, 1966) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player who spent 11 seasons in the National Hockey League and was known as "the House" due to his large stature.

Playing career
Sandlak played major junior with the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). Heading into the 1985 NHL Entry Draft he was regarded as one of the top-rated players for the draft. He was selected by the Vancouver Canucks with the fourth overall pick; at 6'4" and 220 lbs he was chosen to address the Canucks' desire for a big scoring forward. He confirmed this status with a dominant performance at the 1986 World Junior Championships, at which he was the captain of the Canadian team and was named the tournament's top forward. Convinced that Sandlak was a better prospect than the slow-developing Cam Neely (who played the same position and style), Canuck management decided that Neely was expendable, and dealt him to the Boston Bruins for Barry Pederson in what would later be labelled by many commentators as one of the worst trades ever made.

Sandlak had a solid rookie year in 1986–87, scoring 15 goals and being selected to the NHL All-Rookie Team. After a poor training camp in 1987, he was sent to the AHL, but responded well upon his recall, scoring 16 goals in 49 games. He scored 20 goals the following season, but continued to struggle with comparisons to the superstar Neely and frustrate fans and management alike with his inconsistency. By the 1990–91 season he was getting less ice time on the Canucks, scoring just 7 goals.

However, Sandlak rebounded in 1991–92 to play the best hockey of his career on a rejuvenated Canuck team. Playing largely with Sergio Momesso and Cliff Ronning (a line dubbed the "Twin Towers" due to Ronning's small stature accentuating the size of his two larger linemates), Sandlak matched his career high of 40 points despite missing almost 20 games due to injury. In the 1992 playoffs, Sandlak finally put his game together and looked like the power forward he was always supposed to be, as he was arguably the best player in Vancouver's opening-round victory against Winnipeg, and contributed 10 points in that playoffs while playing a dominant physical game.

However, just as Sandlak's career appeared headed in the right direction, injuries began to take their toll. His 1992–93 season was plagued by back problems which caused him to miss 25 games as well as most of the playoffs, and limited him to just 10 goals. Following the season, he was dealt to the Hartford Whalers as the future considerations in the Murray Craven trade. His two seasons with the Whalers were an absolute nightmare, however, as wrist, foot, knee, and heel injuries limited him to just 40 games and 8 points over that span. Released by the Whalers in 1995, he returned to Vancouver for the 1995–96 season, but again struggled with injuries (this time a stress fracture to a vertebra in his back) and his level of play had dropped off considerably. Following a failed tryout with Buffalo the following season he retired from the NHL, although he returned after a year off for a season in Germany before leaving the game for good.

Sandlak finished his career with totals of 110 goals and 229 points in 549 career games, along with 821 penalty minutes.

Awards and achievements

 * Named top forward at the 1986 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships
 * Won silver medal at 1986 World Junior Championships
 * Named to 1986–87 NHL All-Rookie Team

Coaching
Sandlak was an assistant coach with the Sarnia Sting of the OHL in 2007-2008.

Barnard Castle (UK Parliament constituency)

Barnard Castle was a county constituency centred on the town of Barnard Castle in County Durham, which returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It was created for the 1885 general election and abolished for the 1950 general election.

1885–1918

 * The Sessional Divisions of Barnard Castle and Staindrop, Stanhope (except the parishes of Hunstanworth and Edmondbyers) and Wolsingham, and part of the Sessional Division of Bishop Auckland.

''The constituency was created for the 1885 general election by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 as one of eight new single-member divisions of the county of Durham, replacing the two 2-member seats of North Durham and South Durham. See map on Vision of Britain website. ''

The seat was located in the west of County Durham, in North East England. To the north of the constituency (moving from west to east) were the Northumberland division of Hexham and then North West Durham. To the east (moving from north to south) were Mid Durham, Bishop Auckland and South East Durham. To the south was Richmond (Yorks). To the west of the constituency (moving from south to north) were the Westmorland divisions of Appleby and Kendal.

1918–1950

 * The Urban Districts of Barnard Castle and Stanhope;
 * the Rural Districts of Barnard Castle and Weardale; and
 * parts of the Rural Districts of Auckland and Lanchester.

''The constituency was expanded northwards, absorbing the western part of the abolished North West Durham seat (Lanchester). Crook and Tow Law were added to the new constituency of Spennymoor and a small area in the east was transferred to Bishop Auckland.''

Abolition
In 1950 the Barnard Castle urban and rural districts were included in the Bishop Auckland constituency. Other parts of the former constituency returned to the re-established North West Durham seat.

Spanish/Personal pronouns

Spanish has six different type of pronouns, the 1./2./3. person singular and the 1./2./3. person plural:

 * It is normal in Spanish to omit the personal pronoun (i.e. you seldom say yo estoy bien but estoy bien, and you ask ¿Cómo se llama? instead of ¿Cómo se llama usted?) because the specific conjugation of a verb usually indicates which person is the subject. However, usted, él and ella all use the same verb form so if you choose to drop the pronoun in this case it must be clear in the situational context which pronoun is being referenced.
 * As indicated above, in most of Spain the vosotros form can be used to address a group of familiar people (e.g. friends), and ustedes is used with more formality (e.g. recent acquaintances). In all Latin American countries and parts of Spain ustedes is used also for a familiar group of people; in these countries the "vosotros" form is almost never used.

Sehwan

Sehwan (سيوهڻ شريف; ; also commonly referred to as Sehwan Sharif or Noble Sehwan) is a historic city located in Jamshoro District of Sindh province in Pakistan situated on the west bank of the Indus River 80 mi north-west of Hyderabad. The city is renowned for being the home of one of Pakistan's most important Sufi shrines, the Shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar. The city also holds the status of taluka under the Jamshoro District. It was previously a part of the Dadu District; however, with the establishment of the Jamshoro District, Sehwan became linked with it.

Sehwan is among Pakistan's most significant spiritual centers, alongside other revered shrines like the Shrine of Abdullah Shah Ghazi in Karachi, the Data Durbar Complex in Lahore, Bari Imam in Noorpur Shehan near Islamabad, and the magnificent tombs of the Suhrawardi Sufis in Multan.

History
Sehwan is one of the most ancient places in Sindh. Some historians suggest that this town dates back to the period of Prophet Shees, son of Adam, hence it was named Sheestan, Sewistan and eventually Sehwan. Syed Muhibullah, the author of "A Brief History of Sind," notes that Sehwan was the name of the great-grandson of Ham (son of Noah). However, there are various other views about the nomenclature of Sehwan as well. William Dalrymple proposes that the name is derived from Shivistan, after Lord Shiva. Notable historian Molai Sheedai writes in his book "Tarikh-e-Tamadan-e-Sind" that Sehwan was built by the Sewi Aryas and was hence called Sewistan. Another view is that its name was Sindomana, a name well-mentioned in Greek literature. Sindhu-mán is a Sanskrit word that means "the possessor (the capital, or Raja) of Sindh," with which Sindhu-vàn is synonymous. The latter may have softened in common speech to the modern Seh-wan. Sindomana was the capital of King Sambos, who was defeated by Alexander in 326 BC. A large tell called Kafir Qila (castle of the pagans) is located to the north of the city.

Sehwan was conquered by Muhammad bin Qasim in 711 from the son of King Dahir, and three centuries later by Mahmud of Ghazni in 1026. In all subsequent dynastic struggles of Sindh, Sehwan continued to feature prominently. It was successively held by the Sumrahs, the Summas, the Arghuns, and the Tarkhans. During the Thatta Kingdom, it served as the capital. An abortive attempt was made by the Mughal emperor Humayun to capture it on his way to Umarkot in 1542, but it finally fell to his son Akbar in 1590s. After the Mughals, it was ruled by the Kalhoras and Talpurs.

Notable places
The city is renowned for its Sufi patron saint Lal Shahbaz Qalandar, who lived there in the 13th century. The Shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Additionally, the Shrine of Murshid Nadir Ali Shah, a notable spiritual descendant of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar is also located in Sehwan, where a large number of people are served free meals around the clock. Another famous place is the inverted city. Moreover, Manchar Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Pakistan, is located a short distance from Sehwan Sharif.

Economy
The economy of Sehwan Sharif encompasses a diverse range of sources of income and economic activities that sustain the local populace. Notable among these income sources are:

1. Agriculture: Agriculture is a foundational pillar of the local economy. Farmers in the region cultivate a variety of crops, including wheat, rice, cotton, sugarcane, and vegetables.

2. Livestock Farming: The livestock sector, encompassing cattle, goats, and poultry, significantly contributes to the economy. It generates income through the sale of dairy products, meat, and poultry.

3. Pilgrimage and Religious Tourism: Sehwan Sharif is renowned for hosting the shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar, a venerated Sufi saint. Pilgrims and tourists visit the shrine, and their donations, offerings, and patronage of local businesses collectively bolster the local economy.

4. Trade and Commerce: The town houses a bustling marketplace where a variety of goods are traded. Local businesses, including shops and markets, contribute to economic activity.

5. Handicrafts: Local artisans and craftsmen produce traditional Sindhi handicrafts, such as pottery, embroidered textiles, and jewelry, which find buyers locally and among tourists.

6. Transportation: Sehwan Sharif's strategic location as a transportation hub facilitates trade and transportation-related businesses.

7. Education and Services: Educational institutions, including schools and colleges, offer employment opportunities, while service-oriented enterprises cater to the needs of the community.

8. Government Employment: Government employment, comprising schools, healthcare facilities, and administrative offices, also serves as a significant source of livelihood for the local population.

The economy of Sehwan Sharif, like that of many regions, is marked by a fusion of traditional and contemporary sectors, evolving to meet the needs of its residents.

Incident
On 16 February 2017, a suicide bomber triggered an explosion at the Shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar, killing at least 83 people and injuring almost 250. The attack occurred during a praying session. The bombing took place at an 800 year old Shrine. Later the ISIS claimed responsibility for this terrorist attack stating that their 'martyr' had detonated a vest at the popular Shia gathering at the shrine.

Sehwan Sharif and its relation with Muhammad Bin Qasim and Sultan Mehmood Ghaznavi
Sehwan sharif was conquered by Muhammad bin Qasim when he came to Sindh in the year 711 A.D. After 200 years, Sultan Mahmood Ghaznavi again conquered it. On the way to Umerkot, the Mughal King Humayun attempted to conquer this city but he failed, later on his son Akbar conquered Sehwan Sharif.

The series stars Bobby Deol along with Aaditi Pohankar, Darshan Kumar, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Tushar Pandey, Anupriya Goenka, Adhyayan Suman, Vikram Kochhar, Esha Gupta, Tridha Choudhury, Rajeev Siddhartha, Sachin Shroff, Anurita Jha, Parinitaa Seth, Jahangir Khan, Kanupriya Gupta, Preeti Sood, Navdeep Tomar and Ayaan Aditya, in key roles. It is written by Madhvi Bhatt, Avinash Kumar, Sanjay Masoomm, Tejpal Singh Rawat and Kuldeep Ruhil. Its first season was made available for streaming on OTT platform MX Player for free from 28 August 2020.

The second season of the series was released on MX Player on 11 November 2020, with the third season following in June 2022, respectively. The series has been renewed for a fourth season in 2023.

Summary
The story revolves around a godman, Baba Nirala (Bobby Deol), whose followers (mostly from the disadvantaged sections of the society) have blind faith in him and will do anything that he asks of them. In reality, he is a conman who ensures that his devotees devote their wealth to him and stay attached to his ashram for life. Politicians Hukum Singh (Sachin Shroff) and incumbent CM Sundar Lal (Anil Rastogi) vie for Baba Nirala's support in the upcoming State Legislative Assembly Elections owing to his large number of followers for their vote bank politics, which only increase after a pop singer, Tinka Singh (Adhyayan Suman) decides to conduct tours with Baba Nirala to promote his new song.

Meanwhile, SI Ujagar Singh (Darshan Kumar) is a police officer who has little interest in his job and simply follows his seniors' orders, until he meets Dr. Natasha (Anupriya Goenka) in a case related to a skeleton found on the property of an industrial group which has good ties with Sundar Lal. Her constant pestering, along with the stubbornness of a small-time journalist Akhivendra Rathi alias Akki (Rajeev Siddhartha) encourages him to take up this case, along with his assistant senior constable Sadhu Sharma (Vikram Kocchar).

Release
Season 1 and Season 2 was made available for streaming from August 28, 2020 and November 11, 2020 respectively on OTT Platform MX Player. The series made its TV debut through The Q on October 11, 2021.

Critical reception
Writing for NDTV, Saibal Chatterjee rated the series 3 out of 5 adding that “Prakash Jha's digital debut is ambitious, provocative and action-packed.” He praised the performances of actors and concept handling from the director Prakash Jha. Rohan Nahaar of Hindustan Times wrote that Aashram is “a show that doesn’t have the courage of its convictions. The self-censorship of sex scenes is emblematic of the trepidation with which Jha approaches the story. As it turns out, that ridiculous disclaimer was utterly unnecessary.”

Controversies
In December 2020, Jodhpur Court had served a legal notice to Bobby Deol and director Prakash Jha after Karni Sena filed a case on the actor and the director for hurting their sentiments and stated that the show "is an attempt to discredit Hinduism and Ashrams". In October 2021, the Bajrang Dal group targeted Aashram web series sets and Prakash Jha for defaming Hindus and the entire aashram system, through his web series, whereas the sets were vandalised by the group. Director Prakash Jha stated that "They will voice their concerns, but I think about the thousands who see my project in the correct manner. It is no joke that 1.5 billion people watched it. If we say there will be no objection, it is not right. " Later, Bobby Deol supported Jha and stated that the show is not about defaming anyone and as an actor nothing else matters.

Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory/Introduction

Misconceptions about the meaning of quantum mechanics have persisted from its beginning up until the present among laypeople and physicists alike. Most physics textbooks on quantum mechanics and quantum field theory focus primarily on the mathematical formalism and only spend a couple of pages, if any, on the interpretation of quantum mechanics. Even the limited discussion of the interpretation of quantum mechanics is often presented in a confused muddled way. By constrast, most popularizing books for laypeople tend to oversensationalize and hype the "mysticalness" of quantum mechanics in imprecise language, leading to more confusion and misconceptions. In practice, most working physicists adopt a purely formal utilatarian use of quantum mechanics. They work with it mathematically to obtain mathematical results which they compare to experiments without thinking much about the meaning of what they are doing.

This book intends to correct the confusion and misconceptions about quantum mechanics by presenting a detailed analysis of the pros and cons of various popular interpretations and thought experiments and leave it to the reader to decide which interpretation is the most appealing.

Prior to 1925/1926, there was much confusion about the meaning and implications of quantum mechanics, leading to many radical claims. Even when the mathematical details of quantum mechanics had been worked out, there was still much confusion. It took a couple of years and many philosophical debates before an "orthodoxy" called the Copenhagen interpretation developed. Over the decades since then, gradually, more and more concepts have been clarified and newer interpretations have cropped up.

This book intends to study "problems" like measurement, quantum entanglement, causality, determinism/probabilistic, etc.

Computer reclamation project
Some efforts are underway to circumvent the dumping of discarded computers and peripherals into landfills. Many times, this equipment can be restored to working order at little or no cost using voluteer labor and open source software. The computers can then be donated for use by community groups, non-profits, schools or low-income families. Some Wikiverstans have discussed formalizing an action research project that will reflect on how this is being done around the world. One possibility that could lead to action is to form a "BLUG" (BSD/Linux User Group) at Wikiversity to advocate the use of open source in an organized effort to reclaim old computers. We would like to discuss the prospects here. Your thoughts are most welcome. CQ 16:43, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Variations on the PDCA cycle
Introduction

There are many variations on the basic working methodology of Action research and other schools of thought that aim to improve the outcomes of process and systems. This article looks at these variations and considers the circumstances in which selection of a specialized methodology may be useful.

As the article is the product of the Wiki Action Research Study Group associated with Areol 25 it contains a mixture of consensus and divergent views. Also it is a work in progress and will change from time to time. Major revisions are highlighted.

The PDCA cycle

Action research creates a reciprocal link between research and action, i.e. it uses the quintessential PDCA model:

 * PLAN

 * DO

 * CHECK

 * ACT.

In Action research there is also an emphasis on continuous 'reflection' but it is not unique in this.

The PDCA cycle is applied repeatedly and may be deployed concurrently so that different components of a system or process that is under study may be at different stages of the cycle at any time. Similarly different research projects related to these component parts may be at different stages at different times. Thus the analogy of a clock springs to mind - it is designed, built, tested, calibrated then does what it is wound to do.

Reflective spiral reflections
(Copied from User talk:Cormaggio/Archive 3)

"..I found the spiral extremely interesting; see, I'm a computer scientist, and the life cycle of a software product can be very well described by it in every scale. And it has nothing to do with comp. sci.! When I realized it could, in fact, be applied to (nearly?) every project we engage into, in our lives, it fascinated me, and I put it in a place where I will always have it present =).

Reflect, and plan, prior to act and then evaluate. With the detail that the evaluation must be done in the social context (not analysing the business in place, with interviews if necesary, is the doom of many software projects).

Another implication f the spiral: no reflexion allowed before having carried out the last plan and evaluated it: Many many software projects and solidarity projects I've known have become blocked in a vicious spiral of planing, then reflecting about the plan, then redoing a better plan, then reflecting on it, etc, so no action was ever taken! Action is the primary goal of any project: it must not be avoided, even if you don't know for sure it will be optimal. Furthermore, as I learned when programming mobile robots, there can be too many things in which your model of reality (the output of reflection) differs from reality, and you can only discover them by actually doing something and evaluating it.

And of course, no action allowed without a meditated plan! That's the main failure of novice programmers. Teachers insist: "design your solution! draw diagrams!" But as they've never faced complex problems, they cannot see a reason to do it. It's only when the problems become more and more complex (and in computer science complexity has no limit, since new solutions lie over previous ones), only then do they begin to appreciate the design (planning) step prior to programming (acting). Those who do not, or who never learned to design, cannot go past a level of complexity imposed by our own limited brain. Their programs are like big balls of spaguetti.

Reflection is compulsory between evaluating and planing: When a program becomes too complex for humans to work with it and improve it (normally as a result of an acumulation of lack of documenting), programmers begin solving each error by inserting a patch specific for that error. This action (which is, by the way, seldom documented) increases further the complexity of the program, leading it to an irremediable destiny of blockage: Errors which cannot be solved begin to manifest, and the program (yet possibly usable) cannot be improved anymore without dismantling it. What has been the problem? Planing directly from the evaluation (the observed behavior of the error), without reflecting until discovering the ultimate cause of the error and then reflecting about how that cause can be eliminated. This situation also happens often when the deadline for the delivery of the project is nearing, and problems must be fixed in the quickest way, rather than in the proper way. It's risky because you cannot know if (by doing this) the program will become too complex for you to resolve all problems before the deadline. But it must be done for the happiness of the client, your boss, and, ultimately, your wife.

Sorry for being so lengthy, but I wanted to share why I loved that spiral so much =)! --Jorge 00:29, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

A Beginner's Guide to Action Research
Elsewhere in these pages, my correspondents have expressed some confusion about Action Research as I propose to apply it to specific projects.

In response to their request to explain Action Research, I thought it best to put the explanation here, where it ties into the main learning resource on the topic.

Let's begin at the very beginning, with the English Wikipedia definition of Action Research:

Action research is a reflective process of progressive problem solving led by individuals working with others in teams or as part of a "community of practice" to improve the way they address issues and solve problems. Action research can also be undertaken by larger organizations or institutions, assisted or guided by professional researchers, with the aim of improving their strategies, practices, and knowledge of the environments within which they practice.

The first thing to note is that the enterprise is embedded in a "community of practice" where everyone is working cooperatively and collaboratively as a team with a common goal (e.g. improvement of a problematic situation). The problem-solving process includes all stakeholders.

Contrast that with "Ivory Tower" research, where the researcher is distant and aloof from the subject of the research, intentionally minimizing the degree of contact or interference with the subject. A good example is traditional Cultural Anthropology where the researcher tries to minimize any perturbations of the culture being studied as a result of his or her presence. The opposite of "hands off" Anthropological study would be the religious zealot or missionary who actively tries to transform a culture without necessarily understanding or describing it scientifically, just the way it is. In Action Research, the researcher would be working cooperatively with the subjects to achieve a joint goal of solving the recognized problems of the community or system being studied.

Now let's drill down a notch and look at the definition on the main page here.

Action research is essentially research through action. It is usually a collaborative activity — involving input from people who are likely to be affected by the research — but this is not strictly necessary. Action research is about changing an environment, system, or practice, and learning about this context through changing it. To quote action research's instigator Kurt Lewin: "If you want truly to understand something, try to change it." This kind of work is not simply about changing, but also improving an environment. As John Elliott says, action research is “the study of a social situation with a view to improving the quality of action within it” (Elliott, p. 69).

So the "action" part means that the system being studied is (hopefully) going to be improved in the process, and this improvement is an express goal. Moreover the "inhabitants" of the system embrace this goal and cooperate and collaborate in the enterprise (or at least don't fight against it). In medicine, the doctor tries to recruit the cooperation of the patient as much as possible, but if the patient is too weak, the doctor proceeds unilaterally.

When I was studying Systems Theory at Stanford, there was yet another name for this kind of research. There (and elsewhere in management literature) it's called Operations Research. In the case of Operations Research, the subject is usually an organization or a business. The business operations are studied with a view toward improving them (or even optimizing them, if possible).

Here is yet another definition, from a seminal 1981 paper by my neighbor, Jerry Pine, who just retired as Dean of the Boston College School of Education:

As a collaborative process, action research begins when educational researchers, university faculty, and teachers assist each other in developing the skills to identify and conceptualize problems. The fundamental principle of collaborative research is that the research process is based on a system of discussion, investigation, and analysis in which the researched are as as much a part of the process as the researcher. Teachers, working with researchers in school situations, are in a position to observe and document actual life situations. A proposal is made for the formation of a collaborative action research team, consisting of undergraduate education students, interns, classroom teachers, and university faculty. An exploration of the research potential open to this team is made.

Clearly there are degrees of cooperation and participation which vary with the level of energy, enthusiasm, and trust. Spiritual torpor, cynicism, and wariness can become serious obstacles that undermine the teamwork in a project employing Action Research. Sometimes a leader has to carry the ball a long ways unassisted before the flagging spirits of others are revived. From this observation comes the admonition, "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem."

In Action Research, the goal is to empower every stakeholder to be part of the solution.

Moulton 21:59, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

 * This is great - so why leave it to the backwater of a talk page? :-) I think this could be incorporated into the resource page, or perhaps a separate one more specifically targeted at your own 'audience', if you prefer... Cormaggio talk 12:44, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

 * By all means. I didn't want to just come galumphing in here like a swaggering know-it-all, since I'm hardly an expert on the subject of Action Research.  But my neighbor, Jerry Pine, is an expert on the subject.  His forthcoming book on Teacher Action Research, summarizing three decades of scholarly research on the subject, is coming out early next year.  Once he's done poring over the galley proofs, I hope he will pay a visit here and help us craft an up-to-date synopsis of the subject.  I saw him this morning, and he said he would send me some more carefully written definitions of the subject.  —Moulton 15:48, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Dealing with lost, reluctant, or recalcitrant "collaborators"
Occasionally someone shows up who acts like an anchor, a drag on progress. This might be a person who is uncomfortable if other members of the team are racing ahead. This might be the "I'm from Missouri" type who requires a demonstration of every concept, and who is skeptical of anything they don't yet fully understand.

For these individuals (and there will always be some), theory and analysis must give way at times to active demonstrations, ranging from multimedia skits and sketches to full blown psychodrama. I've never been a fan of psychodrama, but sometimes that's what it takes. I've occasionally seen a nominal "liminal social drama" morph into a lunatic psychodrama and then flower into something that would rival the Passion Story in terms of operatic depth and profundity. It's no accident that the original Passion Story involved the introduction of a New Covenant into the local culture.

Moulton 22:14, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Ha! Though perhaps it's not a bad thing to be "lost" — I actually use this as a means of learning on Wikiversity — to push people to come more clean about what they mean, to probe further into what our theoretical frameworks are for suggesting a line of action, etc etc. I don't think we should ever be aloof from what it feels like to be lost, and what being lost can do for the process of innovation... Cormaggio talk 12:44, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

 * The difficulty is leading others out of the woods when 1) one isn't entirely confidant which pathway is best, and 2) the others don't trust their would-be guide to successfully lead them out of the woody swamp into the clearing. Then one has to do something called "leading from behind" which is quite an art.  —Moulton 15:48, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

It is a nonsence
Action research is a nonsence. "Action research is about changing an environment, system, or practice, and learning about this context through changing it." It is a theory of a few people, but a bad theory. Show me some projects which were based on "action research". There are no projects, because the theory is a bad theory!--Juan 21:03, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Did you mean to say nonscience or nonsense? —Moulton 21:44, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Nonsense.--Juan 05:10, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

 * This is too simple, Juan. "Action research" is not nonsense - but it is a poor name for something important about collaborative editing environments and other evolving systems. --McCormack 21:34, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Well if it is a feedback, than it is not a nonsence. But the definition sounds horrible.--Juan 05:10, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

 * There are several definitions. Which definition do you not understand?  —Moulton 10:15, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

 * That one used in the summary of the page. But let me give some time, to penentrate inside a little bit Moulton.--Juan 16:32, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I would be careful, Juan, in concluding that everything Moulton has been saying and doing in the name of "action research" is a fair characterisation of it. I'm not saying that Moulton has not been doing action research - I'm saying that he has been unclear about how he is actually using it, and has been applying it in many ways that I think do not do it justice. I'm currently hoping to make this a little clearer, to push Moulton into specifying exactly how he intends to use action research - as well as to hopefully make it clearer through my own work. :-) However, if you have criticisms of what's on this page, I'd like to hear them - I don't think I've explained it well enough, as I've seen repeated statements of confusion about action research on Wikiversity. Cormaggio talk 09:06, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

 * I repeat myself: if action research is a feedback, than I know what is it and I am not longer saying it is a nonsence. Thats logic.--Juan 11:21, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Are you now satisfied and content with your level of apprehension and understanding of Action Research (both theory and practice), or do you have any remaining confusion or perplexity that you wish to clear up? —Moulton 14:39, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Practicum, Pragma or Praxis
I think of action research as applied science, math and social agency under the direction of an academic entity. However elitist or equitable the dominant group behaves, action research contributes to the body of knowledge curated by the social agency created through the eventual progress toward the stated goals of the group. An increase in collective intelligence demonstrates one possible goal of action research. I wouldn't discount such a goal as a means of revolutionary activity leading to a fully liberated institutional framework. Any well-formed program in action research filters out nonsense as it proceeds. See SYZYGY17 and Paducah2020 for examples of action research practicums. These are real-world community-development praxis geared toward high-level communicative action intended to increase the collective intelligence of the Central United States. Thank you for paying attention. CQ (discuss • contribs) 22:26, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Tredegar railway station

Tredegar railway station was a station on the Sirhowy Railway. It served the town of Tredegar. The station was near the southern edge of Bedwellty Park.

History
The station was opened on 19 June 1865 by the Sirhowy Railway after the conversion of the Sirhowy Tramroad to a standard gauge railway.

The line south from Tredegar closed to goods traffic on 30 April 1969,

Accidents
On 17 December 1902 a fatal accident occurred when a train from Tredegar to Nantybwch with 9 loaded coal wagons and a brake van was stopped on the incline of 1 in 42 near Nantybwch. The driver uncoupled the engine for adjustments; on recoupling he backed the engine on to the wagons, setting them in motion back down the hill until they reached Tredegar, about 1½ miles distant, where a disastrous collision occurred.

Present day
The route has been reused by the modern A4048 road;

De Roulet was appointed United States Ambassador to Jamaica by President Richard M. Nixon in August 1969, and presented his credentials on October 23, 1969. While serving as ambassador, he allegedly sought political contributions from American corporations for foreign elections; Alcoa gave these contributions to Jamaican officials. He left the post on July 18, 1973, when the Government of Jamaica declared him persona non grata; Michael Manley, the Prime Minister of Jamaica, requested that de Roulet be recalled after it was revealed that de Roulet suggested the United States Congress make a pre-election political deal before the 1972 Jamaican elections. He officially resigned in August.

During the hearings of the United States Senate Watergate Committee, it was alleged that de Roulet received an "express commitment" from the Nixon administration through Herbert W. Kalmbach, Nixon's personal lawyer, to receive a more prestigious ambassadorship in Europe in exchange for a campaign donation of $100,000 to Nixon's 1972 re-election campaign; de Roulet and Nixon both denied the charge.

Personal life
De Roulet married Lorinda de Roulet (née Payson), the daughter of Joan Whitney Payson and Charles Shipman Payson, in 1951. The couple had three children, daughters Whitney and Bebe, and son Daniel. De Roulet died in 1975 of a heart attack.

Tamil/History

History
Tamil's origins are independent of Sanskrit (which is from the Indo-European language family and the ancestor of many Indian languages), but it has borrowed a number of words from Sanskrit in recent centuries. The oldest Tamil text Tolkaappiyam is a grammar of Tamil.

Quite significantly for its age, Tamil seems to have undergone minimal changes and adaptations over the years. Classical Tamil is quite comprehensible to speakers of the modern language. The ancient Tamil book Tirukkural is an example. The verses from the book are often taught to young students of the language at the primary level, and they pick up the lines in the ancient dialect with little difficulty.
