Talk:Naagin (2015 TV series)/Archive 3

No Indic Script
I was recently informed that Indic script shouldn't be used in infobox or lead section of India related articles as per WP:NOINDICSCRIPT. I was asking if it applies here? I thought of being bold and doing it but nah talk pages are better. TryKid (talk) 12:39, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for asking! The only thing that I see that violates WP:NOINDICSCRIPT is the Hindi name for Naagin in the infobox, but if you want to remove that, I would say to go ahead and do so! Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 13:45, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * native_name was specifically added to Infobox television for the purpose for which it is being used in this article so I'm not sure whether WP:NOINDICSCRIPT actually applies here. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 13:56, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * , ; Before I do something I want everyone to be on board. So, we write native names on infoboxes if title cards use Indic script? If we do, I'll go ahead and inform and edit Chhoti Anandi to include it there too. So, everyone okay with that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TryKid (talk • contribs) 14:21, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I could go either way on this, so whichever way everyone else decides to go on this, I'll be fine with that. Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 14:23, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * and Your take on this topic??. Sid95Q (talk) 19:05, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I saw 's note on my talk page and I also got a ping here, so I'll reply here. According to WP:NOINDICSCRIPT there have been numerous discussions about the use of Indic scripts in general, and this RfC from about a year ago seemed to decide that we should exclude all Indic scripts from infoboxes. To address 's comment about native_name, Template talk:Infobox television/Archive 10 was the discussion, and I proposed the addition of that parameter to be consistent with what had been set up at Template:Infobox film. 's support of the parameter addition was contingent on the promise that the parameter didn't step on RfCs pertinent Indian articles, so that should be considered. Personally, had I known about the Infobox Indic script RfC, I would have !voted in favor of keeping the Indic scripts, because they do provide some benefit in case we were looking for references. But, a recurring issue in things-India-related, is that some people want to use opportunities like this to wedge their own ethnic identity into articles. Example: In a film produced by the Indian Hindi film industry that is simultaneously filmed in Tamil and Telugu, do we include all three scripts? What about dubs? I guess a lot of the folks who commented at that RfC felt that this sort of thing can be crufty, so we should also take that into consideration. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:10, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * , So, I think that if the show was produced in one language only (not counting dubs) and the title card is in that language, we should add native language. If no one has any problems, I'll go ahead and add native names in Chhoti Anandi, 21 Sarfarosh - Saragarhi 1897 and Swami Ramdev - Ek Sangharsh.TryKid (talk) 22:19, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Respectfully, I'm going to bow out of this discussion, as I could go either way on this issue. Noah Kastin (talk) (🖋) 23:02, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi, re: these changes, the BARC site only tracks information for the current week, which makes it impossible to verify any changes later on. Thus, the section will always fail WP:V. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:31, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

Bizarre editing that's led to recent page protection.
In these changes, why are you use braces {} all over the place as punctuation? That is never done in proper English sentence structure. Even if you were to more correctly use parentheses, we can't have giant blocks of text full of parentheticals. That just so sloppy. Parentheticals are supposed to represent whispers of information directed at the reader, like "Kumar appeared in the second season of Bigg Boss (2008)." But if you're describing major characteristics about someone, you're simply not going to be whispering that. In many of the changes you made, a simple comma would have solved the problem, since you apparently didn't like the dashes. For example: vs. The comma I added after Suri turns the statement into a properly constructed sentence.

It's also unclear to me why you're using the supremely obnoxious spelling of Ichchhadhaari vs. the less complicated Icchadhari, the latter of which seems more pronounceable by English-speaking readers. Since these are transliterations, there is some flexibility in how we present that content, but presenting it with weird consonant clusters like "chchh", which looks like it wants to be pronounced as two syllables, just creates confusion. Other bizarre changes: Why are you spelling Vikraant's name with two As? Where is that officially indicated as the preference for the character? Or for Rehaan, or for Yuvraaj or for Maahir or for Suhaani? Without references of any kind or explanations of any kind, this just seems like a personal artistic choice that you keep forcing into the article. I see numerous sources that prefer a single A spelling for Vikrant.. Your explanations are appreciated here. Thank you, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 14:57, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I have fixed the braces issue in these edits. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:17, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
 * If such is the case, I really appreciate your 'fuss' over the spelling of the transliteration 'Ichhadhari'. The way I spell it, is not at all 'supremely obnoxious', but directs the reader to understand how would he/ she pronounce it, had it been written in Hindi. As for the extra A's, they signify the transliteration of the Hindu names, as they are written in Hindi. Lastly, I would refrain from using '{' and '}' because addition of a comma seems to be more appropriate. FARAAZ.ALI.FAIZ (talk) 17:27, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Naagin (season-3) redirect removed
Per a user's help request, I have removed the redirect. I am not endorsing the material that the user may end up putting there, but rather giving them the opportunity to contribute to the encyclopedia. Striker force Talk 15:58, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

As on this wiki, my edit was reverted I would like to apologise for not following the consenus of this talk page. I was mearly follwing the example of the Simple English wiki version from which this was translated by myself PoliceSheep99 (talk) 16:20, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Prince Narula
Hi there, in this edit you restored Prince Narula to the cast list. In this version of the article's lead, we say that Narula has a cameo role. Cameo roles are not particularly noteworthy, although guest star roles might be. I see that you put him in the Recurring cast section. Does his character appear somewhat regularly? Thank you, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:19, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, his character has been in the show for over four episodes. So, that's more than a cameo. FARAAZ.ALI.FAIZ (talk) 17:10, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Great, thank you for responding. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:30, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Requested move 26 September 2018

The result of the move request was: Moved as per IJBall's last proposal. Other redirects can be created as appropriate. — Amakuru (talk) 20:25, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

– The 2015 Indian TV series article needs to be moved for necessary disambiguation from the 2017 Pakistani TV series article – as per WP:INCDAB, Naagin (TV series) needs to be redirected to Nagin. In addition, the article for the 2017 Pakistani TV series is just incorrectly disambiguated under WP:NCTV no matter how you slice it, so it needs to be moved. The article Naaginn also exists – I'm leaving that one out of this RM proposal, as per WP:SMALLDETAILS, but that one arguably should be disambiguated as well. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:18, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Naagin (TV series) → Naagin (Indian TV series)
 * Naagin (Geo Kahani) → Naagin (Pakistani TV series)
 * Support - This all seems reasonable. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 17:24, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Support but to Naagin (2015 Indian TV series) and move Naaginn to Naaginn (2007 Indian TV series) as नागिन is the same title and per WP:SMALLDETAILS is not consistently or significantly distinguished in third party WP:RS. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:47, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Unnecessary "double disambiguation" – the correct proposal for that would be Naagin (2015 TV series) and Naaginn (2007 TV series), while leaving the Naagin (Pakistani TV series) proposal as is. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:28, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
 * fine but create redirects for the double disambiguation to aid search engines. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:34, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Certainly – of course. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 12:20, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Support Per WP:PDAB.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 17:49, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Support - including the Naaginn move. Double disambiguate or year, both are fine by me. --Gonnym (talk) 19:22, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Support  Ravensfire  (talk) 02:43, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * To focus this, I'm going change to support:
 * Naagin (TV series) → Naagin (2015 TV series)
 * Naaginn → Naaginn (2007 TV series)
 * ...in addition to still supporting Naagin (Geo Kahani) → Naagin (Pakistani TV series). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:40, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

Misuse of italics and quotation marks
In these edits I removed a great deal of erroneously used italics and quotation marks. It was unclear why we had quotes around words like "king" and "prince". We don't normally wrap quotes around these words in English, and the use of the quotes just looks like we're being sarcastic. (See scare quotes.) Most of the quotes seemed arbitrary and incorrectly applied, so I removed them. There were some instances, like with Shivanya Singh "Suryavanshi" where it was unclear what was being expressed. Typically if you see a name with another name in quotes, it would suggest that it's a nickname, like English musician Ian Fraser "Lemmy" Kilmister. In this case I put the Suryavanshi between the Shivanya and Singh (as is typical for how we deal with nicknames) but it's not clear if that was the right thing to do in this particular case. What would really help is some further clarification in prose. If Suryavanshi is the name of a clan or something, then maybe the character should be indicated as Shivanya Singh, head of the Suryavanshi clan. But I don't know what the correct thing to do is, since I don't know anything about this series. Please avoid using bolded or italicised text arbitrarily. Neither should be used for emphasis. Though we normally use italics for non-English words, we're so heavily into in-universe descriptions, that I don't think we need them. It's no different than a show like The Transformers using made-up words like Cybertron or Decepticon and even using Latin words like Optimus. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:53, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
 * @ Cyphoidbomb : To explain the edits in article Naagin series, fistly Suryavanshi is a title signifying the clan of the character and not in his/her official name but often used after the surname "Singh". Also only the words of Indian/Hindi origin are qouted especially those which indicate a post e.g. "Takshak-Raj" indicates the post of the king of Takshak clan and used as a referral like one uses 'King' in King Philips say, and so Takshak-Raaj is not a nickname and to be used before the name Rocky, also since it's a post in Indian language it is quoted. Also the quoting of posts King and Prince aren't for sarcasm but to indicate the posts are not official but widely regarded by the subjects of that very King/Prince. Also Italics have only be used for Naagin which is an Indian word and not English like squirrel that it can be freely written (also haven't used quotation here not to confuse between a bestowed post like Naag-Rani and an identity like Naagin). Am I able to make it cleare to you? Was that sensible? Please reply since if I was able to make you understand I would like for you to undo your recent edits on the article. Thanking You, PentaETAD (talk) 17:53, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
 * (Note: the comment from PentaETAD above was originally posted on my talk page here, and its possible they didn't see my notes above before they left the comment. I pasted the note above because this was the best place to have the conversation.) Per my note above, italics aren't really warranted for naagin in this case, because we're so heavily describing in-universe content. The article would be needlessly burdened with italics if we were to italicise every non-English word. Similarly, the quotations are being widely misused. If a character is considered a king, then just call him a king. If he's not really a king, but everybody treats him like one, then maybe you need a different phrasing like "the de facto king of the ___ clan" or "acting king of ___". You do that once in their character description, then just refer to them by name. With something like Takshak-Raj, if that's not a nickname, but a title, then we need to be clearer about that. I'm going to make the change to "Rocky Singh, the Takshak-Raj (literally: king of the Takshak clan)". Remember that we are writing to a global English-speaking audience, not to Hindi-speakers, so clarity is important, and we are allowed to use complete sentences to communicate. I'm not sure what phrasing to use for Suryavanshi, but consider a phrasing like "Sivanya Singh, member of the Suryavanshi clan" or whatever their position/status/title is in that context. Just please avoid the use of quotation marks, italics and unnecessary parentheticals. Thank you, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:13, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Is using quotations for post that bad, I mean it's mostly applicable here so if we won't use them here for obvious titles, bestowed upon posts (of the real world or fictional) or a pseudonym (i.e. false identity), then where are we supposed to use them? Also, I totally agree with your reasoning for "Rocky Singh, the Takshak-Raj (literally: king of the Takshak clan)" and also seem to understand the Kin/ Prince. But I want to make one thing clear here the characters Ritik, Sangram, Yamini were shown as Prince, King and Princess repectively in flashbacks of Season 1, meaning they were rather the official ones, but in the past and as time moved on, they possibly dropped those royal titles with the declining monarchy/Zamindari; but again if we think from a logical point of view then the story is definitely based in the 21st century or in a broader sense in post-independence India, where the rule of govt. is applicable and titles of King etc. are just for name-sake. So, I felt like it was best to use King, Prince etc. in quotations. Also for Suryavanshi it's the title for the clan that was used after Singh as a part of the surname by the ancestors, but was implied to be dropped by the successors, though it is quite possible that by the end of season 1, when the lead Ritik discovers his true lineage he takes up Suryavanshi after Singh in his name again and hence his wife and daughter will also use Singh Suryavanshi in the surname. So if we don't quote Suryavanshi it is, I feel, definitely a part of the title, since the rival clan used the analogous word "Mahismati" as an official surname. Got the whole thing? PentaETAD (talk) 18:32, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

 * @ Cyphoidbomb (talk) : In the edit you have marked Cyphoidbomb I have used quotation marks for obvious positions (termed in Hindi). I f I am not using the quotation, won't it be confusing for the non-Indian readers who can't really make (I guess!) whether Naag-Rani or Naag-Pandit etc. is a part of the name or just a title, position etc. I guess Indian positions like that shouldn't be used in a similar manner like a name, official surname, title given, position, indianized job (as for example mantri for minister, pandit for a learned one, ved for doctor or Ayurvedic practitioneretc.) Also, the characters I mentioned are known by their positions and are not given any names in the show, so won't it sound like a character's name to a non-Hindi speaker while in actual it is not? I hope I was able to explain. Torterra Ketchum 5999 (talk) 18:48, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
 * The quotations don't explain anything. An English-only speaker is going to see those words and know that they don't recognise them. There's no need to decorate them with quote marks. If we are using non-English words, we should be sure to define them the first time we use them, like: "...and went to stay in protection of the Naag-Pandit (translation: the wise naag.)" or "...and went to stay in protection of the Naag-Pandit (literally: the wise serpent). You don't need quote marks in either of those scenarios. Frankly, I don't think you even need dashes between Naag and Pandit either, and I don't see why it should be capitalised since it's not a proper noun like a name, location or book title. But maybe we address one thing at a time. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:04, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Real esate
I'm not sure if I consider the bulk of this to be an improvement. We went from a somewhat bloated table to a pretty massive sprawl of information. Am I imagining that? Why isn't the entire list done in simpler bullet format? Why do we need subheadings? It all just seems to take up too much space. I'm also unclear on your strange assertion about capitalising nouns. We don't capitalise nouns in English, we capitalise proper nouns. And translations are not beholden to these rules. For instance, a film might be titled Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, but the translation of the title would correctly be written  "I found a treasure called love". Another example, "Boris Johnson is the prime minister of England" is correct. But we would call him "Prime Minister Boris Johnson" because in the latter construction, Prime Minister becomes his title, a proper noun. Similarly, if we are talking about a race of naag, then we would describe them as Naag, but generally we would describe them as naag, as it is not a proper noun. When we talk about dragons or jinn or goblins or giants or ghosts or snakes or elephants we don't capitalise any of them, since they are common nouns. So Mahanaagrani means "queen of serpents" (not capitalised). So, all in all, I think this content needs heavy review for proper English usage. I don't care if you want to take the reins on how this content is built, (I have no interest in the series) but it has to be built with some kind of coherent structure, adherence to English, and some goal of simplicity and ease of reading. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:09, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Naag - a male serpent
 * Naagin - a female serpent
 * Mahanaagrani - the serpent queen
 * Been - a type of wooden instrument played by charmers to control snakes. If naag and naagin hear the song, they will go crazy and be forced to show their true form.
 * Re: these changes, it may surprise you, but discussion is actually part of this community project. While I appreciate that you've tried to simplify some changes, leaving behind toothless declarations like the following have no impact on what other editors might choose to do:
 * "These words must be capitalised like the way they were officially used in the series, on television, promotions and newspapers by the show makers as nouns, and must not be written directly in English to avoid misunderstanding or confusion (This only applies for these special words in the series and have nothing to do with proper nouns or adherence to English)"
 * Your vision for what the article content should look like currently has no consensus and you don't get to unilaterally decide what capitalisation is appropriate or not. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:50, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

I've not decided anything, what change people decide to make is up to them, this is an open encyclopedia, that note is a short message for new registered members as they don't know about the talk page and who didn't follow the series to know how things worked on the series. I stay true to what the makers delivered as they capitalised those words because they wanted to avoid misunderstanding and confusing for audiences. The purpose of an encyclopedia is archived the truth, not to change the truth to fit into the rule. There are some exceptional cases when the rule should not apply as they bend the truth. Moderator and administrator have authority to make things fit in the rules, but they should be flexible to recognise when a rule doesn't fit the truth, make exceptional changes for the better, that proved they are human, not a robot. Bakwas Drama (talk) 08:44, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Uh, how does not observing normal standards of English make the encyclopedia better? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:43, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Honestly, those sections (translations and special terms) look just utter junk. They are terrible.  This is the English Wikipedia, the English terms/translations should be used in the article text (optionally with the Hindi term in parantheses after) adn the "special terms" spelled out as warranted in the actual plot description.  As it is, this article looks terrible.  I'm inclined to revert back to a version 7+ days ago before these massive and just terrible edits were made.  Ravensfire  (talk) 16:01, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Pseudoheadings in infobox
The pseudoheadings that were added into the infobox somewhere in this batch of edits are not consistent with Template:Infobox television guidelines or with normal community standards. There are innumerable series that have spanned multiple seasons and in none of them do we break down acting credits, writing credits, directorial credits in the infobox by season. If relevant, that content should be included in prose elsewhere in the article. I strongly recommend that anyone editing the infobox quickly read up on what our community standards are.

Copy edit of article
Hi! I noticed that there has been a lot of back-and-forth reverting of the article since my copyedit of the plot section. I can't speak to the other changes which followed, but my copy edit was in line with MOS:TVPLOT recommendations to keep plot summaries concise. Describing the plot in too much detail can make it a derivative work and raise copyright issues, and is incompatible with Wikipedia policy. It should be an encyclopaedic summary, and should serve to give context for other sections of the article (e.g.: development, writing, themes, production, etc.). Rather than reverting back and forth (which is known as edit warring), please discuss here why you think edits are an improvement or not. Thanks. – Reidgreg (talk) 15:35, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

Ratings references
Hi there, re: this edit, while well-meaning, you do know that http://www.barcindia.co.in/statistic.aspx as a reference, hidden or otherwise, is ultimately useless, right? The figures can only be verified the week they are added. If, in a month, someone wants to check those figures, they won't be able to find them. Since content at Wikipedia requires verifiability, do you have another idea for how this information can be supported? Otherwise the entire table is potentially subject to deletion.

 * when I'm adding this content
 * I'm finding also good reference that is not available that time. If I add content without a reference you guys keep posting why information is not verified? So,I add BARC reference,I also know that BARC reference is useless So what do i do then if I add don't add any references. Now I'm going to change the previous reference with good reference. Now I think you have to not delete the table. Unknownnreasonn (talk) 08:48, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

And the trp of the fifth season is not updated...the admin is not updating the same and blocking or denying others to edit the same...kindly look into it...thanks in advance Regards Saihere123554 (talk) 10:19, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * The article is protected because there are many editors who refuse to adhere to community guidelines for how an article should look, and instead want to cater it to some ignorantly-assembled, sloppy version that doesn't help readers who are interested in studying Indian television. The entire cast section, for instance, is an inconsistent mess of content that is not in line with WP:TVCAST. As for the TRPs, as I noted two sections above in Ratings references, the BARC source only provides the current week's ratings information, so historical data can't be verified unless an archive exists of that week's date, for example at Archive.org's Wayback Machine. As for the 5th season data, Wikipedia is a volunteer project, so if nobody has volunteered to add that data, it doesn't get added. But since reliable data is difficult to find, it wouldn't be an easy job to build out that section. If you want to give it a try, read our reliable sourcing guidelines and when your account becomes autoconfirmed, you will be able to edit the article.

Ok thank you so much...but as you see I could find some trp list of the third season...if I find Wikipedia's source is wrong am I allowed to edit?please let me know the same Regards.. Saihere123554 (talk) 17:04, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * It depends. Some of the content in the 3rd season is sourced. Just because you happen to find a source that might say that the number was higher or lower doesn't mean that the data is more accurate. We would also have to discuss the quality of the reference, since if the content came from someone's blog, that wouldn't be sufficient per WP:UGC. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:11, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Fine let me check twice and come to an end...thank you Saihere123554 (talk) 17:55, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Please change the line of marriage.They are in a live in relationship.Against the contemporary way of marrying in an auspicious place preferably a mandap or mandir,they were in an unknown hall with no one in presence.They circled under the Chandlier debris which cannot be considered as marriage.Veer put his own blood and a silver chain.This is not happening.Any other Serial is not mad who takes so much plots to make a marriage function like haldi, mehndi which shows the aan baan and shaan of a relationship.After being jealous of Jay,he brings the sindoor and wear it just like a normal thing.So they are not married.Such twists are given to increase trp Nothing more.Naagin series' should not change the values, custom not traditions.They are to be abided the way normal serials work.

Bani is not married to Veer.They were in a live in relationship.Veer used these sacred material Like Mangalsutra and sindoor to not go near Jay Madhur and stop her at his room and mansion.

There' was only a silver chain at the first day that he comes there.Then after so many episodes, suddenly out of nowhere, Veer makes Bani wear the Mangalsutra and sindoor at night.She is still Bani Sharma.

If Veer really liked, he would have proposed her and did a proper marriage because her family members were also there at the mansion but Veer kept her as a keeper.And no mahila morcha or people in that area protested.Maybe These people were hypnotised and no one asked how the marriage rook place.

The cast of season 5 is written as Bani Sharma as the wife of Veeranshu when the truth is, it was only a live in relationship. Jay Madhur was not tricking Bani when he reminded her to complete her revenge. In many episodes( not written in written update), there is no sign of marriage being done like vermilion and a nupital chain. In the episode of October 10 2020, we can see her not having vermilion and a nupital chain in the neck or forehead. Later, the makers release an update video saying she is Veer Singhania when there was no proper marriage. If it was a proper marriage, the pandit would say the marriage is complete not that she is his captive for the life. There was no pandit. There were rounds but without proper ornaments from the temple which is blessed and prayed, it is not complete. There was also no tieing the knot ceremony done by bride or groom's parents because none of her family memebers were present to take blessings after marriage.

The written update on 19th September 2020 clearly states there was no marriage. In place of vermlion, there is a black tilak and in place of nupital chain, there is a silver chain.

Out of nowhere, in October 10 2020 episode, Veer uses vermilion and a nupital chain so that he can stop her from going to Jay Madhur again which ofcourse doesn't work. Because until the episode of the entry and play of Farishta, she still goes to Jay Madhur for help. So she is just a keeper of Veer who is obsessed with her no matter what.

Merger Proposal
I propose that Naagin 6 should be merged to Naagin (2015 TV series) as I found it irrelevant for having a separate article for this particular season when no separate articles exists for all 5 previous seasons as well as spinoff season. I think the content in Naagin 6 can easily be explained in the context of Naagin (2015 TV series), and a merger would not cause any article-size or weighting problems in Naagin (2015 TV series).Pri2000 (talk) 20:10, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge yes. Articles like this, that were created by socks can even be deleted. Venkat TL (talk) 07:55, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge or Delete User:Pri2000 Glad you picked it. I look at both the pages, I don't think separate page is required. Also just extra section present is production, but the main article doesn't list the production information for any of the previous seasons. So if the community feel production section is not required so either merge or delete. Rest all the information is available on both the articles. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒ 📂) 12:56, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge: The page can be merged, but I suggest that after merge, this page should be moved to Naagin (Indian TV series) as it has different seasons released in different years. Btw, I'm Shinnosuke15, my username has been changed. Dora Shin 15 , 18:02, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to Naagin (Indian TV series). ManaliJain (talk) 03:53, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Requested move on 14 July 2022

The result of the move request was: no consensus. Seems to come down to personal preferences. One side agreed with the nom in not liking to disambiguate long-running series by first airing year, while the other side didn't find anything wrong and also wished to disambiguate against Naaginn (2007 TV series). (closed by non-admin page mover) — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 03:41, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

Naagin (2015 TV series) → Naagin (Indian TV series) – The series is no longer a 2015 TV series as it launched 6 seasons and 1 spin-off season since then. So I suggest it should be titled as Naagin (Indian TV series) instead of Naagin (2015 TV series) Pri2000 (talk) 10:04, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Move as per nomination. Thanks --C1K98V (💬 ✒ 📂) 12:54, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose for the reasons I gave at WP:RMT; per WP:NCTV the date in parenthesis only indicates premiere date, not the total run. So the current title isn't wrong in that regard. Additionally, I feel that the decision to disambiguate from the similarly named Naaginn (2007 TV series) remains valid. --Pokelova (talk) 12:55, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

 * oppose per WP:NCTVUK, as current title is WP:consistent with "Naaginn (2007 TV series)", Celia (2015 TV series), The Comedians (2015 TV series), Connected (2015 TV series), Empire (2015 TV series), The Odd Couple (2015 TV series) and many others. Most of these are multi season/year series. Changing the title of a TV series "because it has been running for more than an year" is not a valid argument. Also per Pokelova. —usernamekiran (talk) 14:09, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

I think the clean-up tag currently appearing on this page can be removed after somebody rephrases, " techno-hippies with suss. 1990s technoperson". I don't know what this phrase is supposed to mean.PKT 15:20, 11 August 2006 (UTC) i I agree that "suss" appears to make no sense. Perhaps the writer meant "sass" (cheeky attitude)? <IP_ADDRESS> 10:59, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

It's English slang, suss Verb. To work something out, to understand, to ascertain. Often followed by 'out'. Adj. Abb. of suspicious. E.g."I don't like the looks of that bloke, he's suss." sussed Adj. Knowledgeable, well-informed, able to look after oneself. see http://www.peevish.co.uk/slang/s.htm I take it as a noun, meaning to be well-informed, sophisticated and able to look after oneselfEthnopunk 12:08, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

This article is a mess
At best, it needs a full rewrite. more likely, it needs to be deleted. It's based on two references--one about India only, which is an Op/Ed piece and thus not reliable. The other in Wired is fine, but if it's the only reliable source, it's questionable.

===Facebook=== This article is the only GA about a website. Its 39kb; is that too long? It also needs a few more sources but other than that I'm trying to figure out what else to do with it. Any ideas concerning how to prepare the article for FAC would be greatly appreciated. — L 1AM (talk) 22:23, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Note: Because of its length, this peer review is not transcluded. It is still open and located at Wikipedia:Peer review/Degrassi: The Next Generation/archive1.

 * About the references, the external links in the references should be cited properly according to WP:CITE; Cite web might be useful here. Per WP:CONTEXT, only years with full dates (not just months) should be linked. Thanks, AndyZ 22:54, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the quick response Andy! I unlinked the incomplete dates. I'll try and start fixing the references when I have the chance. — L 1AM (talk) 23:43, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

 * And about the length of the article, while it isn't too long, I would suggest creating subpages, like History of Facebook, and then summarizing the content of those subarticles in the main article. AndyZ 22:56, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * On Feb. 15, I created Facebook's use in investigations as a child article. That took some of the listcruft out but I guess we should slim the main article even more. I've added the template for now. — L 1AM  (talk) 23:58, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and boldly created List of Facebook features. This has changed the main article from 40kb to 30kb. At this size I have removed the verylong template. I don't think the history section should be split off at this time. One problem with the splitting off of the features section was it removed three screenshots from the article. Hmm... — L 1AM (talk) 00:34, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I think it's pretty recent, but there's a new feature on Facebook called Flyers, where you can purchase flyers for a makeshift bulletin board. Similarly, you can also by adspace to promote events, you can list events, and there's even a March Madness Pool. Just some things I didn't see after I looked quickly. PJ 16:17, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, there is a little blurb about the Flyers in Facebook. (The Flyers used to be called "Announcements".) Events are discussed in a subpage at List of Facebook features. I don't think there is a mention of the March Madness Pool and I hesitate to add specific ad campaigns but feel free to if you think it should be included. Thanks for glancing it over though! — L 1AM (talk) 23:33, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

PHP Programming/PHP and MySQL

Introduction
Note: You should know SQL to use MySQL. You can learn that in the SQL book.

PHP integrates well with MySQL, and contains a library full of useful functions to help you use MySQL. There are even many database managers written in PHP.

MySQL is not a part of the server that runs PHP, it is a different server. MySQL is one of many database servers, it is open source and you can get it here.

As of PHP5, MySQLi integration is not enabled by default and you should add it manually, see here for installation instructions, PHP4 has it enabled by default.

Note: mysql_* functions are deprecated in PHP 5.6+ and removed in PHP7+. Use PDO or mysqli instead.

Let's get started!

Connecting to a MySQL server
To connect with a MySQL server, you should use the mysqli_connect function or mysqli class. It is used in the following manner:

mysqli_connect(servername, username, password,database);

servername - The name or address of the server. Usually 'localhost'. username, password - The username and password used to login to the server.

database - The database name you want to select. It's optional.

Multiple MySQL connections
Though not commonly used, you can connect to more than one database server in one script. On a successful connection, mysqli_connect returns a reference to the server, which you can capture with a variable:

$con = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "123"); $con2 = mysqli_connect("http://www.example.com/", "root", "123");

Selecting your database
In order to perform most actions(except for creating, dropping and listing databases, of course), you must select a database. To do so, use mysqli_select_db only if you didn't defined it in mysqli_connect.

mysqli_select_db(db_name);

Where db_name is the database name.

By default, mysqli_select_db will try to select the database on the last mySQL connection opened. So in the following code, mysqli_select_db will try to select the database on the "example.com" server.

$con = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "123"); $con2 = mysqli_connect("example.com:3306", "root", "123"); mysqli_select_db("database1");

The function takes a second, optional, parameter that you can use to select a different database then the one last opened:

$con = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "123"); $con2 = mysqli_connect("example.com:3306", "root", "123"); mysqli_select_db("database1", $con);

Executing a query
To execute a query, use mysqli_query. For example:

mysqli_query($con,"UPDATE table1 SET column1='value1', column2='value2' WHERE column3='value3'");

Important: mysqli_query returns a resource link which you will need for certain operations. So you should capture it by storing the result in a variable:

$query1 = mysqli_query($con,"UPDATE table1 SET column1='value1', column2='value2' WHERE column3='value3'");

Functions for SELECT queries
Executing a SELECT query is all good and well, but just sometimes, we may want the result (people are strange like that). The PHP developers are those strange people, and they added to PHP a few functions to help up with that:

mysqli_fetch_row
Returns the next row in the result. It is returned as an array, so you should capture it in a variable.

For example:

$query1 = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT id, name, address FROM phone_book"); $person = mysqli_fetch_row($query1); print_r($person);

This should output something like this:

Array {    [0] => 1     [1] => Sharon [2] => Helm, 3 }

This function will always return the next row in the result, until eventually it runs out of rows and it returns false. A very common use of this function is with a while loop, for example:

$query1 = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT id, name, address FROM phone_book"); while($person = mysqli_fetch_row($query1)) {     print_r($person); echo "\n"; }

This should output something like this:

Array {    [0] => 1     [1] => Sharon [2] => Helm, 3 } Array {    [0] => 2     [1] => Adam [2] => 23rd street, 5 } Array {    [0] => 3     [1] => Jane [2] => Unknown }

mysqli_fetch_array
This one does exactly what mysqli_fetch_row does, except for the fact it returns an associative array.

$query1 = mysqli_query($conn,"SELECT id, name, address FROM phone_book"); $person = mysqli_fetch_array($con,$query1); print_r($person);

Should output something like this:

Array {    [id] => 1 [name] => Sharon [address] => Helm, 3 }

mysqli_num_rows
Sometimes we want to know how many rows we get in the result of a query. This can be done by something like this:

$counter = 0; $query1 = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT id, name, address FROM phone_book"); while(mysqli_fetch_row($query1)) {    $counter++; }

$counter now stores the amount of rows we got from the query, but PHP has a special function to handle this:

$query1 = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT id, name, address FROM phone_book"); $counter = mysqli_num_rows($query1);

$counter stores the same value, but wasn't that easier?

Functions for other queries
The following functions are not just for SELECT queries, but for many types of queries. Those queries can be useful in many cases.

mysqli_info
Will return information about the last query executed, or about the query you send it a resource of:

mysqli_info;   //For the last query executed mysql_info($query); //For $query, what ever that is...

The information is returned as string, and though it's templated, it's not normally to be analyzed by the script, but to be used in output.

mysqli_affected_rows
Returns the number of rows affected by a query, only works with INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE queries:

mysqli_affected_rows;      //For the last query executed mysqli_affected_rows($query); //For $query, what ever that is

mysqli_insert_id
Returns the id mysql assigned to the auto_increment column of the table after an INSERT query.

$result = mysqli_query($con,"INSERT 'Bob' INTO names(firstname)"); $new_id = mysqli_insert_id;

''Note: You should call mysqli_insert_id straight after performing the query. If another statement is issued in between mysqli_insert_id will return NULL!''

Closing a connection
You should use mysqli_close to close a mySQL connection. This would typically close the last connection opened, but, of course, you can send it a connection identifier.

mysqli_close; //Close the last connection opened mysqli_close($con); //Close connection $con

Talk:Kapaau, Hawaii

When I was in Hawaii I was told this was a private island, not accessible to the general public. Is this true? And if it is, could you explain who lives there and why. (I was given an explanation but I would like to verify it.) Mattisse(talk) 13:45, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Okina in name
Regarding this edit "Don't use non-English characters in English text", the okina is used in accepted english text for both place names and words, eg aa lava. FYI- the Okina is recognized as an accepted letter in over 5000 articles. Further, dictionaries and US Federal and state governments recognize the Okina as an acceptable character in usage in the English language. Besides Polynesian place names, celestial bodies have names with the okina eg. Hi'iaka (moon). The okina is a letter that removes confusion (eg. is aa a typo? How is it pronounced? Which place is being refered to, the one with the okina or without?)  For this reason, Wikipedia has     The issue of the okina's use in articles is being discussed at Template talk:Okina.

Please provide a rationale for why this article should depart from the norm of other Hawaii location articles. -J JMesserly (talk) 16:43, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The Hawaii wikiproject has opposed its use in articles across the spectrum. Look at the reason that this article isn't named "Kapa'au, Hawai'i" as it used to be.  I'm simply following what has generally been used by this project; take it up there with them.  Nyttend (talk) 19:17, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * On the contrary, please refer to MOS:HAWAII: "Use of the kahakō and ʻokina, as used in current standard Hawaiian orthography, is preferred in Hawaiian language words and names used in articles dealing with Hawaii." Perhaps you were confusing convention for article titles with conventions for okina in the body of text?   In any case, please provide your rationale along with citations to authoritative documents for departing from established convention on Hawaii articles, and for departing from MOS guidelines.  Otherwise, kindly desist in reverting the article over this matter.  -J JMesserly (talk) 21:21, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The practise has been to use English spelling — and the vast majority of English-language sources do not use diacritical marks when referring to Hawaiian subjects. It's one thing to use them with Hawaiian text: I'm not going to support removing them from Hawaiian text any more than I will support removing diacritical marks from any other language text.  However, because these are Anglicised names, it's totally different.  Remember that we use English for article titles, and there's no good reason to use a name other than that of the article when the article title is the only English name.  For an example of what I'm meaning, look at Hawaii: you'll see that there aren't any diacritical marks except in Hawaiian-language quotations or the occasional thing with an official name that uses diacritical marks.  In conclusion: please consider that there is no CDP in the state with a diacritical mark — see factfinder.census.gov for proof.  Nyttend (talk) 00:39, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey, don't tell it to me. If you feel strongly about it, get the MOS changed.  Until then, we go by the conventions for Hawaii place articles, and MOS:HAWAII.  CDP does not override Wikipedia authoritative documentation on the use of the okina.  By the way, if you make your argument, you should realize that okina is not a diacritical mark.  It is a letter corresponding to a glottal stop noise that is used in Hawaiian english.  You have not supported your argument by citation of WP authority.  I have.  Unless you can, it is fair to revert your change.  -J JMesserly (talk) 01:32, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I know the okina isn't a diacritical; I simply don't know of any single term that encompasses all the signs that Hawaiian uses that English doesn't. As for the CDP — it's impossible correctly to state, for example, that there is a census-designated place named "Kapaau".  As for what you're saying: I'm simply repeating the arguments that I've seen in the past.  FYI: I'm a geography-focused editor who has worked a good deal with local geography for many states, including Hawaii, for longer than you've been editing.  I don't say this to mean "shut up you little noob", but to mean "I can't always remember the exact page because I've seen so many of them over time".  That's why I'm telling you to talk with project members, since they likely will remember, having taken part in the discussions instead of simply reading them after the fact.  If you want to interpret the words of the Hawaii MOS, you must understand what the writers were thinking, and I'm giving you that side of the story — I'm quite confident that this did not mean "anything that's ultimately Hawaiian in origin".  Nyttend (talk) 04:35, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

(undent) Notwithstanding your claims of authority, I have provided citations for WP authority. You have declined. If you will not support your case, you have no support for your revert. -J JMesserly (talk) 04:59, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Nyttend, with all due respect, you're completely overlooking that okina and kahakō can find frequent use for English in Hawaii. While some people in Hawaii don't use it at all, many in Hawaii do, even if they are monolingual in English. It's a regional convention issue, just like harbor vs. harbour or tire vs. tyre, and in this particular case both spellings are commonly used. However, the issue of okina is far more contentious than these: Usage of the okina even in monolingual Hawaiian English and Hawaii-associated English (and I'm a kamaāina) is considered more polished and more complete. When a text is missing the okina and you add it, you're copyediting. When the text already has the okina and you intentionally remove it, it borders on what can seem like imperialism of a convention from London or Washington against another regional convention no less valid and no less strongly defended. Even in the United States—which legally has no nation-wide official language and where language is left to states and territories to decide—it can be insensitive and contextually quite inappropriate to force a Chicago (etc.) convention on a Hawaii spelling. Wikipedia doesn't have a policy on using only one specific regional variety of English spelling on the whole of Wikipedia; in fact, if I recall correctly, Wikipedia advises against forcefully respelling completely valid regional spelling differences. For Hawaii-related articles, it only makes sense to use spellings that are particularly polished and cherished to Hawaii, rather than deriding them with pejorative labels like "foreign language spelling", especially since the Hawaiian language—while not a native language to most people—isn't even a language of a foreign country. - Gilgamesh (talk) 07:19, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Arbitrary break because this section is getting too long
Gilgamesh, no disrespect to you, but you're the one that moved all these articles to with-diacritics-and-okina (isn't there some term that encompasses both of these) titles; I can't see the strength of an argument that has already been decided against. As for your point, Messerly, I have continued procedure on my side, I tell you that you are misunderstanding what the project says (don't misrepresent my position), and I have told you...and told you...and TOLD YOU [:-)] that this is the way that the project worked it out a long time ago. Bring in some of those who were involved in the discussion and supported the current formatting, or have a new discussion composed of several people, and I'll listen, but as long as there's neither I have no evidence that your interpretation is correct.  Nyttend (talk) 11:53, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Asserting that something has been "decided against" repetitively is not sufficient support. If the "project worked it out" in a way that contradicts the meaning of the MOS Hawaii guidelines I have quoted, then kindly provide a citation for these alternate guidelines you believe support your position.  If not, then your revert cannot stand.  As for your assertion that I misunderstand what the guideline states, please show me where I have erred in concluding that the Kapaau article clearly conforms to the passage:
 * This qualifies as one of the "articles dealing with Hawaiʻi".
 * Kapaau is current standard Hawaiian english orthography for this name.
 * Your edit gives preference not to the okina spelling as the guideline states.
 * QED- your edit is in violation of the MOS:HAWAII guideline quoted above and therefore should be reverted. Where have I erred?

 * People in this state speaks english and we use this letter in our signs and communication with each other. Similarly, in Canada, they refer to the Gaspé Peninsula.  I would assume you don't like that that either.    If you don't think WP should reflect the reality of how these names are used by the english speaking people who live in these places, then fine, change the guidelines, or do an RFC on the general case of "non english" glyphs used in WP articles.  Until then, the article should be reverted without prejudice until such time as you can provide authoritative support for POV.-J JMesserly (talk) 19:06, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

 * I think this is something that should be worked out in a much broader forum. This debate has been going on for quite some time now, including a bunch of mass-moves of articles to include the okina, exclude the okina, have some approximation of the okina, etc. It's probably reached a point where we should figure it out. No comment until a better forum is established, though. Mahalo. --Ali'i 20:51, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Please bear in mind that I'm doing what I'm doing because it's my understanding of what this project has decided. I don't like it, but that's not the reason I'm doing what I'm doing: if the project decides otherwise, I'll not fight or even participate significantly.  CDPs are one thing — a project decision in favour of using these characters can't change the verifiable truth that there aren't any non-standard-English characters in any such names — but everything else is different as far as I know.  Nyttend (talk) 01:41, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * That's why I've basically stopped caring/reverting okina additions/subtractions. Too many people disagree, and it needs some resolution. --Ali'i 19:16, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

(undent) Nyttend- same response. The project has decided otherwise. Just because the Census bureau has chosen to spell names differently than all the local signs and people use is completely irrelevant. CDP is not the authority. WP guidelines are. I have cited the pertinent one, and you have cited none to support your revert. -J JMesserly (talk) 01:59, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Nyttend- I shall proceed with the revert since you have declined to show with reference to WP authoritative document(s) why the WP guideline on okina does not apply. The Census bureau is interested in the uniformity of truth.  Wikipedia is interested in the distinctiveness of truth.  That difference in goals lies at the core of this issue.  -J JMesserly (talk) 19:11, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Taking this to a wider forum
Ali'i- Sounds worth doing. What are the candidates for a broad forum? Let's just brainstorm the list. What are the other candidates for venue? -J JMesserly (talk) 01:59, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Village pump proposals
 * MOS RFC on glyphs with dominant local usage among english speakers (including examples like Gaspé Peninsula?
 * Arbcom?
 * My point with the CDPs is that you cannot find a reliable source for a census-designated place named Kapaau. Except in cases of its own error (see Lisco, Nebraska), how can the Census Bureau be incorrect about the name of a census-designated place?  Unless you can persuade the Census Bureau to include non-English characters in the names of census-designated places, you can't verifiably have a census-designated place with a name that includes these characters.  Nyttend (talk) 19:49, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Just confused — why in the world would you consider taking this ArbCom? A calm dispute because one editor misinterprets guidelines made without his participation (after all, this is a correct assessment whether you or I are wrong) is nowhere near big enough for that — if I understand right, it has [to be legal about it] appellate jurisdiction but not original jurisdiction.  Third opinion is another option in some cases, but we already have three people participating, so it's out of the question here.  Is WP:VP/P less significant than an RFC?  I really think that we should begin on a low level and only proceed upward if there's dissatisfaction with the outcome.  Nyttend (talk) 19:57, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Regarding venue- this is just a brainstormed list. No need to make arguments for one or the other at this point.
 * Kapaau has an existence separate from the census bureau and the spelling is recognized by USGS, FEMA, and the National Register of Historic places. Further, all the local signs use okinas as do newspapers. -J JMesserly (talk) 21:06, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, just wasn't sure what you meant about the venues. As for the names — I created 'Ō'ōkala, Hawaii with its current name.  The difference, again, is its status: there's no official recognition other than GNIS for it, but there is for Kapaau — and it's on that basis, among other things, that we have almost all the content that's currently on the article.  Of course it has an existence separate from the Census Bureau, but that's irrelevant to the fact that this is an article about the census-designated place.  Nyttend (talk) 04:02, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

(undent) Kapaau is a place also recognized by the USGS, FEMA and the US National Park Service. Is your proposal that the article be solely devoted to the census bureau data, or simply that the census bureau designation makes recognition as Kapaau by other official agencies and by local english speaking residents irrelevant? -J JMesserly (talk) 16:35, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Though they may legally be census-designated places, in reality they are thought of as villages, towns and cities. Though the city of Honolulu legally encompasses all of Oahu and all of the island of Hawaii has one mayor in Hilo, this is just a larger administrative structure more like that of a county (and contiguous with the county itself), and on-the-ground settlements are still separate community units and indicated as such on maps.  I was born in Hawaii, and didn't even know this legal distinction until I came to Wikipedia.  For all intents and purposes, though Hilo and Kona (for instance) are part of the same city, they are two different cities, with no small drive (the Saddle Road alone can take hours, though the belt road is actually faster because of better road conditions) and a few bigass mountains between them.  I'm just illustrating that...on the ground, census-designated place isn't all that meaningful a difference from city.  Human beings treat them as different cities.  It's not like they're all neighborhoods of the municipality of Los Angeles or the municipality of Boston that bleed into each other seamlessly.  Some CDP are direct neighbors, but mostly in the metropolitan aggregations. - Gilgamesh (talk) 22:25, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Comment - At the very least, shouldn't the Hawaiian spelling be included in parentheses, as it is at Hawaii? —Kal (talk) 04:16, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It usually already is. But that's not really the issue here.  The issue is over which spelling should be primary.  This seems to vary depending on context of a person's location or association with Hawaii, as Hawaii has some of its own peculiar polished English habits related to words and names of Hawaiian language origin.  If you want to be clear and respectful, you consistently use full okina and kahakō in writing.  To not do so is increasingly sloppy or careless, and almost certainly makes it apparent that a writer doesn't care.  To leave it out feels like writing entirely without one of the letters on your keyboard—imagin vrything bing writtn lik this without th ky btwn W and R on your QWRTY kyboard. - Gilgamesh (talk) 05:45, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Draft of Assignment 3 - Add to an article

Distribution (Partition) Coefficient
A distribution constant $$K_D$$is used to define the relationship between the solid and liquid phase of a reaction. This equilibrium constant is often times referred to as $$D$$when dealing with trace elements, where

$$K_D=C_S/C_L=X_i^{solid}/X_i^{liquid}$$

$$K_D=D$$for trace elements

The equilibrium constant is an empirically determined value. These values depend on temperature, pressure, and composition of the mineral melt. $$D$$ values differ considerably between major elements and trace elements. By definition, incompatible trace elements have an equilibrium constant value of less than one because trace elements have higher concentrations in the melt than solids. Thus, this means that compatible elements have a value of $$D>>1$$.

Bulk Distribution Coefficient
The bulk distribution coefficient is used to calculate the elemental composition for any element $$i$$that makes up a mineral in a rock. The bulk distribution coefficient, $$\overline{D}_i$$, is defined as the distribution coefficient for the element $$i$$in mineral $$A$$.

$$\overline{D}_i=\Sigma W_AD_i^A$$ where $$i$$ is the element of interest in the mineral, and $$W_A$$is the weight fraction of mineral $$A$$in the rock. $$D_i^A$$is the distribution coefficient

National Operatic and Dramatic Association

NODA has a membership of 2500 amateur theatre groups and 1000 individual enthusiasts throughout the UK, staging musicals, operas, plays, concerts and pantomimes in a wide variety of performing venues, ranging from the country's leading professional theatres to tiny village halls.

History
It was founded in 1899.

Structure
NODA is divided into 11 regions, each headed by a regional councillor who sits on the national council (the ruling body of the Association), supported by a network of regional representatives. These 190 volunteers are the vital link to the grass roots of the association, the amateur theatre groups themselves. NODA is administered from its headquarters in Peterborough. In 2017 NODA became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.

Operation
There is a broad spectrum of ages involved in amateur theatre nationwide, from an increasing number of youth groups to adult companies which meet the needs of all levels of both performers, whether dramatic or musical, and enthusiasts involved backstage, front of house or in administration. Each production created is a genuine community event.

NODA aims:
 * To give a shared voice to the amateur theatre sector
 * To help amateur societies and individuals achieve the highest standards of best practice and performance
 * To provide leadership and advice to enable amateur theatre to tackle the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century

Benefits of membership include access to NODA's advice service at national and regional level, representation to government, funding agencies, rightsholders and the media, and access to conferences, workshops and seminars to help share information on best practice. NODA also holds an annual residential theatre Summer School (with bursaries available) offering training from professional tutors in drama performance, music directing, musical theatre, stage management and other courses for performers, theatre directors and technicians. Both national and regional news about NODA and its member societies is published in its in-house magazine, NODA Today. NODA also holds annual national and regional Programme and Poster competitions, to encourage the highest standards in design.

NODA's trading arm, NODA Limited, acts as a mechanism for raising additional funds for the Association. Its publishing department, NODA Pantomimes, offers more than 100 scripts by such popular authors as Leonard Caddy, Peter Denyer, Stephen Duckham, Ron Hall, Peter Long and Keith Rawnsley, Robert Marlowe, Geoffrey Rundle and Keith Marsden, John Morley and David Swan, and other publications including The Slipper and the Rose, a musical based on the film of the same name, and practical guides for performers and directors. It also offers Long Service Awards, and discounts on playscripts, libretti and scores and theatre books from the catalogue of A & C Black> NODA members can purchase theatrical make-up from Charles Fox at a special discounted price.

NODA Insurance, arranged through Lloyd & Whyte offers a comprehensive insurance package for amateur theatre groups.

John Sisterson

John Sisterson is an American collegiate soccer head coach, currently with Santa Barbara City College as head coach of both the men and women's teams. He has been with the Vaqueros since 2005 and is the most successful soccer coach in the history of Santa Barbara City College, with over 400 wins for both men's and women's teams. Sisterson has won 10 Western State Championships, as well as receiving coach of the year awards on 10 occasions. In 2011 both the men's and women's teams were Western State Conference Champions, the only time this has been achieved by one college in the history of the Western State Conference, and this was also repeated in 2017, Sisterson being head coach of both teams. His players both male and female have moved on to play professionally, and have also been inducted in the Women's Professional Soccer League Hall of Fame. Sisterson was also the head coach for the United States Deaflympics Women's soccer team from 2003 - 2009. In 2005 the team won a gold medal at the Deaflympics in the Olympic Stadium, Melbourne, Australia, beating Russia in the final 3–0. The team won gold again in the 2009 Deaflympics in Taipei, Taiwan with the leadership of Head Coach Ken McDonald who coached both the Men's and Women's deaf soccer.

Coaching career
Upson Lee

Sisterson's first U.S. head coaching job came in 1998, when he was appointed to the position at Upson Lee, in Georgia. He took a losing program, that had never had a winning year, to six consecutive winning seasons, a region championship, and five runners-up berths. He was Coach of the Year on four occasions, and had a record of 74–24–4. He was also director of soccer for the Upson Lee Soccer Association.

U.S. Olympic Federation

Sisterson was hired as women's head soccer coach for the U.S. Deaf Soccer Association in 2003. The team previously had poor results in worldwide tournaments. The goal was to prepare and qualify a team for the 2005 Deaflympics in Melbourne, Australia. Sisterson recruited his new squad throughout the U.S., getting mainly NCAA D1 players. Holding training camps in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City and New York, Sisterson delivered immediate results. The team was unbeaten in pre-Olympic games against NCAA university teams, and qualified for the Deaflympics as favorites. Sisterson's team remained undefeated throughout Olympic competition (7–0), beating Great Britain in the quarter-final, Denmark in the semi-final, culminating in the defeat of Russia in the gold medal game, at the Olympic Stadium in Melbourne. Sisterson signed a new contract to lead the team to the 2009 Deaflympics in Chinese Taipei, upon returning from Australia. He selected and trained the squad until 2009, but due to head coaching commitments at Santa Barbara City College, could not attend the Olympics. His assistant, and longtime friend, Ken McDonald, led the team, again unbeaten, to win the gold medal.

W Texas A&M University

Sisterson became head assistant at W Texas A&M University in 2004. He coached both the men's and women's programs, and was the recruiting coordinator. The women's team were NCAA Region Tournament finalists, losing to the eventual national champions. The women's team had a record of 13–6–1, and the men's team, who were also tournament finalists, had a record of 11–7–2. Sisterson resigned as head assistant, to accept a head coaching position in Santa Barbara, California.

Santa Barbara City College

Sisterson was hired as head women's soccer coach in 2005. In 2008, he was also appointed as the head men's soccer coach, by athletic director, Mike Warren. Sisterson led the Vaquero women's team to Western State Conference (WSC) championships in 2011, 2014, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022. In 2017 both the men and women's teams were unbeaten in regular season. In 2014, the team was unbeaten in conference. This was the first time this had been achieved in the program's history. Prior to Sisterson, the women's team had never won a conference title and was nationally unranked. Under Sisterson's guidance, the women's team has achieved numerous national rankings, as high as 2nd in 2017, 5th in 2008 and 2011 and 6th in 2016. He has also led the team to 14 out of 15 post-season tournament appearances, and has a record of 203-68-51 since 2005. The Vaquero women have been honored with five of the last six Western State Conference Player of the Year awards. His success with the Vaqueros men's team includes winning the Western State Conference championship on four occasions. The men's team were also Final Four participants in 2011 and the Women's team in 2016 and 2017 and in 2017 were State Runners Up. Under Sisterson's tutelage, the team has produced four Western State Conference Player of the Year recipients. The Vaquero men's team are the all-time winningest in the Western State Conference, and Sisterson has won four WSC titles with a 160-70-48 record. Since 2006, he has achieved a first or second-place position in the WSC, with one of his teams. In 2011, Sisterson's teams were both Western State Conference champions, the only time in WSC history that this has been achieved by one college and this was repeated in 2017. He has won over 400 games with both the men's and women's teams, and is the only soccer coach to have achieved this milestone at Santa Barbara City College. While at Santa Barbara Sisterson has been honored with ten Coach of the Year awards, including an NSCAA West Region Coach of the Year award, CCCSCA Southern Region Coach of the Year, 7 Western State Conference Coach of the Year awards and a Santa Barbara Round Table College Coach of the Year. His players have achieved All American awards, and have gone on to play professionally, as well as on national teams.

Atomic Structure and Electromagnetic Radiation

The distributions of electrons among the orbitals of an atom is the atom's electronic structure or electron configuration. Basically, the distributions can be laid out in this fashion (read from the bottom up):

O O O O O 6d O O O O O O O 5f O 7s

O O O 6p O O O O O 5d O O O O O O O 4f O 6s

O O O 5p O O O O O 4d O 5s

O O O 4p O O O O O 3d O 4s

O O O 3p O 3s

O O O 2p O 2s

O 1s

The bottom energy level is 1--it has the lowest energy level. Each "O" represents an orbital. You can see that there is 1 orbital for a s subshell. There are 3 orbitals for a p subshell, 5 for a d, and 7 for a f. Each orbital can hold 2 electrons. Therefore, the s subshell can hold 2 electrons, the p can hold 6, the d 10, and the f 14. And thus, the first energy level can hold 2 electrons (1s -- 2), the second energy level can hold 8 electrons (2s2p -- 2 + 6), the third energy level can hold 18 electrons (3s3p3d -- 2 + 6 + 10), and the forth energy level can hold 32 (4s4p4d4f -- 2 + 6 + 10 + 14). In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons of the atom. When the electrons fill the orbitals, they occupy the lowest energy orbitals that are available. For example, hydrogen is atomic number 1 (has 1 proton). The one electron that it has occupies the lowest orbital, which is 1s. To write it's electron configuration, it would be 1s1. In an orbital diagram, it would simply be a circle with one up arrow in it, which represents the 1s orbital: H

Likewise, helium has 2 protons and its electron configuration would be 1s2. It's orbital diagram would by a circle with one up arrow and one down arrow. He

An the same with lithium (1s22s1) and beryllium (1s22s2) Li     Be

Now things get trickier with higher orbitals. For example, Boron has an electron configuration of 1s22s22p1 and the orbital diagram looks like this: B

Now one might think that carbon, with an electron configuration of 1s22s22p2 would have an orbital diagram of this: C

But that is incorrect. It acutally has one of this: C

The rule for doing this is that when electrons are placed in a set of orbitals of equal energy, they are spread out to give as few paired electrons as possible. For carbon, that means that the two p electrons are in separate orbitals. Using that rule, we can complete the orbital diagrams for the rest of the elements of the second period. N 1s22s22p3 O 1s22s22p4 F 1s22s22p5 Ne 1s22s22p6

The Periodic Table
The Periodic Table of the Elements is constructed and arranged so that similar chemical properties were arranged in vertical columns called groups. Because chemical properties are based on electronic structure (electron configurations) we can use the table to predict electron configurations for elements. The way that the table is structured also shows how to predict electron orbitals. On the left is a block of 2 columns, then on the right is a block of 6 columns. In the center is a block of 10 columns, and on the bottom there is a block of 14 columns. These numbers, 2, 6, 10, and 14, are the numbers of electrons that can occupy the s, p, d, and f subshells. Chemical properties of an elements are basically how different elements bond to each other to form compounds. The valence shell or the outer shell (the shell with the highest energy level) is the one mainly responsible for how an element reacts to form compounds. The core electrons are the rest of the electrons, and they are buried deep within the atom and usually do not play a role in chemical reactions. Elements with similar properties should have similar valence shell electron configurations. Going down one column of the periodic table, one can see that the valence shell electron configurations are similar. For example (valence shell in bold): Li 1s22s1 Na 1s22s22p63s1 K  1s22s22p63s23p64s1 Rb 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p64d105s1 Cs 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p64d105s25p66s1

During chemical reactions, elements like to gain or lose electrons in order to achieve the electron configuration of a noble gas. The noble gases are the elements that have filled their orbitals completely. They appear on the column on the far right side of the periodic table, and they include helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon. The elements above like to lose their s1 electron. Because the noble gases have filled their orbitals, they are mostly inactive.

Simplifying Electron Configurations
Sometimes, electron configurations can get very long. To simplify writing them, the core electron configuration can be substituted with the symbol of the noble gas which has the same core configuration. For example, instead of writing K  1s22s22p63s23p64s1

you can write K  [Ar] 4s1

because argon has the same electron configuration as the core configuration.

Unexpected Electron Configurations
There are a few exceptions to the rule for writing electron configurations. They happen with the d subshell (the transition elements) and the f subshell (the inner transition elements). It is because the d subshell sometimes will overlap with the proceeding s subshell, and the f subshell sometimes will overlap with the proceeding s or d subshells. For example, chromium and copper have the following configurations: Cr [Ar] 3d54s1 Cu [Ar] 3d104s1

The corresponding diagrams are: Cr [Ar] Cu [Ar]

One would expect the s subshells to be filled and have 2 electrons instead of 1. But it is preferred to have the 3d subshell exactly half-filled or completely filled, and an s electron is borrowed to complete it.

The energies of atomic orbitals also describes their shapes. The shapes are uncertain, but predictions have been made by experimentation. Another difficult task is describing where an electron is. We can think of it as a wave, and describing its exact location is impossible for us to comprehend. Instead, we can think of it as the statistical probability of the electron being found at a particular place. An electron cloud is used for showing the probability of where an electron is using a dot-density diagram. The denser the dots are in the diagram, the more probability that an electron could be found there. For example, these are dot-density diagrams for the s and p orbitals (cross sections): s orbital p orbital Electron density relates to how much of an electron's charge is packed into a given volume. In dense places on the dot-diagram, there is a high concentration of electrical charge. An s orbital's shape is spherical, but the p orbital's shape is quite different. They have two lobes extending out into three dimensional space. Since there are 3 p orbitals per energy level, the lobes extend out along the x-axis (px orbital), the y-axis (py orbital), and the z-axis (pz orbital). px orbital py orbital pz orbital The d orbital's shapes are even more complex because there are 5 orbitals in a d subshell. Four of the five d orbitals (dxy, dxz, dyz, and dx^2-y^2) have four lobes extending out perpendicular to each other. The last one, dz2, has two lobes extending out along the z-axis with a torus (doughnut-shaped ring) around the center on the x-y plane. dxy orbital dxz orbital dyz orbital dx2-y2 orbital dz2 orbital The significance of these shapes will be discussed later in this topic.
