Many of the translations reveal a rich spiritual life, devoted to the deity "Yah." But many of the other petroglyphs appear to have been used as signs for the inhabitants and visitors to the area. The panel on the right is an example of what might be considered a sign or posted notice. This particular group of symbols shows that the symbols could be read from bottom to top (as with the ligature) and includes a ideogram (a circle) commonly used to represent the full moon.

Dr. Harris has added the "Alef" to the translation that does not appear in the actual script. This unique symbol is silent and is therefore frequently not written in the Colorado variant of Old Negev. The translation of this panel would thus read, "Be fearful (reverent) in the mountain at full moon."

Additional examples of utilitarian signs and posted warnings suggest that the general population of this area was able to read and understand these messages. We can infer from this that their spoken language would be a form of old Hebrew. Another non-religious example is given below. Ironically, the water running throughout the Purgatory River (and the surrounding La Junta region) is rich in magnesium. Local residents have gotten used to drinking bottled spring water. Drinking the tap water or accidentally ingesting the river water causes almost instant diarrhea (milk of magnesium). This particular group of symbols was located near a point of easy access to the river bank and obviously served a useful purpose. Again, the use of these signs suggests that local inhabitants were able to read and benefit from the warnings contained therein. Another curious warning pertains to the sun, which can be surprisingly strong in ultraviolet rays at the high altitude. In fact, the site is only really accessible during the early spring and late autumn because of the extreme heat and the danger of sunburn. The translation reads as follows:

kh-l-d = hide, abide, continue for the duration of life; h-k = to be smitten, beaten down; h-t-r = to flow, (water) run, (or light) to shine bright. Translation: Hide or be smitten when the sun is bright [as at high noon indicated by the sign on the far left].

This interesting arrangement (above) can be read from both directions, has an unusual chiasmus arrangement and seems to be poetic in both form and structure. Reading from right to left we have d-' = to know, to be aware of (from y-d-'); n-h-l = to provide (sustain life); n-d = a heap or mound. Reading from left to right we have d-n = judge; l-h-n = but (with qualification); '-d = (defec. for '-w-d) = to testify again and again. Translated: Know how to maintain the mound (hill of judgment), judge but testify again and again.

There are many references to a hill or mound in these translations. Dr. Harris, who has not been to the site, could not have known that the canyon contains a ramp-like mound of earth that rises up some fifty feet to the canyon wall. At the top of this "ramp" there is an unusually large amount of symbols and layer upon layer of ligatures. The surface of the rock face at the summit of this mound has literally been worn flat by repeated inscriptions in the stone. This mound can easily be seen in a satellite photograph (taken in infrared) of the canyon [below].

+++

The references to the "mound" are frequent in this particular site. In the following example, translated by Dr. Harris, we see reference made to the "tel [hill] of Bel." Bel, or Ba'al, was traditionally a local deity of a village or geographic region whose worship was popular in the middle eastern countries prior to the monotheistic doctrine of Abraham and Moses. Reference is made to this in the book of Judges (20, 21), where the early Israelites (Levites) were attacked by a group of the Ba'al cult while traveling in the land that was given to the tribe of Benjamin (Joshua 18). The twelve tribes of Israel met and instructed the Benjamites to deliver these followers of Ba'al to be punished, but the Benjamites refused. Their disobedience resulted in a bloody conflict, ending with their being cursed and banished from association or intermarriage with the other eleven tribes. It is known that the Benjamites fled to other regions of the world, establishing colonies in what is now southern France. They were almost exterminated by this curse. It has been suggested that they were assisted in their travels by sea-going peoples.

The following panel speaks of "the mark of the curse." Again, we have no idea whether this makes reference to an epidemic with obvious physical signs or some sort of tattoo or outward sign that one belonged to an "accursed" group. In any event, the warning admonishes the observer to give assistance and appears to be a humane gesture.

The inscription below is one of many inscriptions that make reference to the Sun. Many of these have been found in caves and dark, protected area where rocks provide shelter from sunlight. This panel was in such an area.

This last panel (on this page) includes a familiar ideogram -- the reclining man with an object protruding from his mouth. We can infer that this inscription might have been read with the introduction, "It has been said that..." Also note the clever use of an ideogram with the incorporation of Old Negev symbols on the far right.

We will continue to present more translations from this important archaeological site. But this is a good time to remind readers that the site in Colorado remains unprotected and is vulnerable to damage by the elements as well as vandalism. We have therefore not given exact locations. Viewzone is seeking to work with organizations, students and volunteers to form an expedition to this location in the spring of 2000. Any interested parties should contact Viewzone directly for details.

+++

An example of ritualistic writing and art at the top of the "mound."

A personal name of antiquity, Ham, appears on many panels in the Colorado region. Here Ham is being quoted in a manner that suggests he was a spiritual leader. Once again we see reference to "El" or God, and also to His Son.

Below is another panel making reference to Ham. In this panel we can see that Ham is apparently charged with securing women for the clan, or perhaps granting permission for marriage.

The following panel speaks of a possible ritual prior to marriage. The male announces that he is going far away, possibly to obtain permission to marry her. While he is away, the other tribal members agree to care for her until her beloved returns. We will likely never know if this is really what is behind this interesting translation but it does provide yet another window on the past while leaving ample room for speculation.

Another group of inscriptions is located in the canyon with the hill or mound and invites one to ascend the mound and partake in the safety and comfort of the community. There are many humane and ethical scripts associated with this ancient group.

There are several additional panels from the Purgatory River area that have been translated and will be presented in subsequent pages. Viewzone has been in contact with members of Bill McGlone's team and we will allow them some time to digest the material we have presented. Although Bill McGlone never considered a group of Hebrew-speaking inhabitants were among those who contributed to the array of petroglyphs, he was not made aware of the discovery and properties unique to old negev script.

School talk:Pharmacy

What is the difference between this page and School:Medicine?--Rayc 19:13, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

=Edited link= I modified the link of Biochemistry directly to Medical Biochemistry. HolyZarkon 21:38, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Collaboration with other schools
Would anyone in the school of pharmacy like to start collaborating on projects that apply to both of our disciplines, such as physiology and anatomy pages? What I am suggesting is that the school of biology should to consider working with other schools on departments that cross disciplines. For example:

 * The schools of biology, medicine, dentistry, nursing and pharmacy could develop the department of Pharmacology into a department which offers a course within the school of biology as well as modules within the other mentioned courses

Similar things could work between the school of pharmacy and these schools with regards to other departments. This would not only lighten the load for all concerned but could also expedient the completion of our individual projects making th Life Sciences Portal a very happy place :)

Bleu pétrole

Bleu pétrole (Petrol blue) is the twelfth studio album by the French rocker Alain Bashung, released in March 2008 on Barclay Records. It was the last studio album released during his lifetime.

Production
Great expectations surrounded Bleu pétrole after L'Imprudence, issued in 2002, and the live album La Tournée des grands espaces, issued in 2004. Bashung took time to work on it, before deciding finally to not work with his lyricist Jean Fauque, choosing instead to work with Gaëtan Roussel of Louise Attaque and Gérard Manset. After the more experimental works of the 2000s, Bashung decided to go back to a more traditional rock-sounding album, closer to his works of the 1990s. The album is dedicated to Mick Larie, a member of Bluegrass Long Distance, who died in July 2007, the mandoline player and friend of Marcel Dadi and Patrick Sébastien. The first single from the album was "Résidents de la République" ("Residents of the Republic").

Bashung began touring to promote the album and sang "Comme un lego" ("Like a lego") by Gérard Manset as the opener of his concerts. On 7 July 2008, an expanded vinyl collector edition of 1,000 copies was issued.

Bleu pétrole was Bashung's last studio album;, who died on 14 March 2009.

Critical reception
In 2010, the French edition of Rolling Stone magazine named this album the 46th greatest French rock album (out of 100).

The French magazine Les Inrockuptibles called the album an "immense chef-d'œuvre" (a huge masterpiece).

Botany/Introduction

<< Contents Page

Introduction to the Botany Study Guide
This Study Guide to the Science of Botany is a textbook at Wikibooks shelved at the biology bookshelf and intended to establish a course of study in the subject of Botany, utilizing articles provided in Wikipedia, with links to other relevant web sites and other Wikibooks as appropriate. In some cases, portions of the text from Wikipedia articles have been used to materially develop introductory text within the Guide.

For the new user, it need be pointed out that Wikipedia differs from a standard encyclopedia in two important respects: 1) it is a hypertext document, and 2) it is open and editable, and therefore constantly changing. For the student following this or any guide through Wikipedia to cover a specific subject, it is recommended that each article (page) be read first in its entirety, before any hyperlinks are followed to other topics or explanations. It is too easy, otherwise, to simply become lost in a maze of links, and miss the main thrust of an article presented as an assignment from the Guide. Because Wikipedia is constantly changing (and, it is believed, improving) the quality of each article encountered will be variable. Some articles are well written and go to adequate depth, whereas others, lacking a proponent, are shallow and incomplete. Short or sloppy looking articles may contain questionable facts. These short-comings should diminish with time, but can be a problem for the student.

One clear advantage to using this Guide linked to a hypertext like Wikipedia is the "circular redundancy with serendipity" factor that arises when an article is read and its hyperlinks followed; this factor can be a powerful learning tool. The persistent reader is subjected to a fairly high degree of repetitive reading, often presenting slightly differing perspectives on the same general topic, with the result that learning comes from redundancy and seeing difficult concepts presented in more than one way. At the same time, some hyperlinks lead down less relevant paths, bringing new and unanticipated knowledge. If, as a student, you are truly interested in mastering the subject of botany, you must be prepared to read beyond the basic assignments; in some cases, beyond Wikipedia to explore other, "outside" web sites.

It seems likely that the typical user of the Study Guide to the Science of Botany is not necessarily an active student taking a course in botany at the high school (AP) or college level, but a person with a strong interest in plants—an amateur naturalist or a gardener. Therefore the guide must incorporate both the basic biological and physiological aspects of plants as well as extensive taxonomy-based coverage of the diversity of plants and related organisms. The amount of material now available on the web covering the latter subject is becoming nothing short of phenomenal. In effect, one now has access to much of the world's plant diversity, with photographs and descriptions, in many cases from web sites maintained by specialists. One goal of the guide is to provide a systematics-based approach to capturing this kind of information, hopefully giving the student a strong background in plant systematics. The importance of this approach is not that everyone should become a taxonomist—or become more familiar with plant taxonomy, a specialized field of botanical science with a relatively narrow following—but that appreciation for (and understanding of) species diversity is most critical at this time in our earth's history marked by accelerated species extinctions and destruction of native ecosystems by both human population expansion and man-induced spread of non-native species.

The Study Guide to the Science of Botany includes two other "parallel" documents intended to enhance the usefulness of the Guide. These could also be used separately or independently as source documents for a beginning course in Botany. They are the Discussion pages and the Laboratory Exercise pages. Both are explained in detail in the next Section titled How to use this Guide.

Peter Lee (cricketer)

Peter Granville Lee (born 27 August 1945), affectionately known as "Leapy", is a former cricketer who played for Northamptonshire and Lancashire County Cricket Clubs. He was a right-arm fast-medium bowler who moved the ball off the seam and became among the most effective bowlers in English county cricket during the 1970s. Presumably because his batting was impotent as shown by his highest first-class score in more than 200 matches being 26, Lee appears never to have been considered seriously for Test cricket. He toured South Africa twice with teams organised by Derrick Robins. He was born at Arthingworth, Northamptonshire.

Lee played for five seasons from 1967 for Northamptonshire without ever becoming a regular in the side. He moved to Lancashire in 1972 largely as insurance for the likelihood that regular opening bowlers Peter Lever and Ken Shuttleworth would be called up for Test cricket by England, but with those bowlers doing extremely badly, Lee became their first choice opening bowler. 1973 saw Lee massively surpass his first season's promise and become the mainstay of Lancashire's bowling, actually taking more wickets in the County Championship than any other bowler.

In 1974 Lee was consistently handicapped by injuries and illness: he played about half his county's matches but was at no point fully fit Nevertheless, he returned for a full season and even greater success in 1975. His 112 first-class wickets was the highest by any bowler that season: indeed the highest by any England-qualified bowler during the 1970s. He was named as a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in the 1976 edition of the almanack.

Having reached the top of the tree as a bowler, Peter Lee remained one of the most persistent and hard-working county bowlers during 1976 and 1977, though he took only two-thirds as many wickets as he did in 1975. However, 1978 saw Lee play only one match due to a serious shoulder injury which led to a delayed operation after weeks of examination. Lee made a "gallant" return to fitness in 1979 but completely lost form, finishing with 22 wickets for 40 runs apiece that season. Indeed, apart from a career-best eight for 34 against Oxford University in 1980, Lee never again did much worthy of his former reputation, and at the end of 1982 he was released by Lancashire. After that, he played for Durham in the Minor Counties Championship during the 1983 season, but took only sixteen wickets for 29.56 apiece and was released.

During the 20/20 Finals Day in August 2011, Paul Allott suggested Lee's decline coincided with the total loss of his run up, similar to the yips suffered mainly by left arm spinners.

Talk:James Brady

Intellectual honesty
Wouldn't he have more integrity to have been an advocate of such gun control measures before the incident that affected him personally? Sorta like becoming a cancer activist after you have cancer. Attention wh***. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:32, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Actually, rumor has it that his wife was the gun control advocate and he was her puppet. --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:48, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Finer point
I was watching ABC news live when Frank Reynolds prematurely announced Mr. Brady's death; but I recall his words being "let's get this thing straight." That said, I have no evidence of that, save that when SCTV lampooned the event by having Eugene Levy (as newscaster Earl Camembert) mistakenly announce the death of Lola Heatherton,  after his retraction he says "let's get this thing straight!" and that I have seen on DVD. Conjecture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Srw6666 (talk • contribs) 22:45, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

 * I just finished watching the piece with Frank Reynolds on Youtube. After he acknowledges the false reports of Brady's death, he says, "Let’s get it nailed down, somebody... Let’s (cough) find out."  The clip is a tribute to Frank, and the line in question is at about four and a half minutes in.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bE2b-JMLB8s&feature=related  —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 11:53, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Was Mr. Brady definitely a Republican (can the article be more definitive?)
I looked up the article to reference Mr. Brady's religious and political credentials, and I was surprised that they are not here. I believed (vaguely) that Republicans were anti-gun control, and that the Brady Bill reflected a change of parties. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:33, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

On James Brady's recovery?
I wish this statement from Brady's neurosurgeon in the Nature story were accurate. "However, Kobrine said that 30 years later, Brady could walk and had recovered almost all speech and cognitive function."

But, sadly, I think his present condition is not as positive. Dated a few months later than the Nature story is a video from CBS News on You Tube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBMqiBcFhKQ) which states the opposite - that he never regained the ability to walk. It also mentions that he's also now blind.

Maybe the neurosurgeon didn't mean to suggest that Brady has been virtually cured or that he's walking well. But, that seems to be what the Nature story (and in turn, this article) suggests.

Perhaps someone more aware of the story and other sources can clean this up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gthiruva (talk • contribs) 00:11, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Lead
The lead states: "On August 8, 2014, Brady's death was ruled a homicide caused by the gunshot wound he received in 1981, approximately 33 years after the fact." This sentence should be reworded. It means that the homicide decision/classification came 33 years after the actual gunshot wound. However, the way it is presently worded, it makes it sound as if the year 1981 (i.e., the assassination attempt and the gunshot wound) is 33 years "after the fact". Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 00:14, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Protection suggestion
This article looks like it is in need of semi-protection at the least. Vandalism from raw IP address uses is frequent, with this being in the news. Challenger l (talk) 17:07, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Not done: requests for increases to the page protection level should be made at Requests for page protection. I only see two pieces of actual vandalism in the last 50 edits - so it is unlikely to be protected. - Arjayay (talk) 18:07, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Category: American shooting survivors
I've Category:American shooting survivors  by  <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) on 02:27, 12 August 2014 with the comment, "removed category "American shooting survivors"; the medical examiner ruled that he died from the shooting. He therefore, cannot be considered a survivor." It is far from clear to me that the ME's ruling excludes him from this category, particularly as he is most notable for his survival and subsequent advocacy. A consensus should be reached here before removal. -- ToE 10:13, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Portrayal in Media: The Americans
This entry seems to contain mostly non pertinent information relating to James Brady. Perhaps the mention of his shooting should be included as a minor footnote. However, the modern minivan reference along with what the characters in the show were doing at the time should not be included. Can this just be trimmed down to something like: “his shooting and erroneous death reports were referenced in a radio broadcast during an episode of the Americans”? It could simply include a hyperlink to the Americans TV series (either the show in general or to that specific episode). Then eliminate the remaining useless detail. (I lack experience editing articles and embedding links so if somebody with those skills agrees with my assessment they can make the necessary changes.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:32, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

I became aware of use of this website because of a posting on the BLP noticeboard. The website operator raises "copyright" issues that in my view are of no merit. However, I think there is an issue, which is whether this site can be used as a source at all.

According to the website, David Strathairn Online is "an unofficial and unendorced website dedicated to Mr. Strathairn and his on-going career. It is in no way associated with him or his agency." [...] Therefore it should not be used as a source under WP:V for personal data such as the name of his father and mother. I cited WP:RS in the edit summary but I think WP:V is the applicable policy. If this were Mr. Strathairn's official website it would be different; it is not, so there is no way of verifying if that information is true.I'm not sure if it should be linked under WP:EL, but I will leave it there for now.--Mantanmoreland 18:02, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree with your removal. The information that you removed is largely irrelevant anyhow. shotwell 19:20, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Good call. WP:RS is a guideline, WP:V is a policy. As far as the external link goes, as long as there isn't any harm done to the subject, such as contentious, controversial, or derogatory information, or harm done to any third parties, and it adds something further of value to the article, I don't see a problem with it as an EL. That's not to say that another editor won't have a problem with it. - Crockspot 01:03, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Use of David Strathairn Online in external links section
David Strathairn Online is a fansite; it does not meet the threshold of WP:V or WP:SOURCE, which is linked in WP:V and WP:BLP: "Self-published sources should never be used as third-party sources about living persons, even if the author is a well-known professional researcher or writer; see WP:BLP." I am removing it.
 * People who want to find fansites about actors and other celebrities can use search engines like Google. Such sites do not belong in biographies of living persons in Wikipedia.  They are self-published.  If the creator/webmaster/webmistress of such a site has a bonafide reputation as an "expert" on the subject by dint of recognizably-reliable publications on the subject, then perhaps its reliability would be identifiable.  Until such evidence of the recognizable "expert" status of the site's editor/creator, it is not citable according to WP:BLP.  If bonafide reliable and verifiable publications written and/or edited by the creator of the website exist (those published in newspapers, magazines, journals, or as books by recognized third-party publishers), then those should be cited as references.  Within them, one would be likely to find a link or a reference to the fansite. It is an unofficial site and not one to be listed in the external links of the subject.  Only his official sites or publications by experts on his work and life are pertinent in external links or references sections.  The threshold for "external links" is the same as that for any other reliable and verifiable references in this article.  The quality standards of WP:BLP does not permit including such fansites.  Links to such sites are generally already found in the links sections of sites like IMDb (already listed in the external links sec. here) and the Notable Names database. --NYScholar 21:59, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I've checked; this fansite is already linked in "Miscellaneous links" in the IMDb entry for Mr. Strathairn; it is easily accessible via its menu.  It does not need to be linked separately here, and it violates WP:BLP to link it.  See: IMDb Miscellaneous sites.  --NYScholar 22:02, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The pertinent policy is WP:EL, not WP:BLP. I had my doubts when the subject first came up, but I checked EL and the practice in similar articles, and found that such fan sites are indeed permissible. Earlier the issue is whether this could be a used as a source. The answer is no under WP:V. But EL and common practice with "celebrity" articles allows use of fan sites as external links. --Mantanmoreland 23:10, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It's already linked in the IMDb miscellaneous sites link. I don't see any reason to link it separately. Linking one fansite over another similar kind of site "privileges" one over another, which suggests there is some reason for doing so.  I see no compelling argument for doing so.  (I've cleaned up the citations and added some references to Mr. Strathairn's stage experience, which is a crucial aspect of his career omitted from earlier version of this biography.  It is important also to list author's names, titles, publications, and publication information, inc. dates of publication and dates accessed in notes to sources cited in biographies of living persons.  (Such sources need to be checked and verified for accuracy and accessibility before inserted in these articles.  WP:BLP.  I was unable to access a link given to the Sunday Mail; one might want to list full citation details (author, title of article, etc.), so one can locate it via an updated URL.  If it is a restricted site or archived version no longer accessible, please supply active link instead. Thanks.) --NYScholar 00:06, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

For the pertinence of policies stated in and linked via WP:BLP, see the tagged notice above: "This article must adhere to the policy on biographies of living persons. Controversial material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately...." There is no way to verify the self-published fansite information. If the same biographical information is already accessible in references and ext. links already cited, there is no need to list it. It doesn't contribute anything to the article that is not already accessible from the other references and external links already included. It is redundant. --NYScholar 00:08, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * For the guidelines on what links "normally to be avoided": see: WP:EL; that pertains to the fansite; it is accessible anyway via "Miscellaneous links" in the IMDb site. Redundancy is "to be avoided" (see item #1). --NYScholar 00:15, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Both your arguments simply don't hold water. First, the website is not "controversial" -- it is the usual fansite accumulation of TV appearances and other fancruft. All of it is completely uncontroversial and indeed is promotional in nature. Therefore BLP is simply not applicable. That applies to derogatory material, not favorable material. Now if there is something I have overlooked, please point out to me where in that website there is anything negative, derogatory or controversial. Please be specific. Don't just site the policy without relating it to the contents of the website.
 * You are also mistaken in citing the WP:EL policy re "redundancy." The fact that a site is linked within another site does not make it "redundant." Please stop citing policies that very clearly have no bearing on this issue. You are removing a useful link that clearly belongs in the external links section.--Mantanmoreland 14:02, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I've asked for a third opinion and also posted on the BLP noticeboard, since you keep citing that policy. If there were several fans sites I could see your point, but this is the only one. The other links in IMDB are to a Yahoo group and several listings.--Mantanmoreland 14:16, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

 * and I agree with them and have removed it. --Fredrick day 14:46, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Perhaps you can elucidate what part of WP:BLP, WP:EL and WP:NOT requires removal of this site. There is no policy against fan sites not connected with the celebrity.--Mantanmoreland 15:21, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

 * As I stated in the section above, this site should not be used as a source, but I don't see any problem with it as an EL. I don't see any reason why it should be removed. It is run with the subject's knowledge and approval, and is not defamatory, so to me, that is almost as good as it being run by the subject himself, at least as far as external links go. As far as citing it as a source, different ballgame. - Crockspot 15:33, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I got pointed here from WP:BLPN. This kind of a fansite is a perfectly good external link[...] The standard per WP:EL in a case like this is that the site needs to have more information than this article would if it reached featured status. I think it most certainly does. There is nothing libelous or defamatory on the site, on the contrary, it is run by a fanatic admirer, so there are no WP:BLP concerns. Finally, the extensive lists of everything he's ever done are informative and useful for research. Keep it in. ←BenB4 17:00, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Since the link hasn't been provided yet here, please see Wikipedia_talk:External_links for the more general discussion on this issue, that also contains comments about this particular site. Thanks. -- Alucard (Dr.) | Talk 17:56, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that, Alucard. I think the policy on fan sites needs to be clarified. --Mantanmoreland 18:46, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

There is no consensus in (Fan sites addressed in this policy 3F) re: this matter and the WP:BLP/N discussion; there are pros and cons expressed, but the cons seem more numerous than the pros. When in doubt, it is often most reasonable to omit a site. [updated. --NYScholar 05:41, 9 August 2007 (UTC)]

As I said before, the site is already included in the "Miscellaneous links" section of the IMDb entry on this subject. A biography of a living person is a specific kind of article in Wikipedia. External links generally include official sites and blogs written by the subject himself or herself (resources of information about the subject that have been verified by the subject); these articles are not advertisements for subjects or for self-published websites by others. Anyone who can use a computer and knows how to use search engines like Google (which is how most people get to an article on David Strathairn via Wikipedia) will see the site in such a search. I agree with the arguments stated by those in the WP:BLP/N that the site is best omitted from this encyclopedia article on Strathairn. It does no harm to omit it. It is not used as a source because it is not considered a "reliable source" in Wikipedia because all information in it is not "verifiable"; that is a category in WP:EL. The policy is clear enough. I still do not see why it has to be included. It's a slippery slope. Every self-published fansite on a celebrity wants to be "the" site; Wikipedia is not an advertisement for fansites; that is why I deleted "and more" from the self-description of the site. I quoted the information from the site's description of itself; clearly, the copyright policy is not in keeping with Wikipedia's own copyright policies. The reference to "public" content in the [...] [Information section] is misleading. Just because photographs are published in online newspapers does not make them "public materials" or "public" property [...] [Site information: Disclaimer]; these "materials" are not "public" or "public" property; they are still copyright-protected on those sites and the posting of them does violate the rights of copyright owners, despite what this fansite and other fansites' disclaimers say. Including such fansites [in biographies of living persons: WP:BLP) is really not up to "quality" standards of Wikipedia. As the discussion in Fan sites addressed in this policy 3F points out, the site violates copyrights and is not linkable in Wikipedia for that reason, among others.   --NYScholar 04:54, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

The comment re: "featured" articles above misreads the statement in #1 at the WP:EL policy link. Information "unique" to that fansite should be documented properly in the sources that it "credits"; those are the primary and secondary sources that are citable in Wikipedia (published articles and books in reliable and verifiable sources), not the fansite. (If one wants to include references one learns about from fansites, one is free to cite them properly, following WP:CITE and WP:ATTRIBUTION.) Fansites are not contributing to Neutral point of view; they are generally biased in favor of the subject. Various points of view on a subject can be documented via reliable and verifiable sources. I still see no compelling rationale for including the fansite as a separate link in External links in this article, espec. since it is already included in the IMDb.com listing of links. Including the site via External links in a biography of a living person (where it is not permissible as a source) misleadingly gives the appearance of recommending its use as a source, and doing so runs counter to WP:V, which explicitly rules out using such sources in biographies of living persons (already quoted): WP:V. If Wikipedia does not recommend that readers consult such self-published fansite as a source in a biography of a living person (WP:BLP), then it is not a source to include in External links. Readers can find such fansites through their own original research (search engines like Google and reading the other external links like IMDb.com.  (This is not just about external links in other kinds of Wikipedia articles; it is about external links in a biography of a living person; if it doesn't meet the threshold for "sources", then I don't think it should be included in External links either (which, obviously, is listing links for further use as sources).)  [Updated.] --NYScholar 06:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * As a kind of compromise, I've included the direct link to IMDb's "Miscellaneous links for David Strathairn", which has a link to that fansite and its Fanlisting too (part of that fansite). If one believes that there are copyright infringements in any of those links (including the fansite), then one might want to delete that direct link, which leads to it. --NYScholar 06:21, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * That's not a compromise, and there is a consensus of the editors on this page for retaining the link. As for the discussion in Talk of WP:EL, the consensus there is that fan sites are covered by existing policy. WP:EL specifically allows inclusion of "Sites which fail to meet criteria for reliable sources yet still contain information about the subject of the article from knowledgeable sources." In your comments above you continually confuse the criteria for sourcing with the criteria for external links, and as I just explained to you, sites which are eligible for links do not have to meet the criteria for sources. It has also been explained to you that there are no BLP issues here. You fail to cite anything in that website that presents any BLP issues. So please stop removing this link, and please stop revert-warring to remove it. Your personal dislike of fan sites is not consistent with Wikipedia policy.--Mantanmoreland 13:06, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

 * (edit conflict) I'm sorry, Mantanmoreland, but by reading through this Talk page and the discussion on WP::EL I think that we are very far from a consensus to keep the EL to this site. The majority of people posting on the EL page indicate that it should not be linked, and quote some very definite WP policies to support that. Consensus does not equal a vote - we have to remember that. The most compelling issue right now seems to be the copyright issue, and WP:EL is very very clear on that one. For that reason I am strongly in favour of not having the link. -- Alucard (Dr.) | Talk 13:38, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I went to the site and could not find a copyright violation. Can you be more specific as to the troublesome content there? That is the only valid issue that has been raised. Everything else is a misinterpretation of WP:EL, because it is applying to this website the criteria that is used in determining a reliable source. The answer to that has already been determined, and it is of course "no." I originally became involved in this article when a BLP noticeboard complaint was issued by the site owner protesting use of this site as a source. The determination was "no." At that time the consensus, with no dissent, was to keep the link in the "links" section. Be that as it may, the copyvio issue is troubling and needs to be hashed out.--Mantanmoreland 14:48, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Certainly. On [...] [David Strathairn Online] there are several WMV files taken from HBO specials.  Those belong to and are copyright from HBO, and I see no "used by permission" there.  I see a note that says "No copyright infringements intended.", but that doesn't say that it's NOT a copyright infringement - just becaus ethey say they didn't mean to doesn't mean it didn't happen. On the same page there are also copies of featurettes from commercially available DVDs.  These, too, will be copyrighted. On [...] [deleted link to copyright violations at webpage "tv3.html"] we have whole scenes taken from the HBO show "The Sopranos" - those are copyright HBO, too and again, I don't see a "used with permission" anywhere. On [...] [David Strathairn Online] [deleted similar webpage copyright-violation link] there are all sorts of excerpts from radio shows, which are owned by the respective stations.  I see no permission given there either.  There is not doubt that all of these clips are copyrighted by the original owners.  there is no evidence that they are posted with the owner's permission.  Therefore this it is a reasonable conclusion that this is a copyright violation, barring evidence to the contrary.  -- Alucard (Dr.) | Talk 15:28, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Ugh. I missed that. OK, out it goes.--Mantanmoreland 15:55, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

In that case, you might as well delete almost all the fansites you have listed on other actors and celebrities here on Wikipeida. Because, believe it or not, all these other fansites have the same copyrighted material posted on their sites too (meaning videos and photographs). What gives that you can delete this fansite then and not all the others that are violating copyrights? Clearly, this is a biased act against this particular site, and there are plenty of other fansites listed on Wikipedia doing the exact same thing. If you're going to single out one fansite for copyright violations, then you better delete the hundreds of others you have linked that are doing the same thing. Otherwise, it's biased, and it looks like NYScholar has started a bigger issue than he intended. I don't know what his personal beef is with this site, but there are hundreds of other fansites your linking to then that shouldn't be listed. You can't single this site out and not others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs)
 * That's beside the point. Copyright violations are strictly forbidden on Wikipedia. I was strongly in favor of keeping this site until it became clear that the there were serious copyright issues. --Mantanmoreland 21:26, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

It isn't beside the point. If it's against Wikipedia policy to link to these sites, then fine, but it should apply to ALL fansites in violation. Not just this one. This where your policy doesn't hold weight, because linking to countless other fansites violating copyrights. So, it makes little sense if you're going to continue to link to all the others but single this one out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs)
 * It does apply to all fansites.--Mantanmoreland 21:33, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, clearly not, because you're still linking to all these other sites that violate your policy on linking them. How is that applying to all fansites? —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs)
 * Sites with copyright violations can be removed on sight. You don't appear to understand that point, which has been explained to you at least three times within the past half hour, and this is my last time. As far I am concerned, this discussion is over.--Mantanmoreland 21:43, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Those links should be got rid of, and if you know of any, please go ahead and remove them, giving the reason. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is a good read for that. Just because it is done somewhere on WP doesn't make it right to do elsewhere - usually it's quite the opposite. If you don't want to remove them yourself, just post some examples, and we will take care of them. -- Alucard (Dr.) | Talk 22:20, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank You. I've already deleted several, including ones on the following sites: Rachel Weisz, Agnes Bruckner, George Clooney, Elijah Wood, Meryl Streep. There's one in question on Matt Damon, too. All of these sites contain photo galleries and/or media sections with copyrighted content. There are more, I'm sure, and any I come across I'll bring to the editors' attentions from now on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs) 18:44, August 9, 2007

Just for the record, I have no purported "personal" "beef" against this or any other particular fansite; I have already adequately stated my objections to such content (this is a content-related matter, not a personal matter, so don't make it personal as if it were, when it is not). I have already adequately stated my objections to including it and other such fansites in biographies of living persons and other articles that have information about living persons and thus must follow both WP:BLP (including therein linked policies and guidelines) and WP:COPYRIGHT. These other fansites also misleadingly feature similar "disclaimers" and notices stating that there is no "intentional" violation of copyrights, and yet they violate copyrights anyway. Such copyright violations and (in many other cases) lack of adequate documentation (credits) to sources and general lack of verifiability of information are why they are being deleted from Wikipedia by vigilant editors concerned about both quality and copyright infringement. (I added the unsigned template above so that comment is not confused with mine here.) I am in favor of deleting these self-published fansites engaging in copyright infringement from Wikipedia. There is nothing "personal" in this at all. These are content issues predicated on Wikipedia's own policies and procedures. --NYScholar 00:09, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, for the record: I have featured sources pertaining to copyright and source-related issues in Wikipedia on my own talk page since at least September 2006; see User Talk:NYScholar for more information and links to Wikipedia's own copyright policies. I registered these kinds of objections a long time ago, independently of anything to do (then) with the particular website relating to David Strathairn.
 * My posting those concerns pre-date the website owner's own claims that her so-called "copyrighted" content was being infringed by Wikipedia; one cannot copyright other people's copyrighted properties and then claim that all that material is copyrighted (owned) by oneself. Only the unique design of the website and material written by the website owner herself belongs to her, not the copyrighted material taken from others that she re-posts on her site.
 * The same concerns pertain to other fansites that engage in similar practices and to "derivative" material posted on them, including fan fiction sites. Some news sites and blogs that are self-published have related problems; there is a rather grey area relating to the use of them (see their "disclaimer" notices) as they are being cited throughout Wikipedia as well.  Some of these sites are well within U.S. and world copyright "fair use" exceptions to copyright laws; some are not.  I don't know if Wikipedia has fully taken rapidly-changing contexts for such sites into account.  The YouTube situation is a case in point, and that too seems to be rather in flux.  One cannot link to YouTube videos that infringe on copyrights either.  That is a related matter that I won't go into here.  One can find discussions of it elsewhere in Wikiepedia; see, e.g., short mention in WP:EL (courtesy of User:Crockspot, where we had some previous discussion pertaining to another article, which is now in archive 14 of my talk page). The issue that pertains to the deletions of this and other fansites is "the prohibition on linking to pages that violate intellectual property rights," a policy statement in WP:COPYRIGHT and elsewhere linked in Wikipedia, including via WP:V linked at WP:BLP: for a convenient list of such Wikipedia policies, see "Category:Wikipedia official policy" (won't print if I use Wikipedia internal link), which is one of the categories listed in both: try List of policies.  --NYScholar 00:24, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

 * In the talk page of WP:EL I've suggested a brief addition to the current policy to red-flag fan sites for copyright violations. --Mantanmoreland 02:18, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Prohibition on "self-published" ("unofficial") websites being used as a "source about a living person, including as an external link"
[I have posted the following in Wikipedia talk:External links and am also posting it here fyi] I returned to post the clearest reference that I can find in WP:BLP to this matter: "Material from self-published books, zines, websites, and blogs should never be used as a source about a living person, including as an external link, unless written or published by the subject of the article (See below). (Italics and bold added.)" That policy statement explicitly prohibits from listing as "an external link" self-published websites "unless written or published by the subject of the article," which prohibits "unofficial websites" not "written or published by their subjects." As I read that policy in WP:BLP it refers to fansites such as David Strathairn Online and other similar "unofficial websites" which are not "written and published" (or authorized and endorsed as "official") by their subjects. In my view, that policy statement is very clear and not ambiguous, just as are the policies already cited pertaining to not linking as external links webpages with copyright infringements (see earlier discussions above). There are clear links to WP:BLP in the talk pages of articles that are considered biographies of living persons in Wikipedia, including David Strathairn (which is just one example of an article in which these issues arose). [updated as a separate subsection]. --NYScholar 20:02, 11 August 2007 (UTC) [Please note: I do not have time to discuss these matters any further. Please consult the information already linked on my talk page if one needs to find additional sources relating to copyright matters pertaining to Wikipedia (discussed earlier). Thank you.] [Updated.] --NYScholar 20:02, 11 August 2007 (UTC) [Reposted here. --NYScholar 20:38, 11 August 2007 (UTC)]
 * See WP:BLP:

Fair use rationale for Image:Gngl.jpg

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use.

Shouldn't these be more than just resumes?
I know it's natural to think the an article about a person should just be life facts, but an article about an actor or an artist should be willing to say something about what that person special and/or what has accounted for their success. This is especially true for an actor with Strathairn's special touch and I miss that kind of discussion in these pieces. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:644:600:1D90:F9E3:F1D4:5C49:B8E2 (talk) 00:56, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Joe Vitale Jr.

Joseph James Vitale (born July 2, 1977) is an American rock artist, musician, singer, songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, cinematographer, film director and the principal songwriter and leader of the alternative rock band, Ravenwood, which he founded in 2010. His first commercial release was the 2008 album "Dancing With Shadows" under the record label Vari Loud Records. His first release under Ravenwood was the 2018 single "Don't Let Go", also under the label Vari Loud Records & features a guitar solo by guitarist Neil Zaza. He also a member of the rock band, The Vinyl Machine made up of the band members who actually played on the hit songs that the band performs.

In a musical career spanning over 22 years, Joe Vitale Jr., like his father, drummer Joe Vitale (musician), has performed with some top names in the business as well as his own released material.

Vitale was the digital audio engineer on the 2005 album Man Alive, by Stephen Stills. Vitale's work on the song "Feed the People" won Stephen Stills a humanitarian award from UNICEF. Vitale has also worked with the Jimi Hendrix Foundation and Stephen Stills on previously unreleased material.

Early life
Joseph James Vitale was born July 2, 1977, in Canton, Ohio. He started playing drums at age 12, learning from Phil Zampino, who Vitale's father Joe VItale (musician) had taught. He learned to play additional instruments including guitar, analog synthesizers and sing.

Before pursuing music as a career, Vitale wanted to be an astronaut, even getting to meet several astronauts and getting to go behind the scenes at NASA in Houston.

Vitale describes the moment that he decided to become a musician was when he was asked to play tambourine on Teach Your Children with Crosby Stills & Nash in 1988 at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio in front of 19,000 people at age 10.

Beginnings
Joe Vitale Jr started his professional career in 1994 when asked to perform drums on stage for Joe Walsh when the keyboardist didn't make it and Vitale's father, who normally played drums for Walsh, was asked to fill in for the missing keyboardist.

In 1998, Vitale was asked to play percussion on the Stephen Stills Blues Tour that year which led to being asked to perform with Crosby Stills & Nash on the 1999 Caesar Casino Tour.

Solo career
In 2000, Vitale decided to become a recording artist, not just a side musician. Vitale released his first commercial LP album "Dancing With Shadows" (2008). Soon After, Vitale released several additional singles and albums. Vitale currently performs both with a full band and solo.

Ravenwood
In 2010, Joe Vitale Jr started a new alternative rock band called Ravenwood. In 2018, Ravenwood released it's first commercial single release "Don't Let Go." In 2020, due to the pandemic, Ravenwood then released it's second commercial single, "We're All in This Together" which was reviewed by A&R Factory and Crack Wise Magazine. The release of the full length album "Ravenous" was covered by the Canton Repository Newspaper.

Joe Walsh
Vitale performed on the 1994 Joe Walsh tour filling in on drums in Columbus, Ohio for the Ohio State Fair and at the Naval base in Norfolk, Virginia. Vitale's father, Joe Vitale was asked to play keyboards on most of the shows because the keyboard player never arrived.

Stephen Stills Blues Band
Vitale performed on percussion for the Stephen Stills Blues Band tour in 1998. They performed in Biloxi, Mississippi and Tunica (formerly Robinsonville), Mississippi with the start of the tour. Vitale performed on several Stephen Stills tour between (1998 - 2001).

Crosby, Stills & Nash
In 1999, Vitale performed on the Crosby, Stills & Nash tour in Atlantic City, Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe.

Joe Vitale Jr
Vitale began working on his solo album, "Dancing With Shadows", in 2000 & released in 2008. Mr. Vitale was also selected to perform at the national 2023 BMI Island Hopper Songwriter Fest held in Fort Myers, Florida in September of that year.

Ravenwood
Vitale's personal band, Ravenwood, is a alternative rock band based in Akron, Ohio. The band's inception dates back as early as 2010. Their first commercially released LP was in May of 2021 titled "Ravenous" Ravenwood released it's second commercially released second album titled "Unsympathetic Vibrations" on March 3rd, 2023. In the summer of 2023, Ravenwood got it's major break by performing at the 2023 Alive Music Festival in Mineral City, Ohio on July 14th, 2023. Vitale's band, Ravenwood, was also chosen that year to headline the inaugural Downtown Canton Music Fest replacing the long time national Canton Blues Festival.

Donnie Iris & the Cruisers
In the summer of 2021, Vitale began playing drums for Donnie Iris & the Cruisers as their back up drummer.

The Vinyl Machine / Joe Vitale's All Star Band
In the fall of 2021, Vitale began working with the group, "The Vinyl Machine" a rock band consisting of musicians who have performed with the top names in the business.

Stephen Stills
Vitale was the digital audio editor on the 2005 Stephen Stills album Man Alive which led to working on several other Stephen Stills albums & recording projects Just Roll Tape (2007) and being the chief editing & mixing engineer for Live at Shepherd's Bush (2009).

Jimi Hendrix Foundation
Through his work on subsequent projects, Vitale additionally worked on previously unreleased material of Jimi Hendrix & Stephen Stills working with Hendrix producer Eddie Kramer and The Jimi Hendrix Foundation.

Radio personality
Vitale had a radio career in 2013 on the Canton, Ohio radio station WNPQ The Light 95.9FM with his show Joe Vitale Jr.'s Sound Factory. It was a 1-hour weekly program featuring local Christian musicians as well as nationals.

Results of the 1872 New South Wales colonial election

The 1872 New South Wales colonial election was for 72 members representing 60 electoral districts. The election was conducted on the basis of a simple majority or first-past-the-post voting system. In this election there were 8 multi-member districts returning 20 members and 52 single member districts. In the multi-member districts each elector could vote for as many candidates as there were vacancies. 12 districts were uncontested.

There were three districts that did not have a residential or property qualification, Goldfields North (1,500), Goldfields South (2,500) and Goldfields West (16,000). The average number of enrolled voters per seat in the other districts was 1,839 ranging from The Paterson (600) to The Lachlan (4,355). The electoral boundaries were established under the Electoral Act 1858 (NSW).

Portal talk:Perl

I'm surely not the best "teacher" for Perl around here, but I would like to get the ball rolling. I went ahead and wrote a casual Introduction to Perl, including a link to Perl.org which I shall start a page about as a local resource for building the project and gathering materials.

If you wish to learn or teach Perl, make suggestions about organizing the topic, what to include or how to proceed, just jump on in here. Be sure to get yourself enrolled! CQ 20:16, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Programming:Perl at Wikibooks
Programming:Perl at Wikibooks looks like a fairly valient effort to build a reference for helping learn and teach perl. It was made by several contributors and has had reasonably recent activity. I'm not crazy about the way it flows, but it should definately be given some credence by this project. Perhaps we can import the Wikibook to Wikiversity and refactor it a bit. Please have a look and comment here.

Links to Perl docs at search.cpan.org
The references section had an apparent wish list of perl documentation. I made links to the references sections on search.cpan.org, which is a site that displays current CPAN modules and documentation.

I have not added all the docs that appear in "perldoc perl". I can after confirming this is what the topic participants would like to do. Ikluft 22:34, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

 * OK, that got no complaints. And I was even welcomed as a new user. :-)  I added the rest of the "perldoc perl" page links for Perl 5.8.8. Ikluft 11:39, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

CPAN modules for Wikiversity Perl training
Since part of the power of Perl is the breadth of classes available on CPAN, I had the idea to make CPAN modules named Wikiversity::Something for each lesson. An introductory lesson would have to start with building and installing CPAN modules. Then we start requiring our own Wikiversity-specific modules out of CPAN in order for students to run code samples or test exercises for successful results. This can be used as the foundation of all the Wikiversity Perl training. It provides the student with positive reinforcement that their code has met the requirements of an exercise. Ikluft 08:55, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, I added the first page to use this idea at Perl Modules on CPAN. I uploaded to CPAN a corresponding Perl module Wikiversity::Hello for this lesson. Ikluft 12:46, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Adding a good Beginner's Book
I purchased the Camel Book to try to teach myself Perl (Programming Perl) and found it a little bit daunting and hard to access as a first-time Perl user/programmer. As such, I spent a lot of time trying to find better "First-Timer" Perl books and stumbled upon this one. So far its been the best book I've found regarding learning the basics of Perl. To the best of my knowledge it is an "open book" and can therefore be referenced and linked to without restriction. Nonetheless, I wanted to get some other folk's take on if it is appropriate to reference another author's work and, if so, where I should post the link to the pdf files or website. (Also, if this book already exists somewhere on wikiversity then I didn't want to double post it). Any thoughts regarding a reference materials section and this particular addition to it? BJ Covert Action 18:42, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Thank you for telling me about that book. Simon Cozens's book looks excellent.

 * It is always appropriate to reference another author's relevant work, whether or not that work is "open". A person who does not reference the source of his information may be committing plagiarism, whether or not that source is "open". It is mandatory to have references, even when the work referenced is non-open and non-free, according to the Wikipedia:WP:SAYWHEREYOUGOTIT guideline and Wikipedia:WP:SOURCEACCESS policy. I assume that Wikiversity guidelines and policies are similar.
 * Sir Tim Berners-Lee (the one who invented the World Wide Web) has a few things to say on whether it is "appropriate" to link to some other web site at "Links and Law: Myths".
 * I think the Wikiversity "Perl.org" resource looks like a good place to link to that book. Alternatively, or perhaps in addition, any page where you add information you got from that book, you could add a footnote to a "References" section at the bottom of the page, using the FAQ/Editing mechanism, perhaps in combination with Template:Reflist -- see Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Reflist for many examples.
 * Where is any page at the Wikiversity that suggests that it is ever inappropriate for me to reference or link to the source where I got my information? --DavidCary 20:02, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Code/Projects Database?
If there is one thing I have figured out over my years of programming its that you can't truly learn (or teach) a programming language without actually using the language extensively. One of the problems I've always had when learning a new language is trying to come up with different applications/routines/projects that I could program to help develop my skills. I wonder if it would be helpful to people learning Perl to have a projects or assignments database somewhere in the Perl category which just lists ideas for fun/cool/useful things that a new beginner could try to code up in Perl. Of course, there are various examples in most books, but there is nothing quite as fun and fulfilling as being given a task that says:

"Design a program that _____'s" and then having to figure it out for yourself.

Perhaps if we started posting project ideas we could start tagging them with labels like beginner, intermediate, and advanced? BJ Covert Action 18:48, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Jerome Monroe Smucker

Jerome Monroe Smucker (December 5, 1858 – March 20, 1948) was an American farmer and entrepreneur who founded The J.M. Smucker Company food and beverage firm in 1897, starting out selling apple butter from the back of a horse-drawn wagon. He was of Swiss descent.

Biography
Smucker, born in Wayne County, Ohio was the son of Ohio Mennonite farmers Gideon and Magadalena (Zook) Smucker. Jerome Smucker’s descended from immigrants who left Switzerland named Schmucker in the 1750s. He built the family business to four farms and a creamery, while spending his evenings tutoring his neighbors in good penmanship. When he added a cider mill in 1897, Smucker's first batch of apples came from some of Johnny Appleseed's original orchards. To extend sales of apple products year-round, Smucker began manufacturing apple butter from an old family recipe, and it soon became his most popular product. Smucker's began listing the ingredients of its many jams and jellies years before it was required by law, and the business was incorporated in 1921. The company's namesake died in 1948, but the business is still family-owned, and still headquartered in Jerome Smucker's hometown of Orrville, Ohio.

On March 23, 1890, Smucker married Ella M. Yoder, of Bristol, Ind., who predeceased him on March 6, 1933. Early in life he accepted Christ as his Savior and united with the Oak Grove Mennonite Church near Smithville, Ohio, later becoming a charter member of the Orrville Mennonite Church.

He was an active Christian worker, serving the Sunday school as teacher and superintendent for many years. He was also greatly interested in the educational and missionary activities of the church, supporting the work through his prayers and liberal giving. He was a lifelong resident of the Orrville community, where he attained prominence by founding the manufacturing company which bears his name. Funeral services were held at the Oak Grove Church on March 23, in charge of V. M. Gerig and I. W. Royer. Interment was made in the Crown Hill Cemetery at Orrville.

The distinctive surname was originally Schmucker, when Smucker's great-great-grandfather came to America from Switzerland in the 1700s. It was later spelled Smoker for about two generations, before the family's forebears grew uncomfortable with a name that suggested tobacco use and took to spelling the name Smucker.

Smucker's great-great-grandson, Mark Smucker, has been CEO of The J.M. Smucker Company since 2016. Jerome's son Willard led to a significant expansion of the company in the 1950s and 1960s.

Introduction to ethics

The field of ethics deals with what is the right action or attitude towards others. How should one act in a certain situation?

Is it the right thing to do in life to simply follow the Golden Rule? "Do unto others as you would wish to have them do unto you." Prima facie, this seems perfectly acceptable. But, then, how should a masochist act to others? Should they go around and hurt others, since they would gain pleasure by being hurt?

The Three Branches
Ethics can be divided into three branches that have been developed and elaborated upon throughout the history of philosophy.

Deontology
Deontology focuses on the importance of the action itself, as opposed to the consequence. Immanual Kant (see Phil 4007) is the father of one of the most popular types of deontology, appropiately named Kantianism.

Kant's philosophy, and most deontology would most closely resemble the Golden Rule. Deontological ethical guidelines could be, for example, "Never lie," "Never steal," "Never kill," "Give to the poor," etc. Note that the emphasis is placed on the prohibition or encouragement of the action itself. The distinction will become clearer soon.

Virtue ethics
Virtue ethics, the least popular branch of ethics, attempt to instill certain qualities in the person. For example, "Be honest," "Be trustworthy," and "Be nice." The examples are not meant to be vague, but are meant to illustrate that the guidelines are rules more centrally for what kind of person you should be. From there, you can extrapolate likely actions and prohibitions: "An honest person does not lie," or, "A nice person does not hurt or insult his fellow men without proper justification."

Virtue ethics can be found in the teachings of Socrates(reference?) and Aristotle(reference?), who taught their pupils to live the good life through fostering these admirable virutes. In Plato's Republic, Socrates compares the virtues of a person to the composition of a state. The virtuous individual, he says, is temperate, passionate, brave, just and wise.

A recent return of virtue ethics since the 1960's has created a surfeit of apologists for this once-overlooked branch of ethics and given rise to the doctrine of Neo-Aristotelian and Neo-Socratic ethics.

Consequentialism
Consequentialism, as the name suggests, encourages actions based solely upon the consequences of the actions. The most popular form of consquentialism is utilitarianism. That is, the individual should act to create the greatest amount of "utility" for the community.

Jeremy Bentham is the father of "Classical" Utilitarianism, though Chinese philosophers had made reference to utility and David Hume was the first to use the word "utility" when decribing ethics.

Kantianism and the Nazis at the door
A popular critique of strict Kantianism — that is, "Never lie," — is that, if a person harboring Jews during the Holocaust was asked by a Nazi footman about the contents of his attic or cellar, he would have to answer that the was indeed hiding Jews. At least, if he was asked a direct question about the presence of any people, he would not be allowed to lie.

It should be noted that this is the strictest brand of Kantianism, and that many such revisions have since been made since Kant's original writings to the theory. For example, "Act in accordance with these rules unless it would lead to the harm of an individual."

Advanced Topics
Questions at the deeply critical level, such as "What do we mean by 'right' and 'good' and 'harm'?" are included in the field of meta-ethics (and value theory'). Meta-ethics can be thought to exist at a level above ethics, asking questions like, "What is ethics itself?"

Talk:Discrete Mathematics/Set theory

elements and members
Should the discussion under notation refer to the example number as an element of the set of a member of the set? ... LouI

 * I assume you mean to say that 3 is an element of the set or a member of the set? Yes, either terminology is acceptable...thank you for jogging my memory :)
 * If that's not what you meant, please clarify, as I don't think I understand you correctly. Dysprosia 22:46, 13 Aug 2003 (UTC)

page moved
I have moved Set theory back to where it was before. Set theory is intended as a purely introductory text, and putting further higher level article links with Set theory disturbs the gradual nature of increase of difficulty as the articles will follow... I hope this is okay with everyone :) Dysprosia 10:27, 14 Aug 2003 (UTC)

questions / answers numbering
The numbering of the questions (section 2.6) doesn't make sense, and some of the answers don't seem to match the questions.

There was a stupid error (probably of mine :) that inserted a carriage return which mucked up the ordering of the numbers. It should be better now. Dysprosia 09:30, 8 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Venn diagrams
Shall I draw some ? If yes what would you like ? Theresa knott 14:42, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Don't ask it, do it. And put them here, too. The one you are asking if she/he would like you drawing pictures to may not look at this section never again. You cannot know. So go and do it (supposing that you know about what you are doing).

--<IP_ADDRESS> 21:20, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

ambiguity in section 2.4
I think that section 2.4 is a little unclear

the line reading

Now, B contains some elements of A, but not necessarily all.

could be interpreted to mean that B contains some elements of A in addition to some other elements (not belonging to A)

I suggest

Now, B is made up of elements of A, but not necessarily all

 * I've reworded it in a different way, so it's a bit more clear. Dysprosia 09:02, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

How about we say that B is a subset of A if every element of B is also an element of A? Or, equivalently, B doesn't have any elements that aren't also elements of A? (The formation with the double negative makes it clearer that the empty set is a subset of all sets.)

overstatement
"Note that :
 * $$\{x \in \mathbb{N}|\, ax^2+bx+c = 0\}$$

is a completely different set!"

Is a bit of an overstatement...it's actually a subset, not a completeley different set.

 * That is nitpicking a bit. The idea is still there. Though a different example might be called for. Dysprosia 09:15, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

problem set: proper subset
I changed the $$\subset$$ signs in problems 3 and 4 to $$\subseteq$$ signs. You can show that A $$\subset$$ B is false by showing that A = B in addition to showing that there is an element of A that is not in B.

problem set: no pun intended?

pointing
In the first paragraph, I changed "your pointing is called a set" to "what you are pointing to is called a set". A set consists of its members. A pointing consists of a (possibly metaphorical) extension of the index finger. Actually, there is a lot of pointing talk in this module that strikes me as a little troubling. Perhaps this should be changed.

(I also added titles to the first two comments of this talk page so the contents box would appear in the right place.)

set comprehension, problem 3
I'm kind of a newbie, so maybe I'm missing something obvious, but in number 3 the first set would start with 2, whereas the second set would start with 1 as the minimum value. Why are they equal?

Never mind, I got it. Duh.

Definitions of Union, Intersection and Difference
I have simplified the definitions of union and intersection, making them more consistent with the notation used in logic, and clarified the example of difference, where the definition referred to B - A, but the example showed A - B. Nigeltn35 (talk) 20:56, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

PS I'm new to using LaTeX. There must be an easier way of writing A - B to get the font and size right!Nigeltn35 (talk) 07:28, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Introductory Section and Notation
I've attempted a simple introduction, defining a set in terms of 'things' and 'rules'. Have included in the Notations section ∈ and ∉, and used simple text rather than LaTeX where possible. (IMHO LaTeX looks a bit naff in the default font size!) --Nigeltn35 (talk) 17:28, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Special Sets
Introduce these special sets before introducing relations between sets and operations on sets, so that an exercise can follow to allow consolidation of basic ideas. Nigeltn35 (talk) 20:17, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Russell's Paradox
As I understand it, this page is intended as introductory teaching material on Set Theory as part of a Discrete Maths book. Introducing Russell's paradox may be interesting as a bit of background material for Set Theory in general, but I don't really think that it belongs in this text at all. Is there anyone who would vote to keep it in? If not, I propose to remove it. (If anyone wants to keep it, I think it needs re-writing...) Nigeltn35 (talk) 12:01, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

I've finished editing for the time being
I seem to have pretty well completely re-written this stuff on Set Theory. No-one seems to have objected so far. As far as I'm concerned, it's fairly complete. At any rate it will provide a way in to Relations and Functions, Logic, etc. Does anyone else think there's more to do at this stage? If not, what happens to it now? Nigeltn35 (talk) 12:34, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Page now split into Four Sections
Following a warning message about the size of the file exceeding 32KB, I have split the text up into four sections: the original Set Theory page containing the first half of the teaching material, Page 2 (the remaining teaching material), Exercises and Answers. Nigeltn35 (talk) 12:06, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Euler diagrams
Venn diagrams are a special case of Euler diagrams, and half of the diagrams in the Venn diagrams section are not Venn diagrams. Some of the instruction also shows how to convert a Venn diagram to a simpler Euler diagram, though it does not use this terminology.

For those who don't know the difference, an Euler diagram may or may not show intersections between sets which are empty, and if an region of exclusivity or intersection between sets is not shown then this is an assertion that the region is empty. For example, if set A is circumscribed by set B, this indicates that all members of A are also members of B. In some cases, Euler diagrams assert that regions which are shown must be non-empty, or at least it is not yet known whether the region is empty.

A Venn diagram is a special case of an Euler diagram that must show all possible intersections and exclusions. So there is only one Venn diagram for three sets (a token of this diagram is shown in Figure 4), but there are many possible Euler diagrams for three sets (in general, 2^2^(n-1) for n sets).

Humberto Schiavoni

Humberto Schiavoni (born 10 July 1958) is an Argentine lawyer and politician. He is National Senator for Misiones province and he leads Republican Proposal in the upper house of National Congress of Argentina.

Biography
He was born in Posadas, Misiones. He graduated as a lawyer at the University of Buenos Aires.

Political career
In 1983 he returns to Misiones after graduation and starts his political activism in the Integration and Development Movement (MID).

In 1987 MID appeared in the provincial Missions elections in an alliance with the Justicialist Party. The formula Julio César Humada (PJ) - José Piro (MID) wins the election and two years later Schiavoni is appointed Undersecretary of Economics. Its management carried out deep economic reforms in tune with the government of Carlos Menem: the Bank of Missions, the Insurance Institute, and Missionary Paper were privatized; In some locations, the drinking water and sewer service was concessioned, and a hydroelectric dam was put into operation under a private concession.

The following elections (1991 and 1995) are also won by the PJ, with Ramón Puerta as candidate. Under his government, Schiavoni joins the peronism and was appointed Minister of Economy and Public Works between 1998 and 1999

Then he was the Cabinet Coordinating Minister of the new peronist Missions Governor, Carlos Rovira.

On December 21, 2001, after the resignation of President Fernando de la Rúa, he was appointed by Ramón Puerta, as Chief of the Cabinet of Ministers for two days.

Schiavoni is appointed president of the Yacyretá Binational Entity, between 2002 and 2003 under the presidency of Eduardo Duhalde.

Between 2005 and 2007 he was elected Councilor of the city of Posadas.

After the election of Mauricio Macri as Chief of Government of Buenos Aires in 2007, Schiavoni is appointed director of the Corporation Buenos Aires Sur S.E., until 2015.

In 2012, he was elected President of the National Council of PRO and Macri charged him with the mission of organizing a Republican Proposal nationwide until 2020.

Why did you reformat all the citations and remove useful links?
I'm going to edit the citations. Please take note. --MopTop (talk) 16:00, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

Okay, I edited the citations so that they include links to the source material and use ref names that make sense so you can remember what's what when you're editing. I also made some other small changes; see MOS:SURNAME and MOS:Headings. I removed one sentence that was not cited and not about John Coburn; it seemed like it was added for the sake of adding text. --MopTop (talk) 17:49, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
