Wikiversity:Reliable sources

Wikiversity pages should cite reliable published sources whenever possible. Sometimes it might be suitable to cite scholarly peer-reviewed research that has been performed at Wikiversity. This page provides guidance about how to identify these kinds of sources and distinguish them from unreliable sources. The policy page that discusses the need to use sources is Verifiability.

If you can provide useful information to Wikiversity, please do so, but bear in mind that edits for which no reliable references are provided may be removed to corresponding talk pages for discussion. The responsibility for finding and adding references lies with the person adding material, and sources should be provided whenever possible.

Wikiversity has many learning communities that are devoted to study of particular subjects. Each scholarly discipline has standards for judging the reliability of sources. As a Wikiversity participant, you should learn about the scholarly practices that are used in the study of topics that are of interest to you. When you contribute to Wikiversity pages, cite sources that are considered to be reliable by experts who publish in peer-reviewed sources.

Comparison to Wikipedia
What follows is a description of Wikipedia's best practices. Many articles may fall short of this standard until editors devote time and effort to fact-checking (see Wikipedia:Reliable sources; efforts to identify reliable sources). In the meantime, readers can still benefit from your contributions, bearing in mind that unsourced edits, or edits relying on inappropriate sources, may be challenged and removed at any time. Sometimes it is better to have no information at all than to have information without sources.

Peel (tactic)

A peel (sometimes nicknamed an Australian peel or Aussie Peeloff ) is a type of retreat conducted by infantry which allows them to maintain effective defensive suppressive fire while retreating. Though generally considered a modern-day infantry technique, the concept dates back to Greek and Roman times. This particular tactic is more specifically designed for situations where smaller groups of infantry withdraw from an engagement of a much larger force.

Types of peel
A peel begins with an infantry element deciding to disengage from contact with an opposing force. The soldiers begin by using suppressing fire to delay the enemy's attack and advance. Upon issuance of the verbal command to initiate the peel, the infantryman closest to the enemy, in the opposite direction of the intended post-peel movement, ceases fire and works his way behind the element towards the other side, takes a position beyond from the farthest soldier on this side in the direction of disengagement, and resumes suppressing fire. Then, the process repeats until the party has safely disengaged the target. One specific type of peel is a center peel, in which the retreat is conducted in between two files of the squad in column formation, allowing for the squad to conduct effective suppressive fire to the flanks. The center peel is typically used when linear terrain features dictate that the element must move in column formation, or when the squad unexpectedly makes contact while in a column formation.

References in film and literature
The center peel tactic was demonstrated in the final gunfight of the 2003 movie, Tears of the Sun, where Lieutenant Waters (Bruce Willis) directs his men away from a significantly larger group of aggressive Nigerian troops.

This tactic was also shown in episode 6 of season 2 of the Amazon Prime show, Jack Ryan, where a small group of 3 soldiers were ambushed in a ravine.

The peel tactic can also be seen in the 1995 film Heat as the LAPD intercept the heist crew as they are leaving the bank.

MIPS Assembly

The MIPS microprocessor paradigm was created in 1981 from work done by J. L. Hennessy at Stanford University. Since that time, the MIPS paradigm has been so influential that nearly every modern-day processor family makes some use of the concepts derived from that original research. This book will discuss the MIPS architecture and (perhaps more importantly) MIPS assembly programming.

Query origin of recipe
The article states ''ANZAC biscuits were originally invented in the trenches of WWI, on the Gallipoli front. Troops from the Australia/New Zealand Army Corps (hence ANZAC) developed the biscuits out of the meagre rations that they had.'' Is there a source for this info? Not even the war memorial claims this. --Golden Wattle 19:45, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

The assertion was added by an anon in December 2005 --Golden Wattle 19:51, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

 * It sounds like that may be an urban myth, reading the Wikipedia page about the biscuit. Certainly, it is taken for granted in NZ and Australia that these biscuits are related to the ANZAC effort in WWI, however. I think the article could do with revising, but without losing reference to the ANZACs. Webaware talk 22:48, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

User:NCHE1776

The National Council for History Education is a non-profit corporation whose Board of Trustees is dedicated to promoting the importance of history in schools and in society. The Council is supported by the contributions of individuals and organizations. NCHE links history in the schools with many activities sponsored by state and local organizations. We provide a communications network for all advocates of history education, whether in schools, colleges, museums, historical councils, or community groups.

For more information read our mission statement below.

All who teach history, anywhere along the line from Grade One to graduate seminars, have a friend: the National Council for History Education, founded in 1990 as the successor organization to the Bradley Commission on History in Schools. Until then, we had no equivalent to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the National Council for Geographic Education, or the other discipline-based advocacy groups that bring school and university people together to tackle all the issues that concern them--from curricular design, K to Ph.D., through state, local, and university standards and requirements, teacher education, certification, and professional development, to the implications of the assessment movement, of new technologies, and of school re-structuring.

Each of these issues was directly addressed in 1988 by the 32-page Bradley Commission report, Building a History Curriculum: Guidelines for Teaching History in Schools (revised 2nd Edition © 2000). Each has become more urgent, carrying all kinds of chances for good or bad outcomes, with the emergence of GOALS 2000, the governors' National Educational Goals Panel, the National Council on Standards and Testing, and the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. Add to these the recurrent American love affair with math, science, technology, and "job-training" as quick fixes for the country's problems. And add on top the needless quarrels among ourselves over diversity vs. commonality, social vs. political, chronology vs. post-holing, "active" vs. "passive" learning, and we historians have, as they say, a full plate before us.

The special prescience of the Bradley Commission on all of these questions was largely due to its diverse membership: historians and classroom teachers of so many different backgrounds, persuasions, and professional experiences. Its special, overriding message, repeated by the National Commission on the Social Studies in its 1989 report, Charting a Course, was the need for much more time in the social studies curriculum, to liberate teachers to offer a better kind of history.

More time, of course, cures nothing by itself, though our opponents love to pretend we think so and that all we want is to force helpless students to "memorize more facts". What, in fact, we do think is what every teacher already knows: that more time is plainly indispensable to learning better history. So what exactly is the "new" and better history that justifies fundamental changes in the conventional social studies curriculum, and probably even bigger changes in the graduate and undergraduate education of those who teach history at any level?

The National Council for History Education, carrying the message from the Bradley Commission and the National Commission on the Social Studies, is pressing for all teachers to be given the chance to offer the sort of history that only a minority have been lucky enough to offer up to now, in courses that:

1. combine an analytical, chronological narrative with frequent pauses for studies in depth, neither of which can do without the insights of the other.

2. deal constantly with the relation between fact and concept, neither of which educates without the other.

3. carry significant, compelling themes and questions from the start of United States and world history down to the present day, frequently responding to the students' challenge: "So what?" 4. demonstrate the interdependence of history and the social sciences, by teaching the concepts of the latter in dramatic historical context. 5. demonstrate the interdependence of history and the humanities, by concurrent studies of literature, philosophy, and the arts. 6. are pluralist, multicultural, inclusive of people of all kinds and conditions in whatever society is under study. 7. provide a sophisticated understanding of the origins, the advances and defeats, the worldwide adventures of the democratic ideas that bind us together as one people. 8. offer many chances for active learning, inquiry and the development of critical, historical habits of the mind. 9. are taught by a wide diversity of pedagogical methods, of the teacher's own choice and design.

On this broad ground, all but a few of those who debate the history/social studies curriculum can come together. Who can still pretend that single-year United States or world history courses, madly rushing from the Ice Age to the Spring prom, allow teachers to do these things? Only more time will let us sweep aside the false conflicts between multicultural and a common civic education, between "memorized" and "issue-oriented" history, between "elite" political history and "egalitarian" social history. And on current issues, only more time can let teachers make clear, for example, that most of the nation's ills are rooted in historical choices and priorities, not to be waved away by a little more math and "work-related" schooling. The National Council for History Education, then, bases its campaign for history on the recommendations of the Bradley and National Commissions. The Council is eager to collaborate with anyone promoting the cause of history. But it is the only comprehensive national organization forthrightly arguing for history as the continuing core of the social studies throughout the grades, integrated with geography and civic instruction, as is the case in other modern democratic nations. We intend to campaign for this in every state and school district in the country.

We believe that the social sciences and current issues, both domestic and global, are best studied in historical context and perspective. We believe that historical study is the precondition for intelligent political and personal judgment and that, in turn, such judgment is the absolute precondition for the political power of the citizen, and the private self-fulfillment of the person. Familiar notions, no doubt, but their implications call for a fundamental reordering of the American curriculum from grade school to graduate school.

It is the mission of the National Council for History Education to see that this happens--not as a top-down imposition, but out of the collaboration of scholars and teachers across all levels of schooling, working together as equals who educate each other at every step of the way.

In Support of History

- NCHE supports history as the core of the social studies in the schools and links it to many pro-history forces and organizations in the profession and the community. American children cannot afford to enter the 21st century ignorant of everything that preceded their own time and ignorant of the history and culture of other nations. An education in history prepares youngsters to understand not only their own society but other societies and civilizations around the world. - NCHE speaks vigorously to policy-makers about the importance of providing enough time in the curriculum for both world and U.S. history and adequate support for good teaching and materials. NCHE encourages regular communication between those who teach history in the schools and those who promote history in the community. - NCHE links history in the schools with many activities sponsored by state and local organizations. It provides a communications network for all advocates of history education, whether in schools, colleges, museums, historical societies, humanities councils, or community organizations. - NCHE membership consists of individuals, not organizations. Members include historians and history teachers, school administrators, authors, publishers, historical association and historical museum personnel, history buffs, in short, anyone who loves history.

The Love You Make

The Love You Make: An Insider's Story of the Beatles is a 1983 book by Peter Brown and Steven Gaines. Brown was personal assistant to the Beatles' manager, Brian Epstein, a senior executive at Apple Corps, as well as best man to John Lennon at the latter's wedding to Yoko Ono in March 1969.

Book content
In a 1983 interview, Peter Brown said that, having turned down all previous offers to share his recollections of the Beatles, he had decided to write a book in 1979 because of the many inaccurate accounts that had been published. He said he contacted the four former band members that year, and that they each agreed "it was a good idea to do a definitive book once and for all and get it all over [with]; then we could forget about it."

The Love You Make covers the period from the Beatles' teenage years, through Beatlemania and the group's break-up, until after Lennon's murder in December 1980. A large portion of the text is devoted to Lennon and Epstein, particularly to the latter's homosexuality. Brown presents an at-times unflattering picture of the individual Beatles; he depicts Lennon as lacking in kindness, belittles George Harrison's quest for spiritual enlightenment, and portrays Paul McCartney as self-serving and insincere. In his overview of the most popular books about the group, in The Rough Guide to the Beatles, Chris Ingham writes that Brown's account focuses on "the seamier side of The Beatles' story" and was viewed as being "nothing short of betrayal" by the surviving former band members.

Publication
The Love You Make was published in the United States in February 1983. Late in January, as a result of one of Brown's revelations, the British tabloid The Sun published an article about McCartney having fathered an illegitimate child in 1964 – a story about which the press had long been aware but had previously lacked corroboration. After Brown sent a copy of his book to Paul and Linda McCartney, the couple ceremoniously burnt it, with Linda photographing the event.

According to author and critic Kenneth Womack, the book attracted "considerable controversy" due to its "unvarnished, gossip-laden narrative about the Beatles' private lives", a reaction that he likens to that created by Albert Goldman's 1988 biography The Lives of John Lennon. Beatles fans took to calling Brown's book The Muck You Rake. Its accuracy has been challenged by another former Beatles insider, Ken Mansfield, in his 2000 memoir The Beatles, the Bible and Bodega Bay.

The Love You Make was reissued in 2002 by New American Library, with minor revisions and a foreword by Rolling Stone journalist Anthony DeCurtis. Speaking to New York magazine, Brown explained his decision to re-publish, saying that he had read a review of the Beatles Anthology book that mentioned "other Beatle books and not mine. And I got pissed off."

Critical reception
In a contemporary review, People magazine described the book as "Fabulous, revolting and depressing by turns" and "hard to ignore", saying that it "rank[s] in breadth if not malodorous spirit" with Goldman's 1981 biography of Elvis Presley, Elvis. The reviewer concluded: "The Love You Make is about an entire generation's loss of innocence – the Beatles lost theirs long ago, and their fans, at least those who believe Brown and Gaines' version of events – can lose theirs now." Kirkus Reviews considered the book "long, unfocused" and written in "sleazily faceless journalese", adding: "Throughout, the preoccupation is with the Beatles' private lives (women, drugs), with the neurotic miseries of homosexual manager Epstein, and with business deals; the music is secondary at best." The writer continued: "The attempts at psychological insight are hackneyed, the tone is alternately muckraking and platitudinous. So, though some readers will appreciate the petty anecdotes and tacky details here, most will want to stick with Philip Norman's Shout! …"

New Yorker journalist Mark Hertsgaard described The Love You Make as a "kiss-and-tell recounting of the Beatles story", although he noted that the authors' claims regarding an alleged longstanding homosexual relationship between Epstein and Lennon were "less salacious and sweeping" than Goldman's later statements in The Lives of John Lennon. Publishers Weekly welcomed the 2002 reissue, saying that Brown "recreates the well-known saga of Beatlemania but does it dispassionately enough to make it interesting". While noting that much of the content had become "pretty familiar", the reviewer admired it as "a dramatically good story and Brown catches us with the headiness of it all".

Authors Stuart Shea and Robert Rodriguez criticise Brown for the inaccuracy of his account, which included recollections of episodes "he could not possibly have been privy to", and for exaggerating his importance in the Beatles' history. According to Shea and Rodriguez, the former Beatles aide and his co-author were "clearly more interested in selling books than presenting a balanced, accurate portrait … Brown certainly would not have dared to present such salacious pap in John Lennon's lifetime and market it as an 'insider's story.'" Chris Ingham similarly considers that Lennon and Epstein "would undoubtedly have felt let down" by Brown's book.

Talk:Rex Reed

Village Voice article was a parody
In the article that lists his reviews of four movies, insulting the originating countries' cuisine, only the first item (from the Oldboy review), was real - the rest were parodies. Google searches on phrases from the other three reviews return no meaningful hits, and this Gawker post confirms it. Korny O'Near 19:09, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Miami Vice controversy
Is this even a controversy, or better yet: is it even notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia? So a guy got his feet stuck: who cares? I've done that, too. Besides, a blogger isn't exactly a recommended source. I've removed this information per this edit but invite others to discuss otherwise if they feel that the info should be included. -- Bossi  ( talk • gallery • contrib ) 18:48, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Oldboy Review
As an editor with strong interest in Korea, I found Reed's review of Oldboy to be racist and ignorant both of Korean culture and cinema, and of American culture and cinema. (I do plan to put it into the Oldboy article as good example of ignorant film-reviewing.) However, I question whether the review warrants an entire section in his biography. If the editors of this article feel it does, HERE is an article that puts his review (and its cultural ignorance) into some perspective. Regards. Dekkappai (talk) 03:14, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Link was dead, but I found an archive copy because I was interested to see what made BFI Sight and Sound magazine weigh in on the matter. Interesting article, but it is a broader examination of American critical perceptions of Korean films. It says that in their reviews of Old Boy Mahnola Dargis attacked the from above, and "Rex Reed struck from below", and that's the only mention of Reed so not relevant enough. -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:17, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Frank
Should this be in the controversy section:

http://www.lettersofnote.com/2011/06/youre-schmuck.html

<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:27, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
 * In 1974 Reed wrote a nasty review about Frank Sinatra and Jerry Lewis wrote a letter in reponse. I'm not sure it should be included either unless the quality of the whole controversies section is improved but it does go to show Rex Reed has been doing this sort of thing for a long time and his sometimes nasty comments are nothing new. -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:13, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Salon.com article Rex Reed: A career of offensiveness makes it clear that he has a history of controversy and lists a few examples. His comments against Marisa Tomei seem particularly unfair (and here the source of Ebert saying Rex Reed owes Marisa Tomei an apology). -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:27, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

cabin in the woods
the cabin in the woods section is pretty much OR right now. I didn't take it out because his review is getting media coverage that comes to the same conclusion, but it will need to be rewritten or at least sourced (citing the review itself as an example of how the review is controversial is nonsensical). Here's something to get you started and move this article back toward an encyclopedia and away from a raging facebook post: http://www.thelmagazine.com/TheMeasure/archives/2012/04/12/how-i-lost-my-respect-for-rex-reed http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/tag/rex-reed-is-an-idiot http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/12/cabin-in-the-woods-spoilers-village-voice-observer_n_1419326.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mike-ryan/the-cabin-in-the-woods-25-questions_b_1420590.html

Wickedjacob (talk) 18:44, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
 * nothing here supports that criticism of Reed's review of Cabin in the Woods deserves special attention. I can find numerous similar incidents of complaints of Reed and all other major movie reviewers. Major movie reviewers get these kinds of complaints all the time. There is no reason to include this one over any of the others. Also, it is Cabin in the Woods that Reed reviewed, not Citizen Kane. BashBrannigan (talk) 17:36, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I disagree but not worth the battle. Wickedjacob (talk) 17:40, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

It's your favorite movie isn't reason for inclusion
There's an obvious trend in this article for editors adding reviews of movies by Reed for which someone has criticized. The problem with this is that every review by Reed has received criticism from someone. In the time I've been monitoring this article there's been at least three: Cabin in the Woods, Old Boy and just now Identity Thief. Bias is at play here as editors are selectively adding negative reactions for movies that mean something personal to them. However, criticism of individual reviews is par for the course for reviewers and not at all notable. It's a pain in the neck to explain to editors this and the solution might be to just let editors add them at will and eventually it will become absurd as the article is filled with them. BashBrannigan (talk) 04:03, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Well, I do think there should only be a few reviews that are notable enough. Unless there are way more major controversies that have happened than his reviews of Oldboy and Identity Thief, then I think they can stay. He respectively insults a nation and a famous actress. These reviews aren't about his opinions on the films themselves and what the plots are.--EclecticEnnui (talk) 05:18, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

 * I see your point that the criticism isn't directly related to the film itself and in that case an argument could be made to include. But I think it could get out of hand as Reed has a reputation for inflammatory reviews. I think I'll just let these go and see how many are added. BashBrannigan (talk) 05:29, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

The reason not to have controversey sections
They become dumping grounds for slow news day items. If his recent review turns into anything larger, maybe revisit in 6 months to a year. --Malerooster (talk) 01:19, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I removed the stuff about Tomei. One site is dead and the other confirms that this is gossip/rumor material. --Malerooster (talk) 13:14, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I've restored the text about Marisa Tomei and Reed claiming her Academy Award was a mistake. If you make any effort to look there's no shortage of sources about the urban legend, and Reed in particular perpetuating it, and Roger Ebert calling him out saying he owes Tomei an apology. -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:54, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

"Life"
The first section, "Life," that follows the Table of Contents recounts at length Reed's shoplifting arrest and subsequent dismissed case. The section has little additional information other than his birthplace, and where he presently lives. The section preceeds the article's lengthy description of his long career and controversies.

Even if he had been convicted of a minor crime such as stealing a few CDs, I don't think the placement of the incident at the top of the article would be warranted. The fact that the case was dismissed makes this placement an even more dubious proposition.

Reed has had a long career. One alleged shoplifting charge of under $100 in merchandise is a small footnote to the arc of his life; not its most significant event. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 10:57, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Sexual orientation
Isn't Reed gay? I noticed that any references to his sexuality were removed from the article and that he is no longer listed under any categories pertaining to one's sexuality. Is there a reason for this change? TheRealFolkBloos  Talk to my owner:Online 00:58, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure, but there is no direct source which states that, so it was probably removed because of that. You could interpret perhaps his statement: "Love is not something that I’ve been really good at. I think people are intimidated by people with opinions. How do you go start looking for a wife or a boyfriend or a significant other?" --Clibenfoart (talk) 10:43, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Offensive comments
Isn't that a bit too much of orginial research? Controversies should only be covered if there really was a controversy with media coverage about it. It was the case with the Melissa McCarthy film, but probably not with the Irish film review. --Clibenfoart (talk) 10:45, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
 * (→Controversies: a controversy can only be there if there is media coverage around it, which was not the case with those I removed).
 * It shows poor writing and poor judgement to bluntly point out ethnic cliches and stereotypes, and not expect it to make a stink (maybe it is deliberate attempt to be sensational?). In isolation each of the points is not very substantial but the do seem to show a pattern. The Irish review was not restored but the other items were all added back and no one seems to have made any effort to discuss the supposed controversies.
 * It does seem like WP:OR and WP:COATRACK and there should be more supporting coverage to show there was actual controversy over the remarks or at least outside source responding to his pattern of abrasive criticism. Some copyediting could be done to make the section more succinct. (I should note that Zellweger's appearance has gone through some dramatic changes and in that case there may be context for his remarks that has been lost). The section should also do more to include his reply (if any) to these controversies. WP:BLP is supposed to hold editors to a higher standard than this. -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:13, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
 * His review might seem mean taken out of context but there was so much commentary on Zellweger's appearance that she herself commented on it and it is explained in her article, see Renée_Zellweger. -- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:53, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
 * McCarthy responded to the review several months later, but she was classy enough to rise above it so it probably isn't worth mentioning here. I will probably add it to the Identity Thief (film) article instead though. (Edit: Original source was a New York Times interview)-- <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:00, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

Retired jerseys
Alfie Miller (#10) is the only jersey that has been retired for the Warriors.

Logo
Despite the Warriors' logo depicting a Native American (the logo and colours being "inspired" by the Washington Redskins) and the associated controversy which resulted in the Redskins removing their logo on the grounds that it was considered racist, there has been no similar discussion around the Warriors'. Teams like Frölunda Indians HC and Chicago Blackhawks which have similar logos have come under significant pressure to change their logos on similar grounds. Frolunda announced that they would no longer be called the Indians and would be changing their logo.

Scar (Battlestar Galactica)

"Scar" is the fifteenth episode of the second season of the reimagined Battlestar Galactica television series. It aired originally on the Sci Fi Channel on February 3, 2006.

In the episode, Viper pilots Starbuck and Kat form a rivalry over which of them will destroy Scar, a feared Cylon Raider. Tormented by her feelings for Sam Anders, Starbuck nearly allows Scar to kill her in a game of chicken. In the end, she swerves and lures Scar to Kat, who destroys Scar.

Executive producer Ronald D. Moore insisted that the episode include only one dogfight. As a result, the episode focuses on the differences between Starbuck and Kat and how their personalities come into conflict rather than on space combat. Their mutual animosity has been identified as an inversion of typical gender roles, especially in comparison with the male pilot Apollo. According to one analysis, Scar represents more than just a professional rivalry, but both characters' personal demons.

Critical reception to "Scar" was mostly positive. The episode appeared on several retrospective "best of" lists.

Plot
Drunk in the pilots' mess, Starbuck vows to destroy Scar, a Raider known as the Cylons' ace of aces and dreaded for his sneak attacks. Kat challenges Starbuck, getting her to bet her beer stein labeled "Galactica Top Gun". Later, Kat interrupts Starbuck during a briefing, breaks her record in a test of shooting a side arm accurately while dizzy, and chastises her after her advice gets a rookie pilot killed by Scar.

Sharon warns Starbuck that Scar is likely so competent and bloodthirsty because "he" has died and been resurrected many times. With the Cylon Resurrection ship gone, destroying him would make his death permanent.

Starbuck is troubled by memories of Anders, whom she promised to rescue from Caprica; Admiral William Adama and President Laura Roslin have refused to order a rescue mission. After the rookie's death, she drunkenly comes on to Apollo but rejects him during foreplay. They fight over her feelings for Anders. She leaves and continues drinking while watching archival gun camera footage of Scar.

Later, Starbuck is hung over and assigns another pilot to take her place on patrol. When Scar kills her inexperienced wingman, Kat blames Starbuck. They trade insults. Starbuck taunts Kat for her fear of Scar, and Kat punches Starbuck. Apollo arrives, cutting the altercation short. He orders the two pilots to fly together to protect a mining operation in an asteroid field.

As Starbuck and Kat patrol in their Vipers, Kat pursues a Raider she believes to be Scar. As Starbuck checks behind them, the real Scar appears and damages Starbuck's Viper. Starbuck plays chicken with Scar, to Kat's horror. Remembering her promise to Anders, Starbuck swerves at the last moment. She lures Scar into Kat's line of fire, and Kat shoots him down. Back in the mess, Starbuck yields her stein to Kat and toasts a succession of pilots who have perished since the war began. She claimed previously that she could not remember their names.

Later, while practicing boxing with Helo, she admits that, before she met Anders, she would have not thought twice about dying in the process of killing Scar, while Helo tells her that letting Kat take the shot was the right decision. She tells Helo that she can't get over the hope that Anders might still be alive, despite the unlikelihood. Helo suggests that before meeting Anders, Starbuck had something to die for, but now she has something to live for.

Characterization
Moore notes that, despite Starbuck's reputation as a superior fighter pilot, "Scar" demonstrates a number of her character flaws and poor choices. He cites her obsessive competition with Kat, her drinking, and her ill conceived attempt to sleep with Apollo. Writers David Weddle and Bradley Thompson based Starbuck's portrayal in "Scar" in part on their fathers, whom Weddle described as "war veterans who were very conflicted and self-destructive". Jacob Clifton of Television Without Pity sees the episode in part as a deconstruction of the myth of Starbuck as a perfect pilot, a myth embraced by the characters, particularly Kat, and the audience alike. Kieran Tranter echoes this analysis, noting that her competence as a pilot was unquestioned in the series before "Scar".

Thompson contrasts Starbuck's attitude toward the new pilots with Kat's. Where Starbuck has become jaded by seeing so many rookies killed in battle, Kat reaches out to them with advice and genuine concern. Moore contrasts Apollo's calm in "Scar" with Starbuck and Kat's mutual animosity and suggests that this amounts to a reversal of gender roles. Clifton also notes that the episode plays a "Flip the Genders game." Moore observes that Starbuck opens up to Helo in "Scar" more than she opens up to Apollo; the series established previously that she and Helo are old friends. Clifton contends that Helo, as a pilot of Raptors rather than Vipers, does not fully understand Starbuck's loss, but he makes up for it by being instinctively supportive.

Clifton sees Starbuck's anguish over leaving Anders as a manifestation of a recurring tension in the series between the impulses to "'Stay and fight' or 'Run and rebuild'" when fighting would mean certain death. Anders represents what Starbuck could have had if the Cylons had not destroyed the Twelve Colonies. His absence also allows Starbuck to project away her feelings instead of confronting them. Clifton notes further that Starbuck's status as an adult survivor of child abuse complicates her feelings on these issues.

Clifton reflects on what Scar represents to Starbuck and Kat. Overall, he writes, "the real truth is not that nailing Scar is a competition for them; the real truth is that Scar has become each other, and everything that takes things away from them." For both of them, this goes beyond fear of the Cylons in general. For Starbuck, Scar embodies her anxiety over the mysterious operation the Cylons performed on her on Caprica and the abuse in her past; Clifton notes both these experiences left literal scars on Starbuck. For Kat, Scar embodies her fear of not being as good as Starbuck and her fear of letting the fleet down, which in the past caused her to turn to abuse stimulants.

Kat and some other pilots try to remember the name of a fallen comrade's girlfriend who died in the attack on the Colonies, but Starbuck considers it pointless. Clifton suggests Kat identifies with the dead woman more than Starbuck because Kat was a civilian until she signed up as a pilot during the series. He also notes a similarity between the names that are guessed (Kathy, Katherine, Kassie, Karen), Kat's call sign, and Starbuck's first name, Kara.

Production
Moore wanted an episode focused on Viper pilots like the first-season episode "Act of Contrition". In particular, he wanted to explore their daily lives aboard Galactica and their tactics in battle. Writers David Weddle and Bradley Thompson kept the episode from becoming too "industrial" by incorporating executive producer David Eick's desire for a confrontation between Starbuck and Kat. Weddle compared "Scar" to the film Battleground for its focus on the individual pilots.

Moore restricted the writers to one dogfight in this episode. To increase the dramatic tension, Weddle and Thompson began the episode at the start of Starbuck and Kat's patrol and told the bulk of the story in flashbacks; inserted more opportunities for Starbuck and Kat to clash on Galactica; and wrote another dogfight to be narrated over radio.

The writers went over the script in detail with Moore in a July 2005 writers' meeting that was recorded and published by podcast. One key plot point they discussed at length was a motive for Galactica staying in one place while Scar shoots down its fighters one at a time. Slate summarized the ensuing discussion: "One writer suggests that they're fixing the engines (a true standby of science fiction, one that served Star Trek for decades). Another writer proposes that ...Vipers are vulnerable because they're flying attenuated, long-distance patrols. Moore eventually decides that the fleet must have manufacturing facilities, but needs raw material, some magic metal for building Vipers found only where the ship is stuck. 'Then it can influence the conversations in the ready room,' Moore says, 'because of the psychological toll on the pilots. Now their machines are more valuable than they are.'"

A scene of auctioning off a recently killed rookie pilot's belongings was written and filmed, but it was cut from the episode. Moore felt it was too jarring a scene to include in the episode. He compared the practice of new pilots taking dead pilots' bunks to a scene from Full Metal Jacket.

The chair in which the pilots spin to get dizzy before their accuracy test was based on a similar device Moore saw at Edwards Air Force Base; the test there was to point one's finger accurately rather than to fire a weapon. Thompson based Scar's technique of flying at Starbuck with the sun behind him obscure her vision on a technique described in World War II pilot Pappy Boyington's autobiography, Baa Baa Black Sheep. A diagram shown on a whiteboard in the ready room during Starbuck's briefing was taken from a textbook on fighter tactics.

The visual effects in "Scar" were particularly difficult and time-consuming to produce. The last visual effects shots were finished in the week before the episode aired.

In a rare break from the series's cinéma vérité style, director Michael Nankin slows down time as Starbuck remembers Anders in the moments before she swerves from Scar. The episode closes with Stanley Myers's classical guitar piece "Cavatina", the theme from the 1978 film The Deer Hunter.

Reception
Critical reaction to "Scar" was mostly positive. Rose Wojnar of The San Diego Union-Tribune gave "Scar" a B+, praising the "great action scenes and for some gut-wrenching emotional ones" but criticizing the narrative device of cutting back and forth between the final encounter with Scar and earlier action. Keith McDuffee of TV Squad also lamented the "time shifting" but liked the episode overall. Clifton gave "Scar" an A−, praising actress Luciana Carro performance as Kat and the editing. He later elaborated, "I liked 'Scar' as a well-done story, but in the middle of a lackluster and unrepentantly heterogeneous season, I could have done without." Amanda Keith of the Los Angeles Newspaper Group noted that Katee Sackhoff's portrayal of Starbuck had evolved from a "larger-than life character" to one that is "one hundred different kinds of frakked up". Keith called it "a remarkable transformation, and another sign that the [Battlestar Galactica] actors really was [sic] robbed of Emmy glory." Simon Brew of Den of Geek called "Scar" "not one of the best episodes to date, I thought, but an improvement on 'Black Market' [the previous episode]".

Right before the series finale, as part of a retrospective look at the series, Alan Sepinwall of The Star-Ledger included "Scar" on his list of favorite episodes, calling it a "great self-contained show, and one of the best showcases Katee Sackhoff ever got, as we spend an entire hour just living with the Viper pilots and getting a better sense of the emotional toll of war without end for the toughest warrior of them all." Michael Hickerson of Slice of SciFi ranked it as the series's fifth best episode. John Kubicek also ranked it fifth best, calling the scene in which Starbuck toasts the dead pilots "pure magic, and easily my favorite single scene in the history of the show." Kelly Woo of TV Squad ranked "Scar" as the series's eighth best episode. Eric Goldman of IGN ranked Starbuck's showdown with Scar at #19 on his list of the series's top "storylines and moments", calling it a "visually strong battle sequence".

User:Ryan524~enwikiversity/Opinions

The following are my opinions and beliefs on some hot-topic issues in the news today. Keep in mind that these are in no way associated with the views held by Wikiversity or the Wikimedia Foundation, and I take full credit and responsibility for what is posted here.

I stole this idea from from a user on Wikinews, however I like the idea of posting these, its a way to vent your opinions so they don't make it into articles, and wikiversity can stay NPOV.

Religion

 * I am a strong believer in non-demomination Christian worship. The only religious book I follow is Bible.

Abortion

 * Well i feel the same as i feel about murder, after all its the same thing.

Flag Burning

 * Need I say is disrespectful to that county, and its citizens?

Firearms

 * The Second Amendment states that we have the right to bear arms. But it needs to be contolled.

Stem-cell research

 * Well the way they do it now I disagree with, if they fund a humane way to do this, it would be a great advancement to medicine.

Homosexual relationships

 * "God created woman to be as a companion for man" and I belive that but I still respect those who don't feel that way, I may disagree, but am not homophobic.

Homosexuality and marriage

 * Marriage is not legal, it has some legal rights attached to it, but I think its more of a institution by God, however they should still be able to get the legal rights married couples do, after all they deserve such as US citizens.

Separation of Church and State

 * Simply put, it dosen't exist, its not in The Bible or Constitution, the idea was submitted in a letter to Jefferson but he didn't like the idea so its not in The Constitution.

Terrorism

 * I disagree with mass killing for any reason, especially just to prove a point!

War on Iraq

 * I supported the war on Iraq since it started and still do, getting Saddam out of power did alot for not just Iraq but also the world, and we need to stay their until their government is up and the Iraqi police can handle themselves.

Extraterrestrial activity

 * I do agree that "Area 51" exists but I believe it to purely be a site for testing military aircraft in development.

 PROSER2

PROSER2, also known as proline and serine rich 2 or c10orf47, is a gene which encodes proline and serine rich 2 protein. It is found in band 14 of the short arm (p) of chromosome 10. This gene is 48,880 bases in length and is 3,360 base pairs in length after transcription to mRNA. It is oriented on the plus strand of DNA and has 5 exons. PROSER2 has 5 splice variants, 3 of which are alternatively spliced and 2 of which are unspliced forms. It contains an upstream in-frame stop codon and 13 regulatory elements including: a 2,198 bp promoter, two CTCF binding sites, five promoter flanking regions, and five enhancers, in addition to several more predicted enhancers. In Homo sapiens, PROSER2 encodes the proline and serine-rich protein 2 which is 435 amino acids in length and has a molecular weight of 45,802 Da. This protein has a fairly neutral basal isoelectric point of 6.74.

 PROSER2  Transcript

 Proline and Serine rich 2 Protein

The true function of proline and serine rich 2 protein is currently unknown. 143 organisms have orthologs with the human PROSER2. Previous experimentation through two-hybrid screens, reconstituted complex, and Affinity Capture-MS has found that PROSER2 interacts with several other genes including: ACTB, APP, EPS8, POT1, STK24, and YTHDC1. The proline and serine rich 2 protein contains a conserved SARG (specifically androgen-regulated gene protein) domain that spans 388 amino acids within PROSER2. The SARG domain belongs to the pfam15385 family of genes. Its true function has yet to be elucidated, but it is a suspected androgen receptor because it is up-regulated in the presence of androgens, but not glucocorticoids. The SARG domain is highly expressed in the prostate where PROSER2 has also been reported.

 Protein Internal Structure

 Evolutionary History

Orthologous Space:

The orthologous space for PROSER2 is fairly large. The most distant ortholog of the human PROSER2 is the elephant shark, ''Callorhinchus milii. The gram-negative bacteria species, Mesorhizobium loti'', also appears in a BLAST search, but has a slightly high e value (0.27) and likely does not represent a true evolutionary connection. Therefore, the most distant relatives of humans with PROSER2 are fish and sharks (cartilaginous fishes). For this same reason, it can be inferred that PROSER2 originated in vertebrates.

Paralogous Space:

Text-based searches and a BLAT and BLAST against the human genome demonstrate that no paralogs exist for PROSER2. Therefore, it does not belong to a gene family.

Conserved Regions:

Multiple sequence alignments demonstrated that the 3’ end of the proline-serine rich 2 protein is highly conserved in all relatives (both distant and close homologs). These widely conserved amino acids found in all primates, mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, fish, and sharks for which sequences are avaialble include: R421, G406, V409, A424, L425, L428, G429, and L430. It can be noted that these highly conserved amino acids comprise much of the 3’ end of the specifically androgen-regulated gene protein (SARG) domain. This indicates that the SARG domain is responsible for a critical and potentially life-sustaining function in all primates through cartilaginous fishes. The 5’ end of the proline-serine rich 2 protein is highly conserved in close relatives of humans including all primates, mammals, reptiles, and birds for which sequences are available. PROSER2 has an even balance of basic and acidic residues.

Evolutionary Pattern:

PROSER2 is a fast evolving gene, similar to Fibrinogen (FGA). It aligns almost perfectly with Fibrinogen’s evolutionary history and is much farther away from the evolutionary timeline of Cytochrome C (CYCS) which is evolving more slowly than PROSER2 or FGA. Gene duplication of PROSER2 occurred approximately in fish which diverged from humans 436.8 MYA.

 Potential Function

PROSER2 may be a biomarker of epithelial cell, breast, prostate, ovarian, lung, brain, and blood cancers as demonstrated in several US Patents.

Almost Got 'Im

"Almost Got 'Im" is the thirty-fifth episode of the Warner Bros. television program Batman: The Animated Series, which first aired on November 10, 1992, and was written by Paul Dini and directed by Eric Radomski. This episode features seven villains of Batman's rogues gallery, with five of them telling their respective stories of the times they each came closest to killing the Dark Knight (via a frame story), and the ending leading to a singular plot twist.

Plot
While hiding out from the police, Joker, the Penguin, Two-Face, Poison Ivy, and Killer Croc gather at the criminals-only Stacked Deck Club. While passing time with a card game, their conversation focuses on their mutual foe, Batman. Eventually the subject leads each to an argument over who came the closest to killing Batman, and at the Joker's behest each criminal details their own story about how they "almost got 'im".

Ivy recounts how she had unleashed poisonous gas on Halloween through thousands of pumpkins, only for Batman to thwart her plans by overcoming a trap. At first Poison Ivy managed to weaken Batman with the gas, and prepared to unmask him. However, Batman programs the Batmobile to chase her, and he used the opportunity to escape.

Two-Face recounts how he had staged a robbery at a mint for $2 million in two dollar bills and had managed to take away Batman's utility belt and strap him onto a giant penny that he planned to catapult. However, Two-Face realized that Batman had stolen his coin and used it to break free, before apprehending him and his gang. He mentions that the police allowed Batman to keep the penny, confirming it to be the one displayed in the Batcave.

Croc describes facing off against Batman in a quarry and throwing a rock at him. The villains are unimpressed and move on.

Penguin recalls how he trained dangerous birds to attack Batman at an aviary, including a cassowary and poison-beaked hummingbirds. However, Batman soaks them in water with the aviary's sprinkler and injects himself with an antidote; Penguin was forced to flee as a direct result.

With his cohorts having told their stories, Joker recalls how he had been close to killing Batman the night before. After capturing Batman, Joker commandeered the set of a late-night talk show, holding the audience hostage. With help from his gang and Harley Quinn, Joker intended to kill Batman with an electric chair powered by the audience's laughter. Before Batman was subjected to a lethal dose of electricity, Catwoman broke into the studio, distracting Joker long enough for Batman to escape. Before she can keep Joker from fleeing the studio, Harley knocks Catwoman unconscious, with Joker instructing that she be hidden away.

With his story over, Croc questions Joker on what he did with Catwoman, to which he answers that she was taken to a cat food factory to be dealt with once he was finished at the club. To Joker's surprise, Croc attacks him, revealing himself to be Batman in disguise. As the other villains prepare to deal with him, Batman reveals that they were lured there as part of a sting operation organized by Gotham police, who were present in the club, in an attempt to find out Catwoman's whereabouts. While Commissioner Gordon and Detective Bullock arrest the group, Batman heads out to the factory.

At the cat food cannery, Batman finds Harley with Catwoman, who is tied down to an assembly line, set to be ground up. Harley attempts to escape by turning on the conveyor belt, forcing Batman to choose between apprehending her and saving Catwoman. Batman, finding the machine's power switch, is able to capture Harley and rescue Catwoman. As Harley is arrested, Catwoman thanks Batman for the rescue, to which he states he owed her one for saving him. As Catwoman discusses their relationship and makes a pass at him, Batman pulls off his trademark disappearing act, leaving her to smile and mutter to herself "Hmm. Almost got 'im".

Reception
The episode is widely regarded as among the series' best, and is ranked by fans on IMDb at 9.2. Ranking it the No. 2 best episodes of the series, IGN writes, "It's one of Paul Dini's cleverest episodes, and typifies the distilled iconography that the show did so well." Sandra Dozier calls the episode "charming" and praises it for showing "the origin story for the Bat Cave's giant penny."

D.N. Ace did a tribute to the episode in episode 39 called "Almost Aced 'Em".

Home media
The episode features a commentary on the DVD release.

Middle Eastern foreign policy of the Narendra Modi government

The Middle East region plays a vital role in India's economy as it supplies nearly two-thirds of India's total oil import, bilateral trade is also flourishing in recent years particularly with UAE and other Arab states of the Persian Gulf. Over the years, millions of Indians mostly working class have migrated to the Persian Gulf region looking for jobs and they account for a sizeable share in the total remittances received from abroad. Indian External Affairs Ministry refers the region as West Asia and not as Middle East which is a more popular attribution, particularly in the Western countries.

Link West policy
In an attempt to strengthen ties with India's western neighbours, especially the Persian Gulf countries, Modi proposed this policy to complement his Act East policy concerning East Asia. Although it is called "Link West" (west of India) which gives it a bigger geographical connotation, it is most likely to focus on the middle-east and some of the India's strategic thinkers are calling it as Modi's middle-east policy.

Bahrain
Swaraj chose Manama, Bahrain for her first visit to the Persian Gulf. The visit marked the first high level exchange from Modi govt to any Arab states following apprehension of less priority given to the Indo-Arab relation under Modi administration. The island country with a significant population of Indian origin people has extensive trade and business ties with India. There addressing at a business meet the minister reiterated "Our government is firmly committed to bring back growth, have clear policies which will facilitate business environment, transparency and speed, well thought out decisions". In order to boost maritime cooperation with the Persian Gulf countries India sent ICGS Vijit, a Vishwast class offshore patrol vessel, to a 4 nations friendly visit including Bahrain in late December 2014.

Iraqi Kurdistan
Prior to the Modi administration, there had been limited diplomatic relations between India and Iraqi Kurdistan. India purchases Kurdish crude oil sold through Turkish companies. Several Indian citizens work in Iraqi Kurdistan. Many Kurds travel to India for educational or medical purposes. In July 2014, Hemin Hawrani, head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party's international relations wing, told The Hindu that he hoped for deeper political and economic ties with India, describing the country as "an important partner". Hawrani also expressed his desire to see the Indian government open a consulate in Erbil, and invited Indian companies to invest in Kurdistan. In November 2014, the Indian government sent special envoy Ambassador Suresh K. Reddy to visit Kurdistan and meet Kurdish government officials. Reddy stated that India "fully supports the Kurdistan Region during this difficult time", and expressed confidence in the Kurdish government and the Peshmerga forces to preserve the stability and security of the region. The Ambassador also praised the role of Peshmerga forces in fighting ISIL, and announced that the Indian government would open a consulate in Kurdistan.

Israel
Israel is one of India's most important strategic partner and major source of its military hardware. Relation is expected to flourish with Modi government as the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party is known for its pro-Israeli stands and in favor of strengthening ties with Israel. Sushma Swaraj, who was chairperson of the 'India-Israel parliamentary friendship group', visited Israel earlier and called Israel a reliable partner besides expressing her admiration for former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir.

In September 2014, Modi met his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu in the first interaction between the premiers of the two countries in 11 years with the leader of the Jewish state saying, "Sky is the limit." for bilateral relations. Later on India has decided to buy Israeli anti-tank Spike missile instead of Javelin missile offered by the US which signifies the depth of Israel-India bilateral relation specially with BJP government in New Delhi. The contract is expected to be worth $525 million, with this Israel is India's second largest arm supplier after Russia.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh became the first Minister of Modi govt to visit Israel. His trip featured a series of high level meetings with top Israeli leadership including Defence Minister Moshe Yaalon, National Security Adviser Yossi Cohenand, Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovich and the Prime Minister following which Netanyahu said that Indians and Israelis share the combination of ingenuity and continuity. It was the first visit of an Indian Home Minister to Israel since June 2000 when L K Advani visited Jerusalem, marking an upsurge in bilateral cooperation. On the same day Modi met former Israeli President and Nobel laureate Shimon Peres in New Delhi. In the meeting Modi informed Peres about his strong desire to further expand and strengthen India's relations with Israel, both in traditional areas as well as in new areas of cooperation.

At the height of the tension between Israel and Hamas in July India offered a rhetorical condemnation holding both sides responsible for erupting violence and asked Israel to "stop disproportionate use of force" in Gaza which was read by many as departure from tradition of more vocal supports for the Palestinian cause. External Affairs Minister Swaraj insisted that "there is absolutely no change in India's policy towards Palestine, which is that we fully support the Palestinian cause while maintaining good relations with Israel", clarifying India's current position on the issue. That might sound like fence-sitting, but it's a policy shared by all Indian governments of the past 20 years following the establishment of formal diplomatic relation in 1992.
 * 2014 Israel-Hamas conflict

Sushma Swaraj, a seasoned parliamentarian, had herself blocked the opposition demand in Rajya Sabha for passing a resolution condemning Israel for 2014 Israel-Gaza conflict by saying, "India has friendly relation with both Israel and Palestine and therefore any such move may impact its friendship negatively". Although later in a symbolic gesture India joined others BRICS nations in voting at the United Nations Human Rights Council for a probe into the alleged human rights violation in Gaza, which generated mixed response among media and analysts in India.

Oman
External Affairs Minister Swaraj made a two-day visit to Oman, her maiden visit to the oil-rich Persian Gulf country, on 17 February 2015 where she met her counterpart Yusuf bin Alawi bin Abdullah and discussed bilateral issues of mutual interests. The Omani top leadership expressed their interests in developing a strong political, economic and strategic relation with India. Swaraj had said that the welfare of the diaspora is among her top priority in the Persian Gulf region which host more than 7 million Indian workers.

United Arab Emirates
Economic cooperation defines the bilateral relations between India and the Arab Emirates, the UAE is one of the largest trading partners of India. Foreign Minister Swaraj during her maiden trip to Abu Dhabi tried to win the confidence of potential UAE investors and welcomed them to join the new Indian govt effort to build world class infrastructure in India which is expected to require foreign investments up to US$1 trillion in next five years. She had also held discussion with her counterpart Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, during the meeting, both sides reviewed the existing bilateral relations and took stock of progress and development in joint cooperation in many areas and looked into the ways of enhancing them for common interests.

Hello, world!

As described in more detail in the related Wikipedia article, Hello, world! is a classic "first program" one creates when learning a new programming language. The objective of the application is the same: to print the text "Hello, world!" to the screen in some form, be it console output or a dialog.

In many cases, the statement required to do this is a single line.

It seems appropriate that our introduction to Computer Science occupied this title. As a student, the first choice to make is to decide what kind of knowledge you are looking for. Of course, this depends upon your needs. You might be:

 * A learned computer scientist or professional eager to contribute research and course material
 * Computer professional seeking an alternative to expensive commercial certification
 * Adult non-computer professional or entrepreneur who could benefit from academic/practical knowledge of computing
 * College-eligible (or not) student considering a degree
 * Casual user trying to to catch/spread the next virus
 * Hobbyist or computer gamer looking to get the most out of your computing experience
 * Complete newbie looking for a place to start

This is an exciting time for education, and for those of us wishing to collaborate and share knowledge, skills and experience. At present, we are only limited by the sky, and some very large hard drives in a server farm somewhere.

Philosophy of Mathematics/Scope

This is an introductory meta chapter on the topic. It answers the basic questions about the scope of the course and gives information for deciding on taking the course or not.

Why studying Philosophy of Mathematics?
This is not about either studying PoM or doing (i.e. studying) nothing at all, the question is not 'to study or not to study'. In fact it's about 'this to study or that to study'.
 * PoM is better than taking another Maths course, since
 * just doing sth without questioning it is like a hamster in a running wheel that never asks what's outside
 * the valuation of mathematical results itself is not done mathematically
 * communications with nonmathematicians from time to time is unavoidable ( such is life ;o)
 * PoM is better than taking another Philosophy of xyz course, since
 * mathematics is THE apriorical science, so here one learns more about the a priori then anywhere else
 * the concept of 'theory' is an elementary one in epistemology, mathematics is where it is defined
 * when talking about mathematics many people appear unconfident, here is clarified what one can and can't expect from it

What does a Philosophy of Mathematics contain?
When doing mathematics 'the usual way' one can easily find that it's not a purely formal science at it's rock bottom. So it can be thought of a mathematical foundation of mathematics. This is usually referred to as metamathematics.

Also one can question the formal method of mathematics at all from a cognitive point of view: is it really better to write confusing lines of symbols then e.g. writing a poem about the stuff? Moreover a mathematician is not alone. There is a whole mathematical community out there and although the results are formal, doing mathematics is highly creative and valuating these results as well as deciding about directions of research is primarily a social problem.

Similarly when thinking about the application mathematics in science, engineering etc. one can take the same two approaches: modelling the situation mathematically and examining the cognitive and community aspects. The application of mathematics can and can't be seen as part of the subject of philosophy of mathematics. Here it is included, but when reasons should appear to source it out to another course this could be done easily.

Exclusions: What it does NOT contain:
 * an introduction to logic or model theory
 * an introduction to epistemology
 * an introduction to cognitive science (should it?)
 * an introduction to social science or game theory (should it?)
 * any training of mathematical abilities or capabilities
 * any issues of non-formal linguistics
 * aesthetics of mathematics (as a standalone subject), since this is truly art and not only a subchapter of philosophy. Although it might appear as part of some philosophical considerations.

How is this course structured?
Problem: Philosophers make statements in epistemology and theory of science. Scientists ignore them mainly or even be annoyed about them (or do you know any formal scientist who loves T.S.Kuhn?). But actually Scientists are interested in the philosophical background of their job as well as Philosophers are interested in the justification of their Theories.

Approach: Structuring the whole subject from the perspective of a questioning Mathematician. Such a course structure may be build up along the following questions, expanding the underlying Model of the 'Mathematician's job' step by step.

So the course will be beneficial for Scientists AND Philosophers as well as it enables both sides also to participate in EDITING the content - leveraging the cooperative spirit of Wikiversity!
