Template talk:Blank lesson page - Color scheme 3

The "Help:" namespace is for pages such as Help:Editing tips and tricks. Help:Color schemes 3 seems to be a template. If so, it should be in the "Template:" namespace (see w:Wikipedia:Template namespace). --JWSchmidt 17:04, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Originally, it was a just simple help item...

 * Where to put it?
 * Originally, the pages called "color schemes" were a simple list of help ideas for instructors hence it was listed in the HELP section. However, I got carried away this time and created a blank but formatted page which is complete with (limited) build in instructions.  I did not know what to call it or where to put it.

 * This page is NOT a TEMPLATE. Rather, it is a rough framework which authors can duplicate and then use to flesh out a page.  (It looks like a template and it includes templates but it does not work like a template and it does not function as a proper Wiki template so I don't think it can be classified as a TEMPLATE.)

 * All it does is save a lot of time when creating a new page.

 * Therefore, I have no idea where to put it. Feel free to move it anywhere it should be.Robert Elliott 18:17, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I think I see the problem...

 * Templates vs. boilerplates and skeletons.
 * In the Wiki software, TEMPLATE has a very specific meaning. For something to be a template, it must conform to strict formatting rule and it must be capable of inclusion into other pages.

 * Most people create templates which conform to the requirements of the Wiki language. These are just simple templates which are inserted into other pages.  I do this all the time now.

 * Occasionally people create useful boilerplates. That is good.  But these do NOT conform to the TEMPLATE formatting.  Instead, these are just rough skeletons which must be copied manually into a new page with cut and paste and filled out.  That is not a problem.

 * The problem is some of the boilerplates have been put into the TEMPLATE namespace which means when the Wiki servers sees this name in the template brackets, this page is inserted into other pages. That is not the function of boilerplates and boilerplates do not function properly if called with a Wiki software call.

 * Therefore, it might be damaging to the speedy function of the server if boilerplates (which are just rough pages to be filled out by the author) are put into the TEMPLATE namespace.

 * Probably these should be in the main namespace in the category of "Boilerplates". Robert Elliott 18:42, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure, but it may have been Messedrocker who started using the term "boilerplate" for Wikiversity templates that should be used by Template substitution. "Boilerplate refers to any text that is or can be reused in new contexts or applications without being changed much from the original." (source) It is true that when people transclude templates that are meant to be substituted, it causes problems. The existing "solution" to this problem is to try make sure that the usage instructions are clear for each template. It is true that you can treat pages as templates even if they are in other namespaces besides the "Template:" namespace. However, the only systematic use of this I have seen is for "userbox" templates. At Wikipedia, userbox templates that do not help the encyclopedia must be kept in the "User:" namespace. This was done because editors are allowed to make use of the "User:" namespace to discuss their personal interests. I'm not sure that moving templates that are meant to be substituted out of the "Template:" namespace would be of any real use. Tey could still be mistakenly transcluded. --JWSchmidt 20:08, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I will look into this.
 * I will be trying various templates and boilerplates to see what happens in the different cases. Robert Elliott 22:11, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

This page has been moved...
This page is moved from Help to Template namespace. I agree that HELP is not the correct namespace for this page but I am not happy about the clarity of the term TEMPLATE. The use of this name just because this page can be substituted into another page is not a good reason to use the TEMPLATE namespace. Hopefully, a new system will be developed which is clearer and more regular. Robert Elliott 22:50, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Comments
I really like the look of the design on this page. Perhaps we should think about this terms of the wikiversity in general. Perhaps, a warm design might be more advantageous for the look here overall as a learning center rather than as a reference like the wikipedia. Mundhenk 08:49, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/I Believe in You

I Believe in You

 * Note: The article in question has been moved to I Believe in You (Kylie Minogue song) to create a disambiguation page.

I believe that this article is worthy of being a featured article: it is well written, comprehensive, referenced, neutral and stable, and complies with the WP:MOS. It uses three images: two of single covers and one of the music video, and they have "acceptable copyright status". I really believe that this article meets the FA criteria -- getcrunk juice  contribs 00:41, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * (this is a self-nomination) -- getcrunk juice  contribs 00:46, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Nom and support! -- getcrunk juice  contribs 00:46, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * tentative support this is a pretty short but nice article about a single... I'm not sure I can say more than that but it appears to meet the FA criteria besides a couple unreferenced things which the submitter appears to be working on. Just another star in the night T 01:13, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Conditional Support. Like other FAs about songs, this article needs a section detailing the release of the songs, versions, etc. RyanG e rbil10 02:03, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Support I think the article it is well written and comprehensive. I'll try to help expand certain sections, but as of right now I think the article is very informative. — Underneath-it-All 02:58, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Object I think the article needs work. There is a great deal of passive voice, especially in the short lead, as "is" or "was" is the verb in every sentence (In particular, the phrase "The song was ..." is used often).  There are weasel word phrases and opinions, such as;
 * "The song takes its inspiration from 70s disco and 80s electro-pop music, and has been descibed as a nod to 80s band New Order." -- i.e., who described it as 80's New Order?
 * "The chorus is recognized as the highlight of the song..." is also an opinion -- who recognizes it as a highlight?
 * "The collaboration with Shears and Babbydaddy was seen as an unlikely collaboration." -- Seen by who?
 * "The music video has been compared to Dannii Minogue's music video for "I Begin To Wonder"." -- Who has compared it?, and so on.
 * The article is much too short, with paragraphs of only one or two sentences. There is also nothing which shows why this song is notable -- how did the recording process go?  Why was it a "unlikely collaboration"?  How has this song advanced / declined her career?  After these additions and a peer review, I'll be glad to evaluate the article again, but as it stands, it needs considerable work. --Ataricodfish 06:17, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I've sourced/removed your four weasel word points and added a bit about how the song returned Minogue to popularity in the American dance market. The song is notable because it is a charting single release from Kylie Minogue -- getcrunk juice  contribs 23:06, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but the article is still very much incomplete and needs tremendous work. Take a look at something like Real Love (song) or Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me) for examples of more complete Featured Articles on songs.  The articles tell the motivation for writing the song, how the songs were recorded, why, and how they were influental to the performer's career.  After reading the article, I fail to see how the song is important besides it being just another song Kylie recorded.  Also, there should probably be some book sources, or at least something besides Internet links.  My objection remains, and I would recommend that you place the article in Peer Review first as, despite your good intentions and admiration of Kylie, it's not ready for FA yet. --Ataricodfish 03:19, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Strong Object The article is far too short and lacking in detail to be a featured article. In fact, without the charts and track listings the article would be almost laughingly short. In addition, was there any cultural impact from the song? The article also lacks bio info on the singer and lots more.--Alabamaboy 19:57, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by "the article lacks bio info on the singer"? Kylie Minogue is covered in the main Kylie Minogue article. I am not sure if you want me to bring some of that information into this article? -- getcrunk juice  contribs 23:06, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The article should still have some bio info about Minogue, along with a Main article link to the main article on her. If needed, bring a bit (not all) of the main article stuff into this article. Please note, though, that this is a minor issue with the article. The other issues I raised are more substantial.--Alabamaboy 00:42, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think that the article is too short.. I have expanded the "Composition" and the "Chart performance" sections. And I do not believe that the single has impacted any cultures (it only reached the top five in most european countries) -- getcrunk juice  contribs 00:58, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Strong Object. An overall short and choppy article. The prose is uncompelling: there is no flow or variance of sentence structure. Almost every sentence (especially in the lead) begins with "The song...". Secondly, the article fails the comprehensive section of the FA criteria. Not once does it discuss the history behind the music: the studio sessions, etc. Moreover, while it does talk of the "music", there is still a lot to discuss: the theme of the lyrics, the key in which the song is set (major or minor), the melody, time signature, the song structure (does it follow the verse-chorus form, AABA? etc) The writers quoted lyrics, but why? They have not discussed it indepth, nor have they commented on its strenght/weakness. It seems to be there to take up space. Thirdly, the article is poorly sourced. Just 6 sources are included, most of which are critical appreciation. The rest of the article that discusses "song composition" is not sourced (except for a quote), and if left this way, could be construed as original research. Fourth, there is a picture at music video, but how does it contribute significantly to the article? The caption reads something like "a scene from the video"(not a direct quote). However, you need to use that pic to help show something notable about the video. In its current state, it's there just for decoration. Good attempt, but this article needs much —and I do mean "much"— more work to be considered ready. I suggest peer review. I really hope the writers dont get discouraged; it has potential. Oran   e    (t)   (c)   (e)  22:01, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I have changed up the intro and there are now eleven sources, and I have changed the caption of the picture. I fully understand your second point and I will try and improve on that when I'm not busy. -- getcrunk juice  contribs 23:06, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I've attempted to improve on the discussion of the "music" (composition section). I hope I've done it right, I don't have much experience in that area. -- getcrunk juice  contribs 01:16, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * CommentI'm sorry, but no, you certainly have not. What you did was a direct cut and paste of the "music and structure" section of "We Belong Together", slightly altering text to "fit" your article, and I must say, I'm a bit disappointed: 1) its like reading a mirror article/total rip-off of "We Belong together", which is really weird, since the content in that article was written by yours truly, and 2) the text does not fit in another article, especially this one. You could have atleast altered the words just to make it less obvious. Moreover, unlike WBT, none of the new info in your article sourced, which brings us right back to original research. Changed vote to "strong object." Oran   e    (t)   (c)   (e)  02:56, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I used that format because I knew that WBT's article had a good "music/structure" section... I will alter the text further and find some more sources -- getcrunk juice  contribs 03:02, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * You could have used the same format without a direct copy and paste. Oran   e    (t)   (c)   (e)  03:10, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Also, I know FACs can be brutal, and the objectors can be a real pain in the ass, but please just hang in there ok? Oran   e    (t)   (c)   (e)  03:12, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment→ I have realized that with the addition to the music section comes a deterioration of prose and coherence. Examples:
 * ""I Believe in You" includes three sections of melodies, each with Minogue in slightly different emotions" — I just don't get what this sentence is saying. "Three sections of melodies"? Also, what are the different emotions?
 * "This melody is maintained throughout the song, except for occasional pauses for Minogue's verses" —poor musical explanation.
 * "Written and recorded for Ultimate Kylie during the summer of 2004 in London, the song takes its inspiration from disco and 80s new wave electro-pop music and has been descibed as similar to 80s band New Order. This is evident in the rhythm of the song: the song opens with a keyboard playing the choral melody in a 4/4 time signature." —Does the fact that the song opens with a keyboard in a 4/4 time signature means that it is inspired by 80s disco? How come?
 * "During the second section, she lowers her tone and sings in a sweet voice" — are you implying that she was singing in a higher pitch in the first verse? Also, who said her voice was "sweet", you or a critic?
 * ""Nothing lasts for ever, but together til the end, I'll give you everything I have again and again," Minogue sings during the bridge of the song." — what is notable about this section that merits a quote/special mention? I would really advise that you do some research. Oran   e    (t)   (c)   (e)  19:41, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

 *  Conditional Support -I'm a firm believer in article length not always having anything to do with quality, and on quality grounds it's there. However, I DO have a problem with 3 fair use images. The cover should stay, the music video, noted for it's effect, is beautifully illustrated. The alternate cover, however, adds precisely nothing to the article and stretches fair use. It needs to be dumped. - M ask [[Image:Flag_of_Alaska.svg|20 px]] 02:38, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I guess you're right. I've removed the alternate cover image -- getcrunk juice  contribs 02:45, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * And now you get full support - M ask [[Image:Flag_of_Alaska.svg|20 px]] 05:35, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Object please have the article peer reviewed first. Zzzzz 09:52, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Object Reads like a well-written fan piece rather than the 1-in-1100 that is a Featured Article. There's even typos (which I'm fixing as I find them). Should be peer reviewed first. --kingboyk 13:35, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Object. There are multiple typos throughout the article and the subject ("I Believe in You") is incorrectly spelling in several places, where "in" appears capitalized. The chart trajectories need to be removed and replaced with a graph similar to those included in We Belong Together and Cool (song). In addition, where is the information on the music? What chord is it in? What is the time signature? Are there any bass guitars, a piano, or even a clarinet? Refer the article to peer review. —Eternal Equinox | talk 23:10, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment- I would advise any author to ditch the graph style. It takes up more memory and is less exact then a chart. Considering We Belong Together did not make it, I'd also advise any author to take ideas from that article with a grain of salt. - M ask [[Image:Flag_of_Alaska.svg|20 px]] 20:50, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment— Just because an article did not make it, that does not mean that it cannot be used as a model. Most of the objections were on image copyright and a few instances of poor prose, not comprehensiveness nor content. i.e. it can be used. Oran   e    (t)   (c)   (e)  00:49, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment - should be very careful about quoting lyrics. They are copyright and governed by the same fair use rules as images and sound samples. If lyrics are to be quoted there must be a reason and they must be discussed in sufficient depth, that the inclusion of an extract from the lyrics is necessary. This is not the case here. Two sizeable chunks of lyrics are reproduced and I can't see any reason for it. One section is just there - no explanation - is it just for decoration? What is the point you are trying to make with these lyrics? The other bit is where Kylie sings "in a sweet voice" (whatever that means) and in this context whatever lyrics she is singing is irrelevant as the point seems to be about her "sweet voice". Please remove these. Rossrs 00:04, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

General Astronomy/Daily Motions

Every day, the Earth turns once on its axis. At the Earth's equator, we move around the center of the Earth with speeds near a thousand kilometers per hour because of this rotation. We feel nothing, but we can see the effect of Earth's rotation. An observer on Earth sees everything in the sky appear to rotate around Earth at the rate of once per day. This motion is not apparent to an observer who steps outside for a moment, since it is so slow. For the motion to become apparent, an observer must watch the sky for a period of hours. During the day, the motion manifests itself in the movement of the Sun, which proceeds from the East in the morning towards the west in the evening. At night, the constellations move, seeming to circle about the pole.

Because the daily motion of the stars is driven by the same mechanism that drives the motion of the Sun, the stars move in almost exactly the same way that the Sun moves. Indeed, everything in the sky moves in almost exactly the same way over the course of a day. The motion of the Sun and the planets only differ at all because the planets have their own motion around the Sun along their orbits, and is noticeable from Earth.

As the Earth spins, it appears to us that the celestial sphere is spinning. It spins about the Earth's pole, so that the celestial poles appear stationary and the stars and planets seem to move in circles around the poles. Stars move at 15° an hour.

The schematic illustrates the daily motion of the celestial sphere resulting from the spin of the Earth. The Sun, Moon, planets and stars make circles around the Earth. Since the observer is tilted with respect to Earth's rotation axis, the daily motion also appears tilted. As a result, celestial objects appear to rise and set at an angle.

Looking at the diagram, we see that stars should rise roughly in the East and come up at an angle. In the Northern Hemisphere, the stars move to the south as they rise, while stars move northward in the Southern Hemisphere as they rise. To an observer standing at the equator, the axis of rotation is horizontal, and stars rise in the East perpendicular to the horizon.

Since the stars seem to rotate around the celestial pole, some of the stars very near the pole never rise or set. Certainly, Polaris never sets — it remains fixed. Only an observer very close to the equator will see any of the stars in the Little Dipper rise or set. The stars close enough to the pole never seen to rise or set are called circumpolar stars. These stars always remain above an observer's horizon. Different stars are circumpolar to different observers.

Imagine standing at the North Pole. You would see Polaris overhead with all the other stars spinning around it. In reality, you are the one who is spinning. From the North Pole, all of the motion of the stars is horizontal. Stars at the horizon skim along the horizon, never rising or setting. The stars higher in the sky also move horizontally, never moving up or down. From the poles, all visible stars are circumpolar.

At the Earth's equator, the situation is different. The celestial poles appear at the horizon on the north and south points. As stars move around the poles, they all rise and set, no matter how close to the pole they are. From here, there are no circumpolar stars. As you move from the equator to the pole, you will see gradually more and more stars become circumpolar, until on finally reaching the pole you find that all stars are circumpolar.

For centuries, the day has been the most fundamental unit of time in the calendar. Measuring the passage of days is as easy as counting sunrises or sunsets. The earliest clocks, the predecessors to the sundial, worked by tracking the daily motion of the Sun across the sky.

A sundial uses the position of the Sun to give the time. (The gnomon of a sundial can be used to find north: the shortest shadow cast by the sun (at noon) points north.) Of course, not all clocks work by measuring the Sun, although all work by measuring some reliably periodic and regular process. A wristwatch, for example, measures the oscillations of a quartz crystal. Atomic clocks use the natural period of oscillation of cesium atoms to measure time. Other systems of time are tied to the motion of the Earth, but there are a variety of ways to measure time in this way. The time measured by any particular method is not guaranteed to agree with the time measured by another, so it is sometimes necessary to convert between different "kinds" of time.

The time measured by sundials is called local solar time. The local solar time progresses according to the Sun's motion around the Earth. Since the Earth's speed in its orbit around the Sun changes slightly over the course of a year, this motion is not completely uniform. Sometimes, when the Earth is moving faster in its orbit, the solar day is shorter. Early timekeepers never noticed this slight difference, but the appearance of accurate mechanical clocks made it possible to measure the small changes in the length of the day.

To deal with this problem, astronomers invented mean solar time. The mean solar time averaged the length of the day so that each day was of the same length. This standard is up to fifteen minutes off from the true solar time, but is much more convenient for clocks that are accurate enough to see the difference. Over the course of a year, the local solar time drifts, but the two always agree after a full year has passed.

For much of history, every town in the world kept a slightly different "correct time" from every other town. Under local solar time, noon occurs at the moment the Sun passes through the observer's meridian. Two observers in different locations will observe local noon to occur at different times. This is why local solar time is called "local." This difference wasn't a problem when transportation and communication were slow, but the advance of trains and telegraphs made even a small difference between nearby towns important. To deal with this, the time zones were developed. The standard time was defined to be the time at a nearby line of longitude. For most locations, the time zone was offset by an round number of hours from the time measured at Earth's prime meridian.

For historical reasons, the prime meridian is based on the line of longitude through the observatory in Greenwich, England. That time zone is known as Greenwich Mean Time, and is often used as a standard for when one wishes to compare times without taking local time zones into account. For this reason (since it is used universally) it is also called Universal Time. This is the most commonly used form of solar time, and the most commonly used measure of time in general.

It's very natural to use the Sun as a standard of time, since the cycles of day and night are so important to life on Earth. For this reason, most people think of a day as the time it takes the Sun to move through the sky once. The apparent motion of the Sun in the sky is similar to the motion of everything else, but not exactly the same. The daily motion is driven almost entirely by the rotation of the Earth, but the Sun's motion differs from the stars' motion. This happens because the Earth is moving around the Sun. The Earth moves a little in its orbit while a it rotates and day passes. Because the Earth's position has changed, a full rotation doesn't quite bring the Sun all the way around the sky. This means that the Earth makes a little more than a full rotation over the course of a solar day.

A sidereal day is the amount of time it takes for the stars to go once around the sky, equal to 23 hours and 56 minutes. The word sidereal means "relating to the stars." The difference in length between the solar and sidereal day causes the rising and setting times of stars to change throughout the year. If the star Rigel, for example, rises at noon today, it will rise at 11:56 tomorrow. In six months, it will rise at midnight. Because the difference between solar days is tied to the orbit of the Earth, there is exactly one more sidereal day in a year than there are solar days.

A sidereal month is the period of the moon in relation to the stars; approximately 27 (1/3) days (13 degrees a day). Ancient peoples used this period to track time, as evidenced by the Big Horn Medicine Wheel in Sheridan, Wyoming.

Sidereal time is widely used in astronomy because it can be used to tell which stars will be up. At a given sidereal time, the stars in the sky will always be the same. Accurately finding the position of stars is easier than finding the position of the Sun, so measurements of the solar time are usually based indirectly on the sidereal time. Modern techniques measure time from atomic clocks, which are then tied to the motion of the Earth by measurement of the sidereal time.

A synodic month is one new moon to the next; approximately 29.5 days. This is about two days longer than the sidereal month. The reason for this is that while the Moon is orbiting the Earth, the Earth is orbiting the Sun. Therefore, the Moon has to travel more than 360 degrees to return to its original position above the same meridian on the Earth.

For anyone living on the coast, tides play an important role in everyday life. Despite this, the cause of the tides was a mystery for centuries, before gravity was well understood. People have always suspected that tides are related to the moon, since high tides always occur when the Moon is highest in the sky and again when the Moon is lowest below the horizon. This turns out to be correct.

Tides occur because the gravitational pull from the Moon is greater on the side of the Earth facing the Moon than on the side facing away. As a result, the gravitational pull "stretches" the Earth. The tidal pull from the Moon gives the Earth an oblong shape. The pull affects the ocean more strongly than the ground, because the ocean is liquid and less resistant to movement.

The stretching effect from the tides creates two places on Earth where the tides are high, with one high tide on the side of the Earth facing the Moon and the other on the side opposite the Moon. As the Earth rotates, the locations under the positions of high tides also move. If the moon didn't orbit around the Earth, high tide would occur exactly twice a day, every 12 hours. The orbit of the moon changes the position of the high tides over the course of the month, which lengthens the time between high tides to about 12½ hours.

The Sun also has a tidal influence on the Earth, although this is a much smaller effect than the Moon's tidal influence. Because of the difference in the gravitational pull from the Sun on opposite sides of the Earth is much smaller, the Sun's tendency to make the Earth bulge is much less. Still, the contribution to tides from the Sun is noticeable. When the Sun, Moon and Earth are aligned, the Sun adds to the Moon's tidal pull, making the tides greater. This is called the spring tide. (The spring tide has no connection with the season of spring.) When the Moon is at a right angle with the Sun, the Sun's tidal pull interferes with the Moon's, making the tides weaker. This configuration is called the neap tide.

The Monarchy (comics)

The Monarchy was an American comic book series written by Doselle Young with art by John McCrea. It was published by WildStorm, an imprint of DC Comics. The series focused on ex-Stormwatch members Jackson King and Christine Trelane (formerly known as Battalion and Synergy) gathering a team of superheroes for the extra-dimensional Weavers.

Creation
The series was a spin-off of WildStorm's successful The Authority, where King and Trelane had made minor supporting appearances.

Publishing history
The Monarchy was preceded by a larger appearance for the characters in The Authority #21 During publication, Young frequented DC's official messageboard, interacting with fans of the series. The Monarchy ran for 12 issues before ending due to low sales; Young felt delays to early issues adversely affected the series' fortunes and expressed hopes of continuing the series further down the line.

Plot
During a party on the Carrier with the Authority, where King is increasingly annoyed with his former teammates and their methods, the Weavers contact King and inform him that the universe as they know it is threatened by Chimaera. To combat Chimaera, King and Trelane have to gather a group of unique individuals. They accept - leaving their jobs with the United Nations as liaisons to the Authority, get married and disappear. The UN orders FBI agent Morro to investigate their disappearance.

Over the next few months King and Trelane gather resources; they resurrect the superhero Union, free the chaos-artist Condition Red from his imprisonment and enlist Professor Q. Next they enlist Jon Farmer, who had been a member of a previous, alternate version of the Monarchy called the Throne. Farmer had been living as a priest for years, but King and Trelane convince him to join them. The team also recruits former Stormwatch member Union, resurrected as a merciless vigilante. King and Trelane then obtain essential weapons: a Kheran Dream Engine and an unrevealed weapon in exchange for the spirit of Hitler, who had possessed a politician. Their next recruit is Addie Vochs, a Century Baby whose powers had been repressed by the Fever Men, evil creatures of pure thought. Vochs is rejuvenated and receives her powers. King then investigates the former home of Henry Bendix, a genius and one-time Stormwatch commander. He finds information on creating a powerful being by binding an ancient Native American god to the soul of a human. King follows the instructions, tying the spirit of Los Angeles to the failed superhero Bram Dusk, but the resulting creature turns on King and kills him. In the end, Dusk takes control and becomes the Metropolitan.

Chimaera notices the threat of the Monarchy, while the Monarchy find out what exactly Chimaera is: due to the Authority's frequent travels through the Bleed, their characteristics and aggression were imprinted on many worlds. Several alternate versions of the Authority band together and conquer other worlds, forming Chimaera, an ever-expanding empire of evil Authorities led by the Higher Power, a reptilian version of the Authority. Chimaera attacks the Throne, the base of the Monarchy. The Monarchy manages to escape thanks to Jon Farmer’s sacrifice. Trelane leads her people towards a sanatorium where Malcolm King, Jackson's younger brother, is staying. Agent Morro is questioning Malcolm, but finds Malcolm has the Kheran Dream Engine and is a member of the Monarchy. Morro suddenly starts to remember a hidden program Jackson King put in his mind: he's King's backup and has King's plans telepathically planted inside his mind. Christine arrives and greets Malcolm, while Addie Vochs calms Morro. The Monarchy regroups and opens their attack on Chimaera following the plans Jackson left in Morro's head.

Elsewhere Bendix, now allied with the Weavers, finds the spirit of Jackson King and resurrects him as a being of pure willpower. King contacts the essence of Farmer and shapes it into a sword. Bendix also reveals the secret weapon they received in return for the spirit of Hitler: Fenris, the mythological wolf of Norse myth. King, Bendix and Fenris attack Chimaera as well. Together they defeat the troops of Chimaera and Trelane leads Malcolm and Addie Vochs to combine their powers, curing Chimaera's corrupted center. Trelane recruits a young boy named Matt who has the power to create superhumans and takes the Monarchy to the Throne, a mobile world and their new headquarters.

Characters

 * Jackson King: telekinetic and telepath. Former leader of Stormwatch as Battalion, Jackson became the UN liaison to the Authority after Stormwatch disbanded. He grew more and more displeased with the Authority and accepted the Weaver's assignment. He now leads the Monarchy.
 * Christine Trelane: formerly the Stormwatch member Synergy, Christine possesses the rare and valuable power of "Activation", allowing her to turn ordinary humans into superhumans. She is married to Jackson King and her intelligence and organisation skills make her as much the leader of the Monarchy as Jackson is.
 * Jon Farmer: formerly the youngest member of the Throne, a previous version of the Monarchy until it was destroyed by an alternate version of Abraham Dusk. The Throne's version of Jackson King threw Farmer into the Bleed before detonating their base, leaving Farmer as the sole survivor. Farmer arrived on Earth in 1967 and had a brief career as a superhero before becoming a priest. Farmer had the ability to manipulate light and superluminal projection for flight and other effects, but his being jettisoned into the bleed changed his powers into a rainbow-colored energy dealing in the electromagnetic spectrum. Enabling its use for various effects, capable of superhuman physicality, dimensional porting, aviation under his own power and later; vast reality warping.
 * Union: Ohmen, an alien from the planet Agea, became Union, a veteran superhero in the Wildstorm Universe. He served with Stormwatch as a reserve member and had a long career as a solo hero. During the party on the Authority's Carrier, Union committed suicide. Jackson then took his Justice Stone and resurrected Union, now as a dark and brooding man who was focused more on punishing the guilty than saving the innocent. Union's powers are the result of the Justice Stone implanted in his chest. It allows him to generate objects made from energy, like his fighting staff, gives him superhuman strength, durability and flight.
 * Condition Red: Caleb was a trickster, imprisoned and tortured by his enemy Doctor Osiris for sleeping with his daughters. King and Trelane freed him and in return he joined the Monarchy. Condition Red reveals little about himself, acting glibly towards everyone. He has special weaponry that is capable of removing spirits from a person's body as well as more conventional weaponry. He also possesses a special device, looking like a vial of smoke that allows him to teleport.
 * Professor Q: nicknamed the "Calculator Goddess", she has superhuman intelligence and seems to enjoy herself the most when she is fighting. She can generate machinery as quickly as she can invent it and was able to generate a singularity generator in picoseconds. She develops a romantic interest in Malcolm King.
 * Vox Populi: Addie Vochs is a Century Baby born one year later than the others. Addie's powers were locked away for most of her life and when Trelane and Professor Q visit her she is an old woman. Trelane rejuvenates her and awakens her powers Addie Vochs becomes Vox Populi, capable of using her voice for various effects ranging from destructive songs to calming tunes.
 * The Metropolitan: Abraham Dusk received superpowers when he was hit by lightning. As “the Last Angel”, he was a superhero with superhuman speed and agility, but was a failure both as a hero and in his private life. King decides to give him a chance at more power and bonds his soul to Chichinika, the snake god of Los Angeles. The resulting creature kills King, but with Farmer and Condition Red’s help, Bram manages to take control and becomes the Metropolitan. As the Metropolitan, Bram can adapt to whatever is thrown at him, constantly changing his abilities to remain unpredictable.
 * Malcolm King: brother to Jackson King and the former Stormwatch member Strafe, Malcolm was put into a sanatorium when his brother's telepathy put him into a coma. When Agent Morro tries to find out more about Jackson King, Malcolm reveals that he has merged with the Kheran Dream Engine and is a member of the Monarchy. Christine Trelane dubs Malcolm 'Bellerophon'.
 * Fenris: the secret weapon of the Monarchy is the mythological wolf from Norse myth that will swallow the sun at Ragnarok. Traded for the spirit of Hitler with some mysterious entities, the Monarchy receives Fenris as a little wolf, but after a few months it has grown to the size of a large building. Fenris doesn't seem to be more intelligent than a regular wolf and obeys King's commands. He seems to be little more than a living weapon of mass destruction.
 * Matt: gifted with the ability to give superhuman powers to regular humans as well as possessing enormous destructive powers himself, Matt is saved by Jon Farmer when his powers make him release an enormous explosion. He is the first recruit of the Monarchy after they defeat Chimaera.
 * The Weavers: Souls of dead humans who have the task of safeguarding the multiverse. They often appear as spiders or human-spider hybrids. They give information to the humans they work with, but don't act themselves in any way.
 * Henry Bendix: An alternate universe version of the former Stormwatch Weatherman, he secretly replaced his Wildstorm Universe counterpart shortly after the reorganization of Stormwatch. His actions eventually lead his teammates to assume that he is insane, which in turn leads him to eventually be killed by Jenny Sparks. Bendix reveals that this was just a plot to turn into an imaginary being made out of pure willpower. As an imaginary being, he has nicknamed himself Happy Hank Bendix and acts like a completely different man than before. Bendix is a genius and uses weapons of his own design to help the Weavers in their task.
 * Agent Morro: An FBI agent tasked with finding King and Trelane, Morro turns out to be a vital part of King's plan.

Reception
Reviewing the Bullets Over Babylong trade paperback in 2012, Chaos McKenzie of Ain't It Cool News praised the series' vision. Frank Plowright of Slings & Arrows however felt the series was a let-down compared to The Authority, while Chad Evett of Comic Book Resources appreciated the series' attempts to do something different with the genre but felt let down by the ending.

Soo Line Building

The Soo Line Building is a 19-story residential highrise in Minneapolis, Minnesota which was the tallest commercial building in the city from the time it was completed in 1915 until the 26-story Foshay Tower was built in 1929.

History
The Soo Line Building was built for the First National Bank of Minneapolis, a predecessor of today's U.S. Bancorp (U.S. Bank). The building was designed by the Beaux-Arts master Robert W. Gibson. The building later served for many years as headquarters of the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad, which added an iconic clock to the corner of the building's street level. For commercial purposes, it was sometimes referred to by its address, 501 Marquette.

The Canadian Pacific Railway became a major shareholder for the Soo Line in 1890. The MStP&SSM merged with numerous CP subsidiaries in 1961 to form the "new" Soo Line Railroad.

During the 1960s, a remodeling operation transformed the building into small offices. The marble floors were covered with carpet.

In 1985, the Soo purchased trackage from the bankrupt Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad ("Milwaukee Road") and usurped it a year later. CP purchased the company outright in 1990; the Calgary-based railway's U.S. headquarters then took over the space for its 400 employees.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 12, 2008.

In 2011, the building was purchased by Michigan-based developer Village Green Properties for $11.3 million; after the commercial tenants were relocated, Village Green began conversion of the property in October 2012 into a 254-unit luxury apartment building with a street-level restaurant, scheduled for completion in Fall 2013. In 2012, the CP moved out of the building.

The first residents of the remodeled building moved in by the end of 2013.

Location
The building is located across Marquette Avenue from the 510 Marquette Building, the original Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. A skyway connects the building to its neighbor across 5th Street South. Residents' amenities include a rooftop, an indoor/outdoor pool, and a hot tub on the 20th floor.

In front of that building is the Nicollet Mall station of the Blue and Green light rail lines. Nearby is Canadian Pacific Plaza, renamed after the Canadian Pacific Railroad moved in after vacating the Soo Line Building.

User:JWSchmidt/Blog/25 January 2007

GIMP  I finally decided to try GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program. I made a short animated gif based on part of this QuickTime movie from Wikiversity Reports.

There is something odd about the colors when a file goes from Macintosh Claris Draw into X11 and GIMP. The "flashed text" in the animated gif should be red and green. If I am going to use GIMP I'm going to have to read the documentation...it is not conventional Macintosh software. After finding how to view the layers of a GIMP image (no, you do not open the layers window from the windows menu! You open the "layers dialog" from the main file menu) and paste content into layers (no, "paste" does not do it, not even "paste into", that just makes a floating layer...you have to right click on that and "anchor" it) it was not too bad. Many thanks to yeoman on #wikiversity-en!

The X11 installation into Macintosh OS 10.4 was no problem.....it is an option on the install disc. There was a fat 55 MB update waiting in software update. The GIMP installation (Gimp-2.2.11.dmg) was a little spooky with it wanting to swap out one of the X11 files right at the start.

Portals  I updated Portal:Media to the "editable box" format.....that's number 10! This particular portal took extra time because I decided to try to make the animated gif using GIMP (see above). This required that I find the software install disk for my Mac. Not hard, but I decided that it was time for New Year cleaning of the entropic mess that had accumulated in all the CDs and DVDs. Also, I decided to backup the old hard drive (4.3 GB for 2006) and repair permissions on the HD.

Still remaining (master list) are: Research, Professions, Learning Projects, Learning Materials.

It is very interesting. Has anybody got suggestions for winter reading? Stylistically, I like Asimov's works.

Cookbook:Salting

Salting is a method of preserving food, that was more common before modern refrigeration.

Salting preserves food by drawing water out of the food, preventing bacteria growing and spoiling the food.

There are two methods of salting food:

Dry Curing

The food is surrounded in salt and left in a cool dry place. As water will be drawn out into the salt it may be necessary to pour the accumulated liquid out. Wet Curing

A brine is prepared by dissolving salt in water, the food is then placed in the brine and left in a cool dry place. It is possible to introduce new flavours to the food by adding spices to the brine, for example juniper berries or peppercorns.

Depending on how much salt is used the food could last for a few months to a few years, and the technique adds flavor as well, though some do not like the taste of salted foods. Salted food is very salty and may need to be reconstituted, to reintroduce water and remove some of the salt.

Some popular salted foods are Lox and the less salty (and thus less preserved) counterpart Nova Lox.

My Blog My Wiki

I plan to be a Professor of Philosophy. My wiki and my blog are intended to help me track my research. I am researching different schools in order to decide where I might want to teach. I am doing this in order to find out where the Philosophy faculty of those schools earned their Doctorate Degrees. In this way I will be able to decide where I would like to attend Graduate School.

I am in the very early stages of this research so there is not much there yet.

Introduction to Foucault

One of the broader modern views of the importance of power in human activity comes from the work of Michel Foucault, who has said, "Power is everywhere...because it comes from everywhere." —Aldrich, Robert and Wotherspoon, Gary (Eds.), 2001

Foucault on Power
Foucault's analysis of power is founded on his concept "technologies of power". Discipline is a complex bundle of power technologies developed during centuries as Foucault demonstrated in Discipline and Punish. For Foucault, power is exercised with intention. Instead of analyzing the difficult problem of who has which intentions, he focused on what is intersubjectively accepted knowledge about how to exercise power. For Foucault, power is actions upon others' actions in order to interfere with them. Foucault does not recur to violence, but says that power presupposes freedom in the sense that power is not enforcement, but ways of making people by themselves behave in other ways than they else would have done. One way of doing this is by threatening with violence. Yet, suggesting how happy people will become by buying an ATV is exercise of power as well, and there is a huge knowledge of techniques for how to (try to) elicit such behavior within marketing.

Foucault's works analyze the link between power and knowledge. He outlines a form of covert power that works through people rather than only on them. Foucault claims belief systems gain momentum (and hence power) as more people come to accept the particular views associated with that belief system as common knowledge (hegemony). Such belief systems define their figures of authority, such as medical doctors or priests in a church. Within such a belief system or discourse, ideas crystallize as to what is right and what is wrong, delineating what is normal and what is deviant. Within a particular belief system certain views, thoughts, or actions become unthinkable. These ideas, being considered undeniable "truths", come to define a particular way of seeing the world, and the particular way of life associated with such "truths" becomes normalized. This subtle form of power lacks rigidity, and other discourses can contest it. Indeed, power itself lacks any concrete form, occurring as a locus of struggle. Resistance, through defiance, defines power and hence becomes possible through power. Without resistance, power is absent, but it would be a mistake, some recent writers insist, to attribute to Foucault an oppositional power-resistance schema as is found in many older, foundationalist theoreticians. This view 'grants' individuality to people and other agencies, even if it is assumed a given agency is part of what power works in or upon. Still, in practice, Foucault often seems to deny individuals this agency, which is contrasted with sovereignty (the old model of power as efficacious and rigid).

"One needs to be nominalistic, no doubt: power is not an institution, and not a structure; neither is it a certain strength we are endowed with; it is the name that one attributes to a complex strategic situation in a particular society." (History of Sexuality, p.93)

"Domination" is not "that solid and global kind of domination that one person exercises over others, or one group over another, but the manifold forms of domination that can be exercised within society." (ibid, p.96)

"One should try to locate power at the extreme of its exercise, where it is always less legal in character." (ibid, p.97)

"The analysis [of power] should not attempt to consider power from its internal point of view and...should refrain from posing the labyrinthine and unanswerable question: 'Who then has power and what has he in mind? What is the aim of someone who possesses power?' Instead, it is a case of studying power at the point where its intention, if it has one, is completely invested in its real and effective practices." (ibid, p.97)

"Let us ask...how things work at the level of on-going subjugation, at the level of those continuous and uninterrupted processes which subject our bodies, govern our gestures, dictate our behaviours, etc....we should try to discover how it is that subjects are gradually, progressively, really and materially constituted through a multiplicity of organisms, forces, energies, materials, desires, thoughts, etc. We should try to grasp subjection in its material instance as a constitution of subjects." (ibid, p.97)

Caught these additional accounts after my initial report above. Just after my nominating the sockmaster's userpage for deletion, the first IP steps in and removes the CSD template. After checking its contributions, I discovered edits to the registered user's userpage, and the user was abusing his userpage in the same way as the sockmaster and the above sockpuppet.

Admin needed to check deleted edits.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  22:46, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Tough to say. This guys got only one edit (albeit deleted), and while the gist of the edit was somewhat similar to the sockmasters 1st deleted edit there is insufficient evidence at the moment to use as comparison for proof of socking. At best its a smarter sock, at worst some poor fool who made the wrong edit, and in either case I'd say it'd be a coin toss as to whether it'd be worth it to proceed. Sorry, but thats the best I can do. Perhaps a second opinion may help. TomStar81 (Talk) 23:45, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

And just after his last sock is blocked, he strikes again! Yet another WP:DUCK, acting almost exactly like the last sock! Gparyani (talk) 16:55, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * It would also be great if an admin could write an abuse filter to deal with this, as this sockmaster's edits appear to be very similar. If his sockfarm gets too large (50-100+ socks), I'm going to file a WP:LTA case. Should I? Gparyani (talk) 17:03, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * This one is intense, but it hasn't been going on all that long yet, and may well burn out. I would consider an LTA if it's still going after 3 months and 50 socks, though an LTA doesn't actually help, it just provides a reference point. The place to ask for an edit filter is Edit filter/Requested, but again, I'm not sure - a filter adds a small overhead to every single edit, and is relatively easy to evade by the sort of spelling variations he has been using already.

Even after a five-week hiatus, this operation seems to continue. All of the above accounts were caught by the edit filter created to catch sockpuppets of this user (see links at top of page). Though it's been a while since they have edited, they may rise again after a long hiatus (as what happened; see the edit filter logs). Therefore, they should be blocked, and also for completeness's sake. Gparyani (talk) 04:49, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

Caught by the edit filter. Checking the details reveals that he is the same person trying to create the same autobiography.

Also, another little oddity: he's finally learned about not promoting himself on Wikipedia, but he is still trying to promote his alternative outlet:.

An IP address was caught by the filter a while ago, but I didn't report it because from its contributions, it appeared to be that of an Internet café, shared IP, or open proxy IP. Gparyani (talk) 16:17, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

In addition, one of the formerly blocked socks is using Commons to bypass the block. See. Gparyani (talk) 17:56, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

WP:DUCK. Edit filter logs show clearly that he is the same person trying to promote the same website as the last sock did. Also seems to be (unsuccessfully) trying to bypass by not including "Ankur Mazumder" in his username. Gparyani (talk) 06:44, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

 * It's been over a week since this case was filed; I'm going to go ahead and withdraw & close my own case as it's no use taking action against the IP. In fact, it might be a dynamic IP, based on the contribution history. Gparyani (talk) 04:24, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Edits blocked by edit filter, along with diff, attempt to add "I am Ankur Mazumder" to the pages, making this a confession. Can someone please modify the filter to also check user talk space too? Gparyani (talk) 17:28, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Special:AbuseLog/13391698. This, among others, is one of his favorite topics. Waiting long periods of time (5-6 weeks) before trying to post on Wikipedia is one of his known behaviors, too. Gparyani (talk) 21:55, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

It's certainly him again, but this attempt is not enough to justify a long block, and given his usual habits a short block would have no effect. We'll just have to go on playing whack-a-mole. Marking for close. JohnCD (talk) 09:39, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

This user is recreating the same autobiography as was previously deleted under their other accounts, but under a slightly different name.

 * Ankur Mazumder
 * Ankur Mazumder (Poet)
 * Ankur Mazumder (writer) (Most recent)

Judging by the length of the archives here, this isn't their first rodeo. ~ Erick Shepherd  • ( Talk ) • 15:51, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
