Alex Johnson (climber)

Alexandra Johnson (born April 3, 1989) is an American rock climber who specializes in bouldering and who has made numerous first female ascents of notable boulders, including Clear Blue Skies in Colorado, and Book of Nightmares  and Lethal Design  in Red Rocks. Her highest rated boulder send, as of 2022, was The Swarm at grade in Bishop. In competition bouldering, she won the overall American Bouldering Series in 2009, and has twice won individual stages in the annual IFSC Climbing World Cup series in bouldering.

Early life
Alex Johnson was born and raised in Hudson, Wisconsin. She began climbing in 1997, won her first American Bouldering Series Youth Climbing National Championship in 2002 at age twelve, and won the Adult National Championships in 2003 at age thirteen. She continued to win professional bouldering competitions throughout her childhood, but in her last two years of high school she turned away from climbing to focus her energy on track, and in 2007, she won the Wisconsin State Championships in pole vaulting. This win helped her earn a track and field scholarship to attend Minnesota State University.

Competition climbing
In 2008, she won the first stage of the annual IFSC Climbing World Cup series for bouldering that was held in America (Anna Stöhr won the overall 2008 World Cup for bouldering. After her first World Cup stage win, Johnson left Minnesota State University and moved to Colorado to focus on bouldering. She won the overall 2009 American Bouldering Series (ABS 10), and took second to Alex Puccio in another 2009 World Cup stage (Akiyo Noguchi won the overall 2009 Bouldering World Cup), but won a second World Cup stage in 2010 (Akiyo Noguchi also won the overall 2010 Bouldering World Cup).

She then moved to Europe to train with the Austrian team, but after a string of disappointing finishes in 2011 and a bout of debilitating depression, Johnson returned to the US. Between 2012 and 2015, she placed well in several national and international competitions, including first place at the UBC Pro Tour Championships in 2012 and second place, again to Alex Puccio, in the American Bouldering Series National Championships. After a three-year break from competition climbing, during which time she coached, Johnson returned in 2019 as part of a bid for the 2020 Olympics.

Bouldering
Although Johnson is best known as a competition climber, she has increasingly focused on outdoor climbing, and she has claimed the first female ascent of several notable outdoor problems, including Luminance, Whispers of Wisdom, Across the Tracks, Progressive Guy, Vigilante, Stake Your Claim, Diesel Power, Beyond Life, Dark Horse, Seek and Destroy, and Prune Tang at the V10 grade, Stand and Deliver, Drive On, Divergence, Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves, and Double Stack at V11, and Clear Blue Skies, The Mystery, Diaphanous Sea, and Lethal Design, and Book of Nightmares at V12. She has also done a successful ascent of “The Swarm” at V13/14. Like many women who have claimed first female ascents of difficult problems, Johnson faced controversy and the threat of a downgrade after many of her V12 first female ascents.

Personal life
In 2018, Johnson accepted a job offer for head coach of her hometown gym, Vertical Endeavors, in St. Paul Minnesota and moved there with her girlfriend. Johnson coaches a group of 16 kids and is an ally and advocate for their success.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/S. H. Bihari

The result was   keep. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:12, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

S. H. Bihari

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Fails WP:NOTE and WP:V completely. A glance over Google books does not provide any indication that WP:NOTE could be met (just discussions about movies that he did the soundtrack for, only mentioning him in passing). Ian.thomson (talk) 03:22, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm confused about this nomination, as the nominator acknowledges that most of the article is verifiable on Google books. These credits are probably sufficient to pass WP:CREATIVE. Given that the subject died in 1987 and that his work was in India it's not surprising that there's little on-line information about his life. I submit that any songwriter who had composed music for at least 22 Hollywood movies would be considered notable. Pburka (talk) 03:39, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Did you not read the part where I said that the few mentions are only in passing, and thus fail WP:NOTE? And do did sources causing the article to meet WP:V appear in the article before I nominated it?  I found nothing about him directly, only stuff about movies, with a mention "oh, by the way, this guy did the soundtrack." Ian.thomson (talk) 03:48, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Lack of sources is not a legitimate reason for deletion. Editors are expected to search for sources WP:BEFORE nominating articles for deletion. Clearly you did so, which is good, but you still claimed that the article "fails … WP:V completely", which I found puzzling. Pburka (talk) 01:08, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of India-related deletion discussions.  • Gene93k (talk) 00:55, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions.  • Gene93k (talk) 00:56, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep: Passes WP:Creative. And definitely notable for writing some golden classics like "Bahut Shukriya Badi Meherbani", "Yehi Woh Jagah Hai", "Zara Haulle Haulle Challo Mere Sajna", "Kajra Mohabbat Wala", "Chain Se Hamko Kabhi Aapne Jeene Na Diya" and all the classics of Kashmir Ki Kali including "Diwana Huwa Badal". §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 08:42, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, could you please present one source that passes WP:NOTE? All I found was passing mentions, not anything beyond trivial coverage. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:22, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Here's his biography at a major Indian radio station: http://www.planetradiocity.com/musicopedia/music_lyricists.php?conid=1164 Also keep in mind, as I noted above, that the subject died in 1987. Given his prolific output in between 1953 and 1987 it's almost certain that significant coverage exists in off-line sources. Pburka (talk) 00:55, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I am not sure if direct sources about the subject would be available online. But proving his work to be notable could be a way here. But i couldnt find that too. I dont know how i can prove that these songs, amongst maybe others, are notable. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 09:59, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Notable lyricist! I am also surprised to see the nomination! -- Tito Dutta  ✉  02:49, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep A lyricist with a long history of contibutions to Indian cinema. We protect such if verifiable. In our understanding that pre-1990s Indian sources are not well represented on the internet, just as are not pre-1990s Indian films, we do not insist that someone whose death predates the existance of internet itself would have continued coverage online. Worth noting also, is that even after his 1987 death, his works continue to be used in film. Enough of a legacy for him to be included here.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 18:27, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep I share the confusion about the nomination, especially by someone who confesses to know a very limited amount about Hindi cinema. A correction to the original note, S. H. Bihari did not "do the soundtrack for" anything. He was a song-writer/poet, not a composer. His songs and the movies they were part of, were widely watched in India, South-East Asia and across the Middle-East. He collaborated with the major composers, singers and musicians of his generation in India and the words to his songs are remembered by millions. Purely as an example, a much stronger case could be made for the non-notability and limited reach of an artist like Jonathan Larson, whose single Broadway musical was not as widely distributed as the movies and songs of Bihari (and is arguably a derivative work). The difference in assumed notability is that Bihari wrote in a poorer country, in an era before the Internet, and in a language unfamiliar to the contributor. Indian newspapers of his generation were about a tenth the size of American papers and books had very limited runs as newsprint and pulp were prohibitively expensive in the India of his time. You will find very limited references to even more significant song-writers who died prior to the eighties. In addition, literacy rates below 50% meant culture was largely oral, and songs in movies had even more significance. You would have to go back to the 19th century, or the deep south and Appalachia to find a time and place in the US where songs were as important. Of course, you will find more sources in Google Books for those eras because competent folk-art studies have been completed and wonderful surveys were done as part of the WPA. I will try to scan a copy of his obituary which was published in the Times of India. This deletion request should not have been raised by a contributor who is unfamiliar with the area and the subject. §§SubirGrewal  —Preceding undated comment added 01:32, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The obituary would be a great resource if you could scan it. Thank you! Pburka (talk) 02:02, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Tagetes

Etymology
From, , , a borrowing, originally meaning the pellitory of Spain , compare 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, , 🇨🇬, and 🇨🇬 passed from Berber ; by confusion also meaning the feverfew  – the words in the word family  are possibly related. It was only in 1535 that with his African campaign, hit by the brilliance of their colours, introduced the first Tagetes species cultivated in Europe. Those at first bore many and sundry designations relating to their African or South American origins, but later a connection with the fabled pulcritude of the Etruscan divinity helped to cement this genus with this name, which in botanical literature was first erected, with this mythological explanation, by  1542 (in ).

Hypernyms

 * ; - subfamily;  - tribe

User:Nds5235/Evaluate an Article

Evaluate an article
This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.

 * Name of article: Social shaping of technology
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate. I chose this article because the course I am currently enrolled in is all about how technology is changing and shaping the world in both positive and negative ways.

Lead

 * Guiding questions

The Lead does include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic as it states that social shaping of technology is the concept   that there are choices (though not necessarily conscious choices) inherent in both the design of individual artifacts and systems, and in the direction or trajectory of innovation programs. The Lead does not include a description of the article's major sections because the article is relatively short and does not have any. The Lead does not include information that is not present in the article. The Lead is concise for this particular article, as it defines exactly what the article will discuss.

 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
 * Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?

Content

 * Guiding questions

The article's content is relevant to the topic as it discusses and the content is up to date. The content discusses different versions and types of technology models and how they have affected society. There is no content that does not belong, but the article is rather short and could possibly include some sub-parts to further elaborate.

 * Is the article's content relevant to the topic?
 * Is the content up-to-date?
 * Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?

Tone and Balance

 * Guiding questions

The article is neutral and talks about both positive and negatives sides of technology and how society has shaped and put an opinion on them. The article itself does not seem to contain bias; it is written from an optimistic perspective but that does not necessarily mean that it does not discuss both sides. There are not viewpoints that are over presented or underrepresented, but there are topics that can definitely go further into detail. The article does not attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another.

 * Is the article neutral?
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
 * Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?

Sources and References

 * Guiding questions

All of the facts in the article are backed up by a reliable secondary source of information which are located towards the bottom of the page. The sources are thorough and each title represents topics that are discussed in the article, and are correctly sourced. The sources could most definitely be more current, as technology has really advanced since some of the articles were published. The links do work when clicked on.

 * Are all facts in the article backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
 * Are the sources current?
 * Check a few links. Do they work?

Organization

 * Guiding questions

This article is very concise, clear, and easy to read especially since it is pretty short in length. The article was also edited well as it does not have any grammatical or spelling errors. The article does not present many major points, so it is not really broken down into sections.

 * Is the article well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
 * Does the article have any grammatical or spelling errors?
 * Is the article well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

Images and Media

 * Guiding questions

The article does not include images to enhance the understanding of the topic, therefore they are remainder of the questions do not apply.

 * Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
 * Are images well-captioned?
 * Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
 * Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?

Checking the talk page

 * Guiding questions

On the talk page, people talk positively about the article but they do say that they feel there should be more information. This is a broad topic and can really afford to add more examples, images, and facts. The article is part of three WikiProjects including, WikiProject Sociology, WikiProject History of Science, and WikiProject Technology. I think that the Wikipedia page discusses more historical theories and people in general who have played a role in technology than we discuss in class. Our class is very application based.

 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

Overall impressions

 * Guiding questions

The article's overall status is positive. The article is short and to the point while still getting the important across to the readers which is a strength, but can definitely add a few more points to add further examples and go into deeper detail. I believe that the article's completeness is well-developed but borderline under developed because there is still a lot of room for improvement.

 * What is the article's overall status?
 * What are the article's strengths?
 * How can the article be improved?
 * How would you assess the article's completeness - i.e. Is the article well-developed? Is it underdeveloped or poorly developed?

Optional activity

 * Choose at least 1 question relevant to the article you're evaluating and leave your evaluation on the article's Talk page. Be sure to sign your feedback

with four tildes — ~

Talk:Tony Trabert

Trabert vs. Gonzales: outdoor head-to-head score for 1956
So now this issue has arisen about the Trabert/Gonzales outdoor match score for 1956. I contacted someone with access to Tennisbase plus the contemporary media, and here are the results: Trabert defeated Gonzales in head-to-head matches outdoor in 1956 by a score of 15-11: including 1-1 on grass, 5-5 on cement, and 9-5 on clay. That is one amazing result for a rookie pro against prime Gonzales. You do not often hear this statistic being broadcast around very much, can't imagine why. Of course, Gonzales held a large edge indoors on that portable carpet which the pros moved around to local gyms on the tour. A completely different surface, which the rookie pros were new to.Tennisedu (talk) 01:31, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

There wouldn't need to be any voting, as it ought to be obvious from a user's contribs whether they're a vandal or not. - Aya T C 23:19, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Feel free to rewrite it, the simpler the better. (Donovan|Geocachernemesis|Interact) 00:20, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I'll leave it for now, since there are more important things to do, and no-one actually seems to use the page except you and I, especially now that we have sufficient admins in place to swiftly block vandals. - Aya T C 19:19, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

 * That's very concise and easily followed. :) (Donovan|Geocachernemesis|Interact) 00:19, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Ass Pus attacks
There must be something more that can be done about this idiot. Is it possible to track him down? Certainly where I am living the last image he uploaded (the infamous goatse image) would be considered porn and potentially he could be charged with illegal distribution of pornography as a criminal charge. Any other ideas? Kicking him off his ISP to make life harder for him? --Rob Horning 08:56, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I've already spoken to the server administrators. The problem is with Privacy policy. If a user registers for an account, then we can't do an IP block, so he can create infinite numbers of accounts, and retain his anonymity. Perhaps if the community voted to remove this restriction? I'll check if it can be negotiated. - Aya T C 16:17, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Update: Under point '5' of Privacy policy, it seems this information can be released, but doesn't specify a means for doing so. I'm attempting to find out the correct process for releasing this info. - Aya T C 16:30, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Update: After having chatted to some of the devs/sysadmin types (who must really hate me by now), it seems they all come from different IP addresses with different open proxies. Point is, there's no reasonable way to block the person (or people) who are doing it completely, without compromising the ability for newbies to use the system in a valid fashion. The best we can do is get IP addresses for users vandalising via open web proxies, and block those. See also Proxy blocking. - Aya T C 19:30, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

 * I am wondering if with the IP address we can do something like SpamCop where we will send annoying e-mails to the ISP complaining about vandalizing web pages. It seems as though that is also by itself illegal in many juristictions, perhaps even Florida (where these servers are physically located) as this is a form of assult.  Certainly if somebody put up some of the images that this vandal has been using in a supermarket, newspaper page, or other public forum they could get arrested for public lewdness.  Even with open proxies (except for awful places like Chinanet that don't care about the rest of the world...only if it affects chinese citizens will they complain) they do have tracelogs to find the dial-up phone number or DSL connection at some point in the routing.  If it is a corporate internet, the dude would be instantly fired.  It is possible to find out exactly who is doing this, if the ISPs will only cooperate.  As the server farm is in Florida, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission may also be able to help out in terms of applying legal pressure, or sending a goatse image to a senator might just do the trick (if you can explain this is the garbage kids are seeing on supposedly "kid friendly" internet pages like the Wikijunior page that was attacked in the last round).  Since we would know the time and the IP address, this information can be traced to a specific individual.  Technically the data is available, and I do think there would be people that could help out and put this idiot behind bars.  If there needs to be a law written to stop an idiot like this, I am politically active enough I might be able to get some action... particularly on how shocking images like this would be to a typical legislator.  --Rob Horning 20:14, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Because this guy is an attention seeking vandal, the less attention they receive the, less active they will be. We can fix the damage caused quite easily, so I wouldn't worry about them too much. But, I agree that we should also be applying pressure to track them down too, because they are a poor example for new contributors to Wikibooks. (Donovan|Geocachernemesis|Interact) 00:28, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

New procedure
For account-based vandalism attacks (especially ass pus), if you email the details to  then he will attempt to mass-block the IP on all Wikimedia wikis. Be sure to include:

 * The fact it originated on en.wikibooks.org
 * The username of the vandal

Tectonic plates
Sunset in El Porto, California<PHONE_NUMBER>).jpg The Earth is the only terrestrial planet with active plate tectonics. Due to plate tectonics the Earth's crust basically floats on the thick liquid rock of the mantle below. The crust is split up into parts called plates. These plates interact as they move about causing earthquakes and creating volcanoes and mountain ranges. The place where plates meet are called plate boundaries. There are three types of plate boundary: constructive, destructive and transform.

User:Cormaggio

Hi, my real name is Cormac Lawler. I've been closely involved with setting up and developing Wikiversity. This process has been the focus of my ongoing PhD (which began in September 2006, and which I will be submitting early 2011): to participate in the definition of what this space is, what it means in the context of the wider world of education, and what its opportunities and limitations are.

 * Real name: Cormac Lawler
 * Email: cormaggio (at) gmail (dot) com
 * Cormaggio on Wikipedia | Meta | Commons | Wikibooks and many other places :-) (It's an old nickname that I resurrected for an email address, which has subsequently stuck as an online moniker)
 * more detailed bio and interests
 * blog

Research

 * Developing Wikiversity through action research - main research page

I'm using a blog and a wiki to help document and facilitate my research, but I also intend to carry out much (if not most) of this on Wikiversity itself, particularly as we have developed this project with the potential for actually doing research (though these guidelines still need to be developed).

Courses

 * I participated for a while in AREOL25 (course home page here), until I lost track of a few weeks' emails, and gave up. :-(
 * Hoping to participate in David Wiley's Open Ed Intro course - but didn't :-(
 * Composing free and open online educational resources - beginning March 3rd 2008

Conferences

 * Learning and learning about learning in Wikiversity (Paper at Wikimania 2007)
 * ALT-C resources (details)
 * I'll be participating in a ECSIG meeting on "openness", in which I'll be outlining Wikiversity and its implications for education (see notes)
 * Collaborative research on Wikiversity (paper for Wikimania 2008)

Statistics
At , July, 2024 (UTC): pages,  articles,  files,  users &  admins; version

 * At 22:27, Jan 23, 2007 (UTC): 20,606 pages, 1,628 articles, 892 files, 5,725 users & 14 admins; version 1.10alpha (r19597)

Bureaucrat
I was made an English Wikiversity bureaucrat as a temporary measure on the project's first day, and held that lonesome position for quite a while (unnecessarily long as I subsequently found out), since when I've been joined by Sebmol. If you need any assistance, you can leave me a message on my talk page. If it's a general custodian (ie "admin") query, you might be better off with Request custodian action, as this is monitored by all custodians, not just me.

Some things I'm interested in doing

 * Write research-related guidelines (eg. Research and on Beta)
 * Help out on providing a comprehensive and easy-to-follow tutorial on what Wikiversity is, and how you can contribute and/or benefit from it.
 * Help in providing a framework for building Wikiversity, which I don't really think exists yet (so far, it's a bit piece-meal, and particular learning materials are connected with particular pedagogies, without making that explicit)
 * Develop School:Education, Learning, Disclosures
 * Work on Media literacy (and all my other interests), hopefully learning about what will work on Wikiversity through that process
 * Making an educational video
 * Metadata - what's happening on that front, I wonder..?
 * Participate in Topic:Audio Engineering - learn about making music

Projects

Talk:Pancho Segura

"two-handed, both sides", in the box
This is false -- he had a one-handed backhand. Only his forehand was hit with both hands. Hayford Peirce (talk) 18:49, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Having never seen Segoo play I have to go by other sources. This article claims he had a two-handed backhand although it mentions that it was not apparent as he had a single-handed follow through which seems to be corroborated by this image. Also this Corbis image shows a double-handed backhand. --Wolbo (talk) 11:58, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I saw him play several times, and he did NOT have a two-handed backhand. somewhere, in either kramer's book or the recent bio of him, segoo says that he never considered doing it that way as a kid, but that he should have.  the first pic clearly shows a one-handed shot -- the second pic looks like a posed publicity shot to me.... Hayford Peirce (talk) 19:24, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I downloaded the second picture, then "mirrored" it, flipping the image. Et voila! he is now hitting a two-handed forehand -- just as the caption on the photo itself says he is doing. Trust me on this. Hayford Peirce (talk) 12:55, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

The first answer is correct. I'm his stepson and can verify with no ambiguity that Pancho Segura had a two (2) handed Forehand only! He had a one (1) handed backhand with an assist with the left hand. He released the left hand as he impacted the ball. That was not the case with his forehand. He held the racket with both hands on his forehand all the way through the shot ending over his left shoulder. This was a unique shot with the right hand on top and the left hand underneath at the butt of the racket. The image claiming to be his two-handed backhand is simply a reversed negative. He is right handed and hit the forehand with one hand on occasion, mainly after his pro career when he was teaching. He also had a one (1) handed forehand volley. He learned to play with two hands as a youngster by force. It was not by choice and came about because he was very weak as a child. He suffered from malnutrition and developed rickets as a result. Its obvious to anyone that has seen his bowl legs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hotonnaroll (talk • contribs) 00:14, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the above comment! Have you read the fine biography of your stepfather, Little Pancho.  It has a couple of errors in the picture captions, and not enough info about his professional career, but is well worth reading. Hayford Peirce (talk) 17:03, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Date of Death
Reports say he died on Saturday November 18, 2017. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:59, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I have just read the Monday print edition of the New York Times. It states clearly that Segura died Saturday. That is the 18th. So I am changing it back. The New York Times can make errors, yes, but until someone comes up with a more authoritative source saying that he died on the 19th, I think we should go with this. Hayford Peirce (talk) 17:27, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Here is the direct quote from the New York Times -- it is the same in both the online and print edition: "Pancho Segura, who surmounted a sickly and impoverished childhood in Ecuador to become one of the world’s leading tennis players in the mid-20th century, died on Saturday at his home in Carlsbad, Calif. He was 96." As you can see, whether you speak American English, UK English, or Australian English, the key word is SATURDAY.  Ie, the 18th. Hayford Peirce (talk) 01:35, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Problem is, the NYT source is used to support various facts about him, BUT NOT for his death. The sole source we are using for his actual death, in the section titled "Death", is this, which is in Spanish and says "domingo" (= Sunday).  That's the only source I've been looking at, since it's the only one that has been chosen as relevant to his death.  --   Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  04:11, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
 * It's also the sole source used at his entry @ Deaths in 2017 (for 19 November, btw), which is where I read about his death in the first place. --   Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  04:16, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't want to start a war but all the sources I read in English report that he died Saturday, told by his son Spencer Segura : The New York Times, ESPN, The Associated Press, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post tells also November 18. Just want to help. Thanks. --Danielvis08 (talk) 06:18, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. So, we need to deprecate the Spanish source, remove it from the article and elsewhere, and use a more accurate inline source for his death.  Who's up for it? --   Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  08:35, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Could there be time zone shift problems in relation to the discrepancies? Maybe El Universo pulled it off a European wire source? Fyunck(click) (talk) 11:22, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I would happily put in a ref. source to the NYT article if it is the simple process used for OTHER sources. But this whole info business is a mystery to me.Hayford Peirce (talk) 15:07, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

One down
This edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pancho_Segura&type=revision&diff=970775075&oldid=966431243 was intended to fix a "Red Link".

One "to go"
However, that section -- (the "Retirement" section) -- also contained another "Red Link", (which is still red, and) which probably should be fixed, ... if someone can figure out what article it should link to (where it should "point" to). That hyperlink that is still "red", points to -- and is still displayed as -- "Beverly Hills Tennis Club". Perhaps that hyperlink was intended to be a reference to the tennis club of [what is now called] the "Los Angeles Country Club"? That is just a guess. Since it might not be correct, I decided to ask here, if anyone knows what was ("intended" to be) meant by ... << "Beverly Hills Tennis Club" >>.

Any comments?
Thanks for listening. --Mike Schwartz (talk) 09:13, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Segura play for USA?
There is no contemporary record showing that Segura ever represented the United States in tennis play. He may have done some coaching for the U.S. players after his retirement as a player himself. The 1946 French Championship records which were assembled in 2012 appear to indicate U.S. citizenship for Segura, but that citizenship was acquired in 1991, long after he had retired as a player. The 1946 press accounts of that French tournament indicate that Segura was representing Ecuador in the event.Tennisedu (talk) 16:12, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes there is. The official French Open draw has him listed as from the USA. Who you represent has absolutely nothing to do with citizenship and I'd go with French Open before I'd go with the press. Wimbledon in 1968 also lists him as USA. Fyunck(click) (talk) 21:32, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Fyunck, your link to the draw is not working. But it is not the original draw, just a copy of some results of the original draw, apparently dating from 2012, not 1946, and there is no indication that the "country" indicated is from that original draw. The original draw would not look like this, it would be a photo record of some sort. What makes you think that this is from 1946 when it says clearly 2012?Tennisedu (talk) 03:04, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I never said it was the original paperwork. I only said it was from the French Open. The same with the official Wimbledon website. I would go with their info before i would go with a newspaper's info. We obviously have some conflicting data... pretty common with old events like these. But to blanket whitewash some of this data is not kosher. We should simply present all sides. Fyunck(click) (talk) 03:10, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Which part was from the French Open? Those countries indicated could be added from 2012. You can get the original country indications from the contemporary newspapers, which shows that Segura is listed in 1946 at the French as representing Ecuador. Also, I have highlighted the 1946 US Indoor report where it says that Segura took that title OUT OF THE COUNTRY, meaning that he took it to ECUADOR which is "out of the country". You cannot take those 1946 French draw results, compiled and labelled in 2012, as indicating anything about 1946.Tennisedu (talk) 03:20, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Fyunck, check out the Miami Herald report of the 1946 French, linked in the article we have here, where it refers to Segura as "the Ecuadorian". Clearly, there was nothing in the French tournament for 1946 which labelled Segura as an American representative. The recent compilation you refer to is obviously mistaken, because by 2012 when it was made, Segura had indeed become an American citizen. That explains the confusion.Tennisedu (talk) 03:28, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Again for 1946, check the link given in this article for the 1946 US Championships, where the report refers to "Francisco Segura of Ecuador", so clearly Segura was not labelled as an American representative at the US championships in 1946. We could go through every tournament of those years, and you would never see any reference to Segura representing the US....it just did not happen.Tennisedu (talk) 03:40, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

 * I wouldnt assume that because the data comes from an official source that it is necessarily correct and neither would I assume the official drawsheets were all kept a long time ago. For instance, Talbert in Tennis Observed states in the 1940 US draw Frank Parker beat P. Maguire 6-3,6-1,7-5 in his first match. But the newspaper results of that day state Parker beat Segura by that score (along with the other results in that round). So this would mean Segura entered the US championships mens singles in 1940. https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/370347189/ "I would go with their info before i would go with a newspaper's info" you say fyunck. Newspaper results were published the day the matches occurred. There are many official sources that are wrong, because they have relied on someone finding and transcribing results, which includes human error.  It is a great mistake to rely on an "official" source as 100% accurate. Tennishistory1877 (talk) 12:10, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I never said I would rely on something 100%, whether it's the ATP, Wimbledon, or newspapers. Fyunck(click) (talk) 16:53, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

 * "I'd go with French Open before I'd go with the press". So with this thinking you would go with Talbert's book over contemporary press that states Segura played in 1940 US championships.  "Fourth-seeded Frank Parker eliminated the strongest of the group Pancho Segura, Ecuadorean, who saw a movie of Jack Bromwich and copied his two handed technique. Parker won 6-3, 6-1, 7-5, but only after Segura frittered away a 5-1 lead in the third set."  This sounds like a very accurate description of Segura to me. https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/446312275/ Tennishistory1877 (talk) 17:12, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Holy moly, how does that logic apply? A book is not the French Open or Wimbledon archives. You keep throwing out newspapers so that would be like me telling you that an Alabama High School newspaper is as accurate as the London Times. Fyunck(click) (talk) 17:35, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

 * You are aware that Bill Talbert was tournament director of the US championships for many years? The official Wimbledon history by John Barrett states Major Ritchie was the oldest competitor in the men's singles.  My research shows it was George Greville.  Both Talbert's book and Barrett's have a high standard of accuracy overall, but there are errors.  Not every newspaper sent reporters to events and the same results are often reprinted.  I am not saying newspapers are infallible, but all sources should be assessed and a decision should be made on which is correct using the preponderence of the evidence.  Contemporary sources are extremely valuable.   Tennishistory1877 (talk) 20:57, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * But we can't do that here if at all possible. We state all sides and give all sources for our readers. The preponderance will get listed first, but if respected sources have it different we tell our readers that. Old newspapers are great, but not always for the nationality they used in entering a tournament. I see plenty of events that list Charlie Pasarell as Puerto Rican entry, but officially it was USA. The same can happen to Segura and it's why we would usually turn to the actual draw to determine things. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:08, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

I can tell you what is likely to happen here with Segura, because I've seen it with other players in the past. If it can't be determined which flag icon to put in the infobox, an RfC will be started with tons of non-tennis editors weighing in. They don't like flags so he could wind up as a handful of other players have with no flag at all. But I will start an RfC on it if needed since both the French Open and Wimbledon list him as USA in their draws at certain times. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:33, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

 * I wouldnt rely on official websites when it comes to countries. Some link directly to players profiles, which list the most recent nationality they were.  To avoid the RfC, you may need to accept Segura was Ecuadorian.  I presented you with just a very small sample of the many references to show that he was.  I agree Olmedo is different, as he played Davis Cup for USA.  It is very wrong to assume official websites contain complete and accurate information.  I know someone who has been contributing data to ATP website.  For many years Connors was listed as having 1256 career wins, its now 1274 thanks to new data added.  All researchers use newspapers as major sources in their research, so newspapers are the original sources.  Official websites, Talbert, McCauley, my book, etc. are secondary sources.  Original sources should be given greater weight in the argument.  I observed this edit war between you and tennisedu and felt it was about time some research was done using contemporary sources and listed on here. Tennishistory1877 (talk) 11:07, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * What's interesting is Wikipedia policy. "Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources and, to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources and primary sources." But in reality newspapers are not the original source. If newspapers tell us who is in an event it is because the tournament told them who is in the event and they wrote it down and reported it to readers. All these things can make mistakes of course whether it's original or secondary or tertiary. But Wimbledon and the French Open are usually accepted as very reliable sources as to who entered their events. Not 100% maybe, but darn close. They contradict some suppositions that newspapers have made and those sources should also be included. Segura was Ecuadorian but there are tournaments that have him entered as USA, and we have sources for it. Those tournaments show him entered as Ecuador in some events and USA in others. That should be acknowledged or there will be an RfC to build consensus. If a consensus of wikipedians feel that no USA entry should be shown for Segura, then I'm cool with that even if I disagree. That happens. If they want the icons removed from his article we'll have to be cool with that too, because that happens. But right now it's really only three of us arguing. Two of us keeping the articles as they were till things get figured out, and one of us changing things on the fly as they see fit. Most I let go because I don't feel like arguing about it. But Segura's actual article is a different matter. Some of the stuff that was added to the lead is way to trivial and belongs in prose. The lead is a summary of the most important highlights of the main body of prose. That foreign player resident crap belongs in the main body, not the lead, but I didn't remove it because I didn't want to edit war. The article is the loser here. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:46, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Many years ago, before I became a tennis researcher, I assumed every result from every amateur and open event was written on a tournament drawsheet and all of them were kept in official archives back to 1877 (and then transcribed onto official websites). It was only after I became a researcher I realised that was not the case.  Newspaper and magazine research accounts for the vast majority of research carried out by myself and other researchers (whether the information in the newspaper was given originally by the tournament is beside the point if the tournament themselves did not deposit their drawsheet containing the results in their archives).  For the pre-open era pro tour all the results had to be sourced from newspapers and magazines (it never ceases to amaze me that not one player on the pro tour kept a record of all their matches.  If they did, these records have never come to light).  Tennis is a sport that seems to have so little regard for its history.  We all know a certain editor and his edit wars, but it is important to pick the right battles to fight him on. Tennishistory1877 (talk) 20:49, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Nice observation. For some reason I always pictured Rosewall as the kind of guy who would keep impeccable records of all the pro tour results together with the financial bookkeeping he was doing. Alas, apparently not, although if all results were readily available at the push of a button that would take away some of the joy of discovery.--Wolbo (talk) 21:45, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Tilden kept fairly accurate records for each world series he played (often quoted in newspapers), but it seems they were not kept over a long period of time (if they were they have not come to light). That is true what you say Wolbo, the lack of records has meant the joy of discovery for people like me.  What I find particularly thrilling is finding results that are offline and emailing libraries, I have found entire tours that havent been reported since the week they took place.  The late Robert Geist actually corresponded with some of the players and would occassionally get small pieces of information from them (I know people that knew Geist).  For the pre-open era pro tour the vast majority of results have been found by six people (in no particular order): the late Joe McCauley, the late Robert Geist, krosero, a researcher called Andrew who consults Australian archives, the guy I mentioned who provides info for the ATP website and myself.  And the process of finding results continues.  Although most results have been found, there are still some yet to be discovered. Tennishistory1877 (talk) 23:17, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Well seems like this thread got off the topic. Seems to me there are a few reasons to determine whether if someone 'represents' a country like: they are a citizen of that country, they played in a representative team for that country sanctioned by the relevant authority and/or that authority has some exceptional reason to make such a claim that is made transparent. None of these apply. Indeed it is clear that the national authority considered him throughout his career to be a foreign player and, as noted, his citizenship of the USA was gained well after his final playing days. Now that is noteworthy and is actually stated twice (not surprisingly in the retirement section). The title/comment associated with the respective flag is "Country (sports)" and thus it clearly refers to the subjects sporting career, for which Segura was an Ecuadorean citizen playing as a foreign player in the US. Antipodenz (talk) 09:28, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Agreed with this, so why do we still have an American flag with Segura's info box? That conflicts with the information in the lead.Tennisedu (talk) 18:27, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

So Fyunck(click) still refuses to accept the removal of any mention of Segura having represented the USA, acting as a lone wolf against any edit doing do despite consensus here being clearly against them. After all this years this situation needs to be finally properly dealt with.Tvx1 00:59, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The newspaper sources for 1968 and 1970 at the US Open do not say Ecuador, and I didn't write those newspapers. Ecuador should certainly be listed first but the newsprint for 1968 and 1970 were clear. He was also honored as a "Team USA Coaching Legend" and it's not like we have a separate article on his coaching prowess. Fyunck(click) (talk) 02:25, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Neither do these newspapers say United States. They just list the state/city he resided in. Those US newspapers cleary used a special treatment for US residents (≠nationals) to the point they're not usable to determine the nationality of foreign residents of the US at the time. And of course he was honored as a Team USA coach, considering his coaching efforts of Team USA players. Being a coach for Team USA doesn't require one to hold US nationality though and is irrelevant to the nationality he used as player. Tvx1 00:20, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Faulty Edits
What is with these faulty edits? They appear to be related to citations. What happened to Colonies Chris? He seems to do this to the tennis articles. Tennisedu (talk) 20:42, 8 July 2023 (UTC) It looks like Colonies Chris has made literally thousands of edits in the last month or so. This is a real person or a program run wild? And these edits create thousands of errors in the articles.Tennisedu (talk) 20:52, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Such as? We need some examples so we can tell Chris what not to do in the future. If you are talking about the error messages in the ref section it's because whoever originally added the refs did so incorrectly, with improper formatting. He corrected the formatting at which point the missing titles show up as an error. Those need to be fixed. Fyunck(click) (talk) 21:49, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
 * @Tennisedu This was reverted why? Jevansen (talk) 00:49, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

As a courtesy, you should have notified Chris of this discussion, if you're going to moan about his work (of which I see no issues). Jevansen (talk) 00:54, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * It appears that he was already notified a few times by others. If you are going to change citations, the editor should do a complete fix, or else leave it. Otherwise errors appear. If no error message appears with the original citation, why change it?Tennisedu (talk) 19:55, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * No error message appeared because it was an ill-formed citation. The citation was wrong to begin with and since no error message appeared everyone who glanced thought all was ok. All was not ok. I agree that usually when it is corrected it should be corrected fully, but at least this goes into a category that shows up on an error message page so that others will notice and help with fixing. Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:21, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Other editors have already been busy trying to fix his corrections. What kind of an improvement is that? He should do a correction so that the result does not generate an error message. If a citation does not generate an error message, why change it to something that DOES generate an error message? And no, some citations do not create an error message because they are fine. They conform to the minimum requirements for an acceptable Wikipedia citation. If an editor tries to IMPROVE the citation (and that is what we are talking about here, not a correction of an error in a citation, but an upgrade in the citation) then he should do the full job and not leave it in a state where it generates an error message.Tennisedu (talk) 22:07, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * On this occasion I agree with Tennisedu. As editor Fyunck is sharing his views on my edits, I may as well share my view on the subject.  On a talk page Fyunck appears to be agreeing with Tennisedu saying "However, with the vast amount of these "fixes" on thousands of articles most are unlikely to ever be looked at... so the red error messages will likely remain forever."  Which may well be true.
 * I used the same template for citations most of the time as it was a template used at that time by other tennis editors. Tennisedu has used an even shorter version for citations.  When I edited I never looked to use a longer template, because I dealt with citations in bulk and the more information that had to be provided for each citation meant a greatly increased amount of my time spent on each article.  As far as I was concerned providing the citation (and where possible an internet link to it) was the most important priority.  I even sourced a lot of statements not written by me because the editor(s) that had originally written the content had provided no citations, a problem which no editor had rectified since the articles had been written/expanded many years earlier, despite many editors periodically fiddling around with formatting on those pages for years.
 * Some editors (and there are a lot of them) seem to spend all their time on wikipedia altering formatting. I have seen many times (not just on tennis articles) a long list of minor formatting edits on pages (sometimes in articles which contain glaring factual errors that no one has corrected).  Whilst formatting is of little interest to me, it benefits wikipedia in a minor way (some corrections are more beneficial than others) and if editors enjoy this sort of editing, I have no problem with it.  However, they should leave a page better than they found it.  If they think that a title should be listed for each citation, they should find it themselves rather than covering articles with error messages.
 * Tennishistory1877 (talk) 00:42, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * We are in total agreement on these points. Tennisedu (talk) 03:21, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm actually coming around on this also. The problem seems to be that we used "cite web" and the mandatory title= attribute. Most people use title= to add the titles of the actual story, not the title of the newspaper. I myself would always use the name of the story. moved the name of the newspaper to work=. Nothing wrong with that as it's what most people would do to begin with, but he removed the title= parameter, which is required. I read the template docs and they seem to indicate there is nothing wrong with using the newspaper title rather than the actual article name. It may not be normal, but it isn't an error or wrong. They will have to show me the template rules that say otherwise. But Colonies Chris removing the title= info without adding a title looks to be wrong. He created an error where none existed before. It may have been abnormal coding before, but it was error coding afterwards. It's being discussed on Colonies Chris' talk page. Fyunck(click) (talk) 06:35, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * When the citation templates were added to the article in 2020, the titles of the news articles should have been added. The recent edits have simply made this fact clear instead of misusing the title parameter of the citation templates. Every guide to citing sources will tell you that news article titles, if they exist, should be part of each citation. Here's an example of how to fix the missing information that improves verifiability, and which should have been provided in 2020 when these citation templates were first added to the article. Happy editing! – Jonesey95 (talk) 12:55, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Per the info given for the templates, titles were used correctly. Per general usage maybe not. In looking at the cite web template there were no errors and now that they are "fixed" there are many errors. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:16, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I will not be adding titles to these citations, Jonesey95, as I deliberately used shorter citation templates to cut down on the amount of time I spent on each article. I found that providing a citation (including in most cases a web link to that citation) fully satisfied my own desire to source articles and I left the articles with no red error messages visible.  As you have contributed nothing of note to any of these tennis articles to date and are so concerned about this issue, perhaps you should add this additional citation information yourself.  Wikipedia editing is supposed to be collaborative, after all.  I did not moan from the sidelines when I saw some articles had virtually no citations because previous editors from more than a decade ago had not added any.  I added citations to the articles.  There are still many tennis articles that are in need of additional citations and there are still tennis editors adding information without adding enough citations (or in some cases using even shorter citation templates than I used).  There is still plenty to do for those that wish to contribute. Take a look around. Tennishistory1877 (talk) 16:03, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Wrong Photograph
That photo at the "1942" section of a tennis player looks like Bill Talbert, not Segura. Tennisedu (talk) 02:07, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

 * The original photo comes from a newspaper. The caption in the newspaper states it is Segura, though I agree it doesn't look like him. Tennishistory1877 (talk) 10:20, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

It is clearly Bill Talbert, no doubt.Tennisedu (talk) 02:44, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

 * I’ve decided to move it to Talbert’s article then. Tvx1 00:18, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Ambiguity on longstanding nationality
Since an editor has reverted this entry 3x in a day I thought I should mention this. Segura nationality in the infobox is longstanding with both Ecuador and US. Per news reports at newspapers.com in 1968 and 1970, he is not listed as Ecuador at the US Open, he is listed as from the US. I see Britain and Spain and even Puerto Rico for players, but not Ecuador for Segura. I don't have the original draw sheet since I didn't go to those events at the time. Players don't always go by their citizenship (which he later received from the US). It seems reasonable to include both nationalities as we have done for years, but we certainly shouldn't remove the entry without conversation. Fyunck(click) (talk) 02:07, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Segura listed as "Los Angeles" in Boston Globe results section for 1970 US Open (non-US players listed by country, US by town). Reports from this era often describe Segura as "from Ecuador" or "Ecuadorian". Segura had been living in the US for a long time by then though. https://bostonglobe.newspapers.com/newspage/435456444/ Tennishistory1877 (talk) 09:22, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I also see California in some reports while other players in the event are listed by country. I'm not saying to remove Ecuador... I'm saying we also leave US since the sources we have use both. Fyunck(click) (talk) 09:58, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
 * California is in line with Los Angeles. Segura was listed as Ecuador in the 1940s.  I think the issue of nationality should be decided by contemporary evidence.  Let those that have strong views bring forth their sources. Tennishistory1877 (talk) 10:47, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
 * They just list a US state or city because he was residing in a US one. Neither Los Angeles, nor California are nationalities, so these sources are not usable to support a representative nationality. Especially since we know he did not hold US nationality back then. We really need some NON US sources, which would be more neutral on the matter.Tvx1 00:10, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
 * They are usable since people from other countries are listed from other countries. He is not. And holding US nationality has nothing to do with sports nationality. Navratilova is a good example of that. And he represented team USA as coach. And you are the one changing what has been on the article for a long time. Fyunck(click) (talk) 04:09, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
 * A quick search of British sources on British newspaper archive for US Open 1968 show Segura listed as "U. S." on all. These include Daily Mirror 2 September 1968, Coventry Evening Telegraph 2 September 1968, Aberdeen Evening Express 3 September 1968, Reading Evening Post 2 and 3 September 1968, Belfast Telegraph 2 September 1968, Hull Daily Mail 2 September 1968 and Leicester Daily Mercury 2 September 1968. Tennishistory1877 (talk) 08:34, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
 * There is no question that earlier in his career he is listed as Ecuadorian, and that is the most common way he is perceived... but not always. It's why we have him listed as US second. Fyunck(click) (talk) 08:49, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
 * He was listed as Ecuadorian in the 1940s. In the open era he was listed as U. S. Tennishistory1877 (talk) 09:27, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
 * And as a pro in the 50s-60s I believe he was also listed as from Ecuador. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:29, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Schoolhouse Earth

The result of the debate was DELETE. Harr o 5 09:32, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Schoolhouse Earth
I tagged this for speedy as advertising, but the creator of the page appended a bit more info, added the "hangon" tag, and noted on the talk page an intent to modify the page such that it was no longer advertising (albeit ostensibly with eleemosynary aims). I removed the speedy tag but nevertheless believe the article, inasmuch as it references a non-notable organization (to-wit, a Google search returns many hits, but none--as far as I can tell--to this project) and seems destined to remain advertising (since there don't seem to be any organizational accomplishments of one might write), should be deleted. Delete Joe 05:56, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

 * ...I may not be able to address the concerns that give rise to this recommendation. Although I might concede that the organization in question is non-notable, I wonder if the absence of Google results is in itself, evidence of that.  I will clearly describe here the current state of the organization, and may ultimately concede that an article in Wikipedia is not merited.  But I have a sense that the presence of such an article will serve both the organization in question and Wikipedia.  The organization is currently formed by fewer than a dozen individuals and has just been newly formed.  So accomplishment of note is as yet undelivered.

 * There are three objectives I have with respect to submission of this item. The first is to provide a clean place in the public commons that identifies the mission and scope of the organization Schoolhouse Earth.  In this place, public comment is invited and open access is available both for endorsement or concern.  A secondary (and somewhat unstated) objective is to publicly invite commentary about namespace conflict.  We can find no significant evidence of an organization that is using this name and that has these objectives.  The appearance in Wikipedia will help to unearth any prior claims to the name that we have not yet identified.  The third objective is (secondarily again, and certainly) that of raising public exposure of the organization and its mission.  It cannot help but happen that if we lucidly explain the mission of this organization, that there will be many who wish to express support either through contribution of their efforts or other resources.  This is not our direct aim with this article, but it is inevitably a side-effect.

 * I alluded to the idea that the article may serve Wikipedia goals as well. Perhaps this is in an indirect way, but it is an intention of the organization in question both to utilize Wikipedia content in its curriculum, but also to create curriculum that has learners participate in wikipedia as content editors and providers.

 * This is what I'm thinking about the whole thing. --Agentv 06:31, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

 * "The organization is currently formed by fewer than a dozen individuals and has just been newly formed. So accomplishment of note is as yet undelivered." — In 2 sentences you have just summarised the main reason why the article must go. Wikipedia is, basically, not the place to "raise public exposure" of new organisations. That is best left to the organisation's own home page. Delete, without prejudice to future re-creation iff the organisation becomes notable. — Kimchi.sg | Talk 07:47, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, it doesn't get any easier than the subject coming out and saying that they're nn. Lankiveil 11:32, 20 March 2006 (UTC).
 * Delete, you said it. ProhibitOnions 13:35, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete By the author's own description, this organization does not meet WP:N. Wikipedia is not a soapbox to publicize new enterprises, no matter how well-intentioned. Fan1967 15:12, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and author - the.crazy.russian   (T)   (C)   (E)  16:46, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree then. The page should be deleted.  --Agentv 17:14, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Article Evaluation

In the article on the Ancient Agora of Athens, there is strictly information having to do with the subject of the article, no distractors. Since the article is about central, public place, there isn't much room for bias. One thing I would critique is the summary of it, I feel that it should be a bit more in detail of what the Agora was used for and what went on there. As far as the sources, there is only a direct link to once of them. So that is definitely something that should be fixed. However, the one link that works seems to be neutral and a solid source. In the talk section, there were two people who updated external links and another who made some suggestions for the article content. This wikipedia article is very well ranked and is a part of three wikiprojects. In the wikipedia article, the content is more summarized and then goes into further detail rather than discussing it in detail from the beginning.

Portal:Primary school mathematics

 * This section of the School of Mathematics focuses on providing teaching tools for parents and educators, whether in traditional or home-schooling environments. A parallel project is underway to teach students directly, whether children or adults, at this Wikibooks page.

Welcome to the Wikiversity Division of Primary School Mathematics, part of the School of Mathematics. The face of teaching mathematics is in constant flux. This course, therefore, is an attempt to stay in step with the current pedagogue(s) used to teach mathematics to the primary grades.

While educators should find this course helpful in learning or reacquainting themselves with some of the methodologies currently used, this course attempts to use as much lay language as possible to also be helpful to parents who, when looking over the shoulders of their children, are sometimes baffled by the "New Math". Those who wish to home-school their child(ren) may find the most value from this course; attempts will be made to cover a number of pedagogically related topics in depth; many core components (not necessarily math related) of learning will be discussed and links to more in-depth coverage of those topics will also be included. Also, if you have trouble with the material, links will be found on each page to other more basic and/or remedial sources in the Wiki community to help bring you up to speed. By providing links "in both directions" as described above, it is hoped that this course might serve as a starting point for those wishing to gain more insight into the teaching of mathematics to the primary grades.

What This Course is Not
This course assumes that the reader has reached a certain level of competency with the topics it covers. As such, this course is not designed to teach mathematics to the reader. For a very elementary introduction to mathematics, for the child or for the adult who considers themselves mathematically handicapped, you may want to read a book in development in Wikibooks, Primary Mathematics.

This course is meant to give the reader insight into how and why mathematical core understandings and skills are taught the way they are. A basic mathematics background should be all that is needed to find value in this course. Oftentimes parents (and even teachers) only understand a topic in the way they were taught it, but modern math curriculums are typically constructed such that topics are covered in many different ways in order to, among other things, accommodate the different learning styles of students.

There are many ways to teach any given mathematical understanding, and the depth of students' mathematical understandings are enhanced when they have explored it from multiple perspectives. For example, the Theory of Multiple Intelligences is but one perspective that teachers employ when leveraging student's individual strengths.

Although the idea that there are many learning styles is not well supported by the research in this area so far, this course recognizes that there are many teaching styles. As such, this course is not necessarily intended to be a math curriculum, although it could serve as part of the foundation of one. For example, this course will not teach the reader in step by step fashion how to multiply two large numbers, but the various building blocks and algorithms that students can be introduced to in the process of learning this skill will be explained.

There are many very good texts/curriculums/approaches out there; there are even "schools" of thought that suggest that math is best taught without textbooks if the teacher is skilled enough. This course could never pretend to cover the range of curricula out there. Emphasis will be on content knowledge and how it can be taught to the primary grade student. Nonetheless, activities will be suggested in this course that support the concept or skill being presented, which may serve to present the reader with ideas for their own course content.

Connections
One of the overarching ideas that should be highly leveraged in the teaching of mathematics in the primary grades involves the connections students make in their learning. All of our mathematical understandings are intertwined. For this reason, different skills such as multiplication and concepts like those learned from the study of geometry should not be explored by students in a vacuum. Rather, they should be taught together, in such a way that they reinforce each other. Internal links, when found in this course, will purposefully be placed there to emphasize the need for an ever-present awareness of the connectedness of mathematical understandings. Teachers should prefer not to "teach", they should prefer to "guide".

So how do teachers not teach? They do this by inspiring students to inspire their own learning. The most inspiring inquiries are often born of students' own interests. Primary and even upper school teachers recognize that understanding mathematics in the abstract is not the goal of most students. They need to see connections to the real world to inspire their learning. Teachers should prefer to use real world problems that require the need for mathematical models (see below). Students should then be encouraged to make connections by looking for patterns, exploring extremes, and forming and testing conjectures. At the same time teachers should be aware that all mathematics, from basic numeracy upwards is an abstraction and that some ideas are better explained as abstractions or generalizations from what is already known, rather than by constructing tedious and implausible 'real world' examples. After all, how often do carpenters really use trigonometry to measure the height of a flagpole?

Modern educators realize that students gain true "ownership" of their understandings through, inasmuch as it is possible, making connections on their own - by way of their own work and explorations. "Telling them how to do it" does not respect or celebrate their abilities. On the other hand, letting students explore concepts, learning from their mistakes as they go, ultimately leads to much stronger mathematical understandings. It also leads them to form learning habits that make their future explorations more efficient and successful. Connecting with a child's personal interests is also important. However, it is unrealistic to expect students to construct their own understandings of many areas in Mathematics. For example, calculus eluded mathematicians for centuries before it was created by Sir Isaac Newton. More appropriately for the primary school level, the long division algorithm is not something that students can be expected to figure out for themselves.

Manipulatives and Models
One very important component of the contemporary methods used to teach math is the use of manipulatives (such as toys) and models (visual representations) to give added dimension to students' understandings. In each chapter of this course, the reader will find various examples of models used to teach different mathematical understandings. Often, they will find that these models serve to make connections to material covered in other sections. Keep in mind that teachers in the classroom tend to be very creative and resourceful. Often, the models found in this course have many possible permutations, and can come in various shapes, sizes, and guises. They are purposely presented here in simple forms to facilitate, for the reader, their identification.

In this course, the word model is occasionally used in a subtly different context as well - one that is commonly used by teachers of any discipline. We like to model good mathematical habits just as we like to see any kind of good behavior modeled. Occasionally, teachers should model problems by doing them as if they are a student.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Umakant Sharma (2nd nomination)

The result was redirect to Cheating in chess. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 04:20, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Umakant Sharma
AfDs for this article:
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is clearly WP:1EVENT. While the incident is clearly notable, the person is not. I propose redirecting it to Cheating in chess. The section there covers this incident near verbatim and also provides a much better historical context of cheating in chess and other similar high profile incidents. This article was nominated for AfD in 2007 just a few days after its creation. While there was no consensus, a lot of editors felt the need to delete or merge it. Cheating in chess was essentially created in response to this AfD and this incident. While the article then just basically covered this incident and was a stub, now it has much better content due to other high profile incidents since then. One can also note that nearly all other people with wikilink in that article are notable in their own right: normally by being current or former Grandmasters, while Umakant Sharma never held any title nor is currently even rated.

 * Redirect Target Cheating_in_chess. There's already a long para on him. Better to redirect there. (Also, someone please maybe trim that para. Wasn't a very high profile case, nor was he ever a high profile player) - hako9 (talk) 07:42, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Wikiversity:Multiple points of view

This originated as a comment on the NPOV policy talk page.

This will be expanded into a discussion of MPOV from MPOV including MPOV or NPOV as discussed below.

NPOV has problematic assumptions but it is a useful principle for a first approximation of a critical approach to appreciating multiplicity of perspectives. I expect that over time that Wikiversity scholars may evolve NPOV into an MPOV (multiple points of view) principles which calls for the appreciation, based on in depth study, of how it is possible to vary the number of positions, interpretation, balance, level of coverage and summary conclusions offered for different points of view -- such that there are very many mixes of points of view possible that would all seem to satisfy NPOV.

For some wikischolars studying multiples schools of thought, reducing bias might perhaps be not an aim as much as developing ever more depth of appreciation of the biases and presuppositions of varying perspectives and their contrasts -- a richer and richer MPOV, one could say. Differing scholars and schools of scholars would have differing MPOVs. An MPOV policy would be a meta-position beyond NPOV which calls for the comparison and evaluation of differing MPOVs. MPOV would call for increasing depth in critical understanding of and comparison of varying MPOVs rather than decrease in bias ever more closely towards NPOV. I think NPOV as written assumes one root balanced POV is possible in the future as the endpoint of NPOV work of including and balancing various views. MPOV does not assume this -- it assumes that an MPOV is always constructed from an POV and can not escape this, hence there are always MPOVs and MPOVs may expand and not contract in further MPOV work. We do not know which position is correct, an NPOV endpoint or an expanding set of MPOVs. In part, it is an item of metaphysical belief to assume NPOV or MPOV as so described here. A meta position requires contrasting NPOV and this MPOVs. Note that the MPOV perspective may be more relevant to a number of schools of thought in the social sciences and humanities than to the natural sciences. Social theorists are underrepresented perhaps in Wikipedia discussions. I hope that is not the case in Wikiversity. (One could argue that the MPOV idea is present in seed form in one way of interpreting the NPOV concept, but I think it could be elaborated here or somewhere in Wikiversity space.)

A closing thought: I think it is reasonable to take a position in between their being one NPOV possible and many MPOVs as probable (between modernity and postmodernity if you will) which is that a small finite set of kinds of MPOVs are possible -- I actually favor this at times -- but it would require multiple writings from multiple MPOVs to construct that theory space - not one multidimensional writing/text/MPOV-NPOV but a finite group of MPOV texts with differing MPOV perspectives.
