What do you do if you do not have an oven to cook your pumpkin pies in?
Every year in October, I enjoy spending my time cooking pumpkin pies. I've always loved having the soothing smell of a freshly baked pumpkin pie emanate through my place. I also enjoy sharing my pies with the people around me. I have even cooked pies for the cashiers that ring up my ingredients. This year, I am living in an apartment that does not have an oven. What ever shall I do now? I dont want to give up my pie baking tradition. Is there some alternative to an oven? Could I cook my pie on the stove? Can I roast it over an open fire? How do military people living in the wild cook their pumpkin pies? Any options that you can give me would be well appreciated. I am a desperate man. The Worst kind of desperate man. I am man who is need of home cooked pumpkin pie.

Microwave?
A microwave will do strange things to home-made pastry, but if you are using a bought crust then about 15 min on a slightly-less-than-high power should set the filling. If you want to get really into microwave pies, a browning dish is a good investment. It distributes the heat better than standard dishes and allows things to cook more like they do in the oven.

Why not use a can of pumpkin
This was snipped from the recipe page.

I'm not sure why the above recipe would be better than picking up a can of pumpkin in the store, and then buying the ingredients they specify in the recipe on the back. I'm not saying the above recipe isn't better, just that I have no way of judging, and nobody even claimed that it is. So, I'm going to all this trouble to point it out because I usually follow the in-store prodedure I outlined here, and two years ago I actually tested 3 of them and discovered big differences.

Libby's brand won to my taste, followed by One-Pie brand, followed by some Whole Food's organic label. My taste runs toward sweeter, very moist (shiny!), not too "nutmeg-y" pumpkin pie, served good and cold. I'm not a shill for Libby's; in fact, I wanted One-Pie to win since that's what I'd always used before, and I like the look of the label better. Also, I have no idea if there are differences in the pumpkin itself, of just in the recipes, and I didn't test the different combinations. But there were significant differences so it's worth figuring out which one you like.

because!
The obvious benefit of the recipe is that you can adjust the spices to suit your tastes. No guesswork as to which brand of filling tastes better.

You should also consider that the stuff sold as "pumpkin pie filling" is sometimes actually hubbard squash. It essentially tastes the same and yields a pie of the same texture, but I think it has a better shelf life or something, so it's sold as pumpkin pie filling.

Also keep in mind that you can use a pumpkin for more than just pie. Bread, muffins, cake, soup, and so on. You can make a couple pies, a loaf of bread, and some muffins all from a single decent-sized pumpkin.

It's healthier to eat things that you prepare yourself than stuff from a can. Messedrocker 03:25, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

because!!
--Duk 03:48, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) If you grow pumpkins in your own garden you need this recipe.
 * 2) If you make a bunch of pies, this recipe is much less expensive than buying canned pumpkin.

 * I've added in an optional substitution of canned pumpkin for puree made from a fresh pumpkin. I agree that using fresh ingredients is optimal, but if that were the only way to make pumpkin pie, well damn, nobody in their right mind would ever make pumpkin pie. Canned will work fine; it has the same texture, flavor, and moisture content as the recipe expects. Jessicapierce 19:25, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

because !!!
Some people live in countries (e.g. Germany) where fresh pumpkin (or at least certain winter squashes like butternut and red kuri) are available but canned pumpkin isn't. Mahagaja (discuss • contribs) 14:59, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Different recipies
What's the procedure on different recipes. Say another recipe for canned pumpkin, and another more standard recipe (-maple syrup (very expensive), +condensed milk). Do we just name the article Pumpkin Pie (2) ? --Duk 04:01, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Often what is done is if there are going to be several of the same kind of dish, like Brownies, the plainly named one becomes the index, a new recipe page is made with the original recipe giving it a descriptor, like, minty, deep-dish, cherry, or whatever and the new one is made similarly with a descriptor.  If one is the core, original recipe, or very close to it, that one takes up the base name or the name of Plain X, Original X, Simple X, that kinda deal.   So you can end up with Maple Pumpkin Pie, Spiced Pumpkin Pie, Simple Pumpkin Pie and Orgasmic Pumpkin Pie if there are enough recipes that are sufficiently different. <IP_ADDRESS> 04:32, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

 * We could make this a disambiguation page, and find unique names for the recipes. This one could become "Pumpkin-Maple Pie", while one with canned pie filling could be "Easy Pumpkin Pie", or something similar.  Another option, as seen at Cookbook:Guacamole, is to simply add another recipe (or 5) to the page. Gentgeen 05:08, 17 October 2005 (UTC)  PS: Don't you love edit conflicts? :) Gentgeen

Amount of Filling
Deep dish nine inch pie shells (from the frozen section of the supermarket) hold four cups of filling. This recipe adds up to about six cups of filling. Is this recipe for a larger pie dish (traditional pyrex or ceramic type)? --Duk 03:59, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I've never had a problem making this fit a 4 cup shell. Maybe the whole adds up to less volume than its parts. Gentgeen 05:08, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Why is scalding the milk listed in this recipe
Scalding is traditionally called for to destroy the enzymes that would thicken the milk during the cooking process, but pasteurization accomplishes this, and you would be hard pressed to find unpasteurized milk in most countries. Therefore, I find it rather needless and redundant to be listed. 01:05, 15 October 2006 (GMT)

French/Appendices/Slang

Foreign speakers
It is important to note that, as a foreigner, your use of slang will often be received as cute or funny, depending greatly upon your overall fluency in spoken French. To understand this, think about how it would sound to you if a foreigner—with a strong accent and odd rhythm of speech—came up to you and said "Dude, what a sketchy-ass hater that bizz-natch was, I totally was just like 'fuck off fo-sheezy'". Therefore, no matter how much slang you use in your native language, limiting your use of slang in French (proportionally to your level of fluency) will also limit how much you are patronised and giggled at by native listeners.

Slang: consistency & style
To use slang efficiently, it is important to maintain a consistency of style. Mixing styles might sound like saying: "Thy face, it is quite finely rawkin'".
 * Avoid vous unless a plural is necessary.
 * Avoid subject-verb inversion in questions. Use rather question formations where there is no inversion or 'est-ce que', only the raised tone at the end of the sentence. When doing this with interrogatives (qui, quand, comment, etc.), place them at the end of the sentence; i.e. "On va bouffer quand ?"

Translating 'fuck'
The English-language term 'fuck' is exceptional as it can serve as noun, verb, adjective, exclamation, and others. There is no such equivalent usage of any word in the French language, apart from 'putain', wich can be used as adjective and exclamation, "That's a fucking good car" = "C'est une putain de bonne voiture". Therefore, the translation of 'fuck' into French depends on the corresponding part of speech.

Examples

 * noun : "He's a great fuck" = "C'est un bon coup"
 * "He is such a fuck(er)" = "C'est un pauvre type/enfoiré/enculé/connard/salaud" (insert any insult)
 * "He's such a fuck-up" = "C'est un pauvre con/un raté/un loser"

 * verb : sexual: baiser, niquer, coucher avec ; insulting: foutre, enculer
 * "I fucked up on my French test" = "J'ai foiré/raté mon examen de français"
 * "I fucked (up) my car" = "J'ai niqué ma bagnole" (bagnole is, itself, quite slang)
 * "He fucked me over" = "Il m'a planté"
 * "I fucked your mother/mum/mam/mom" = "J'ai baisé/niqué ta mère"
 * "Fuck off" = "Va chier!", "Fous le camp", "Dégage !" (see the verb 'Foutre')
 * "Fuck you"/"Go fuck yourself" = "Va te faire foutre/enculer" or in the plural "Allez vous faire foutre/enculer" The French sometimes drop the "foutre/enculer" as it is generally understood that it is what would follow.

 * adjective : "This is fucking awful" = "Putain, ça craint"/"C'est bordelique"/"C'est de la merde"
 * "I am so fucked-up" = "Je suis barré/perché" (mental state); "Je suis totalement bourré(e)" (drunk); "Je suis défoncé(e)" (high[marijuana])
 * "I don't give a fuck." = "Je m'en fous"

 * adverb : "I am trying to fucking work here" = "J'essaie de bosser putain"

 * exclamation : "Fuck!" = "Merde !" ; "Putain !" ; "Bordel !"
 * n.b.: these can also be compounded in French, i.e., "Putain de merde !" "Putain de bordel de merde"  (for stringing these together, see the scene in the film Matrix Reloaded with the Frenchman (Merovingian) in the restaurant)

Glossary
Notes on Pronunciation: *To feel how R should be pronounced, gargle with water, then try gargling without water. That is what your throat should be doing when pronouncing the R. *The U is hardest for English speakers. The back of the throat should be stretched out as if you see a mouse and are saying "eee!", but the lips should be in a tight circle as if you are saying "ooo".

Verlan
Verlan is roughly similar to English Pig Latin, in that certain words are split in half, and the two componenents switch positions, but do not necessarily retain all letters (due to French pronunciation patterns). For example, if you have word [12], in verlan it will become [2-1]. The word verlan is in itself an example of this; it comes from the word l'envers (meaning 'backwards'). Verlan is, unlike Pig Latin, quite commonly used among young adults and even adults. Common verlan expressions include:

 * Beur ou rebeu : n., A person of Arab descent. from arabe. ('Beur' is so commonly used that it now has its own Verlan form, 'reub').

 * Chelou : adj., Fishy, shady, suspicious. from louche.

 * Ienche : n., Dog. from "chien". "Les ienches, ca me fait flipper." (Pronounced "ee-ansh")

 * Keuf : Policeman (not polite) from flic "Il est chelou ce mec ! j'vais le balancer aux keufs."

 * Keum  : n., man, guy, dude, from mec.

 * Meuf : n., Woman, chick, girl. from femme.

 * Ouf : adj., Crazy, ridiculous. from fou. Used commonly in the expression "c'est un truc de ouf" ("that is madness").

 * Portnawak : see 'n'importe quoi'

 * Relou : adj., Not funny, difficult, something that sucks. from lourd, heavy. (the d is dropped in Verlan because the final d does not pronounce in lourd).

 * Ripou : adj., Rotten, awful, gross. from pourri
 * Ripou = un policier qui commet des actes graves illégaux
 * pl : des ripoux

 * Teuf : n., Party. from fête.

 * Venère : adj., aggravated, angry, pissed off. from enervé(e).

Common chat abbreviations
There are two general guidelines:
 * é can be substituted for all homophonic equivalents including "-ais", "-ait", "-es" (such as in the articles les and des), the conjunction "et" (and), and the verb "est" (third person sing. conjugation of être, "to be").
 * words that end in a silent -s commonly drop this s: such as pas (pa), and vois (voi).

 * a+ : prep.+adj., à plus, à bientôt, "until later".

 * biz : n., bisous, "kisses".

 * c : subj+verb, c'est, "it is".

 * ct : subj+verb, c'était, "it was"; imparfait (past) conjugation of c'est.

 * dc : conj., donc, "therefore, so".

 * dsl : adj., désolé(e), "sorry".

 * fok : exp., il faut que, "it is necessary".

 * tfk? : exp., Tu fais quoi?, "What are you doing?"

 * ke : interr. and relative pronoun, que, "that".

 * mé : conj., mais, "but".

 * pr : prep., pour, "for".

 * ptdr : exp., peté(e) de rire, "bursting with laughter", (equivalent of lol, laughing out loud). stronger than mdr.

James Smith Richardson

James Smith Richardson (1883–1970) was a Scottish architect, antiquarian and archaeologist. He was the first Inspector of Ancient Monuments for Scotland, and was responsible for a series of popular guidebooks to monuments in public care.

Early life and education
J.S. (Jamie) Richardson was born in Edinburgh on 2 November 1883 to Dr James T Richardson of North Berwick and his wife Christina Thomson. The family moved to North Berwick in 1887, where Richardson attended first the Abbey School and then North Berwick High School. Richardson developed an early interest in archaeology in which he was encouraged by his father – both near to home and on foreign holidays.

Richardson was articled to the Edinburgh architect James Macintyre Henry from 1899–1903, and during this time studied at the School of Applied Art (now part of the Edinburgh College of Art). In 1902 he produced his first publication, co-authored with his father, Prehistoric remains near Gulllane. In 1903 he joined the office of Robert Lorimer as an assistant, and in 1906 he travelled south to study English church woodwork with Aymer Vallance.

Professional life and war-time service
Richardson set up his own practise in Edinburgh in 1909. His first notable work was in North Berwick, the angel screen of the south apse of St Baldred Episcopal Church (1909). He was then responsible for the restoration of the ruined church of St Moluag, Teampall Mholuaidh, at Eoropie on the Isle of Lewis. In 1912 he was elected a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in Scotland and in March 1914 was appointed inspector of Ancient Monuments in Scotland, this being at the time a part-time position.

On the outbreak of war, the practise closed, and Richardson volunteered for military service and joined the Royal Scots, with whom he had been a volunteer since 1909. His duties were in draft and training, and he spent most of the war in Britain, with time at the front in 1915 and 1918. He did not forget archaeology during this period, and sent some late-Celtic pottery, found in the trenches in France, to the National Museum in Scotland.

Richardson's architectural practise resumed in 1919, and the next year John Ross McKay, became a partner. McKay had studied at the School of Applied Art at the same time as Richardson, and had also worked in Lorimer's office. Richardson's position as Inspector of Ancient Monuments became full-time in 1920, and in 1922 he became a part-time lecturer in the Edinburgh College of Art, which had assimilated the School of Applied Art. This left him little time for architectural work, and while Richardson remained a partner, and was able to attract clients through his official position, McKay did most of the practical work. Post-war work by the practice included the North Berwick War Memorial (1920) and the restoration of a fountain in Linlithgow Palace.

Richardson and McKay came into conflict with their old boss, Lorimer, over the latter's proposed design for the Scottish National War Memorial. Richardson, as secretary of the Ancient Monuments Board, opposed the design, and was able to defeat the scheme partly by erecting a canvas mock-up of the memorial. Lorimer thought the mock-up gave no idea of what the final work would look like, and described Richardson as an "irresponsible devil".

During the next two decades, he travelled throughout Scotland, inspecting and cataloguing ancient remains, and in many cases making arrangements to take privately owned monuments into public care - in all over 90. Monuments included cairns and stone circles; churches; grave slabs; castles; a water-mill; and wall paintings. Monuments were stabilised and in many cases cleared and laid out for public viewing, and guide-books published for many of the sites (see below). As well as preserving and presenting ancient monuments, Richardson planned and designed the Museum in the Commendator's House at Melrose Abbey. Richardson was also involved in scheduling ancient monuments, enabling the protection of sites that were not in public ownership

Richardson carried out a number of archaeological excavations, both of monuments in public care and of other sites. In North Berwick, he discovered many mediaeval floor tiles in a tile-kiln associated with the Cistercian Nunnery. In 1932 he excavated a cairn near Kalemouth, Roxburghshire. This was not published until 1951. Other investigations included The Broch of Gurness and at Jarlshof, Shetland. Richardson withdrew from architectural practice in 1942, gave up teaching at the Edinburgh College of Art in 1946, and retired from his position as Inspector of Ancient Monuments in 1948. He continued to be involved in archeological and antiquarian activities. He gave a series of lectures on The Mediaeval stone carver in Scotland (not published until 1964), was involved in the establishment of the Burgh Museum in North Berwick (opened in 1957) and was often consulted on restorations, in particular by the Queen Mother regarding the Castle of Mey and the garden at Pitmmedden for the National Trust.

He suffered a major heart attack in 1969, and died, in North Berwick on 12 September 1970 at the age of 86.

Getting a degree

 * Note: Wikiversity does not confer degrees. But it can help you get a degree.

How Wikiversity can help you
Wikiversity can help you connect to other students and teachers.

There is more than enough open courseware and material online and distance learning infrastructure so that someone can be able to get an accredited degree. The trick is organizing the material.

Goal of degree plans

 * They get you an accredited, academically respected degree at the end
 * The degree plans must be *open* and *flexible*. It should be possible for a student to take a degree plan and change it to meet their requirements.  The degree plans must also not have any admission requirements.  There should be no gatekeepers.
 * The open architecture nature of Wikiversity is what should make it attractive and cheaper. You can and should swap in and out degree components.

Components of a degree program

 * Formal book learning. This is the easiest part to provide on the Internet.
 * Hands-on training. If you want to be a brain surgeon or physicist, you need hands-on training.  The degree plan should include ways of getting this hands-on training.
 * Social networks. This is the most important part of the degree program.  The student needs to have access to a rich set of social relations.  This is the part that wikiversity can provide.
 * Academic support. This includes things like financial aid, student health counseling, academic advising, career services.

Types of assessment
There are a variety of ways to receive college-level credits through open learning and assessment including:
 * Prior learning assessment and recognition (PLA, PLAR)
 * Portfolio based assessment
 * Exam based (CLEP)

Bachelors
The following are accredited schools in the United States that will provide credit for open learning materials
 * Thomas Edison State College
 * Charter Oak State College
 * Excelsior University
 * Western Governor's University

The challenge is to organize the material online so that it fits into the curriculum guidelines of these universities.

Just some theory to grant degrees you need
 * book learning - this is the easy part. all of the stuff is already out there.
 * experiential learning - this is the harder part, but it can be gotten through internships and the like
 * social networks - You need to be interacting with other students, teachers, and constantly talking with them. Creating and organizing these networks is the crucial missing piece that the wiki provides.

Doctoral
The word "doctor" is derived from the Latin language and means "Teacher". Doctoral degrees are to be earned while studying and conducting research in a university and have persisted as such for over a thousand years.

A doctoral degree is the highest degree offered by a university alone of any post-doctoral degrees which consist of further research in the Doctor's field.

Surendranath Banerjee

Sir Surendranath Banerjee (সুরেন্দ্রনাথ বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায়; 10 November 1848 – 6 August 1925), often known as Rashtraguru (lit. 'Teacher of the Nation') was Indian nationalist leader during the British Rule. He founded a nationalist organization called the Indian National Association to bring Hindus and Muslims together for political action. He was one of the founding members of the Indian National Congress. Surendranath supported Montagu–Chelmsford Reforms, unlike Congress, and with many liberal leaders he left Congress and founded a new organisation named Indian National Liberation Federation in 1919.

Early life
Surendranath Banerjee was born in Calcutta, in the province of Bengal to a Rarhi Kulin Brahmin family, suggesting that the ancestral seat of the family was at Rarh region of present-day West Bengal. His ancestors had migrated to East Bengal at some point of time and settled in a village called Lonesingh in Faridpur district. It was his great-grandfather Babu Gour Kishire Banerjee who emigrated and settled in a village called Monirampur near Barrackpore. He was deeply influenced in liberal, progressive thinking by his father Durga Charan Banerjee, a doctor. After graduating from the University of Calcutta, he travelled to England in 1868, along with Romesh Chunder Dutt and Behari Lal Gupta, to compete in the Indian Civil Service examinations. He cleared the competitive examination in 1869, but was barred owing to a claim he had misrepresented his age. After clearing the matter in the courts by arguing that he calculated his age according to the Hindu custom of reckoning age from the date of conception rather than from birth, Banerjee cleared the exam again in 1871 and was posted as assistant magistrate in Sylhet. Banerjee also attended classes at University College, London. He took his final exams in 1871 and returned to India in August 1871. In 1874, Banerjee returned to London and became a student at the Middle Temple.

Banerjee was soon dismissed for making a serious judicial error. He went to England to appeal his discharge, but was unsuccessful because, he felt, of racial discrimination. He would return to India bitter and disillusioned with the British. During his stay in England (1874–1875), he studied the works of Edmund Burke and other liberal philosophers. These works guided him in his protests against the British. He was known as the Indian Burke. For his tenacity he was called 'Surrender Not Banerjee' by the British.

Surendranath was influenced by the writings of Italian nationalist Giuseppe Mazzini. He studied the writings of Mazzini in his stay in England (1874–1875) on Anandmohan's suggestion.

Political career
Upon his return to India in June 1875, Banerjee became an English professor at the Metropolitan Institution, the Free Church Institution and at the Rippon College, now Surendranath College, founded by him in 1882 and he inspired his students with a new spirit of nascent Indian nationalism. He began delivering public speeches on nationalist and liberal political subjects, as well as Indian history. He founded the Indian National Association with Anandamohan Bose, one of the earliest Indian political organizations of its kind, on 26 July 1876. In 1878 in a meeting to preach the Indian people he said 'The great doctrine of peace and goodwill between Hindus and Muslims, Christians and Paresees, aye between all sections of our country's progress. Let the word "Unity" be inscribed therein characters of glittering gold... There may be religious difference between us. There may be social difference between us. But there is a common platform where we may all meet, the platform of our country's welfare'. He used the organization to tackle the issue of the age-limit for Indian students appearing for ICS examinations. He condemned the racial discrimination perpetrated by British officials in India through speeches all over the country, which made him very popular.

In 1879, he bought the newspaper The Bengalee (founded in 1862 by Girish Chandra Ghosh) and edited it for 40 years. In 1883, when Banerjee was arrested for publishing remarks in his paper, in contempt of court, protests and hartals erupted across Bengal, and in Indian cities such as Agra, Faizabad, Amritsar, Lahore and Pune. He became the first Indian journalist to be imprisoned. The INC expanded considerably, and hundreds of delegates from across India came to attend its annual conference in Calcutta. After the founding of the Indian National Congress in 1885 in Bombay, Banerjee merged his organization with it owing to their common objectives and memberships in 1886. He was elected the Congress President in 1895 at Poona and in 1902 at Ahmedabad.

Surendranath was one of the most important public leaders who protested the partition of the Bengal province in 1905. Banerjee was in the forefront of the movement and organized protests, petitions and extensive public support across Bengal and India, which finally compelled the British to reverse the bifurcation of Bengal in 1912. Banerjee became the patron of rising Indian leaders like Gopal Krishna Gokhale and Sarojini Naidu. Banerjee was also one of the senior-most leaders of the moderate Congress — those who favoured accommodation and dialogue with the British — after the "extremists" – those who advocated revolution and political independence — led by Bal Gangadhar Tilak left the party in 1906. Banerjee was an important figure in the Swadeshi movement – advocating goods manufactured in India against foreign products — and his popularity at its apex made him, in words of admirers, the "uncrowned king" of Bengal.

Later career
The declining popularity of moderate Indian politicians affected Banerjee's role in Indian politics. Banerjee supported the Morley-Minto reforms 1909 – which were resented and ridiculed as insufficient and meaningless by the vast majority of the Indian public and nationalist politicians. Though Banerjee was a critic of the proposed method of civil disobedience advocated by Mahatma Gandhi, he added the he "admire the supreme solicitude and the earnest efforts of Mr. Gandhi to secure Hindu-Muslim unity". Surendranath Banerjee, a moderate and veteran leader of Congress were in favour to accept the Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms. They left the Congress and founded Indian Liberation Federation. They were termed as Liberals and they lost their relevance in Indian National Movement thereafter. Accepting the portfolio of minister in the Bengal government earned him the ire of nationalists and much of the public, and he lost the election to the Bengal Legislative Assembly in 1923 to Bidhan Chandra Roy, the candidate of the Swarajya Party – ending his political career for all practical purposes. He was knighted for his political support of the British Empire. Banerjee made the Calcutta Municipal Corporation a more democratic body while serving as a minister in the Bengal government.

He is remembered and widely respected today as a pioneer leader of Indian politics — for being among the first treading the path for Indian political empowerment.  But nationalist politics in India meant opposition, and increasingly there were others whose opposition was more vigorous and who came to center stage. Banerjee could accept neither the extremist view of political action nor the noncooperation of Gandhi, then emerging as a major factor in the nationalist movement. Banerjee saw the Montagu–Chelmsford Reforms of 1919 as substantially fulfilling Congress's demands, a position which further isolated him. He was elected to the reformed Legislative Council of Bengal in 1921, knighted in the same year and held office as minister for local self-government from 1921 to 1924. His defeat at the polls in 1923 brought his political career to a close and he went on to write the widely acclaimed A Nation in Making, published in 1925. After Surendranath died at Barrackpore on 6 August 1925.

Commemoration
His name is commemorated in the names of the following institutions: Barrackpore Rastraguru Surendranath College, Raiganj Surendranath Mahavidyalaya, Surendranath College, Surendranath College for Women, Surendranath Evening College, Surendranath Law College (formerly Ripon College) and the Surendranath Centenary School in Ranchi and the Surendranath Banerjee Road (popularly known as S. N. Banerjee Road).

Talk:Ankara Tren Garı

Merge with Ankara railway station
Ankara Tren Garı is a part of the old Ankara railway station and therefore, for the sake of better organization and to avoid an unnecessary article, should be kept as a single article. The new station was built on the former platforms used for commuter rail service, which were a part of the regular Ankara station. (Central Data Bank (talk) 23:57, 1 October 2017 (UTC))
 * Oppose:Although they are in the same city, they are different stations serving to different lines. (For example, you can't catch an İzmir train in YHT station and you can't catch a İstanbul YHT in Ankara Railway station.) This is just like İzmir Alsancak Terminal and İzmir Basmane Terminal. You've contributed a lot to each of these two articles and still you haven't proposed merging the two. So why are you trying to merge the YHT to Ankara railway station ? Besides they are run by different authorities. Ankara Railway Station is a classical train station run by the government  where the YHT station is a privately owned complex of a mall, a hotel and a station. No they are not mergable. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 08:31, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * NB:Also I think this merging tag is misplaced. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 09:53, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I corrected the tags. Operator873 CONNECT 04:42, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Basmane and Alsancak are two separate train stations located in separate neighborhoods. Ankara Tren Gari and the old Ankara station are the same station. The new station was built on the grounds of Ankara railway station. The only difference is that they are two sections of the same station. A good example to this would be New York Penn Station, it has three different sections (concourses) for three different railway companies but the station is still one station. (Central Data Bank (talk) 11:36, 2 October 2017 (UTC))
 * On a map you can see them close to each other . But There is no access from one to other. You have to drive at least 1250 m to reach one from the other. They don't share the same tracks and the platforms. More important that YHT building is actually a mall with 217 shops and a hotel with 134 rooms. Only a portion has been allocated to train services. Thus the article is about the AGT mall and The Ankara Hotel as well as the YHT station.Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 16:28, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I looked into it further and it seems you are correct. Therefore I will withdraw my merger proposition. However, I do think the name should be changed to Ankara Tren Garı, as that is how it is branded. (Central Data Bank (talk) 11:44, 4 October 2017 (UTC))
 * Support: I don't agree with what have been said, espacially Nedim's claims. They aren't truly two different stations. The YHT part is like a modern extension of the old Ankara station, even if only YHTs depart/arrive from the new platforms. But when you look at the platform numbering, the YHT platforms are numbered 4, 5 and 6 showing that the platform numbering is complementary. As the re-construction works of Sincan-Kayaş line wasn't ongoing according to the initial schedule, the connexion bridge to the old station wasn't constructed at the opening of the YHT platforms. Therefore you had to drive long to get to the other side of the railway tracks. But now the bridge is in place and the old 'classical' platforms are being reconstructed and will be numbered 1, 2 and 3. The situation is completely different from İzmir's stations. I also personally think that there are political reasons for different namings by some ministers, but I don't want to get too much in that. Nezo90 (talk) 21:30, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The discussion has already been concluded and the proposer witdrew the merger proposal. They are two different stations. One serves for the classical lines and the other for the YHT lines. Besides unlike the former station the YHT station is actually a mall operated by a private company. The railway station consists only a samll part of the big building . There is also a 5 star hotel in the mall. How can you merge this to a classical government-controled station ? Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 09:51, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Does the presence of a hotel and shops makes it an other place than where just nearby railway platforms are ? And don't forget that the property still belongs to TCDD, ATG is just operating it. Anyway. Nezo90 (talk) 20:22, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Even though I agree that the two should be merged, it doesn't matter for me if they remain separate. Since ATG is operated and owned by a private company, I suppose it can be considered a different station. This isn't something objective in my opinion. It is something that varies according to one's own opinion. That is the reason I withdrew my merger proposal. Perhaps after the lease is up and the station given to the State Railways, then it should be merged for sure. But until that time, if it remains separate, I think that is fine too. (Central Data Bank (talk) 00:11, 31 October 2017 (UTC))

Moving the title
The title has been moved from Ankara YHT station to Ankara Tren Garı. Not a very important point. But maybe the author would like to explain the rationale. In WP, all railway stations in Turkey (most of which were created by the same author) are titled "railway station". Official names in Turkish are "tren garı". But since this is an English encyclopaedia and the phrase "railway station" doesn't contain a proper noun, it should be translated as railway station or train station. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 09:42, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The station's official name is branded as Ankara Tren Garı, that is why I moved the page. The name is "train station" as a direct translation of the turkish as well as not to confuse it with the 1937 station. (Central Data Bank (talk) 16:23, 20 October 2017 (UTC))

There is no need for two article since it's the same Station. --Ex13 (talk) 17:58, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

All Night (film)

All Night is a 1918 American silent comedy-drama film directed by Paul Powell and starring Carmel Myers and Rudolph Valentino (credited as Rudolpho di Valentina). It was released by Universal Pictures under the name Bluebird Photoplays. A print of the film still survives and was released to DVD by Grapevine Video in 2005.

Plot
Richard Thayer, a shy, unassuming man (Valentino), is in love with a sheltered young woman, Elizabeth ("Beth") Lane (Myers). While the feelings are mutual and Richard wishes to propose, he can never find a moment to speak to Beth alone—she is constantly surrounded by admirers and her overprotective father (Wadsworth Harris).

Richard explains his predicament to his friends, young married couple William and Maude Harcourt (Charles Dorian and Mary Warren). They agree to help by hosting Richard and Beth at a private dinner at their home. Beth's father agrees to let her dine with the Harcourts, but insists that she keep to an 11:00 curfew.

The evening of the dinner William Harcourt receives a telegram from a prospective business associate, Bradford (William Dyer), informing him that he is arriving that night for a surprise visit. The announcement throws the Harcourts into a panic. William has recently mortgaged his home and life savings to buy a copper mine; he is counting on a $1-million investment from Bradford to save his business and house. He does not have any servants to welcome the millionaire, having fired them earlier in the day in a fit of rage.

Working together, the four friends devise a plan: Richard and Beth will pose as the Harcourts; the real Harcourts will play the servants because they are familiar with the layout of their house. The scheme initially works, but things quickly deteriorate when Bradford, an eccentric, overbearing man, starts flirting with Maude Harcourt and insisting that Richard and Beth turn in for the night. The situation worsens when Beth misses her curfew and her father shows up at the Harcourt home to look for her. Eventually, everything is solved, but not before Col. Lane is locked in the pantry, Richard falls out a window and William is tossed out of his own house.

Cast

 * Carmel Myers as Elizabeth Lane
 * Rudolpho di Valentina as Richard Thayer
 * Charles Dorian as William Harcourt
 * Mary Warren as Maude Harcourt
 * William Dyer as Bradford
 * Wadsworth Harris as Col. Lane
 * Jack Hull as the butler

Reception
All Night was reviewed by Motion Picture News on October 28, 1918 while it was under its working title, One Bright Idea. The reviewer, P. S. Harrison, was beaming: "This is about the craziest thing I have ever seen. It is so funny you will die laughing when you see it. It seems strange producers don't make more pictures along these lines." He went on to summarize its plot and concluded with, "The picture contains no offensive scenes. It is a wholesome comedy all the way through and fit to show any audience."

Production
All Night is one of Valentino's earliest films, and one of the few in which he plays a comedic role. In contrast to the screen persona of "The Great Lover", his character of Richard Thayer is shy and insecure. For this film, Valentino performed several scenes of physical comedy and pratfalls, including falling from a window into a barrel of water. Valentino and Myers starred together previously in A Society Sensation, also directed by Paul Powell. Powell praised Valentino's work. Valentino recalled to Photoplay, "He was the first to say, 'Stick to it and you'll make a name for yourself.'"

Re-release
Unlike the re-releases of early Valentino films A Society Sensation and Stolen Moments, the original length of All Night was kept intact. Re-release advertisements described Valentino's role as that of an "ideal lover" and the story as "a throbbing romance of love, beauty, and daring". These descriptions can't be farther from the truth and were only meant to capitalize on Valentino's new image as the "Great Lover".

Web Design/Build a small website

So far we should feel confident to Build a basic web page using headings (
...
) and paragraphs (
...
), images (), lists (
...
) and links (...). We should also be okay with linking our HTML to a stylesheet (<link />) and setting up some basic styles (fonts, sizes, colours, margins and padding). If you're unsure, have a look through the check-list on Build a basic web page and see if you are confident with the skills listed there, or see if you can answer the basic HTML exam questions or CSS exam questions!

Now we're ready to learn more about structuring our HTML so we can control more of the style with our CSS as we create our first small website from scratch! We'll also learn why it's worthwhile creating semantic (i.e. meaningful) markup.

Checklist
The activities here aim to get us creating our first small website while at the same time raising our awareness of the different types of HTML documents that we can create – as well as how we can check (validate) our HTML to make sure it's correct. We'll also learn how to divide our content into meaningful sections that we can style with our CSS. Specifically we'll investigate how to:

 * Use semantic (ie. meaningful) markup (something we're already doing, but realising why we're doing it!).
 * Use HTML tables for tabular data (not for page-layout!)
 * Group HTML content using
...
's.
 * Use id's and class selectors.
 * Use more complex CSS selectors.
 * Create user forms for gathering user input.
 * Create navigational elements using simple lists
 * Learn the strengths and weakness of the different HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 DOCTYPEs

Ewald Steenkamp

Ewald Steenkamp (born 18 April 1988) is a Namibian cricketer. Steenkamp is a right-handed batsman who fields as a wicket-keeper. He played five matches in the Under-19 World Cup of February 2006, during which he top-scored with 17.

In August 2007, Steenkamp was a part of the Namibia Under-19 squad which won the Africa Under-19 Championship, during which he scored a then career-best 82 not out against Kenya.

Generally speaking, he occupies the middle order, letting the Namibian youth team ride on his wicket-keeping rather than trying his hand at bowling. Steenkamp made his debut for the Namibia A team in 2007, though he was neither called up to bat or bowl, and took no catches from behind the stumps. Steenkamp's debut first-class appearance came in the South African Airways Provincial Challenge against Griqualand West in November 2007. Despite not making any first-class appearances in 2008-09, Steenkamp made his debut first-class half-century in 2009-10.

Talk:-bloody-

-bloody-
The entry bloody should have a usage note explaining that this is used to form compound words (I presume that such a note is currently missing.) Any 'quazi-etymological' references should be corrected to bloody. --Connel MacKenzie 04:17, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

 * If a word is used to form at least three compound words (that is, if it is an etymon), then it deserves an entry as an affix (even though man is first and foremost a stand-alone word, as it is used as a suffix, it is therefore given an entry as a suffix at -man). Send -bloody- and -fucking- to WT:RFV if you don’t think that they are attestable etyma. Your objection to the use of the Infix POS header in English entries is not relevant to this discussion. † Raifʻhār Doremítzwr 04:31, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Incorrect. This entry should not exist - there are no "infixes" recognized in English - but there are compound words.  To assert that English suddenly follows arbitrary rules from random other languages is folly.  There is no question at all, that it is used prolifically to form compound words, so an RFV is out of the question.  But it most certainly does belong on RFD (if not deleted on sight.)  --Connel MacKenzie 05:15, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Your claim is utterly false. Expletive infixation is a widely recognized and well described phenomenon in English. If you want to delete these entries because you don't recognize English infixes, say so; don't pretend you represent mankind. —RuakhTALK 05:21, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry, but you are mistaken. Where did I claim to represent all of mankind?  What English dictionaries list things as "Infixes" rather than compound words?  --Connel MacKenzie 05:40, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Every dictionary I know lists entries for affixes! (Are you sure that you’re using “compound word” correctly here?) As, specifically, for infixes, as I’ve said before, the COED [11th Ed.] lists the English infixes -i- and -o-. † Raifʻhār Doremítzwr 06:06, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

 * English dictionaries I have seen list words as being used to form compound words, rather than listing sub-word components. ORO supposedly includes COED, but returns "No results found" when I search "-o-".  Likewise Google books.  Google doesn't seem to be able to return any meaningful results for this.  --Connel MacKenzie 06:30, 7 July 2007 (UTC) (edit) 06:31, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Huh? Affixes = “sub-word components”, and -bloody-, -fucking-, et cetera are used to form compound words. I can’t really explain the ORO anomaly, other than by reference to a similar anomaly I encountered when searching for bandeauxes in Google (yielding one result) and in Dogpile (which apparently includes Google, but yet yielded no results). I assure you that both -i- and -o- are listed in the COED. † Raifʻhār Doremítzwr 07:03, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Calm down, people, please... These are examples of the figure of speech known as tmesis. As any intensifier can be used in this way (the example often given is "abso-bloody-lutely", but I could just as well say "abso-flaming-lutely", "abso-goddamn-lutely" or even "abso-you-betcha-sweet-bippy-lutely". I think it is specious to say that these adverbs are affixes. Affixes, such as "sub-", "-o-" and -"ism", are not words in their own right. Other dictionaries certainly do give affixes, but "-bloody-", etc, are not affixes: they are adverbs that are positioned within a word rather than before it or after it. We already have (or should have) entries for these adverbs, so delete. — Paul G 08:01, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Clarification: "Sub-" and "-ism" as affixes are not words in their own right; the nouns sub (= submarine, subscription, etc) and ism (= ideology) are words in their own right that have been derived from these affixes. — Paul G 08:06, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I thought we were calm…
 * The Wikipedia article, Expletive infixation, in a referenced statement asserts that this process “is similar to tmesis, but not all instances are covered by the usual definition of tmesis because the words are not necessarily compounds”, although I cannot profess to knowing how this affects your argument.
 * As a counterargument, consider that it may not be obvious to everyone that a certain word has been infixed with an expletive adverb (especially those words written without hyphens, such as unbefuckinglievable), and that the examples that satisfy CFI ought to be given their own entries. † Raifʻhār Doremítzwr 08:45, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I would vote to weak keep, given Paul's objection, provided that, as suggested by Raifʻhār Doremítzwr, it is an etymon of, as Connel MacKenzie and and as yet unsubstantiated comments on Wikipedia suggest, words that are not compounds, and that due to spelling it is not clearly a case of tmesis, and those words are not similar constructions (unfuckingbelievable = unbefuckinglievable), and that those words are each verified on Wiktionary, by three independent citations spanning at least a year. I would vote keep if at least three citiations of three such words are in print, and strong keep if for each of any three such words, a citation appears in well-known work or refereed academic journal, conveying meaning, or the word is also included in any one of the major English dictionaries. So a big question for me, in resolution of this RFD, is what currently exists on Wiktionary, or what is claimed to exist out there that would need to be immediately put to RFV. Right now there are no derived terms for -bloody-, and no pages link to it in their etymologies, which would suggest a delete is in order. DAVilla 10:13, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, Kappa, you seemed supportive of these two infixes. If you wish to see them kept, how about you go about meeting DAVilla’s criteria? † Raifʻhār Doremítzwr 11:43, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I'll try to get hold of my linguist friend with the Ph.D. who first introduced me to the idea of infixes existing in English. She might enjoy looking for these.  (There are only two or three as I recall). --EncycloPetey 17:39, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Removed unreferenced bio section that also had material c/p from http://www.ticketfly.com/event/131243/. Needs better references for a WP:BLP. Mjpresson (talk) 03:59, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Contesting of unnecessary deletion of factually accurate material
Yes. I would like to file a complaint. I recently inserted the information into this article that Eric Andre is a delicious nappy-headed high yella brotha. Said information contributes to the scholarly value of this encyclopedia article because this is self-evidently factually accurate information. One look at Eric Andre confirms that he is indeed a delicious nappy-headed high yella brotha. I hereby contest the deletion of my valuable contribution to said scholarly encyclopedia article. Thank you.

He probably started dating Rosario Dawson in 2016.
Rosario Dawson said "This weekend marks a year that I had to get emergency surgery to stop internal bleeding from a ruptured cyst on my ovary. It was the first time I told @ericfuckingandre that I loved him (and very much not the last)." on an Instagram post dating September 6, 2017.Instagram

 * That's not suggested by that post at all. Even if so, that'd be WP:SYNTHESIS and not allowed here. Refactored above comment from a ref to an external link. JesseRafe (talk) 18:19, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

From André to Andre
So the original name is "André" (French name). But when did it become "Andre"?

it was never André cause he’s Haitian and they just put it as that when his father immigrated ItsSugmaDique (talk) 18:49, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

"it was never André cause he’s Haitian" - French is the Official language in Haiti, so this does not explain the absence of the accent. I am too apathetic to do any research on his name, when the ` was added or removed, just saying that "cause he’s Haitian" means there is a better chance that it was there, not less of a chance. -- Billy Nair (talk) 19:37, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

 * I agree that the response given above is nonsense, but I think reputable sources might use both. It's a non-essential accent as anglophones will pronounce Andre and André the same and think of them both as equally "French", in essence, treat them identically, and so many publications would not bother to take the time to use the accent. It happens a lot in French words that are heavily borrowed, such as vis-a-vis. It will be hard to source the change unless the subject outright discusses it, so don't think it should be given too much stock. JesseRafe (talk) 20:03, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Andre himself does not use the accent. His show's title does not use the accent. The move was made without discussion and should be undone. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:01, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Sexuality
André has said in an interview that he would "fuck anything that moves." Source: https://www.towleroad.com/2016/08/eric-andre-bisexual/ <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:14, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Should tags relating to his bisexuality be added to the external links? fishhead64 (talk) 04:48, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
 * He didn't explicitly state he identifies as bisexual. Geraldo Perez (talk) 04:52, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Pansexual seems more accurate term for what he states. Geraldo Perez (talk) 05:03, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

Academic titles

As there is no standard at WP:MOS in regard to academic titles, I find it odd that when I cite two sources for stylizing academic titles that these are overruled with a comment that, to paraphrase, "it's unclear how these apply to Wikipedia articles." On what basis is bachelor of music capitalized if not for a substantiated method or style of capitalization?

And referencing the Wiki article on Bachelor of Arts doesn't help, because that's an article that a) doesn't provide MOS guidance and b) may itself be incorrect.  DRosenbach  ( Talk 15:05, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Capitalize. Drmies (talk) 18:36, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Oops - did Batchelor of Arts instead of Batchelor of Music. The same trend holds true however. Girth Summit  (blether)  19:04, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Capitalize. It is a proper name for a specific thing capitalized that way. See article Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Science and articles for other bachelor degrees. Consider it de facto stylization standard for Wikipedia to be consistent if for no other reason. Geraldo Perez (talk) 18:50, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Wikiversity talk:Online courses

I find myself making a distinction between 1) "conventional" courses and 2) what I imagine Wikiversity will evolve as non-traditional courses in wiki format.

The main distinction is that conventional courses have a specific start date and a specific group of people participating from start to finish. This format is a good fit for bricks-and-mortar institutions, but is in conflict with the power of wiki to allow a diverse community to participate, each participant working on their own terms. I think it would be a huge error for Wikiversity to adopt the primary goal of producing conventional courses in wiki format. As an alternative, we need to find new ways for learning communities to function efficiently in a wiki environment. Only time will tell exactly what works best for learning in a wiki environment. We need to construct a flexible framework (the Board called for a wiki-specific model for e-learning) for allowing the Wikiversity community to evolve learning projects and discover the best way to do things. We have to keep in mind how best to do this within the existing family of WikiMedia projects. My hunch is that if we do this right, the non-traditional courses that develop within Wikiversity will provide the world with an important alternative to conventional online courses. --JWSurf 23:37, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Hmm. I have trouble with restricting the Wikiversity to just courses. The materials that are not, on their own courses, can still be valuable if offered in the Wikiversity for *teachers* to use (i.e. in a repository, much like pictures on commons). It is rather like we need to have a quarry for nice bits of marble, an atlier where everone can chip in, and a museum where the gorgeous finished statues can be displayed along with a book for people to make comments on them. --<IP_ADDRESS> 21:04, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Oh yes, I don't think anyone is saying that everything on Wikiversity must be contained within a course - this whole discussion is largely an attempt to address the board's uncertainty about Wikiversity and courses, and also the desire amongst many in the community to create their own courses. Of course, we will have stand-alone materials - that's a fundamental part of the way it will probably grow. Does that ease your mind? Nice analogy, by the way :-) Cormaggio @ 11:50, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I should also add that much of these sub-pages on Wikiversity are far from comprehensive or being complete - please edit as you see fit. Cormaggio @ 11:57, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

 * By what authority can the definition of a course state that Wikiversity will NEVER be an accredited institution? Best anyone can say with any credibility is that there are no current plans to seek accreditation and such a process is long, expensive and rigorous/arduous.  Jimbo and the rest of the trustees are not immortal and our wiki participants plans have always envisioned a long and useful future to humanity of our knowledge products.  Not even the God King, Jimbo, can state with authority that the Wikiversity upon WMF servers will NEVER have accreditation. <IP_ADDRESS> 07:05, 3 August 2006 (UTC) lazyquasar

I like the "never say never" attitude. I'd be interested in reading a description of a hypothetical series of events that could lead to accreditation of Wikiversity. --JWSurf 06:07, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

New way of doing courses
At the moment many wikiversity 'courses' tend to be based around university courses - a series of 10-15 topics with a reading list and questions for assignments and a 'lecture.'

Would it not be better to make 'courses' into something much smaller, something that you can do in 1-2 hours. Obviously you would have to do a lot more courses to gain a degree, but I think there are many advantages.

Advantages of shorter courses

 * Flexibility - you can create a programme suited exactly to your needs
 * Increased sense of achievement
 * Ability to fit courses more easily into a busy lifestyle
 * Easier to create a course - if courses are shorter, then more people can work on courses that are of interest to them. It also means the amount of reading required to create a course is much less

What does everyone think?

Davymast 12:09, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, it would be useful to have clearly defined modules with some estimate of the time required for each. However, sometimes I suggest a fairly open-ended assignment such as "look up something on topic X and then add it to this page". I'd hate to have to put a time on things like that. Really, in a wiki, people just work at their own pace anyhow. Rather than thinking in terms of "course = a page" we can think in terms of pages for "learning materials" and "learning activities" that can be small and modular chunks. In splitting courses into pieces, we can even use subpages in the main namespace at Wikiversity. --JWSchmidt 00:01, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Cherokee Public Library

The Cherokee Public Library is located in Cherokee, Iowa, United States. A library was begun in town in 1886 by the Cherokee Ladies Library Association. The collection of books was housed in the YMCA and other shared facilities. It was poorly funded, and the city of Cherokee took over the library in 1898 after voters passed a referendum. The Carnegie Corporation of New York had accepted the city's application for a grant for $10,000 on January 6, 1903. They hired Oskaloosa, Iowa architect Frank E. Wetherell to design the new building, which was built by Hansen and Lambkin of New Hampton, Iowa. Carnegie donated a further $2,000 to complete construction. It was dedicated on May 2, 1905.

The skylight began to leak and was removed in 1910. The basement interior was completed in 1913. Vines grew across the exterior and were removed in the 1950s. Around the same time a new front entry was installed and interior renovations were made. Further renovations were completed in the 1980s, which included an elevator and handicap access. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

Organic Chemistry/Alkanes/Propane thru decane

<< Ethane | Stereoisomers >>

Many more linear alkanes can be formed by adding one additional carbon to the end of a chain of carbons. Ethane is the shortest chain with two carbons but DNA is known to have carbon chains containing millions of linked carbons.

Alkanes are named based on the number of carbons in their longest chain:

Naming carbon chains up to ten

 * methane (1 carbon)CH4
 * ethane (2 carbons)C2H6
 * propane (3 carbons)C3H8
 * butane (4 carbons)C4H10
 * pentane (5 carbons)C5H12
 * hexane (6 carbons)C6H14
 * heptane (7 carbons)C7H16
 * octane (8 carbons)C8H18
 * nonane (9 carbons)C9H20
 * decane (10 carbons)C10H22

The general equation for Alkanes is CnH2n+2.(Substute the n with no.of carbons, eg:-Propane 3 C 'C3H2*3+2=C3H8' )

The suffixis on the first four are from an obscure system but you should be familiar with the rest.

Propane and butane are gases at standard temperature and pressure and are used commonly in lighters. Pentane on down the list are liquids at STP. Octane is the same as the octane in your gas tank.

You may also want to name hydrocarbon chains of more than ten carbons. Here is a list for your reference:

Naming longer carbon chains
........
 * triacontane (30 carbons)
 * tetracontane (40 carbons)
 * pentacontane (50 carbons)
 * hexacontane(60 carbons)

etc...

As the carbon chains get longer, molecules get relatively heavier and tend to move from being gases at Standard Temperature and Pressure to liquids to waxy solids.
