Talk:Just the Beginning (Grace VanderWaal album)

Her official site doesn't double as album official site
While I'm not doubting that there might be some cases where a website can fit as the official website for an artist and the artist's work, I don't see how it applies here. My thought was that the "Album trailer" link serves some of the purposes of an official site, especially in how it links to smarturl.it/GV-JustTheBeginning. --Ronz (talk) 00:24, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

Sorry about my edit summary. It would have been better not to bring up any reference to past disputes. --Ronz (talk) 00:26, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

 * OK, I've exchanged the link given for this specific page on her site that states that it is the official page for the album. Why don't you fix things instead of always blindly deleting?  -- Ssilvers (talk) 05:48, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
 * That's a store site. It's a rather blatantly inappropriate. It's linked from "Store" on her official page.
 * They can call whatever they want an "official site" (I'm not seeing what you're referring to though), but we have guidelines and policies to follow. A music album will rarely have an WP:ELOFFICIAL link because an album is not a person or organization that can meet the purpose of ELOFFICIAL, "Official links (if any) are provided to give the reader the opportunity to see what the subject says about itself."
 * I'm not going to remove it at this moment in the hope that it will help us resolve this quickly. --Ronz (talk) 03:07, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I must admit I would not add the link to the sales page, but the official site that was edit warred over does not beach WP:ELNO, and I would expect to see an artiste's official webpage linked. My suggestion would be to tom back to that one. – SchroCat (talk) 12:27, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Done. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:01, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Glad we're making progress.
 * Her official website doesn't belong because this article is not about her. External links should give insight and additional information directly about the subject of the article, the album. If editors want to learn more about the person, we have an article about her that includes her official website. --Ronz (talk) 20:52, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, having a link to an artist's official website is progress, isn't it. It seems like common sense to have a link to the artiste's website. It won't replace our article, or (being at the bottom of a page which links to her three times) put people off reading our article on her, but will provide a sensible link to something very closely related. - SchroCat (talk) 21:01, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * People coming to Wikipedia for information about this new album need a link to VanderWaal's official website. If you don't like the homepage, pick which page you prefer, but you can't just delete a link to the artist's website.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:16, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not seeing any policy-based arguments for inclusion. Any further arguments? --Ronz (talk) 19:32, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * There are no policy-based arguments for exclusion. Your move. - SchroCat (talk) 19:51, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

As there's no further arguments, let's break down the entire section:
 * VanderWaal's official website
 * This is not an WP:ELOFFICIAL website for the album.
 * This website is not about the album, and is focused on basic promotion of VanderWaal's works.
 * As such, I think that the link fails all applicable parts of WP:NOT and WP:EL. --Ronz (talk) 01:21, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Album trailer
 * A short pr video for the album that links to smarturl.it/GV-JustTheBeginning, which contains samples of each song from the album. The content is highly promotional, providing very little information about the album. I don't think has enough relevant content to meet EL, and too heavily conflicts with NOT. --Ronz (talk) 01:21, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
 * VanderWaal at the Austin City Limits Music Festival, October 7, 2017, where she introduced several songs from the album
 * A short pr video that has little to do with the album, much less give any information about it. As such, I think it fails NOT and EL. --Ronz (talk) 01:21, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

 * I disasgree. The official website does not breach the WP:ELNO guideline and should remain. WP:NOT has nothing to do with this. - SchroCat (talk) 06:50, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree with SchroCat. I do not agree with anything that Ronz states above. -- Ssilvers (talk) 07:08, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Do you disagree with the descriptions of the content of the webpages? --Ronz (talk) 18:13, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes [adding for clarity: Yes, I disagree with your descriptions]. But mostly I disagree with your understanding of WP:EL and your ongoing attempts to deprive readers of useful links. Your persistently aggressive over-interpretation of ELNO is destructive to the Wikipedia project, and, again, I urge you to avoid dealing with EL issues and try some content creation.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:22, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Then, unless we hear otherwise from SchroCat or someone else, we agree on the description of the links. Thanks. --Ronz (talk) 19:17, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
 * No, I responded that I DISAGREE with your descriptions of the links. I have clarified further above so that you cannot possibly misunderstand this time. -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:32, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Could you describe them then yourself, or point out what you disagree to? --Ronz (talk) 02:38, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Whenever I see your name on my watchlist, I know that you have come to waste a huge amount of my time and the time of everyone else who contributes to the article in question. You have never contributed anything useful to any of those articles. Why don't you stop your obsessive behavior (I say "obsessive", giving you the benefit of the doubt by assuming that your actions are in good faith), and do something useful? You are not doing anything useful here.  That is a certainty.  You continue to harm the Wikipedia project by sucking up my time with your ongoing, crusade against ELs, so that I, and others, have to spend time answering your silly questions on Talk pages instead of researching and writing articles. -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:57, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Discussion started at External_links/Noticeboard. --Ronz (talk) 19:29, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Good grief. Do you actually see how disruptive you are being over something so minor? This really is sub standard behaviour. - SchroCat (talk) 21:53, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Amadeus

Primary topic style
Primarily Amadeus is a name. That is a fact. Maybe enwiki uses the article name primarily for the play, but it does not mean, it is not a name, or that should affect the disambiguation page. Does a style change facts? Am I wrong? JSoos (talk) 00:59, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Anyhow, why not the film is primary (putting it in italic is showing some also think like that). Was there any discussion about it? Also I do not find guidelines saying if there is a primary usage, then the disambiguation page MUST began with that article. JSoos (talk) 01:24, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, for disambiguation pages, the primary topic is the article whose name has no disambiguating term; see MOS:DABPRIMARY.

 * In this case, that's the article for the stage play. Its name is italicized not because it is primary, but because Wikipedia style is to italicize the names of long works, such as books, movies, or stage plays.--NapoliRoma (talk) 01:37, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Plaese quote! MOS:DABPAGES says: "It is recommended that the link back to the primary topic appear at the top, in a brief explanatory sentence." (bolded by me)
 * Amadeus (film) was italicized not the play JSoos (talk) 01:50, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Moreover what you are saying is not true: "Introductory line: The term being disambiguated should be in bold (not italics). It should begin a sentence fragment ending with a colon, introducing a bulleted list" (MOS:DABPAGES) JSoos (talk) 01:54, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Nicolas Bouvier

Nicolas Bouvier (6 March 1929 in Lancy – 17 February 1998) was a 20th-century Swiss traveller, writer, picture editor and photographer. He studied in Geneva in the 1950s and lived there later between his travels.

Life
Bouvier was born at Grand-Lancy near Geneva, the youngest of three children. He grew up in "a Huguenot milieu, rigorous and enlightened at the same time, intellectually very open, but where the entire emotional aspect of existence was strictly monitored." He passed his childhood in a house where, in his words, "the paper-cutter counted for more than the bread-knife", a double reference to his librarian father ("one of the most amiable beings I should ever have met") and his mother, "the most mediocre cook west of Suez". He grew up indifferent to gastronomy and a hardy traveller as well as an avid reader. Between the ages of six and seven, he devoured Jules Verne, Curwood, Stevenson, Jack London and Fenimore Cooper. "At eight years, I traced with my thumbnail the course of the Yukon in the butter of my toast. Already waiting for the world: to grow up and clear off."

From 1946, various escapades (Bourgogne, Tuscany, Provence, Flanders, the Sahara, Lapland, Anatolia) got him started on the path of the voyager. Nevertheless, he enrolled at the University of Geneva in the faculty of Letters and Law, indulged an interest in Sanskrit and medieval history, and thought about pursuing a doctorate (which he did not in the end take up) doing a comparative study of Manon Lescaut and Moll Flanders.

His travels all over the world incited him to recount his experiences and adventures, the most famous works being L'Usage du monde and Le Poisson-scorpion. His work is marked by a commitment to report what he sees and feels, shorn of any pretence of omniscience, leading often to an intimacy bordering on the mystical. His journey from Geneva to Japan was in many ways prescient of the great eastward wave of hippies that occurred in the sixties and seventies - slow, meandering progress in a small, iconic car, carefully guarded idiosyncrasy, a rite of passage. Yet, it differs in that the travelogues this journey inspired contain deep reflections on man's intimate nature, written in a style very much aware and appreciative of the traditions and possibilities of the language he uses. (He wrote mainly in French, though he does mention writing a series of travel articles in English for a local journal during his stay in Ceylon.)

"To reach the heart of this man, one must return to the slim volume that contains all his poems," wrote Bertial Galand, Bouvier's editor. The work in question is Le dehors et le dedans, a collection of texts written for the most part on the road and published for the first time in 1982. This is the only book of poetry by Bouvier, who nevertheless said in an interview, "Poetry is more necessary to me than prose because it is extremely direct, brutal - full-contact!"

At the end of the 1950s, the World Health Organization asked him to find images on the eye and its diseases. Thus Bouvier discovered, "through the chances of life", his profession of "image searcher," which perhaps appealed to him because "images, like music, speak a universal language," as suggested by Pierre Starobinski in his preface to Le Corps, miroir du Monde - voyage dans le musée imaginaire de Nicolas Bouvier. Another posthumous work, Entre errance et éternité, offers a poetic look at the mountains of the world. The iconographer commented on some of his finds in a series of articles for Le Temps stratégique, collected together as Histoires d'une image.

That Nicolas Bouvier lived in movement does not mean that he did not enjoy himself in Switzerland. Quite the contrary: he was involved in various activities, creating the progressive Gruppe Olten with Frisch and Dürrenmatt, after having left the Swiss Writers Society, which he found too conservative. In L'Echappée Belle, éloge de quelques pérégrins he celebrates a Switzerland "rarely spoken of: a Switzerland in movement, a nomadic Switzerland." The Swiss, sedentary? "You must be joking! In fact, the Swiss are the most nomadic people in Europe. Every sixth Swiss has chosen to live his life abroad." Reasonable? "It remains to be seen! Under the ordered surface, the varnish of the Helvetic 'as it should be,' I sense the passage of great strata of the irrational, a deaf fermentation, so present in the first thrillers of Dürrenmatt, in Fritz Zorn's Mars, a latent violence that, to me, renders this country bizarre and engaging." The traveller-writer, a close friend of Ella Maillart, thus sees in the history of his country "a constant of nomadism, of exile, of quest, of anxiety, a manner of not staying in place that have profoundly marked our mentality and, therefore, our literature. There has been, for two thousand years, a Switzerland, vagabond, pilgrim, often forced on to the road by poverty, and of which we speak all too rarely." Bouvier received the Prix de la Critique (1982), the Prix des Belles Lettres (1986), and in 1995 the Grand Prix Ramuz for the entirety of his work. On 17 February 1998, suffering from cancer, Nicolas Bouvier died, in the words of his wife Eliane (1933-2022), "in complete serenity." A few months earlier, he had written these words: "'Henceforth it is in another elsewhere / that reveals not its name / in other whispers and other plains / that you must / lighter than thistle / disappear in silence / returning thus to the winds of the road' (Le dehors et le dedans, 'Morte saison'')."Bouvier found his final resting place at the New Cemetery of Cologny. His wife Eliane, who was a daughter of top-politician Max Petitpierre and a niece of philosopher Denis de Rougemont, was buried at his site. The grave is features two model cars of the legendary Citroën 2CV, which he used for his travels around the world.

Khyber Pass (1953–1954)
Without even waiting for the results of his exams (he would learn in Bombay that he had obtained his Licence in Letters and Law), he left Switzerland in June 1953 with his friend Thierry Vernet in a Fiat Topolino. First destination: Yugoslavia. The voyage lasted till December 1954. The voyage led the two men to Turkey, to Iran and to Pakistan, Thierry Vernet leaving his friend at the Khyber Pass. Bouvier continued alone. Bouvier recounted the journey in L'Usage du monde, published in English translation as "The Way of the World". The pilgrim finds the words to express himself, and his feet follow them faithfully: "A journey does not need reasons. Before long, it proves to be reason enough in itself. One thinks that one is going to make a journey, yet soon it is the journey that makes or unmakes you." The book was described as a voyage of self-discovery '"on the order of Robert M. Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".

Sri Lanka/Ceylon (1955)
With intermittent company, Bouvier crossed Afghanistan, Pakistan and India before reaching Ceylon. Here he lost his footing: the solitude and the heat floored him. It took him seven months to leave the island and almost thirty years to free himself of the weight of this adventure with the writing of Le Poisson-scorpion (published 1981, translated into English as The Scorpion-Fish). It ends on a quote from Louis-Ferdinand Céline: "The worst defeat of all is to forget and especially the thing that has defeated you."

Japan (1955–1956)
After Ceylon, he left for another island: Japan. He found a country in the throes of change and he continued to visit Japan over the subsequent decades. These experiences led to Japon, which would become Chroniques Japonaises after a third sojourn in 1970 and a complete re-edition. It was published in English in 1992 as The Japanese Chronicles. In this book, he blended his personal experiences of Japan with Japanese history and rewrote a Japanese history from a Western perspectives. "Japan," he says, "is a lesson in economy. It is not considered good form to take up too much space."

Ireland (1985)
Building on a report for a journal in the Aran Islands, Bouvier wrote Journal d'Aran et d'autres lieux, a tale of travel that slips at times into the supernatural, the voyager suffering from typhoid. His appreciation of the air of the Irish islands is described as that which "dilates, tonifies, intoxicates, lightens, frees up animal spirits in the head who give themselves over to unknown but amusing games. It brings together the virtues of champagne, cocaine, caffeine, amorous rapture and the tourism office makes a big mistake in forgetting it in its prospectuses."

Autumn 2004

Introduction
Economics is the social science studying the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. It describes them in terms of the tradeoffs between competing alternatives as observed through measurable quantities such as input, price and output.

Economics is said to be positive when it attempts to explain the consequences of different choices given a set of assumptions and normative when it prescribes a certain route of action.

Lance Blankenship

Lance Robert Blankenship (born December 6, 1963) is an American former Major League Baseball utility player.

Blankenship played his entire career with the Oakland Athletics (1988–1993) after the A's drafted him in the 10th round of the 1986 MLB amateur draft. He made his Major League Baseball debut on September 4, 1988, and played his final game on August 15, 1993. His career concluded with a regular season .222 batting average, nine home runs, 92 runs batted in, and 54 stolen bases.

Blankenship played for the Athletics in two World Series. He was a member of the A's team that swept the San Francisco Giants in the 1989 World Series and the A's team that lost to the Cincinnati Reds in the 1990 World Series. In five postseason series, Blankenship tallied a career postseason .250 batting average with four runs scored and two stolen bases.

Blankenship's playing career was derailed by a rotator cuff injury which prevented his return to the Major Leagues. In 1995, he bought a tropical fish and aquarium store in San Ramon, California and, by 1998, he was managing it full-time.

UML/MediaWiki

MediaWiki as an application can be mapped into a metamodel using two – no, three metaclasses:
 * Actors USER, GROUP
 * Objects TOPIC, CONTENT, PAGE, RESOURCE
 * Containers DOMAIN, NAMESPACE, SECTION, SCREEN

Depending on what we want to map and how it will be presented and used, we can build our metmodel according to one of the nine to thirteen diagram types (depending on how much resolution we need). It is nearly always best to build from the top down or from the general to the specific, as it were. You actually can't do this unless you are also involved in a build that is concurrently happening somewhere else, whether you are acutly aware of it or not.

In the MediaWiki use case this build happens first on a server down in Florida or someplace as the application is installed. "We", up here in the application and presentation world don't pay much attention to it, except for times like now, just to get it out of our stream of conciousness so we can move on to bigger and more urgent things. We want to join and continue the design process "upward and inward" thus getting over our feeling of being "down and out". Yes, I also study community psychology if that's a surprise

The OSI model is a good place to start visualizing our model. It lends itself well to the MediaWiki Engine and Wikimedia use case and because MediaWiki is an Internet application, we are pulled into the master CONTEXT of Internet protocols and standards inherent in an industry-standard basic reference model which we can use as a prototype. This is, of course subjective based on my viewpoint (all diagrams need a perspective), but watch what it can do if you flip it over. (You always have to be prepared to perform "mental gymnastics" when dealing with complex systems much in the same way that aviators must learn about inverted flight.)

See Internet for some local coverage of the OSI model

Physical layer
I type this stuff into this page using a keyboard – a physical object. It is my first interface to this PAGE which exists in the next layer up – the Data Link Layer. From my own personal Terminal object facility, the interface is an Editor that automagically appears when I click on a red link object, usually on another PAGE. The primary actor is me at least from my viewpoint, my SCREEN as I see it through my monitor – another physical object.

Data-link layer
The basic unit (unified model) that I work on is the PAGE object to which I have an interface aggregation I call a terminal down there in the physical layer. Up here in the Data Link Layer, I'm not so much worried about keystrokes and screen feedback as I am about spelling, grammer, syntax, semantics and other data streams that I'm building. My hope is to enter something that is mutually meaningful to other USER and GROUP entities like you and your pals whom I am connected to through the Network Layer

Talk:American ISIS fighter

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because nominator is to inexperienced to understand our deletion process.

They claimed the article "...does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject." This individual is the first individual to be called an "enemy combatant" since 2009. The term is a controversial term, was controversial during the Bush administration, was quietly deprecated by the Obama administration, so it is highly significant that Trump officials have started using it again.

Only two other Americans were characterized "enemy combatants", Yaser Hamdi and Jose Padilla. Its use on Americans was considered quite controversial.

Nominator would have learned all this, if they had complied with WP:BEFORE. --Geo Swan (talk) 21:29, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Identity...

 * I just jumped on this bandwagon today as this area is not my forté - I'm more of a steam-era strategist - but when it comes to the use of Information Warfare in the broader strategic context, I feel I have something to add to the discussion. Perhaps to jump-start the topic we should link it to the Computer Science School. As a matter of fact, I think I will do just that right now.--Dnjkirk 13:44, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I have not heard of any actual full-blown cyber-warfare. Has there been any?Hillgentleman 15:04, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Just to hand-waive a little (as I don't really know) I think it's important that Cyber-Warfare be defined before it can be identified as having happened or not. Could a concerted DDoS attack be considered Cyber Warfare? Could the Falun Gong hijacking of a satellite TV station in China be considered Cyber Warfare? Good question. Perhaps a project: define Cyber-Warfare.--Dnjkirk 19:57, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

The first part of the stone building was opened as a library in 1884 with the museum and gallery being added in 1903 and extended in 1913. It became an art and heritage centre in 2003. It houses collections relating to local history and related topics, with changing exhibitions over time.

History
The library was built first, opening in 1884, after a fire at Rochdale Town Hall destroyed the "Clock Tower Library" in 1883. The art gallery and museum were built and linked to the library in 1903, and an extension added in 1913. The building was converted into an art and heritage centre in 2003.

Collections
The museums has collections relating to: social history, costume and textiles, archaeology, Egyptology, geology, natural history and decorative arts. There is a particular focus on the American Civil War and its impact on the cotton industry during the Lancashire Cotton Famine of the 1860s. The collection is accredited by Arts Council England. It also hosts changing exhibitions.

Architecture
It is in Yorkshire stone and has a slate roof. The library has one storey, a front of three gables with ball finials, a central porch with an arcaded parapet, an elliptical-headed doorway, and mullioned and transomed windows with elliptical heads and hood moulds. The museum and art gallery have two storeys, a four-bay central block, a three-bay gabled block to the right, and a diagonally-set gabled block to the left. On the gables are panels of carved figures.

Cookbook talk:Vegetable

why has everything got "CookBook" in front of it?

 * To answer Christiaan's question above, we use the "Cookbook:" prefix to avoid possible nameing conflicts. While many pages in the cookbook have unique names without the prefix, some would not.  For example, the cookbook module on salt, at Cookbook:Salt, should have different information than Salt (general chemistry), if it's there yet (I don't really know what naming convention they're using over there), while our module on oysters is very different than what you'd expect to find in Marine Biology:Oyster (which doesn't exist, but might one day).

User:Perl~enwikibooks/Ellen Foster/character

Ellen's mama's mama is an extremely bitter woman who treats Ellen with undue contempt. Ellen's mama's mama resents Ellen and blames her for Ellen's dad's mistakes (most notably Ellen's mother's death). Ellen has trouble understanding why her grandmother is unable to differentiate Ellen from Ellen's father.

Ellen's father is a lazy and dirty man who thinks of only himself. He usually isn't around, and when he is around he is usually drunk and prone to sexually harassing Ellen. As a result, Ellen is forced to take care of the bills and make dinner for herself and her father. Ellen talks about wanting to kill her father.

Starletta and her family are very poor. Ellen informs the reader that Starletta has been known to eat dirt and is slightly retarded. Their family, however, is kind and generous to Ellen. They feed her and let her stay with them without asking any questions. Thus, Starletta becomes Ellen's best friend. At first, Ellen has mixed feelings towards the family because they are "colored," but near the end of the novel, Ellen realizes that this was a silly opinion to hold and she apologizes to Starletta.

Mama (Ellen’s mother) dies very early in Ellen’s life from an overdose of medications. Ellen’s father refuses to take her mother to the hospital making the death partly his fault. When Ellen goes to her grandmother’s house, the reader learns that Mama was very highly regarded by her family. It is not clear, however, why Ellen’s mother married the man that she did instead of pursuing a career.

Dora and Nadine are a fairly wealthy family who allow Ellen to stay at their house for Christmas. When Dora (Nadine's daughter) asks Ellen what she wants for Christmas, Ellen says that she only wants paper, although she hopes that Dora will get her something better. Dora only gives Ellen paper and Ellen gets upset. Ellen gives Dora a hand drawn painting, for which Dora expresses dislike. Ellen becomes insulted by this and by the fact that Dora was so sparing when she shopped for a present.

Help needed for new entry
(header added to avoid confusion with previous section. GermanJoe (talk) 10:36, 6 February 2015 (UTC) )

Hello,

Could you possibly help? This whole process is unduly complicated, and whilst being moderately computer-savvy, most of your instructions are way beyond me. I'd like to place an entry for an author friend of mine. It is already written, and being a new member I'm now in the 4-day waiting period before I can proceed. What I don't understand is how I place her name at the top of my entry so that people looking for 'Maureen Carter' will be directed to it.

There are numerous hints on WRITING an entry - but both she and me are experienced writers! - what you don't explain is how to get her entry under her name.

I would so appreciate your help on this !

Regards, Adrian Juste (aka Morriss Man) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morriss Man (talk • contribs) 10:25, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

 * There is no 4-day waiting period before you can proceed. You must be thinking of autoconfirmeded users (who also need to make at least 10 edits), but that is not required to write an article. For new users, especially when they have a connection to the subject, it is recommended to use Articles for creation. It may initially get a name like "Draft:Maureen Carter". If the article is accepted then the reviewer will automatically give it an appropriate name which will be displayed at the top. Maureen Carter is currently a redirect to List of EastEnders characters (2000) so it's possible the reviewer will choose a name like "Maureen Carter (author)". Note that everything in the article must already have been published by a reliable source. You cannot use unpublished personal knowledge. PrimeHunter (talk) 11:42, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

image info box
I am trying to put an image into an info box - but keep getting just PCOLogo.png appearing as text in red. What am I doing wrong please — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allthingscoastal (talk • contribs) 11:44, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

 * The logo would have to be uploaded before it can be used in an article. I see no sign of such a file being uploaded. There may also be a problem in your infobox code but I would have to see the code to tell and it doesn't appear you have saved it. Can you give a link to the logo? Logos usually have to be uploaded by an autoconfirmed user with a fair use claim but if it's http://www.channelcoast.org/images/07/logoSW.png then it may fall under Logos.

Good afternoon, I have just updated the Sunderland Symphony Orchestra page by adding a new paragraph at the beginning and modifying some of the contents.

Where have I gone wrong? Help will be appreciated. Thank you,

Firefox stops responding on large pages
Does anyone know about any conflicts between our software or gadgets/js and any add-ons for Firefox? When I edit large pages (entire large pages as opposed to just sections of pages), Firefox locks up almost immediately and has to be killed from the Windows 7 Task Manager. I'm pretty sure that it's an FF add-on causing the problem because it doesn't occur if I start FF in Safe Mode so that none of the add-on's load. I know the right way to diagnose it by disabling my add-on's one at a time until it goes away, but I run a lot of add-on's and that's a PITA, so was hoping that someone here might know of a usual suspect or two to try first. Regards, TransporterMan  ( TALK ) 15:28, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Copy-editing a draft article
I am expecting a request from an editor for help in copy-editing the draft of an article he is working on. I have never heard of copy-editing another editor's draft article. Is that permissible, or wise, even? ~ P-123 (talk) 16:18, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey P-123. Drafts are copyedited all the time – yes, it's permissible. Wise? Well, maybe not if you think the topic has no place here (because no amount of copyediting will help a subject become notable) but if that's not an issue then there is no issue I see.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 16:39, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Fuhghettaboutit: Thank you. I have no idea about the notability of the article, but fear the editor might hack it about mercilessly before uploading it so that much time and effort spent copy-editing (translating!) would be wasted.  This has happened before with articles I have carefully copy-edited (translated!), where editors have changed their minds drastically about what should be in the article, so am somewhat chary about getting involved at the early stages of an article!   ~ P-123 (talk) 16:54, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Forgot to mention that the draft is still in the editor's sandbox. I don't suppose that makes any difference to what you said, though does it? ~ P-123 (talk) 16:58, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I think that makes a big difference. I freely edit drafts, as I regard them as "public property", like articles. But I have very rarely edited anything (except for talk pages) in a user's space, and then only with their explicit permission. Maproom (talk) 17:26, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Maproom: I thought anything in a sandbox was a "draft". Are drafts formally distinguished from final versions in "public" space, or am I seeing a difference where there is none? ~ P-123 (talk) 17:36, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

@P-123:  Nope, no difference. It's hard to talk about this in the theoretical and your time is your own. If you feel it's not worth your effort given what the actual draft looks like, or you think the person is going to radically change the content anyway, making early efforts to turn it into acceptable English prose mostly a waste, declining such a request is your prerogative. Guard your time jealously for efforts that matter (easier said than done of course). As to notability, it's an important consideration because why bother if it looks like the topic is unsuitable for an article no matter how polished and neutral the prose? The issue is whether there are sufficient reliable and independent sources writing about the topic in detail to show that the world has taken note of the topic and that the information content can be verified. BTW, I might mention that there is one potential implication of editing a draft: when there's a later improper copy and paste move to the mainspace rather than a use of the move function. Though a move is almost always better, when a draft that has only one editor is copied and pasted somewhere else by that same editor, there's no copyright problems because the pasted locations history still lists the sole author as the author. But if a draft has other substantive editors, then a copy and paste move severs the new location from the history of the draft, which provides the copyright attribution.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 17:39, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Fuhghettaboutit: Help!  There is more to this than I thought.  Thanks for taking the trouble to give such a full answer!  I will pass this on to the editor concerned, who I understand is a newbie. ~ P-123 (talk) 18:16, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * First, did you say that the author of the draft has requested your help in copy-editing it? If so, has the author confirmed that they are finished with it, or do they also plan to "hack it about"?  My own advice would be not to bother to copy-edit the article until the author states that they are finished with it, but that it is just a matter of avoiding rework.  Second, although all of a draft in a user's sandbox, a draft in named user space, and a draft in draft space are available to anyone to edit, it is generally assumed that a draft in draft space is there for review by other editors, and a draft in a user's sandbox is there only for the originator, and a draft in user space with an article name is in between.  I would not advise copy-editing an article in a user's sandbox, even if that is requested, and would not advise copy-editing in article with an article name in user space unless it has been requested.  Those are my thoughts for now.  I wouldn't waste time editing if the author also plans to continue editing.  Also, if the article appears not to be capable of passing notability, I would advise so advising the author and leaving it alone, regardless of what space it is in.  Robert McClenon (talk) 18:25, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Coming at this from the other direction – if I create a draft, in draft space, it is because I would like it to become an article some day, so I hope other editors will improve it. If I create a subpage of my user page, I know that other editors can read it, but I "own" it and I really don't want anyone to edit it. Maproom (talk) 20:55, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you to everyone for their clear and full answers, it is much appreciated. ~ P-123 (talk) 10:51, 7 February 2015 (UTC).

Old Text templates?
I see Old Text templates used when there does not seem to be a need because 1) The article does not "incorporate text," it only uses the source as a source 2) The use of the material is already footnoted.

For instance, at Christianity in China among the list of Old Text Templates is, which is referenced in notes 13 & 14.

There is no explanation at Old Text template.

Am I missing something? Is it OK to delete these templates?

Cheers, ch (talk) 22:50, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

 * The general answer is that if a work is used only as a source (i.e. it is not copied verbatim or closely paraphrased) then it does not need a PD-old-text template. Determining to what extent the work is used, however, can be somewhat tricky. The article history shows that much of the material from Vol 13 of "The Chinese Repository" was added to the "Christianity in China" article by User:Labnoor (e.g. and ) so you might try to contact this editor at User talk:Labnoor to ask whether the source was used for more than just a source. Another way to handle it would be to use an online tool such as the WikiMedia Foundation's Duplication Detector or a third-party tool like Copyscape to compare the text of the Wikipedia article to the text of the source of which portions are alleged to be incorporated. A full text of Volume 13 of "The Chinese Repository", for example, is available here. In general it's a good idea to be very cautious about removing these templates as they relate to copyright and if there is any substance to their claims then it is important to notify readers of Wikipedia's claims to their free use. I hope that helps. -Thibbs (talk) 13:43, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Maya Chowdhry

Maya Chowdhry (born 1964) is a British playwright, poet and transmedia interactive artist.

Life
Maya Chowdhry was born in Edinburgh in 1964. She began writing as an adolescent: "I began writing to stay above water; I wrote to survive teenage years: crushes, exams, obsessional cooking – my poetry was a life-line. When my poetry was published I was asked to read at the launch – to perform my life. It slipped easily off the tongue: I had had years of performing answers to society's questions about my identities; I had written about the questions, searching for my true identity. Readings became performances, multi-media shows, commissions. Suddenly my identity was captured, fractured, sliced and served to audiences and I was a 'live' challenge to myself."

Chowdhry worked for Sheffield Film Co-op in the 1980s, and wrote theatre for young people in the 1990s. Like other black women playwrights such as Jackie Kay and Jacqueline Rudet, Chowdhry was helped by the appointment of the black woman producer Frances-Anne Solomon to BBC Radio 4.

Chowdhry's first play, Monsoon (1993), was broadcast as part of the BBC Young Playwrights' Festival. Monsoon portrays the return of sisters Jalaarnava and Kavitaa, two second-generation migrant young women, to their parents' birthplace in India. The play parallels the experience of menstruation with waiting for the seasonal monsoon. Chowdhry's play Kaahini (1997) was toured by Red Ladder, as one of a series of plays aimed primarily at Asian-British girls. Influenced by the story of Shikhandi in the Mahabharata, the play dramatizes a gender reversal narrative: a British Indian teenage girl, Esha, is brought up by her parents as a boy. After a close friend Farooq falls in love with Esha, she reveals herself to him as a girl and is forced to work through her gender identity.

In 2000 Chowdhry moved into digital work, and received an Arts Council Year of the Artist Award for her digital work destinyNation.

In 2015 Chowdhry collaborated with poet Sarah Hymas on "poetic sculptures" exploring the fragility of life and anthropogenic climate change.

In April 2020 Chowdhry was awarded a COVID-19 Creative Commission from Greater Manchester Combined Authority.

Unmanned aerial systems

This project will attempt to assess whether or not the state of the art is currently conducive to this sort of technology, and if it is, how best to implement the technology.

Possible uses for this technology include: wireless mesh network clouds, speaker systems, lighting systems, video monitoring systems, cleaning and sanitation, shipping, reconnaissance aerial photography systems, and so forth.

Drones and unmanned arial systems are a future oriented technology.

 * Can systems be made that can remain airborne a long period of time?
 * Are solar cells currently advanced enough to allow this?
 * Do other technologies exist that could allow this?
 * Can this be done inexpensively?
 * Can software be developed to allow:
 * Communication between these devices
 * The devices to remain autonomous and safe
 * Communication between the ground
 * The devices to remain autonomous for long periods
 * Can this be done to look attractive and aesthetically pleasing?
 * Can a twin blade design keep a vehicle aloft in an enclosure or in some hidden manner or other configuration?

Workspace

 * /Readings/
 * /Specifications/

Learning Task

 * (Drone) Explore definition of Drone and unmanned aerial vehicles.
 * (Remote Control/Autonomous Vehicle) Assume is unmanned aerial vehicle is controlled by a remote control or it is designed as autonomous vehicle with optical pattern recognition. Compare those two approaches and explain the challenges, requirements and constraints!

Discussion questions

 * Can drones potentially be used to stop gun violence?
 * This idea has been put forth to design drones that can detect gun fire and if necessary then stop the shooter within 30 seconds, instead of potentially 10-15 minutes not using drones.

 * How can drones be used in art exhibits and exhibitions?
 * How might drones be utilized for 100 years? 500 years? 10 years? 15 years?

$$F\,$$= gravitational force $$(N)$$ $$G\,$$= gravitational constant $$(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}\frac{N \cdot m^2}{kg^2})$$ $$m_1\,$$= mass of the 1st body $$m_2\,$$= mass of the 2nd body $$r\,$$= distance between the center of object 1 and center of object 2

Earth's gravity
To understand what is going on, one should be clear about the concept of mass. So what is mass? Nothing but one of the properties of any particle. Then what are the other properties? There are many other properties that have been discovered by scientists. Some of these are Mass, Electric charge, Strangeness, Spin, etc.

Everything in the universe is a collection of particles. And some particles couldn't exist without others. Whatever we see (or can't see) is just a collection of particles. Earth is also a collection of particles, as is a stone. By Newton's Law, both of these should attract each other with a force of magnitude proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the distance between their centers.

Take that stone. It's attracted toward earth's center with a constant force as neither mass nor distance changes. You can now see what happens if you throw a stone away from the center of earth. The stone is attracted toward the center with variable force as the distance changes. The distance between centers is ( radius of earth + distance of stone from ground + radius of stone ). The mean radius of Earth is 6731.0 kilometers.

If we compare the radius of the earth to the height and radius of the stone, we'll find those to be negligible. But only if we've guessed a suitably large value. Calculate the force between the earth and the stone by substituting into the above equation.

We know that force applied is the product of mass and acceleration (F=M*a). Force between the earth and the stone is the equivalence of the equations (F = m*a = G*M*m/r^2 ). Now we will find the acceleration of the stone toward center as G*M/r^2 which we denote as 'g', the acceleration due to gravity. It can be considered constant at the height to which one can toss a stone.

Gravitational Potential Energy
Gravitational potential energy can be expressed as

 * $$P.E. = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{R_f} - \frac{Gm_1m_2}{R_o}\,$$

Martín was mainly a backup to Joel during his first season, where he featured in eight matches overall, but was demoted to third-choice in his second after the arrival of Claudio Bravo. On 30 July 2021, after falling down further in the pecking order due to the arrival of Rui Silva, he moved to Málaga CF in the second division on a one-year loan deal.

On 17 July 2023, Martín signed a two-year deal with FC Andorra in division two. Roughly one year later, after suffering relegation, he agreed to a one-year contract with CD Eldense of the same category.

Arto Tolsa Areena

Arto Tolsa Areena is a football stadium in Kotka, Finland. It is the home stadium of Kotkan Työväen Palloilijat (KTP). The stadium holds 4,780 and was inaugurated in 1952 for the Helsinki Olympics. The stadium's record attendance was made during the Olympic Games in the football match between the Soviet Union and Bulgaria, the score having been 2–1 a.e.t. Depending on the source, the record is 10,000, or 10,637 or 10,950.

Arto Tolsa Areena used to be known as "Urheilukeskus" ("Sports Center" in Finnish). It got its current name after it was renovated around the turn of millennium. The current name comes from Arto Tolsa, who was a legendary Finnish player of Kotkan Työväen Palloilijat, the predecessor of KTP.

2009 Women's Cricket World Cup Final

 * Nominator(s): Harrias talk 21:53, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

It's been a while since I've walked these halls, but let's give it a whirl. My main area of concern with this article is how accessible it is to the layperson. The GA review, which was a while ago, was carried out by another editor with good knowledge of cricket. I think I at least have provided sufficient wikilinks to help with this, but I'll let you judge for yourselves. This is a potential WikiCup nomination. Harrias talk 21:53, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Support Comments from Jim
On first read through, this looks comprehensive and well written. Some comments follow Jimfbleak - talk to me?  12:23, 18 February 2015 (UTC) Thanks for your comments; I've addressed the (easy) two, and will have a look at the others later, when I've got a bit more time! Harrias talk 13:03, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * There is a lot of overlinking, particularly, but not exclusively, of players' names. I suggest running the script
 * Done, I think there is only one left, which I prefer to leave for clarity. Harrias talk 13:22, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 * At least one ref, 33, lacks a publisher
 * Fixed this. Harrias talk 13:03, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure of the point of redlinking previous final contest in 1993.
 * I was hoping it would be a blue link by now, but I haven't got to it! Removing the red link from the lead, but left it in the later section. Harrias talk 13:03, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not convinced that either "top-scored" or "recovered the innings" are grammatical
 * I have replaced these, hopefully the replacements work! Harrias talk 13:22, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 * No rush, it will give me time to find more nitpicks (: Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  16:07, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Despite losing regular wickets—I think you mean "Despite regularly losing wickets" Jimfbleak - talk to me?  07:12, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Same with "Australia lost regular wickets" Jimfbleak - talk to me?  07:14, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Good points, both changed. Harrias talk 13:22, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 * You switch between numbers and words for wickets eg "205 for 5" but "201 for five". stick to one style Jimfbleak - talk to me?  07:17, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Nice spot, it should all be consistent now. Harrias talk 13:22, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 *  first team of either gender — "gender" applies to words, not people. Should be "of either sex" Jimfbleak - talk to me?  07:22, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Didn't know that. Fixed. Harrias talk 13:22, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

 * No further queries, so I've changed to support above. Nice to see an article about women's sport, good luck Jimfbleak - talk to me?  16:36, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Quick first run-through comments from TRM The Rambling Man (talk) 20:46, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * The prose in the lead is somewhat repetitive, and I understand why, but repeating "women's cricket" three times in two sentences is a little too much for my taste.
 * I don't disagree, but I'm unsure what to do about this to be honest! Harrias talk 22:23, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * " first on foreign soil" isn't this a shade tabloid?
 * Modified. Harrias talk 22:23, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Our article on Nicki Shaw has her as "Nicky Shaw". Plus be consistent.
 * Sorted; weirdly, I wasn't even aware it was sometimes spelt "Nicki", who knows what I was doing when I wrote that! Harrias talk 22:23, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Could link "toss" to coin flipping.
 * Linked to Toss (cricket). Harrias talk 22:23, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * "scored the most runs for" would prefer "was the highest scorer for"
 * Changed as suggested. Harrias talk 22:23, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Link ball to delivery (cricket).
 * Done. Harrias talk 22:23, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Is it "Player of the Match", "player of the match" or "Man of the match"?
 * I think I have consistently used "player of the match" in the prose, although I appreciate that the infobox uses "Player of the Match". I'm not aware of "Man of the match" being used? Harrias talk 22:23, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Is "traditional rivals" a quote, it seems like it might be so quote it. If not, it's a little OR.
 * Personally I think it is a bit OTT to require inverted commas, but I have placed it within them nevertheless. Harrias talk 22:23, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * "of only 34 runs", "eased to a total " it's a tough one, but saying things like "only", "eased"....  turns this from an encyclopedic article into a sports report...
 * Journalese is a weakness of mine. Tweaked those examples. Harrias talk 22:23, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Link "spin bowlers".
 * Linked. Harrias talk 22:23, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * "Marsh took a career-best five wickets" any thoughts on linking to a "Five-for" at the Glossary of cricket terms here?
 * Linked to Five-for (which redirects). Harrias talk 22:23, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Consider finding a link for "run-rate".
 * Linked to run rate. Harrias talk 22:23, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * "England's following match was against the West Indies, and they once again surpassed 200 runs after batting first." be careful with these sentences, I would suggest it's ambiguous who "they" are.
 * I see what you mean, but don't the sentences around it provide enough context to eliminate that ambiguity? Harrias talk 22:23, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * " the run scoring" why not stick with run rate?
 * Who knows, changed. Harrias talk 22:23, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * In the "Build up" section, there's an odd selection of whether to link the year or not, final or not etc.
 * Removed the red link for 1993. The use of final or not makes sense to me, but I can stand to be corrected. Harrias talk 22:23, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * New Zealand Herald should be The New Zealand Herald.
 * Fixed. Harrias talk 22:23, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * You didn't add (ICC) after the first use of International Cricket Council.
 * Added. Harrias talk 22:23, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Ref 23, "Wisden Cricketer's Almanack" should be "Wisden Cricketers' Almanack".
 * If these are the "quick first run-through" comments, I'm worried about the "thorough read-through" comments! Harrias talk 11:40, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Oppose, sorry. I know my cricket, and yet even I find some of the sentences and paragraphs impenetrable. The causes of the impenetrability are generally too much use of numbers, especially within the same sentence. Also, and this is fundamental, as it concerns comprehensiveness, which is more important than ptose: there are five paragraphs of prose about preliminary matters and only two on the match. Yet it is the latter that purports to be the subject of the article. Is there not more that can be said about the match? Do the FA criteria not require a greater degree of comprehensiveness? Venue? Crowd? Time of day? Weather? Umpires? [Yes, I know some of these are in the infobox and scorecard but a comprehensive overview would require details in the prose]. Some examples of prose/sourcing issues:
 * "In response, New Zealand began positively, and were boosted by a half-century from their captain, Tiffen, but the spin bowling of Edwards, Marsh and Colvin controlled the run rate, and New Zealand were eventually bowled out for 170, Edwards taking four wickets." - That's quite an amount of work for one sentence to do.
 * "New Zealand were drawn in Group A of the competition, along with the West Indies, South Africa and their "traditional rivals" Australia." - Where are these quotes from?
 * "Prior to the start of the competition, Jenny Roesler of Cricinfo suggested England and New Zealand, along with Australia, as the favourites to win the competition. The final was a repeat of the 1993 final, when England won at Lord's." - We jump here from a pre-tournament prediction to the tournament final, which is a huge leap for the reader. Should the former sentence be earlier in the article?
 * "New Zealand set a record partnership for the second wicket in women's ODIs in their final match" - the reader immediately wants to know, "against whom?" yet doesn't find out for another three sentences.
 * Are live ball-by-ball commentaries reliable sources for FA standards? ? Look at the work that footnote 25 is being asked to perform; it is surely too much.
 * Cheers. --Mkativerata (talk) 11:10, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your review Mkativerata. I always thought that comprehensiveness could be an issue, but until an article comes to FA itself, this is often hard to discern for sure. I can work on any prose issues, and integrate a bit more of the information presented in the infobox and scorecard into the prose, but the unfortunate fact is, women's cricket is no subject to much coverage, even for a World Cup final! Without adding irrelevant "padding", I can't really see any way of significantly extended the match summary, and in fact, if the reliability of the ball-by-ball coverage is questioned for FA, then it would have to be shortened. I am more than willing to put in work if you think the article can eventually reach FA standards within those confines, but if you feel that will permanently prevent it from achieving the required standard, then I can accept that. Harrias talk 11:33, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Indeed. I think this is one of those articles that is pretty much incapable of ever being an FA. There are only some articles that are capable of meeting both criteria 1b and 1c; for others, the high-quality sources just aren't there or are there in insufficient quantity to make the article fully comprehensive. You're probably 98% there in terms of making the article as good as it can be, but even 100% would fall short. --Mkativerata (talk) 19:27, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I disagree. There's no reason why an article of this length and comprehensiveness, using quality sources like Cricinfo should be prevented from becoming an FA.  Unless, of course, we really want to start reinforcing the idea that minority sports or sports for women are automatically precluded because the coverage isn't as thorough as that of the men's game.  The Rambling Man (talk) 19:46, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
 * There is every reason. The criteria tell us that the article must "neglect no major facts or details". This one does: the account of a six or seven hour match is very brief, and there is no information in the prose about the venue, crowd, weather, umpires, etc. The criteria also tell us that the artcle is to have "high-quality reliable sources". A Cricinfo article may well meet that description; ball-by-ball coverage is a different matter. I'm well aware that my views on the capacity of this article to meet the FA criteria are an indirect consequence of bias in the coverage of women's cricket. But so it must be. We can't turn a blind eye to our generally applicable FA criteria to account for that bias. --Mkativerata (talk) 20:25, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Once again, there is no reason. Discussing a six or seven hour match or even a five day match in the "comprehensiveness" you seem to be seeking would become a turgid and unreadable morass of text.  If the key points are highlighted, and in particular with cricket, that's never ever going to be down to a ball-by-ball-by-blow account, an article shouldn't be summarily dismissed as never being able to achieve featured status.  I am, however, interested by the fact that there seems a clear indicator here that minority and women's sports events such as this are being described as impossible to hit FA.  Probably worthy of wider discussion.  Do you know what the shortest FA is?  I'd be fascinated to know.  The Rambling Man (talk) 21:12, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Probably Tropical Depression Ten (2005). Harrias talk 08:37, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

I've added some more detail on the venue and similar as requested. I haven't addressed the other concerns as yet, but with these additions, are some of your concerns regarding comprehensiveness alleviated? Harrias talk 12:30, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks - I'll re-visit my oppose over the next day or so. --Mkativerata (talk) 19:25, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Closing comment -- I note Mkativerata's offer to revisit the oppose but even then we would not have the level of support required to keep this review open after running more than six weeks. I'll therefore be archiving it shortly and ask that further work take place outside the FAC process. Tks/cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 13:46, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Syrus Marcus Ware

Syrus Marcus Ware is a Canadian artist, activist and scholar. He lives and works in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and is an assistant professor in the school of the arts at McMaster University. He has worked since 2014 as faculty and as a designer for The Banff Centre. Ware is the inaugural artist-in-residence for Daniels Spectrum, a cultural centre in Toronto, and a founding member of Black Lives Matter Toronto. For 13 years, he was the coordinator of the Art Gallery of Ontario's youth program. During that time Ware oversaw the creation of the Free After Three program and the expansion of the youth program into a multi pronged offering.

He has published four books and in 2020 co-edited (with Rodney Diverlus and Sandy Hudson) Until We Are Free: Reflections on Black Lives Matter in Canada, a bestselling collection of reflections on the Black Lives Matter movement in Canada.

Early life and education
Syrus Marcus Ware was born in Montreal, Quebec and is the twin brother of entomologist Dr. Jessica Ware. He attended Etobicoke School of the Arts for high school before transferring to Forrest Hill Collegiate Institute. Ware studied art history and visual studies at University of Toronto and University of British Columbia, earning his Honours Bachelors in 2002. He studied with Joanne Tod and the late David Buller. During his studies he was the coordinator for the Centre for Women and Trans People at the University of Toronto.

Ware began his Masters of Arts in sociology and equity studies in education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education in 2006, graduating in 2010. Ware began his PhD in the faculty of environmental studies at York University in 2014 and successfully defended this doctoral thesis in 2021. He is a Sylff Fellow and a Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships scholar.

Career
Ware's work explores social justice frameworks and Black activist culture through performance, large scale drawing, installations, paintings and dance. He specifically focuses on issues surrounding gender, sexuality and race. Ware's art centres around his beliefs in social justice and activism.

Ware was selected to be part of the Toronto Biennial of Art inaugural 2019 and 2022 exhibitions. At the 2019 Biennial he created Antarctica, a performance and interactive installation about white supremacy and climate change and Ancestors, Do You Read Us: Dispatches From The Future, an 8 channel video work created with Mishann Lau and set in 2072 in a world where Black and Indigenous people have survived climate change and race wars. His work has been shown at locations and events that include the Sydney Festival, the Art Gallery of Burlington, the Art Gallery of Ontario, The Art Gallery of Windsor, The University of Lethbridge Art Gallery, The Gladstone Hotel, and the Art Gallery of York University.

In 2021, Ware was commissioned to write a new play, Emmett, for Obsidian Theatre and CBC Gem. The play is set in a near future in a decidedly different landscape and follows Medgar (a reimagined, future living Medgar Evers) on the day that everything changes. The performance was filmed in Toronto in 2021 and features actor Prince Amponsah. Directed by Tanisha Taitt, the production began broadcasting on CBC Gem on February 12, 2021.

Community radio
For 17 years, Ware was the host of Resistance on the Sound dial, a community radio show on 89.5 CIUT FM. In the show he combined activist music with political interviews and conversations with activists and artists, such as Octavia E. Butler, New Zealand transgender MP Georgina Beyer, Ursula Rucker, Tumi & the Volume and Bob Moses from SNCC. He also participated in other shows on the station including Wench Radio, Radio OPIRG and By All Means.

Activism
Ware is a long time abolitionist - he has been an activist for 25 years. He was a core team member with Black Lives Matter - Toronto. He is a co-founder of Black Lives Matter - Canada and Wildseed Centre for Art and Activism. Ware collaborated with Blackness Yes! for 19 years in order to create events like the trans and black stage at Pride called Blockorama.

=Hooley ratio=

The Hooley ratio, also known as the Jack Hooley attendance standard, is a universal time standard. The percentage calculates how far into an event the British amateur historian Jack Hooley will arrive, based on the overall duration of the occasion.

Example calculations
For a two-and-a-half hour exam (150 minutes), Jack will arrive 35.3928 minutes in (approximately 35 minutes and 24 seconds); this same value is given when using the SI percentage. For a party lasting from 19:00 to 00:00 (five hours), Jack is calculated to arrive at 20:10:47, meaning he has missed over an hour of socialising.
