User:Fetofs/coaching

This page will be used for my admin coaching, with DakotaKahn and Friday.

RFA
I think I'm an overall good user. I have contributed to WP:AFD and even closed some debates where the articles had been speedied by another user. I revert vandalism frequently, and have tagged a lot of new pages for speedy deletion in new pages patrol. I also have quite an experience with helping newbies out at New contributors' help page and at the Help Desk. This has led me into finding many policies I didn't even know that existed, and proves that I try to be always patient and ready to help (I looked out for the answer of one user for an hour). For those who care about edit counts, I have over 2000 edits, of those 556 are in the project namespace and 73 in project talk. Although I don't edit much per day, I spend 99% of my time online at the encyclopedia (5 hours or so), mostly reading and looking for minor and/or formatting errors. What I stated above are the reasons by which I think I should be a Wikipedia admin.

RFA questions
Guided by Friday, I'm putting the questions here. If you want to aadd more to the bottom, feel free to do so!

 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? Please check out Category:Wikipedia backlog, and read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.

I plan on helping with the backlog at Category:Candidates for speedy deletion, closing AFD debates and RC patrolling with the rollback tool and the blocking tools, maybe checking WP:AIV as well.

 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?

My strong point is surely not contributing to articles, and I haven't done any contributions I could really satisfy myself with. I don't write much, because I think that I don't have the skills required to write a good article, nor do I have the knowledge to, and that's why I want to help the community anyway I can. My main contributions are at Tietê River, Baillie-PSW primality test and Laura Z. Hobson.

 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?

I don't think I've ever been in any conflicts regarding editing. However, I can do say what I've learned from experience and hope to follow in the future, that conflicts are much better solved if you keep yourself cool and analyse both sides of the argument.

 * 4. (suggested question from Friday) What do you think of the "process versus product" issue? When do you think it's appropriate to ignore standard procedures in favor of doing something else?

Every case is different, and I would only ignore standard procedures when I've already asked for the opinion of the community on that and I feel we have nothing to lose and some to win with that attitude.

 * 5. (another suggestion) Do you feel you've made any mistakes while editing? If so, what did you do upon realizing your mistake?  Is there anything you've done that other editors appeared to have considered a mistake, whether you thought it was or not?

I feel I've made lots of mistakes in my beginning at Wikipedia, but I was too new to go back and check what others thought of that mistake. The only mistake I got warned of was mistaking good faith edits by an anon for vandalism and reverting it. He reverted me back and I learnt not to put myself editing content I do not know nothing about.

 * 6. In your own words, tell us what you think the most important traditions and/or rules are at Wikipedia, and why they're important. These can be things that may or may not be official policy- I'm asking for your own personal opinions as well as your interpretation of policies.  What are your thoughts on the role of admins in enforcing policy?

The most important traditions and/or rules at Wikipedia, for me, are the key principles, to which we hold on into building an encyclopedia and everyone knows by heart. That would probably be WP:NPOV, WP:BB, WP:NOT, WP:8W (consequently, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia) and, something which every editor on this site finds quite important - the third pillar of the encyclopedia.

Wikipedia is not a democracy, but I find that consensus is only a bit different(because everybody gets to interact, support and oppose) and, therefore, WP:CIVIL and WP:NPA are very important in those interactions (that would be [WP:5P|the fourth pillar]]).

I personally don't like the WP:IAR thing, as it can be used to justify unilateral (read not consensual) actions without any need for discussion by trolls.

An admin should enforce the policy wholeheartedly, just like a normal editor would - warning users about disrespect to policy and trying to avoid being warned by that, in extreme cases blocking. Admins shouldn't disrespect policy, but if they disagree with it, they should propose changes (as they probably have a reason to disagree that should be heard). After that, if users still disagree, and the old policy is consensual even with the reasons transparent, the admin should follow it even if he disagrees.

 * 7. If you're doing RC patrol and looking at things that have been tagged as speedies, deletion will obviously be part of your work.  Deletions can, of course, be controversial.  How do you see the relative roles of speedy deletion, prod, and Afd?  How do you typically deal with an article that's been tagged for speedy but that you don't think should be speedied?   What about one that you think should be deleted, but may be borderline according to the speedy criteria?  Have you found ways to deal with undesirable content apart from the various deletion methods?  Ideally I'd like examples, but I realize this is less practical because things that have been actually deleted are harder to look at.

Wow, those are a lot of questions into one! Therefore, I'll answer it into sections:

 * How do you typically deal with an article that's been tagged for speedy but that you don't think should be speedied?

First and foremost principle of speedy deletion - they should not be controversial. If it meets WP:CSD it's deleted, if it doesn't (and I would have a reason to think so), I'd remove the speedy tag, probably explaining on the talk page; if I think it should be deleted anyway, I'd have PROD'ed it (as an article that looked like a speedy wouldn't have any controversy); if I think it should be kept but it's not clearly a keep, I'd let the community decide. If the speedy request was of an article that shouldn't be deleted at all (probably not knowing policy or in bad faith), I'd just have removed the tag. Of course, I'd explain my rationale to the original tagger in all of those alternatives.

 * How do you see the relative roles of speedy deletion, prod, and Afd?

Speedy deletion is just for articles that meet WP:CSD, avoiding to have to follow the process when the article obviously wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell to achieve success. PROD is for obvious deletions that are not so obvious to be speedies but aren't likely to be contested. Although they "aren't likely" to be contested, some are. They avoid unnecessary discussion on WP:AFD. WP:AFD should only be used for articles that the nom think have a chance to be kept on the community discussion. That is good, as it can normally define the community consensus on controversial deletions.

 * What about one that you think should be deleted, but may be borderline according to the speedy criteria?

Well, if "borderline" means meeting WP:CSD, I'd probably be on the safe side and tag it instead of deleting, that way I have two admin's opinions on the subject. If the second admin contests it, it's a sign that the speedy is not so obvious, but then there's no problem, as a PROD after that would be extremely likely to achieve success without any controversy that my speedy would cause. Anyway, trying for the speedy gives less problems than trying a PROD.

 * Have you found ways to deal with undesirable content apart from the various deletion methods?

Well, past revisions can always be restored and the undesirable content can always be substituted (even a stub is good), without needing to go through actual deletion. But when the title and/or subject of the article is something that doesn't merit having an article (i.e. Vanity, nn articles or just plain nonsense) deletion is the only alternative.

To do
Mainspace--Article talk edits: Much much too low at this time (6). This needs to increase at the very least to 100 preferably over 200+. Edit more articles, typo, clean up, wikify and always explain or suggest changes on the article talk page. Comment on articles that you are interested in.

User talk needs to increase this will happen when you begin spreading edits out more.

Wikipedia edits: At 440 right now. Participate in WP:RFA ,
 * Suggestions--Participate in WP:RFA, AfD, CfC, IfD, TfD
 * WP:AIV when you list there be sure that test have been placed on the talk page.

Always leave edit summaries. If you need it there is a user script to force that.

Your edit history is good but work just a bit more on article talk edits.

 * I am not especially concerned with edit count but rather the scope of the edits. So far you have 29 talk edits. You can comment on articles you have interest in and new articles and the talk edits will build. Please look at the Rfa comments to see the importance that is attached to it.-- Dakota ~ 00:39, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Wow, 29 is very low, I hadn't realized that. Finding articles that need help (content disputes, POV issues, OR issues) and giving input on the talk page is a great way to demonstrate your depth of experience as an editor (and it helps the articles, too).  Friday (talk) 15:58, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

 * The question is that how can I contribute to a content dispute that I know nothing about? And how could I find a POV issue that needs people commenting?  F e  tofs  Hello! 20:55, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, sometimes you can't. But, anyone who understands WP:V and WP:NOR  may be able to help in some situations, regardless of knowledge of the specific topic of the article.  I sometimes find articles that are in dispute by looking at WP:AN, WP:AN/I, recent changes, or people's talk pages.  If you find edit warring or other problems, try to help resolve the issue on the talk page.  Friday (talk) 19:22, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, my first try at trying to solve an issue is at Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2006-04-27_Elo_rating_system. I'd never think solving disputes would be so remarkably hard, and it's a very simple one.  F e  tofs  Hello! 22:49, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism on article history page
In one of the edit summaries, not sure how to fix it. Ernest the Sheep (talk) 05:16, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it just stays there. It's the history, after all, of all edits. -- Klein zach  07:50, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes. The vandal is you. You go around changing articles about New Zealanders to turn them into Australians. Frances Alda was born in New Zealand, and there is no record of her ever being an Australian. Jessica Watson, for example has two New Zealand parents, has a New Zealand passport, but was born in Australia. Therefore she IS an Australian, just as Frances Alda WAS a New Zealander. Wallie (talk) 08:47, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

A New Zealander
Why is it that many articles with people born in New Zealand are suddenly changed to being "Australian". In this case, this article says that she is a New Zealander in all languages other than the English one. It does have to be said that a certain person does go around changing articles in this way, and then calls people who change them back "vandals". (see above) Wallie (talk) 05:09, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

 * In my edit Frances Alda is described as being New Zealand/Australian, which I would suggest is a fair compromise based on the facts. If you have any other information that would imply otherwise feel free to present it. As for the other articles in different languages you refer to, I would suggest they are based on previous versions of the English article, or other slightly biased articles such as the one on the nzedge website mentioned in external links. Ernest the Sheep (talk) 09:55, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

 * No. Alda is widely known as a New Zealander only. She does not even have any Australian relatives! It is like calling Jessica Watson a New Zealander, or an Australian/New Zealander. Jessica continues to hold a New Zealand passport and nearly all her relatives are New Zealanders. However, she states she is 100 percent Australian and New Zealanders accept that. In the same way, Frances Alda always said she was a New Zealander.

 * You seem to have something against New Zealand. Unfortunately by being persistant like you are, the truth is often distorted.

 * As far as the non English language articles are concerned, they are in no way biased. The NZedge articles are written in English anyway. Wallie (talk) 09:57, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I don't quite follow -what is your point? The description of Alda as being New Zealand/Australian would appear to be an accurate reflection on her life story, she did only live in NZ to the age of one (it could even be argued that she was NZ/AUS/USA as I believe she later become a US citizen). If you have evidence that would suggest that she should be referred to as a NZer only, then feel free to present it here. The New Zealand/Australian description is supported in the links provided at the end of the main article. Ernest the Sheep (talk) 21:15, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

If she moved to Australia at the age of one and lived there most of her life, standard practice here on Wikipedia seems to be to call her New Zealander-Australian, or New Zealand born Australian. Changing something like that backwards and forwards constitutes an edit war if it occurs more than three times in 24 hours, but it is not vandalism under Wikipedia policy. Vandalism is inserting completely unrelated nonsense into an article (gibberish or obscenities), not something you happen to disagree with. You have no authority to call him a vandal, regardless of how much you disagree with him. Mike Hayes (talk) 22:32, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Cerebral hemorrage = stroke
From the article: She died of a stroke (some sources cite cerebral hemorrhage). A cerebral hemorrage is a type of stroke, so I don't think the text in parentheses is needed. We should say either "she died of a stroke" or "she died of a cerebral hemorrage" but no need to say both. I've revised it.

From Wikipedia: "Intracerebral bleeds are the second most common cause of stroke" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracerebral_hemorrhage#Causes

From WebMD: "A brain hemorrhage is a type of stroke" https://www.webmd.com/brain/brain-hemorrhage-bleeding-causes-symptoms-treatments#1

Tagging
My impression, though it's not my area, is that David Moore has written extensively on this (eg for Journal of the North Staffordshire Railway Study Group). Are you saying that his info is unreliable, or otherwise unacceptable? Bob aka Linuxlad 22:56, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree completely. People such as David Moore and volunteers at the CVR such as myself do not need sources - we know about these things!

Aidan Croft 23:28, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Well that's probably a slight overstatement - but if you produce a publication which achieves a measure of circulation in the area, and amongst those interested, which I presume JNSRS does, then I'd have thought that counted as an adequately-reviewed source. Bob aka Linuxlad 00:14, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes. I apologise for being overly excited there!

Aidan Croft 12:05, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Primary Sources Tag Explanation
Placing a primary sources tag on an article does not imply any intentional desire to create an un-encyclopedic entry or that the sources are inaccurate. It does say the encyclopedic content of the article would be greatly improved by the addition of reference.

Verifiability
The three core content policies of Wikipedia are Verifiability, No original research and Neutral point of view, In general primary sources are created at or near the time being studied, often by the people being studied, and so provide a good foundation for beginning to building an article. But primary sources are by definition often orginal research and due to conflict of interest concerns may not be written from a neutral point of view.

Which articles still need verifying as per August-2014 notice? I have added a number since then, is this enough?

No original research and Neutral point of view
The addition of Secondary sources which are usually based on primary sources and other secondary sources by a third party who is not connected to the source, provides for a more neutral point of view and being based on the combined research of others would not be orginal research. Here you see that the addition of secondary sources assists the editor to write (and readers to verify) an article that meets all three core content policies of Wikipedia.

Notability
Additionally, an article must meet a minimum threshold of notability in order for it to remain on Wikipedia. One of the Rationale for requiring a level of notability is that a in order to have a verifiable article, a topic must be notable enough that the information about it will have been researched, checked, and evaluated through publication in independent reliable sources. Everyday Multiple articles are proposed and considered for deletion per Deletion policy an article that is not clearly notable is not likely to survive the deletion process. Keeping in mind that the burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. Any material that is challenged or likely to be challenged needs a reliable source, which should be cited in the article. If an article topic has no reliable, third-party sources, Wikipedia should not have an article on it. Jeepday 16:32, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Introduction to calculus - lesson 1

Welcome to Lesson 1: Introduction to Algebra

Outline
This lesson aims to provide an introduction to basic algebra. After completing this lesson, you will be able to solve simple algebraic equations using addition and subtraction. Furthermore, you will have a basic understanding of the importance of algebra as the basis for all of mathematics.

Lesson
The objective of algebra is to be able to apply basic properties of mathematics to an equation, in order to obtain a useful result. Believe it or not, you have already solved many algebraic equations:

$$1 + 1 = x$$

Everybody knows that the value of $$ x $$ is $$ 2 $$. In order to find the value of $$ x $$, all you did was use basic addition to combine the two $$ 1 $$'s on the left-hand side of the equals sign. That's all there is to basic algebra. We want to develop methods for manipulating equations in order to solve for a variable, such as $$ x $$.

The symbol $$ x $$ simply represents something that is unknown. When we initially look at the equation $$ 1 + 1 = x $$, we do not know what the value of $$ x $$ is. Again, the point of algebra is to figure out what the value of this unknown symbol is. Since the value of $$ x $$ can vary from equation to equation, $$ x $$ is referred to as a variable.

Let's look at an example of an equation that you may be unfamiliar with:

$$ 1 + x = 2 $$

It would appear that our basic mathematical methods (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division) cannot be applied to solve this equation, and discover the value of $$ x $$. However, one of the most important properties of an algebraic equation is that you can do anything to the equation, as long as you do the same thing to both sides of the equation. What this means for our current equation, is that we can start performing operations on both sides of the equation in hopes that we can put the equation in a form where $$ x $$ is by itself on one side of the equation, and the value of $$ x $$ is on the other side of the equals sign.

In order to solve the current equation, we need to figure out how to get $$ x $$ by itself. If we subtract $$ 1 $$ from the left-hand side, we can see that, $$ 1 + x - 1 $$, will leave us with $$ x $$ on the left of the equals sign. Remember, that if we subtract $$ 1 $$ from the left-side, we must do the same on the right side. If we don't remember to do this, the equals sign doesn't have any meaning, because the two sides are no longer the same. So, subtracting $$ 1 $$ from both sides leaves us with:

$$ 1 + x - 1 = 2 - 1 $$

We are now able to perform our basic mathematical methods, namely subtraction, to simplify each side of the equation:

$$ x = 1 $$

We now have a value for $$ x $$, and thus have solved the algebraic equation for $$ x $$.

You will notice that this is the only value for $$ x $$ that will cause this equation to be true. This is a very powerful result, and is the basis for all mathematics. I hope you can see how algebraic equations can become very complicated, yet manageable. In the next lesson, I will show how multiplication and division can be involved in solving algebraic equations, in much the same way as addition and subtraction. Sample problems and solutions will follow on the course's website.

Wow, KKS. Good job! Moonlightembrace 07:40, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

What are the specific goals of the "simplification process" to be performed on the english text? Will the simplified text be stripped down to single-clause sentences, or will the vocabulary be simplified?

What exactly is intended here? I'd love to assist in any way possible. I've never wiki'ed before, though.

-KKS

Oh, I see.
I just did a diff on the 2 most recent versions and it was pretty clear what is being done. Cool.

-KKS

I gave it a go.
I gave it the "old college try". I hope my efforts are sufficient.

-KKS

Added next 3 paragraphs
My translation skills are poor at this point, but I'm eager to help with the english. Where will this be archived since the stated goal is to save server space?

Thanks,

Irish radio
I've never heard of this individual, but I just heard him on RTÉ Radio 1. He seems like an ignorant fool. He actually thought he was in Britain here. He told us how we, the Irish, refer to soccer as "football" - actually, in Ireland soccer is soccer; "football" is Football. He then rabbited on about an English game called cricket and how we, the Irish, apparently loved it and knew its rules. Perspective: there are around 20 cricket clubs in Ireland (and it's overwhelmingly played by people with pro-British colonial leanings), and around 3000 GAA clubs in Ireland. Having said that, I got the impression that all of Europe was just like England to this guy. Does he ever research the places he visits?

Wikiversity:Introduction Overhaul Taskforce

Welcome to the taskforce on improving Wikiversity's introductory pages! Please help us in improving Wikiversity - particularly from the perspective of a newcomer. (If you'd like to make suggestions about this taskforce, including its name or scope, please do so on the talk page.)

Aim
This taskforce's aim is to improve the "points of entry" to Wikiversity for the newcomer - from the Main Page, to definitions of and introductions to Wikiversity, to help pages - to make them as clear, concise, and as user-friendly as possible.

Project pages

 * For changes to the Main Page, see: Main page design changes

Pages needing improvement

 * Services - as in "Getting involved", promises much, doesn't deliver. Most links from it don't go anywhere.
 * Help:Contents - needs a facelift more than anything - see Wikipedia's help section, possibly made friendlier and with more obvious tutorials for each section
 * About - or is this page redundant with What is Wikiversity??
 * Guided tour - why does it need to have a lot of text on the page? Wouldn't it be better to have a streamlined system of pages that people can go to for more information on specifics? If they are at a page called "Guided Tour", I think they want a tour. ;-)

 * Community Portal - it's just too confusing <-- This has regular updates from users. Is this mention redundant? Brett Johnston (talk) 11:24, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Ideas
Brainstorm about what needs improvement, and how it could be improved.

(from Colloquium)
 * I agree the main page is in a dire state, and the introductions seem to be a mess. For example, in one place I read that the "course" concept was rejected by the board last year, but when I try to find information about how to structure connected pages, I get back to a page which tells me how to set up a "course" on Wikiversity. The project boilerplate is pedagogically inadequate - multiple examples, tailored to different purposes, are needed for newcomers. I assume there's been a lot of discussion of this, but it's not obvious to me where the discussion is centered. McCormack 17:40, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * On courses, the board's directive was never clear nor clarified, and I honestly think you'd be better off ignoring it - bearing in mind that we're experimenting with what kind of learning model fits best in this wiki format. As for pedagogical templates, I'm with you there - it'd be great to be able to "templatise" (or at least give examples of) how people could go about developing materials. Cormaggio talk 12:23, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

 * The guided tour could be made a better resource for new visitors and we could put some effort into a video presentation that would explain Wikiversity to new participants. --JWSchmidt 18:51, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Supporting Wikiversity participants has some older thoughts about "tracks" for different types of participants that I think are relevant. --JWSchmidt 16:01, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I started Topic:Wikiversity as a content development project where learning resources about Wikiversity are planned, organized and developed.

Initiatives

 * Adding content tutorial - a (fledgling) tutorial about adding content. See Category:Wikiversity tutorials
 * Portal:Wikiversity - a guide to the Wikiversity namespace

Participants
Sign here if you would like to contribute to this project, and perhaps give a brief account of why you are here.

 * Cormaggio talk 19:52, 18 April 2007 (UTC) - I think our whole introduction is very messy, unecessarily overlapping in parts and chronically deficient in others. Overall, I don't think we're helping newcomers enough to get a sense of what Wikiversity is, and how they can use it and really get involved. I'd like our introduction section (for want of a better phrase) to be a well-presented, clear introduction to the project and an efficient funnel targeted at people's specific needs. If we had this, I think a lot more people would be getting involved in Wikiversity. Cormaggio talk 12:16, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * CQ 15:23, 20 April 2007 (UTC) - I think we should add the About page to the worklist. Also we should have an entry path for those learning English for the first time.
 * About is already there. :-) Increasing access for non-native speakers is also a good idea - thanks! Cormaggio talk 15:25, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * McCormack 16:15, 4 May 2007 (UTC) We need to say very clearly what makes Wikiversity different, and what makes it an experience that adds value to education rather than being just another wiki. Differences (starting to think):
 * exceptions to NPOV in the form of original content, but with disclosures (note: I think the disclosure system needs combining with peer review requests, templates with categorisation; needs clarification and depth).
 * interactive widgets (e.g. Rayc's drop-boxes - perhaps revise a bit - for simple reveal/hide operations; the quiz extension; memorize? more?
 * structural metaphors (faculty/school/etc) combined with much tighter category system than Wikipedia
 * molecular strucure of basic components - i.e. multiple-page projects rather than single-page articles; note that we need to provide greater help as regards setting up various types of molecule.
 * cohesion with OER projects such as OER commons (e.g. an automated feed to OER commons which sends over projects marked as mature; note that we need info box templates with OER commons metadata that can be attached to mature projects. Needs a bit of programming, perhaps.
 * That's a great brainstorm/wishlist - and there's a lot more here than simply the introduction section (which is what I hope this project will address). Kinda following on from my recent reply to you on the Colloquium, what do you think of having a series of pages on "Developing Wikiversity", "Defining Wikiversity", "Understanding Wikiversity", "Contributing to Wikiversity", which would integrate with pages on Wikiversity outreach, and the welcome/introduction section? I think there are several projects here and perhaps they need to be organised by theme in order to attract more participation (potentially from the main page). Thoughts? (Keep 'em coming!) Cormaggio talk 11:57, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

 * PeterMG 05:05, 18 May 2007 (UTC) - The entry pages are apparently symptomatic of an overall organisation dysfunction. I posted an incomplete proposal on the talk page to address the issue holistically. My gripe is having the school namespace, but poluting the topic with school departments.

Téa Mutonji

Téa Mutonji is a Canadian writer and poet, whose debut short story collection Shut Up You're Pretty was published in 2019.

Early life
Born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mutonji came to Canada with her family when she was young and grew up in the Scarborough district of Toronto and in Oshawa. While living in Scarborough, she worked in the service industry. She then studied media studies and creative writing at the University of Toronto Scarborough, and planned to go to law school when she was selected as the first writer to be published by VS. Books, Vivek Shraya's new Arsenal Pulp Press imprint for emerging writers of colour.

Works
Shut Up You're Pretty, published in 2019, is a collection of linked short stories about a young girl's coming of age in Scarborough's Galloway neighbourhood. The novel centers around Loli and her experiences, which include, her moving from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Canada, her sexual experiences, her grappling with gender roles, and issues revolving around poverty and consent. Mutonji wrote the novel in part to counter negative stereotypes of the neighbourhood with a narrative that depicted some of her own more positive experiences of having lived there.

Currently, Mutonji is working on an anthology with Adrian De Leon and Natasha Ramoutar. The anthology focuses on Scarborough writing.

Themes
In an interview with CityNews, Mutonji stated that she writes from an "activist lens".

Mutonji describes that being called pretty is not a compliment. It is offensive because it prioritizes women’s physical appearance and overshadows every other attribute a woman can be. Instead, Mutonji describes a shift that is happening where women demand that their character is looked at first.

Accolades
Mutonji has received several major awards for her work, including:

 * 2020 Edmund White Award for debut fiction for Shut Up You're Pretty.
 * 2020 Trillium Book Award for Shut Up You're Pretty.

She was also named a finalist for the 2019 Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize. In 2017, the Ontario Book Publishers Organization named Mutonji an emerging writer of the year.

In 2023 she was named one of the ten winners of the Journey Prize, in a special edition devoted to Black Canadian writers.

Shut Up You're Pretty was selected for the 2024 edition of Canada Reads, where it was defended by actress Kudakwashe Rutendo.

There are some spurious and unsubstantiated claims in the opening paragraph of this article. The writer suggests that the Pogues moved away from Irish traditional music - not so. They may have incorporated influences from further afield, but traditional song-writing and instrumentation remained central to their sound/ideology. Remember, they were never a trad band through and through in the first place. Furthermore, to suggest that London only became a focus of Shane's writing with "Peace & Love" is laughable - the first album opens with "Transmetropolitan" and contains "Dark Streets of London". "The Old Main Drag","Rainy Night In Soho", "Lullaby of London" - all precede "P&L". The Pogues were always quintessentially London-Irish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 11:30, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Introduction to Art

Some thoughts about the organization of this text:

Since this book is primarily about art in a visual medium, should it be retititled "Visual Art" or perhaps even more narrowly focused?

Also, since the history of visual art and the techniques of visual art are each such vast subjects, should they not be split into separate books?

Is the focus to be more on "fine" or "commercial" art?

There are whole sections of "Visual Art" that are left out in the rough outline, such as engraving, woodcuts, and printmaking generally.

Has anyone considered the image requirements such a project will really require? Most art books I have read have at least hundreds of images in them, and this one seems to require many thousands. How will so many images be sourced?

I realize that a lot of these questions might seem like splitting hairs, but I think that the scope of the project should be more clearly outlined. Additionally, I think that the present scope of this text is too wide, and might be off-putting to potential authors.

My idea is to split this book into several smaller, more easily managable topics, rather than have the single omnibus of "Art".Some suggestions for splitting the single subject into more manageable chunks would be along these lines:
 * A History of the Visual Arts
 * The Techniques of Fine Art
 * The Techniques of Graphic Art (or Commercial Art)
 * Other refinements as necessary. (e.g. "A History of Fine Art Techniques from the Middle Ages Through the Present")

--Chuck Hoffmann 17:56, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * It seems to me that what you have here is the foundation for an "Art 101". Other people are delving in-depth into individual works.  You have the makings of a good introduction to those more in-depth works.

--<IP_ADDRESS> 11:16, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

a couple of thoughts: as an art appreciation teacher, I like the idea of an "Art 101" resource designed to introduce readers to what art is, various art media/methods, a basic overview of art history, etc. Very useful for art history/art appreciation students & people who just love art & want to expand their knowledge. Splitting the book as Chuck Hoffman suggests seems reasonable for the purposes of managability, but might not result in a single resource for people who want a very basic intro to the visual arts, art appreciation, etc. Also, as a writer mentions later, it seems to me that it would be a bit tragic if this turned into just a manual of techniques for artists, though such a manual should certainly exist! Anyway, I'm not sure what the solution is in terms of whether to split this work into smaller books or keep as a broad overview of the visual arts. However, in defense of the latter, following is how I organize my art appreciation classes (I've also seen an organization like this in many art appreciation textbooks) -- it is similar to the organization you have so far, but with some key differences & condensations. Maybe useful...? Anyway, it looks really promising & I'll try to add some material to the sections that already exist as time permits. --robotkultur 28 Jan 2005
 * Introduction (organization of the course(book); what is art; how art is used, enjoyed, and displayed; museums and galleries)
 * The Artist (who makes art; the role of the artist in different cultures; the creative process)
 * Media/Methods (basic overview of media/methods -- similar to the list that already exists, but the stuff in appendix B could easily be incorporated into a media/methods chapter)
 * Elements of art (line, shape, color, texture, etc.; stylistic categories)
 * Methodologies for Examining art (formal analysis, social/cultural analysis, biographical analysis, feminism, psychoanalysis, etc.)
 * Art History (very basic overview -- Paleolithic/Antiquity/Medieval/Renaissance/Modern/Contemporary)

re: categorisation of comics
As you noted, comics aren't a method of drawing, they're a method of representing the flow of time via static art, and you have drawn comics, painted comics, photo comics etc. Though AFAIK, noone's ever done it, theoretically you could probably even have sculpture comics.

Comics are underrepresented in art texts and it would be a shame to leave that section out. I think probably the best place for the comics section is linked from the representative art section. I probably wouldn't leave the link on the master contents page though, unless you intend to have a number of subitems under representative art. --<IP_ADDRESS> 08:26, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * In a broad but real sense much of the Disney park experience is a comic in sculpture form, as are wax museums and similar displays. :)--R Hole Jr 00:03, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * I'm not familiar with Disney park or wax museums in detail, but if the sculptures tell a sequential story then they could probably loosely be called comics, though we'd probably be breaking new ground in doing so...

--<IP_ADDRESS> 11:16, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The concept of sculpture that portrays a linear narrative is not new, early babylonian artists worked mainly in this form. It is usually refered to as a 'tableux' in the round or a 'frieze' in relief. Not wishing to be too much of a negative contributor I would like to say that there is far more information here if you simply be more precise in the language that you use. Comic means 'funny', most comics that we think of (graphic novels) are drawn as carcature, or as bon desiné in the form of storyboards (a technique also used for film, video, animation and even graphic design). there is a massive area of british art history that revolves around caricature and political satire by artists such as William Hogarth. As for cartoon, it simply means preliminary drawing or sketch, see Leonardo Da Vinci's Cartoon for the madona and child. Disney's theme parks are fine examples of theatre design.

<IP_ADDRESS> 01:09, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

The late great Will Eisner tried to retitle the art of "Comics" as Sequential Art. However, comics theorist Scott McCloud in his 1990 graphic novel Understanding Comics defined the art form again as Comics: Juxtaposed pictorial and other images in deliberate sequence, intended to convey information and/or to produce an aesthetic response in the viewer. I tend to disagree with the "deliberate" part as experimental Dada-esque comics such as 5 Card Nancy (invented by McCloud himself!) show that random sequencing is equally as valid. Also, comics theorist Neil Cohn and others would argue that they would rather bring respect to the word Comics than find a respected word to bring to the artform. I tend to agree.

As for the history of comics, again I sight McCloud and UC: Comics have a history that can be traced to the pre-Columbian picture manuscript "Ocelot's Claw", the Bayeux Tapestry detailing the Norman Conquest, and even some Egyptian Hieroglyphics such as the one he sights from Menna's tomb.

As for the future of comics, I myself am building 3D comics in virtual space using the MUVE platform of Second Life. In the classroom my students are working on "Site Specific Comics": installation works that bring a narrative to a place, about that place, while in effect changing it.--Anthony 19:25, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

re: the scope and general TOC of this text
I would agree that if it's only covering visual arts it should be renamed to reflect that, so that performing or audio arts texts could be added elsewhere. I'm also rather confused from the layout of the TOC whether this is primarily intended as a how-to/method guide (for artists) or a history/introduction guide (for viewers). There's use for both of course. I'm just not sure of the intent of the organizer. Any enlightenment would be appreciated, so I don't head off in an unintended direction. --R Hole Jr 00:03, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Isn't this something we just decide: what we want this book to be? I agree that we need to make some serious decisions about what this is going to be. I'd be most interesting in turning what we've got into a manual on techniques (Fine and Commercial are so similar when it comes to technique I hate to separate them). Maybe an introduction to developing techniques rather than a dictionary of techniques? In this context art history could fit in as an artistic discipline. Then we would only be responsible for laying a groundwork for further investigation instead of actually trying to present any cohesive history of art.

--Matt S 11:07, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Seems to me that this is already headed in the direction of an overview for an Art Appreciation class and would be best to continue in that direction. Although it certainly needs more sections, keeping them brief, with the addition of a good bib at the end of each section would also be really helpful to both the student as well as the general reader. I plan on doing some writing myself on one or two of the sections, hopefully in the next couple of days. LeighBdswagger 08:28, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Fine & Commercial Art?
I am really suprised to see people still using the old labels for art school courses Fine Art and Commercial Art. I thought these were put to bed in the early sixties. Most people refer to them as Visual art now - it avoids that weird critic driven attempt to add expensive sounding mystique. Visual art by itself is adequate to describe contemporary art, painting, sculpture, and all the usual suspects (fashion, textiles, film, video, animation, ceramics (please dont call it pottery) even performance). all of the above are comercial, how else could you make a living from them? If you really need to make a distinction between the arts that are done for exhibition and those done for some commercial application (which in my experience tend to merge anyway) just call them by their names, design, product design, illustration, typography, calligraphy etc.

sorry to go off on one at my first visit, just seem to spend a lot of my time dealing with this stuff. the wikibook is a fantastic idea and the TOC looks like a really good start. remember to try and keep creative yourself while writing it.

Oh yes i am going to change the word Sculpting to sculpture in the TOC, sculpting is a dubious present participal for sculpture and as such it doesn't work as a descriptive for the activity 'Sculpture'. Someone is a sculptor they work in the discipline of sculpture when they make something they sculpt it can then be said to be sculpted they could be said to be sculpting at any particular moment - but more likely would use the description that fits the activity i.e. carving or modelling

<IP_ADDRESS> 01:47, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Maybe we can advertise for help in various art fourms such as conceptart.org, gfxartist.com, deviantart.com and others. I'm sure that conceptart would love to help write an "everything visual arts" book.

I started a book Art_Tutorials which is trying to be strictly tutorials, tips, techniques, and lessons. Someone posted in my book that it should be merged with this one. After reviewing this book, I don't think it should. This book states that it will eventually have lessons or something of the sort, but with the actual direction of the book, i don't think it should. I don't think a tutorials book needs a section on "What is art" nor an overview of each medium as a main point. The intro also states that this book itself is only an overview book. I think there needs to be something more indepth, which Art_Tutorials was intended to become. One final arguement... the name of this book is ART. Perhaps if it sticks to its original mission it needs a rename and to be replaced with a book that is in fact an Arts 101 course type book. I'm not seeing any lessons/tutorials yet on this book. Can we just drop that and keep it as a Arts 101 type book?

Like someone stated up above, this book seems like a great Art 101 in the making, and I think having tutorials would just clutter it up. While history is somewhat important while learning skills, the two should be separate from a text book standpoint. Perhaps this book can focus more on introductory topics, and the Art_Tutorials book can stick to tutorials. Anythoughts? Feel free to post in the Art_Tutorials discussion page too. --Blainegarrett 15:20, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

A tutorial, as often seen on the internet, is a walk through of sorts. A how-to guide. A text like this one has the potential to be a thorough Introduction to Art, like many University or College students receive in their first year (or Foundation level) of classes. It should therefore, include in-depth coverage of methods, elements and principles, critical evaluation, and contemporary issues both formal and conceptual.

It may make sense to rename it "Introduction to Visual Art" unless audio, performing, film or otherwise will be covered.

I do however think these sections: How to Make a Living Practical Approach for the Artist - Legalities Learning copyrights, attribution laws, contractual arrangements. - Finer points for Contemporary Fine Artists – Should be moved to their own chapter and not places soley under 2D.

Also, since there is an Art History Wiki Book started I think it would make more sense to point and add, when necessary, to it rather than write one here. Unless of course it would be an Intro or Survey type section (again like most Universities offer to freshman). --Anthony Fontana 19:26, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Per WP:GA#Immediate_failures, that's an immediate failure of GA review..? As of 2 December 2019, the article is tagged (since June 2019) for two issues:
 * 1) This article's lead section may be too long for the length of the article. (June 2019)
 * 2) This article contains content that is written like an advertisement. (June 2019)
 * In checking cleanup banner issue #2, a quick look seemed to me that the article leans on the editorialized side—the lead contains the sentence, Despite its open enrollment, the school consistently produces high test scores and National Merit Semifinalists and Finalists.

 * Shrinkydinks, Aircorn, I don't know how I missed the original ping, but having taken a look at the article and the editing history of both nominator and reviewer, my inclination is to close this nomination as unsuccessful. Although it was nominated to be a GA the day before another editor placed the problem templates on it, the nominator has never dealt with them, and indeed has only edited once (in August) since the day after the nomination was made. There are verifiability issues as well, with sections being completely unsourced; the nominator is gone, the reviewer has not actually done any part of the review, and hasn't edited on Wikipedia since the end of November, and presumably hasn't even logged on or they would have seen Aircorn's ping, so I think they've had their chance. Unless Aircorn objects, I plan to close this in 24 hours. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:14, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
 * BlueMoonset: that sounds reasonable! -Shrinkydinks (talk) 04:35, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree, with an entire unsourced section, valid cleanup banners not addressed for months, and claims in the lead not supported by body text or sources, I think this can be an easy quick fail. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:37, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
 * The nomination has been closed as failed/not listed. Thanks to David Eppstein and Shrinkydinks for concurring in this decision. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:33, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Dinah Sheridan

Birth name
Her birth name is Dinah Nadyejda Mec, not Dinah Nadyejda Ginsburg, according to both BFI Screenonline www.screenonline.org.uk/people/id/450827/index.html and her official website www.dinahsheridan.co.uk/biography.html genesee.gbh (talk) 18:57, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * This is also the birth name reported in her BBC obituary - the name was pronounced "mess" which she changed so as not to give newspaper critics any ammunition. However search sites don't find a birth entry for 1920-1921 for Dinah Nadyejda Mec, and do for Dinah Nadyejda Ginsburg, which is  the name reported on the IMDB. -- Arwel Parry (talk) 18:20, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
 * The data on IMDb is based on the birth index. Sheridan's obits in The Times and The Guardian are reporting Ginsburg as her birth name also. Crisso (talk) 20:05, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

 * But this artice in The Guardian says it's Mec, as does the Telegraph. I would believe BFI - the newspapers may have gotten the wrong name from Wikipedia! Certainly IMDb is not reliable, as it is a crowsourced resource. Plus, the book that was cited in the article to "prove" that the name was Ginsburg appears to be a sham reference. I'm leaning toward "Mec", especially as Sheridan was quoted expaining the name change; but I don't think we can be certain yet. Keep digging! -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:33, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Isn't the birth index definitive? Go to ancestry.com and search for the Ginsburg name. You'll get a match. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 20:04, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

 * See this. I agree that the birth index is at least persuasive. I am still troubled by the various important references to Mec, though. If you know how to cite the birth correctly, please go ahead. It was previously cited incorrectly in the article. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:06, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

 * HOWEVER: her birth name is registered as Dinah N[adyejda]. Ginsburg at the GRO (General Registry Office) of Births in England and Wales (see http://www.findmypast.co.uk), which is official, and far more reliable than any of the sources above. Quis separabit?  19:12, 17 February 2013 (UTC) PS: this is the extract of her birth registration: Birth record transcript Name: GINSBURG, Dinah N Registration district: [?] Barnet County: Middlesex Year of registration: 1920 Quarter of registration: Jul-Aug-Sep Mother's maiden name: Everth Volume no:[?]3A Page no:[?]902  Quis separabit?  19:26, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Dinah Sheridan's father was born James Mec in 1893. Following the death of his father c 1915, James took the name of Ginsburg from his uncle Moshe Ginsburg. When Dinah was born in 1920 she was registered with that name. Historical context is an influencing factor. The pogroms in eastern Europe, revolution in Russia, war with Germany and the rise of anti-semitism were key issues in this period. Dinah was on record regarding the story of her wanting to avoid a name that sounded like 'mess' in English (Mec) so both are true. Caspardietrich (talk) 10:40, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Teletraffic engineering/How is telephony traffic simulated

Module by: Nomfundo N. Dlamini

Summary
Telephone networks are very large and complex networks. This is due to the technological development and the ever demanding requirement for multiple services that these networks need to support. This poses a need to forecast the behavior of a network that should a certain condition prevail that a specific remedy be available. This can only be done by simulation, which is a modeling tool in great use today. It is an economic in a way that financially and chronologically represents the system's traffic behavior. By building a model, the computing power of the simulation is accessible. Not only is it accessible, there is also an increasing availability of low cost computer hardware and the development of specialized powerful and flexible simulation languages contributes the formation of a simulation for a preferred modelling technique.

What is simulation?
Simulation can be defined as the imitation of a system or environment in order to predict the actual behavior. In telecommunication systems, it is the most quantitative modelling technique used and its purpose is to model large, complex stochastic systems for forecasting or performance measurement purposes. Simulation is a cost-effective way of pre-testing proposed systems, plans, or policies before incurring the expense of prototypes, field tests, or actual implementations

Network traffic simulation usually follows the following four steps

 * Modelling the system as a dynamic stochastic (i.e. random) process
 * Generation of the realizations of this stochastic process
 * Measurement of Simulation data
 * Analysis of output data

How is telephony traffic simulated?
Telephony traffic is simulated by using two simulation methods

 * 1) Discrete/Discrete event simulations (next event approach)
 * 2) Continuous simulations (fixed time increment approach)

Discrete simulations
Discrete simulations are due to occurrence of an event. The system is dynamic and stochastic. It contains a number of states, modelled using a set of variables. A change in value of variables represents an event and the system's state changes. State equations are used in the representation of discrete simulations. The dynamic nature of the system gives it the characteristic of being in motion, thus constantly changing its position.

When designing a discrete system, there has to be an object and movement of the object through the system. The object may possess attribute values and may interact other certain conditions, leading to an event taking place which in turn changes the state of the system. Since a discrete simulation model may contain contain different objects which in turn lead to different events, a scheduler has to be used. A scheduler performs the complex task of keeping track of all objects and scheduling all events.An example of a discrete simulation model is a queueing system consisting of one server and one queue. Consider customers paying at a supermarkert till being served by the shop attendant. The assumption made is that they stand in a queue and are served by shop attendant at some specifired service time distribution and then leave system.Further, if two events are defined, an arrival and a departure event, also two state variables (the length of the queue and whether the server is idle or busy) we can draw up a possible sequence of events and system state changes.

Example  Table 1: Sequence of events for a simple queueing system (adopted from ).

Continous simulations
These are usually employed when state variables of the system change continuously. There is a mechanism to advance time in fixed increments. Simulation models contain one or more state equations which attempt to model variations in the state of the system over time. The equations are differential equations that track the system with reference to time.

Exercise
What type of traffic simulation model would you classify an SMS service? Support your answer.

The SMS service has the ability to queue during blocking in the network. So it is a discrete simulation model.

Implementation and applications of Simulations
Simulations of a telecommunications system are usually implemented in a computer program. The program can be written in a simulation-specific language or in a general-purpose language. Simulation-specific languages such as OPNET or GPSS are rapid for development. However, sometimes the flexibility of a general purpose language may be preferred --- a well-known example is the ns-2 simulator ns-2 written in C++. There are many applications that can make use of simulation as an analytical tool. While simulation does require extensive resources, it is still a relatively cost-effective method of pre-testing potential systems.It helps further in confirming and verifying the performance of implemented systems.

Advantages
Simulations models come with a lot of advantages which are stated as follows.
 * Simulation modelling may be applied to the analysis of a very wide variety of systems. Most complex, real-world systems with significant random elements cannot be accurately described by a mathematical model, which can be evaluated analytically. Simulation is often the only type of investigation possible.
 * Simulation modelling allows the detailed study of the interactions between system components. It allows the manager or analyst to make detailed decisions about the system and then judge the impact and consequences of these decisions. The model may be used for detailed sensitivity analyses to decide which controllable variables have the greatest impact on system performance.
 * Alternative system designs or operating policies can be compared to estimate the system performance. Thus we can choose the best design.
 * Simulation models and the principles of the simulation technique are often easy to understand. It is also easier to convince the non-simulation expert of the validity of the model. The simulation approach encourages active participation by management and operating staff in the modelling exercise.
 * The process of building a simulation model may provide valuable insight and understanding about the system characteristics and how it operates. The value of this advantage is often underestimated.

Disadvantages
Since simulations are merely a way of predicting the network performance, problems are bound to arise since this is not a real case scenario. What follows are some of the problems that may be encountered when running simulations.
 * Selecting the correct level of detail (or level of abstraction) for a simulation is a difficult problem. Too little detail can produce simulations that are misleading or incorrect, but adding detail requires time to implement, debug, and later change. Furthermore, it slows down simulation and can be a distraction from the research problem at hand.
 * Running effective simulations comes with experience. This means it might actually take longer to get the correct results which are a through reflection of the network performance.
 * Accurate simulation model development requires extensive resources.

Input Data
Simulation models are generated from a set of data taken from a stochastic system. It is necessary to check that the data is statistically valid by fitting a statistical distribution and then testing the significance of such a fit. Further, as with any modelling process, the input data's accuracy must be checked and any outliers must be removed.

Output Data
When a simulation has been completed, the data needs to be analysed. The simulation's output data will only produce a likely estimate of real-world events. Methods to increase the accuracy of output data include: repeatedly performing simulations and comparing results, dividing events into batches and processing them individually, and checking that the results of simulations conducted in adjacent time periods “connect” to produce a coherent holistic view of the system.

Random numbers
As most systems involve stochastic processes, simulations frequently make use of random number generators to create input data which approximates the random nature of real-world events. Computer generated [random numbers] are usually not random in the strictest sense, as they are calculated using a set of equations. Such numbers are known as pseudo-random numbers. When making use of pseudo-random numbers the analyst must make certain that the true randomness of the numbers is checked. If the numbers are found not to behave in a sufficiently random fashion, another generation technique must be found. Random numbers for the simulation are created by a random number generator.

National Route 239 (Costa Rica)

National Secondary Route 239, is a road in Costa Rica between Ciudad Colón, San José province and Parrita, Puntarenas province. It is the main access road of the Puriscal canton of San José province. From Puriscal to Parrita, the road is dirt and gravel.

Description
In San José province the route covers Puriscal canton (Santiago, Mercedes Sur, San Antonio, Chires districts), Mora canton (Colón, Guayabo, Jaris, Quitirrisí districts).

History
Received mayor improvements in 2019, where gabion walls were constructed near Puriscal downtown to stabilize the sides of the road, similar work was done at Route 317.

On October 4, 2019, the central government announced plans to invest CRC ₡7,083,000,000 to pave with asphalt the 51.89 km gravel road between Puriscal and Parrita, due to its importance as an alternative route from the Greater Metropolitan Area to the Pacific. For forty five years, a local committee asked for this work to be done. Works will start in April 2020, with the first 10 kilometers awarded to a private contractor.

This route was severely damaged in November 2020 due to the indirect effects of Hurricane Eta.

| Kitchen tools

The potato ricer can be visualized as a very large garlic press. It is used in the preparation of mashed potatoes. After the potatoes have been slightly overcooked and chopped up, pass them through the potato-ricer to reduce them to a smooth purée. After potatoes are "riced," it is common to then mix butter, milk, or cream, according to preference.

Talk:Introduction to Paleoanthropology

Template for chapters
==HEAD==

Intro

===Sub=== text

-

TOC Suggestions
I think there are enough chapters here that it might be worth breaking them up into units to make the chunks more manageable: background basics, earliest hominids, paleolithic, etc. Then perhaps the interior TOC box could be changed to show only the TOC for that unit, so it's not so long and doesn't break up the layout of the page so much.

If I was comfortable enough with templates to fuss with yours, I'd also go ahead and make the bibliography section, and include your "Class notes" reference. With as much text here as there is, people might expect it to be more finished than it really is; if they can see that it's still a draft being converted from lecture notes, it might ward off problems.

Finally, I think it needs more text, either in chapter 1 or immediately before or after it, that focuses on hominids. Most people probably aren't coming to a book on paleoanthropology to read about genetics, or the history of Darwinism, or linguistics, or whatnot -- they're looking for ''Bones! Fossils! Cave Men! Lucy! Neat Stuff!'' The background stuff is important, but we need to give them a substantial appetizer of the neat stuff first, so that they're willing to keep reading the background before getting to the meat of the book, instead of getting frustrated and wandering off in search of fossils elsewhere. At the very least, we need a good description of what a hominid is and what a hominid isn't, and what a paleoanthropologist does and doesn't study. (Chapter 1 made a start on what a paleoanthropologist does and doesn't study, but then it gets muddled in the following chapters.)--Bedawyn 22:07, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Peer review/Potomac River/archive1

Potomac River
The article for the Potomac River is an overall "good article" but it is missing content in many important areas including the sections on its history and its various tributaries and segments. The article is also lacking cohesiveness throughout. Because the North and South Branches of the Potomac River are intregal parts of the river and the watershed, the editors and contributors have decided to keep these branches as part of the main Potomac River article. For this reason, I've nominated the article to find better ways of weaving these sections into the article more harmoniously. Finally, I've nominated this article as a way to look for other ideas and opinions for improving it to become "featured status". The Potomac River is known as "The Nation's River" and shares an important place in the history of the United States. I look forward to the findings of other editors. --Caponer 21:14, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

 * One issue: why is the non-breaking space use only for kilometers and not miles? Also, per WP:CONTEXT, the years without full dates should not be linked. For WP:FAC, the article requires references (External links by definition are not sources) and inline citations. Thanks, AndyZ 22:12, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

 * The long series of sections with similar names is confusing.
 * If a section is a list, it should be obvious from the TOC
 * The Floattrips(what is that??) table is weird-looking. Isn't the  class sufficient??
 * Circeus 00:33, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Article is probably long enough to warrant a two-paragraph lead.  young  american  (talk) 19:09, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
