Specific fuel consumption.
Armstrong_Siddeley_Snarler has an entry for thrust specific fuel consumption given as 20 lb/lbf/h.

This is incorrect: the units should be lb/(lbf·h) and kg/(kN·h).

I've looked at the help page and tried a few things myself, but so far nothing I've tried has worked. I'd appreciate information on how I can fix the page to use correct units.

Michael F 1967 (talk) 18:13, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * , deep inside Module:Convert/documentation/conversion data (but not in the documentation) we have thrust specific fuel consumption factors "si tsfc" and "tsfc". Then 20 tsfc produces 20 tsfc. The units "kg/(kN·h)" would seem to make more sense. Could the conversion be changed or at least added to convert? StarryGrandma (talk) 18:58, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Thanks for this. I've had another look and it seems that on the page thrust-specific fuel consumption, there are specific fuel consumption figures explicitly (if mistakenly) provided in g/kN/s (which should be g/kN·s). That leads me to think that g/kN·s is the preferred means of expressing the quantity when using SI units in this context. Strange to see something using grams rather than kilograms - but then again, maybe it's to give a conveniently-sized number when using seconds rather than hours.

 * I've just done a bit of searching on-line and I can't find anything to guide me one way or another on this, beyond the Wikipedia page I mention above.

 * In the absence of any other guidance, I'd be inclined to stick with g/kN·s.

 * I was puzzled that thrust specific fuel consumption is listed in the speed section - but having done a bit of scribbling it seems that it's got the dimensions of inverse speed which seems to be what "invert" in the "Extra" column means.

 * (It's odd seeing specific impulse in the speed section, too: kN‑s/kg. But then again, that works out to m/s so yeah, it's in the right place)

 * It seems to me that the sensible thing to do would be to label the various entries for specific impulse and thrust specific fuel consumption with their descriptive names in the table at Module:Convert/documentation/conversion_data so that they might be found easily by a human searching.

 * Is that something I could safely do myself without messing anything up?

 * Michael F 1967 (talk) 20:52, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I think the safest thing to do would be to add the units to Template:Convert/list of units, which is linked from the main documentation page. That page isn't involved in generating the code and is more likely to be found by someone looking for help. StarryGrandma (talk) 23:34, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Or maybe not as easy to find, but I still think it is a safer place. StarryGrandma (talk) 23:39, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Surely kg/(kN·h) is exactly the same as kg/kN/h ? If 120 kg are consumed producing 3 kN for 2 hours, then 120/(3x2) = 120/6 = 20 kg/(kN·h). Also 120/3/2 = 40/2 = 20 kg/kN/h. How can either of these units be considered "incorrect"? --RexxS (talk) 01:39, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Proposed edit
I'd like to propose that an HTML span wrap around the output of this template, so that it can be targeted by user scripts. See T231759 for background, and Special:Diff/913565347 for the proposed edit. Thoughts? --DannyS712 (talk) 21:27, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Currently, for example,  outputs:
 * The proposal is that it would instead output:
 * Apparently this is so the OP could write a script to allow them to suppress certain units. For example, they might see  when viewing the output and not the kilograms stuff. I am not in favor of padding stuff out without seeing a strong need. For the example, the output would be changed from 26 bytes to 64 bytes. Who would benefit from this? Johnuniq (talk) 23:25, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * this isn't for me, but rather for - the benefit would be that scripts can target the text output by the template. Can I ask what draw backs you see from this change? If the concern is about the extra characters, I would suggest that we Don't worry about performance. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 23:30, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * One user wants to see pounds and not kilograms, so all articles should be padded? My attitude would be different if there were a pointer to a widely advertised discussion showing consensus that such a change should occur. Johnuniq (talk) 23:43, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I want to see kilograms and not see pounds. Lots of people want Wikipedia to completely remove imperial units. They would probably also use an option to hide them.
 * This specific proposal is not exactly what I had in mind. Ideally I want this as a built-in Wikipedia setting that hooks into the Convert template, just like there is for date formatting https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Date_formatting_and_linking, as this user suggested back in 2005 Measurements_Debate. But if that's not possible, I guess this is good enough to be useful, it would make it easier to write a browser extension to target imperial units than it is now.

I still think a wide discussion (not just here) should occur before such a change. Meanwhile, I'm wondering how this would interact with various options. The following shows some converts and their outputs. Would these work if the output is wrapped with ? WOSlinker can you please check. 71 kg  71 kilograms (157&nbsp;lb)

71 kg style="text-align:right;"|71

 * style="text-align:right;" data-sort-value="7001710000000000000"|157

 * While convert with the table options still looks ok visually, it's got the span tags in odd places, so I think it would be better to add the span tags in the module and also not add them if the table option is used.

 * Also, just wondering how a gadget would be able to handle all the different formatting option for all the imperial units? Just a handful shown above. -- WOSlinker (talk) 08:30, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Good point. Also, for example,  is used at Muja Power Station in "(1.13 kilograms or 2.5 pounds)". I suppose a gadget would not have to work correctly all the time. Johnuniq (talk) 10:37, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm also in the process of creating modules for use in power stations that draw data from Wikidata. One of the things these modules may do is internally call cvt (via frame:expandTemplate). It's one thing to adapt convert on the assumption that its output goes straight to html/the wiki parser, but it's another altogether when a different module is calling it and expecting "clean" text to be returned. I don't know how many cases there are of this template being called internally in another module, perhaps very few, but it's certainly a consideration we ought to be anticipating. --RexxS (talk) 15:13, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Cuerda to acre and vice versa
Would it be possible for someone knowledgeable with conversion templates to expand this one so it can convert cuerdas to acres, and vice versa. The equation is 1.000 cuerda = 0.971 acres. Thanks, Mercy11 (talk) 01:39, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
 * @Mercy11: The unit code is  which is documented here. Examples:
 * → 12,300 cda
 * → 12,300 cda
 * Johnuniq (talk) 04:43, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
 * As noted in its article, there are multiple definitions of cuerda. Is there a way to warn editors that this conversion is valid only for the Puerto Rican cuarda? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 11:08, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
 * It sounds like a curse. EEng 11:28, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

I have previously said that cuerda should not be supported by convert because it is vague and has multiple meanings. Some history: There are some missing details that I haven't found at the moment. Johnuniq (talk) 00:58, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * August 2013 • cuerda proposed and made a temporary unit
 * April 2017 • doubts about cuerda
 * May 2017 • cuerda made a temporary unit to track usage
 * July 2018 • cuerda added as it had again been made a temporary unit and was used
 * The cuerda article was poorly written, perhaps leading to confusion. I have re-organized it, applying the cites to where they actually belonged, to help reduce confusion, and questioning the validity of some sources.
 * Still, I don't see any problem with the cuerda conversion template as it has stood for years. It is implemented as per the Puerto Rican cuerda meaning. This makes sense since that's the only definition that is authoritative as it is supported by an Act of Legislature. Of the other definitions, some come from WP:SPS sites and some from questionable or at best incomplete sources. Also, of all the uses of that templete in WP, I haven't seen where it was used, even once, for something other than the Puerto Rico land area measurement (as intended). Hope this helps. Mercy11 (talk) 04:11, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * So in PR it is an area measure, but Guatemala it can also be a unit of length? Sure we need a good article on that. But is not encyclopedic by itself, it is just a helper for conversions. When definitions are this complicated and variant, including it in  does not help wikipedia (what a documentation page that would be). Are there many articles relying on this conversion? (alternative option: create "cuerdaPR"). -DePiep (talk) 19:58, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

Units for Electric Vehicle Fuel Consumption
The units used across most of Europe are kWh/100km, whereas the units used within UK (and presumably US) are mi/kWh. Trying this conversion gives Error in convert: Cannot convert "energy per unit length" to "length/energy". Since the conversion of L/100km to mpg is effectively the same "reciprocal of unit types" but works, I guess there is a way to add this conversion?

I've never modified a template on here before, so thought it would be best to bring it up here before trying to add it myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ProgrammerJoe (talk • contribs) 19:25, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

Pressure in gauge and absolute units?
Does the conversion template understand between gauge and absolute pressures? They're the same scale, but one is offset by atmospheric pressure. Riveted Fox (talk) 12:25, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * You mean like with temperature:
 * Absolute: 20 C → 20 C
 * Delta: 20 C-change → 20 C-change
 * Do you have examples of wrong conversion re pressure? -DePiep (talk) 14:52, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

 * I dont have an example. I cant see a way to make the template do it.
 * That delta might be possible, but its really long-winded.
 * { convert|14.7|psia|psig} should give 14.7 psi (0 psi)   or something like that. Always the same offset. Riveted Fox (talk) 15:54, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * {convert|14.7|psi|psig} → 14.7 psi
 * 'psia', 'psig' unk units. Not nough info to continue. -DePiep (talk) 15:57, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * So? It should already recognise 'psig'? I couldnt get this to work, but its how I'd expect it to work?? absolute pressure gauge pressure Riveted Fox (talk) 16:07, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Best would be to provide a simple example (could be from an article, or from a textbook), using known unit names or abbreviations. For example, in psi only, a difference between those two values (gauge & absolute). When that is clear and illlustrating the question, a conversion (a second pressure unit) might be added. -DePiep (talk) 17:57, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

One can't convert unless one knows the actual atmospheric pressure at the location of the gauge. In situations where these distinctions need to be delved into, it's probably better to explain it in prose rather than use a template. And if, perchance, the original poster isn't clear about the distinction, then using a template is definitely the wrong thing to do. Jc3s5h (talk) 18:46, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

6'1
Hey- I want to give the meters of height for someone that's 6'1 on the 1948 United States Senate election in Texas page. I used the convert template like this (convert|6|ft|1|in|m|abbr=on) and it reads as '6 ft 1 in (1.85 m)'. Is there any way I can make it so that the convert template gives me "6'1 (1.85 m)" instead? I think that writing it like "6'1 (1.85 m)" would be more in line with the way in which the original editor was writing, and I don't want to dumb down the style of the article without cause.

Using this template from a lua module
is there a good way to use Module:Convert from another lua module? I was working on 'Module:Person height' and at the moment I am going through the template, which is probably not the most efficient, but certainly more efficient than the current version of 'Template:Infobox person/height'. Frietjes (talk) 15:47, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * You're only expanding 'template convert' once per call to, so any inefficiency is going to be negligible. If you really wanted to eke the last bit of performance, you could modify Module:Convert so that   preprocessed the frame and then called a sub-function that did the rest of the work, passing just the args table. That sub-function could then be exported to other modules and directly loaded as required. I could be mistaken, but my experience tells me that any tiny performance gain isn't going to be worth the effort. --RexxS (talk) 17:00, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * A priori predictions of what matters to performance are always wrong. Code it in the clearest and most straightforward way possible. EEng 17:04, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, a priori assessments of predictions of what matters to performance are also always wrong. If we were coding from scratch, we'd do it differently, but we're not; so feel free to re-code this module in the clearest and most straightforward way possible. I'm sure will appreciate it. --RexxS (talk) 17:12, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Regrettably, a priori prognostications of assessments of predictions of what matters to performance are, additionally, always wrong, so feel at liberty to code this in the clearest and most straightforward way possible. EEng 17:24, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Read the OP. It is what Frietjes is looking for. Your replies however did not bring her any closer to that aim. -DePiep (talk) 18:44, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes it did. It explained that she should ignore putative performance considerations. EEng 21:13, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * And I explained that you were talking through your arse and were offering her advice on a subject that you have no knowledge of. The performance cost of a single call to template:convert is at worst around 25 ms of CPU time and 50 bytes of memory. So the answer to the original question, "is there a good way to use Module:Convert from another lua module?", remains "Yes, you can re-write the module to create another entry point that doesn't expect a frame object, and then  from the other Lua module". But the rider is that in this case the effort is large compared to any possible performance gain over using  . --RexxS (talk) 21:46, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, to be honest you posted your response just before mine, and I didn’t notice that once the edit window was open; I was responding to the OP. I assure you, however, that I do know what I’m talking about. The 25 ms and 50 bytes matter, in the context of what the OP is doing... why? EEng 23:09, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, ok. I see now. Mea culpa. To answer your question seriously (for a change): Module:Person height makes use of Template:Convert internally by calling it via the  method available to Scribunto modules. That has to set up a template call, pass the arguments, and then return the results to the call. If Module:Convert had a direct entry point available to other modules, then we could bypass calling the template and save some CPU time/memory. If you try running a few calls to Template:Convert and comparing the 'Parser profiling data' with and without the call, you'll find that a convert template consumes around 25 ms CPU time and 50 or bytes of memory. That means that the most resources we could save by bypassing the template and using the module directly can't be any greater than those values. Of course that's for a single call, and if we called the template multiple times in a module, then the savings would start to add up and begin to look significant. As it happens, though, Frietjes has constructed Module:Person height so that it only ever calls a conversion once. And that's why I suggested there aren't many savings to be made in her module by attempting to use Module:Convert directly, instead of via the template. Hope that makes sense. --RexxS (talk) 00:57, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

thank for the feedback, a simple lua entry point into Module:Convert could be helpful, but isn't critical. I believe Module:Person height is an improvement over template:infobox person/height + template:infobox person/height/locate + template:infobox person/height/switch in terms of (1) readability, (2) performance, and (3) extensibility (e.g., the addition of the prefer and enforce parameters for m vs cm). however, I am sure there are ways to improve it even more so any additional feedback is welcome (most of the short variable names were inherited from the older template). Frietjes (talk) 19:29, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but as noted and due to historical reasons, Module:Convert has no entry point for another module. Convert was one of the first modules to be developed, starting at test2wiki before Scribunto was available here, and I wasn't sure it would manage all the work required so other modules and nice-to-have features were not a consideration. Convert has some assumptions about how a template handles parameters, and it expects that certain configuration items (not needed at enwiki) can be read from the parameters in the wikitext in Template:Convert. Adding an entry point is on my to-do list but getting to the end of that is looking less likely. Johnuniq (talk) 00:34, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

 * For the record, I just noticed a similar discussion from February 2019 at Module talk:Convert (permalink because I'm going to archive the preceeding) where I gave an answer similar to what I wrote above. Johnuniq (talk) 08:08, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Default conversion with Wikidata

 * Moved form Module talk:Convert. Johnuniq (talk) 08:00, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Example from and, 178 centimetre: When I try to fetch it with the same unit defined in Wikidata (seems weird but it is unknown a priori), it does a default conversion when the unit parameter has no space at the beginning or the end. The  option does not affect this behavior, it is for convenience to avoid strange outputs as "178 cm (178 cm)". Pinging as initial reporter. --Vriullop (talk) 07:55, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
 * gives m undefined ✅
 * gives m undefined ✅
 * gives cm undefined ✅
 * gives cm undefined ❌
 * I hope you don't mind but I moved this to here. Sorry about the confusion at Module talk:Convert, I'll try to make it more explicit that discussion like this should be here. I will look at the issue and respond in due course. Johnuniq (talk) 08:03, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hmm, interesting problem. A hint about what's going on is seen with the following. In each convert,  is replaced with   as read from Wikidata.
 * → ftin undefined
 * → mm undefined
 * → undefined undefined
 * → cm undefined
 * Convert has some special-case code to handle the last case to avoid showing 178 cm. Convert compares any specified output unit ( in this case) with the input unit from Wikidata (also  ). Because they are the same, convert removes the specified output unit so the default will be used.
 * Convert does not trim spaces from the numbered parameters because in some cases spaces are significant (they appear in the output). When checking for a unit, convert trims spaces. However, due to an oversight (aka bug), the code handling the Wikidata special case does not trim spaces. For example, " cm" (has a leading space) is not the same as "cm" so the former would not be removed. If the bug were fixed, any spaces around  would be removed so the   would also be removed, giving the default output.
 * If someone wants to know what  contains ("178 centimetre" in this case), one of the Wikidata modules would probably do the job. If that is what is wanted, please say so and one of the watchers here will probably know what to do. I am puzzled why the unit is centimetre rather than centimeter because I thought I had seen an editor systematically change all the SI units to US spelling saying that was the standard. Convert uses the Wikidata ID so the label (centimetre or centimeter) is irrelevant for convert. Johnuniq (talk) 10:07, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I know I can use a Wikidata module but units are not consistent and they do not manage unit conversions, AFAIK. Apart from the wikidata trim, I am more concerned about the default conversion being applied when using . In this case it does not show the requested unit. --Vriullop (talk) 11:53, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, . Your last solution is not was I look for, because when I know that the unit is the same, then I have to make a new get -via module- to fetch the information as is in WD. This function you well describe is different as that what "convert" does when ask for a conversion cm to cm with manual parameter. Look that convert template could tell me that I'm stupid to ask for convert nothing, however is very polite and it returns the same value it got without do unit conversion. So, why doesn't have same behaviour when gets from WD ? specially, because I do not know a priori what is the unit I'll receive. By now, I fetch the info with wikidata module (value+unit), then I compare if unit received are the same that I wanted, if not, then I call manual convert using value+unit I got as source for "covert". So, only 1 access to WD and 0 or 1 calculation with convert. The wiki code is not clean, but cheaper than any other way. Could the logic be harmonitzed between manual and WD convert process for this circumstances ?. And alternative way: I tested to change the default table telling cm-cm instead cm-in and it ran perfectly. However, I reverted change because I did not know if it could have other side effects. What do you think ? Is default table used for any other action?. Thanks a lot, Amadalvarez (talk) 12:07, 27 September 2019 (UTC) cc.

This isn't intended to be a solution, but I thought I'd supply some information about what we can do with the Wikidata modules: The reason why the units actually use "-metre" as default rather than "-meter" is that I subsequently systematically changed all the unit labels from the US back to the SI standard spellings (following d:Talk:Q11573). If you really want to know what's going on on Wikidata, there is this tool:

 * Thanks, that is helpful. At least I should be able to find them later. Johnuniq (talk) 02:14, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Convert omits the duplicate output unit for a specific reason related to the origin of the  parameter, namely its use in certain infoboxes. Perhaps it should not do that when  is used, but currently it does. The solution to your problem is to include a space in the output unit because, as explained above, that causes convert to not omit the duplicate unit. In fact, writing that makes me wonder if I intentionally did not trim the parameter—I normally would not forget something like that.

Anastasia the Patrician

Saint Anastasia the Patrician (Anastasia Patricia, Άναστασία Πατρικία; fl. 576) was a Byzantine courtier and later saint. She was a lady-in-waiting to the Byzantine empress Theodora. Justinian I, Theodora's husband, may have pursued her, as Theodora grew jealous of her. Anastasia, to avoid any trouble, left for Alexandria in Egypt. She arrived at a place called Pempton, near Alexandria, where she founded a monastery which would later be named after her. She lived with monastic discipline and wove cloth to support herself.

Following the death of Theodora in 548, Justinian attempted to get Anastasia to return to Constantinople, to no avail. Instead, Anastasia left for Scetis, looking for help from Abba Daniel, hegumen of the monastery at that time. To safeguard Anastasia, he let her move into a laura or monastery cell 18 miles from Scetis in the desert, and dress as a (male) monk and take up the life of a hermit at a time when this was only permitted to men. He visited her every week and ensured that one of his disciples supplied her with jugs of water. Anastasia dwelt in seclusion for twenty-eight years.

In 576, aware of her approaching death, she wrote several words for Abba Daniel on a piece of broken pottery and placed it at the entrance to the cave. The disciple found an ostracon with the words "Bring the spades and come here." When Daniel heard this, he knew Anastasia was near death. He went to visit her with his disciple and to give her communion and hear her last words. Daniel revealed the full details of her story to his disciple after her death.

Her story survives in one recension of the Copto-Arabic Synaxarion and by a tale of Daniel of Scetis. Her feast day is 10 March in the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Catholic Church, and on 26 Tobi in the calendar of the Coptic Church, the date of her death given in the Ethiopic Life of Daniel of Scetis. She has been adopted by today's LGBT community as an example of a "transgender" saint.

Modern Physics/Potential Momentum

Potential Momentum
In classical physics we know that kinematics can often be described by a potential energy alone. Now we've seen that in relativity the energy is just the temporal component of the momentum 4-vector, so we should expect the same of the potential energy. To see how this works, we'll reason by analogy from the classical case.

For a free, non-relativistic particle of mass m, the total energy E equals the kinetic energy K and is related to the momentum Π of the particle by

 * $$ E = K = \frac{| \boldsymbol{\Pi} |^2}{2m} \qquad \mbox{(free, non-relativistic)} . $$

In the non-relativistic case, the momentum is Π= mv, where v is the particle velocity.

If the particle is not free, but is subject to forces associated with a potential energy U(x,y,z), then the equation must be modified to account for the contribution of U to the total energy:

 * $$ E - U = K = \frac{| \boldsymbol{\Pi} |^2}{2m} \qquad \mbox{(non-free, non-relativistic)} . $$

The force on the particle is related to the potential energy by

 * $$ \mathbf{F} = - \left( \frac{\partial U}{\partial x}, \frac{\partial U}{\partial y} , \frac{\partial U}{\partial z} \right) . $$

For a free, relativistic particle, we have
 * $$ E = ( | \boldsymbol{\Pi} |^2 c^2 + m^2 c^4 )^{1/2} \qquad \mbox{(free, relativistic)} . $$

The obvious way to add forces to the relativistic case is by rewriting this equation with a potential energy:

 * $$ E - U = ( | \boldsymbol{\Pi} |^2 c^2 + m^2 c^4 )^{1/2} \qquad \mbox{(incomplete!)} . $$

However $$\boldsymbol\Pi = (\Pi, E/c)$$ is a four-vector, so an equation with something subtracted from just one of the components of this four-vector is not relativistically invariant. In other words, this equation doesn't obey the principle of relativity, and therefore cannot be correct!

How can we fix this problem? One way is to define a new four-vector with U/c being its timelike part and some new vector Q being its spacelike part:
 * $$ \underline{Q} \equiv ( \mathbf{ Q}, U/c) \qquad \mbox{(potential four-momentum)} . $$

We then subtract Q from the momentum Π. When we do this, equation (13.5) becomes
 * $$ E - U = ( | \boldsymbol{\Pi} - \mathbf{ Q}|^2 c^2 + m^2 c^4 )^{1/2} \qquad \mbox{(non-free, relativistic)} . $$

The quantity Q is called the potential momentum and Q is the potential four-momentum.

If |Π-Q| is much smaller than mc, this becomes approximately

 * $$E = mc^2 + \frac{1}{2m}\left( \boldsymbol{\Pi} - \mathbf{Q} \right)^2 $$

This expression for the energy has the same form as the Hamiltonian we looked at for classical velocity dependent forces, so we know it predicts a force perpendicular to the velocity, when the condition is met. It turns out to be perpendicular even when the condition is met.

In classical physics the potential momentum is an optional extra. In relativity it is a necessary part of any potential field.

Some additional terminology is useful. We define
 * $$ \mathbf{ p} \equiv \boldsymbol{\Pi} - \mathbf{ Q} \qquad \mbox{(kinetic momentum}) $$

as the kinetic momentum since in the classical case it reduces to mv. In order to avoid confusion, we rename Π the total momentum. Thus, the total momentum equals the kinetic plus the potential momentum, in analogy with energy.

Introduction to Sociology

Sociology is the study of human social life. Human social life is complex and encompasses many facets of the human experience. Because of its complexity, the discipline of sociology has been subdivided over time into specialty areas. The first section of this book covers the foundations of sociology, including an introduction to the discipline, relevant study methodologies, and dominant theoretical perspectives. The remaining chapters focus on the different areas of study in sociology.

The Quiksilver Pro France 2019 was the ninth event of the Men's Championship Tour in the 2019 World Surf League. It took place from 3 to 11 October at Capbreton, Hossegor and Seignosse in Landes, France, and was contested by 36 surfers.

In the final, France's Jérémy Florès defeated Brazil's Italo Ferreira to win the fourth Championship Tour event of his career and become the first Frenchman to win the event.

Format
A new competition format was introduced for the 2019 Championship Tour. All 36 surfers take part in the Seeding Round. The top two surfers in each heat advance directly to the Round of 32, while the lowest-placed surfer in each heat enters the Elimination Round. In each of the four heats in the Elimination Round, the top two surfers advance to the Round of 32, while the lowest-placed surfer is eliminated from the competition. From the Round of 32 onwards, the competition follows a single elimination format, with the winner of each head-to-head heat advancing to the next round and the loser being eliminated.

Competition
The competition took place from 3 to 11 October.

Talk:Dell Hymes

Dell_Hymes_Model_of_Speaking
Should the following deleted information from a now-missing article entirtles "The Dell Hymes Model of Speaking" be included in this article. I think it should.

 * The Dell Hymes Model of Speaking is a linguistic model developed by Dell Hymes in which it is stated that in order to speak a language correctly, one needs not only to learn its vocabulary and grammar, but also the context in which words are used. In the speaking model the following aspects of the linguistic situation are considered:

 * ==Setting and Scene==
 * "Setting refers to the time and place of a speech act and, in general, to the physical circumstances" (Hymes: 55).The living room in the grandparents' home might be a setting for a family story. Scene is the "psychological setting" or "cultural definition" of a scene, including characteristics such as range of formality and sense of play or seriousness (ibid: 55-56). The family story may be told at a reunion celebrating the grandparents' anniversary. At times, the family would be festive and playful; at other times, serious and commemorative.

 * ==Participants==
 * Speaker and audience. Linguists will make distinctions within these categories; for example, the audience can be distinguished as addressees and other hearers (ibid: 54 and 56). At the family reunion, an aunt might tell a story to the young female relatives, but males, although not addressed, might also hear the narrative.

 * ==Ends==
 * Purposes, goals, and outcomes (ibid: 56-57). The aunt may tell a story about the grandmother to entertain the audience, teach the young women, and honor the grandmother.

 * ==Act Sequence==
 * Form and order of the event. The aunt's story might begin as a response to a toast to the grandmother. The story's plot and development would have a sequence structured by the aunt. Possibly there would be a collaborative interruption during the telling. Finally, the group might applaud the tale and move onto another subject or activity.

 * ==Key==
 * Clues that establish the "tone, manner, or spirit" of the speech act (ibid: 57). The aunt might imitate the grandmother's voice and gestures in a playful way, or she might address the group in a serious voice emphasizing the sincerity and respect of the praise the story expresses.

 * ==Instrumentalities==
 * Forms and styles of speech (ibid: 58-60). The aunt might speak in a casual register with many dialect features or might use a more formal register and careful grammatical "standard" forms.

 * ==Norms==
 * Social rules governing the event and the participants' actions and reaction. In a playful story by the aunt, the norms might allow many audience interruptions and collaboration, or possibly those interruptions might be limited to participation by older females. A serious, formal story by the aunt might call for attention to her and no interruptions as norms.

 * ==Genre==
 * The kind of speech act or event; for our course, the kind of story. The aunt might tell a character anecdote about the grandmother for entertainment, or an exemplum as moral instruction. Different disciplines develop terms for kinds of speech acts, and speech communities sometimes have their own terms for types.

 * ==Conclusion==
 * These eight terms (which together spell SPEAKING) can be applied to many kinds of discourse. Sometimes in a written discussion using this model, one might emphasize only two or three of the letters of the mnemonic. The model provides a structure for perceiving and addressing components.

 * ==References==

 * Hymes, Dell (1974) Foundations of Sociolinguistics: An Ethnographic Approach. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press.

 * It is now incorporated (in slightly adapted form). Also, the alterations made by "<IP_ADDRESS>" were made by myself, who had neglected to "log on". Lindsay658 23:00, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Removed reference to conflict with Noam Chomsky.
I have removed the reference to Noam Chomsky in the "Significance of Work" section (that is, removed the clause " . . . which puts him very much at odds with the linguistic theories of Noam Chomsky.") It is mildly stylistically awkward, since it suggests Hymes himself is at odds with a theory. It probably should read the Hymes' theory is at odds with Chomsky's theory. More importantly, it is not correct. One of the most recent publications in which this is addressed is a 2005 article (Fitch et al. 2005. The evolution of the language faculty: Clarifications and implications. Cognition (97), pp. 179-210). The authors (of which Chomsky is one) point out that they are specifically interested in forming theories about one part of the biological make-up of humans, called "faculty of language narrow" in the article. At most this is a theory about a subset set of the concerns of Dell Hymes, and as such is not at odds with his theories about language. Fitch et al. explicitly note that there are many more topics that fall under the study of language in general, and that their hypothesis about FLN is not in conflict with broader theories of communication of language use. pete212 21:00, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Sleeping language?
I refer to | footnote 4 of the article: What the hell is a sleeping language? I've been a linguist for decades and have never heard the term. I get a sense, being familiar with the tongue in questions, that's what meant is moribund or something of the sort, but I must know if the contributor in question specifically meant sleeping or, like too many others working on linguistics articles, just pulled something out of their ass when they did not know the proper terminology. Dr. C.S. Lewis-Barrie, Ph.D. (talk) 22:16, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Reference 1 and 5
These are not references, they are footnotes with unreferenced material. I think 1 can be resolved with http://jasonbairdjackson.com/2009/11/16/dell-hymes-passing/. Can anyone find a real reference for 5? --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 11:21, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Reference to Hymes (1974)
Since Hymes wrote a number of things in 1974, it is not clear which of those references is meant by Hymes (1974). The usual notation would be to have Hymes (1974a), Hymes (1974b) in the bibliography and refer to the appropriate one whenever suitable. (<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 11:00, 23 November 2014 (UTC))
 * Found the reference and added to the first mention. Please reformat as needed. (I'm worried about using the 1974a-style notation since the list could possibly change, and a careful editor might not update the letter.) Trey314159 (talk) 19:32, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Sexual harassment claims
There's a statement in the lead paragraph that Hymes was accused of sexual harassment later in his career, but there's no mention of it in the article. I think a section should be added at the end of the article providing more information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karen McNeil (talk • contribs) 13:44, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

2019–20 NC State Wolfpack men's basketball team

The 2019–20 NC State Wolfpack men's basketball team represented North Carolina State University during the 2019–20 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Wolfpack were led by third-year head coach Kevin Keatts and played its home games at PNC Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). After winning its second round match-up with Pittsburgh in the 2020 ACC men's basketball tournament and before its quarterfinal match-up with Duke, the tournament was canceled due to concerns with the COVID-19 pandemic. Later that afternoon, the NCAA announced that all Winter and Spring championships would be canceled, including the NCAA tournament. They finished the season 20–12, 10–10 in ACC play to finish in a tie for sixth place.

Previous season
The Wolfpack finished the 2018–19 season 24–12, 9–9 in ACC play to finish in a tie for eighth place. They lost in the quarterfinals of the ACC tournament to Virginia. They received a bid to the NIT where they lost in the quarterfinals to Lipscomb.

Bush and Florida State Senator Richard H. Langley.

He enlisted in the U.S. Navy immediately after 1992 campaign season and served on active duty for two years as a propulsion engineer aboard an amphibious transport ship in the Far East.

Upon his honorable discharge from active duty, Stewart returned to Florida and began to work for the Republican Party of Florida as a fund raiser and field representative in the state capital of Tallahassee. He also served briefly as the executive assistant to the chairman of the education committee in the Florida House of Representatives during the 1998 legislative session. Later that year, Stewart joined the campaign of Beverly J. Kilmer for State Representative, and helped her become the first Republican lawmaker elected from the ‘Big Bend’ region of north Florida since the Civil War era.

In 1999 Stewart returned to central Florida to be with his future wife, Julia Marie Montgomery of Winter Springs, and complete his undergraduate degree at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. While a student, Stewart continued his involvement in politics and became the first person in history from that university to win election as state chairman of the College Republicans in Florida. In this capacity, Stewart helped support the election of GOP candidates throughout the state such as Governor Jeb Bush, U.S. Representative Tom Feeney and numerous other federal, state and municipal candidates. After being awarded a B.S.B.A degree in economics in 2002, Stewart went to work as a financial consultant for the investment firm of A.G. Edwards & Sons.

In 2004, Stewart was a candidate for the non-partisan office of Supervisor of the Orange County Soil & Water Conservation District. He was defeated by former Orlando mayoral candidate and community activist Tim Adams 57% to 43%, in a race that was overshadowed locally by the hotly contested election between President George W. Bush and Senator John Kerry.

Bryan Stewart and Julia Montgomery were married on Nov. 20, 2004, at the Cathedral Church of St. Lukein Orlando, Florida. In 2005, Stewart joined the Bank of New York (now the Bank of New York Mellon) where he works as an accountant for the Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) business group. The Stewarts reside in Winter Park, Florida.

Bara få va mig själv

"Bara få va mig själv" is a song by Swedish singer-songwriter Laleh, taken as the first single from her sixth studio album, Kristaller. It was written by Laleh, Gustaf Thörn, Gino Yonan, and Frank Nobel while being produced by Laleh. It was released on 6 April 2016 through Warner Music Sweden.

It is her highest-charting song on the Sverigetopplistan, peaking at number five, and was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2017 Grammis.

Background and composition
After a period of work as songwriter and producer in the United States, where she worked with artists such as Demi Lovato, Tori Kelly and Adam Levine, she returned to Sweden and released "Bara få va mig själv" as the lead single off her sixth album Kristaller. The song was first released exclusively to radio stations and Spotify on 6 May 2016, and was made available on all platforms two days later, the same day that tickets for the Kristaller Tour went on sale. All of her previous lead singles had been in English, with this marking her first in Swedish.

Laleh said the song was "a story about finding your own voice and the difference between learning from others and being controlled by others" while A Bit of Pop Music described it as "one of the most poppy and upbeat things she has released," adding that it was a "sure-fire hit." Scandipop called it a "rousing, beat-driven pop number."

Commercial performance
The song debuted on the Sverigetopplistan Singles Top 100 at number 16 on the chart dated 15 April 2016 and later peaked at number five on its sixth week, becoming her highest-charting song. It remained on the official Swedish chart for a total of 68 non-consecutive weeks.

It also reached number one on the Svensktoppen on 3 July, a spot it sat in as late as October, and peaked at number five on the DigiListan chart tracking digital sales on 22 May.

In December, it was announced that Bara få va mig själv was the year's most-streamed Swedish song on Spotify, with over 30 million plays.

Music video
The official music video, directed and edited by Laleh herself, was released on 8 April 2016, the same day the song was released for digital download. It was filmed in Los Angeles, where Laleh had recently moved to. As of August 2021 the video has over 15 million views on YouTube.

Launched Loop (Arrow Dynamics)

A Launched Loop is a type of steel launched shuttle roller coaster manufactured by Arrow Dynamics. With 8 different installations, 7 of them being relocated at least once, the ride was introduced in 1977, with the last one opening in 1993.

History
The first installation of a Launched Loop dates back to 1977 with the installation of Demon at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio. Two more also opened in 1977; Zoomerang at Boardwalk and Baseball in Haines City, Florida, and Black Widow at Six Flags New England in Agawam, Massachusetts. These were most likely built to rival Intamin's Shuttle Loop, which started being built the same year. In 1987, Demon at Kings Island became the first Launched Loop to be relocated, becoming Thunderbolt Express at Camden Park in Huntington, West Virginia. , only three Launched Loops operate: Revolution at Blackpool Pleasure Beach in Lancashire, England, Sidewinder at Elitch Gardens in Denver, Colorado, and Diamond Back at Frontier City in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Notable installations

 * Lightnin' Loops was a combination of two different launched loop roller coasters with interlocking loops built for Six Flags Great Adventure in 1978. One track closed in 1987 and stood nonoperational until 1992 when the other track closed. The track that closed in 1987 was then relocated to Frontier City as Diamond Back as the other track was relocated to Six Flags America as Python, both opening in 1993.
 * Demon at Kings Island, while not being the first built, was the first launched loop to open. The ride was then relocated to Camden Park as Thunderbolt Express where it operated until 1999.
 * Revolution at Blackpool Pleasure Beach is the longest-operating launched loop, opening in 1979, and also is the only of its kind to not be relocated any time in its lifetime.

Organic Chemistry/Introduction to reactions/Hydroboration

Hydroboration basics
By reacting an alkene with borane, a useful reaction intermediate called an organoborane can be formed. An organoborane can be oxidized to form a terminal alcohol, or it can be protonated to form an alkane.

(Basic examples of reduction and protonolysis here)

History
Hydroboration reactions were developed by Herbert C. Brown during his research at Purdue University. It earned him the 1979 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (along with Georg Wittig) because of the practical applications to synthesis, namely pharmaceuticals.

Formation of borane reagents
Borane is not stable, it must be generated in situ from a borohydride salt (eg NaBH4) at the time of organoborane formation. Diborane exists in equilibrium with borane.

Formation of diborane (and borane) from sodium borohydride

Hydroboration/Protonolysis
After one has formed an organoborane, it can be be reacted with an organic acid to obtain an alkane. The two hydrogens are added with syn stereospecificity

Hydroboration/Oxidation
Organoboranes can be oxidized in a basic peroxide solution to form alcohols. The alcohol that is formed is the opposite product that would be formed by oxymercuration or hydration. The hydrogen and hydroxide groups add syn to each other.

Regiochemistry of products
Boration reactions generate anti-Markovnikov products because hydrogen adds second as a hydride nucleophile. (In most other reactions, hydrogen usually adds first as an electrophile.) The borane adds first, which is an honor usually reserved for the strongly electrophilic proton.

Talk:World History Project - Contents/Archive 1

This structure is based entirely on the requirements for the CA book. Lord, if it doesnt look to be a boring book. Somehow I graduated from high school and college without knowing most of this stuff. --Karl WickI think that a textbook on world history should actually encompass more than the development of western government. Talk more about India, China and Africa for heaven's sake. I realize this outline is designed to meet California requirements but a comprehensive textbook on World History should be more representative.

Just have come across this. It's as biased as World History could be. IS there a world outside Europe and the USA? Makes me wonder...

I just haven't gotten around to writing about most of the world yet. As you can tell, I've started work on the Ancient World, WWI & WWII, Exploration, Ancient Mesoamerica, and Early China & Japan. That's alot of information already (because of some additional chapters, this may turn out to cover much more than the CA standard, and at least twice as long). Right now, the entire thing is map deficient (most of that stuff is copyrighted and ineligible for inclusion), date deficient (sorry, but right now I'm more concerned about adding info than dates), and grammar deficient (again, info over proofs). It's going to take time, so thanks for patience and help! --Tai

One most consider the way in which one World History is taught. For example AP World History, to not seem Euro-centric fixates on the concept of interactions between nations after European Ex & Dis. this is in contrast to what World History once was where you would get a fairly indepth look at Mesopotamia then India, China, perhaps Mesoamerica and then to greece and rome and continue on with Europe for the rest of the year. My Pre-AP World History class was done like that but we stopped at the Renaissance in preperation for AP European History, which starts a few hundred years before the Renaissance. When I was offered the chance to take AP World History, I quickly discovered that although the education I received in World History was excellent, I was lacking in anything after the Renaissance for anywhere other then Europe. A good example of this method of history can be found in Spielvogel's World History: A Human Odessey. Speilvogel heavily emphasis Europe and "western" civilizations after a certain point, with one or two chapters here and there covering broad topics in non-western civilizations. Eurocentricism is a large component of history education and one needs to find a way to not babble on incoherently about the "East" in an attempt to make it seem like there is more there then there actually is, while not taking the imperialist concept of "The White Man's Burden" to bring civilization to those eastern savages. The College Boards method is affective, but it does take some of the fun out of history because you center on interactions and trade rather then events and figures. --Alexbl 02:37, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Personally, interactions and trade is the way to go for me. Sure, we will need to know about Hannibal, Gengis Khan, Napoleon, or Bismark, but in most cases the impetus for the events they inspired are already there. For example, Germany was well on its way to unification before Bismark, with the Confederation of the Rhine and that economic thing of theirs. Bismark just cleverly got France and Austria out of the way so he could set up the German Empire, but I bet at the rate Prussia was going it could have annexed all the little German states eventually. Of course, studying their lives is far more interesting than looking at the "big picture", and it's very easy (and correct) to think of one "great leader" altering history. But conditions have to be right, too. I bet there were plenty of people wanting to set up a German Empire long before Bismark came around, and faileed because of the petty infighting between the Germanic royals (before all the fighting got to them). Just my 2 cents. --Tai (P.S., nice job on the European History book, it looks much more complete than this one).

This page is a little odd--it focuses in only on California standards, and the organization is also wierd. Simple little things like titles and headings are missing and/or not in the most gramatically correct english. Also, you can't just read from a book and summaraize and/or copy exactly down what you see, that's not only plagiarism, but 10th grade history books are meant to be understood by people with a huge range of IQs, and still developing minds. This page needs serious restructuring. Though, I do admire trying to adhere to a written set of standards.--Naryathegreat 23:52, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)

User:JWSchmidt/Blog/11 February 2007

Open content and free content  User:CQ drew my attention to this page at the One Laptop per Child wiki. There is seemingly never ending discussion of licensing content for use at education-oriented wiki websites. Much of the discussion centers on two different domains of copyleft resources, those that allow commercial re-use and those that do not. The Education networks page had an emphasis on non-commercially licensed learning resources and that got me thinking again about these two domains.

It is possible to frame Wikiversity within the context of a Free Culture movement. The "Free Culture movement" is concerned with promoting the licensing of creative works in ways that allow them to be freely copied and modified for the creation of new derivative works. The term "free" is a problem in this context. It does not mean "free of cost", it means "free of legal restrictions on copying and use". A related idea is "free content". We say that Wikiversity has "free content" in that the text and files at Wikiversity can be freely copied and used without restrictions such as a non-commercial use restriction. The only serious limitation is that Wikiversity asks that this free content be correctly attributed to those who created it.

Another related idea is "open content". An important distinction between "free content" and "open content" is that open content resources are sometimes licensed in a way that does not allow commercial redistribution. Such non-commercial restrictions are commonly used by universities that make their learning resources available on the internet (see OpenCourseWare). Bricks and Mortar institutions often do not want "their" learning resources to be used by others for profit. When a non-commercial license is use, the learning resources are not as freely available as they would be under a license like the GFDL that is used at Wikiversity.

A problem arising from these two domains of learning resources (truly free content vs non-commercial use only) is that Wikiversity participants can be tempted to call for use of a less free license that would be compatible with educational resources like OpenCourseWare (for example, see OpenCourseWare University Collaboration, 5 February 2007). Wikiversity probably needs to do a better job with the Free content page and make sure that Wikiversity participants can easily find that page.

Esperanto/Grammar Rules

Esperanto is a constructed language intended to be used for neutral international communication. Esperanto is spoken around the world and has about 2 million speakers. There are 16 basic rules of Esperanto grammar, established by its founder, L.L. Zamenhof:
 * 1) There is no indefinite article (English a, an); there is only a definite article la, alike for all genders, cases and numbers (English the).  The use of the article is as in other languages. People for whom use of the article offers difficulties (e.g. speakers of Russian, Chinese, etc.) may at first elect not to use it at all.
 * 2) Nouns have the ending -o. To form the plural, add the ending -j. There are only two cases: nominative and accusative; the latter can be obtained from the nominative by adding the ending -n. The other cases are expressed with the aid of prepositions (genitive by de (English of), dative by al (English to), ablative by per (English by means of) or other prepositions, according to meaning).
 * 3) Adjectives end in -a. Cases and numbers are as for nouns. The comparative is made with the word pli (English more), the superlative with plej (English most); for the comparative the conjunction ol (English than) is used.
 * 4) The basic numerals (not declined) are: unu, du, tri, kvar, kvin, ses, sep, ok, naŭ, dek, cent, mil (English one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, hundred, thousand). Tens and hundreds are formed by simple juxtaposition of the numerals. To show ordinal numbers we add the adjective ending; for multiples, the suffix -obl; for fractions (actually, reciprocals), -on; for collectives, -op; for divisionals, the word (particle) po. Noun and adverb numerals can also be used.
 * 5) Personal pronouns: mi, vi, li, ŝi, ĝi (for an object or animal), si, ni, vi, ili, oni (English I, you, he, she, it, oneself, we, you, they, they-one-people); the possessive pronouns are formed by addition of the adjective ending. Declension is as for nouns.
 * 6) The verb does not change for person or number. Forms of the verb: present time takes the ending -as; past time, -is; future time, -os; conditional mood, -us; command mood, -u; infinitive mood, -i. Participles (with adjectival or adverbial meaning): present active, -ant; past active, -int; future active, -ont; present passive, -at; past passive, -it; future passive, -ot. All forms of the passive are formed with the aid of the corresponding form of the verb esti (English to be) and the passive participle of the required verb; the preposition with the passive is de (English by).
 * 7) Adverbs can be formed from adjectives by changing the -a ending to an -e ending (like English -ly).
 * 8) All prepositions take the nominative.
 * 9) Every word is read as it is written.
 * 10) The accent always falls on the next-to-last syllable (vowel).
 * 11) Compound words are formed by simple juxtaposition of words (the main word stands at the end); the grammatical endings are also viewed as independent words.
 * 12) When another negative word is present, the word ne (English no, not) is omitted.
 * 13) To show direction, words take the accusative ending.
 * 14) Every preposition has a definite and permanent meaning, but if we have to use a preposition and the direct meaning doesn't tell us what preposition we should take, then we use the preposition je, which has no independent meaning. Instead of je the accusative without a preposition may be used.
 * 15) The so-called foreign words, i.e. those taken by the majority of languages from one source, are used in Esperanto without change, taking on only the orthography of this language; but for different words from a single root it is better to use without change only the basic word, and form the rest from this latter according to the rules of Esperanto.
 * 16) The final vowel of the noun and the article may be dropped and replaced by an apostrophe (without effect on stress).
