Why Koshini and Friends

 * Good News
 * The figures from Lady Littlefox called "Koshini and Friends" are not as realistic as the Michael and Victoria figures. That means Koshini and Friends will be much easier to animate.

 * The Bad News
 * Kiki is one of the figures for Koshini and Friends. She is a YOUNG PERSON which is what we need.  The problem is there is no OLD PERSON for Koshini and Friends.

Talk:Dedee Pfeiffer

Nude work
While I certainly have no moral objections to reading about Dedee's first nude role (and, on a personal level, I appreciate the heads up!), it seems out of place to mention it in an encyclopedic article, especially since on-screen nudity has been relatively infrequent throughout her career. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:03, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Its still here in 2021, i have never noticed it mentioned in any other actors entry --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:59, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

I agree. I removed the mention of nude film role as it seems out of place. Wasn't sure whether to leave mention of Playboy role or not? That seems like it might be more relevant. It's there for now, unless another editor feels it should be removed? --ObservantSpectator (talk) 06:45, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Organic Chemistry/Alkanes/Methane

=Methane= << Foundational concepts | Ethane >>

Methane, CH4 is the simplest organic molecule. It is a gas at standard temperature and pressure and is a carbon atom with four hydrogen atoms bonded to it in a tetrahedral shape.

This is a flattened, two-dimensional representation of methane that you will see commonly. The true three-dimensional form of methane does not have any 90 degree angles between bonded hydrogens. The bonds point to the four corners of a tetrahedron, forming cos−1(−1/3) ≈ 109.5 degree bond angles.

Natural Habitat
The Pacific dogfish's habitat consists of bays, inshore and offshore waters. Female dogfish usually are usually seen in inshore waters while smalls pups are seen maneuvering in offshore waters.These animals are usually spotted at the bottom of the continental shelf or in other words the bottom of the sea. The Pacific dogfish prefers to live mainly in saltwater, but they can live in and tolerate brackish water (a mix of salt and fresh water). .

Location
Dogfish in general live in three main areas of the ocean: the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian ocean. This species can be found all around the world, but this specific type of spiny dogfish lives in the Pacific ocean. Spiny dogfish in the northern Pacific Ocean have recently been reevaluated and found to constitute a separate species, now known as the Pacific spiny dogfish.

Threats to Humans
The Pacific dogfish poses no immediate threat to humans. It is rare to hear about this type of shark attacking and injuring humans. The only significant way that the Pacific dogfish can cause harm to a human is if a person get near the poisonous spikes that are located at the dorsal fin.

Human Threats
The status of this species has been threatened over the past years by humans. This species is very vulnerable and has been suffering from overfishing which is having a significant effect on the Pacific dogfish population. In the 1980s and the 1990s, the National Marine Fisheries Service influenced fisheries and fisherman to fish out the spiny dogfish because other types of valuable fish populations were declining due to overfishing. Since all fisheries started to target the spiny dogfish population, their population started to rapidly decrease and became a threatened species. During the 1990s, there was a 75% reduction in female mature dogfish because dogfish fisheries started to increase. Fisherman and fisheries usually target female dogfish because they are larger in size than males. Fisherman also target female dogfish because since they are larger in size, it is easier for fisheries to hold and cut them. From the start of 1998, people began to see that this population of spiny dogfish was declining, so the National Marine Fisheries Service decided to implement restrictions in the federal waters to help the population regrow. The human race is threatening this species because dogfish is in high demand for food delicacies because the decline of other fish populations. Scientists also ask for fisheries to fish out dogfish because they can secrete the molecule squalamine which is an aminosterol compound with potent broad spectrum antimicrobial activity discovered in the tissues. Scientists use this compound as an antibiotic for people with cancer.

Threats from other Species
The main species of animals that threaten the Pacific dogfish population are sharks, killer Whales, seals, and larger bony fishes. There would be a lot more predators of the Pacific dogfish if it wasn't for their size and aggressive nature, but mainly why these animals are not attacked is because poisonous spikes which are attached to the shark's dorsal fin which can be lethal to any predator who tries to attack and consume the Pacific dogfish.

Migration
The Pacific dogfish usually undertake long migrations depending on the fluctuation of food that is available in the ocean and also depending on the temperature of the water. Due to the changing temperature of the ocean, the dogfish usually migrate north in the spring and summer and they usually migrate south in the fall and winter. This aquatic species is know to migrate seasonally off the shores of Canada. gran The species is known to travel a long way during migration. Some travel as long as 5,000 miles. There have been some researchers who have suggested that the species do not mass migrate, only a small percentage of the spiny dogfish do based off their scientific research and evidence.

Lead Section
The instructions that have been written on this Wikipedia page have been designed to help Wikipedia users write a well-informed Wikipedia article. These instructions closely examine the sub-genre of food articles and gives an in depth look on how to create a well-written food article. There are two main food articles that I studied to create this instruction on how to create a food article, which are the articles crab dip and gumbo. From these instructions, you will see the comparisons of these two articles and you will understand what is needed to create a good article.

Consistency
Being able to write with consistency allows readers to follow the writing from the Wikipedia page more easily. This doesn't particularly just consists of your writing but how your portray it. For example, all Wikipedia pages consist of page titles, headings, and sub-headings. In the Wikipedia page for gumbo, they have the page title, gumbo, then different headings with sub-headings under some of the headings.

Hyperlinks
A hyperlink is link that references information about a certain topic by just clicking on a specific hyperlink where the link shall take you to another web page. Hyperlinks are good way to intertwine information within a Wikipedia page, while also providing neatness to the Wikipedia article. For example, if you are on the article crap dip, there will probably be a hyperlink to crabs, since it is the main ingredient in the dip, and that will take you to the Wikipedia article on crabs.

Length
In order to right a well-created Wikipedia article, the article needs to written in depth with much detail to explain the main ideas or points of the topic. If anyone were to write a Wikipedia page on food, I examined two food articles that consisted of crab dip and gumbo. When analyzing both of these articles, the average length of the two articles is 1,880 words. The crap dip article had a word count of 533, without references, while the article on gumbo consisted of 3,330 words. A Wikipedia article should be in between the length of 1,000 words to 2,000. Through these two articles, we see that one article has not reached the mark while the other has exceed the maximum mark. The best way to write a good Wikipedia article is by meeting somewhere in the middle for these articles. By doing so, you will reach the mark for having enough depth while not having too much or not enough depth within the article. Too much information can cause the reader to drift, so making sure you are at a good length will keep the readers' attention.

Bias
Another factor to succeed in writing a good Wikipedia article is writing with non- bias. Wikipedia articles should not be written with bias because you are providing information about a topic with credible sources, not trying to prove a point or influence others. Wikipedia follows a natural point of view policy. Wikipedia's "natural point of view" means that it is not biased toward one matter. Wikipedia writers make sure that the article is written from the point of knowledge rather than arguing for a controversial topic. Wikipedia writers usually write from many different perspectives to show each of the views and not just a particular one.

Lead Section
In social psychology, a stereotype is any thought widely adopted about specific types of individuals or certain ways of behaving intended to represent the entire group of those individuals or behaviors as a whole. These thoughts or beliefs may or may not accurately reflect reality. However, this is only a fundamental psychological definition of a stereotype. Within psychology and spanning across other disciplines, there are different conceptualizations and theories of stereotyping that provide their own expanded definition. Some of these definitions share commonalities, though each one may also harbor unique aspects that may contradict the others. Different disciplines give different accounts of how stereotypes develop: Psychologists may focus on an individual's experience with groups, patterns of communication about those groups, and intergroup conflict. As for sociologists, they may focus on the relations among different groups in a social structure. They suggest that stereotypes are the result of conflict, poor parenting, and inadequate mental and emotional development. Stereotypes can have powerful effects on individuals and certain groups of people. Stereotypes can lead to discrimination in labor markets and other domains. Stereotype-based expectations may lead to self-fulfilling prophecies, in which one's inaccurate expectations about a person's behavior, through social interaction, prompt that person to act in stereotype-consistent ways. Stereotypes can affect self-evaluations and lead to self-stereotyping as well.

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Battle of Dunbar (1650)/archive1

Battle of Dunbar (1650)

 * Nominator(s): Gog the Mild, Girth Summit  (blether)  10:20, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

This article is about the first major battle in the Third English Civil War, between the New Model Army under Oliver Cromwell, and a Scottish army under the command of David Leslie. and I rewrote it between May and July of this year, with assistance from who made the maps of the battle. We have attempted to set out the series of events that led up to the conflict, describe the opposing forces, give an account of the battle itself, and explain what happened in the aftermath of the battle and why it was significant. There is also a brief description of the current condition of the battlefield. Since we published the article, it has been reviewed for GA and DYK; we hope that it's now ready for consideration as a featured article, and humbly present it for review. Girth Summit  (blether) 10:20, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Harrias
This might be something of a bits and pieces review, with me dropping in and adding more as I have time. As always, feel free to argue discuss any points: unless I am quoting a specific MOS, it is probably just my personal preference, rather than a requirement. I will probably claim WikiCup points for this review. Harrias talk 11:29, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Lead
 * "The Scots withdrew to Edinburgh stripping the land of provisions." Add a comma after Edinburgh.
 * Done.

 * "Due to the terrain Lesley.." Leslie?
 * Done.

 * Link cavalry and infantry on first use.
 * Done.

 * Link "reserve" to Military reserve.
 * Done.

Background
 * "In England Charles's supporters.." Personally, I would prefer a comma after England.
 * Done.

 * Link Royalists to Cavalier and Parliamentarians to Roundhead.
 * Done; roundhead linked to "English parliamentarian" - to distinguish from the Scottish type.

 * "Charles now engaged.." replace "now" with "then".
 * Done.

 * "He rejected these as well however.." No need for "however", cut it.
 * Done.

 * "..by act of parliament.." I think "Act" should be capitalised.
 * Why? It is referring to a general, non-specific act, not to a specific act which would make it a proper noun.
 * Both Oxford and Cambridge dictionaries capitalise it even in the general usage, "An Act of Parliament", as does the UK Parliament. Harrias  talk 12:25, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * So? Wat matters is MOS:CAPS which I believe requires a lower case a. But I don't much care, so capitalised. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:44, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I might be misremembering how a dictionary works, but I thought that when they capitalised it, that meant they defined it as a proper noun, which would mean that MOS:CAPS requires it to be capitalised? Anyway, if you've changed it, I guess it is academic. Harrias  talk 13:05, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I have no idea why they capitalise it. The Cambridge Dictionary says that a proper noun is "the name of a particular person, place, or object that is spelled with a capital letter". So act of parliament used in a general sense, as it is here, cannot be a proper noun. (It's not a "particular ... object [thing]".) As you say, academic now. Gog the Mild (talk) 13:32, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I've been looking through the major broadsheets and books sources, and there is a mix. If you want to return it back to lower case, I won't object. I think essentially you could argue this either way, so applying the logic of MOS:RETAIN might be best. Harrias  talk 06:50, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

 * There are a few titles/positions throughout where the capitalisation needs looking at. Check out MOS:JOBTITLES: for example, based on that MOS, "They pressured Thomas Fairfax, lord general of the New Model Army" should either be "They pressured Thomas Fairfax, Lord General of the New Model Army or "They pressured Thomas Fairfax, the lord general of the New Model Army. Similarly, in the lead, I think "of Charles II as king of Britain" should either be "of Charles II as King of Britain or "of Charles II as the king of Britain". There are more through these two sections. Honestly, overall, I find this a confusing area, so definitely feel free to shout back at me if you think I'm misinterpreting the MOS.
 * That section of the MoS has something been something of an area of special interest to me since I first became active here. This does not of course mean that I am necessarily interpreting it correctly, but I believe that the current usages, specifically the two you mention, are MoS compliant.

That's it so far, reviewed to the end of the Background section. Harrias talk 11:29, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Thanks for that . All good stuff. All of your points addressed above. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:14, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Prelude Opposing forces
 * "..by a night raid by a party.." The repetition of "by a" made me stumble through this sentence; try to reword to improve the flow.
 * Looks like this has been done. Girth Summit  (blether)  15:55, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Wikilink "rank" on first use.
 * Done.

 * It might be worth mentioning, maybe just in note 3, that musket butts were typically steel-lined for battle.
 * Good idea, do you have a source for this?
 * Sure, .  Harrias  talk 16:02, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Cheers.

 * "..to some 45 centimetres (18 in) per man.." In this instance, I think "roughly" or "around" would suit better than "some".
 *<EMAIL_ADDRESS>

 * "..more expensive then matchlock ones.." "than", not "then".
 * Done.

 * Wikilink "lances".
 * Done.

 * If you want to use "supernumerary", it's going to need a wiktionary link: I think substituting for a simpler word might be more accessible though.
 * Wiktionary link added.

 * "A high proportion of the remainder were ill.." Okay, so we started with 16,289: minus 2,000 odd makes roughly 14,000. Cromwell says that 11,000 were "sound". That leaves around 20% ill: is that a "high proportion"? (Using Royle's figure it would be more like 15%.)
 * Nice OR. I have unpacked my summary style to give the source's numbers and left it for a reader to decide how serious they are.

 * The final paragraph, about the artillery duplicates a lot of the information given in the artillery section before it.
 * I know, but it's one sentence and I struggle to see how I can subtract information from either without making them read badly or even incoherently.

Battle
 * "The whole Scottish army stood-to and the English withdrew slightly, maintaining patrols to try and ensure that the Scots were unaware of the manoeuvres going on behind them." Because it hasn't been explicitly mentioned that the English were manoeuvring, this is a bit confusing on first read; even though I theoretically knew what was happening, my first thought was that something was happening behind the Scottish lines.
 * Ah, yes, I can see that. I have moved the "In the foul weather it took the English army all night to reposition in preparation for the planned pre-dawn assault" sentence to the start of this paragraph. Does that remove the ambiguity? Gog the Mild (talk) 11:48, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

 * "..and Major General James Holborn ordered.." and later, "..2,000 men under James Holborne..". Pick a consistent spelling, and move the wikilink to the first usage.
 * Sorry. The sources don't agree - that always confuses me. (There is even a Holburne!) Fixed. And moved.

 * "A little further downstream of Brand's Mill the English field artillery had set up.." Is it not upstream?
 * Yep. (It's down on the map!) Fixed.

Reviewed to the end of the Preparation section. Harrias talk 07:36, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Remove the link to Edinburgh from the Prelude section, per MOS:OVERLINK (also, the first mention comes earlier, in the background section.
 * Done

 * "In the confusion Pride's regiments came into action piecemeal and the leftmost (Lambert's) only engaged stragglers in the vicinity of Little Pinkerton." I'm confused at the mention of "Lambert's" here: is this a different Lambert to the cavalry commander? It sounds like it is talking about a regiment commander serving under Pride, but that doesn't fit the Lambert mentioned previously...
 * Outstanding. Harrias  talk 12:14, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The name of the regiment is "Lambert's Regiment". Similarly one of the regiments in Monck's brigade was called Monck's Regiment. I could delete "(Lambert's)", which may be easiest. Or add an explanatory footnote. I think that trying to explain inline is going to wreck the flow.
 * I'd just remove it altogether, it doesn't add much, and is just likely to cause confusion. Harrias  talk 13:20, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

 * "..sang the "117th Psalm"." Modern usage favours "Psalm 117", rather than "117th Psalm".
 * Truly? I have never even heard of that usage. (It reads like a typo to me.) You are aware that this is in British English? Quickly checking six sources I find two 117th's and no "psalm 117's". Gog the Mild (talk) 11:48, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Definitely. Just double checked with my wife, who was an altar server and sang in a church choir for years. Harrias  talk 12:14, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * And one of those Ngram things that CPA likes: . Harrias  talk 12:20, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * If you listen carefully, you can hear me being dragged into the 20th century. Done. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:34, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

 * "..refused to take orders from him, and left Leslie's forces to join a new army that was being raised by the Western Association." There is a little ambiguity in this sentence at the moment: it might be tighter as "..refused to take orders from him, left Leslie's forces, and joined a new army that was being raised by the Western Association."
 * Done

 * "..had been put in a worldly prince.." Leslie? "worldly prince" could do with a bit more context and expansion; it's an odd phrase to stick with outside a quotation.
 * Charles II was the worldly prince, not Leslie (prince in the broader sense of the word, to encompass kingship). He'd signed the covenants, but they knew he'd been pushed into it and thought they were being punished for getting into bed with someone who wasn't a true believer. I've just changed this to 'Charles II'

 * The aftermath section seems excessively long and detailed to me, most of it is, or should be, covered in the Third English Civil War, and a potential English invasion of Scotland 1650–1651 article.
 * Outstanding. Harrias  talk 12:14, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * this was mostly your work. What do you think? (Harrias has a tendency in my experience to prefer more succinct backgrounds and aftermaths than me or most other reviewers. This doesn't, of course, make them wrong. Either in general or in this case.) Gog the Mild (talk) 12:34, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Mm - missed this. I think that our article on the Third English Civil War could, and should, be expanded upon, and it's very likely that the ground we cover here would also be covered in such an article - but, I'd suggest that we would need to do it in more depth there. What we provide here is four paragraphs (two of them very brief) covering the immediate effects of the battle on the government and military preparedness of Scotland (i.e. that the cracks between the competing factions were greatly widened, and Leslie's remaining men started deserting to join a different army - divided we fall, etc), and then three paragraphs skimming quickly over the rest of the campaign, which is closely linked to Dunbar in the sources (as exemplified by the Coward quote we provide). So unless isn't going to put us to the push of pike on this, I would resist any major trimming to this section.  Girth Summit  (blether)  12:51, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * To be fair Gog, I complained that the aftermath section in your last FAC was too short, I think. Simply put, I think the current aftermath violates FACR #4: "going into unnecessary detail". For example, the point at which I really started thinking it had gone too far was when we started going into detail about the sacking of Dundee. In the context of the Battle of Dunbar, "Dundee, the last significant Scottish stronghold, fell on 1 September; Monck's troops sacked the town, and several hundred civilians, including women and children, were killed. Monck admitted to 500, but the total may have been as high as 1,000. Monck then allowed the army 24 hours for looting and a large amount of booty was seized. Subsequently, strict military discipline was enforced." could have been simply "Dundee, the last significant Scottish stronghold, fell on 1 September." That is just one example, but I think throughout the section, some of the detail could be plucked out, leaving the framework intact. Yes, it is all good information, but this just isn't the place for the detail: that should go elsewhere. Harrias  talk 13:27, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hmph - I am here upon an engagement very difficult. I've trimmed Dundee, and also cut a couple of sentences from the end about nature of Scottish government in the years after the defeat. How do you feel about it now? Girth Summit  (blether)  13:37, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

 * "the Brox burn" "Broxburn"?
 * Done

That's it from me I think. Harrias talk 14:03, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks Harrias - I've done most of these, leaving two for as they concern the bits of the article/sourcing he's more familiar with.  Girth Summit  (blether)  10:30, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

 * I have commented on the two outstanding issues. Gog the Mild (talk) 11:48, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Replied, and marked two more that I haven't seen responses to. Harrias  talk 12:14, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Why does the article now seem to go back in time at the start of the Outflanking manoeuvre section? After a few hours of fighting, we finish the previous section saying that "The battle hung in the balance". But then, we go right back to "By around 4:00 am.." again? Harrias talk 13:50, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I think that was some changes GtM made in the last hour or so to address some of Cassianto's comments -, do you want to pick back through your last few edits and make it say what it's meant to? Girth Summit  (blether)  13:54, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Sorry, and thanks . A sentence which I inserted into the middle of Preparation for Cassianto somehow also got pasted to the start of Flank attack and I didn't notice. Fixed. Probably time for me to take a break. Gog the Mild (talk) 14:11, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

 * The image page for the Dunbar victory medal says that "It is believed to be the first medal to be granted to all the ranks of an army." If we have a RS that backs that up, then that should really be in the article. Even if not, it feels odd having an image of something that is not mentioned at all in the article; work it in somehow. (Yes, I know, I was asking for the aftermath to be trimmed, and now I'm asking for stuff to be added. But this seems more relevant to the subject of this article than a lot of what is present in the article at the moment.) Harrias  talk 09:15, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, if you have a RS for this I would be happy to see it. Frankly it sounds like a hobbyist's opinion to me. None of the sources I have looked at in putting this together have mentioned this hypothesis, and you wouldn't think that it is the sort of thing eight or ten academics would miss. At near random the National Portrait Gallery, for example, makes no mention of this. Gog the Mild (talk) 11:46, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I certainly don't have an RS for it. If nothing more, the caption should be expanded a little to provide greater context, and cited. At the moment, the article does not make it clear what the medal is. Harrias  talk 13:19, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Done. Gog the Mild (talk) 13:51, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

 * The infobox does not summarise the full range of casualty estimates given in the prose; looking, it seems to largely adopt Reid's figures. The prose accepts that "Several modern secondary sources accept" Cromwell's figures: if that is the case, the infobox should include that full range of estimates, surely?
 * I'm not sure that I quite agree that that's what we're doing. Cromwell claims 10,000 "killed or captured", but doesn't differentiate how many of each, and since he says he let many of them go the following day I'd argue that they wouldn't fall into the 'prisoners' category. I think that figures in the infobox represent the most specific numbers we can get at for estimates of those actually killed, those wounded, and those actually taken south as prisoners. Does that allay your concern?
 * "killed near four thousand" vs "300–500 killed"? Harrias  talk 16:35, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Damn - you're right, I misread (misglanced ought to be a word) that. I'll remind myself tomorrow what Woolrych and Furgol actually say about this and think about how best to address this. Girth Summit  (blether)  16:49, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * OK, I've checked them both. Furgol states 4,000 killed, Woolrych gives it as over 3,000. To put that into context though - neither of them give the source for those figures, or discuss them in any detail, they each just report the figures as fact in single sentences. These are fairly broad histories of the whole campaign, each giving the battle less than a page - for details like this, I am inclined to put much more weight in studies of the battle itself which discuss their methodologies, rather than a brief mention from someone who probably just needed to find a number to stick in to round off the section.
 * I wonder whether there would be scope in the infobox for us to be a bit more specific - is it possible/acceptable for us to put three ranges in there along the lines of:
 * Cromwell's report: nearly 4,000
 * Balfour's estimate: 800-900
 * Modern estimate: 300-500
 * I just don't see how putting in a range as broad as 300-4000 is helpful for the reader - people would probably interpret is as a typo, with either a missing 0 or an extra 0, and scratch their heads! Girth Summit  (blether)  14:18, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I should point out that for this reason, I often omit the casualty field from infoboxes completely for battles where it isn't possibly to give relatively precise figures. I should also point out that I get moaned at during reviews for not having it. Possibly, we could just quote the "modern estimates" in the infobox, with a footnote including an explanation that only the modern estimates are given, and providing the other figures? Harrias  talk 17:51, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I like that idea, and will do it once I get a moment. Gog the Mild (talk) 18:32, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I started to do this, and realised that all I was doing was copying much of the information from the "casualties" section into the note, which seemed pointless. So instead I have added a short note and a link under the Scottish casualties in the infobox specifically directing readers to the "Casualties" section for further information. Will that suffice? Gog the Mild (talk) 16:25, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

 * "Stewart, Laura A.M. (2017)." doesn't seems to be used anymore: either use her, or ditch her.
 * You heard it here first,  ;)   ——  Serial  16:05, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

That's pretty much it; this is a great article, sorry to have been such a nitpick through this review! Harrias talk 15:50, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I've removed Stewart - I think it would be odd to omit her entirely, since she's one of the main scholars working on the Scottish government of this period (plus she's actually read over this article a couple of times and given us some feedback) but we're still using her 2016 book - the stuff about Dundee can go into another article about the campaign itself. Girth Summit  (blether)  16:28, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, sorry, I wasn't suggesting removing the other reference, just that unused one needed to be used or removed, which you've done, so that's all to the good. Harrias  talk 16:35, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Support – sorry for the delay; holiday and all that. Great article, nice work etc. etc. Harrias  talk 09:39, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

Image review

 * At least the first map should include a legend indicating what the colours and patterns mean, and the image description pages should include sourcing
 * Both done. Gog the Mild (talk) 11:13, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Suggest adding alt text
 * I've added alt text -, please check you agree with my text and amend as you see fit. Girth Summit  (blether)  10:27, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Looks good to me. I have added mine. Would you care to repay the favour? Gog the Mild (talk) 16:44, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * there was what looked like a rogue paste, I've fixed, the rest looks good to me. How confident are you on PD US tags - do you think I've added it correctly to the portrait of Cromwell? Girth Summit  (blether)  16:47, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks.
 * Well, I do the occasional, more simple, FAC image review, and IMO yes. Gog the Mild (talk) 16:52, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

 * File:Oliver_Cromwell_by_Samuel_Cooper.jpg needs a US PD tag
 * File:David_Leslie,_Lord_Newark_portrait_(cropped).jpg needs a US PD tag and a publication date
 * Done. Gog the Mild (talk) 11:13, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Er, there don't appear to have been any changes made? Nikkimaria (talk) 16:17, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , apologies. I don't know what went wrong. I remember doing the research and thought that I had seen it on the page. I assume that I forgot to click Publish or something equally stupid. Now (re)done and apologies again. Gog the Mild (talk) 16:52, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

 * File:Battle_of_Dunbar_medal.jpg needs a US PD tag. Nikkimaria (talk) 23:20, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Done. Gog the Mild (talk) 11:13, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Nikkimaria, I've added a PD US tag to the Cromwell portrait - can you confirm whether I've done it correctly? I'll need to do a bit more research to do the other images, but want to ensure I didn't make a mess of the first one. Girth Summit  (blether)  10:27, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * That's fine, although I'd suggest removing the duplicate tag. Nikkimaria (talk) 20:49, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I've removed what I think was the duplicate tag, please check to ensure I've done it properly (sorry, this isn't an area I'm very experienced in, trying to pick it up). Gog added the remaining two pictures that are missing tags, so I'll let him review what tags should be added to them. Girth Summit  (blether)  12:12, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi and many thanks for going through the images. I believe that all of youcomments have now been actioned. Gog the Mild (talk) 16:08, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , did you spot NM's comment above? Girth Summit  (blether)  07:09, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I hadn't. Thanks. That is very odd. I remember doing the research. I assume that I forgot to click Publish or something. I can remember where it was and I'll redo the necessary tomorrow. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:25, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Funk

 * This'll only be my second review of a Scottish history-related article after Gog's Siege of Berwick (1333), and since my grandmother was Scottish and we know little about her side of the family, it'll be interesting to read. FunkMonk (talk) 23:25, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Infantry and cavalry appears to be duplinked.
 * I've removed duplinks
 * Maybe the roles of the people shown could be stated in the image captions? Now it's just names without context.
 * I've expanded their captions slightly
 * Some of the really small images could maybe benefit form being default size?
 * Which images are you thinking of?
 * "An English lobster-tailed pot helmet" and "The Dunbar victory medal". FunkMonk (talk) 02:37, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I have enlarged a number of the images. Gog the Mild (talk) 15:58, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

 * The white space under Outflanking manoeuvre is kind of unfortunate. Maybe the many maps on the right could be arranged horizontally (in a sort of gallery og sequential images) to prevent it? That could also ope up space for more images in those sections if available.
 * At the moment the maps are arranged so as to sit next to the description of the part of the battle they illustrate. I'd be concerned that they would be less helpful if separated from the text and presented horizontally as you suggest; perhaps has some thoughts on that?
 * If it fits the adjacent text of each, it should be ok then. FunkMonk (talk) 02:37, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

 * "Civil War reenactors" Could there be a more specific caption? is it showing the third English civil war as would be relevant?
 * According to the description, this is a reenactment of a siege of the First English Civil War. I don't think it matters enormously though, that was just a few years prior to Dunbar and I don't think there were any major changes in equipment that you would notice in a photograph - calling them 'civil war reenactors' is accurate, and the relevance to this article should be clear.
 * I agree with . The First, Second and Third English Civil Wars started and finished within 9 years and 12 days, with no discernable changes in dress or equipment. Gog the Mild (talk) 16:58, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your review and comments - I've addressed some of them, and made a few of my own, above.  Girth Summit  (blether)  15:53, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

 * "reform the Scottish Kirk" Interesting it's called that, being a Danish speaker, where church is "kirke", this seems to be a Norse loanword. But the Church of Scotland article doesn't give an etymology (not that you have to do anything about it)...
 * I'm not an etymologist, but my assumption would be that the English 'church' and the Scots 'kirk' are both descended from the same north-Germanic word, but that the English variant has had the 'k' softened to 'ch' over time. That's a completely unsupportable guess though! Certainly both words must come from Germanic sources, rather than the Latin 'ecclesia' (which is used in Scots Gaelic, 'eaglais', and in French 'église', which is where most of our non-Germanic words come from).
 * The kirk article seems to have it, though with no source: "Whereas church displays Old English palatalisation, kirk is a loanword from Old Norse and thus retains the original mainland Germanic consonants. Compare cognates: Icelandic & Faroese kirkja; Swedish kyrka; Norwegian (Nynorsk) kyrkje; Danish and Norwegian (Bokmål) kirke". FunkMonk (talk) 13:20, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

 * "A contemporary English view of the Scots imposing conditions on Charles II in return for their support" Link Charles II in caption?
 * Done
 * "Cromwell at Dunbar, by Andrew Carrick Gow" Give year for painting, so we know it's not contemporary?
 * Done
 * Link dysentery?
 * Done
 * "with about one metre" you convert other length measurements, why not here?
 * Done
 * "Most of the English cavalry were mounted on large, for the time, horses." Do we know which breed?
 * I don't know, and I suspect that wasn't standardised, but might have more on this.
 * I haven't come across a source which mentions this. My OR guess would be that they bought or otherwise acquired the heaviest horses they could and didn't worry too much about the breed. Gog the Mild (talk) 16:58, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

 * "3 to 20 pounds (1.4 to 9 kg)" For length measurements here, you give the metric number first, why the disrepancy?
 * I see this as the difference between describing a thing, and naming a thing. Pikes were just pikes - they had a standard length, which we can describe in modern units. Historically speaking though, a three pound gun was a thing, distinct from a nine pound gun. I think it makes sense to give the calibres in the units that would have been used at the time, and then to give the metric equivalent to help the reader understand what that meant.
 * Yep. Imagine writing Four Kilogramme Hammer. Gog the Mild (talk) 16:58, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
 * More responses above . I'd like to hear Gog's thoughts before changing the image sizes (he wrote those sections and selected the images). Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:script;color:blue;"> (blether)  15:16, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

 * "In September 2015 archaeologists announced" Is the month of any significance?
 * No. But as we have the information would you wish us to leave it out? (I assume that if it read 'in the 21st century you would ask us to be more precise?)
 * Not a big deal either way. FunkMonk (talk) 22:00, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Mass grave is linked at second mention.
 * Fixed

 * Link Ford (crossing)? I didn't know what it was...
 * Done.

 * Any photos of the locations involved today?
 * Possibly. Let me have a search.
 * , I found this, which shows a (rather naff) commemorative plaque, and this which shows the view from the top of Doon Hill down onto the battlefield, but if I'm honest I don't think they would really add anything to the article, either in terms of informing the reader, or merely as decorations.  Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:script;color:blue;"> (blether)  15:06, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I think they'd add some nice flavour to the article, especially the plaque maybe, since it shows the event's significance even today, and reflects the text about the mass grave. But of course, it's up to you. FunkMonk (talk) 15:12, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm inclined to agree with GS, but who are we to argue with a reviewer. I have found a couple of bland landscape shots which could perhaps be worked into the battle section, but I think that the plaque in the last section is our best bet. Gog the Mild (talk) 15:21, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I uploaded the image to commons, and have added it to the relevant section - feel free to tinker with size, placement. Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:script;color:blue;"> (blether)  10:21, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Nice! FunkMonk (talk) 10:37, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

 * "Despite Cromwell's army being greatly weakened by sickness and lack of food, the battle was decisively won by the English force." Shouldn't it for balance then also be mentioned that the Scottish forces were weakened by religious purges, which the article makes a big deal of?
 * Good point. I have trimmed the first paragraph and moved both of these points to the end of the second.

 * I wonder if the The Dunbar victory medal image should be shown under English conquest instead of casualties, where it seems a bit misplaced?
 * Moved. Gog the Mild (talk) 13:55, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Support - this was an exciting read, the last point with the modern day photos of the locations would be nice, but is of course not essential for support. FunkMonk (talk) 22:00, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Comments from Cassianto
I've read from top to bottom and enjoyed it very much. A few comments:

 * Preparation
 * "In the foul weather it took the English army" -- not liking "foul" here - "bad" is better.
 * I am not at all keen on "bad" - although you're the reviewer, so I will use it if pushed. As a poor second, how would you feel about "stormy"?
 * I am indeed a reviewer, but you are the nominator so the decision to adopt any suggestion I make is entirely down to you - I certainly won't push you to adopt anything you don't feel comfortable using.  Cassianto Talk  12:32, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I am very aware that nominators (even me!) get close to their creations, and that a first response can be defensive. I suspect that that is partially what is happening here. So even when I don't like a suggestion I try to take a reviewer's PoV on board. I suspect that in my response above you could see the cogs going round. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:39, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 'Inclement weather'? 'Typical Scottish summer weather'? More seriously, 'Adverse weather conditions?' Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:script;color:blue;"> (blether)  11:59, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Surely "typical" is redundant. I like "In the adverse weather conditions". Gog the Mild (talk) 12:03, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * So do I. Let's go for that.  Cassianto Talk  12:32, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Done. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:39, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

 * "...without any overrunning them and alerting the Scots." -- could this be looked at again as it's not quite making sense.
 * Rephrased as "By around 4:00 am all of the English reached at least approximately their intended positions; none had gone past them in the dark and blundered into and so alerted the Scots."
 * "all of the English"...what? Sounds clunky.  -- I can't even reword this last part as I can't make head nor tail of it."   Cassianto Talk  12:32, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

 * What I am trying to say, obviously ineptly, is that in the dark it would be the easiest thing in the world for an English unit to advance a little too far, past its designated jumping off point, blunder into the Scottish outposts or even units, start a firefight and completely remove the "surprise" element of the surprise attack. It would be even easier to simply get lost and not reach their jumping off point in time, or at all. That A) all of them more or less found their positions and B) none did overrun them are two separate minor miracles. An entire army redeploying to attack in the face of the enemy and in the dark! It speaks to very well trained troops and the possibility that God was indeed smiling on Cromwell. It is the sort of thing that the greatest of generals never tried, because they never thought that they could pull it off.
 * Now, how do I get that into a succinct and comprehensible sentence? Gog the Mild (talk) 12:50, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * How about: Or something like that?  Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:script;color:blue;"> (blether)  12:59, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Gah! I mistook that for 's comment and have just used it. Any hoo, Cassianto, does that work for you? Possibly I could put some background into a footnote? Gog the Mild (talk) 13:18, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Support -- all concerns addressed. This is a very good article. Worthy of FA.  Cassianto Talk  15:15, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Initial assault
 * "Reese reports that many of them were new recruits who had only recently joined the brigade." -- are "new recruits" and "only recently joined the brigade" both needed?
 * IMO yes. One could, and they often did, muster a new regiment consisting entirely of veterans. Recently joined/been around awhile and raw/veteran aren't (necessarily) interchangeable. Gog the Mild (talk) 10:24, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, understood.  Cassianto Talk  22:23, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Outflanking manoeuvre
 * "Just what happened next, as with so much of this battle, is contested." -- I don't like this line. It sounds too conversational.  Is there a way of reworking it?  For example, "just" is not needed at all.
 * Fair enough. Changed to "As with other aspects of the battle, the sources differ regarding what happened next." How's that?

 * "The Scottish cavalry holding Cockburnpath Defile and most of the defeated Scottish cavalry from their right wing rode a wide loop south and then west of Doon Hill to rejoin Leslie's main force as it withdrew towards their forward base at Haddington, 8 miles (13 km) to the west of the battlefield." -- this seems awfully long not to have any punctuation in it and it makes it quite difficult to read.
 * Split in two. See if that reads better

 * "Entirely separately the English cavalry gradually got the better of their Scottish counterparts..." Could this sentence be understood just as much without the (in my view) unneeded adjective?
 * "Entirely separately" binned; replaced with "meanwhile".

 * Scottish response
 * "The more practical blamed the purges for Leslie's defeat" -- not much sense is being made my end with regards to this sentence. It may be down to punctuation...?
 * I've rephrased this a bit, hopefully makes more sense now? I'll be slopey-shouldered and leave GtM to consider the points above, that is his prose and he has the sources. Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:script;color:blue;"> (blether)  14:54, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

 Cassianto Talk  09:45, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Apologies for taking so long to get back to you on this. I think that between us we have addressed all of the points you have raised so far. Any more to come? Gog the Mild (talk) 21:36, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Cromwell's own fist re. Dunbar
If anyone has—or knows anyone with, perhaps—access to the National Library of Scotland, they could photograph this, a Letter of Oliver Cromwell to the Committee for the Army concerning the medal to commemorate the Battle of Dunbar. would apply for the license and might add something to the aftermath section, mirroring as it does the photo of the medal itself. —— Serial  17:58, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I know several people with access to the NLS, and I expect that I could twist one person in particular's arm to get a picture of this for us at some point - not sure when though, I believe the building's open again but term time is starting, not sure when a trip to Edinburgh will be possible. Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:script;color:blue;"> (blether)  16:30, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I spoke to a certain someone with access to the NLS - she doesn't think this will fly. Having used images from the NLS for books in the past, she says that they are very cagey about allowing you to take photographs - you have to sign agreements that they are only for private use, or you have to pay them significant whacks of cash if you want to distribute them. So, this isn't looking like something we'll be able to get hold of in the short term. :( Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:script;color:blue;"> (blether)  10:40, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Who said the age of institutional heritage banditry was done? OK, nevermind. ——  Serial  13:58, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Source review - spotchecks not done
 * BBC News is not an author. Ditto Durham University
 * Removed.

 * Be consistent in how you order refs without named authors
 * I think they're now ordered alphabetically, based on how they're presented to the reader.

 * National Portrait Gallery should just be listed as publisher
 * Done.

 * Dow title should use endash
 * Done.

 * Be consistent in how you punctuate refs with multiple authors
 * - I've looked at this, and I can see what NM is talking about - Hutton and Reeves gets an ampersand, but Ffoulks and Hopkinson don't, for example. I can't see a difference in how we're putting the information into the Cite Book format though - why are they appearing differently? Is it because Ffoulks and Hopkinson have middle names do you think? Or can your eyes see something mine are missing? Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:script;color:blue;"> (blether)  10:31, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * It's because Ffoulkes and Hopkinson were missing "|lastauthoramp=y" which I have added. Gog the Mild (talk) 11:10, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah - good spot, hadn't noticed that field.

 * Reese and Wanklyn have the same publisher but it's formatted differently.
 * Fixed.

Ditto Dow and Young.
 * Fixed.

Nikkimaria (talk) 23:21, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I think that's all done now, thank you. Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:script;color:blue;"> (blether)  11:36, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Good to go. Nikkimaria (talk) 12:19, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Distributed Virtual Supercomputer

There are many individual projects and tasks which will require some computer resources beyond the reach of most individuals on the planet. This project is to establish a portal and a community of dedicated Wikiversity enthusiasts who can develop familiarity, skills and expertise suitable in the medium term for setting up distributed virtual supercomputing at Wikiversity. This will allow the participants' computers in screen saver mode to support each others projects.

Example projects might be high quality rendering or post processing for a large group project or an ambitious mathematical simulation regarding a current topic of big science.

Step 1
Establish teams titled wikiversity.org at already well established BOINC project.

Teams established

 * Rosetta@home
 * Einstein@home

Other good candidate projects

 * Seti@Home
 * Predictor@Home
 * Many others here - like Screensaver Project

Step 2
Participants begin joining screensaver computing teams in large numbers and building familarity with environment.
 * Task 0 Join the Wikiversity Mailing list and help brainstorm this or use the discussion page here.

Step 2.1
People volunteer for specific development tasks or responsibilities and begin discussing details and expanding proposal.

Step 2.2
When sufficient interest has arisen consider a mailing list or sourceforge project style forum to allow software developers to coordinate with seed hardware administrators, contributing philanthropists and client projects at Wikiversity.

 * Our developers may wish to congregate at sites such as this for specific discussions in depth of the BOINC technology specifically and simultanously at our own local pages specialized in Wikiversity's needs and capabilities.

Step 3a
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/vcsc.php

The above link may be different. Last time I checked we needed one off line computer for a security key to establish a computing project. Also a seed server connected 24/7. Initial development might be handled by a low end server and 24/7 DSL or cable service.

 * At the above link it is estimated that a $10,000 server can support thousands (single digit) of computing nodes (desktop screensavers) or approximately a couple of bucks per processing node which probably runs 8 to 16 hours/day.

It looks like the BOINC team is helping us by solving the general problem for us and all other universities. It will still be a lot of work to setup and administer. We need to get started soon to help attract highly qualified and motivated participants to our science and technology programs.

Step 3b
Establish first local BOINC project. A good candidate might be an outreach program of some kind aimed at high schools. U.S. has a lot of high schools with a lot of computers sitting idle two thirds of the 24 hours day.

Step 4
Begin evaluating Wikiversity infrastructure and setting up teams interested in various aspects, layers or chunks of the problem of a distributed reliable grid to support a virtual university. Perhaps answer is for WMF to buy more servers. Parts of the answer may eventually involve large persistent online distributed datastores such as might be available with OceanStore or gnunet.

Step 5
Propose improvement tasks back to WMF for other Wikimedia projects.

Step 6
Setup specific operational virtual computer laboratory projects aimed at educational original research. Berkeley's Open Infrastructure Network Computing (BOINC) recommends experts allow at least several man months to get an initial development system partially up and running. Obviously it will take a merry band of volunteers partime quite a bit more effort and calendar time is subject to who and how many volunteer to learn and do what.

Open source software helpful to the project

 * Sandbox Server - place for coordination of a "Virtual Supercomputer" project
 * gLite
 * GPU, a Global Processing Unit - p2p internet supercomputing framework
 * NetWorkSpaces for Python - Assisting python in distribution of processes.
 * Hadoop
 * BOINC
 * CPU Share
 * paexec
 * GitTorrent

USA-132

USA-132, also known as GPS IIR-2 and GPS SVN-43, is an American navigation satellite which forms part of the Global Positioning System. It was the second Block IIR GPS satellite to be launched, out of thirteen in the original configuration, and twenty one overall. GPS IIR-1 failed to achieve orbit, so USA-132 was the first successful Block IIR satellite. It was built by Lockheed Martin, using the AS-4000 satellite bus.

Launch
USA-132 was launched at 03:43:01 UTC on 23 July 1997, atop a Delta II launch vehicle, flight number D245, flying in the 7925-9.5 configuration. The launch took place from Launch Complex 17A (LC-17A) at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), and placed USA-132 into a transfer orbit. The satellite raised itself into medium Earth orbit using a Star-37FM apogee motor.

Mission
On 22 August 1997, USA-132 was in an orbit with a perigee of 19023 km, an apogee of 20224 km, a period of 713.00 minutes, and 54.90° of inclination to the equator. It is used to broadcast the PRN 13 signal, and operates in slot 3 of plane F of the GPS constellation. The satellite has a mass of 2032 kg, and a design life of 10 years. it remains in service and holds the record for the longest operational GPS satellite.

User:SCJerr/Broadway Store List

Hahn Department Stores was holding company for department stores founded in 1928. It orginally held 22 stores with new ones joining after incorporation. In 1936, the company was recapitalized as Allied Stores Corporation.

Incorporation
Lew Hahn organized the company in December, 1928, creating a holding company for the purpose of acquiring and operating large, well-known department stores in the United States. < >. After going public in early 1929, twenty-two stores were acquired with the criteria of annual sales between $1 million and $10 million with a record of achieving good earnings. Their selection was because they were deemed to be "the most important in their respective sections of the country."

Talk:Dave Knudson (guitarist)

Untitled
Does anyone know if Dave Knudson is a descendant of Chris Knudson, the inventor of the harp guitar? I know Chris Knudson was also from Seattle, also played guitar and of course has the same last name. Coincidence? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rizzelet (talk • contribs) 18:02, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Bethlehem (Christian band)

Bethlehem was a Christian country rock band in the 1970s, during the Jesus Music era, before the rise of the contemporary Christian music industry. The group released one self-titled album in 1978 under the Maranatha! label. The group's sound has drawn comparison with general market bands such as Poco & The Eagles.

Band members were:
 * Danny Daniels: acoustic & electric guitars, lead & backing vocals
 * Dom Franco: Pedal Steel guitar, dobro, vocals
 * Randy Rigby: lead electric guitar, keyboards, vocals
 * John Falcone: bass guitar, vocals
 * Dan McCleery: drums, percussion, vocals

They were connected with the Jesus movement revival, particularly that in southern California centered on Calvary Chapel, Costa Mesa, CA.

It was Recorded during March & April 1978 at North Star Studios, Boulder, Colorado; Buddy King Studio, Huntington Beach, CA; Sound Castle Studio, Hollywood, CA; & Maranatha! Studio, Santa Ana, CA;

Engineered by Peter Gregg, Jonathan Brown & Al Perkins; Mixed by Jonathan Brown & Al Perkins; Mastered by Bob Carbone @ A & M Records;

Talk:Introduction to telecommunications

Misericordia 11:46, 2 November 2006 (UTC) This is fantastic, but I think it is trying to talk about too much in one go. I have tried to break these topics up into their sub categories on the electrical engineering main page. It would perhaps be best to give general outlines here, and link to more detailed lessons in each of the respected areas.

The Cabaret

The Cabaret, formerly the American Cabaret Theatre, is one of four professional theatres in Indianapolis, founded January 9, 1988 and located for many years in the Athenæum. It is a cabaret theatre, typically doing only one "book" show a season, which has included Evita, Little Shop of Horrors (with elements from the movie added), and even the spoken play, A Streetcar Named Desire. Most of its productions center on a theme and are assembled with interstitial material by founder and artistic director Claude McNeal. It has primarily used a stock company of actors including Shannon Forsell (who eventually replaced McNeal as artistic director and CEO), Brenda Williams, Jeff Owen, Tim Spradlin, and Gary DeMumbrum. Jane Lynch, Alan Cumming and Leslie Odom Jr. have all performed there.

In 2008, it went to several other locations, including the Connoisseur Room at 127 E Ohio St, The Columbia Club 121 Monument Circle, Suite 516, 401 East Michigan Street, and The Metzger Building at 9th and Pennsylvania, where it has been located since July 10, 2017. According to its website, dated February 1, 00-9, "In the face of a change in leadership and financial pressures due to a national economic recession the American Cabaret Theatre is restructured into The Cabaret.

The Cabaret’s new business model is unveiled, with the goal of being sustainable in the new economic climate while raising the quality of productions and educational programming."

The website currently quotes Wikipedia's definition of cabaret.

Template talk:Smoke point of cooking oils

Missing smoking points of animal-derived cooking fats / oils such as Ghee (clarified butter), Tallow (rendered form of beef or mutton fat), Duck Fat, Chicken Fat etc. These are widely used in ethnic cooking of many cultures including in the US.

== obvious inconsistency for canola, etc. ==

This is not and edit but I don`t know how else to talk to someone on Wiki. I am asking a question about what difractionated means. I can find fractionated on the internet but there's no reference apart from this article for difractionated. Also, I forgot my password & the new one you sent me didn't work. It wouldn't accept my username or password. I put in my first name, my last name, my sister's name, my pets names but nothing worked, so I signed up again and even then it was hard getting that to work. Why does it keep saying that someone is already using my username or password? It's just me using it. There should be some way to erase my username and password then re-enter them, so I have the original ones that I can remember. Your site doesn't seem user friendly. Meredyth Joy (talk) 04:40, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Difraction redirects to diffraction, suggesting it's either an obsolete or alternative spelling. For an example, see this.

 * Feel free to locate reliable references to the smoke point of the cooking fats missing from the template, then add the relevant information you located to the template with the source citation. That's how Wikipedia has been created over time.

 * For technical problems with how Wikipedia works, or fails to work, I'd probably ask at Help desk. Gzuufy (talk) 19:03, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Portal talk:Music

Moved Sections
I've moved this here:

Should this section be re-added? This is not a wikiversity-layout, but a normal textbook.

Wikiversity School of Music
The wikiversity School of Music should not be used as just another book. Its intention was to become a school in the vein of other Wikiversity departments - offering courses, references to verious wb and non-wb texts, etc. The existing content should be moved to a book called 'music' and then perhaps made as the official textbook for this school.

By the way, I did mention ages ago on the project pages, about the ability to modify mediawiki to include MusicML rendering, to answer your other question.

My proposal is to move the existing content to a book called 'music' or 'music textbook' and reestablish the School of Music as what it should be

James

No!
Keep it as it is!

Ok!
Why not, you can do this if you want to - i have no idea of how to do this..

 * I think it should it should be called school of music Zie afeo (discuss • contribs) 19:13, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

 * There's probably not a lot of advantage to engaging in discussions that are 15 years old. Wikiversity has a School:Music and Dance. Please review Namespaces for more on the differences between schools and portals. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 22:07, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Possibilities for online Music Notation
One way to implement the online display of music notation is to use something like GNU LilyPond. It can be used to generate pictures of music notation from text files on a web server.

I agree with GNU LilyPond because it can output png images and midi files. Someone could put a picture of the tune in the book. The picture could have a link to a midi file, outputed from LilyPond, of the tune. This would be pretty much as functional as niffty--mentioned bellow--but wouldn't require java or anything fancy except a graphical browser.

Another way would be to use some kind of a plug-in, ..or better yet a java applet like NIFFTY: http://niffty.sourceforge.net/

I'd like to be involved here at the wiki School of Music. I think this can really go places. I will be willing to contribute lessons and other training material for particular aspects of music which I'm good at. Some of the things I can see happening here would be style/genre theory and interactive flash tutorials.

Specific intruments?
Hello, Are we looking to do specific instrumental courses? I would like to put a lot of work into beginner to intermediate courses on the trombone. And of course I intend to take an approach to it as a class, not a book. Thanks, --Martin 8 July 2005 21:48 (UTC)

I would so love vocal lessons or at least vocal exercises as a course here. --Chaizzilla 16:30, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey! That's strange - I was interested in posting a bunch of information about the trombone myself so I'm glad I checked the talk page. If someone could answer our question and, perhaps, set up a page where we could start working (I'm not sure of the conventions of how to do that: I just started), that would be great. I am really looking forward to contributing to Wikiversity and the trombone is the only thing that I really feel capable of giving others information about right now. Thanks, Soulaegis April 4, 2006

So ever since April 4 2006 nobody spoke about it any more I mean dis is 2021/2022 Zie afeo (discuss • contribs) 19:16, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Online four-part harmony checker
We have developed an online interactive four part harmony checker for learning how to write cadences online. The web page uses javascript, DHTML and CSS to provide a means for students to enter chord notes. The web page then sounds the adjacent chords and produces output on the page which tells the user the errors they have made with regard to the rules of four part harmony progression. NEW URL: http://bloople.net/scripts/music_mentor.htm

The student can then attempt to fix their errors until the feedback box tells them that no errors have been found. This tool is useful because learning and implementing all the rules of harmony is quite difficult and often requires many attempts before the student is successful. Having this function in an online format means that the student does not need to rub out their own work over and over or wait for a more knowledgable person to check their work. They get immediate feedback so it can save the work of teachers who would otherwise have to spend time checking individuals work. They can also carry this out online and hear the result of their chords rather than moving to and from a keyboard which is what most students do to check their four part harmony.

Another benfit of this page is that it requires no download, it works in a browser. Brenton Fletcher http://blog.bloople.net

Thanks, Rosie and Brenton; on first sight this looks as if it could be a very useful teaching tool. I like the idea of having an online interactive music textbook with tools like yours and I hope other people here do too. Best wishes, David Kernow 00:56, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

How about having explanations of how to do music theory and aural tests?

New contributor
Hello all! My name is John and I'm a third-year composition & theory student at William & Mary. I'd be happy to contribute whatever I can. I've had undergraduate training in counterpoint (including species counterpoint), harmony, and analysis, as well as some extra study in twelve-tone technique and pitch-class set theory, the latter of which I feel I could teach and write about at a decent level of competence (I'm now pretty familiar with all of the material covered in Forte's The Structure of Atonal Music). I would be particularly interested in contributing to Wiki material on pitch-class set theory. As I write this I've contributed to the beginner section on scales (on which I've chosen to use slightly set-theoretic language rather than more colloquial but less precise terms) and one or two other sections.

I also have my own wacky ideas about pantonal harmony from a practical standpoint if anyone's at all interested in that sort of thing.

Unfortunately I have no means to contribute any kind of graphics or diagrams, so I would love to work in conjunction with some other user(s) with these capabilities! (As well as collaborating on content, of course.)
 * Hi John, I'd be interested in working with the graphics [I'll export them as pngs]. How would we work it out? Taeke

Administrator?
I see there are a lot of good ideas flying around here that could make the School of Music very successful, but it doesn't take much looking around to see that this School needs a good bit of work. For instance, most of the information from the "beginning," "intermediate," and "advanced" sections belongs under the "Theory" heading -- not to mention that it should be specified "Western" and "Tonal" theory where appropriate. Which leads me to my next comment -- that this School is Western-centric and should at least attempt to integrate "World" musics, "Folk" musics, "Popular" musics, etc. But why do all that when the same information is available through the Wikipedia? I'm sorry for presenting a problem and no real solutions, besides to strongly suggest that a well-qualified person or group of people take the reins here and dedicate themselves to making the School of Music effective and successful. I would do so myself, but I am neither qualified nor able to make the time commitment. Any volunteers? Music&Medicine 04:01, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Proposed new Layout
I've been browsing through some of the other schools around here and have seen that our layout here is not like any of the other schools. So I am proposing a new layout, to facilitate the University type feel that some of the other schools have accomplished. It would look something like this:

Departments/Faculty
Departments and faculty would be listed here, with each department and faculty name leading to either the list of courses in that department or to courses instructed by that faculty.

Courses
MUS114 - Music Theory I MUS115 - Ear-training I MUS313 - Music history I et al. (These course numbers are really not important, exept in case of the need for record keeping) Also these courses should be divided by level, so level 1 classes through 4 classes separated by "Beginner, Intermediate, etc" so that students can know right off the bat where to start.

Library
This is where all of those articles that have been written so far would go, and perhaps other wikibooks, for reference by students.

So I'll take it upon myself to do the changes needed, as long as nobody has any problem with this. I'm definitely open to suggestion, but if I don't see any response in the next few days, I'll go ahead and make the changes. I figure if someone doesnt step up to the plate, it will never get done. --Jechasteen 23:10, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I went ahead and did it. I've made a list of all the courses I'd personally like to see taught under the listing of Theory and Composition but if you want to see something else taught, you sure wouldnt hurt my feelings if you added to it (or subtracted from it). The numbers are just for the sake of knowing what order the courses should be taken, just like a real university. They could just as well be MUS1, MUS2. Could someone please start on possible course lists for the other areas? --Jechasteen 00:48, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I'd Love to Help
Sounds like this school is going to be great. I'd love to help with theory or musicology, but I'd rather work with someone, or under someone for that matter. Accordionman August 10 2006 (, talk)
 * Me too. I'm an advanced pianist but I'm not sure how I can help here. It's a really cool idea though. (One of these days I'll figure out how to hook up my electronic piano to my computer..) --Fang Aili, talk 19:21, 14 August 2006 (UTC) (you'll have better luck contacting me here)

Basic Blues & Rock
Basic Blues & Rock is a Learning Group of Musicians who want to learn and share from a garage band styled environment. We're going to come up with our own wiki-based system of tabulature for displaying Blues & Rock progressions and other styles and genres.

We can do some collaborations:
 * Wikiversity the Movie/music - participants make the sound track, including original music, for Wikiversity the Movie.
 * Creating music with your PC - participants make music using their personal computer
 * Audio Engineering - we're going to try to build a repository of original audio files, through a new podcasting project...
 * Internet Audio - Wiki Campus Radio - Wikiversity's Web radio station, where we may eventially be able to facilitate Online Jam sessions. (who knows?)

But we have to start somewhere. I prefer to start with something familiar! :) CQ 15:05, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Music for wikio
Yet another idea with no one actively working on it. Here is my idea: Wikio need free content to play. Have people record a file of them singing, playing, or music they've created in some way. Someone could listen to it and verify it's not copyrighted. Then it could be spliced into the webradio run by wikiversity with a short "to give feedback on this, goto ____". That way people could get feedback on what they recorded, and the webradio could have some music. {Just and Idea. That is probably all I'm good at doing, coming up with ideas.)--Rayc 04:19, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Reorganizing music portal
What do you think of completely reorganizing the music portal ?

--Thierry613 (discuss • contribs) 15:28, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Short answer: If the portal is like most portals, it is badly in need of reorganization. Since you were the first person to touch the portal in 3 years (since November 2013), you should not hesitate to change it in any way you wish.

 * Long answer: I have no way to assess the value in organizing portals. Dave  has done a great deal of work in this area, and I know he has good judgement.  Having said that, I have not made an independent assessment of the value in portal reorganization.  Personally, I don't use categories or portals, even when searching Wikipedia or Commons -- instead I use Google.  My personal effort at making Wikiversity more relevant is focused on promoting the Wikiversity Journal concept. (See also Second Journal of Science, and my editorial.)  Just as I am unable to assess the efficacy of Dave's efforts at portal reorganization, I am unable to assess the prospects of creating wiki-journals in order to highlight quality materials.  I do concede that the Journal idea is more speculative, and therefore less likely to succeed.  But wouldn't it be fun if there were a dozen independent Wikiversity Journals, all competing for prestige, and all capable of "publishing" quality articles created by rewriting and reformating material found Wikiversity, Wikipedia, and Wikibooks?--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 16:14, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
 * The Wikiversity Journal is a great idea. But I guess it requires a lot of energy and time.
 * Concerning portals, I help Dave in the (big) project of reorganizing the categories, cleaning old or uncategorized pages, and so on. From his point of view, portals have to be like departments/subdivisions of schools. As we have the School of Music and Dance, I try to imagine how we could reorganize the two portals :
 * music
 * dance
 * and the different existing resources. But it also requires a lot of time. --Thierry613 (discuss • contribs) 17:46, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

The current music portal was redesigned based on the vision that portals should effectively maintain themselves through updates to categories on content pages, since they (portals) tend not to be maintained manually. Anyone is welcome to redesign this as they wish. In considering a redesign, what improvements do you see that could or should be made? -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 18:01, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
 * It would be fine that schools and portals be in harmony each with the others. I am more interested by structure and logic than a particular color or design, boxes or other stuffs
 * I find the subpages and templates a little bit complicated for maintenance. --Thierry613 (discuss • contribs) 18:13, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
 * "I find the subpages and templates a little bit complicated for maintenance." - That's an interesting observation. One of the issues with the portal design is that the wikitext is more complicated, so subpages were used to allow editors to simply click on the Edit link and update that part of the portal. It was intended to make editing easier rather than more complicated. The templates shouldn't need to be edited, but probably could be simplified. Can you be more specific on the complications you're sensing? -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 18:23, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Maybe it is just a lack of practice. But as I intended to transfer music lessons from the school to the music portal, I wondered where to put them in ? Which box ? How to add a box, if needed ? etc. --Thierry613 (discuss • contribs) 20:00, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Take a look at one of the three-tabbed portals, such as Portal:Arts. That has boxes on the Learn tab for this purpose. Does that make it any better, or is that worse?
 * In terms of how to add a box to the existing page, you would just add a where you want it to appear on the page. Then save the page. Once saved, that will appear as a red link that you can click on to create the subpage with the corresponding title. A Courses box would be  . -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 20:45, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes ! Except for the colours, I like this portal pattern. Maybe the category tree could advantageously replace a handmade courses list. I will give it a try tomorrow. Thanks !--Thierry613 (discuss • contribs) 21:35, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

 * See Template:Tabbed portal for how to create it. Adding the additional tabs is very easy to do, with links available. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 23:55, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Aerospace engineering/Introduction

Aerospace engineering is the branch of engineering that concerns aircraft, spacecraft, and related topics. Originally called aeronautical engineering and dealing solely with aircraft, the broader term "aerospace engineering" has replaced the former in most usage, as flight technology advanced to include craft operating outside Earth's atmosphere. In analogy with "aeronautical engineering", the branch is sometimes referred to as astronautical engineering, although this term usually only concerns craft which operate in outer space.

User:CFGuilford2/sandbox

Gino Sky
Gino Sky has published two novels, a collection of stories, and a dozen books of poetry (including Hallelujah 2 Groundhogs & 16 Valentines, available from Limberlost Press). His novel Coyote Silk (North Atlantic Books, 1987) has been translated and published in Korea. Gino Sky is author of the novel Appaloosa Rising: The Legend of the Cowboy Buddha (Doubleday, 1980), which reflects on history, memory, and the power of poetry in bringing an end to the Vietnam War.

Born in Pocatello, Idaho, in 1935, Burt Gail Clays grew up in the mind-expansive deserts and mountains of the Intermountain West as a dyslexic Mormon kid, who, despite his reading disorder, was compelled to tell—and write down—his stories. He changed his name, moved on to Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Bolinas, Santa Fe, Tucson, and places in between before roads led him back to Idaho and Salt Lake City.

Publishing a Sixties underground literary magazine called Wild Dog that the FBI took notice of, Sky tells a story of all that swirled around the magazine during an eruptive time in America. First published by the poet Ed Dorn in Pocatello in 1963, Sky moved Wild Dog to Salt Lake City and then to San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbery district right at the moment of the counter-cultural revolution. In Wild Dog Days, Sky exuberantly chronicles the time, the place, and the peace movement with hallucinogenic clarity. Illustrated with photos of some of the poets who helped hand-crank the pulse of a small press movement, Wild Dog Days is dedicated to “every man, every woman, every kid, every dog who marched for peace and stopped the war.”

Grammy Award-winning folksinger Ramblin' Jack Elliott once described poet Gino Sky as "An Idaho original. Mountain climber, poet, author, tracer of lost birds, keeper of the truth, horseman, scribe, whopping great liar, kind lover, high liver, old-truck hero, keen observer—anything he writes, I want to read. If he leaves me a note on my wiper blades, I save it. I step around or over his tire tracks." In his inimitable way, Ramblin' Jack summed him up well.

Gino Sky's life as a writer in the Mountain West has been shaped by his experience growing up in a small town and the vast landscapes of the mid-20th century American West, by his deep involvement in the literary mimeo magazine movement of the 1960s, by the chance of finding himself in the very center of the counter-cultural, psychedelic revolution of San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury two years before the Summer of Love, and by his focus ever since on channeling through his writing an exuberant pursuit of peace, beauty, and resistance, pushing the literary envelope with humor and hallucinogenic clarity. As an editor of the legendary literary magazine Wild Dog in Salt Lake City and San Francisco after poet Edward Dorn handed off the magazine in 1964, Sky helped the magazine go on to be considered one of the great "underground" mimeo journals of the era, as noted in the New York Public Library's major 1998 exhibition of the 1960s-era small press literary movement, A Secret Location on the Lower East Side.

While writing, he made his way as a fine woodworker, gardener and itinerant handyman. He climbed the most technically challenging peaks of the Grand Tetons, canoed the entire Salmon River—more than 400 miles of undammed wild river from its source in Idaho's Sawtooth Mountains to its confluence with the Snake River—and poured all that experience into a life where he never compromised his muse.

He's the author of a dozen books of poetry, two novels, and a collector of stories, including, perhaps most notably, the novel Appaloosa Rising: The Legend of the Cowboy Buddha (Doubleday, 1980), now a western classic with a cult-like following. He created humorous characters within a mythology blending Eastern mysticism, a vision of freedom in the American West, and a no-holds-barred approach to the creative process that's probably most comfortable humming and hammering along on an IBM Selectric typewriter than on a word processor.

In the 1990s, he had a poetry radio show on "the lobe dial" on Boise's KBSU Public Radio called Poetry in Commotion, interviewing such poets and writers as Robert Wrigley, Terry Tempest Williams, Keith Wilson, Irish poet Medbh McGuckian, British travel writer Jonathan Raban, and many others. He toured with his lifelong friend, legendary folksinger Rosalie Sorrels, on seasonal holiday concerts, weaving his poems and stories with Rosalie's songs and stories for a memorable tapestry. For years he taught poetry in the schools to elementary and high school students, and he held workshops with emerging adult writers. He participated in and MC'd numerous poetry readings, and eulogized old friends as they passed.

At home today in Salt Lake City for the past 20 years, after a circuitous journey through decades of friendships and landscapes, Sky tends to his projects with his wife Barbara Jensen—woodworking, gardening, occasional teaching, and writing. It's been suggested that if he ever wrote a memoir, it should be typed out on stencils, hand-cranked on a Gestetner mimeo machine, collated, stapled, and given away on the streets for free as the Diggers would have done in the heyday of San Francisco's Free Stores.

Nepal geography stubs
Hi folks! This is a friendly reminder that Nepal geography stubs are now sorted by province and then district; there was a wide-ranging proposal about region/district/province stub cats recently at WikiProject Stub sorting, and district-level stubs were the smallest administrative division agreed upon. If someone thinks there is a need for a municipality- or town-level stub type, please propose it at WPSS. Cheers! Her Pegship (I'm listening) 00:32, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

Cara Pemakaian (Usage)
I plan to structure this book so that for each lesson you will have the corresponding exercise. So, if you have finished lesson 1, do the exercise 1 before proceeding to lesson 2, and so forth. This is so that you fully understand the Indonesian.

I understand that it is pretty hard to illustrate simple concepts of Indonesian without knowing anything about it. So, my approach is to illustrate the most important basic components of Indonesian in the basic section. My suggestion is to skim the basic section and grasp a little bit about it and step up to the beginner section so that you can see these components in action.
