Wikibooks talk:Programming languages bookshelf

This is an index to Wikibooks articles, not a book about about programming languages. The format should support multiple entries for every language. There's no point to write encyclopedia-style articles about every language on Wikibooks. The articles on Wikipedia are more mature and should be linked to.

Programming:C plus plus
Initially there used to be one page Programming:C plus plus. Then I thought it'd be nice to split into modules similar to Programming:C and started many modules including Programming:C plus plus Hello world (the rest can be got by successively clicking the next link in the previous module). User:Panic2k4 was of the opinion that the entire book should be in a single module, at least for now, and started contributing heavily to Programming:C plus plus, incl. content from some (not all) of the "Programming:C plus plus *" pages. Since I was opposed to this, and Panic didn't want to argue with me, he started a *shudder* fork at Programming: C -/- -/-, and replaced the link to Programming:C plus plus on this bookshelf with a link to Programming: C -/- -/-. -- Paddu 09:30, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Multiple entries for C++
I reformatted the C++ entry to include both books and a Wikipedia article. There are dozens of about C++ in every book store. There is no reason to have just one book on Wikibooks.
 * It depends on what you mean. There is certainly room for several C++ books that have different goals/scopes on WikiBooks. For example, we'd all be happy to see a complete beginners guide to C++, an advanced software engineering guide with C++, and a complete C++ language reference, and so on. But it's very, very damaging to a creative, collaborative project to have two books with the same goal competing with each other. Would-be contributors might be scared off, thinking that if they spent time contributing to one book it might be wasted. I would even say there is room for C++ books on the same ability level, that cover the same topics to be included, provided that they take radically different philosophies: such as one book that teaches OO concepts first, while another teaches procedural programming first. But they cannot be forks of one another. Perhaps it's best to think of WikiBooks as a publisher, instead of a bookstore. MShonle 22:23, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Object-oriented/Imperative Hybrid
Having moved the categorised list from Programming:List of languages I have noticed that the largest category is not mentioned. I mean the Object-oriented/Imperative Hybrids. So should they not get their own group?

 * Disadvantage : The Object-oriented catecory becomes very small - there are only a very few true and only OO languages around. Users looking for OO might be disappointed.

 * Advantage : The currently most important languages group becomes an exposed position. [UNSIGNED]

I think the term "hybrid" to describe languages has been steadily going out of style. It would probably be best to just have: When creating a categorization of languages, it seems like it would be a failure to have the largest category essentially the same as "Miscellaneous". I would not have categories for DbC. Perhaps I would put the web languages under domain-specific, or into their own category, "web programming" (similarly with database languages).
 * functional,
 * procedural,
 * logical,
 * object-oriented,
 * mathematical/scientific,
 * domain-specific, and
 * scripting.

A re-org should happen to make this all cleaner. MShonle 22:32, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

General policy for programming language books
Is this the best place to discuss general policy for programming language books ?

In particular, is there a policy that covers statements such as:

"C# is ... is a complete, robust programming language without the limitations that make Java strictly a niche or toy language." -- Programming:C sharp

This seems needlessly inflammatory.

All programming languages are niche languages.

In particular, C# works on less than 10 percent of all the CPUs manufactured in 2003. "Less than 10% of all the CPUs sold in the world are 32-bit or more." -- w:microprocessor.

--DavidCary 11:06, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

C# works on more like 90% of systems, if you don't include embedded (Palm) handhelds/smartphones, previous game consoles, and pre-OSX machines, C# has standardization through EMCA, it's .NET components such as WinForms which are the platform-specific issue, Mono implements most through GTK# and Cocoa#. I agree it's not NPOV, and in a big part platform specific for full functionality, however speaking, the integration and machine compilable ability might be an advantage. I have to disagree with the 10% part are 32-bit part, everything since 1997 are 32-bit, even ARM. Mono has only been ported to SPARC and PowerPC though, and is not 64-bit capable afaik, only .NET on Windows is. To each his own on which platform is more of a toy, though in truth on desktops .NET has a larger install base than Java.

--James C 1:33, 18 Nov 2007 (UTC)

NPOV
Well the above statement clearly violates the NPOV (Neutral Point of View) and needs to be removed.

Apart from that: There is no place to discuss the advantages/disadvantages of languages - there will always be a flame war.

There is a cross language chapter in Computer_programming.

--Krischik 08:11, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

There should be a place to discuss advantages and disadvantages but it has to be remembered that what is an advantage and what is a disadvantage depends on the context. Each statement that language X is better than language Y needs to state the situation in which the advantage exists. For instance the oft touted superiority of Fortran over, say VB6, for numerical calculations is irrelevant if the task at hand is string processing. It is the total performance of code written for a specific purpose that counts and this is a matter of immense importance and surely need not generate a flame war. Whether such a discussion belongs on Wikibooks is another question. kwhitefoot 18:00:51, 2005-09-06 (UTC)

Meta-languages_bookshelf vs. Programming languages bookshelf
I see that PostScript has been moved to the Meta-languages_bookshelf. Why? I thought we kept all w:Turing-complete languages (such as PostScript), on the Programming languages bookshelf, and put non-Turing-complete languges (such as XML) on the Meta-languages_bookshelf. --DavidCary 09:24, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * PostScript is w:Turing-complete? If so in a more theoretical way (you could write a Speadsheed using PostScript) or in a practical way (you would write a Speadsheed using PostScript). --Krischik 08:09, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Turing-complete means "theoretical". Every turing-complete language could theoretically replace any other turing-complete language.  However, every language is optimized for a particular range of tasks and designs.  You could write a spreadsheet in PS, but it'd be better to use a language more suited for that. --Randal L. Schwartz 13:07, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Why are these languages called Meta languages? Meta usually means about or concerning as in metadata on web pages, it is data that says something about data. And as for Postscript, there are plenty of tasks that Postscript is suitable for but they tend to belong to the domain of typesetting so why change the name from Domain Specific, which is clear and unambiguous, to Meta-languages which isn't. kwhitefoot 17:53:09, 2005-09-06 (UTC)

Object Orientated?
In the bookshelf area, object oriented is refered to as object orientated (east facing). I did not see a way to edit this title. Am I missing something?

Christine Frayda 23:24, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Fixed. The thing to do is click the tab to edit the page and then scroll down until you see the list of templates used (right at the the bottom).  Click the relevant template and edit that.  In standard British English non-technical uses orientated is the usual form but jargon uses prefer oriented.  It has nothing to do with east facing but rather it is related to orientation.  See http://www.askoxford.com/asktheexperts/faq/aboutgrammar/oriented?view=uk.  kwhitefoot 07:02:12, 2005-09-06 (UTC)

Objective-C
Objective-C is listed under the Macintosh-specific section. I do not think it should be there; although it is predominantly used with Cocoa, it was not introduced on the Mac, and compilers, runtimes, and kits are available for a great many platforms.

other wiki
Many languages already have a dedicated wiki. If there is a Wikibook for that language, please link to that remote wiki in the "For further reading" section of its Wikibook.

But what about languages that don't already have a Wikibook (such as Lua)? For the convenience of people looking for information on such languages, I'm going to stick links to their remote wiki here on the programming languages bookshelf. OK? --DavidCary 21:23, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

API Specific Books
I've noticed that there isn't a bookshelf/subsection for API specific books. What about Direct X, Open GL, Win32, Linux, ect programming books?

Also, many API's are often language specific, or have a specific set of libraries for a programming language. So finding exactly where they should go will be quite a trick.

naming convention for books on the Programming languages bookshelf
Are there any special conventions for naming and organizing programming-related books that go beyond the regular Naming conventions ? In particular, it seems that many early wikibooks began with the "Programming:" pseudo-namespace, but that no longer seems to be popular for newer books. (I suspect this may have already been discussed to death -- please give me a link to that discussion.) --DavidCary 12:54, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

In particular, which name is the best -- Programming:Java, Java Programming, or Java? --DavidCary 01:22, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

 * From what I can see, either Java Programming or Java work (although the former seems quite popular). Programming:Java is right out.  I tend to prefer things like Java or Haskell myself. -- Kowey 16:46, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Source Tags?
The page mentions source-tags. Where can I find information on how to use them? (Or could someone explain shortly?) Otus 15:58, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

 * You can find information on the syntax highlighting extension here, which uses   to format programming code with language-specific syntax hightlighting. Webaware talk 01:33, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

free compilers
The majority of languages on our bookshelf are mentioned in the "Catalog of Free Compilers and Interpreters".

I'm thinking about going through each book on the programming languages bookshelf, and add a link to the appropriate section of that catalog.

Is this a bad idea? If so, please tell me now before I waste too much time on this project. --DavidCary 07:26, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

 * If you do so, be sure to include it in the right place for each book. If your not sure of where such a link should go in a book, I would suggest not doing it for that book or only suggest that a link to be added on the book discussion page. Otherwise it may just end up being removed. --dark lama  12:50, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

book listings
php does support object oriented programming, yet it is not placed under the object oriented category. maybe someone could do this?

 * Basic object orientation has been part of PHP since PHP3. Tinned Tuna (talk) 15:29, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Visual Basic?
Why does the table of contents list # 1.5 PHP – Visual Basic .NET when the last alphabetical entry is XForms? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anon1171 (discuss • contribs) 2008-03-04T00:53:36

 * Thanks, now fixed. Webaware talk 14:27, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

ColdFusion link missing?
Oh master of this index page... Can you please add in the link to this page: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programming:ColdFusion

Cobol
I think that list misses Cobol

New Scheme book
I've recently been working on a new book to cover the Scheme programming language, since there was no book on it. It is in need of expansion, clean up, and so on. I don't think it's ready for this bookshelf yet, but I think it's worth having some other people look at it with me. Stylistically and structurally it draws heavily from the C Programming book. Tinned Tuna (talk) 15:33, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Both scenes are exactly the same. Only the lens is different. Try using words such as "Distant", "Close", "Warm", "Cold".

Note: This is the exact same girl and exact same hair. Only the focal length of the lens is different. Now do you see that your lens selection makes a difference?

Wikiversity talk:Motto contest

Comments?

Creative idea
My take? This is a very creative idea at helping us define what this project is all about. Great stuff! --HappyCamper 14:07, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Nature of contest
Is this a contest for a slogan that we put on our front page or on the front pages of sister projects - or both? Currently, on Wikipedia's front page, we are defined as: "Free learning materials and activities". (FWIW, this is already the longest slogan of all the projects). Cormaggio 14:22, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

 * why not both -- thx -- will work on explaining now... Reswik 14:28, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Instant Runoff for this contest
For some reason that I have not see earlier, there are many people involved with Wikimedia projects that have a huge aversion to an instant run-off election. See Instant-runoff voting for details about how this is done.

My experience is that many people are hesitant to try new ideas they havn't seen working before, as instant runoff voting tends to be. I also have seen typical voting for slogans and logos turn out to be instead of the best icon, merely the most mediocre that everybody can stomache.

Even if this is just an experiment, I would like to see preferential voting take place here. I would even be willing to do the vote tallies if that seems to be a bit overwhelming, and do a round-by-round analysis.

If there is to be a formal "final approval" here, we could also end the instant run-off process until we have a predetermined number of strong candidates, such as 2-3 candidates that would then be put into the final vote that perhaps would get a little more attention. The whole point about this is to avoid having to do constant revoting when there appear to be winners of such a vote that have only a very small plurality of support but end up being the winner simply because they have the most votes of support. And such a winner is strongly opposed to by the community. --Robert Horning 17:30, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks very much for the offer of counting tallies! If I understand your points: I was thinking along similar lines about using instant runoff/preferential voting, which i included in the process discussed at the end of the page. I emphasized that it is good to aim for a strong majority choice (greater than 70-80% or more approval). So, I agree, if there is no strong majority emerging: stop with perhaps 2, 3, 4 or 5 remaining top choices. Then, perhaps hold another type of selection. So far, many of the options will have only one person selecting them, as the majority of people are listing their names by one of the mottos/slogans they create.

 * I was thinking we could use these selection steps: 1) at end of first round (the creative listing process we are doing now), remove all options that are not selected and introduce selected items to a second round. 2) second round is preferential selection (instant runoff). 3) if there is not strong majority option in round two, third round is some sort of discussion and selection process (with selection switching) for the remaining 2 to 5 options. (One thing: We need to verify in round 2 and 3 that sock puppets are not being used.) (Oh, shall we use the term, "preferential selection"--especially since this is just narrowing the field in this context.) Reswik 17:45, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Note: I think the simpler selection process suggested now for round 2 fits this context better -- lots of options with no support or 1 support sig and a handful with some support. Reswik 22:10, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

In vici veritas?
 'In vici veritas'  (from my very poor memory) actually means something more like 'In having conquered is the truth'. It's just that vici is pronounced 'wiki' (these days). It's not Hawaiian, it's the first person singular perfect tense form of vincere, 'to conquer, overcome; defeat; subdue; win; surmount; exceed, excel; prevail' (from the OED). --Sam 03:53, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Ill support this. --NightDragon 11:22, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Final decision process
(Moved from main contest page:)

Eventually, we may need to appeal to Wikiversity custodians for evaluation.

 * My suggestion would be to do a run-off between the top five most popular candidates with subsequent eliminations until one gets a decent majority (2/3 or such). -- sebmol ? 08:00, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

 * That is a good option. I think it may work for the slogans. There seems to be a possibility of a roughly two or three way tie for the motto options. It might be possible that discussions result in once choice.
 * Before reaching "finalists," my thought is to try a slower gradual process of reducing number of options next to those with three or more supporters and then, after that, with four or fiver or more supporters. There is a good reason for going slow: We don't have a many votes. I hope with several more months that we have a hundred to two hundred participating. It would also give more time for discussions. Now, it we have just around fifty participants. Reswik 13:39, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Motto

 * How can I vote against a candidate for the motto?
 * Quote:A motto (from Italian) is a phrase or a short list of words meant formally to describe the general motivation or intention of an entity, social group or organization.
 * Which candidate for the motto motivates you? None motivates me.--Hillgentleman 09:26, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * To reply to your points:
 * 1. This process so far has not had negative voting as there have been multiple options and the openness to listing new alternatives. If we get tied versions, perhaps we will need negative voting/comments in the main comment list in the next round. Making criticisms in the discussion section is great, as you have done.
 * 2. The purpose of the mottos in the case of motto/logo combinations is rather specific. This is described in the Goals section of the motto contest page: "the purpose of this motto is to describe Wikiversity briefly." If the description can be inspiring, so much the better. But that is not the main characteristic of existing motto/logo pairs -- they are more clearly descriptive. It is interesting to consider if Wikiversity may wish to have 2 types of mottos: a descriptive version and a "mission/vision" version. If we get an approximate tie in this round for selecting mottos, that might be something to consider.
 * 3. I noticed that you supported "free learning community" in round 3 as a motto. It is fine to change ones vote. From the options in rounds 1, 2 and 3, do any of the alternatives appeal to you? Or, would you like to list new option(s) in round 2 or a new variation in round 3/4 and lobby for those in the discussion section of round 4?  With several people supporting, close variations on current options can be listed in the main groups. Reswik 14:59, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Discussion of Round 4 contest revision
Several different ways to revise Round 4 of the contests are discussed in this string. A simple alternative suggested by Cormaggio, mentioned at the end of the string, was selected by the facilitator.

 * Today, seeing the "finalists" for this contest, a growing concern (of mine) has crystalized. Action seems merited now. Given the goals of the contest, the options in this group would seem to work better as possible slogans for Wikiversity. They do not work as a short descriptive phrase, which is the meaning of motto in this context. Hence, I moved this group from the motto contest to the slogan selection process. What do you think? Reswik 17:38, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * You confuse me. Where is that "growing concern" you describe? In what pages was it discussed? I did not have that concern at all. I'm also very surprised that the whole section was moved with no distinction between the proposals! Awolf002
 * Sorry for the confusion. The "growing concern" is my concern -- and noted now above as mine. I'll explain at more length: As voluntary facilitator of this motto/slogan contest, I have been observing the selection process closely and regularly since August. It has been increasingly of concern to me that "knowledge is free" sorts of phrases (and some other types) are statements of principle and are not descriptions of the project. They do not serve the contest goals. The "mottos" that appear in Wikimedia logo-name-motto project descriptions (that appear at the bottom of most Wikimedia projects) are short descriptions of the nature of a project. The goals of this contest and the nature of the needed mottos has been stated clearly for quite some time. It has been a latent unresolved (and unstated) issue to deal with non-descriptive motto alternatives. The term "motto" in this contest refers to a very specific kind of role for a phrase. The slogan(s) can be much more broad in nature. The Wikiversity community could depart from the Wikimedia practice in what it wishes to adopt for a suggested motto for motto-logo use. If there is a strong sense in the community to change the goals of this contest -- that would be fine. However, there has been no objection to the stated goals of this process to this point. Indeed, I think the goals are on target for what the project needs. So, when it became clear (to me) how to simply deal with this, it seemed best to fix this problem at the fortuitous moment of approximately (within a day or so) when support statements have been re-initiated - rather than have to untagle this situation later when it could be much more messy. Please re-consider the goal statements and examples at the top of the page. Do you wish to change those? If not, I think the step of moving this group to the slogan contest should remain. Thanks for considering, --Reswik 03:56, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I greatly appreciate your effort in managing this vote, yet in this point I strongly disagree. I think the distinction between a statement and a description (i.e. a motto and a slogan) is highly artificial. I for my part simply suggested and voted for what I though would look best under the logo and what best represents my feelings towards the Wikiversity project. This can be a statement of intent or just simply a bold statement that kind of summs-up what Wikiveristy is all about. Tho goal of the motto/slogan is to give newcommers a feel of what Wikiveristy is all about, right? In what way does form (statement vs. description) matter? Does it matter if "I'm loving it" or "connecting people" or "be all you can be" are statements or descriptions? They just give you a feel for what the product is about... --Pedro.Gonnet 08:33, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * The distinction between descriptions and statements of principle is not artificial at all, not in this context anyway. At the top of this page (and at the bottom of wikimedia project main pages), you will see various instances of motto-logo sets for wikimedia projects. There is a strong family resemblance in what is a "motto" in those contexts: It is most definitely a short description of what the project provides. You seem to be talking about a traditional sense or an expanded sense of what is a "motto." This interpretation seems to me to introduce a lot of complications. In an expanded sense of a "motto", a wide variety of short statements could work with a logo to give some sort of feel of the project. In this contest, the "motto" has been defined as and, I believe, aims to be a contest for a short description. It could be called a "short description" contest (and perhaps should be renamed that). In the last month or so, to provide a home and function to the mottos that are not short descriptions, I had been thinking of suggesting to sub-divide the motto contest into two parts: 1. a "short description" contest, and 2. a motto contest (that speaks to principles and whatever). (I had been waiting to see how the logo contest unfolds and how this contest unfolds, before suggesting a resolution. The one I offered is the simplest, I think, and it serves well the needs of the project and community.) Anyway, one problem with mottos as principles is that you need more than one or a few principles to sum up wikiversity. The three principles mottos (in the motto contest above) are one way to start to address the multi-dimensionality of wikiversity (but i think you may need more than just three principles -- maybe 6 or 12 or more principles -- to do that). Another problem is that to present up front something like "knowledge is freedom" is to overgeneralize and provide something that applies also to wikipedia, wikibooks, etc -- much more so than some of the short descriptions we had as motto front runners in round three of the contest. (I actually think we can come up with better and simpler short descriptions than those getting more support now -- for instance, "free/open learning" or "free/open education" or even "free/open online university (though I don't think we should use that one). These seem to hit the nail of what is wikiversity on the head.) At any rate, since I have been mulling over the idea for the last month of subdividing the motto contest, I did not suggest the simpler solution of moving a non-descriptive "motto" statement group into the more wide ranging possibilities of the slogan contest. If others feel strongly about this, I think we can consider subdividing the motto contest. We definitely need to do something. And, this stage in the process is a good time. If we go this direction, both types of "mottos" (a short description and a principle motto) would have uses. The use of the traditional motto could be on a mission page, a vision page, a main page and various pages about Wikiversity. But, I think perhaps we should further develop our mission and vision before undertaking/completing a more expansive extra motto contest. A big part of the issue here is the interpretation of the word motto and how logos work in various contexts. Can we just work with a narrow interpreation for the given context of the contest definition? I hope so. If we stay with the contest goals as stated above and with creating a descriptive phrase that is like the other Wikimedia projects, then I think contest adjustment that has been made works quite well. The solution tried (simply moving some options to the slogan contest) is simple and inclusive; the option of subdividing the contest would likely get much more complicated. Another concern: I'm not sure our new and relatively inactive community will generate discussions of mission and vision in a timely way (see the stalled process on the current mission page) to help advance a more expansive approach to mottos. That is, ideally, more mission/vision ground work would be completed before doing a principle-creating motto contest. [Note: If this discussion continues to grow, I think it is best to move it to the talk page and link from here.] I hope with further talk we can agree to go with the simple solution offered above: perhaps renaming the motto contest to a "short description" contest. Part of that could be deferring a principle-based or more expansively defined motto contest to another page and timeframe. I must say that I might not have time to facilitate that more expansive contest. Facilitating this process is a time commitment involving a lot of types of support work. In short, I think going with a simple workable solution is in the interests of the community and contest at this time. --Reswik 14:00, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Ps. Here is a third option to resolve the above issue: 1. Rename the "motto" contest to the "short description" contest -- keep to a narrow definition in this contest (as stated currently in goals at the top of page). 2. Rename the "slogan" contest as the "motto" contest -- and have a broad, open definition of what could be a motto (just as there is implicitly a broad defintion of what is a slogan--basically, whatever people want at top of main page--and this broad "motto" could be used on various "what is wikiversity" and "about wikiversity" types of pages). What do you think? --Reswik 17:06, 17 October 2006 (UTC).
 * I think this is changing the rules of the vote too close to the final decision. If the framework of what is defined as a "valid motto" or "valid slogan" is being redrawn, I fear the whole process up to this point was for naught. You seem to assume, that most or all voters in this process need still to be educated about what is the goal of this contest. If that is true, *STOP THE PRESSES, NOW* and redo this! I really hope this is not the problem at all, and thus we can re-instate the original 'Phase 3' classification of candidates. Awolf002 20:37, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * As I described at length above, the change above is to apply the goals of the contest to the content of proposals. There is not a change to the goals. Yes, I think some of the contest participants have misunderstood the purpose of the motto contest and used a more broad definition of "motto" in that part of the contest - though there has been rather clear definition of goals for the motto part of this at the top of the page. This needs to be corrected. As facilitator, I was unsure of which way to go about this (having been contemplating a more complicated process than the step I took yesterday) If I had been more sure of what to do, I would have raised the issue sooner. At any rate, I do not think we are loosing information or options in the approach I took. It is simply that some of the options do not fit the purpose of the part of contest to create a short description of what the project is for linking at the bottom of wikimedia project main pages. But those options do fit the current "slogan" contest. Whatever we do, a change is needed. At this time, either we can stop the process and figure out how to go forward. Or, we can resolve this issue through some more discussion now (hopefully by others) and perhaps make further adjustments. To stop the process would probably involve a more major change to the existing process than the current adjustment. Hopefully discussion will work, but perhaps not. Before taking further action in the contest organization, I'm going to wait for a day or two to see if there are any more comments on this. And, in a day or two, I am going to raise this issue in the colloquium. I am going to raise the issue now on the custodian request page just in case those experienced users have any insights to offer on how to discuss and approach this process. --Reswik 21:25, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I think I begin to see your point. However, why is "World Wide Wisdom" not also a problem? It seems even less descriptive of the project than "Set Learning Free", don't you think? Basically, we only have the choice to select something very similar to the existing "motive", like "Free Learning Community", if I follow your agument correctly. Awolf002 20:20, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * The general issue of what is the purpose of the motto contest may be resolved by the following that I plan to implement and propose as a process modification for review for 2 weeks starting tomorrow, re-initiating (and stepping back to) round 3: To deal with different purposes being served currently by the motto contest, a helpful approach seems (to me) to be to subdivide (or fork) the motto contest in this way: 1. a broad motto contest: keep all of the motto contest suggestions and re-define this contest (more broadly in the way it is partly functioning now through the kinds of alternatives that people are proposing) as seeking a motto which expresses the mission of wikiversity (possibly in an inspiring way); and, 2. a short description contest (the intended original purpose of the contest): select a subset of the motto contest options which briefly describe wikiversity in a way similar to other short wikimedia descriptions that go with wikimedia project logos. We would then have 3 contests: the motto contest (with a broad purpose of an inspiring motto proper); a short description contest (the original motto contest purpose but with fewer alternatives carried over); the slogan contest (for the main page subtitle). These would be created as a modification to the final stage 3 of this process (which has the very low bar of including options with two supporting votes from stage 2). I plan to implement the above tomorrow with a description also posted the colloquium. Then, I'll suggest at least a two week review period (allowing continuing support listing in stage 3) before moving onto stage 4 again (perhaps also preserving the votes and format already made in stage 4). Comments? --Reswik 22:50, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that's a good idea. I agree with Awolf that this is a bad moment to interfere in the voting, so we should best roll back to stage 3. --Pedro.Gonnet 07:54, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I think it was going pretty much ok as it was. May I suggest that instead of having to decide whether a phrase is either a slogan or a motto, we simply add the phrases in contention as both mottos and slogans, and let people vote on whichever ones they prefer in whichever category? Cormaggio 08:54, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I like the idea of including all options that were approved (4 or more supporters) in the motto & slogan contests in both contests. This is an idea I had considered, but was unsure about adding it at this time. But, it will work probably - it is inclusive. It could work to have just two contests but clarify that two purposes are being served. So, I noted that in the goal section at the top. The two contests only remain now (serving different purposes), but with more and identical options in both. --Reswik 13:32, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Extending Round 4
I think this is a bad idea! Nothing focusses the mind more than to see ones options diminish. I think we should cut out 50% of the current candidates (I just picked a number) or so, but still allow for new additions if they gain enough support in a given time frame (say 5 votes in 3 days) and let that round go until December 15. We can easily add rounds, but should not let a large list of options linger. It gives the impression we will never succeed. Awolf002 01:38, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree with narrowing the field. Some of the options have only 1 or 2 supporters -- those options also had less support in earlier rounds.  A few weeks ago, I was thinking now (Nov 15) would be a good time for that.  But with only 25 or so participants at present in this round, I think that it is OK to wait until Dec 1 or Dec 15 to narrow the field.  But, if others think that reducing the field is best now, we can do that. For more points, see current discussion also in the colloquium: Motto_contest -extending. Reswik 02:49, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Suggestion for the future: Round X closes two days after the fiftieth vote.--Hillgentleman|User talk:hillgentleman 03:02, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Awolf002's comment above and Cormaggio's points in the colloquium (Motto_contest -extending) have been gnawing at me the last few days. It seems possible that simplifying the field to the clear front runners in a round 5 now may encourage participation. So, let's try it. Reswik 08:31, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

None of the above
I don't like any of the entries — they are all outlandish and pretentious in my opinion. I'd rather see a down-to-earth Wikiversity:The Free University in the tradition of Wikipedia:The Free Encyclopedia. CQ 06:27, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

 * The finalists were supported by a strong majority of participants in round 4. Thanks for your suggestion. I personally like the brevity, clarity and focus of this but using university in a Wikiversity motto/slogan might not fit with the scope for Wikiversity project approved by the Wikimedia foundation board (see ). I've added your suggestion to round 2 list of options. --Reswik 16:10, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

What the hell?
They needed to allow WAAAAY more time for these elections, as well as been more vocal about wikiversity on wikipedia. i just learned about it, and i cant contribute to a slogan? What crap.

But to hell with it. My idea is:

Free Your Mind.

--NightDragon 11:21, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Nominations began August 23 and new suggestions were added through October 15. That was a long enough time frame for many suggestions to be made and was approximately the same time frame used for the Wikiversity/logo contest. Thanks for the new suggestion. I've added it to round 2 where all suggestions are still being noted. Reswik 16:01, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

How about "Open-Source Education"?
(Richard2me 05:57, 7 December 2006 (UTC))

What motto contest?
First time I encountered this contest was today (10 Dec 2006), despite using Wikipedia quite regularly. I agree with some that the contest should be kept open for longer. I also think that it should be announced a bit louder on the Wikipedia main page so that more like myself can have some input.

In thinking about the motto for Wikiversity, the use of the word "knowledge" is redundant, Wikipedia is the store of knowledge, Wikiversity is (or will become) the house of learning.

My recomendation, late as it may be, for the motto is "Learning unbound".

 * Note this is not Wikipedia, but Wikiversity. I agree that this isn't the most well-advertised place, but it is linked to from the Main Page and Community portal last time I checked, so interested parties will have found it I hope. Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 06:00, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Michael, sorry if it came accross that I was meaning one Wiki site was the same as the other. I meant it quite the reverse as support for my comment that the word "knowledge" was redundant in reference to Wikiversity. It's essence is a source of learning.

 * Wikiversity is (or will become) the community of teaching and learning that it aims to be, whereas Wikipedia is a store of knowledge that is but one of the tools of Wikiversity can use. - best regards, Hector G. 03:05, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Contest?
Wikiversity should not really hold any contests, since Wikimedia isn't really going to give the user that wins any prize, except his or her username on the image page on Commons. I propose changing the name of this page to "Wikiversity:Motto collaboration" or something else. Thunderhead

mm
"knowledge makes you free"

"There is no wealth like knowledge; no poverty like ignorance."

More Motto
I known this is late but I want to add some of my motto for wikiversity.
 * Collective Self-Learning
 * Collaborative Self-Learning

I propose this because learning in wikiversity is practically Self-Learning in group level. Srinivasasha 11:56, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

INITIAL logo and motto
If the misssion statement is still open to discussion, it's far too early to defibitively decide on the motto and logo, surely !

It's more than correct to elect an INITIAL motto and logo, but pleaseItalic text, shouldn't be made clear that this should not be "written in stone" and should be open to change as the project evolves/matures. wikityke 22:59, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your comment. The mission statement seems to have reached a plateau, having not changed much for last few months (i think). Ideally, there would be reciprocal development of the motto/slogan/logo and mission statement. I think that, indeed, we can now revisit the mission and polish that in light of the motto/slogan/logo. It should be noted that everything about Wikiversity is in a beta stage and I'm not sure but the main principles developed now might be subject to the approval of the Wikimedia foundation. Perhaps the outcomes of the motto & logo contests will lead to more discussion of the mission and vision for the university. Or, perhaps not. Various basic policies are currently being developed. If the project changes direction significantly for whatever reason, then yes, I think it would make sense to revisit the motto & slogan. At this time, I guess I think that if Wikiversity maintains and develops on the foundation of its current structure and goals, then probably no change in motto/slogan is needed, barring future basic problems with such. So, time will tell -- it is early in the life of Wikiversity -- i don't know if we know if things will be maintained or change. --Reswik 00:57, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Did "Where Learning is Free" even enter in competition?
I thought it was a good one. -- "College Student" 18:30, 2 May 2007

 * The contest lasted 8 months, starting in August. This last round, round 6, was to consider the finalists that were chosen in round 5, which ended in January. Minor variations on the finalists were welcome. Your suggestion, which came in a day or two before this whole process closed, is actually not far from the slogan finalists.  But, it came in very late. It has been past time to end this for awhile -- I was just waiting for the count of support statements to hit 30 for the winning slogan.
 * It might make sense to offer your suggestion again in a few months (in the colloquium), or sooner if you wish, as an amendment/change to the current slogan. And, note that this was offered a day before the contest closed. I would support considering that minor revision.
 * Btw, I agreed with your comment about it being nice to have the contrast of open & free in the motto & slogan sections. Thanks very much for your input. --Reswik 00:15, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Reswik, Is not the purpose of the slogan "contest" to choose the one that is the best for wikiversity? If there is new point of view, why couldn't we include it?  Why must it be a "contest", and not a discussion, anyway? Hillgentleman|Talk 14:18, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It was past time for this particular process to end. I think it is fine to discuss this minor variation -- perhaps in the colloquim. --Reswik 19:30, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Please see further discussion of this suggestion here:  Motto and slogan contests: discussion of outcomes. --Reswik 16:36, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

set
The wrong part of the verb is used. Set on its own is an imperative yet a motto is descriptive.

 * Thanks for raising this. My thoughts at one time about this were to use these variations for the final slogan:
 * (a punctuation adjustment) "- set learning free" (with "help us" implied and explained in a link somewhere sometime)
 * (the gerund) "setting learning free"
 * This revision hasn't been discussed much yet and I'll probably raise it in the colloquium in a few days as part of wrapping this process up (along with raising the issue of a last minute variation of using "where learning is free").
 * --Reswik 00:53, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind reply. "Help us" isn't implied by an imperative, even if it's preceded by a dash. If one must have mission-statements like these (cf. Dogbert's mission-statement generator), the gerund-version would make more sense.
 * Likewise, thanks for your input. By implied, I meant that a mission statement that includes the phrase "help us set learning free" or some such would imply the meaning at top of page, with that being abbreviated. This issue is now receiving more discussion in the colloquium in post dated today. Note: It could be that a format adjustment to indicate separation of two sentences is simplest solution. --Reswik 15:41, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Logo
I'm submitting an idea for a logo. (An idea because I'm no artist)

Think of the dove & the olive branch...

How about an owl (old symbol for learning etc) WITH the olive branch (to symbolise learning and peace in partnership.

Thank you,

'Open University' already exists
'Open University' already exists! Australia, Britain, South Africa, Etc. -- unsigned comment from main contest page, 5/29/07.

 * Yes, the term has been used by a number of institutions. Here we are talking about an "open learning" community as a community that uses the wiki format (and other online media) as a primary forum and associated collaborative wiki/free software movement related values. If one considers an open university to be an open learning community (and is it, in the sense we are using here?), then using "the" with open learning community might not be appropriate. This question needs to be raised. Thanks, --Reswik 23:59, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

 * "A community for openness of information, knowledge and understanding." (Bcameron54 - diff)

 * This is just an arbitrary idea, but what are thoughts on having the winning motto be in Latin (the basis of so much learning and language)? Open learning community would be something along the lines of Sodalitas Publicus Eruditio (forgive me if it is a poor translation).Strothatynhe 07:07, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Moved from main contest page:
 * Maybe a bit late for this but what about something along the lines of:
 * a. Virtual Learning for the Real World
 * b. Virtual Learning, Virtually Anywhere, Virtually Free
 * c. Open Minds, Open Courses, Open Worlds --<IP_ADDRESS> 20:05, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:R-Type Final

Untitled
Can someone put up information on the Storyline and History of R-Type. I'd really like to know the plot behind the R13 series of ships among other things.

Mad Forest Series
I'm just curious if the Mad Forest set of ships (I, II, III) are a reference to Xexex, a Konami-styled R-Type clone...can someone confirm this?
 * I think the style of the 'Life Force' on the first "Bydo" unlockable ship to represent the enemies and graphical style on the Konami game Life Force (arcade game). <IP_ADDRESS> 19:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Forces
The forces bit is... odd. The long text after the list of forces seems a bit made up and fanonical, and gives away the ending. I'd like to get rid of it.

Also, the list... personally, I'm all for it, and I'll happily write up as many as I can... but I suspect other editors won't see the need for the list, and have it removed. So I'd like your opinions now. If it's not necessary for the article, would it be better removed to a page like Force (R-Type)? Spottedowl 18:17, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

I'd be happy enough to see the lengthy summary removed (since it duplicates information that's already on the main R-Type page, and then spirals off into useless cruft.) The list of Force types might as well remain, although personally I'd think that the editorial comments there could also be eliminated. <IP_ADDRESS> 06:58, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

User:Yangjeongsoo/sandbox

On September 3rd, 2007 the present administrator of www.kandroid.org, Yang jeongsoo opened ‘mobile today’

community on www.naver.com, which is the largest portal site of Korea. He discussed the problem and solution

of telecommunication business environment through the community.

At that time, he was reviewing webkit technology that was applied to iPhone. While reviewing that technology,

he heard of Google Android and reviewed webkit of Android as well. He found that Android is promising platform,

in that Android aims at open access for telecommunication business environment and open platform

for mobile devices and has technical value of SGL, GUI and Dalvik. Therefore, he decided to try potential value

of Android.

Firstly, he purchased all possible web domains of which names are combinations of Korea and Android.

Of all the domains, www.kandroid.org is the best web domain that represents the community related to Android

in Korea.

Secondly, on March 13, 2008, he held ‘The 1st Korea Android Conference’ in COEX Grand Ballroom, which is the

largest event place of Korea. He informed people of the conference to be held, not by commercial advertisement

but by posting it on his community. Also, he changed the name of his community from ‘Mobile Today’ to

‘2008 Korea Android’.

He couldn’t estimate who and how many people could be coming but around 1,000 people attended the first

technology conference, which was a lot more than he expected. The subjects of the conference were as follows:

l  Google Android and Open Network Issue

l  Open Mobile Platform and Market Issue

l  Android Platform Stack and Porting Guide

l  SUN Java VM and Android Dalvik VM Issue

l  Google Android Kernel Issue

l  Android Developer Challenge and New Business Models

The first conference might be the first formal activity of his community www.kandroid.org. After that, www.kandroid.org

became famous with Number 1 community on Android and positioned itself as a sincere community for developers.

Also his community started projects about education contents of Android for developers and released Kandroid

toolchain on May 30, 2008.

On November 10th, 2008, he held the second technology conference. Although approximately 350 attended the

conference, which was fewer than the first one, the passion and sincerity of attendee were far more. The conference

dealt with the following subjects:

l  Open Mobile Platform and Open Ecosystem

l  Comparison of Google Android and Apple iPhone

l  Android Market and Strategy for Android Developer Challenge II

l  Android Internals and Target Porting

l  Android Open Source and Commercialization Issues

Afterwards his community decided to hold its technology conference semiannually, in spring and fall.

On March 27th, 2009, more hot the 3rd technology conference named ‘Android, Quest For Fire’ was held.

The number of attendee was around 600. The subjects were much deeper as below:

l  Android Insight in Mobile Market Turbulent Mobile Market

l  ARM and Linux Driver Model

l  Linux and Android Start-up

l  Android HAL : Case Study

l  Using Repo(GIT) to maintain Android

l  Android Application Tech. Issue and Business Model

By the time, the number of his community members increased to about 7000. The spirit of inquiry and curiosity of

the members toward Android became hot. Many of the members asked his community for developer education

on Android. Finally, on April 20th, 2009, his community started training for Android application developers,

with the capacity of 30 people. The eighth training will be in progress at the end of September 2009. The total number

of people who got trained reached around 300.

Besides, in March 2009, his community contributed the column ‘The mobile ecosystem which Android makes,

perspective and subject’ by request of Korean software Promotion Agency (KIPA). In August 2009, his community

published the book named ‘Android Basic & Classic, Android Primer’, which is Korean version of

‘the developer guide’ of www.android.com.

As of September 2009, the number of his community members is about 12,000 and his community is preparing

the 4th technology conference coming October.

Deanna Reder

Deanna Helen Reder is a Cree-Métis associate professor of English and the Chair of Indigenous Studies at Simon Fraser University. Reder was elected a member of the College of New Scholars of the Royal Society of Canada in 2018. As a faculty member at Simon Fraser University, she was a founding member of the Indigenous Literary Studies Association (ILSA) and served on the council from 2015 to 2018. In 2019 she helped establish the Indigenous Editors Association (IEA) and served as its "Past-President" from 2020 to 2021.

Early life and education
While Reder has family all over the Canadian prairies, her Cree speaking Cree and Métis family come from La Ronge, and historically from Île-à-la-Crosse and surrounding communities, including Lac Doré, Green Lake, and Sled Lake Saskatchewan. Her father was a corporal in the Canadian Armed Forces and the family lived on army bases until Reder was ten years old. Her parents did not graduate high school.

Reder says she began to understand the significance of autobiography when her mother read "Halfbreed" by Maria Campbell, and was excited to read a book that accurately represented her life. Growing up, Reder says that little Indigenous literature was taught in the school system, so that the only Indigenous author that she was assigned to read throughout her entire K-12 education was Pauline Johnson's poem "The Song my Paddle Sings."

While attending York University for her Masters of Arts, Reder wanted to focus on Indigenous literatures but found it difficult to find enough courses on the topic. She instead focused on nineteenth-century Canadian literature, noting that the focus was on settlers rather than Indigenous authors. After earning her MA, Reder took a break from her studies, returning in 2001 to begin her PhD.

Career
In 2007, Reder was hired as an assistant professor in the Department of English and the First Nations Studies Program at Simon Fraser University.

In 2010, Reder published "Troubling Tricksters: Revisioning Critical Conversations" with Linda M. Morra through Wilfrid Laurier University Press. Troubling Tricksters was an anthology of essays revolving around the trickster discourse in Indigenous literature.

In 2012, the First Nations Program at SFU was established as the Department of First Nations Studies at SFU. (In 2019 the department changed its name to The Department of Indigenous Studies.)The new department, which became effective in April 2012, included certificates in First Nations studies research and major, minor, and joint major with archaeology and linguistics. The following year, Reder was part of a council of Indigenous and settler scholars that founded the Indigenous Literary Studies Association (ILSA). As president of ILSA, she coordinated with Sam McKegney at Queen's, and with Sophie McCall at SFU and various other ILSA members, to organize the Indigenous Voices Awards in order to recognize emerging Indigenous authors in Canada.

In 2015, she became a Co-Investigator with Daniel Heath Justice and Margery Fee on a SSHRC-funded project called The People And The Text. The project aimed to collect literature by Indigenous authors that either never were published or had fallen out of print. Two years later, Reder edited Read, Listen, Tell: Indigenous Stories from Turtle Island with Sophie McCall, David Gaertner, and Gabrielle L'Hirondelle Hill.

In 2018, Reder and Alix Shield published documents that had been omitted from "Halfbreed" in 1973, against the wishes of author Maria Campbell, by the book's editors, at the last moment before publication. The documents were Campbell's account of being raped by Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers as a youth. She was also elected a member of the College of New Scholars of the Royal Society of Canada.

She sits on the Board of Directors of the non-profit Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences. In June 2019, Reder was part of the SFU Art Cluster that elected to remove a piece of art that misrepresented Aboriginal people as passive and accepting of the colonization of British Columbia.

 * Troubling Tricksters: Revisioning Critical Conversations (2010), edited with Linda M. Morra
 * Learn, Teach, Challenge: Approaching Indigenous Literatures (2016), edited with Linda M. Morra

Daniela Crăsnaru

Daniela-Carmen Crăsnaru (born 14 April 1950) is a Romanian poet whose works have been widely translated. She has also written short stories and works for children. From 1990 to 1992, Crăsnaru was a deputy in the Romanian parliament, representing the National Salvation Front (FSN).

Crăsnaru has authored poetry, short stories and children's books. One of the most important contemporary poets in Romania, she has received international acclaim as a result of the translation of her poetry into at least 15 languages. In 1991, she received the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Romanian Academy where she is now deputy director.

Under the Ceaușescu regime, Crăsnaru was limited by the political oppression of the period but her unlike many Eastern European authors, her short stories extend beyond politics to enlarge on the weaknesses of ordinary people who experience helplessness and failure. The poems in her Letters from Darkness reveal the contrast between the work she published in the Ceaușescu period with the subversive poetry she hid until the 1989 revolution.

Works
The following are translations of Crăsnaru's works in English:

Tape op

A tape operator or tape op, also known as a second engineer, is a person who performs menial operations in a recording studio in a similar manner to a tea boy or gopher. They may act as an apprentice or an assistant to a recording engineer and duties can consist of threading audio tape, setting up microphones and stands, configuring MIDI equipment and cables, and sometimes pressing the relevant transport controls on the recorder or digital audio workstation. Abbey Road Studios always assigned at least one tape op to each recording session.

History and prospects
The role of tape op was a useful entry into a professional recording environment, and several went on to successful careers as engineers and record producers. The music and film soundtrack producer John Kurlander started his production career at Abbey Road Studios in 1967 as a tea boy, progressing to principal tape op (or assistant engineer) by 1969. He was partially responsible for including "Her Majesty" on the Beatles' Abbey Road after carefully splicing a discarded take of the song onto the master tape. Alan Parsons also began his production career as an Abbey Road tape op, which led to him to assisting with the mixing of Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother and engineering on The Dark Side of the Moon.

Due to the increasing ability to produce professional quality recordings at home studios, the experience that can be gained by working as a tape op is being lost, resulting in people having a harder learning curve with music engineering and production.

Japanese/Vocabulary/Linguistics

When studying Japanese, it can help greatly to know the terminology or jargon used. These may include different parts of speech, grammar structures, names of particles, etc. This is not an explanation of those forms, but a simple list of what they are called. Beginning students may not want to bother with these until they have completed the first lesson, although there may be some useful terms here.

Tennessee State Route 222

State Route 222 (SR 222) is a 12.9 mi long north-south state highway in southern West Tennessee. It connects the towns of Somerville and Stanton with Interstate 40 (I-40; Exit 42).

Route description
SR 222 begins in Fayette County north of Somerville at a Y-Intersection with SR 59. It heads northwest as a two-lane highway through farmland for several miles to an interchange with I-40 (Exit 42). The highway then crosses into Haywood County and temporarily widens to four-lane highway, bypassing the original two-lane alignment to the west, which is now known as Stanton Somerville Road. SR 222 then narrows to two-lanes and enters Stanton as Lafayette Street, where it passes through some neighborhoods before coming to an end at an intersection with US 70/US 79/SR 1 just west of downtown.

Voulgaris

Voulgaris, also transliterated as Bulgaris, is a Greek surname. Per Stefanos Voulgaris, who printed in 2016 the "Family chronicles the Voulgaris family" (of Corfu), a genealogical book written in Venetian Corfu, which cites a 15th-century testament of Stefanos Voulgaris claiming that the founding fathers of the family were Khan Tervel, Ivan Sratsimir of Bulgaria and Stefan Eleazar who were "kings of the Triballi". In these family chronicles the author claims Bulgarian royal roots and connects the roots of the "Voulgaris family of Saint Spyridon of Corfu" to the "barbarian peoples" from Volga river, who "finally settled in Moesia near the Haemus mountains". After all, in his escape to the southwest, it was the Serbian despot Stefan Lazarević (Stefan Eliazar) who was singled out as the founder of the Bulgari family from Corfu. Through the Peloponnese, he headed to Morea and from there settled on the Ottoman-free Ionian island.

The author Stefanos Voulgaris has claimed that their family tree is well-traced and that the Voulgaris family of Corfu is unrelated to the Voulgaris family of the founder of Bulgari company, Sotirios Voulgaris.

Notable people with the surname include:

 * From the Voulgaris family of Corfu (el) (Βούλγαρις, Βούλγαρης)
 * (1634–after 1684), Greek theologian and physician
 * , 17th-century Greek writer, brother of the former
 * Eugenios Voulgaris (1716–1806), Greek Orthodox educator and Eastern Orthodox bishop
 * Stamatis Voulgaris (1774–1842), Green urban planner
 * From the Voulgaris family of Epirus of Aromanian origin
 * Sotirios Voulgaris (1857–1932), Greek jeweller, founder of the Bulgari company
 * From the Voulgaris family of Hydra (el) (Βούλγαρης)
 * Dimitrios Voulgaris (1802–1878), Greek revolutionary and Prime Minister of Greece
 * Petros Voulgaris (1884–1957), Greek admiral and Prime Minister of Greece
 * Other people named Voulgaris
