Story of twins separated at birth who later married
David Alton recounted a story of Twins separated at birth who married before realising - http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyid=2008-01-14T160420Z_01_EIC170379_RTRUKOC_0_US-TWINS-ODD.xml&WTmodLoc=NewsArt-R1-MostViewed-2 But has this story actually been corroborated by anyone else? —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:15, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

 * The story has all the hallmarks of an urban myth. An unlikely story with a moral twist. The reteller has always been told the story by someone in the "know". But none of it ever seems to be provable. The most shocking aspect is the way the news media both newspapers and TV covered the story without qualifcation as though it was proven fact. (Goldmanuk (talk) 11:24, 18 January 2008 (UTC))

 * This story was in fact, recounted and confirmed by a high court judge, and is not an urban myth. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:20, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

 * That is not my understanding. He stood up in the House of Lords and said he had heard the story from a judge (whom he did not name). No further evidence was ever produced. I agree it seems a classic urban myth. BrainyBabe (talk) 22:44, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Enumerator (computer science)

An enumerator is a Turing machine with an attached printer. The Turing machine can use that printer as an output device to print strings. Every time the Turing machine wants to add a string to the list, it sends the string to the printer. Enumerator is a type of Turing machine variant and is equivalent with Turing machine.

Formal definition
An enumerator $$E$$ can be defined as a 2-tape Turing machine (Multitape Turing machine where $$ k=2 $$) whose language is $$\empty$$. Initially, $$E$$ receives no input, and all the tapes are blank (i.e., filled with blank symbols). Newly defined symbol $$\#\in \Gamma\land\#\notin \Sigma$$ is the delimiter that marks end of an element of $$S$$. The second tape can be regarded as the printer, strings on it are separated by $$\#$$. The language enumerated by an enumerator $$E$$ denoted by $$L(E)$$ is defined as set of the strings on the second tape (the printer).

Equivalence of Enumerator and Turing Machines
A language over a finite alphabet is Turing Recognizable if and only if it can be enumerated by an enumerator. This shows Turing recognizable languages are also recursively enumerable.

Proof

A Turing Recognizable language can be Enumerated by an Enumerator

Consider a Turing Machine $$M$$ and the language accepted by it be $$L(M)$$. Since the set of all possible strings over the input alphabet $$\Sigma$$ i.e. the Kleene Closure $$\Sigma^{*}$$ is a countable set, we can enumerate the strings in it as $$s_{1},s_{2},\dots ,s_{i},$$ etc. Then the Enumerator enumerating the language $$L(M)$$ will follow the steps:

1 for i = 1,2,3,... 2 Run $$M$$ with input strings $$s_{1}, s_{2}, \dots, s_{i}$$ for $$i$$-steps 3 If any string is accepted, then print it.

Now the question comes whether every string in the language $$L(M)$$ will be printed by the Enumerator we constructed. For any string $$w$$ in the language $$L(M)$$ the TM $$M$$ will run finite number of steps(let it be $$k$$ for $$w$$) to accept it. Then in the $$k$$-th step of the Enumerator $$w$$ will be printed. Thus the Enumerator will print every string $$M$$ recognizes but a single string may be printed several times.

An Enumerable Language is Turing Recognizable

It's very easy to construct a Turing Machine $$M$$ that recognizes the enumerable language $$L$$. We can have two tapes. On one tape we take the input string and on the other tape, we run the enumerator to enumerate the strings in the language one after another. Once a string is printed in the second tape we compare it with the input in the first tape. If it's a match, then we accept the input, else reject.

On Wikipedia, being bold is important.

Article Evaluation - Absolutely True Diary Of a Part-Time Indian
 * lack of information on Alexie's background and how it's relevant to the novel in "Sherman Alexie's biographical background and purpose" section but appears in "Autobiographical elements" section - wouldn't these two sections convey the same message? Seems redundant
 * Appears to be multiple footnote links that do not lead to a valid source (i.e. introduction after "plot" (#6) - maybe referenced article has been deleted?
 * Plot section - deaths of all his family members are at the end of the plot but that is confusing to the reader since they aren't in sequential order with the recounting of the plot

Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian Edits
 * While suffering some injuries from the game, Junior and his coach become closer as Coach tells him that he admires Junior’s commitment to the team. Later on, his grandmother, who Junior looks up to most, is hit and killed by a drunk driver. Some time after his grandmother’s funeral, a family friend, Eugene, is shot in the face by his friend Bobby after fighting over alcohol. After grieving and reflecting on his loved ones’ deaths, Junior plays in his basketball team’s second match against Wellpinit.

Later, Junior receives news of the her sister and her husband were killed while their trailer was burning down.

Looking for Alaska Themes Section:

Search for Meaning- After Alaska’s death, Pudge and Colonel investigate the circumstances surrounding the traumatic event. While looking for answers, the boys are subconsciously dealing with their grief, and their obsession over these answers transforms into a search for meaning. Pudge and Colonel want to find out the answers to certain questions surrounding Alaska’s death, but in reality, they are enduring their own labyrinths of suffering. When their theology teacher Mr. Hyde poses a question to his class about the meaning of life, Pudge takes this opportunity to write about it as a labyrinth of suffering. He accepts that it exists and admits that even though the tragic loss of Alaska created his own labyrinth of suffering, he “'still believes in the Great Perhaps,'” signifying that Pudge can only search for meaning of his life through inevitable grief and suffering. Literary scholar Barb Dean analyzes Pudge and the Colonel’s quest for answers as their venture into finding a deeper meaning to life. Because it “becomes their obsession, a way to navigate around the really stark pain of their loss,” Dean states that it leads to Pudge finding his way through his own personal labyrinth of suffering and finding deeper meaning to his life.

Transformation from Adolescence to Adulthood- When a loved one dies unexpectedly, it takes a toll on his or her family and friends. This is the case for the students at Culver Creek Boarding School, but more specifically for her closest friends, Pudge and the Colonel. Scholar Barb Dean explores this theme, where she asserts that it is normal to seek answers about what happened and why. She also states that in writing Looking for Alaska, John Green wished to dive deeper into the grieving process by asking the question “…how does one rationalize the harshness and messiness of life when one has, through stupid, thoughtless, and very human actions, contributed to that very harshness?” Pudge and the Colonel blame themselves for Alaska’s death because they do not stop her from driving while intoxicated, so their grieving process consists of seeking answers surrounding her death since they feel as if it is their responsibility for leading her to her death. They grow up faster than expected while investigating Alaska’s death because, as Dean states, by exploring his labyrinth of suffering, it is his “rite of passage” into adulthood as he begins to learn more about himself through his grieving for Alaska.

Hope- The theme of hope plays a major role in Looking for Alaska because even though the some of the novel’s prominent themes are about death, grief and loss, John Green ties hope into the end of the novel to solve Pudge’s internal conflict brought on by Alaska’s death. In Barb Dean’s chapter about the novel, she takes a closer look into Mr. Hyde’s theology class where he discusses the similarity between the founding figures of Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism, “'that each brought a message of radical hope'” Mr. Hyde also asks the class what their call for hope is, which, for Pudge, is his escape of his personal labyrinth of suffering. For Pudge, as Dean examines in her chapter, his call for hope is knowing that “suffering is real and cannot be removed” but also knowing that “it can be navigated through friends, through forgiveness, and through the belief that people are ‘greater than the sum of [their] parts’". Dean offers Green's words that he writes fiction in order to “'keep that fragile strand of radical hope [alive], to build a fire in the darkness.’”

The goal of the course is to better understand ongoing controversy among specialists about the evolution of animal body plans, in particular the most fundamental aspects such as body axes, germ layers, segmentation, cell types, organ systems and body parts. Students will examine primary literature and create or substantially edit wikipedia articles that are relevant to the course topics discussed in class.

Week 1

 * Introduction to how Wikipedia will be used in the course
 * Understanding Wikipedia as a community, we'll discuss its expectations and etiquette.

Handout: [http://wikiedu.org/editingwikipedia Editing Wikipedia

]

 * Basics of editing
 * Anatomy of Wikipedia articles, what makes a good article, how to distinguish between good and bad articles

Handouts:, [http://wikiedu.org/evaluatingwikipedia Evaluating Wikipedia

]

 * Create an account and then complete the online training for students. During this training, you will make edits in a sandbox and learn the basic rules of Wikipedia.
 * Create a User page.
 * Begin exploring topics related to your topic area to get a feel for how Wikipedia is organized. What areas seem to be missing? As you explore, make a mental note of articles that seem like good candidates for improvement.

All students have Wikipedia user accounts and are listed on the course page.

Week 2

 * Be prepared to explain close paraphrasing, plagiarism, and copyright violations on Wikipedia.

Talk:Jeans Revolution

See Talk:Belarusian presidential election, 2006. That's the problem with well-meaning original research. Newspapers should be source of information about news, not about definitions of things. Journalists rarely dig deep. mikka (t) 20:14, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

IMO, there is no need to keep this entry, it mostly duplicates the reaction section of Belarusian presidential election, 2006. It needs to be merged there! Occuserpens 21:41, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * No merge. Duplicate content may be removed, but the article must stay precisely because people in the West are clueless with respect to the term. Also, the article may be expanded. mikka (t) 22:48, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

If you really wanna change sth, rename this article to something like "oposition movements in Belarus 2006" and change this page to a redirect. This article should look like the Orange_Revolution article, just add newses dayly. <IP_ADDRESS> 10:12, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Neutrality
Why has the neutrality sign been added - it is a true facts; there is nothing there that is a lie or even vaguely untrue, is has quotes from both sides?? UKWiki 16:34, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Images
There are some images from Minsk available on Commons. See commons:Category:Politics of Belarus. --EugeneZelenko 20:43, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

to revolt or not to revolt, that is the question...
Part of the objections on the deletion discussion relate to whether or not the Jeans Revolution is a real revolution or not.

Well, as pointed out on Revolution, or rather, being even more careful, it's not clear whether any of the color revolutions are genuinely revolutions, in the sense of:
 * A revolution is a relatively sudden, and absolutely drastic change (a "complete turn-around"). This may be a change in the social or political institutions over a relatively short period of time, or a major change in its culture or economy. Some revolutions are led by the majority of the populace of a nation, others by a small band of revolutionaries. Compare rebellion.

That article uses the term political revolutions. So far, there has been no change in government/head of state due to the Jeans Revolution. On the other hand, 10,000 people gathering in the central square was apparently unprecedented in recent Belarus history - so it may qualify as a relatively important change in the way belarusians do politics. Anyway, to satisfy people complaining that it's not a revolution, maybe we should add something like the following to the first paragraph:

 * As of late March, 2006, these efforts and aspirations had not caused a change in government of Belarus, so despite the name, they may not constitute a true revolution.

Boud 16:23, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Done; in simpler words. No need for dates here. If the actual revolution happens, I am sure the date wuill be added immediately. mikka (t) 16:33, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Powerscourt Waterfall

Powerscourt Waterfall (Eas Chonaill) is the second highest waterfall in Ireland at 121 metres high, it is located at the base of Glensoulan on the River Dargle near Enniskerry, County Wicklow.

Powerscourt is overlooked by the peaks of Djouce (725 m) and Maulin (570 m), and flows continuously all year in a horsetail-fan pattern. The waterfall is part of the Powerscourt Estate, which is open to the public for an entrance fee.

Geography
Powerscourt Waterfall, known in Irish as Eas Chonaill, lies at the base of the Glensoulan valley, a hanging valley, through which the River Dargle flows from its source on the southern slopes of Tonduff mountain, eventually falling into the steep corrie in which the waterfall lies.

Several mountains surround the upper section of the Glensoulan valley in a "horseshoe-shape", being: Maulin 570 m, Tonduff 642 m, War Hill 686 m, and Djouce 725 m. The waterfall is bounded by Crone Woods on its northern section.

Geology
Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI) regard the waterfalls an "important site for both the glacial feature and for the geological influence of the rocks themselves on the formation of the waterfall"; and describe the Powerscourt corrie, in which the waterfall sits, as "a fine example of glacial erosion, where accumulated ice has scoured out a deep basin, with a waterfall flowing down the steep backwall".

The Powerscourt waterfall flows over Irish Ribband Group schists, which sit in a metamorphic aureole of Leinster granite. The cleavage (or schistosity) dips steeply outwards, paralleling the sides of the granite pluton, which forms the surface over which the water cascades; however, the GSI note the contact between schist and granite is some distance upstream of the waterfall.

Both boulders of schist (a silvery-sheen appearance), and of granite (a speckled crystalline appearance), can be seen in the pools at the base of the waterfall.

Access
The waterfall is part of the Powerscourt Estate, who grant paid-access to the public through a separate visitor entrance (6 miles from the main estate entrance) during set times. At the base of the waterfall are visitor facilities, car parking, picnic and barbecue area, and various concessions.

The waterfall can also be viewed from Ride Rock in Crone Woods, which also offers trails to the summit of Maulin. A 7-kilometre 3-hour hill-walking route known as the Maulin Circuit, takes in Crone Woods, Maulin and the Powerscourt waterfall.

Notable events
In August 1821, during the visit of King George IV to Ireland, Richard Wingfield, 5th Viscount Powerscourt dammed the waterfall so he could release a torrent while the two stood on the bridge below the falls. For reasons unknown, the king did not leave the banquet at Powerscourt House to view the waterfall, which was fortunate as, when the water was finally released, the bridge was washed away.

In popular culture
The waterfall appears in the medieval fantasy film Excalibur (1981) and the television historical drama series Vikings (2013–2020).

Some of the waterfalls scenes for Willow (film) were shot at these falls, and Burney Falls in Northern California was also used for filming.

Icy is a free, open source image processing platform developed by the Quantitative Image Analysis Unit at Institut Pasteur, Paris, France. This platform comprises two components: a Java-based software for image processing, and a community website that gathers community-contributed resources including third-party plug-ins. The software is available as a downloadable application for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux running Java version 6 or later. The community website is written in PhP and MySQL.

Icy's development is divided into the core application (or kernel) and plug-ins. The kernel is maintained by Fabrice de Chaumont and Stephane Dallongeville, while plug-in development is a global community effort, initially motivated by the members of the Quantitative Analysis Unit at Institut Pasteur.

The number of contributed plug-ins is 129 as of July 2012.

History
Icy was first presented in April 2011 at the ISBI symposium (IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging) in Chicago, IL, USA, as a result of 15 months of active development by its architects, Fabrice de Chaumont and Stephane Dallongeville, under the supervision of Prof. Jean-Christophe Olivo-Marin. Icy is the result of a 10+ year long experience of image processing software development in the Quantitative Image Analysis Unit at Institut Pasteur, where two previous softwares had been previously developed although they were only available through private collaborations.

Supported image formats
Icy relies on the Bio-Formats library for image loading and saving, giving access to over 100 different file formats from most of the manufacturers in the biological imaging industry (a full list of supported formats is available here).

In-App plug-in installation
Icy provides an in-app browser to view, download, install and upgrade plug-ins in a single click without the need to restart the application.

Visual programming environment
Icy provides a visual programming language called Blocks and its corresponding plug-in called Protocols that lets users create graphical image processing pipelines without the need for programming knowledge. Protocols can be saved and shared online via the Icy website, and submitted alongside a publication to comply with the reproducible research initiative. Published protocols can then be downloaded by others, either to reproduce published results, or to be further manipulated, extended and resubmitted online, a process termed by the project founders as Extended Reproducible Research.

The visual programming language is also open to third-party contribution, such that new blocks can be independently developed by the community and submitted online similarly to plug-ins. Submitted blocks will then automatically be available for download and for use within the Protocols interface.

Open-source development
Icy supports the open-source initiative in three fundamental aspects:
 * 1) Full code availability: the kernel source code is permanently available online (hosted on github), where issues and opinions are publicly discussed throughout the development.
 * 2) Open contribution: the submission of third-party contributions on the Icy website (plug-ins, protocols, etc.) is not reviewed by the maintainers, availability of submitted material is therefore immediate.

Development environment
Icy is developed under the Eclipse environment. To simplify plug-in development, a specific Eclipse plug-in called icy4eclipse has been developed by Nicolas Hervé to speed-up the creation of plug-in skeletons, such that they include all necessary libraries and references for immediate testing and submission online.

Development toolkits
Several library plug-ins are available to aid the development of plug-ins, notably in the context of graphical interface design.
 * The EzPlug library provides a flexible mechanism to create standardized interface, while requiring little or no knowledge in graphical interface programming.
 * The Vars library provides a lower-level interface to manipulate algorithm variables, and provides routines to automatically generate the associated graphical interface to receive user input
 * The Blocks library gives access to the visual programming language, letting developers create their own blocks for use within the Protocols interface.

Talk:German/Level I/Wie heißt du

Various Topics
In this lesson, it says that "Mein Name ist ..." would be considered incorrect. Er ... um ... no. It's correct. It's slightly less common, and a little more formal than "Ich heiße ..."

I just started reading through the questions and answers, but when I got to the Wie Geht's section problems, a question asks for the word for terrific, which was previously given as Klasse!, but when referring to the answers, it uses Toll!. I think that either Toll! should be added to the lists of responses or the answer to the question should become Klasse! .

Need a guide to pronunciation - how does the esset sound? Is there some phoenetic guidance that can possibly be written down? Any way of including WAV or other audio files to cover the basic pronunciations?
 * I added a link to the pronunciation guide, which has a pretty good overview of the pronunciations of all letters. I can't do audio, but others on the site can. - SamE 05:01, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)

 * The es-szet sounds no different than the ess-ess. It has another "purpose" (see link to pronunciation guide) - Marsh 20:42, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)

SamE - Is there a reason for having a Lesson Overview that so closely matches the page TOC? - Marsh 20:42, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)
 * It works when there isn't a table of contents; you can delete the one on lesson 1 if you want. It also can be a "plan" for the page before I get the page up and running. - SamE 22:00, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)

 * That makes sense. The TOC "appears" once you have a certain number of header lines on a page. But the "plan" idea sounds good as a development tool. - Marsh 17:06, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Corrected two Anglicism: 'So so' and 'Später' -> 'Ganz gut' and 'Bis später'.
 * You don't need to tell us what you've done. We can see it in the Page history or Recent Changes.
 * Log in so you can edit pages with a username. - SamE 17:34, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * I suspect the earlier entries may have been Floflei6 before he got his nom de plume. For information: explain on talk pages only when you want to emphasize why a possibly controversial change was made or propose a major change and want consensus. - Marsh 17:47, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I'm just curious, when you list the pronouns you put du and Sie together, which is true, but when you list the conjugations you don't make Sie clear. To me this might suggest that Sie would fit in with the conjugations of du rather then those of sie.. --Alexbl 02:17, 29 May 2004 (UTC)
 * I had that in the note below the blue table, but I guess it wasn't that clear. I tried to fix that just now. - SamE 03:34, 29 May 2004 (UTC)

This lesson is pretty much locked down. Please don't make any big changes (i.e. new sections, deleting/rewriting entire sections, etc.) without consulting this page first. - SamE 19:00, 29 May 2004 (UTC)

The names section, with "our,their,hers his its" does not mention that these are english possesive pronouns. it seems to me there are no possesive pronouns in german. whatever the case may be, some mention of this needs to go on the page. Hfastedge 19:45, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * This was just an attempt to explain something the long way without actually introducing conjugations until the "Verbs" section. I added a couple comments to clarify it. Please tell me if you can think of another way to do this. Thanks for reading the lesson and helping us out. - SamE 02:47, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Is it Tschüss, or Tschüs? I have a 1993 dictionary and a 2000 textbook, and both say it only has one 's'. - SamE 20:35, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * it's Tschüss --Moolsan 22:04, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Actually, since it is informal language, either Tschüs, Tschüss or Tschüß may be used and found. This is a bit weird, since the word is almost exclusively used in talk, not in the writing. Endymi0n 04:33, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

"Tschau, Susi!"

---> nonsense. Tschau is a "Verballhornung" of Ciao(it.).

This is not German. Susi is no common German name, it is a reduction of Susanne.

Regional other prases are used:

"Tschüss" (Hamburg) ("adjüst" (Helgoland), "Ade", adieu(fr.))

 * There isn't much else that is used as an informal good-bye, so if you have any other better suggestions, please put them here. - SamE 03:06, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * Right. As stated above this is weird, because there is no such word as "bye" which is used in both talk and writing. "Hi"/"Hallo" for greeting and "Tschau" (ciao)/"Tschüs" for goodbye are quite common, but there is a tendence to use regional words as "Moin" and "Grüß Gott". However, these clearly indicate you as coming from a certain part of Germany (Austria,Switzerland) when mentioned in the wrong part. The statement beneath correctly mentions the use of the phrase "Mach's gut" as a common indirect way to say goodbye. May be added... Endymi0n 04:33, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

 * informal hellos and good-byes are very different, corresponding with the dialects. I would never use one of the above, but Servus or Pfüadi, but this is not for a first chapter. A phrase i heared nearly in every circumstances is "Machs gut!" or "Machen Sies gut!", which is only used when people are frendly (no matter weather they use Sie or Du).

 * It is important instead to add parts like Servus/Grüßgott - we had exchange studendts and I am from Regensburg, Germany. When they came they expected people to say "Guten Morgen!" and friends to say "Tschüß!", but this did not happen. People there simply doesn't use this forms. So they should be added and explained in a note. This will help students when they come to Germany/Austria to understand immediately what people said. Of course one should not add dialect there, but only these few very important words. Maybe even the others like Ade etc. should be added in the note. --SabineCretella 08:22, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

somewhere it is mentioned 'das mädchen' but i think it should be 'die mädchen', if im wrong, plz tell me, lest i continue learning wrong Nikhil bandale, email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>learnin deutsch all the way

 * Mädchen ends in -chen, then it's a very good guess to assume das. And yes, it is das Mädchen. (remember, capital M :) Mike 18:22, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * "das Mädchen" is actually right. Sounds weird as it is referring to a feminine person, but the neutral aspect refers to the miniaturisation "-chen". Endymi0n 04:33, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

I am german an just read the first lessons. You did it really fine; nobody can believe, that every thing is explained in the first lesson! Learn step by step! It's true, that "Tschau" is a german version from "ciao", but only if you know eachother well and feel good. "Tschüß" is the origin form, sice 2002 we have to write double s, one s can't be correct, you always pronounce it with double ss. The ß is also pronounced. 60 years ago, the german knew thre forms to write s, I think it was first a cause of "good looking and easy writing" (with hand). There existe no Institution in germany for correct writing and til 19th century everybody could write as he liked. The german language includes many other languages and also some grammar of other languages. So meanwhile it's correct to say "Mein Name ist...". Every word with "~chen" or "~lein" means little and get the Artikel "das". In former times houses and farmes had female workers called "die Magd", a little one is "das Mädchen" and now common for every female child; the older words "die Göre" or "die Dirn" (in lower Saxonie "die Deern")changed their meaning: Göre is a cheeky girl and Dirne someone who sells sex. In Southgermany you can use "Das Madel". Be sure, german girls don't like to be "das"!

Pronunciation?
Hi! Thanks to everyone involved in the project. It is a very good guide for beginners but it is really handicapped by the lack of pronunciation for words. I think audio files for the conversations would really do a world of good to the project. I did not know Ich was pronounced as Ish and instead read it as Ikh. Thanks anyway.

 * On my way of doing so... =) BTW: Both pronounciations are wrong, there is no adequate reference in English vocals. Try to pronounce "ch" as a "sh" but touch your palatine not with the tip, but with the middle of your tongue. Endymi0n 04:33, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

I think "Ich" can be pronounced in either way; it seems to be a north/south dialect difference. I've seen pronounciation guides all over the internet and one of the things many of them seem to stress is that the "ch" can be pronounced either "sh" or "kh" and still be correct.

Also, I would like to help with making audiofiles for pronouncing the words, but wikipedia says it prefers this "OGG" format that I've never heard of and I can't find any software that supports saving audio in it. Can someone tell me what it can be made in? Would it really matter too much if I submit it in MP3? --Shdwninja8 21:14, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

 * "[kh]" (with a very soft "k" if pronounced at all) is always the right way to say "ch". Everything else is a regional dialect.
 * MP3 is afaik a patented. [Vorbis.com] provides tools for the free OGG format.
 * --Messi 23:10, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

sorry, but this is not true. the pronounciation "ikh" is only used specific dialekt. The normal "high german" pronounciation just has no english equivalent or similiarity... The sound for the "ch" part of the word is produced by having your tounge loosley in your mouth (without touching your teeth or anything inside your mouth) and use a small amount of air with the right speed

 * Well here's an easy way to get the idea: It's just like the ch in Michigan or Chicago. The usual English ch (change, charge, China) is pronounced tch, remove the t/d and it's exactly right (well, not exactly, it's still more like "sch"). <IP_ADDRESS> 22:48, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

The boy throws the sphere
I think using "die Kugel" as German translation for "ball" is just wrong; the appropriate word would be "der Ball". In some situations, "Kugel" is best translated as "ball", but in most cases, the meaning is more "technical", more "sphere" than "ball". "Kugel" definitely doesn't remind me of anything that is usually thrown by boys.

"Der Junge spielt der Ball" is incorrect, it should be "den Ball" (cases)

 * This is literally translated as "The boy plays the ball" which is nonsense. Correct tranlation is "Der Junge spielt mit dem Ball" (boy plays with the ball) or "Der Junge spielt Ball" which means the boy playing a ball game.

einen?
What is this article einen? as in the sentence "Der Mann hat einen Hut." (I am a beginner.) -- Taku 05:37, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Take a look at German: Lesson 3 (Indefinite Articles). einen is indefinite article ein (masculine) in accusative case.

 * Thanks! -- Taku

A bit of cleanup
Now that I'm back, I'm afraid I don't agree with many of the changes that have been made. Over the next few edits, I'm making some major changes to each section. If anyone has a problem with or a question about this, please tell me right here. - SamE 16:33, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

If in doubt...
...about anything, please contact me under endymi0n at trojasonic dot com. I'm native speaker (born and raised in Germany) and my mother teaches German for foreigners. I also did the German Alphabet recording, so if you like it, stroke my soul - I could make some more... =) Greetz, Endymi0n 04:33, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

on questions of format in forming questions
Hey! I am really having a good time using the lessons and am learning quite a lot, but I simply wanted to say that on the section on forming questions it's not very linear. For instance, in the first two paragraphs there should be a consistent phrase instead of using different phrases throughout the paragraphs. However, if the intent is to continue using the different phrases, there should be a break in the text or label it is an example. Just a thought. <IP_ADDRESS> 05:05, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

? Incorrect form in 2nd Conversation
I am questioning the form used for asking the other persons name in this conversation. Is Herr Schwarz older than Franz, or have they met previously? If not, then using "Wie heisst du?" is incorrect, it should be "Wie heissen Sie?", since Sie is proindicated for use where both parties are adult (unless they have agreed to use du), or formal siuations where neither party has met the other, and should be used until they are familiar enough to use du.

Ca you clarify how this situation / conversation formed, and the forms used to support the text? Tmalmjursson 13:05, 11 February 2006 (UTC) Thor's pet yack

 * To me, a native speaker, the dialogue sounds like Herr Schwarz is older than Franz, as you said. I assume Franz is meant to be a child, because only then you get a situation in which one uses "du" while the other uses "Sie". Epsilon 18:11, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I wouldn't worry about the formal forms. I wouldn't use "du" to address a total stranger, a teacher, business man and so on, but no one's gonna kill you if you do. After all they'll be able to tell from your accent that you're not a native and will be positively surprised. It's not like in some Asian cultures where you "lose your face" when you use the wrong honorific. I'm not saying that the rules are wrong, but don't be afraid to commit a faux pas, where not nearly as strict as we're said to be. Same goes for the greeting: No one will be offended when you say "Hi!", although it's probably uncommon for anyone over 30 ;-)

SZ?
I disagree with the statement "upper case ß is written as 'SZ'". I've never ever seen it.

For one thing, ß never is the first letter of a word, so in everyday wiritng it doesn't need to be capitalized. If you want to capitalize a whole word, you'd use SS (Süßigkeiten --> SÜSSIGKEITEN).

Any different views? Epsilon 18:17, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree that you will rarely see it even though this sould not have been the case. See here for clarification. Thus it should now be changed to SS in the article. However, I would still continue to use MASZE for Maße, MASSE for Masse to make it easier to understand. Regards --<IP_ADDRESS> 19:40, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Among others, the East German Duden apparently once made an attempt to introduce an upper case "ß" many years ago, but until this day such a glyph is not being used. Up until the spelling reform, Both SZ and SS were correct, when spelling a word in capitals only, such as in "DAS GROSSE/GROSZE HAUS". Note that "GROßE" never has been correct, even if it is often seen, e.g. in publicity. Today, only SS is correct. However, in professional context (I'm an architect) I still prefer the "wrong" SZ, to avoid the aforementioned confusion between "Maße" / "Masse", as both words are quite common there Thamane 20:39, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Note, that there is also a large ß. Since 2008 the large ß has even it own unicode. More information in German: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fes_%C3%9F <IP_ADDRESS> (discuss) 22:44, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Alphabet
The order you are using in the alphabet table is quite unfamiliar to a German native speaker. We just take that direction: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz äöüß, not mixing umlauts into usual alphabet HolgiDE 10:49, 21 Mar 2006 (UTC)
 * We do, but only if we actually spell the alphabet. Where, for example, would you look up Ärger, Ökonom, and über in a dictionary? Among A, O, and U, respectively, right? Note to non-German speakers: ä, ö, ü, and ß don't have places in the alphabet. Therefore, if you have to find an alphabetical order for words containing umlaute, you'd treat them as ae, oe, ue, and ss. Epsilon 10:24, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Sometimes they are treated as just a, o, u and s, as well. So if you don't find a word in one place, look in the other.
 * "you'd treat them as ae, oe, ue, and ss" - Never heard of that, as far as I know, Ä is either listed after A (A, Aal, Antenne, Arbeit, Atom, azur, Ärger), or as if it was an A (…Arbeit, Ärger, Atom…). … Okay, I looked in my Duden (standard German dictionary), here how they do it: äöü is treated like aou and ß as ss, but before ss if the word is the same (i.e. Maße, Masse).

Recording speech
Hey there!

I just registered at the english Wikibooks (though I've been quite active in the german one before), and I'd like to contribute to this Wikibook. I am willing to record some of the dialogues in this lesson (or probably in some of the other lessons as well) and provide the audio files to this community for free and for free use. Since German is my native tongue, this shouldn't be much of a problem.

Please tell me what I am supposed to do.

Cheers!

Mistake in title
In title "Wie Heißt du?" the word "heißt" has to be written with a small capital, but this would change the name of the file/link. Maybe someone wants to change that.

--HolgiDE 10:35, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Sentence Structure
'The common word order in a German sentence is the same as in English: Subject verb Objects. (SvO)'

 * That's not the case. The syntax requires the (finite) verb being the 2nd part of every main sentence; 'Fußball spielt der Junge' is equally correct, but now the object is stressed. (Translation: 'Soccer is the game the boy plays' or sth. like that) The German syntax requires the finite verb to be the first part of every question, apart from interrogative pronouns, and requires the finite verb to be last part of a subordinate clause.

 * The standard word order is subject-verb-object. However, you can place almost any part in the first place, in particular objects and adverbs. But this is not the standard word order. --Martin Kraus (talk) 08:41, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Umlauts
This is a sentence from the section about umlauts: "In writing, the umlauts are sometimes substituted with the vowel plus e, i.e ae, oe and ue." That i.e. is confusing. The first time I read it I didn't get it... I understood what the sentence means, but I just didn't get the examples it was showing because of the i.e. Maybe it should be changed to "for example". <IP_ADDRESS> 12:40, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Formation
Is the formation of "Ich heiße Asd" something like "I'm called Asd" or "I'm named Asd"? Just to know, 'cause in portuguese it's really much like that "Eu me chamo Asd" (literally: "I call myself Asd") being used more than "Meu nome é Asd" (literally: "My name is Asd"). <IP_ADDRESS> 23:34, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

It's just "Ich heiße Asd." There's no structure to it to compare it to in English or Portuguese. "Heißen" is a verb that just means "to be called ...", "to be named ...", "to have the name/meaning" etc. Ich = "I" heiße = "am called", "am named", "have the name".

Names
hi. in the names section on this page in the little blue box it says that "Wie heißt ihr?" means "what are your names?" but then it says (outside the blue box) that the plural form is "Wie heißen..." I'm very confused.
 * It depends on who or what you are asking about. Wie heißt ihr? is how you ask a group of people what their names are; Like "What are your(plural) names?" Wie heißen sie? would be how you ask ABOUT a group of people; Like, "What are their names?" hope that makes sense. Also NB: Wie heißen Sie? (with a capital S) is the formal version of "What is your name?"

error in venn diagram
"guten morgen" means "good morning" and is not a form of goodbye

 * Good morning is also a form of goodbye in both German and English. In English it isn't as common anymore; don't know about German. Anyway, not an error.

 * "guten morgen" should be "guten Morgen" and is no longer a form of goodbye in German. I removed the Venn diagram, because of the typos in it. Also, it doesn't make sense to teach students who want to learn German about Venn diagrams. --Martin Kraus (talk) 08:37, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Keyboard Shortcuts for Umlauts and Eszett
I notice that you provide keyboard shortcuts for Windows and Mac computers to enter German characters, but what about users of Linux. For them, you can simply say that they can find the "Character Map" under Applications>Accesories>Character Map from the GNOME Desktop.

Agomulka (talk) 02:49, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Tagchen!
I've never heart someone saying "Tagchen!". Maybe in a small dialect? Some people say "Tachchen", but nobode would write that. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:48, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I agree. However, you might pronounce the "g" in "Tagchen" as a "ch" and still write it with a "g". This pronunciation of "g" is actually quite common, e.g. for "König"; I also heard people pronounce the "g" as a "ch" in "Kollege". --Martin Kraus (talk) 23:32, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I have removed "Tagchen" because it is not in the recording. --Martin Kraus (talk) 23:27, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Servus
I think it´s wrong, that it´s only used in Eastern Austria. I´m from Bavaria and have often heard it there. I don´t know what it´s like in other parts of Germany, but I reckon they use it too.
 * In Northern Germany 'servus' is not used. However, you can here it in Munich. It is therefore not restricted to Austria, but I would guess that its not used anywhere outside the "Austro-Bavaria hemisphere". <IP_ADDRESS> (discuss) 22:38, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Ich heiße_...
Note, that in German, unlike in English, there must be a space in front of the ellipse (…), if the sentence and not the word is not finished. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:51, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

 * True, be bold and change it, please. --Martin Kraus (talk) 23:33, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Splitting the Lesson into 3
Since there is far too much content in this beginner lesson, I suggest to split it into 3 lessons corresponding to the 3 dialogues. Any concerns about this? --Martin Kraus (talk) 23:31, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I've reorganized the content to prepare for splitting the lesson into three lessons. The actual split will affect a lot of pages because the following lessons have to be renumbered; therefore, I will first reorganize the content of all lessons before I actually split the file into multiple files. --Martin Kraus (talk) 21:18, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Tschüs should better be written with one 's' only, because in some regions the 'ü' is long, especially in the north. However, according to LEO also the spelling with two s is correct. <IP_ADDRESS> (discuss) 22:33, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Where I live (in Kaiserslautern in Rhineland-Palatinate), people say Tschüss with a short ü, thus the spelling with two s is more appropriate here. In the old pre-1996 orthography, it would have been spelled Tschüß. Pelzflorian (discuss • contribs) 23:01, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Ciao
I'm wondering, why the Italien 'ciao' is taught here as a common German word. You rarely here it and never write it in German, and until I read it here, I probably would have written it 'Tschau!'. It is very informal. <IP_ADDRESS> (discuss) 22:33, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Pronunciation
I feel that a short guide to German pronunciation should be given at the very beginning of this course. I know giving a section on German pronunciation can be repelling (and scaring) to the new learner, but such a section will help him avoid a lot of effort in guessing the pronunciations. A little persistence from the student will make his life a lot easy.

Dialog 1 – Names
The names ‘Franz’ and ‘Greta’ are out of fashion for decades. It could be a dialogue between 80 year old people, but German teenagers are nowadays more likely called ‘Felix’ and ‘Sarah’. Have a look at to get an idea. -- Sloyment (discuss • contribs) 10:23, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Feel free to change the names consistently and rerecord the dialogues. But please do not change the names before you have recorded and uploaded the new versions of the audio files. :) And, for the record, I know a German girl called Greta who is about 10 years old now. --Martin Kraus (discuss • contribs) 13:42, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

even if this is from 2011. if you'd looked closely at your reference, you'd noticed that greta is still in the top 60. admitted franz is out of fashion, but not that bad. I'm only 40 and we had 3 franz in class. <IP_ADDRESS> (discuss) 06:54, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Dialog 1 – “Kennst du den Lehrer?”
This phrase is unidiomatic, i.e. it can be understood, but nobody would say it in that way. More realistic alternatives would be “Sag mal, weißt du, wie der Lehrer heißt?” or better “Wie heißt eigentlich unser [neuer] Lehrer?”. “Kennst du den Lehrer?” actually means “Do you know him personally?”, to which you could answer e.g. “Ja, wir sind gut befreundet.” or “Ich kenne ihn nur vom sehen.” -- Sloyment (discuss • contribs) 10:23, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

 * I think the question is OK in this context because it kind of asks whether you had him as a teacher before. More importantly, it is grammatically easier to understand than other alternatives. --Martin Kraus (discuss • contribs) 13:48, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Trouble is: Kennst Du den Lehrer which is a literal translation of do you know our teacher, doesn't mean the same. The German phrase 'kennst Du' means if you know him (personally). Better would be 'Weißt Du wer unser Lehrer ist?" Do you know who our teacher is?.<IP_ADDRESS> (discuss) 06:43, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

 * While one may prefer your form, 'Kennst du den Lehrer?' is not wrong. It is as acceptable as the English translation 'Do you know the teacher?'. And it's simpler than your proposal. Pelzflorian (discuss • contribs) 22:56, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Minuca minax

Minuca minax, commonly known as the red‐jointed fiddler crab or brackish-water fiddler crab, is a species of fiddler crab that is found in the United States from Massachusetts to the Gulf of Mexico. It is one of the most common macroinvertebrates in salt marshes in these states. It prefers areas of lower salinity than other fiddler crabs, and can be found in great numbers along the banks of tidal streams, even at distances greater than 50 km from the sea.

Minuca minax was formerly in the genus Uca, but in 2016 it was placed in the genus Minuca, a former subgenus of Uca.

Description
Like other fiddler crabs, Minuca minax males have one claw that is significantly larger than the other, while females have two equal-sized smaller claws. The joints on the claws are red, a noticeable feature that is the origin of the common name "red‐jointed fiddler crab".

Reproduction
Minuca minax breed for two weeks in the summer in a small round burrow dug by the male. The larvae are unable to survive in the lower-salinity brackish water preferred by adults, and the adults do not travel to the sea to release the larvae. As such, the larvae use ebb tides to travel to higher-salinity environments to develop before returning as adults.

Lluís Vicenç Gargallo

Lluís Vicenç Gargallo otherwise Luis Vicente Gargallo (circa 1636 — 19 February 1682) was a musician and composer from the Baroque period.

Biography
Gargallo was born most probably in the Valencian Community. He entered as a child in the choir of the Valencia Cathedral towards 1648-1649 and stayed there until 1651 or 1652. There he received his first musical training given by the mestres de capella Francesc Navarro (until 1650) and Dídac Pontac.

On 7 June 1659, Gargallo succeeded the mestre de capella of the Huesca Cathedral, a position where Vargas i Babán had preceded him. He resigned to the place on 15 November 1667 to join two days later in the Barcelona Cathedral in the same position. As usual, he entered temporarily until the death of the holder, Marcià Albareda (21 August 1673), replacing him after that. Among his disciples in Barcelona, there were the future mestres de capella and composers Josep Gaz and Isidre Serrada. Gargallo died on 19 February 1682 in Barcelona, and was replaced temporarily by Jaume Riera, until Joan Barter took on the position on 13 July 1682.

Of his compositional production, extensive as it would be expected from a mestre de capella, a minimum of 74 different compositions have been preserved, distributed mainly in six archives: in the Library of Catalonia, in the cathedrals of Girona and Zaragoza, in the chapel of the Real Colegio Seminario del Corpus Christi, in Valencia, and the churches of Sant Pere de Canet de Mar and Santa Maria de Cervera. Its conserved liturgical production includes 32 works: eight for 4 to 16 voices, a mass for the dead, four masses from 5 to 8 voices and a requiem for two choirs; In addition, he made two oratorios, twenty five villancetes and fifteen tonos. He was the first known Catalan composer to cultivate the oratorio, a typically Baroque musical form.

Liturgic works

 * Benedictus Dominus Israel
 * 2 Cum invocarem
 * 3 Dies irae
 * Dixit Dominus
 * Fratres, sobrii estote et vigilate, for 16 voices
 * 2 In te Domine speravi
 * 2 Laudate Dominum

Vishneva was trained at the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet. While at the Vaganova school, she scored the highest scores known in the school's history. During her last year at the Academy she also trained at the Mariinsky Theatre. Vishneva joined the Mariinsky Ballet Company upon her graduation in 1995. Two prizes at the start of her career at the Mariinsky – the Benois de la Danse and the Golden Sofit helped Vishneva rise up the ranks swiftly. She was promoted to principal in 1996.

Vishneva first appeared with the American Ballet Theatre during its 2003 spring season. She joined the company as a principal dancer in 2005. Vishneva retired from the ABT in 2017.

Her partners have included such well-known dancers as Angel Corella, Vladimir Malakhov and Evan McKie.

In addition to dancing with the Kirov Ballet, Vishneva has made guest appearances with many ballet companies, including not only American Ballet Theatre, but also the Bolshoi Ballet, the Paris Opera Ballet, Teatro alla Scala in Milan and Berlin State Opera in Berlin.

In October 2011, the Mariinsky Theatre hosted the premiere of the new ballet project Diana Vishneva: Dialogues, which brings together works by world class choreographers – Martha Graham (USA) Paul Lightfoot and Sol León (Netherlands) and John Neumeier (Germany). The programme, which consists of three independent ballets, has since been performed to great acclaim in Moscow and New York.

In 1998, McNab was awarded the Lester Patrick Trophy in recognition of his contributions to hockey in the United States.

Playing career
After playing junior hockey in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, McNab played on the Omaha Knights of the USHL in the 1946–48 season before being called up to the Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League in 1947. He would play on and off with the Red Wings until 1951, playing on the team that won the Stanley Cup in 1950, centering a line with Gordie Howe and Ted Lindsay. He played for the Indianapolis Capitols of the American Hockey League in 1950–51. Before the 1951–52 season, he was traded by the Red Wings to the Chicago Black Hawks, but never played for the team. Back surgery kept him out of action in 1951–52 and McNab then joined the New Westminster Royals of the Western Hockey League, where he played for seven seasons, retiring in 1959. He was voted league MVP in 1955, scoring 32 goals and 81 points.

Coaching and managing
In 1961, McNab became general manager and coach of the San Francisco Seals of the WHL. He was then coach of the WHL's Vancouver Canucks and in 1966 was hired as coach and general manager of the San Diego Gulls. He rose in the front office to vice-president by 1971. In 1974 he was named president of the Central Hockey League. Although he would only remain with the CHL for a year, the Max McNab Trophy, awarded to the most valuable player in the league's playoffs, would be named in his honor.

Near the end of 1975, he joined the NHL as general manager of the Washington Capitals, succeeding Milt Schmidt. McNab remained in that job until 1982. Under his watch, the team drafted players such as Rick Green, Ryan Walter, Mike Gartner, and Bobby Carpenter.

Midway through the 1983–84 season, McNab joined the New Jersey Devils as vice-president and general manager. He would remain their general manager until 1987, and then retired from the team and hockey in the 1990s. During his tenure as Devils' GM, players such as Chris Terreri, Kirk Muller, Sean Burke, and Eric Weinrich would be drafted.

In 1998, McNab was recognized for his contribution to ice hockey in the United States by the NHL and USA Hockey as co-recipient of the Lester Patrick Trophy.

Family
Two of McNab's three sons have hockey-related careers. Peter McNab played in the NHL for 14 seasons, scoring 363 goals and 813 points, before becoming a television color analyst. David McNab spent 43 seasons working as a scout and executive for four NHL franchises before retiring in May 2021 as the senior vice president of hockey operations for the Anaheim Ducks after 28 years with the club from its inaugural season.

McNabs Island in Nova Scotia is named in honour of the McNab family, who first settled the island in the 1780s.

Delist: Bryce Canyon
Voting period ends on 2 Oct 2019  at 10:41:56 (UTC)
 * Reason:Not used in any articles - this is one of those subjects that chews through FPs. File:Inspiration Point Bryce Canyon November 2018 panorama.jpg and File:Bryce Amphitheater from Sunrise Point Highres 2013.jpg cover this subject and meet modern FP standards.
 * Articles this image appears in:None
 * Previous nomination/s:Featured picture candidates/Bryce Canyon Amphitheater Hoodoos Panorama.jpg
 * Nominator: MER-C

 * Delist — MER-C 10:41, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delist. The procedural reasons for the delist are clear. And its replacement, File:Inspiration Point Bryce Canyon November 2018 panorama.jpg, has better composition, resolution, and I think color, although I'm not entirely convinced of the naturality of the color of either image. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:22, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * The replacement certainly looks more like the bits I've seen around there (I've been to Utah, but not Bryce Canyon specifically). Lots of red sandstone up there, and arid conditions - think Monument Valley. The one up for delisting - Oh, Delist, of course. If it matters - reminds me of 1970s/80s magazine colour reproduction; they were consistently off in that sort of direction. That sky!

Quality rating
I have downgraded the quality rating on this article to class=C today, because there is far too much unreferenced text. I've also added a 'more citations' maintenance tag to for the same reason.  PK T (alk)  13:36, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Josh Logan

The result was keep.  Sango 123  03:10, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Josh Logan
Doesn't seem to meet WP:MUSIC and reads a bit like WP:VAIN. -- Koffieyahoo 05:23, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. All American Idol contestants have articles. Plus, this isn't a stub. íslenska hurikein | #12 (samtal) 12:44, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. As noted, there's ample precedent for reality contestants having articles here. It would certainly make the main entry for Supernova way too long to incorporate them all there.--Chetfarmer 13:33, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. WP:MUSIC lists placing in a major music competition as a notability criteria. Last I checked, Rock Star: Supernova is a major music competition. Kirjtc2 14:06, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep but Remove POV - Most or all of the show contestants have articles. If this one goes the others should also be reviewed.  If it is kept, the article should have some rewrite done to remove POV/fluff, such as the paragraph: "'Playing nightly at local venues for two years as a solo artist, hosting open mic nights as well as performing three sets in just one evening to both packed and empty venues, Logan honed his skills as a solo musician. Over the years it has given his music room to breath. His music follows its own path with deep direction and soulful lyrics. Never losing touch with what commercial radio feels to be 'listener-friendly.'" --Brian G (Talk) 21:45, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Josh Logan is a notable person, he was a contestant in Rock Star: Supernova. That means that if some fan of Rock Star: Supernova wants to know more about Josh Logan, he can visit this article. We should be trying to improve wikipedia, not deleting information about people that some might find interest in ... and I do belive that Josh has a few fans all over the world. - Kuckzul 03:35, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Josh Logan is clearly a notable person, who appeared on a nationally viewed reality TV show. The deletion attempt seems overzealous and perhaps a bit misguided. The recent revisions were appropriate and improved upon the original article, which I created. Let's stop trying to delete legitimate articles. - Nhprman List  17:26, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. The reason it is being considered for deletion is because it was claimed that it "does not meet WP:MUSIC" but as Kirjtc2 commented it does due to "placing in a major music competition as a notability criteria."  All other reasons aside, THIS is the reason why the article should remain. Mike 00:50, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Well, the problem is that I wouldn't call an American TV show a major music competition. It's not the Liszt Concours or something (which doesn't even have an article btw). -- Koffieyahoo 02:02, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Perl Programming/Perl 6

Raku will separate parsing and compilation and runtime, making the virtual machine more attractive to developers looking to port other languages to the architecture.

Parrot is the Raku runtime, and can be programmed at a low level in Parrot assembly language. Parrot exists in a limited form as of June, 2003, and a small number of languages (Jako, Cola, Basic, Forth and a subset of Raku) exist simply to be 'compiled' down to Parrot assembly language opcodes.

While Raku is being developed, the best way to stay informed about what's happening is to keep an eye on Weekly Rakudo News. Go there to see glimpses of Raku.
