Talk:David Threlfall

<IP_ADDRESS>
Please revdel <IP_ADDRESS>'s recent edit to this page. MickMacNee (talk) 18:19, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. -- Diannaa (Talk) 18:28, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Twitter
I have not been active in some time, and I am not sure what has been discussed here about this.

1. When did we start deleting content from the history. 2. Could the existence of allegations be mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by TWTAnon (talk • contribs) 16:40, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Some edits have been revdeleted as they were potentially libellous. Twitter is not a reliable source. The current rumour mill is unsuitable for inclusion in the article.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 16:45, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Irish newspapers
The rumours have now been confirmed by a major Irish newspaper. I don't know at present which newspaper or whether its on their website, but it probably is. It's a realiable source for you if its on there, otherwise a user from Ireland would have to have a print copy. paul85 (talk) 02:31, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Thanks for pointing this out. The Irish newspaper the Sunday World  on 5 June 2011 had as its front page headline "PAULINE'S SHAMELESS AFFAIR - Star axed after real life sex romps with Frank". It is no great secret that the UK press has been itching to publish this for weeks, and that it is allegedly the subject of the injunction known as ETK (check out the obvious hint dropping in this Daily Mail story: ).

The Sunday World is a tabloid source, and their website does not seem to have the story (this also happened with the Sunday Herald photo of Ryan Giggs). It will be interesting to see if the Sunday World story produces further coverage. If there is reliable sourcing, it can go in the article.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 05:35, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

 * This is also in the Daily Mail today, minus the names. As with CTB v News Group Newspapers a few weeks ago, the ETK anonymised privacy injunction is now dead in the water (perhaps the River Liffey). The real issue here is whether an alleged affair between David Threlfall and Pauline McLynn is wikinotable. Not really, at the moment.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 09:15, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Added to article. Since Pauline McLynn is Irish, it should have been obvious that a London court could not prevent a Dublin-based newspaper from publishing these claims.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 10:04, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Hi, I made the original post on this earlier (although doubtless my IP will have changed, am on AOL and IP is some sort of proxy always changing every couple of hours). I thought I'd point it out having read about it on the Mail website late last night though I'm sure it would have come to Wiki editors attention quickly anyway as its been on numerous blogs this morning as well as that Mail article. I was aware the rumour was true, its been on Twitter for ages of course (long before the media storm the other weekend) as well as other blogs and I had indeed seen that earlier Mail article which had in effect confirmed the rumour cryptically (lot of strange articles appearing in newspapers recently on a lot of people!) Also Private Eye confirmed it cryptically as they have with at least five other injunctions. But I'm aware cryptic statements in Private Eye are of little use to Wikipedia. I would agree that the injunction is now effectively dead in the Irish Liffey, one primary reason being than its now on Wikipedia! I don't know if its on the superinjunction controversy article yet but I'm sure the very fact that it is on Wiki will get it more publicity, probably from the Mail themselves, as in the Giggs case. Not quite the same situation though, cant see him being named in parliament, he sensibly isnt trying to sue anyone. I do think it is notable for inclusion but ironically only because its the subject of a very controversial and high profile injunction. The details in themselves would not be that notable otherwise. Ridiculous situation though really, all it takes is a foreign news source to report on any of these injunctions and Wiki can name them and then any UK citizen can then read about it but media still cant discuss it openly. Wonder what the next one named by foreign media will be? Although it is rather amusing and Jimmy Wales seems delighted by this stuff coming out on Wiki! I know the Times of India named a recent footballer injunction but its not online. Anyway, well done finding all those sources this morning, I didn't even know which newspaper it had appeared in. Assumed it might be on the newspapers website but clearly not. Must admit though, given the actresses involvement it did occur to me it might only be a matter of time before a mischievous Irish newspaper might print the story and then it might end up on here! paul85 (talk) 11:58, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, considerable thought went into adding this to the article. As with Ryan Giggs/Imogen Thomas, the claims themselves are non-notable. However, we have now reached the same farcical Spycatcher type of situation where people can read about this in the foreign media but not in the UK. Hopefully the penny will soon drop on this type of lunacy.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 12:13, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * More coverage from the Irish media here:

Probably more to come.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 14:06, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Sligo Actress At Centre of UK Super Injunction
 * Newspaper Headlines 05/06/11

 * Yes it is farcical, seems Wiki has now been mentioned on the Mail website. And judging by those links its all over the Irish media now. And so the farce continues! paul85 (talk) 14:22, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Re: this edit: I am not going to edit war over this issue. However, Irish media sources have named the people involved in this injunction. This is correct information, and it is generally agreed that injunctions of this kind cannot be enforced outside England and Wales. See also .-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 13:07, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

WP:BLP: notable or not?

 * It is now clear that the media is nowhere near as interested in ETK as it was in CTB v News Group Newspapers. As a result, I do not support adding this to the article (or the other article involved) for the time being. There are WP:BLPNAME issues, and since lessons seem to have been learned from CTB by the legal teams involved (no legal action against Twitter etc), the need to add the names is not great. It is notable that the names have appeared in the Irish media (this is mentioned in 2011 British privacy injunctions controversy), but unless further media coverage occurs, there is no pressing need to add the names.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 12:39, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

 * If this subject wasn't subject to a superinjunction It would have received an amount of media attention that would have made excluding it untenable. Even with the superinjunction it has received enough reliable sources to be included.  I don't like the idea of UK courts censoring content in Wikipedia BLP articles, if Wikipedia policies are followed this information should be included. Polyquest (talk) 19:13, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Agree with the first part, the injunction is notable, the extra-marital affair is not. Until the coverage of this goes beyond a couple of rather obscure Irish media sources, it fails WP:BLPNAME and WP:UNDUE.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 19:17, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

 * My understanding is that WP:BLPNAME and WP:UNDUE are primarily policies to address editorial content and deal only peripherally with sourcing. The sources so far mentioning this information should be sufficient under reliable source policy.  The lack of an overabundance of sources is a direct result of the superinjunction.  If a government can stop all sources from commenting on a piece of information we cannot include it due to reliable source policy, but if a government is only partially successful, there are reliable sources, and the information isn't under dispute, being overly persnickety in our application of policy will only allow for courts to gain the de facto ability to censor Wikipedia. Polyquest (talk) 19:27, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

 * I agree with Polyquest.  The most notable fact about this actor (to anyone who is not British) is his involvement in the super-injunction controversy.  It seems a disservice to omit the most notable thing about this actor from this page.  CavalierLion (talk) 21:35, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * As stated previously, I am not going to edit war on this. However, I would take issue with the claim that this is notable to the point of being a must at the moment. There is a dilemma because the information is both correct and available in foreign media sources, but it has not caused anything like the same amount of fuss as CTB (Giggs/Thomas).-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 05:24, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * When the information is reliable sourced how much of a fuss is required to include it in the article? Is the same level of press attention required in cases were there is ongoing censorship in the media? Polyquest (talk) 05:16, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It is exactly one week on, and apart from the Sunday World and Sligo Today story, there has been no mainstream media coverage. This is the main benchmark, but even on Twitter there has been very little interest. It is notable that the names are now reliably sourced, but since BLPs should be written conservatively, there is no need to shout them from the rooftops if nobody else is doing it. The names are currently in 2011 British privacy injunctions controversy, but there does not seem to be a pressing need to name them in either of the BLPs. This would make the injunction look more notable than it actually is at the moment. The coverage has been tiny compared to Giggs/Thomas.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 05:31, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It is a little difficult to gauge interest given the present situation. Do you know if Irish companies that have business interests in the UK would be affected by the superinjunction?  I don't think it has to get the same level of attention as the Giggs/Thomas story to warrant inclusion.  I don't know why the bar is being set there.  And I don't know about Twitter but there was certainly a sharp spike in interest on Google. Polyquest (talk) 08:22, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Probably the big Irish media sources (RTE, Irish Times etc) do have offices and assets in London, which could theoretically lead to legal action if they published the story. No doubt the London tabloids would splash the story if they could, but ETK could be any anonymised privacy injunction. The real issues here are that: a) the story can be published in the foreign media but not in the UK, and b) ETK is a routine extra-marital affair with no suggestion of blackmail or other criminal activity involved. Lord Wakeham, the former chairman of the Press Complaints Commission, has said that the courts should not grant injunctions in this type of situation. Although the coverage would not need to reach the Giggs/Thomas level to be notable, it does not seem to have jumped over the BLP hurdle yet. The Sunday World story spiked on Twitter when it was published, but in the last few days mentions of the names have dropped to near zero.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 09:03, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The problem is that the hurdle which must be jumped in order to achieve notability is both subjective and opaque, and the information being used to evaluate whether that standard has been met has been distorted by censorship. The fact that the information has been removed from so many other places increases the value of having it here on Wikipedia, but paradoxically it makes justifying its presence more difficult.  It would be unfortunate if Wikipedia's BLP policies were interpreted in such a way as to give superinjunctions de facto authority on Wikipedia.  While the information will sometimes get enough attention to mandate inclusion, like with Giggs/Thomas, in many cases, like this one, a superinjunction will choke off enough press coverage to stave off inclusion in Wikipedia if BLP is interpreted rigorously. Polyquest (talk) 09:29, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Please guys enough already. Despite IanMacM's efforts to move forward, the debate keeps returning to a lawyerly exchange around a distorted interpretation of events. Namely that ETK injunction is a superinjunction, a form of government censorship, and, in one account I have read, a sinister attempt by the English courts to claim universal juristiction. This interpretation is encouraged by the tabloids and blogs. It is a crude and misleading caricature, which is supporting the position of the tabloid press by constraining the debate. I hope that it will find a place in the Wikipedia page as an object of analysis and not continue to hinder its productive development. In my view availability bias applies to many of the discussions I have seen. In this space it seems to have blocked thinking about the silence of mainstream media, leading to the exclusion of a real possibility that responsible editors and advisors could be acting not out of fear of a draconian legal process, but because they have been persuaded by the arguments that restraint is reasonable, humane and in the wider public interest in a democratic society. In this alternative view the shortage of reliable sources could be influenced by consent, not mere submission. Egonb (talk) 19:51, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

The most notable thing about ETK is that it has created the situation described in this cartoon in the current edition of Private Eye:. As a UK resident, I find it highly unsatisfactory that this situation has occurred, while acknowledging that the names in ETK are not hugely notable. Over the weekend, an interview with David Eady by Joshua Rozenberg was published in which Eady cited Von Hannover v Germany (full text here). This little known case is arguably at the heart of the current controversy, as most extra-marital affairs would fail the public interest defence that it lays out. Had ETK happened in the USA, the names would have been on TMZ.com and Perez Hilton without any legal restraints as long as the material was true. For Wikipedia, the real issue is WP:BLP. Without the injunction the affair would almost certainly have been non-notable. As it is, there is some notability because of the 2011 controversy, and because of the claim that the real reason why one of the stars left a Channel 4 show was not published. There is a subtle but real form of censorship here, as the UK media would have published this by now without the injunction.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 20:22, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

You can't compel submission than argue that perhaps the compelled party really consented freely. Your hypothetical characterization of the media's thought process bears no relation to the media I am familiar with. Make no mistake, media outlets in the UK would have published this were it not for the superinjunction. The potential effects of this legislation on Wikipedia are disturbing. Obtaining a superinjunction cost 50,000 to 100,000 pounds, we might therefore see the treatment of information in articles about wealthy people diverge from the treatment notable but less wealthy people receive. And than there is the removal of the information itself; it might not be important to be able to judge the moral character of an actor but what about a politician? We cannot blind ourselves to the issues that are at stake. The bar for BLP notability of negative information is already hazy, the affect of the superinjunction on the media landscape is only making the thought process that goes into making this determination cloudier. Given the presence of reliable sources I think it would be best to err on the side of inclusion given the overall situation. There are a couple editors on each side of this debate, if we can't establish consensus it might be best to introduce this discussion into other venues. Polyquest (talk) 00:14, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Thankyou both for prompt responses. I want to take up the issues later today when I will have time and space to set out my thinking with more clarity and concision than I have right now. Please bear with me. I fully agree that, without the injunction, the identities of ETK and X would have been made public by NGN (Sun, NotW), but this argument is circular. Their interest in speedy disclosure prompted ETK's application to the High Court and subsequent Appeal against the judgement. There is censorship of a more powerful nature than the threat to sue or to complain to the regulatory body (PCC). The unknowns are the positions of other media outlets, about which I cannot make any assumptions (except for the Daily Mail and the Guardian) .I hope these points can be common ground. I do however have a great difficulty with labelling the action a superinjunction. This has no basis, but the media-driven campaign about it is dominating the agenda. All of the Irish sources I have seen have repeated this misrepresentation and I think this diminishes their authority. (They can repeat names, but how far can they be trusted beyond that?) This line of thinking leads to some difficult conclusions, the most salient being that there is no secure and reliable source for something that by now may be widely believed. Thanks for the references; I can reply in kind having discovered a wealth of well presented reports and opinion pieces on Inforrm's Blog   (International Forum for Responsible Media)  inforrm.wordpress.com. I hope you find the material relevant & helpful. I've said far more than I expected. Apologies for this.--Egonb (talk) 02:27, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * ETK is an anonymised privacy injunction, not strictly a super-injunction, which cannot be mentioned at all (eg Trafigura). This was discussed at Talk:2011_British_privacy_injunctions_controversy. However, many parts of the UK media use the word to describe a privacy injunction, even though it is inaccurate. I would also like to ask Egonb if he/she is involved with ETK or X, as this type of situation can cause issues in BLPs. It would be useful to get some input on this BLP situation from fresh users, as we all seem to have stated our positions.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 05:19, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I've posted a message to the ANI.Polyquest (talk) 06:22, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

 * To ianmacm: I am aware of the distinction, but troubled that it is not consistently observed. I see more than inaccuracy in media usage. I have no wish to cause needless disruption. The Q is reasonable and my A is No. I have no independent knowledge of either party. I will check out the referral and consider an option of tactical retreat.Egonb (talk) 07:32, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * You're not causing any disruption, there is often a bit of tension in the clash of ideas, there are conflicting interests that need to be reconciled. I have seen talk pages that are far more heated than what we're seeing here. Polyquest (talk) 07:42, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed, this is mild stuff compared to some talk page debates.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 07:54, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It's not the heat in the kitchen but the pace of the crew's work. I've visited the noticeboard but could not see a conclusion. Have I missed something or have unrealistic expectations?--Egonb (talk) 09:48, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * OK I can see it's in trainEgonb (talk) 10:09, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * ANI discussions can drag on without reaching firm conclusions, but it was useful to get some fresh input. If ETK's lawyers are reading this, it would be interesting to know if they think that this type of situation can continue indefinitely. One of the big lessons of CTB is that once publication occurs in the foreign media or on the Internet, there is a certain amount of denial in continuing with the injunction. The irony is that if the News of the World had published the story as intended in March, it would have been all over and done with by now. This is what happens when judges try to be newspaper editors, which could not happen in the USA.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 10:16, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * My understanding is that the Ruling injuncted immediate publication. I'm not inclined to second guess the thinking of any of the participantsEgonb (talk) 10:43, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Please remember that this decision will be based on Wikipedia policy not UK law, which has no authority over Wikipedia, since Wikipedia is based in the US. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 11:06, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The Wikimedia Foundation's position on this type of issue is stated at Talk:CTB_v_News_Group_Newspapers.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 11:17, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Does this seem strange to anyone else?
The fact that Threlfall has been reported to be the 'ETK' in the case ETK v News Group Newspapers Ltd is mentioned in the article 2011 British privacy injunctions controversy (see 2011 British privacy injunctions controversy), but not in this one. Is there any reason why it would be a BLP violation here but not there? I've read through the discussion above, and I understand that there currently isn't consensus to add the material to this article. I just thought I'd add my voice to those saying it should be added here (provided it's kept to one sentence, and strictly based on what the RSs say). Where a negative statement is clearly supported by reliable sources, it doesn't necessarily violate BLP to add it to an article; the question is simply, 'is this an important fact, and relevant to Threlfall's career?'. That's a subjective judgement, but I would have to say that yes, it is. Robofish (talk) 15:32, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Short version: if there isn't any problem with mentioning Threlfall's name in that article, shouldn't we mention the ETK case in this one? Robofish (talk) 15:34, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

 * There was a long debate about this at ANI and some people did not want to mention or link to the names at all. Personally I think this is too extreme, but do accept that there needs to be evidence of BLP notability, which at the moment there is not. The only notable aspect of ETK is that the names were published in the Irish media without any problems. Beyond that, it is routine tabloid gossip and would fail BLP without significant coverage in reliable secondary sources.

It is far more notable that the newspaper that wanted to publish ETK, the News of the World, has folded in July 2011 following the Scotland Yard investigation over the phone hacking affair. The paper really went too far on this one, and the UK government was furious.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 15:42, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

User:Dream mind/Sandbox/Boiling

When evaporation occurs at solid-liquid interface,it is termed as boiling.

Boiling occurs when the surface temperature of say a boiling pan exceeds the saturaion temperature of say water.

According to Newton's law of cooling,the heat transferred from the pan to the liquid is given by

$$q''=h(T _s-T _{sat})=h\Delta\ T_e $$

$$\Delta\ T_e\equiv T_s-T_{sat}$$ is termed as the excess temperature.

This process results in formation of bubbles at the walls which grow and finally the bubbles detatch from the walls.The growth and dynamics of the vapour bubbles depend on a)excess temperature b)nature of the surface and c)thermophysical properties of the liquid

Pool Boiling
Pool boiling occurs due to free convection and due to mixing by bubble growth and detachment.

Free convection boiling
Free convection boiling occurs when $$\Delta\ T _e\le \Delta\ T _{e,A}$$ where $$\Delta\ T _{e,A}\approx\ 5^oC$$

Nucleate boiling
Nucleate boling occurs when $$\Delta\ T_{e,A}\le\Delta\ T_e\le\Delta\ T_{e,c}$$

where $$\Delta\ T_{e,c}=30^oC$$

In this case the detection of the number of surface for the nucleation sites is important.Yamagata et al provided an expression to show the influence of nucleation sites on the heat rate.

$$q''=C \Delta\ T_e ^a n^b$$

where n is active nucleation sites per unite area i.e site density

$$a\approx\ 1.2 $$

$$b\approx\ 1/3 $$

Transition boiling
Transition boiling occurs when $$\Delta\ T_{e,c}\le\Delta\ T_e\le\Delta\ T_{e,D}$$

where $$\Delta\ T_{e,D}\approx\ 120^oC$$

Film boiliing
Film boiling occurs when $$\Delta\ T_e\ge\Delta\ T_{e,D}$$

Nerea Barjola

Nerea Barjola Ramos is a Spanish social scientist and feminist activist. She is known for analysing the media coverage of the Alcàsser Case as a reaction to feminist activity in Spain in early 1990s, arguing that it responded to recent gains of the feminist movement by portraying them as inherently connected to violence against women.

Life and career
Barjola studied Political Science and Administrative Studies at the University of the Basque Country. She then pursued equity studies at the National University of Distance Education. She obtained a doctorate in Feminist and Gender Studies at the University of the Basque Country in 2014, with a thesis entitled Las representaciones del peligro sexual y su influencia en las prácticas de las mujeres a partir del crimen sexual de Alcásser (1992) (The representations of sexual danger and its influence on the practices of women from the sexual crime of Alcásser, 1992).

Barjola's doctoral thesis re-examined the Alcàsser Case, which was the sensational murder of three young women in 1992 that made a substantial impact on Spanish popular culture, from the perspective of Spanish feminist activity in the 1990s. Specifically, she argued that the sensationalism of the murders, and the way that they were portrayed in mass media, served as a reaction against the burgeoning feminist movement of 1990s Spain, providing a rationale for pushback against the increasing prominence of women in Spanish public life. In 2018, she continued this line of research in her book ''Microfísica sexista del poder. El caso Alcàsser y la construcción del terror sexual'' (Sexist microphysics of power: The Alcàsser case and the construction of sexual terror). In Microfísica sexista del poder, Barjola casts prominent coverage of the Alcàsser Case as an example of victim blaming, in which the fact that the three victims were out late partying was treated as an explanation for their murder, and the lucky decision of a fourth woman to stay home was used as a moral tale to discourage women's freedom. She argues that the sensational coverage of the murders affected the attitudes and behaviours of a generation of Spanish women, by portraying sexual terror as a logical consequence of the advances of the Spanish feminist movement in areas like freedom of movement and bodily autonomy.

More broadly, Barjola has argued that a certain amount of sexual violence is explicitly permitted in the political system, because it serves a purpose for scaring away challenges to the structure of society.

The Ingraham Angle

The Ingraham Angle is an American conservative news and opinion-based talk show that premiered on October 30, 2017, on the Fox News channel. The show features Laura Ingraham and guests discussing the day's latest issues, news, as well as controversies. The program airs at 7 p.m. ET.

Guest hosts for the program include Raymond Arroyo, Brian Kilmeade, Jeanine Pirro, Jason Chaffetz, Tammy Bruce, Kayleigh McEnany and Will Cain.

It is the third highest rated cable TV news program for total viewers.

In 2018, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student and shooting survivor David Hogg organized an ongoing boycott of the show following a Twitter post in which Ingraham ridiculed him. The boycott resulted in 27 advertisers dropping the show.

History
In September 2017, Fox News announced The Ingraham Angle as the newest show in their primetime lineup and following Hannity at a new time of 9 PM ET/6 PM PT starting on October 30, 2017. Before the show's debut, news anchors took over the 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT time slot under the branding Fox News Tonight. Prior to hosting The Ingraham Angle, Laura Ingraham had been a guest host, guest panelist, and commentator on various Fox News primetime programs including The O'Reilly Factor and Hannity. She has hosted her weekday radio show since 2001.

The Ingraham Angle's debut program guest was White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly. The show garnered 3.3 million total viewers with 622,000 news demographic viewers, more than that of MSNBC and CNN. Other guests on The Ingraham Angle have included Univision's Jorge Ramos, former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, attorney and former Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz, former Hillary Clinton State Department advisor and Deputy Secretary of State for Strategic Communications Philippe Reines.

On June 26, 2023, it was announced that The Ingraham Angle would move to 7 p.m. ET beginning July 17, 2023, replacing Jesse Watters Primetime (which is moving to 8 p.m. to replace the cancelled Tucker Carlson Tonight) in its former timeslot.

LeBron James
In February 2018, Ingraham was criticized after she publicly said that basketball star LeBron James should not talk about politics and that he should "shut up and dribble." Professional athletes complained about Ingraham's comment, which was in response to James's statement that then-president Donald Trump "doesn't understand the people, and really don't give a f--- about the people."

New Zealand COVID-19 response
In October 2020, Ingraham was criticized after she falsely claimed that New Zealand forced arrivals into quarantine "camps" due to COVID-19.

March 2018 boycott
On March 28 Ingraham ridiculed college rejections David Hogg received, tweeting: "David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it. (Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA...totally predictable given acceptance rates.)"

Hogg responded by accusing Ingraham of cyberbullying and posted a list of Ingraham's advertisers, suggesting they be contacted by his followers. In response to the boycott, 27 advertisers left the show.

The following day, Ingraham tweeted an apology. Hogg said that Ingraham's apology had only been caused by the walkout of several advertisers. He said that he would accept an apology in the future if she denounced the way her network had been treating him and his friends. Hogg and his supporters continued their pressure campaign on her show's advertisers.

At the end of the Good Friday 2018 (March 30, 2018) edition of her show, Ingraham announced she was taking a week-long absence from the show for Easter; a break that was already planned according to Ingraham and Fox News. A week later, on her show, Ingraham characterized the boycott as "Stalinist". Ingraham returned to her show with the support of Rupert Murdoch.

Response by advertisers
Within a day of Ingraham's comments about Hogg, sponsors started announcing that they would no longer advertise on The Ingraham Angle. Rates for advertising during the show dropped since the start of the boycott. Prices for a 30-second spot dropped from an average range of $12,310–$14,732 to an average range of $11,305–$13,405, according to analysts. Advertising time during the show dropped by as much as 52 percent. By mid-April 2018, a total of 27 sponsors stopped advertising on The Ingraham Angle. As of December 2018, only two major advertisers had returned to sponsoring the show.

Reaction to March 2018 boycott
Following Ingraham's tweet, responses, and Hogg's tweets, polls showed that public perception of Fox News declined more than that of any advertiser. Polling by YouGov BrandIndex in the days following the announcement of the boycott showed that the Fox News brand had sustained significantly more consumer perception damage than any of the advertisers. The positive consumer perception of Ingraham dropped from 53 percent to 33 percent, according to the celebrity data and research firm Spotted.

Hundreds of Russian bots on Twitter came to Ingraham's defense during the weekend following the boycott. According to Hamilton 68, posts under the hashtag #IStandWithLaura jumped 2800 percent and was the top trending hashtag for Russian Twitter accounts.

Ingraham was supported by singer and NRA board member Ted Nugent, and talk show host Bill Maher who defended her on the grounds of free speech. Republican strategist Steve Schmidt speculated why Ingraham's advertisers pulled their support: "...this kid's not scared. He's not scared of the NRA. He's not intimidated and scared by Laura Ingraham."

Fox News co-president Jack Abernethy issued a statement of support for Ingraham: "We cannot and will not allow voices to be censored by agenda-driven intimidation efforts."

Following Ingraham's return to the show on April 9, AdAge reported that as of the April 11 Wednesday night episode of The Ingraham Angle, the show averaged 2.7 million viewers with 559,000 in the 25-to-54 viewer age demographic. In comparison, the show averaged 2.2 million viewers and 434,484 in the same demographic on March 29, 2018. According to TheWrap, viewership for the week of Ingraham's return to the show were up 25 percent for 2018 at 3,099,000 total viewers and up 36 percent for the age 25 to 54 demographic with 685,000 viewers. In June, the show earned 2.654 million total viewers per night, the best monthly average since the show was launching in October 2017.

June 2018 boycott
Twenty-seven sponsors stopped advertising on the show due to the March boycott. The controversy surrounding the boycott resulted in a decline of favorable public perceptions of the Fox News brand. Upon Ingraham's return to the show on April 9 following a week-long vacation, The Ingraham Angle occupied the top position for its time slot against CNN and MSNBC. Following Ingraham's comments on her show regarding facilities used to detain minor children separated from their undocumented immigrant parents, David Hogg renewed his call for boycotts of The Ingraham Angle's advertisers. During the show's June 18, 2018 broadcast, Ingraham referred to the detention facilities as "essentially summer camps" that "resemble boarding schools." In response, Hogg called for a renewal of the previous boycott via Twitter the following day. Ingraham's comments followed an MSNBC report by Jacob Soboroff which was broadcast on June 14, 2018. The report described a Texas detainment facility setup to be like a "dormitory structure" with a cafeteria and rooms that contained four beds in each.

Ratings
According to Variety magazine, The Ingraham Angle was the third-highest rate cable TV news program in the adults 25–54 demographic among all cable news programs in June 2018. A year later, Ingraham's show had declined in popularity to fourth behind MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show, according to a Fox News press release. As of January 2020, the show has returned to its former spot as the third highest rated cable news show, gathering more viewers than any cable news show during its time slot, including The Rachel Maddow Show. The show's higher ratings than The Rachel Maddow Show made Ingraham the highest-rated female cable news host.

La ruleta de la suerte (Uruguayan game show)

La ruleta de la suerte is an Uruguayan television game show based on the original American series Wheel of Fortune. Presented by Rafael Villanueva and Roxanne Machin, it is broadcast on Teledoce. The show debuted on 11 August 2020, being, its first episode, the fourth most viewed of the day, reaching 10.9 rating points. It airs on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9 p.m.

In each episode, three participants face different blank word puzzles; they must choose consonants and buy vowels, to solve common sayings and phrases. In this way, they manage to accumulate prizes, to be able to win a 0KM car.

Production
Initially, the show was going to be presented by Fernando Vilar, who had been summoned to host an entertainment program for the first time. However, after having participated in the rehearsals with the scenography prepared, he decided to abandon the project, arguing that he "did not measure up" to such a challenge. Finally, Rafael Villanueva was chosen to host the program.

As part of the advertising campaign for the show, on the morning of the debut day, the Desayunos informales team was invited to test the game on the set.

The Idiot Gods (in Neverness series?)
This is the same author of a book released 13th July 2017 called The Idiot Gods that I believe is part of the Neverness series, but I can't seem to find any references to that on here, or in the page relating to the Neverness series. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Requiem_for_Homo_Sapiens (I don't know how to do the normal Wikipedia references, rather than a cite)

The book details from the publisher are here in this cite

MavericTB (talk) 00:08, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, have added to the list. I can't see anything linking it to the Neverness series. Greenman (talk) 08:16, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Untitled
The Lightstone was published as one volume in both hardcover and trade paperback (in 2001!) before being split in two for the mass market paperback edition. Before reverting Timb0h's edit of the 26th of June, is there a convention for which version to list in such cases? -> Since no one has answered, I've made this edit. The reason I judge this way to be right is that George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series also has had its hardcovers split in two for the paperback releases, yet on his page it records the hardcovers. (And I'm assuming his page gets a lot more attention/scrutiny than this one, so the standard set there is likely to be "right".)

 * I think both versions need mentioning as otherwise people are likely to be confused Timb0h 16:01, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Ea Cycle (UK). All three titles need to appear. Concerning only the list of works, no prose:
 * Relying on ISFDB for some more data to add, I also reorganized with the 2001 publication primary, annotated concerning the two 2002 volumes (all in UK editions; see below). So the two half-titles appear but they are not bullet points. I understand the content is simply reprinted.
 * --P64 (talk) 21:16, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Sentence
''Zindell's science fiction novels, beginning with Neverness (1988), work to overcome the dichotomy between materialism and spirituality, being in part a mathematical search for the Source. His fantasy series, the EA Cycle is a grail-like exploration of the evolutionary progress of consciousness.''

I'm sorry? The books are a mathematical search for the Source? I thought they were just really good stories.

And in what way can an exploration be grail-like? Personally, I've been involved with explorations that have been so tiring as to give me a tremendous desire for a glass of wine but I never knew I could have drank the wine directly out of the exploration itself. Transentient
 * I also don't see what's going on w/ the mathematical search stuff. For the grail stuff, perhaps "a search much like the grail-quest" or something. You can't have a grail quest, there's THE holy grail quest which arthur's knights set out on, that's it.--<IP_ADDRESS> 17:36, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

...and Gene Wolfe, who is connected with Zindell in a way Wolfe himself was with Jack Vance, described Zindell as  Could someone who knows what this refers to please clarify this sentence? It should in any case be "in a way which Jack Vance was with Wolfe" but I have no idea what relationship is being referred to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 11:10, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

New American chronology contains a separate volume called "The Silver Sword" that contains different material from the volume called "The Lighstone"
Regarding noting the split, in the U.S. I have seen new editions where the correct order is The Lightstone, then a novel called The Silver Sword (this contains new material not in the version called The Lightstone, which I'm assuming came out in 2006 as the article reads) which came out in 2007 or 2008. Then there is a new American edition called Lord of Lies which I'm assuming is the same as the U.K. edition, this came out in 2009 or 2010. I have attempted to put this down in the article but it may be confusing for people. Basically, if left unedited as it is now, a reader in the U.S. would probably mistakenly read The Lighstone and then skip the volume called The Silver Sword, thinking it contained the same material when in fact it does not, and then begin reading Lord of Lies, which would be confusing and out of order for an American reader.

Perhaps putting in two sections, one for the U.K. chronology, and one for the U.S. chronology, would help.

While as it is I see it was an attempt to prevent U.S. readers from buying the same material twice (since in the U.K. The Silver Sword is the second half of the American edition The Lightstone), it could also mislead U.S. readers into never buying The Silver Sword and so missing the second volume in the series which is required for understanding the third volume. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:05, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Ea Cycle (US or North America). If I understand correctly this concerns the first North American edition (and perhaps all Amer. eds.) --not a New American ed.-- of the material corresponding to the The Lightstone (2001), and thus to The Ninth Kingdom and The Silver Sword (2002).
 * Relying on ISFDB for some more data to add, I tried also to be clear regarding the contents. "The Lightship (Revised)" is straight from ISFDB.
 * Are The Lord of Lies, Black Jade, The Diamond Warriors considered to be books 3-4-5 or books 2-3-4 in the UK? If 3-4-5 then it will be easier to be clear both in the list and in prose, but the point should be made either way.

The British connection
We call him simply American and place both his college education and current residence in the US state Colorado. We don't mention UK, British Isles, Britain, England --nor any overseas territory or people, nor Canada-- in prose.

Is the contest Writers of the Future essentially North or US American, or was it in 1985?

At least one early short story, "Caverns" (1985), was published in the British magazine Inferno (magazine). After the first novel Neverness (1988), all(?) were published primarily in the UK, if i understand correctly.

What's the British connection? Did Zindell live there? Marry a London editor who works remotely? Join the spec fic community via British Convention?

Furthermore, do we know why his Ea Cycle novels are published in American editions with such long lags? Does their popularity differ greatly? Do British libraries or schools buy them and Americans avoid them?

--P64 (talk) 21:26, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Genre Classification
The article states that the Ea Cycleis sword-and-sorcery. I'm convinced that indeed it is high fantasy as it matches every single characteristic - e.g. a superhuman antagonist, the struggles of the protagonist being depicted as a bildungsroman etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:01, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

I am well read, and my education spans from being an English teacher and interpreter, to being a senior in a chemical engineering program in the United states. My skills and interest are simply my curiosity.

Talk:Active Server Pages/Differences between ASP 3.0 and ASP.NET

What sort of thing do people want to see on this page? Code examples? Philosophical differences? An overview of .NET? Or is there anything else I haven't thought of?

This page has some innaccurate information

Presentation and business logic is intermixed while ASP.NET can be writen in several .NET compliant languages like C#, VB.NET and business logic can be clearly seperated from Presentation logic.

False. It is just as easy to intermix or separate presentation and business logic with both ASP and ASP.NET. You can write ASP.NET just by typing out a aspx file and intermixing 'Response.Write' calls along with any other code. Alternately you can use HTML in your ASP files, and SSI jscript files or COM object (such as what ATL was designed for) to seperate the two. They are just different approaches than the methods used by default in the VS.NET IDE.

To say that ASP does not support this is just wrong. ASP does support it, but differently than in ASP.NET.

ASP.NET features auto wiring up of event handlers, you may just want to say that instead.

ASP had maximum of 4 built in classes like Request,Response, Session and Application whereas ASP.NET using .NET framework classes which has more than 2000 in built classes. Very misleading. ASP has 4 classes that are COM interfaces which are automatically created for you at startup. ASP.NET does not auto create 2000 classes for you at startup.

ASP has many objects (too many to count) that are there waiting for you to use. Just open up the registry and see how many entries there are under CLSID, and remember, most of those ship with every version of Windows and also contain many other aggregated objects not listed.

Unirea, Alba

Unirea, previously Vințu de Sus (Felvinc, Oberwinz), is a commune located in the north-east of Alba County, Transylvania, Romania. It is composed of six villages: Ciugudu de Jos (Alfüged), Ciugudu de Sus (Felfüged), Dumbrava (Dombró), Inoc (Inakfalva), Măhăceni (Aranyosmohács) and Unirea.

Geography
Unirea is located on the Mureș River, in the north-east corner of Alba County, approximately 50 km from the county capital, Alba Iulia, and 20 km from the town of Turda, on the Romanian National Road DN1.

The commune is bordered by Cluj County in the north and west, the town of Ocna Mureș in the east, and the commune of Mirăslău in the south.

History
From the late 13th century until 1876 the centre of today's commune was the administrative centre of the Aranyosszék region of Transylvania. In 1876, when the administrative system of the Kingdom of Hungary was reorganised, it became part of Torda-Aranyos county.

After the Union of Transylvania with Romania in 1918, the commune became part of Turda County. Since 1968, when the latest administrative organisation in Romania was adopted, Unirea has been part of Alba County.

Name
The first documentary evidence of the commune dates from 1219 under the names Vynch superior, terra Wynchy, Oronos Winch, and Oranas Wincz.

The Romanian version of the name, Vințu de Sus, became official only after the Union of Transylvania with Romania in 1918. Other early Romanian names were Vinț and Felvinț. In 1925, the official name was changed to Unirea referring to the unification of Vințu de Sus and Vereșmart.

The Hungarian version of the name, Felvinc was mentioned for the first time in a document from 1291 in the form Felvynch. As part of the Kingdom of Hungary, the Hungarian version was consistently used throughout the Middle Ages, with the mention that sometimes the form Aranyosvinc and Felső-Vincz were also used. In the 18th and the 19th century, the official name was "Oppidum Felvincz" (from 1760) or "Felvincz mezőváros" (from 1713).

The German version of the name, Oberwintz, dates to 1532.

All the three names are related to each other meaning Upper Vinc/Vințu/Wintz in English. The name refers to the medieval patron of the Catholic parish, Saint Vincentius because a 13th-century document calls the town Sanctus Vincentius.

Demographics
The 2011 census recorded that 4,574 people were living at the time in the commune, of whom 3,233 (70.7%) Romanians, 820 (17.9%) Roma and 514 (11.2%) Hungarians.

Historical population
The historical population of the entire commune as recorded by the official censuses, and projected to the present-day administrative unit, was as follows:

The historical population of Unirea village only (excluding the other 5 villages), as recorded by the official Censuses, was as follows:

In 1925 the village of Vereșmart (largely Romanian), formerly considered as a separate village, was united with the village of Vințu de Sus (largely Hungarian), to form the village called Unirea. This resulted in an important increase in population, and a change in the ethnic composition of the village.

Minorities
While the share of the Romanian majority in the territory of the present-day commune has remained almost constant since the mid-19th century (with a slight 5% increase), the two main minorities, the Hungarians and the Roma, have experienced opposite trends. While the percentage of the Hungarian minority almost halved in that time period, the percentage of the Roma minority more than doubled. This resulted in a swap between the Hungarian and the Roma communities as the second and the third most important ethnic groups in Unirea. Numerically, the Hungarian population increased from 1,084 in 1850 to a peak of 1,898 in 1910 and has been gradually declining ever since. The last census of the 20th century recorded 810 Hungarians, which means that their community declined by more than half in 80 years. The number of Roma people increased from 398 in 1930 to 556 (or 14% of the population) in 1992

Unirea village, due to its status as centre of the commune, has been the only village that recorded a population increase since the mid-19th century. Thus, while the population of some of the other villages halved, the total population of Unirea village more than tripled. Because almost all of the Hungarians in the commune (98% of them) were already living in the centre of the commune, this increase in total population, combined with the dwindling numbers of Hungarians, meant that the share of the Hungarian community decreased and the ethnic composition of the Unirea village changed in the 20th century to become more similar with the ethnic composition of the Unirea commune. The last census to record a Hungarian majority in Unirea village was the 1930 census and starting with the 1941 census, a Romanian majority has been recorded.

The village was traditionally the centre of the Székelys of Aranyosszék, a subgroup of the Székelys.

This author is not one whom I would consider to be directly "notable" in himself alone; however it is clear looking through InfoTrac and on Google that his work has been referred to by others (albeit to a comparatively minor degree). In my own personal opinion, I wouldn't say he's worthy of inclusion in any encyclopaedia due to lack of substantial merit on his part, but of course since Wikipedia is meant to be a "sum of human knowledge" we don't seem to ignore people who have some demonstrable level of following in the world at large simply because of their academic insignificance. Admittedly, if Wikipedia were my encyclopaedia, such articles as this would be deleted post-haste, but mercifully for the world this is not the case. Thus it seems he is notable enough to warrant an article given usual Wikipedia editorial procedure. --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) 21:18, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep his second book can be found here (found on Google Scholar).  His writings may not be enough on their own for notability as an author, but he is also an academic, with verifiable contributions.  Mangojuice 19:21, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Mathematical Picture of the Month
We use the traditional for this page definition of a month as one twelfth of the orbital period, where the planet in question is unspecified.

Picture is from Pictures of Julia and Mandelbrot Sets. The mathematically interesting point about the picture is the smooth colouring, based on distance to the set, rather than the more usual banding of colour based on number of iterations before leaving the unit circle. The distance is converted to a height, which then makes a 3D surface that can be lit.

Selected as Mathematical picture of the month from Jan 16th 2011.

Things to do
Want to help with an existing mathematics text?

There are mathematics books at every level from preschool to Graduate Level and there is room for anyone to help, no matter your mathematics background. Here are some ideas how you can get involved:
 * You can expand on stubs. Mathematics pages will appear in Mathematics stubs, or in Stubs
 * Look at Recent Changes to see which mathematics books are being actively worked on and who by, and get involved.
 * WikiProject Languages templated the Language pages with, perhaps we should consider making a similar template and implementing it.

Book Merging and Splitting
Current thinking on how content should be split between books:
 * Work has been done to combine two Algebra books that were at the same level and covered similar material.
 * High School Trigonometry is a wikibooks compatible licensed version of a Californian textbook. It is not being merged with Trigonometry whose origins pre-date it.
 * One of the reasons is that the pedagogical approach is different. Trigonometry explains how to remember formulas, check them, relate them and think about them - making memorisation easier.  Similarly through puzzle-like examples it shows how proofs can break down, explains how someone could arrive at a proof and gives alternative proofs, rather than present proofs as things to be rote learned.  It also has pedagogical innovations such as links to video.

 * Trigonometry is a three volume book, currently all in one name space. It is being split for different levels.  In particular algebra is done step by step in book one.
 * Modular Arithmetic is a subset of number theory. The book is intended as a monograph, and is unlikely to be merged into a larger number theory book any time soon.

Templates
Some templates which authors might like to re use:

Examples and Exercises
An example that is worked through step by step.

An exercise where the student is asked to do something like check a result or answer a question.

Info Boxes
For use of the pigeonhole principle:

Table of Contents Markers

 * Some maths-for-computing topic with a special icon beside it

Summary Facts
In any triangle the angles always sum to $$180^{\circ}\,$$

Typesetting
There are several guides to help provide information of how to typeset mathematics, they are the following: Keep in mind that there is no correct choice of how to typeset mathematics on a Wikibook. The goal should be consistency both within an individual module, and within the modules of a given book. It is a good rule of thumb to take a look at how typesetting is done in a particular book when you start to edit it and to try to emulate that style. This should hopefully give the readers a consistent presentation.
 * Help:Formulas

Consider using \displaystyle on all formulas, even when in line in text. That way the shape and appearance of symbols will be consistent across the html and the set off text. Without this there can be confusions when the same symbol looks different in the two forms.

Some LaTeX to Plunder

 * $$\displaystyle f:\mathbb{R}^2\to\mathbb{C} \text{ defined as  } f:(x,y)\mapsto x+iy$$

 * $$(x+y)^n = \sum_{k=0}^n {n \choose k}x^{n-k}y^k.$$

Images
The best way to upload files is to upload them to Commons, which transparently makes the files available in all of the Wikimedia projects.

You can also browse that repository by category and by search term, and there are many useful images already there. It is also possible to go to a related wikipedia page for a topic, follow the images to wikicommons, then look for other images in the same category or by the same uploader.

Vector images
There is a strong preference on Wikimedia for SVG graphics files. Programs that can output graphics in svg format :
 * Gnuplot (A general mathematical plotting program)
 * Thenub314 can give information on producing animated graphs.

 * Inkscape (An svg image editor)
 * The current stable version of inkscape has problems reading svg graphs produced by Gnuplot. A good width for lines in geometric figures is 1.7px.  A good font to use is Lucida Bright.  Greek letters like 'alpha' can be inserted by cutting and pasting from Word.  Fonts should be converted to paths in case not present on user's machine, even though it makes i8ln harder.  Check svg images in firefox before uploading.  If you see unwanted black regions it is because of 'rotated text' tags that are Inkscape specific.  If you've converted the text to paths the rotated text tags can be removed (use the XML editor feature) to fix this problem. Many geometric images, especially of tiling and subdivision, look a lot better with solid fill of pastel colours.

 * Octave (Which actually calls gnuplot.)
 * Maxima CAS (Which can call gnuplot, but also other programs like VTK )
 * C.a.R (Compass and Ruler) (produces fixed-scale graphs)

Note that one can also directly create SVG file.

Image Requests
If you need a diagram to illustrate a mathematical text, describe what you need here. The mathematical project has recently been producing diagrams for geometry (for the trigonometry book) and even fake road signs to help teach mathematical concepts.

Transwiki
It can be useful to start new mathematics topic pages by importing the corresponding page from wikipedia as a starter. Discuss possible imports here.

Ecologically based invasive plant management

Ecologically based invasive plant management (EBIPM) is a decision-making framework to improve the management of invasive plant species. When land managers are faced with infestations of invasive plants, a step by step framework to develop integrated management plans will improve their success at managing these plants. EBIPM is founded on the principles of ecology to manage invasive weed infestations and restore landscapes. The framework combines an ecosystem health assessment (Rangeland Health Assessment), a method to recognize how ecological processes affect causes of succession, ecological principles to guide the choices of tools and strategies to manage invasive plants and how to use adaptive management to generate a step-by-step decision model. The focus of EBIPM is to encourage managers to move away from simply killing the weeds and move toward management efforts that repair the underlying causes of invasion.

EBIPM guides users through a 5-step process that begins with (step 1) an assessment of rangeland health to (step 2) determine why invasive species are present and what ecological processes are in need of repair. Managers can then (step 3) use ecological principles as targets to (step 4) choose the appropriate tools and strategies that will give them the best chances of successful and lasting results. The final step in the EBIPM process is to use adaptive management to design and implement a management plan.

Background

 * Land managers have historically used one or more of a number of strategies to treat rangelands dominated by invasive plants. Treatments may have included the use of herbicides, targeted grazing, seeding, controlled burning, biological controls, and any number of other rangeland management treatments. The problem with simply applying treatments is that, while initially weeds are controlled, the treatment does not fix the underlying cause of the problem and the invasive species, more often than not, grow again within a short period of time. The main reason for re-occurring weed infestations is that just applying treatments to control the weeds will likely have little-to-no influence on the ecological processes driving plant community change. The EBIPM framework employs ecological principles and the practices land managers have experience in using to mend actual ecological processes that are in disrepair. This strategy has proven to provide more successful and sustainable invasive plant management.
 * EBIPM is based on ecological succession which was originally theorized by Frederic Clements and explains the concept of plant community change over time. Steward T. A. Pickett furthered the theory into successional management by developing a hierarchical model that includes the causes for plant community change, the controlling ecological processes, and their modifying factors. This model for successional management proposes three general causes of plant community change: site availability, species availability, and species performance.

Site Availability

 * Site availability refers primarily to the availability of safe sites, or open niches, in the soil profile Safe sites, spots in the soil where a seed can germinate, emerge, establish, and flourish, are created through the process of disturbance, which is a temporary variation in the typical environmental conditions which often significantly affects and alters an ecosystem. Examples of disturbance include human disruption such as recreation, construction, or fire and it also occurs naturally through wildfire, flood, insect infestation, animal activity and other processes including variations in weather. Disturbances create openings for new or different plants which changes the natural succession of a plant community. Disturbance also lessens the competitive intensity between plants, changes conditions in the environment, and alters the supply rates of resources. Understanding site availability creates an opportunity for land managers to direct plant communities in a desired direction by manipulating disturbances to favor desired species. Applying ecological principles related to the process of disturbance can significantly impact and promote germination, establishment, and growth of native and desired species over invasive species.

Species Availability

 * Species availability relates directly to the ecological processes of reproduction and dispersal, in other words, the availability of species through propagules either present in the soil seedbank or brought in by dispersal Essentially, species availability is the presence and establishment of various species. Seeds have developed a number of adaptations and are dispersed through various methods including wind, water, barbs, hooks, and awns that stick to animals and clothing, are carried in the wind or water...etc.
 * Typically, invasive species produce more seeds relative to desired native species often giving the invasive species a competitive advantage. Managers can shift competitive balance back to desired or native species by increasing their reproductive capacity and density (adding seeds...seeding treatment), which can lead to higher densities of desired species. This is often enough for desired plants to swing the competitive balance back to their favor.

Species Performance

 * Species Performance is how well a given species can perform in diverse environmental conditions based on a range of ecological processes including a species' ability to capture and use resources to survive and increase or spread in the environment despite competition, stress, and interference.
 * The factors defining a given species' ability to survive and thrive in a number of different environmental conditions are:

 * 1) resource availability and a species' ability to acquire and utilize those resources
 * 2) response to environment or a plant's ability adapt to changes in environmental conditions (also called ecophysiological plant traits)
 * 3) life strategy or a plant's life history strategy and the associated trade-offs influencing the survival or death of a species
 * 4) stress and the ability of a species to either avoid or tolerate stress, and
 * 5) interference or the level at which a plant is influenced by nearby plants of differing species.
 * Most invasive species are efficient at taking advantage of extra resources if they become available through disturbance or some other process. This information can be critical to promoting desired species as land managers attempt to give desired species a competitive edge by manipulating the factors influencing how a species performs.

Steps

 * The EBIPM model is a five-step comprehensive decision tool designed to improve land management decision-making and increase success rates of invasive species management. In fact, one study showed the EBIPM approach improves the likelihood of success by up to 67% relative to traditional management strategies. This article merely provides a list of the steps. For a more comprehensive look at the EBIPM framework, see the external links section below.

Step 1: Complete a Rangeland Health Assessment

 * A fundamental element of land management is to evaluate the current condition of the land and learn what ecological processes needs to be fixed. One such evaluation or rangeland health assessment, Interpreting Indicators of Rangeland Health, is currently being adopted or implemented by most U.S. government agencies as protocol. In the EBIPM framework, this step identifies the ecological processes in need of repair.
 * The Bureau of Land Management offers comprehensive trainings on Interpreting Indicators of Rangeland Health and the EBIPM Assessment Guidelines provide an in-depth, how-to guide for completing an assessment as part of the first step of the EBIPM process.

Step 2: Identify Causes of Invasion and Associated Processes Not Functioning

 * The assessment mentioned in the previous section provides the information for what the current conditions are and EBIPM can inform why those conditions exist and what causes of plant community change/succession and associated processes are not functioning. EBIPM's focus shifts management from trying to kill the weeds to directing the processes driving the three causes of plant community change. This will lead to more predictable and sustainable transitions toward a desired ecosystem.

Step 3: Use Principles to Guide Decision Making

 * The EBIPM framework is built on the idea tools and strategies are more successful and sustainable when the scientific principles of ecology are considered during the decision-making process. This makes Step 3, and the ecological principles for managing succession, a critical component of the EBIPM process. The ecological principles that provide direction for management were developed from existing scientific literature and are aimed at improving management by providing maximum plant diversity and maximum biomass in the ecosystem. Land managers face difficult decisions in trying to successfully repair and restore complex ecological processes and they often rely solely on their own intuition and experience to determine the tools and strategies they will use. Through the EBIPM approach, land managers combine their knowledge and experience with established ecological principles to choose the best management tools and strategies for dealing with complex problems. This provides an obvious benefit in that the proven scientific knowledge is organized into a functional listing of principles land managers can use to help guide their decision-making.

Step 4: Choose Appropriate Tools and Strategies Based on Principles

 * The EBIPM framework links the ecological processes driving plant community change with the ecological principles to provide the scientific knowledge about how the processes work and the practices affecting the most positive changes on the land. These principles provide managers an increased understanding of ecosystem processes and the ability to predict outcomes in a variety of situations. The principles can also help managers to understand how processes in need of repair may be to blame for driving successional patterns in an undesired direction toward the increased presence of invasive plants. This produces a more informed base for land managers to use in decision-making.

Step 5: Design and Execute a Plan Using Adaptive Management

 * Developing rangeland management plans can be difficult and extremely unpredictable but the EBIPM process provides managers a method to work through both of these challenges. However, outcomes and the true effectiveness of management is virtually impossible to predict because of the complexity of any given rangeland ecosystem and the number of variables acting on the system. To combat this, the EBIPM process includes adaptive management which empowers managers to learn by doing in the face of uncertainty. Adaptive management sets treatments up using experimental design so managers can test various management options and see what works best on their land and in their situation.

Notes & References

 * Could we split references and notes a bit better? At the moment we have refs explaining things (such as ref 10) that are written as if they are cited. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:42, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * checklinks throws in lots of errors. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:42, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Some refs don't really explain a lot. Ref 12 seems to say that Afgranistan is in Asia, but has four references in them. Why? One is plenty. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:42, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Can we change "references" -> "Bibliography", "notes" -> "references", and add "notes" for the above as per the MOS. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:44, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Comments

 * Automated note - If you fancy returning the favour, I have outstanding GA nominations that require reviewing at WP:GAN. I'd be very grateful if you were to complete one of these, however it's definately not manditory. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs)
 * So, from a quick skim, there's quite a lot above. The main ones are:

 * Ref fixes - There seems to be some confusion here as to what a reference and what a note is. This needs to be rearranged.
 * Image captions and tables - There's potentially too many images regardless... But there does need to be a fix to a lot of the captions, which aren't great
 * Citing in general. There's lots of statements that have no citations. At least if they are at the end of the paragraphs it could mean it is citing the whole paragraph.

I'll put this on hold. I'll give it a couple days, and see if enough has changed for a full review. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:33, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot for your comments, you noticed a lot that I've missed. I'll see what I can do to fix these issues. --Cerebellum (talk) 21:57, 23 September 2019 (UTC)--Cerebellum (talk) 21:57, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * On second thought, this will take me more than a week. I recommend failing the article, and I'll resubmit when ready.  (I'll review one of your articles, do you care which one?) --Cerebellum (talk) 22:40, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I thought I'd leave it open for you to reply. I agree this one isn't quite at the right level (specifically the way some of it is uncited is a big issue, and fixing how the references look could take some time.), so I could have failed it, but I wanted to leave it open in case you thought you were up to the task. I'll close this one as failed.

 * I think I have three (maybe?) articles nominated at this time - I must get around to promoting more content, it hasn't been easy recently - although once it's copy-edited, I'm nominating Snooker, and the 1985 World Snooker Championship. Take your pick from any unreviewed. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 06:58, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm using Mozilla Firefox 4.0.1, and the patch for Ruby annotation isn't supported on it. I'm running on Ubuntu Linux 11.04, if that helps. --Alegend 17:34, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
