== The French and Indian War ==
''(The following text is from Wikipedia)''
The '''French and Indian War''' (1754–1763) was the North American chapter of the Seven Years' War.<ref>http://geo.msu.edu/extra/geogmich/frenchindian_war.html</ref> The name refers to the two main enemies of the British, the royal French forces and the various American Indian forces allied with them. This conflict, the fourth such colonial war between the kingdoms of France and Great Britain, resulted in the British conquest of all of New France east of the Mississippi River, as well as Spanish Florida. France ceded control of French Louisiana west of the Mississippi to its Spanish ally, to compensate it for its loss of Florida. By the end of this war France kept only the tiny islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon north of the Caribbean. These colonies today still allow France access to the Grand Banks.
In Great Britain and France, the North American theatre of the Seven Years' War war usually has no special name, and so the entire worldwide conflict is known as the ''Seven Years' War'' (or the ''Guerre de sept ans''). The "Seven Years" refers to events in Europe, from the official declaration of war in 1756 to the signing of the peace treaty in 1763. These dates do not correspond with the actual fighting in North America, where the fighting between the two colonial powers was largely concluded in six years, from the Jumonville Glen skirmish in 1754 to the capture of Montreal in 1760.<ref>Anderson, Fred. ''Crucible of War: The Seven Years' War and the Fate of Empire in British North America, 1754-1766.'' New York: Knopf, 2000. p. 747</ref>
Elsewhere the conflict is known by several names. In British North America, wars were often named after the sitting British monarch, such as King William's War or Queen Anne's War. Because there had already been a King George's War in the 1740s, British colonists named the second war in King George's reign after their opponents, and thus it became known as the ''French and Indian War''.<ref>Anderson, ''Crucible of War.'' p. 747.</ref> This traditional name remains standard in the United States, although it obscures the fact that American Indians fought on both sides of the conflict.<ref>Jennings, Francis. ''Empire of Fortune: Crowns, Colonies, and Tribes in the Seven Years War in America.'' New York: Norton, 1988. p. xv.</ref> American historians generally use the traditional name or the European title (the Seven Years' War), and have also invented other, less frequently used names for the war, including the ''Fourth Intercolonial War'' and the ''Great War for the Empire''.<ref>Anderson, ''Crucible of War.'' P. 747</ref> Canadian francophones and English speakers both refer to it as the Seven Years' War (''Guerre de Sept Ans'') or the War of the Conquest (''Guerre de la Conquête''), as the war in which New France was conquered by the British and became part of the British Empire. This war was also known as the ''Forgotten War''.
==Reasons for war==
[[File:François Mercier, voyageur canadien.jpg|thumb|upright|A French fur trader. Economic interests were one of the main drivers of the war.]]
The French and Indian War began less than a decade after France and Great Britain had fought on opposing sides in the European War of the Austrian Succession (1740–1748). One cause for the conflict was '''territorial expansion'''. Newfoundland's Grand Banks were fertile fishing grounds and coveted by both sides. Both sides also wanted to expand their territories for trapping furs to trade, and for other pursuits that aided their economic interests. Both the British and the French used trading posts and forts to claim the Ohio Country, the vast territory between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. English claims resulted from royal grants with no definite western boundaries. La Salle had claimed the Mississippi River for France: its drainage area includes the Ohio River Valley. Both Great Britain and France took advantage of Native American factions to secure these claims, to protect their territories, and to keep the other from growing too strong.
A second cause was '''political & religious ideology'''. The English Protestant colonists feared papal influence in North America. New France was administered by French governors and Roman Catholic hierarchy. French missionaries included Armand de La Richardie. English history was told as a story of freedom from Catholic (i.e., foreign) influence. French control over North America represented a threat to Great Britain. In their turn, the French feared English anti-Catholicism, in a time when Catholics were still being persecuted under English law.
== Declaration and Action Anticipating the War ==
===Céloron's expedition===
In June 1747 the Governor-General of New France, the Marquis de la Jonquière, ordered Pierre-Joseph Céloron to lead an expedition to the Ohio Country to remove British influence from the area. Céloron was also to confirm allegiance of the Native Americans in the Ohio territory to the French crown.
Céloron's expedition consisted of 213 soldiers of the Troupes de la marine (French Marines) transported by twenty-three canoes. The expedition left Lachine on June 15, 1749, and two days later reached Fort Frontenac. It then continued along the shoreline of present-day Lake Erie. At Chautauqua Portage (Barcelona, New York), it moved inland to the Allegheny River.
The troop headed south to the Ohio River at present-day Pittsburgh, where Céloron buried lead plates engraved with the French claim to the Ohio Country. Whenever British merchants or fur-traders were encountered by the French, they were informed of the illegality of being on French territory and told to leave the Ohio Country. When the expedition arrived at Logstown, the Native Americans there informed Céloron that they owned the Ohio Country, and they would trade with the British, despite anything the French said.<ref>Fowler, W. M. ''Empires at War: The French and Indian War and the Struggle for North America, 1754-1763.'' New York: Walker, 2005. P. 14</ref>
Céloron continued the expedition. At its farthest point south, it reached the junction between the Ohio River and the Miami River, just south of the village of Pickawillany. Here lived the old Chief of the Miami tribe, whom Céloron called "Old Britain." When Céloron arrived at Pickawillany, he informed the elderly Chief of "dire consequences" of continuing to trade with the British. "Old Britain" ignored the warning. After this meeting, Céloron and his expedition began the trip home, reaching Montreal only on November 10, 1749. In his report, Céloron wrote: "All I can say is that the Natives of these localities are very badly disposed towards the French, and are entirely devoted to the English. I don't know in what way they could be brought back."<ref>Fowler, W. M. ''Empires at War.'' P. 14</ref>
===Langlade's expedition===
On March 17, 1752, Governor-General de la Jonquière died. His temporary replacement was Charles le Moyne de Longueuil. It was not until July 1, 1752 that Ange Duquense de Menneville arrived in New France to take over the post.
In the spring of 1752, Longueuil dispatched an expedition to the Ohio River area. The expedition was led by Charles Michel de Langlade, an officer in the Troupes de la marine. Langlade was given 300 men, some French-Canadians, and others members of the Ottawa tribe. His objective was to punish the Miami of Pickawillany for continuing to trade with the British. At dawn on June 21, 1752, the war party attacked the British trading center at Pickawillany, killing fourteen people of the Miami nation, including "Old Britain." The expedition then returned home.
===Marin's expedition===
In the spring of 1754, Paul Marin de la Malgue was given command of a 2,000 man force of Troupes de la Marine and Aboriginals. His orders were to protect the Ohio from the British. Marin followed the route that Céloron had mapped out four years before. However, where Céloron had buried lead plates, Marin was constructing and garrisoning forts. The first fort that was constructed by Paul Marin was at Presque Isle (Erie, Pennsylvania) on Lake Erie's south shore. He then had a road built to the headwaters of Rivière aux Boeuf (now known as Waterford, Pennsylvania). Marin then constructed a second fort at Le Boeuf, designed to guard the headwaters of the Rivière aux Boeuf.
===Tanaghrisson's proclamation===
On September 3, 1753, Tanaghrisson (d. 1754), Chief of the Mingo, arrived at Fort Le Boeuf. One tradition states that Tanaghrisson hated the French because they had killed and eaten his father. Tanaghrisson told Marin, "I shall strike . . .",<ref>Fowler, ''Empires at War.'' P. 31</ref> threatening the French. The show of force by the French had alarmed the Iroquois in the area. They sent Mohawk runners to William Johnson's manor in Upper New York. Johnson, known to the Iroquois as "Warraghiggey", meaning "He who does big business", had become a respected member of the Iroquois Confederacy in the area. In 1746, Johnson was made a colonel of the Iroquois, and later a colonel of the Western New York Militia.
At Albany, New York, there was a meeting between Governor Clinton of New York and Chief Hendrick, as well as other officials from a handful of American colonies. Chief Hendrick insisted that the British abide by their obligations and block French expansion. When an unsatisfactory response was offered by Clinton, Chief Hendrick proclaimed that the "Covenant Chain", a long-standing friendly relationship between the Iroquois Confederacy and the British Crown, was broken.
===Dinwiddie's reaction===
[[Image:Washington 1772.jpg|thumb|upright|The earliest authenticated portrait of George Washington shows him wearing his colonel's uniform of the Virginia Regiment from the French and Indian War. However, this portrait was painted years after the war in 1772.]]
Governor Robert Dinwiddie of Virginia found himself in a predicament. Many merchants had invested heavily in fur trading in Ohio. If the French made good on their claim to the Ohio Country and drove out the British, then the Virginian merchants would lose a lot of money.
Dinwiddie could not possibly allow the loss of the Ohio Country to France. In October 1753 he wrote a letter to the commander of the French forces in the Ohio Country, Jacques Legardeur de Saint-Pierre, demanding an immediate French withdrawal. To deliver it he delegated Major ''George Washington'' of the Virginia militia. Major Washington left for Fort Le Boeuf on the 31st of October, along with his interpreter Jacob Van Braam and several other men.
A few days later, Washington and his party arrived at Wills Creek (Cumberland, Maryland). Here Washington enlisted the help of Christopher Gist, a surveyor who was familiar with the area. They arrived at Logstown on November 24, 1753. At Logstown, Washington met with Tanaghrisson, who was angry over the French military encroachment upon his land. Washington convinced Tanaghrisson to accompany his small group to Fort Le Boeuf.
On December 12, 1753, Washington and his men reached Fort Le Boeuf. Commander Saint-Pierre invited Washington to dine with him that evening. Over dinner, Washington presented Saint-Pierre with the letter from Dinwiddie. Saint-Pierre was civil in his response, saying, "As to the Summons you send me to retire, I do not think myself obliged to obey it."<ref>Fowler, ''Empires at War''. P. 35.</ref> The French explained to Washington that France's claim to the region was superior to that of the British, as René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de a Salle (1643–1687) had explored the Ohio Country nearly a century earlier.<ref>Ellis, Joseph J. ''His Excellency George Washington.'' New York: Vintage Books, A Division of Random House, Inc., 2004. P. 5</ref>
Washington's party left Fort Le Boeuf early on December 16, 1753. By January 16, 1754, they had arrived in Williamsburg, Virginia. In his report, Washington stated, "The French had swept south."<ref>Fowler, ''Empires at War'', p. 36</ref> They had constructed and garrisoned forts at Presque Isle, Le Boeuf and Venango.
==War==
The French and Indian War was the last of four major colonial wars between the British, the French, and their Native American allies. Unlike the previous three wars, the French and Indian War began on North American soil and then spread to Europe, where Britain officially declared war on France on May 15, 1756, marking the beginnings of the Seven Years' War in Europe. Native Americans fought for both sides, but primarily alongside the French (with one exception being the Iroquois Confederacy, which sided with the American colonies and Britain). The first major event of the war was in 1754. Lieutenant Colonel George Washington, then twenty-one years of age, was sent to negotiate boundaries with the French, who did not give up their forts. Washington led a group of Virginian (colonial) troops to confront the French at Fort Duquesne (present day Pittsburgh). Washington discovered the French troops at '''the Battle of Jumonville Glen''' (about six miles or ten kilometers North-West of soon-to-be-established Fort Necessity). In the ensuing skirmish, a French Officer, Joseph Coulon de Jumonville, was killed. Washington pulled back a few miles and established Fort Necessity. The French forced Washington and his men to retreat. Meanwhile, the Albany Congress was taking place as means to discuss further action.
Edward Braddock led a campaign against the French at Fort Duquesne in 1755. Washington was again among the British and colonial troops. Braddock employed European tactics -- bold, linear marches and firing formations -- and employed heavy cannon. This led to disaster at the '''Monongahela'''. The French and natives were heavily outmanned and outgunned. But they used superior tactics, taking cover behind trees and bushes to gun down and rout the British. Braddock was killed. Despite four close calls, Washington escaped unharmed and led the survivors in retreat. This stunning British defeat heralded a string of major French victories over the next few years, at '''Fort Oswego''', '''Fort William Henry''', '''Fort Duquesne''', and '''Carillon''', where veteran Montcalm famously defeated five times his number. The sole British successes in the early years of the war came in 1755, at '''the Battle of Lake George''', which secured the Hudson Valley; and in the taking of '''Fort Beauséjour''' (which protected the Nova Scotia frontier) by Lieutenant Colonel Robert Monckton. A consequence of this last battle was the subsequent forced deportation of the Acadian population of Nova Scotia and the Beaubassin region of Acadia.
In 1756 William Pitt became Secretary of State of Great Britain. His leadership, and France's continued neglect of the North-American theater, eventually turned the tide in favor of the British. The French were driven from many frontier posts such as Fort Niagara, and the key Fortress Louisbourg fell to the British in 1758. In 1759, '''the Battle of the Plains of Abraham''' gave Quebec City to the British, who had to withstand a siege there after the '''Battle of Sainte-Foy''' a year later. In September of 1760, Pierre François de Rigaud, Marquis de Vaudreuil-Cavagnal, the King's Governor of New France, negotiated a surrender with British General Jeffrey Amherst. General Amherst granted Vaudreuil's request that any French residents who chose to remain in the colony would be given freedom to continue worshiping in their Roman Catholic tradition, continued ownership of their property, and the right to remain undisturbed in their homes. The British provided medical treatment for the sick and wounded French soldiers, and French regular troops were returned to France aboard British ships with an agreement that they were not to serve again in the present war.
'''Summary of the war in America'''
In 1752 the French and their Native allies raided a trading outpost sited at modern day Cleveland rid the area of Pennsylvanians. In 1754 General George Washington attacked French soldiers and then became trapped in his poorly built, Fort Necessity in Great Meadows Pennsylvania and more than one-third of Washingtons's men shortly became casualties. Twenty-two year old Washington and his men surrendered and were allowed to leave back to Virginia. In July 1755, a few miles south of Fort Duquensne in Pennsylvania, the combined forces of French and Natives attacked British colonial troops that were preparing a to assault the fort. The aftermath that ensued would result in a British defeat and General Edward Braddock would be killed. Once London heard of this Britain declared war upon France and formally began the seven years war. After this the British feared that France would attempt to retake Nova Scotia and that the 12,000 French Nova Scotians would break their neutrality, so the British military forced around seven thousand French Nova Scotians from their homeland. This was history's first large-scale modern deportation, the French would be sent from Louisiana to the Caribbean and families would become torn apart. In July of 1758 The British had recaptured the fort at Loiusberg winning control of the St. Lawerence River. This would cut the major French supply route and open up more supply lines for the British. In the fall of 1758 the Shawnee and Delaware Natives accepted peace offerings from the British and the French abandoned Fort Duquesne. A decisive attack would happen in the fall of 1759 when General James Wolfe's forces defeated the French on the Plains of Abraham and thus taking Quebec. A year after this event the British would capture Montreal and the North American stage of the war would be over.
===Outcome===
[[File:Vue de la descente a Terre Neuve par le chevalier de Ternay en 1762.jpg|thumb|The descent of the French on St. John's, Newfoundland, 1762.]]
Though most of the North American fighting ended on September 8, 1760, when the Marquis de Vaudreuil surrendered Montreal — and effectively all of Canada — to Britain (one notable late battle allowed the capture of Spanish Havana by British and colonial forces in 1762), the war officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris on February 10, 1763. The treaty sealed France's loss of all its North American possessions east of the Mississippi except for Saint Pierre and Miquelon islands off Newfoundland. All of Canada was ceded to Britain. France regained the Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique, which had been occupied by the British. The economic value of these islands to France was greater than that of Canada at the time, because of their rich sugar crops; and the islands were easier to defend. However, the British were happy to take New France: defense was not an issue, and they had many sources of sugar. Spain gained Louisiana, including New Orleans, in compensation for its loss of Florida to the British.
French Canada contained approximately 65,000 French-speaking Roman Catholic residents. Early in the war, in 1755, the British had expelled French settlers from Acadia. (Some of these eventually fled to Louisiana, creating the Cajun population.) Now at peace, and eager to secure control of its hard-won colony, Great Britain made concessions to its newly conquered subjects with the Quebec Act of 1774. The history of the Seven Years' War, particularly the siege of Québec and the death of British Brigadier General James Wolfe, generated a vast number of ballads, broadsides, images, maps and other printed materials, which testify to how this event continued to capture the imagination of the British public long after Wolfe's death in 1759.<ref>[http://www.collectionscanada.ca/virtual-vault/ Virtual Vault], an online exhibition of Canadian historical art at Library and Archives Canada</ref>
The European theatre of the war was settled by the Treaty of Hubertusburg on February 15, 1763. The war changed economic, political, and social relations between Britain and its colonies. It plunged Britain into debt, which the Crown chose to pay off with tax money from its colonies. These taxes contributed to the beginning the American Revolutionary War.

== Proclamation of 1763 ==
''(The following text is taken from the Wikipedia article)''
[[Image:map of territorial growth 1775.jpg|thumb|upright|A portion of eastern North America; the 1763 "Proclamation line" is the border between the red and the pink areas.]]
The '''Royal Proclamation of 1763''' was issued October 7, 1763 by George III following Great Britain's acquisition of French territory in North America after the end of the Seven Years' War. The purpose of the proclamation was to make sure Britain could control its new territory for its The Proclamation in essence forbade Americans from settling or buying land west of the Appalachians. Colonists were angry because many already had land in that area. Additionally, the Proclamation gave the Crown a monopoly in land bought from Native Americans.
===Native land===
In the fall of 1763, a royal decree was issued that prohibited the North American colonists from establishing or maintaining settlements west of an imaginary line running down the crest of the Appalachian Mountains. The proclamation acknowledged that Native Americans owned the lands on which they were then residing and white settlers in the area were to be removed.
However, provision was made to allow specially licensed individuals and entities to operate fur trading ventures in the proscribed area. There were two motivations for this policy:
'''To avoid warfare with the Indians.''' Neither side evidenced any affection for the tribes, but Indian conflicts were very expensive, and the British hadn't yet deployed enough soldiers in the West to keep the peace. Some Indians welcomed this policy, believing that separation from the colonies would allow them to resume their traditions. Others realized that the proclamation would, at best, only provide breathing room before the next onslaught of settlers. The fear of conflict with Native Americans was particularly on the mind of the British government in 1763 following Pontiac's Rebellion, a coordinated attack that destroyed nine British forts and settlements.
'''To concentrate colonial settlements on the seaboard where they could be active parts of the British mercantile system.''' British trade officials took it as a first priority to populate the recently secured areas of Canada and Florida (referring to the Treaty of Paris), where colonists could reasonably be expected to trade with the mother country. Settlers living west of the Appalachians would be highly self-sufficient and have little opportunity to trade with English merchants.
The reaction of colonial land speculators and frontiersmen was immediate and negative. They believed their fight in the recent war had been "rewarded" by the creation of a vast restricted native reserve in the lands they coveted. Most concluded that the proclamation was only a temporary measure: a number ignored it entirely and moved into the prohibited area. Almost from its inception, the proclamation was modified to suit the needs of influential people with interests in the American West, both high British officials and colonial leaders.
Beginning in 1764, portions of the Proclamation Line were adjusted westward to accommodate speculative interests. Later, in 1768, the first Treaty of Fort Stanwix formally recognized the surrender of transmontane lands claimed by the Iroquois.
The Proclamation of 1763 was a well-intentioned measure. Pontiac’s Rebellion had inflicted a terrible toll on the frontier settlements in North America and the British government acted prudently by attempting to avoid such conflict in the foreseeable future.
The colonists, however, were not appreciative and regarded the new policy as an infringement of their basic rights. The fact that western expansion was halted at roughly the same time that other restrictive measures were being implemented, made the colonists increasingly suspicious
Almost immediately, many British colonists and land speculators objected to the proclamation boundary, since there were already many settlements beyond the line (some of which had been temporarily evacuated during Pontiac's War), as well as many existing land claims yet to be settled. Indeed, the proclamation itself called for lands to be granted to British soldiers who had served in the Seven Years' War. Prominent American colonists joined with land speculators in Britain to lobby the government to move the line further west. As a result, the boundary line was adjusted in a series of treaties with Native Americans. The Treaty of Fort Stanwix and the Treaty of Hard Labor (both 1768) and the Treaty of Lochaber (1770) opened much of what is now West Virginia and Kentucky to British settlement.
===Organization of new colonies===
Besides regulating colonial expansion, the proclamation dealt with the management of newly ceded French colonies. It established government for four areas: Quebec, West Florida, East Florida, and Grenada. All of these were granted the ability to elect general assemblies under a royally appointed governor or a high council, which could then create laws and ordinances specific to the area in agreement with British and colonial laws. In the meantime, the new colonies enjoyed the same rights as native-born Englishmen, something that British colonists had been fighting over for years. An even bigger affront to the British colonies was the establishment of both civil and criminal courts complete with the right to appeal--but those charged with violating the Stamp or Sugar Act were to be tried in admiralty court, where the defendant was considered guilty until he or she could prove his or her innocence.
===Legacy===
The influence of the Royal Proclamation of 1763 on the coming of the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783) has been variously interpreted. Many historians argue that the proclamation ceased to be a major source of tension after 1768, since the aforementioned treaties opened up extensive lands for settlement. Others have argued that colonial resentment of the proclamation contributed to the growing divide between the colonies and the Mother Country.
In the United States, the Royal Proclamation of 1763 ended with the American Revolutionary War, because Great Britain ceded the land in question to the United States in the Treaty of Paris (1783). Afterwards, the U.S. government also faced difficulties in preventing frontier violence, and eventually adopted policies similar to those of the Royal Proclamation. The first in a series of Indian Intercourse Acts was passed in 1790, prohibiting unregulated trade and travel in Native American lands. Additionally, the U.S. Supreme Court case Johnson v. M'Intosh (1823) established that only the U.S. government, and not private individuals, could purchase land from Native Americans.
The Royal Proclamation continued to govern the cession of aboriginal land in British North America, especially Upper Canada and Rupert's Land. The proclamation forms the basis of land claims of aboriginal peoples in Canada – First Nations, Inuit, and Metis. The Royal Proclamation of 1763 is thus mentioned in Section Twenty-five of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
== The Stamp Act and other Laws ==
[[File:Boston Massacre high-res.jpg|thumb|upright|The Boston Massacre in 1770 worsened American opinions of British rule.]]
In 1764, George Grenville became the British Chancellor of the Exchequer (minister of finance). He allowed customs officers to obtain general writs of assistance, which allowed officers to search random houses for smuggled goods. Grenville thought that if profits from smuggled goods could be directed towards Britain, the money could help pay off debts. Colonists were horrified that they could be searched without warrant at any given moment. Also in 1764, with persuasion from Grenville, Parliament began to impose several taxes on the colonists. '''The Sugar Act''' of 1764 reduced the taxes imposed by the Molasses Act, but at the same time strengthened the collection of the taxes. It also provided that British judges, and not juries, would try cases involving that Act.
The next year, Parliament passed the '''Quartering Act''', which required the colonies to provide room and board for British soldiers stationed in North America; the soldiers would serve various purposes, chiefly to enforce the previously passed acts of Parliament.
Following the Quartering Act, Parliament passed one of the most infamous pieces of legislation: the '''Stamp Act'''. Previously, Parliament imposed only external taxes on imports. But the Stamp Act provided the first internal tax on the colonists, requiring that a tax stamp be applied to books, newspapers, pamphlets, legal documents, playing cards, and dice. The legislature of Massachusetts requested a conference on the Stamp Act; the Stamp Act Congress met in October that year, petitioning the King and Parliament to repeal the act before it went into effect at the end of the month, crying "taxation without representation."
The act faced vehement opposition throughout the colonies. Merchants threatened to boycott British products. Thousands of New Yorkers rioted near the location where the stamps were stored. In Boston, the Sons of Liberty, a violent group led by radical statesman Samuel Adams, destroyed the home of Lieutenant Governor Thomas Hutchinson. Parliament did indeed repeal the Stamp Act, but additionally passed the Declaratory Act, which stated that Great Britain retained the power to tax the colonists, even without substantive representation.
Believing that the colonists only objected to internal taxes, Chancellor of the Exchequer Charles Townshend proposed bills that would later become the '''Townshend Acts'''. The Acts, passed in 1767, taxed imports of tea, glass, paint, lead, and even paper. The colonial merchants again threatened to boycott the taxed products, reducing the profits of British merchants, who in turn petitioned Parliament to repeal the Townshend Acts. Parliament eventually agreed to repeal much of the Townshend legislation. But Parliament refused to remove the tax on tea, implying that the British retained the authority to tax the colonies despite a lack of representation.
In 1773, Parliament passed the '''Tea Act''', which exempted the British East India Company from the Townshend taxes. Thus, the East India Company gained a great advantage over other companies when selling tea in the colonies. The colonists who resented the advantages given to British companies dumped British tea overboard in the Boston Tea Party in December of 1773.
{{center/top}}[[Image: Boston Tea Party.jpg]]<br>''The Boston Tea Party''{{center/end}}
In retaliation for the Boston Tea Party, Parliament passed the '''Coercive Acts''', which were in the colonies known as the Intolerable Acts. Parliament reduced the power of the Massachusetts legislature and closed the port of Boston. Also, the Quartering Act was extended to require private individuals to lodge soldiers. Furthermore, Parliament allowed royal officials accused of crimes to be tried by a British, rather than a colonial, jury.
== First Continental Congress ==
[[File:CarpentersHall00.jpg|thumb|upright|Carpenters Hall in Philadelphia, where the First Continental Congress met.]]
In order to debate a response to the Intolerable Acts, all American colonies except for Georgia sent delegates to '''the First Continental Congress''' at Philadelphia. The Congress met in September 1774 and issued a Declaration of Rights and Grievances. When the Congress adjourned, it stipulated another Congress would meet if King George III did not meet the demands of the Declaration. When the Second Congress did meet, the military hostilities of the Revolutionary War had already begun, and the issue of Independence, rather than a redress of grievances, dominated the debates.

Literacy grew for both men and women during the 18th century.<ref>http://www.cla.csulb.edu/ebro/learning-to-read-and-write-in-colonial-america/</ref> In New England and the Middle States, more middle-class girls were sent to school. However, as Science and the requirements for citizenship became more a part of education, girls were excluded from learning these topics.
Higher education continued to develop, with the 1746 opening of The College of New Jersey (later known as Princeton), and King's College (now Columbia) in 1754. All of these universities were meant exclusively for White men, though some of the colleges experimented by admitting Native Americans. In the public schools, vocational education expanded.<ref>A people and a nation eight edition</ref><ref>Wikipedia.org\ education_in_the_Age_of_Enlightenment.</ref><ref>American Education the colonial experience by Cremin A. Lawrence</ref>
Though what was lost by failing to educate the underclasses was incalculable, we can gauge the lost possibilities through such individuals as Benjamin Banneker and Phillis Wheatley. Mr. Banneker, a self-educated free African-American, observed the stars, wrote his own almanac, and was one of the surveyors of what would later become the District of Columbia. Miss Wheatley, an African-born slave educated and freed by her mistress, wrote a remarkable volume of poems published in the year 1773. Most of these had been published in ''The Newport Mercury'', edited by Benjamin Franklin's brother James.
==Questions For Review==
1. What were the reasons for the French and Indian War?
2. What was the strategy of General Braddock against the French at Fort Duquesne? What was the strategy of the defending French and Indian forces?
3. Examine the succession of acts imposed upon the American Colonists in the wake of the war, beginning with the Sugar Act. What was the intended purpose of each act? What was its actual effect?

==Synopsis==
This book attempts to teach the skills that can help you to have lucid dreams — dreams in which you know that you are dreaming. For the skeptical, lucid dreams have been [[w:Lucid_dream#Scientific research|scientifically demonstrated]] to exist. The ability to lucid dream will open your mind to a world of infinite possibilities as you become adept at taking control of your dreams.
We will start by explaining how lucid dreaming works biologically. Next, the book will prepare you for lucid dreaming by helping you to remember more of your dreams (dream recall). You will then learn a variety of ways of becoming, and staying, lucid. Finally, you will find suggested activities to try while in the dream world.
==Contents==
Before each target there is an image with a subjective indication of how complete that target is:
: {{stage short|25%}} Means that there is little information or the information there may not be reliable.
: {{stage short|50%}} Means that there is some information, but it's not very detailed or extensive.
: {{stage short|75%}} Means that much of the information is there, but it needs to be touched up or organized. This is still usable.
: {{stage short|100%}} Means that the information is basically complete. However, more detail can always be added.

== 2) Student/Class Directory ==
:a. Every class at a school can have many students, and each student can be registered to more than one class at a time. Create an XML schema to capture this many-to-many relationship. Be sure to include the class name, capacity, building number, building name, and room number. Also include the student first/last name separately and his or her grade for the class.
:b. Using the XML schema created in part a, create an XML document and an XML stylesheet. You can make up your own data, but be sure to use at least three students for each class.

==Answer==
1. Change the HTML document below into an XHTML document conforming to the W3C's ''transitional'' standard. Validate your page using the validator available at http://validator.w3.org/.
<br>
== Exercise 1 ==
Below is an example of an invalid HTML document that contains a number of deprecated features. It is also badly structured. The document needs converting to XHTML with the content separated from the presentation.
=== Exercise 1.a. ===
a. Change the HTML document into a valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional document. Validate your page using the validator available at http://validator.w3.org/.
The XHTML 1.0 Transitional document:
<blockquote style="background: white; border: 1px solid black; padding: 1em;">
<pre><nowiki>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

</p>
<a href="http://validator.w3.org">Validator</a>
</body>
</html>
</nowiki></pre>
</blockquote>
=== Exercise 1.b. ===
b. Starting with the model answer for question 1.a. identify all deprecated elements and attributes in the document and replace them with CSS in a linked external stylesheet. See [[HyperText Markup Language/Tag List]] for details of deprecated elements.
The deprecated features are:
* the <code>text</code> attribute of the <code>body</code> element;
* the <code>u</code> element; and
* the <code>font</code>.
A possible stylesheet is:
<blockquote style="background: white; border: 1px solid black; padding: 1em;">
<pre><nowiki>
body {
color:blue
}
span#welcome {
text-decoration:underline
/* It is generally a bad idea to underline anything other than hyperlinks. */
}
p.highlight {
color:#9900FF;
font-size:150%;
font-family:Arial,sans-serif
/* It is good practice to include one as the CSS generic font families,
e.g. sans-serif, as an alternative.
*/
}
</nowiki></pre>
</blockquote>
The document with deprecated features removed – note the use of the <code>id</code> and <code>class</code> attributes to provide hooks for the CSS selectors.

=== Exercise 1.c. ===
c. Starting with the model answer for question 1.b. replace all presentational markup with semantic markup and ensure that all inline elements are contained in block-level elements. Change the DOCTYPE to XHTML 1.0 Strict and validate the page with the W3C Markup Validation Service.
The presentational elements are:
* <code>b</code>
* <code>i</code>
* <code>br</code>
The 'paragraph' beginning with a <code>span</code> element is a mixture of inline elements and text and so should be contained in a block-level element such as <code>p</code> (paragraph).
The <code>a</code> (anchor) element is inline and needs enclosing in a block-level element.

== Web Services Overview ==
'''Web Services''' are a new breed of Web application. They are self-contained, self-describing, modular applications that can be published, located, and invoked across the Web. Web services perform functions, which can be anything from simple requests to complicated business processes. Once a Web service is deployed, other applications (and other Web services) can discover and invoke the deployed service. Web services make use of XML to describe the request and response, and HTTP as its network transport.
The primary difference between a Web Service and a '''web application''' relates to collaboration. Web applications are simply business applications which are located or invoked using web protocols. Similarly, Web Services also perform computing functions remotely over a network. However, Web Services use internet protocols with the specific intent of enabling inter operable machine to machine coordination.
Web Services have emerged as a solution to problems associated with distributed computing. '''Distributed computing''' is the use of multiple systems to perform a function rather than having a single system perform it. The previous technologies used in distributed computing, primarily Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) and Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM), had some limitations. For example, neither has achieved complete platform independence or easy transport over firewalls. Additionally, DCOM is not vendor independent, being a Microsoft product.
Some of the primary needs for a distributed computing standard were:
<ul>
<li>Cross-platform support for Business to Business, as well as internal, communication.</li>
<li>Concordance with existing Internet infrastructure as much as possible.</li>
<li>Scalability, both in number and complexity of nodes.</li>
<li>Internalization.</li>
<li>Tolerance of failure.</li>
<li>Vendor independence.</li>
<li>Suitability for trivial and non-trivial requests.</li>
</ul>
Over time, business information systems became highly configured and differentiated. This inevitably made system interaction extremely costly and time consuming. Developers began realizing the benefits of standardizing Web Service development.
Using web standards seemed to be an intuitive and logical step toward attaining these goals. Web standards already provided a platform independent means for system communication and were readily accepted by information system users.
The end result was the development of Web Services. A Web Service forms a distributed environment, in which objects can be accessed remotely via standardized interfaces. It uses a three-tiered model, defining a service provider, a service consumer, and a service broker. This allows the Web Service to be a loose relationship, so that if a service provider goes down, the broker can always direct consumers to another one. Similarly, there are many brokers, so consumers can always find an available one. For communication, Web Services use open Web standards: TCP/IP, HTTP, and XML based SOAP.
At higher levels technologies such as XAML, XLANG, (transactional support for complex web transactions involving multiple web services) and XKMS (ongoing work by Microsoft and Verisign to support authentication and registration) might be added.
== SOAP ==
[[File:SOAP.svg|thumb|right|220px|SOAP structure]]
'''Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)''' is a method for sending information to and from Web Services in an extensible format. SOAP can be used to send information or remote procedure calls encoded as XML. Essentially, SOAP serves as a universally accepted method of communication with web services. Businesses adhere to the SOAP conventions in order to simplify the process of interacting with Web Services.
<syntaxhighlight lang="XML">
<SOAP:Envelope xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP:Header>
<!-- SOAP header -->
</SOAP:Header>
<SOAP:Body SOAP:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<!-- SOAP body -->
</SOAP:Body>
</SOAP:Envelope>
</syntaxhighlight>
A SOAP message contains either a request method for invoking a Web Service, or contains response information to a Web Service request.
Adhering to this layout when developing independent Web Services provides notable benefits to the businesses. Due to the fact that Web Applications are designed to be utilized by a myriad of actors, developers want them to be easily adoptable. Using established and familiar standards of communication ultimately reduces the amount of effort it takes users to effectively interact with a Web Service.
The SOAP Envelope is used for defining and organizing the content contained in Web Service messages. Primarily, the SOAP envelope serves to indicate that the specified document will be used for service interaction. It contains an optional SOAP Header and a SOAP Body. Messages are sent in the SOAP body, and the SOAP head is used for sending other information that wouldn't be expected in the body. For example, if the SOAP:actor attribute is present in the SOAP header, it indicates who the recipient of the message should be.
A web service transaction involves a SOAP request and a SOAP response. The example we will be using is a Web Service provided by Weather.gov. The input is latitude, longitude, a start date, how many days of forecast information desired, and the format of the data. The SOAP request will look like this:
<syntaxhighlight lang="XML">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?/>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<m:NDFDgenByDayRequest xmlns:SOAPSDK1="http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/xml/DWMLgen/wsdl/ndfdXML.wsdl">
<latitude xsi:type="xsd:decimal">33.955464</latitude>
<longitude xsi:type="xsd:decimal">-83.383245</longitude>
<startDate xsi:type="xsd:date"></startDate>
<numDays xsi:type="xsd:integer">1</numDays>
<format>24 Hourly</format>
</m:NDFDgenByDayRequest>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>

SOAP handles data by encoding it on the sender side and decoding it on the receiver side. The data types handled by SOAP are based on the W3C XML Schema specification. Simple types include strings, integers, floats, and doubles, while compound types are made up of primitive types.
<syntaxhighlight lang="XML">
<element name="name" type="xsd:string" />
<SOAP:Array SOAP:arrayType="xsd:string[2]">
<string>Web</string>
<string>Services</string>
</SOAP:Array>
</syntaxhighlight>
Because they are text based, SOAP messages generally have no problem getting through firewalls or other barriers. They are the ideal way to pass information to and from web services.
== Service Description - WSDL ==
'''Web Service Description Language (WSDL)''' was created to provide information about how to connect to and query a specific Web Service. This document also adheres to strict formatting and organizational guidelines. However, the methods, parameters, and service information are application specific. Web Services perform different functionality and contain independent information, however they are all organized the same way. By creating a standard organizational architecture for these services, developers can effectively invoke and utilize them with little to no familiarization. To use a web service, a developer can follow the design standards of the WSDL to easily determine all the information and procedures associated with its usage.
Essentially, a WSDL document serves as an instruction for interacting with a Web Service. It contains no application logic, giving the service a level of autonomy. This enables users to effectively interact with the service without having to understand its inner workings.
The following is an example of a WSDL file for a web service that provides a temperature, given a U.S. zip code.

From the WSDL file, a consumer should be able to access data in a web service.
For a more detailed analysis of how this particular web service, please visit [http://www.weather.gov/xml/ Weather.gov]
== Service Discovery - UDDI ==
You've seen how WSDL can be used to share interface definitions for Web Services, but how do you go about finding a Web Service in the first place? There are countless independent Web Services that are developed and maintained by just as many different organizations. Upon adopting Web Service practices and methodologies, developers sought to foster the involvement and creative reuse of their systems. It soon became apparent that there was a need for an enumerated record of these services and their respective locations. This information would empower developers to leverage the best practices and processes of Web Services quickly and easily. Additionally, having a central reference of current Web Service capabilities enables developers avoid developing redundant applications.
UDDI defines registries in which services can be published and found. The UDDI specification was creaed by Microsoft, Ariba, and IBM. UDDI defines a data structure and Application Programming Interface (API).
In the three-tier model mentioned before, UDDI is the service broker. Its function is to enable service consumers to find appropriate service providers.
Connecting to UDDI registries using Java can be accomplished through the Java API for XML Registries (JAXR). JAXR creates a layer of abstraction, so that it can be used with UDDI and other types of XML Registries, such as the ebXML Registry and Repository standard.
== Using Java With Web Services ==
To execute a SOAP message, an application must be used to communicate with the service provider. Due to its flexibility, almost any programming language can be used to execute SOAP message. For our purposes, however, we will be focusing on using Java to interact with Web Services.
Using Java with web services requires some external libraries.
<ul>
<li>Apache SOAP Toolkit</li>
<li>Java Mail Framework</li>
<li>JavaBeans Activation Framework</li>
<li>Xerces XML parser</li>
</ul>
Let's go through using Java to query the Temperature Web Service we talked about earlier.
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
import org.apache.soap.util.xml.*;
import org.apache.soap.*;
import org.apache.soap.rpc.*;
public class TempClient
{
public static float getTemp (URL url, String zipcode) throws Exception
{
Call call = new Call ();
// Service uses standard SOAP encoding
String encodingStyleURI = Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC;
call.setEncodingStyleURI(encodingStyleURI);
// Set service locator parameters
call.setTargetObjectURI ("urn:xmethods-Temperature");
call.setMethodName ("getTemp");
// Create input parameter vector
Vector params = new Vector ();
params.addElement (new Parameter("zipcode", String.class, zipcode, null));
call.setParams (params);
// Invoke the service ....
Response resp = call.invoke (url,"");
// ... and evaluate the response
if (resp.generatedFault ())
{
throw new Exception();
}
else
{
// Call was successful. Extract response parameter and return result
Parameter result = resp.getReturnValue ();
Float rate=(Float) result.getValue();
return rate.floatValue();
}
}
// Driver to illustrate service invocation
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try
{
URL url=new URL("http://services.xmethods.net:80/soap/servlet/rpcrouter");
String zipcode= "30605";
float temp = getTemp(url,zipcode);
System.out.println(temp);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
</syntaxhighlight>
This Java code effectively hides all the SOAP from the user. It invokes the target object by name and URL, and sets the parameter ''zipcode''. But what does the underlying SOAP Request look like?
<syntaxhighlight lang="XML">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:n="urn:xmethods-Temperature"
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<soap:Body soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<n:getTemp>
<zipcode xsi:type="xs:string">30605</zipcode>
</n:getTemp>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
</syntaxhighlight>
As you see, the SOAP request uses the parameters passed in by the Java Call to fill out the SOAP envelope and direct the message. Similarly, the response comes back into the Java program as '70.0'. The response SOAP is also hidden by the Java program.
<syntaxhighlight lang="XML">
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Here's an additional example of using Java and SOAP to interact with Web Services. This particular Web Service is called the "US Zip Validator" and takes a ZipCode as a parameter, which then returns a corresponding latitude and longitude. When developing applications to interact with Web Services, the first step should be to review the WSDL document.
The WSDL document for this service is located here: [http://www.webservicemart.com/uszip.asmx?WSDL http://www.webservicemart.com/uszip.asmx?WSDL]
This document will contain all the necessary instructions for interacting with the "US Zip Validator" Web Service.

This Java class refers to an XML document(SOAPRequest.xml), which is used as the SOAP message. This document should be included in the same project folder as the Java application invoking the service.
After reviewing the "US Zip Validator" WSDL document, it is clear that we would like to invoke the "getTemp" method. This information is contained within the SOAP body and includes the appropriate parameters.

Following a successful interaction, the Web Service provider will provide a response that is similar in format to the user request. When developing in NetBeans, run this project and examine the subsequent SOAP message response in the Tomcat output window.
==Web Services with Netbeans==
The Netbeans version used for this explanation is 5.0.
After Netbeans is open, click on the "Runtime" tab on the left pane, then right-click "Web Services" and select "Add Web Service." In the "URL" field, enter the address of the web service WSDL file, in our example above it is "http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/xml/DWMLgen/wsdl/ndfdXML.wsdl" and click Get Web Service Description. This will bring up the information of the web service.

| Web services are applications that use XML to communicate with many different systems to perform a task. To facilitate the use of web services, protocols were developed that allow them to be flexible and scalable. SOAP is used to send and define information and WSDL was created to provide information about how to connect to and query a web service. UDDI describes where these web services can be found.

== [[Elements of Political Communication]] ==
Hi there,<br />
Since there isn't really a "peer review" process that I know of on Wikibooks, I was wondering if you could do me a favor. I've been working on [[Elements of Political Communication]] for a year or so, off and on when I had the time. At some point (though I'm not sure when) I'd like to nominate it for featured book status, but I still have a number of changes to make. I was wondering if you could skim through it and give me a few thoughts on style, structure, format, or anything else that crosses your mind. I've tried to keep it readable, printable, and most importantly, practical. It uses a [[Template:Quiz|new template]], so that probably should be checked out for any potential issues, too. If it isn't really your thing, could you possibly direct me to an editor who might help? Thanks a ton, – [[User:Runfellow|Runfellow]] ([[User talk:Runfellow|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Runfellow|contribs]]) 16:51, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
:In regards to functioning and structure beyond the accepted conventions there has been many divergent views. I will gladly take a look and comment according to my preferences.
:I'm not a great supporter of the featured book process, but understand the validity of the goal of providing readers the more complete works.
:If you are after a preview of the process (by having the general community review the book outside of the featured book process itself) you could place an announcement on the [[Wikibooks:Reading room/Projects]] or you could first attempt to get an idea from those reading/editing/interested in the specific work ([http://stats.grok.se/en.b/latest60/Elements_of_Political_Communication Elements of Political Communication has been viewed 423 times in the last 60 days]) by adding a information box linking and promoting a dialog on the talk page. --[[User:Panic2k4|Panic]] ([[User talk:Panic2k4|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Panic2k4|contribs]]) 07:31, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
:One thing that I dislike but it is more a software limitation is having a large list of references/notes at the bottom of a page and it is one motive why I do not use beyond directly mentioning them in the text (or linking to Wikipedia where the reader can get more details and editors maintain the information).
:As an on-line reader I also prefer larger pages than a need to navigate across the work, especially if some of the pages have no real content in it. I have in my works attempted to join my need as an editor to have a larger view of the content with that reader preference (even useful for section printing) and attempt to provide a full chapter as a single page. Some people like it some don't but it can be done easily with wiki trasclusions and keep both sides happy (don't remember how it works out with the references/notes).
:I like the entry page, I would only move the search box up a bit since you provide navigation into subsections a online reader that is revisiting or someone that is just browsing may need to use it more than once and having it in the bottom of the page in todays widescreen setups is a bit bothersome. --[[User:Panic2k4|Panic]] ([[User talk:Panic2k4|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Panic2k4|contribs]]) 07:47, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
::Featured Book status obviously isn't a huge deal, just a way to spread the word a bit more and have a little fun. Regarding the references, I admit the structure is not very intuitive for more novice editors, but I think it works well for the time being as a consistent system that avoids the clutter you're talking about. On the subject of larger pages, I'll look into doing an transclusions, but a) I'm also keenly aware of the average person's reading habits online and b) the eventual goal here is to expand the content of each page, slowly but surely, with practical and useful information. I'll see about moving the search box; everything is a bit tightly packed in there right now that there's little room to maneuver. – [[User:Runfellow|Runfellow]] ([[User talk:Runfellow|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Runfellow|contribs]]) 16:47, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
== Migration of other controversial content ==
Hi Panic,
I was thinking it might be good to migrate most of the content from [[wikiindex:NewgonWiki|NewgonWiki]] and [[wikiindex:BoyWiki|BoyWiki]] over here. I'm not sure what the title of the book(s) would be; perhaps [[boylove]], [[intergenerational sexuality]], or [[sexual emancipation of minors]], or something. This [https://www.newgon.com/wiki/Debate_Guide debate guide] provides some interesting arguments, for instance.
I'm not too familiar with the norms around here. Sometimes policy can say one thing, and practice can be quite another. Are one-sided polemics considered okay for inclusion? I figure, someone can create another book with polemics from the opposing viewpoint, so in that way, balance between different arguments can be achieved.
On some Wikimedia wikis, the topic of adult-child sexual relationships is so touchy that even advocating that this type of content be included could be considered grounds for banning the user. I don't see any such policy here, but I'm not in a mood to get banned, so I thought I'd ask first. Also, even if the reaction wouldn't be a ban, I don't like to create content that's just going to be deleted. Thanks, [[User:Leucosticte|Leucosticte]] ([[User talk:Leucosticte|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Leucosticte|contribs]]) 23:51, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
:First I must confess that the subject in itself is something that I find displeasing in certain circumstances/context, but at the same time will acknowledge the need of making it visible and not hidden or made into a taboo. Humans are complex and society is often restrictive to fringe behaviors and minorities (for many reasons some bad others good).
:Having established that I would support the creation of a work regarding the subject if it conforms to a textbook with educational value, there are already books that could probably include this subject maybe [[Abnormal Sexual Psychology]]...
:As for keeping a specific viewpoint you will need to cement that as the specificity of the scope of the book and provide for a book specific community record/forum to process and approve changes and core modification so that they may be consensual and reduce interference for non-contributors. Note that due to its controversial nature there will be a high probability that someone will attempt to get the Wikibook's community in general to delete the project. It would certainly need extra care as to stay within our project's guidelines, if so then it is all up for to the value of the content and the argumentation for its existence here. --[[User:Panic2k4|Panic]] ([[User talk:Panic2k4|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Panic2k4|contribs]]) 06:11, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
== Cannot vs. can not on [[Computer Science Design Patterns/Singleton|Singleton Pattern]] ==
My apologies for the hasty edit. After some research, there does seem to be [http://english.stackexchange.com/a/4516 a lot of discussion] on the subject, and [http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/cannot Oxford Dictionaries] states that can not is also acceptable.
Cheers, [[User:Hardwigg|Hardwigg]] ([[User talk:Hardwigg|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Hardwigg|contribs]]) 18:09, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
:No problem its interesting how any living language evolves and is shaped by its use. Somethings we like or see as logical and acceptable others we dislike or become annoyances by how they create exceptions to normal rules. In this case I see "cannot" as a creep of the way dialog passes into writing and as an unnecessary innovation that at best shows a modicum of laziness as I can't see any added value... --[[User:Panic2k4|Panic]] ([[User talk:Panic2k4|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Panic2k4|contribs]]) 20:40, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
:: <dropping in on the conversation>
:: Interesting. To me "cannot" and "can not" mean different things, and "cannot" is much more often wanted. If somebody can not do something, I understand that to mean they are able to not do it, where as if they cannot do it, I understand they are unable to do it. When someone uses "can not" to mean the second thing rather than the first, I find I have to stop and think about what they mean. Presumably, this is because I find the distinction between the two meanings useful; if I were, occasionally, trying to say the first thing out loud, I would carefully enunciate a pause between "can" and "not" to emphasize that "not" is grouped with the word after it rather than the "can" before it, and I imitate that pause or lack of pause in my orthography. --[[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]] ([[User talk:Pi zero|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Pi zero|contribs]]) 22:27, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for the corrections. For the "program text" term, I want to say I read it in a few books, one of which was a concurrent programming book. It makes sense when you think about it, however it isn't a widely conjured term and may raise a copyright conflict. Thanks.
== Portuguese books split ==
Thanks for [https://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Portuguese/Contents&diff=next&oldid=2413903 adding the TODO box here]. I agree they should perhaps be merged, but did you notice as well that there's actually a three way split in these books. There's a [[Brazilian Portuguese]] book. And a book which has two bits to it [[Portuguese/Contents#Courses for Portuguese spoken in Brazil]] and [[Contents#Courses for Portuguese spoken in Portugal]]. So that's messy. It seems to me those first two should definitely be merged somehow, even if the brazil/portugal separation remains. Some old discussion here: [[Contents#Separate_wikibook_Brazilian_Portuguese]]. Very old discussion in fact. One day I should just ''be bold'' and merge it somehow. -- [[User:Harry Wood|Harry Wood]] ([[User talk:Harry Wood|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Harry Wood|contribs]]) 14:10, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

== [[Elements of Political Communication]] ==
Hi there,<br />
Since there isn't really a "peer review" process that I know of on Wikibooks, I was wondering if you could do me a favor. I've been working on [[Elements of Political Communication]] for a year or so, off and on when I had the time. At some point (though I'm not sure when) I'd like to nominate it for featured book status, but I still have a number of changes to make. I was wondering if you could skim through it and give me a few thoughts on style, structure, format, or anything else that crosses your mind. I've tried to keep it readable, printable, and most importantly, practical. It uses a [[Template:Quiz|new template]], so that probably should be checked out for any potential issues, too.

== Migration of other controversial content ==
Hi Panic,
I was thinking it might be good to migrate most of the content from [[wikiindex:NewgonWiki|NewgonWiki]] and [[wikiindex:BoyWiki|BoyWiki]] over here. I'm not sure what the title of the book(s) would be; perhaps [[boylove]], [[intergenerational sexuality]], or [[sexual emancipation of minors]], or something.

My apologies for the hasty edit. After some research, there does seem to be [http://english.stackexchange.com/a/4516 a lot of discussion] on the subject, and [http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/cannot Oxford Dictionaries] states that can not is also acceptable.

:No problem its interesting how any living language evolves and is shaped by its use. Somethings we like or see as logical and acceptable others we dislike or become annoyances by how they create exceptions to normal rules. In this case I see "cannot" as a creep of the way dialog passes into writing and as an unnecessary innovation that at best shows a modicum of laziness as I can't see any added value... --[[User:Panic2k4|Panic]] ([[User talk:Panic2k4|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Panic2k4|contribs]]) 20:40, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
:: <dropping in on the conversation>
:: Interesting. To me "cannot" and "can not" mean different things, and "cannot" is much more often wanted. If somebody can not do something, I understand that to mean they are able to not do it, where as if they cannot do it, I understand they are unable to do it. When someone uses "can not" to mean the second thing rather than the first, I find I have to stop and think about what they mean. Presumably, this is because I find the distinction between the two meanings useful; if I were, occasionally, trying to say the first thing out loud, I would carefully enunciate a pause between "can" and "not" to emphasize that "not" is grouped with the word after it rather than the "can" before it, and I imitate that pause or lack of pause in my orthography. --[[User:Pi zero|Pi zero]] ([[User talk:Pi zero|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Pi zero|contribs]]) 22:27, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for the corrections. For the "program text" term, I want to say I read it in a few books, one of which was a concurrent programming book. It makes sense when you think about it, however it isn't a widely conjured term and may raise a copyright conflict. Thanks.
== Portuguese books split ==
Thanks for [https://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Portuguese/Contents&diff=next&oldid=2413903 adding the TODO box here]. I agree they should perhaps be merged, but did you notice as well that there's actually a three way split in these books. There's a [[Brazilian Portuguese]] book. And a book which has two bits to it [[Portuguese/Contents#Courses for Portuguese spoken in Brazil]] and [[Contents#Courses for Portuguese spoken in Portugal]]. So that's messy. It seems to me those first two should definitely be merged somehow, even if the brazil/portugal separation remains. Some old discussion here: [[Contents#Separate_wikibook_Brazilian_Portuguese]]. Very old discussion in fact. One day I should just ''be bold'' and merge it somehow. -- [[User:Harry Wood|Harry Wood]] ([[User talk:Harry Wood|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Harry Wood|contribs]]) 14:10, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

==Learning objectives==
Upon completion of this chapter, you will be able to
* understand the Resource Description Framework (RDF)
* use RDF to define metadata for web resources
* include standards like the Dublin Core for your description
* explore how Adobe is handling metadata
* create your own individual properties to expand your description
==Introduction==
===Concept===
The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is terminology used to encode, exchange and reuse metadata in the World Wide Web. Metadata, structured data about data, includes any important type of information about a resource such as author, title, creation date or language. A '''resource''' is everything that can be addressed with a Uniform Resource Identifier ([http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2396.txt URI]). For example, a web page or a distinct type of document. RDF considers '''description''' as the act of making statements about the properties (attributes, characteristics) and inter-relationships of these resources. A '''framework''' is a common model to contain or manage the diverse information about a resource.
'''Why do we not use XML to describe things?'''<br>
* XML is too flexible. There are too many ways to describe things. For example, the name of a person (see code example). Each of these XML documents would map into a different logical tree. However, a query ,like what is the name of person x, has to be independent of the choice of the tree. RDF is different because it has a standard way of interpreting XML-encoded descriptions of resources which converts into one logical tree and thereby covers all possible reprensentations of a description.
<person name="Pete Maravich">
or
<person>
<name>Pete Maravich</name>
</person>
* XML documents follow a schema. The order of elements is restricted, and documents are not extensible without changing the schema. RDF allows to list information regardless of their order or appearence. RDF is also openly extensible. This means if one receives a description about something or someone, one can easily add information without being limited to following a schema. This is a great advantage, particularly for annotation and metadata applications. Besides that, it is intricate to retrieve any semantic meaning from an XML document without knowing the XML schema.
<br>
RDF is an application of XML that enforces the needed structural constraints to provide unambiguous methods of expressing semantics. XML syntax guarantees vendor independence, extensibility, validation and the ability to represent complex structures. RDF extends the general XML syntax and model to be specific for describing resources. Furthermore, RDF uses XML namespaces that allow to scope and uniquely identify a set of properties. With namespaces that point to URIs, one can generate globally unique names for its resources. Unique names need no context to qualify.
===Brief History===
RDF is a result of several metadata communities coming together to build a robust and flexible architecture for supporting metadata on the existing web. The first RDF specification was released 1997 by Ora Lassila and Ralph Swick. Based on that specification RDF interest groups were established in the following years and RDF became a W3C recommendation <br/>([http://www.w3.org/RDF/ W3C RDF]). The potential of RDF was soon realized and once its use is widespread the impacts will be tremendous. Ora Lassila said the following ([http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-rdf-simple-intro W3C_NOTE_1997-11-13]).
{{center|1=''Once the web has been sufficiently "populated" with rich metadata, what can we expect? First, searching on the web will become easier as search engines have more information available, and thus searching can be more focused. Doors will also be opened for automated software agents to roam the web, looking for information for us or transacting business on our behalf. The web of today, the vast unstructured mass of information, may in the future be transformed into something more manageable - and thus something far more useful.''}}
===Purpose===
Besides the human-readable display of metadata RDF is intended to enable the exchange of information between different applications without any loss of meaning. The effective use of metadata among applications, however, requires common conventions about semantics syntax, and structure. RDF imposes these conventions that make an unambiguous transfer possible. Application areas include resource description, site-maps, content rating, electronic commerce, collaborative services, and privacy preferences. Earlier one of the major obstacles of metadata interoperability has been the multiplicity of incompatible standards for metadata syntax and schema definition languages. However since RDF is a W3C recommendation and communities provide a standard vocabulary to describe things application designers and developers can create applications that allow metadata exchange in a standardized way.
==The Basic Structure==
===Statements===
With RDF one can make statements about resources. Below you can see an example of a statement that can be made about a web page. The key parts of the statement are highlighted:
<span style="color:blue;"><nowiki>http://www.example.org/index.html</nowiki></span> has an <span style="color:red;">author</span> whose name is <span style="color:darkgreen;">Pete Maravich</span>.
In general a RDF statement is a triple that contains a:
*<span style="color:blue;">Resource</span>, the subject of a statement
*<span style="color:red;">Property</span>, the predicate of a statement
*<span style="color:darkgreen;">Value</span>, the object of a statement
RDF is based on the concept that every resources can have different properties which have values. A resources, represented by an URI reference, can be fully described by using properties and their values. Other properties for this web page could be:
<span style="color:blue;"><nowiki>http://www.example.org/index.html</nowiki></span> has a <span style="color:red;">language</span> which is <span style="color:darkgreen;">English</span>.
<br />or<br />
<span style="color:blue;"><nowiki>http://www.example.org/index.html</nowiki></span> has a <span style="color:red;">title</span> which is <span style="color:darkgreen;"> Example_Title</span>.
===Graphs===
An RDF statement is a structured triple that contains a subject, a predicate and an object. A set of such triples is called a graph where a subject is always a node, a predicate is always an arc and an object is always a node:<br><br>
[[Image:Basic RDF Graph.svg|Abstract RDF graph]]<br>
<small>'''Figure 1 - Abstract RDF graph'''</small><br>
The set of example statements can be represented by the following graph:
[[Image:Rdf-graph1.png|Example graph]]<br>
<small>'''Figure 2 - Example graph'''</small>
<table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>Subject</td>
<td>http://www.example.org/index.html</td>
<td>is either an URI reference or a blank node</td></tr>
<tr><td>Predicate</td>
<td>http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/Title</td>
<td>is an URI reference</td></tr>
<tr><td> Object</td>
<td>Example_Title</td>
<td>can either be an URI reference, a literal or a blank node</td></tr>
</table>
<br>
===RDF/XML===
Natural English sentences and graphs that represent RDF's concept model are very useful pratices to understand the basics of RDF. However RDF uses a normative XML syntax called RDF/XML to put down and exchange graphs. Like HTML, RDF/XML is machine processable and, using URIs, can link pieces of information. But, unlike conventional hypertext, RDF URIs can refer to any identifiable thing, including things that may not be directly retrievable on the Web (such as persons).
The following lines represent the graph in Figure 2 in RDF/XML:

<small>'''Figure 3 - example_rdf.rdf'''</small>
Let's examine the lines of code to get a better understanding of the syntax:
*{1} XML declaration, identifies the document as XML in the current version 1.0
*{2} Start of an rdf:RDF element, identifies the following code as RDF - also declares an XML namespace ''rdf'', all tags starting with the prefix rdf: are part of the namespace identified by the URIref ''<nowiki>http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#</nowiki>'' which describe the RDF vocabulary
*{3} declares an XML namespace ''dc'', all tags starting with the prefix dc: are part of the namespace identified by the URIref ''<nowiki>http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/</nowiki>'' - the ''link'' defines a standard vocabulary of terms for metadata
*{4} declares an XML namespace ''property'', all tags starting with the prefix property: are part of the namespace identified by the URIref ''<nowiki>http://www.example.org/properties/</nowiki>'' - this URI is fictitious and was chosen to indicate that one can create their own vocaburaly to describe resources
*{5 to 7} represents a specific statement about the resource ''<nowiki>http://www.example.org/index.html</nowiki>'' as seen in the examples - Line 5 declares the subject of the description - Line 6 provides a property element, the qualified name ''property'' is an abbreviation that represents the assigned namespace (line 4), property:author stands for ''<nowiki>http://www.example.org/properties/author</nowiki>'' - embedded in the property tag is the value(object) of the description as a plain literal
*{8 to 10} shows another statement - Line 8 again provides the subject - dc:language specifies the predicate for the statement, ''<nowiki>http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/language</nowiki>'' - the literal 'en' is an international standard two-letter code for English
*{11 to 13} shows yet another statement - Line 10 to identify the subject - dc:title specifies the predicate for the statement, ''<nowiki>http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/title</nowiki>'' - the value Example_Title is the object
*{14} ends the rdf:RDF element
Section 3 has covererd the basic structure of RDF and is intended to provide a fundamental understanding of the topic. The next section will cover some advanced structures and features of RDF.
==Advanced Concepts==
'''Structured Property Values and Blank Nodes'''
As mentioned earlier the object of a statement can be a literal, a blank node or a URI reference. The latter two give RDF more power because they allow to create complex structures, so called '''structured property values'''. For instance you consider describing the address of somebody. An address is a structure that consists of different values such as a street, a city, a state and a zipcode. In RDF one would identify the adress as a resource to allow a more detailed description.
[[Image:rdf-graph2.png|structured RDF graph]]
<small>'''Figure 4 - structured RDF graph'''</small>
As you can see the value of the property ''creator'' is represented by a reference using the URI ''<nowiki>http://www.example.org/members/1234</nowiki>''. RDF statements (additional arcs and nodes) can then be written with that node as the subject, to represent the additional information like the name of the creator and his address. The property ''adress'' itself is represented by a URI, which allows a detailed description that is aggregated from further statements about the address.
However the URIref ''<nowiki>http://www.example.org/address/1234</nowiki>'' may never need to be referred to directly from outside a particular graph, and therefore may not require a specific identifier. The concept above could also be represented by using a '''blank node''' for the address object. Blank nodes were called anonymous resources, they have no URIrefs and no literals.
[[Image:rdf-graph3.png|structured RDF graph with a blank node]]
<small>'''Figure 5 - structured RDF graph using a blank node'''</small>
In RDF/XML the concept of structured property values and blank nodes are represented like this:

</rdf:RDF>
</syntaxhighlight>
</td></tr>
</table>
<small>'''Figure 6 - structured_rdf.xml'''</small>
Let's examine the lines of code that represent the new concepts:
*{5 to 12} describes the resource ''<nowiki>http://www.example.org/index.html</nowiki>'' that has the value ''<nowiki>http://www.example.org/members/1234</nowiki>''
*{7 to 10} displays a way to abbreviate multiple property elements for a resource - usually a node has multiple arcs(properties) coming off and instead of writing one description for each property one can abbreviate this by using multiple child property elements inside the node element describing the subject node
*{9} shows how one can identify a blank node in RDF/XML - it is sometimes necessary that the same blank node in a graph is referred to in the RDF/XML in multiple places - if so, a blank node identifier can be given to the blank node for identifying it in the document
*{13-17} displays the properties and values for the blank node identified in line {9}
==RDF applications==
===Dublin Core Metadata Initiative===
''The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative ([http://dublincore.org DCMI]) is an organization dedicated to promoting the widespread adoption of interoperable metadata standards and developing specialized metadata vocabularies for describing resources that enable more intelligent information discovery systems.'' <br>
The Dublin Core is a set of elements that are used to describe a document. The goal of the Dublin Core is to provide a minimal set of descriptive elements that support and simplify the description and the automated indexing of document-like networked objects. Discovery tools on the Internet, such as the "Webcrawlers" employed by popular World Wide Web search engines use the metadata set. In addition, the Dublin Core is meant to be sufficiently simple to be understood and used by the wide range of authors and casual publishers who contribute information to the Internet. (also see [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2413.txt RFC-2413])
[http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/ Dublin Core Metadata Element Set] shows a description of all current elements defined in the Dublin Core. In the following example one can see an RDF document that uses the Dublin Core elements to describe an article in a magazine:

===Adobe's XMP===
The Extensible Metadata Platform is a specification describing RDF-based data and storage models for metadata about documents in any format. XMP can be included in text files such as HTML or SVG, image formats such as JPEG or GIF and Adobe's own formats like Photoshop or Acrobat. Adobe is making efforts that all of their applications will support XMP. However Adobe claims that ''XMP provides a standard format for the creation, processing and interchange of metadata'', the specification is not a standard.
'''XMP provides the following:'''
*A data model - as a useful and flexible way of describing metadata in documents.
*A storage model - for the implementation of the data model. This includes the serialization of the metadata as a stream of XML and XMP Packets, a means of packaging the data in files.
*Schemas - predefined sets of metadata property definitions that are relevant for a wide range of applications, including all of Adobe’s editing and publishing products, as well as for applications from a wide variety of vendors. XMP also provides guidelines for the extension and addition of schemas.
However XMP metadata vocubularly is relatively small,i.e. the ways to describe a document are limited. To overcome this issue Adobe is using metadata standards such as the Dublin Core and also allows users to define their own metadata vocaburlarly.
<br>
The following screenshot is from Acrobat Professional 6.0 ''Document Metadata'' feature. The description field allows users to define metadata, whereas the advanced tab shows an overview of the metadata. Under view ''Source'' one can see the metadata in RDF/XML.
[[Image:Adobe_xmp_functionality.png|500px|Abobe XMP example]]<br>
<small>'''Figure 8 - Adobe XMP example'''</small>
The RDF/XML based representation of the document's metadata can be found [http://mitglied.lycos.de/virtuoso5/xmp/xmp.txt here]. The property funFactor expresses the hilariousness of a document. It was included using the 'load' functionality of Acrobat Professional to test the addition of arbitrary metadata to the properties Acrobat Professional already knew about.
===RSS - RDF Site Summary===
RDF Site Summary (RSS) is also an application of RDF. Please have a look at the Chapter on [[RSS | RSS]] in this Wikibook.
==Creating an RDF Vocabulary==
As seen earlier in the chapter one can create its own RDF metadata vocabulary, despite using standards like the Dublin Core. This section is intended to show a very general approach in creating such a personal vocabulary. For a detailed description please see ''Practical RDF - Powers 2003''.
The first step in creating a vocabulary is to define the domain elements and their properties within the given area interest. This means one has to outline what kind of information about the resource should be described. Let's say we want to save the following facts about a resource:
<table width="50%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr><td>'''Property'''</td><td>'''Description'''</td></tr>
<tr><td>Title</td><td>Title of the resource</td></tr>
<tr><td>Created</td><td>Date of creation</td></tr>
<tr><td>Author</td><td>Author of the resource</td></tr>
<tr><td>Status</td><td>Current status of the resource</td></tr>
<tr><td>Subject</td><td>Subject/topic of the resource</td></tr>
<tr><td>Format</td><td>Format of the resource</td></tr>
<tr><td>FunFactor</td><td>FunFactor of the resource</td></tr>
</table>
<br>
The next step is to create a RDF Schema(RDFS) document for the new vocabulary:
[http://mitglied.lycos.de/virtuoso5/elements/1.0/myschema Here] you can see the definition for our desired properties. Using this RDFS one can describe the article seen above the following way:<br>
<table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

==Exercises==
# Create an RDF/XML document that describes an article of your choice (e.g. from magazines like CIO.com or ZDNet.com). Use the Dublin Core [http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/ element set] and the Dublin Core [http://purl.org/dc/terms/ terms]as a framework for your description. After completing the document please validate your work with the <br> [http://www.w3.org/RDF/Validator/ W3C RDF Validator].

The soft form is called ''palatalization'' where the tongue is moved from its original position. Consider the difference in pronunciation of ''key'' and ''cool''. In ''key'' the /k/ (preceded by closed front vowel, the tongue moves up and forward) is palatalized and in ''cool'' the /k/ (labialized, and oral cavity is increased by this) is not. Same thing with ''tea'' and ''tool''. When we talk about soft or mild consonants we are talking about palatalization. Palatized consonants are called soft in Ukrainian.
A pair of identical consonants pronounced not as a simple consonant and not as two separate sounds, but as geminated consonant.

'''Ь''' is not pronounced, it is called '''м’який знак''' (soft sign) or '''знак м’якшeння''' (sign of softening) and is used to make preceding consonant palatized. For example, in ''замість'' (instead of) the ''т'' is softened. In fact, the ''м'' is also softened by the ''і'' and the ''с'' is also softened by being in front of the soft ''т''
Keep in mind that there is no complex vowel that corresponds to '''О'''. Instead, '''Й''' and '''Ь''' are used together with '''О''' letter: ''його'', ''льодом''.
Also the apostrophe sign is used after a consonant and before a complex vowel to prevent the consonant from becoming mild. The complex vowel is therefore pronounced like ''й'' and corresponding simple vowel. For example, ''в'язати'' (to tie up) is pronounced like ''вйазати''.
* Some cases of discrepancies between spelling and pronunciation:
** unvoiced consonant + voiced consonant = voiced pair (''боротьба'' is pronounced like ''бородьба''); but voiced consonant + unvoiced consonant or unvoiced consonant + approximate consonant do not change, except:
*** '''З''' + unvoiced consonant = '''С''' (''розпис'' is pronounced like ''роспис'');
*** '''Г''' + '''К''' or '''Т''' = '''Х''' (''нігті'' is pronounced like ''ніхті'');
** a pair of sibilants converges (''зшити'' is pronounced like ''шшити''; ''стежці'' → ''стезці''; ''дочці'' → ''доцці'').
==Try to Pronounce==
Here are some Ukrainian words. Try to pronounce them keeping in mind the bolded vowels are stressed:
* Рак (''rak''; crayfish) - Pronounce "rruk", not "rzake".
* Юрб'''а''' (''yurba''; crowd)
* '''Ї'''жа (''yizha''; food)
* Р'''а'''нок (''ranok''; morning)
* Кол'''и'''-н'''е'''будь ('''koly-nebud''' ; somewhen)
* Ядр'''о''' (''yadro''; kernel)
* Слов'''a''' (''slova''; words)
* Ґедзь (''ged'z'''; gadfly) - "Ґ" is pronounced like "g" in "get". In this word "дз" is palatalized. Touch your tongue to the palate and say "z".
* Прох'''а'''ння (''prokhannya''; request, wish) - Long and soft "ннь" [-ɲːɑ].
* Б'''у'''ти (buty; to be) - Do not pronounce it "beauty" and "и" doesn't sound like [i], slide back a bit.
Ukrainian is written as pronounced just like the other Slavs, but, like Russian and Bulgarian, the stress is very unpredictable and stressing the wrong syllable can lead to misunderstandings. Virtually every textbook and dictionary will write these words with an acute accent (ˊ) on the stressed syllable: юрба́, кість, ра́нок, коли́-небудь, ядро́, слі́дувати, ґедзь, бу́ти. Watch out for words that are written the same, but stressed in a different syllable, such as з'''а'''мок (castle) — зам'''о'''к (lock).{{BookCat}}

==Production value==
{{expand|section}}
===Attribution===
====Credits====
Videos often include credits at the start or end of content. This type of attribution ensures that viewers are aware of a video's contributors. Credits may also be transcribed for the visually impaired.
=====Design=====
Sometimes, the delivery of credits may be sufficiently artistic or dramatic in such a way that contributes to the viewer's overall experience.
======Text======
[[File:Little Red Walking Hood title card.png|thumb|300px|Leading contributors can be featured alongside a video's title]]
Text may be presented with a variety of methods and can be opaque, transparent, or even artistic.
;Single-frame method
In some cases, all contributors can be credited in a single still frame near the beginning or end of a video. This method is simple but impractical for videos with a large number of contributors.
;Marquee method
The marquee method consists of one or more streams of scrolling text, typically oriented vertically or horizontally. For aesthetic purposes or to create a focal point, text is sometimes faded with a gradient. This method is commonplace in many videos.
;Serial method
The serial method describes text where contributors are credited individually. This method can sometimes be manipulated for effect when carefully synchronized with audio that is complementary or suspenseful.
Text can also be integrated into the scene, such as be made to appear to be written on a wall.
======Backgrounds======
;Static
Static backgrounds, a common example being solid black, are simple and can provide high contrast for viewers.
;Hybrid
When possible, a static background can be framed in graphics, animations, or video.
;Uninterrupted content
In many cases, credits can overlay uninterrupted video without any issue. This may be desirable or undesirable depending on the video and intended audience.
;Tailored scenes
Production value can often be greatly enhanced by the integration of video that is purposefully tailored for displaying credits. For example, if introductory credits are desired and a video's first scene portrays political proceedings, text could overlay video of the legislative building followed by a person walking up its steps to the doors.
======Placement======
Credit placement can play an important role in its accessibility, the ability to provide context, and even a video's overall production value. Typically, credits are placed near the beginning and/or end of a video, but they can also be interspersed. In some cases, the visibility of credits—especially those at the end of a video—may be diminished by a broadcaster's proclivities, such as the use of picture-in-picture to introduce subsequent programs or sometimes even outright omission.
;Opening credits
Credits can be placed at the beginning of a video. Often, this is done to highlight leading contributors while other contributors are listed in closing credits.
;Closing credits
Credits can be placed at the end of a video. This placement is often used for comprehensive attribution.
;Realtime attribution
The realtime model is often preferred in cases where communicating context to the viewer in real-time is a top priority. This method is frequently accompanied by one or more others and is typical of journalistic productions.
Some videos also use attribution as a humorous [[w:Gimmick|gimmick]] or to suggest irony.
======Styles======
;Staging method
The staging method entails a series of static frames, each crediting a given number of contributor. When used as part of an introductory phase, this method allows for leading contributors to be featured and can also be used to incorporate visual elements that affect the viewer's perception of succeeding content. For example, these visual elements might include key characters, allusive symbols, enthralling objects, or immersive scenes with each new interval of progression.
;Interspersed method
The interspersed method employs gradual crediting of contributors in phases spanning a prolonged introductory period or sometimes even an entire video. This method may be used for effect, such as to tantalize or surprise, or to add artistic value. Contributors may be credited along with the introduction of a relevant character, scene, theme, or plot. In many cases, this method is best combined with one or more others.
====Metadata====
Metadata can facilitate the attribution of contributors in some digital formats.
=====MP4=====
MPEG-4 supports the ISO-standardized [[w:Extensible Metadata Platform|Extensible Metadata Platform]] in addition to its own metadata format.
====Resources====
===Intermission===
[[File:Content intermission.svg|thumb|right|300px|An intermission screen]]
Intermission is sometimes desired, or even in the case of videos produced live, a necessity.
===Length===
Video length is often an important consideration.
====Palatability====
{{expand|section}}
====Limitations====
Some distribution platforms platforms are designed to accommodate videos of a specific length. For instance, a television station may have program blocks of 15 and 30 minutes, while an online hosting provider may allow for hours or even seconds, in the case of a Vine.
Limitations may become a cross-consideration in the event that a video has enough potential to be desired in its original form on an alternate format, which is something to evaluate in certain circumstances.
===Live broadcasts and streams===
[[File:Content introduction.svg|thumb|right|300px|Introductory screens inform viewers that content will begin soon]]
Productions that utilize live video present unique considerations.
=== Transcription ===
Subtitles and transcripts are different: a transcript is only the text of the video, whereas a subtitle file includes the timecode as well. Subtitle files have a variety of formats (.srt, .sub, etc.), but they are compatible with each other.
====Subtitles====
It is very important for independent video producers to make available subtitle files (or at least transcripts) when they are distributing their work. Furthermore, it is highly beneficial for online video distribution projects to include an option to upload subtitles/transcripts with the video files, even as a way to raise awareness on the issue. Without a subtitle file in the original language, it is much much more difficult to translate a video, which highly limits the possibility of its distribution.
=====Preparation=====
=====Formatting=====
=====Translation=====
======Workflow======
This is a suggested workflow that would make translation of your video or DVD much easier. It avoids the problem caused by networking transcriptions of video features without the time code, which is that each transcript then has to be timecoded for each language. With co-ordination we should be able to avoid this. There is a project and sample workflow for subtitling [http://www.network23.org.uk/node/79 here]. This also includes a suggested [[/Workflow for translators helping video collectives with subtitle translations]]. Work that needs to be done: building a network of translators familiar with the use of subtitling software that can read, edit and create *.srt subtitle files.
====Resources====
This section includes transcription, subtitling, and translation tools.

====Physical====

If a video is released under a permissive license, such as the [[w:Creative Commons license|Creative Commons attribution license]] (CC-BY), others can exhibit and redistribute the video without difficulty.
====Public Domain====
{{expand|section}}
===Encoding===
{{Main|Video Production/Encoding}}
Because raw video files are tremendously large by contemporary standards—an uncompressed half-hour 1920x1080 8-bit video at 30 frames per second will exceed 300 GB, for example—it is generally necessary to make use of a process known as encoding. The same 300GB video, when encoded with a common codec, will be reduced to about 20 GB.
There are a few popular ways of encoding video using commercial solutions and many free options exist as well.
====Codecs====
Codecs are software algorithms that compress data into a desired container format.
Many codecs exist and in order to select the one most suitable, several factors may need to be considered, including availability, video quality, compression efficiency, compatibility with the intended method of distribution, and licensing.

====Introduction to using Open Source Tools for Video Production and distribution====
Different Software is used for the many stages of the Video production process. Depending on what platform you use there are various different levels of effectiveness and ease of use of the open source solutions.
This is a section of notes on interpretations of the scope and ease of use of different Free and Proprietary software.
[[/Mick Fuzz's notes on Windows & Mac platforms and Free Software solutions/]]
==== Working out what kind of Video File you have ====
If you are uploading a video file and you often need to know what type/ codec it is to allow people to be able to make the correct choice to download it.
====How to Make a Video podcast====
What is a podcast?
Why create one?
Video podcasts are a good way to distribute your Video. They can be seen in programs like iTunes, Democracy player and Fireant. If you get the format of you video file right they can also be downloaded onto portable devices. They can also be featured on other people's websites often as a list at the side of their pages. This is called syndication.
What do you need to do to make one?
Get you audio or video ready for the Internet.
(see encoding notes)
Essentially you have to make specialised a text file available on your website. This file is written in a simple Markup language which gives details about your video. It part of it might look a bit like this.
<tag></tag>
You can if you choose hand code this file, but there are automated ways which make it a bit easier. This next section examines the different solutions.
=====Using Blogger and Feed burner and Archive.org=====
Once you have created your audio / video files, you can use these 3 free tools to create podcasts.
======Step one: put your media up online with archive.org / ftp to a webspace======
To do this you first need to sign up to be an archive.org member. Go to the front page, click join us, and follow the instructions.
With this tool you can upload your music / video file to the archive.org site, and choose a copyright licence to go with it. You will then get a page where the link to your file is displayed.
Or if you have some webspace that you can upload your files to. Use an FTP client to do this.
======blogger.com======
You can create a blog quickly and easily at blogger.com - A blog is a simple web page which is diary like in format listing the latest posting first (just like a podcast does).
In the settings panel of blogger.com you can adjust the formatting tab so that you can include a link with every post. In the link field we need to paste a link to the uploaded media file on archive.org.
======feedburner.com======
blogger.com creates an RSS feed for all your entries, but it is not a Podcast. You can't use a program like iTunes with it yet. We need to use a service called feedburner to change the feed into a Podcast.
To do this we need to click an option on the feedburner settings called smartcast.
=====Using a Video Content Management system=====
======Ourvideo CMS - (not a big community of developers)======
Ourvideo CMS is a Media content management system running on MySql and php. It is aimed at community and low budget groups and can help them achieve their aims at a lower cost in the following ways. There are minimal changes to the standard server environment to help groups that don't have access to a high level server administration resources.
======Loud Blog website======
Loudblog is a flexible and easy-to-use Content Management System (CMS) for publishing media content on the web. It automatically generates a website and multimedia distribution via Podcasting.
Loudblog needs to be installed on a webserver and requires systems administrator level skills for install and setup. It will allow you to host your own website with integrated audio and video distribution support.
You can upload your audio/video via ftp, via web forms, by fetching external links - thus hosting them on your server, or linking to external files.
It is designed for audio, and creates a flash audio preview. This is also possible with some video files. So the web presentation of your media is pretty good. It takes the form of a blog.
It creates a podcast with iTunes categories.
Disadvantages:
* This is set up for audio files, so while the podcasts do work for video files, you get unsuitable messages on the wen pages, like "listen now"
* The RSS podcast doesn't have images associated with it yet. It has no "media:thumbnail" element in the feed.
======Word Press CMS======
The wordpress content management system has a very simple approach to podcasting.
How It Works
* Create audio or video that you want to share (usually MP3 or MP4)
* Upload the file to a server
* Link to the file in a post in your weblog
* Wordpress automatically Includes a link to the file in your RSS/Atom feed
* Listeners "subscribe" with podcast client application to your RSS/Atom feed and download new files automatically.
WordPress creates all the necessary links for you!
Disadvantages:
Archive.org can be used to host podcast audio files but archive.org uses re-directs on the file paths it publishes - this confuses WordPress, and consequently, the Podcast publication fails (missing enclosure tag error).
To avoid this error, if you are hosting your audio files on archive.org, you need to add a Custom Field called "enclosure" and paste the full URL for the mp3 file in the Value field.
=====Rss editor for Windows=====
If you don't want to enter details in to a Content Management system, or don't have the technology to set one up. Then there is an alternative. If you have ftp access to your website. You can enter the details of each podcast item into a program called rss editor and it will alter and upload the RSS file you need to have a podcast.
Tutorial >> [[/Rss editor for win/]]
=====Notes on Media RSS / Podcasting specifications=====
Unfortunately the Media RSS specification used by Democracy player and Yahoo isn't the same as the Podcasting specification used by iTunes. The solution is to avoid things that will make your feed unreadable in either.
==Distribution==
For issues that are not covered in the corporate media, using a network of community screenings, independent cinemas and pirate TV is a good way to get your media, such as a film or documentary, out there.

=====Tactical use of the Internet to distribute Video=====
Here is a proposed model of how groups could work together to create and distribute content via the Internet
[[/Convergence and collaboration model/]]
This includes recent reflection and thoughts on the European Newsreal Project.
Here is a work in progress for how to distribute a video file as widely as possible
[[/Wide distribution/]]
* Collaborative projects to create Video content using the Internet
Asia 247: Online contributions are picked up by an editorial team who collate the material and contextualise it for daily podcast transmission. They are active in training video producers from across Asia in using this technology.
The European newsreal is a half hour magazine whose production and distribution is decided in a decentralised way with the use of email lists and online collaborative tools like wikis.
=====Appropriate Use of Video released over the Internet=====
[[/Appropriate use/]]
Some thoughts on specifying the appropriate/ethical uses of online video.
=====Content Management Systems and related tools for Video on the Net=====
Plone is one system that can be used, Engage Media are working with other plone developers on multimedia aspects of this set of tools.
Drupal is another popular content management system (CMS) that can be used to manage your video online.
Some work has been done on aggregation sites which really maximises the capacity of Drupal to import and manage RSS or RDF data.
One example of this is the V2V site which outputs data in RDF form which can then be imported into a CMS.
===Television===
====Terrestrial Broadcast====
{{expand|section}}
=====Pirate TV=====

====Cable====

====Satellite====
=====United States=====
======Free Speech TV (FSTV)======
It is possible to submit Social Justice video content to Free Speech TV which covers every state in the US. One very successful use of FSTV is Deep Dish TV, a New York based part of the network which collates the work of Independent Video producers and grass roots activists and puts together professional shows which are uplinked to FSTV. They are also recorded locally and retransmitted by over 200 local TV stations and cinema/community screeners. In this way the costs and time of copying and networking physical tapes and disks are reduced.
FSTV also accept content from outside the USA, for example programmes from UK based Undercurrents Productions and the European Newsreal.
=====Europe=====
In Europe it is possible to rent the time of satellites without paying for them all the time. This may be useful to network programmes for retransmission to local TV stations and collectives.
===Physical media===
Optical media, such as DVDs and Blu-ray discs, is commonly used in much of the world to physically distribute content. USB drives can also be used.

== 3. Bb5 · Ruy López or Spanish game ==
'''3. Bb5''' is known as the Ruy López opening or Spanish game. White threatens to trade off Black's c6 knight, the defender of e5, so indirectly threatens to win the pawn, though it's not an ''immediate'' threat because of a tactical trick where Black can win the pawn back.
White is playing for quick development (they are ready to castle already) and control of the centre. They'd like to eventually play c3 and d4 to build a pawn majority in the centre.
Usually, Black wishes to play ...Nf6, which develops a piece while threatening to take White's undefended e4 pawn, so the most common lines are to develop the knight straight away ([[/3...Nf6|'''3...Nf6''']]) or after first kicking the bishop ([[/3...a6/|'''3...a6''']] usually followed by 4...Nf6). However, Black has a wide range of turn three or turn four sidelines to choose from so can respond in a variety of ways.
=== Morphy defence ===
[[/3...a6/|'''3...a6''']], the '''Morphy defence''', forces White to make a decision about the bishop: retreat, or exchange. The oldest continuation is to take the knight, 4. Bxc6, the Exchange variation. This doesn't win the e5 pawn, however (4...dxc6 5. Nxe5? Qd4! and Black can win the pawn back). The Exchange variation is playable, but more popular is 4. Ba4, preserving the bishop pair and pressure on Black's knight.
After 4. Ba4, the main line is 4...Nf6, as in the Berlin. However, by including 3...a6 4. Ba4, Black now has the option of cutting off the bishop's pressure whenever they wish with ...b5.
=== Berlin defence ===
[[/3...Nf6|'''3...Nf6''']], the '''Berlin defence''', is the main sideline. Recognising there is no immediate threat to their pawn centre, Black develops and threatens ...Nxe4 instead. The Berlin has a reputation for being solid but very drawish. The opening often leads into a quick exchange of queens and equal endgame (the Berlin Endgame) or a fast draw by repetition.

{{Chess/board|moves=1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nf6|caption=Berlin defence}}
</div>
=== Principal sidelines ===
Many other moves are available, some neglecting completely the protection of the knight and the pawn and continuing development.
The two next most commons sidelines in master-level play are 3...f5!? and 3...g6.
* [[/3...f5|'''3...f5!?''']], the '''Schliemann''' or '''Jaenisch gambit''', is a sharp line where Black attacks White's centre from the flank. Accepting with 4. exf5 allows 4...e4. The usual response is 4. d3, which renews the threat of 5. exf5 because the pawn on d3 prevents 5...e4.
* [[/3...g6|'''3...g6''']], the '''fianchetto''' or '''Smyslov defence''', prepares a king-side fianchetto, although often Black delays actually playing Bg7 until they have played d6.
<div style="display:flex;overflow-x:auto;gap:0.5em;">
{{Chess/board|moves=1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 f5|caption=Schliemann defence}}
{{Chess/board|moves=1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 g6|caption=Fianchetto defence}}
</div>
In amateur games, more common sidelines are 3...Bc5 and 3...d6.
* [[/3...Bc5|'''3...Bc5''']] is the '''Classical variation'''. Since there is no danger to e5 yet, Black simply develops the bishop to pressure White's kingside and the vulnerable f2 square. This is one of the oldest defences.
* [[/3...d6|'''3...d6''']], the '''Old Steinitz defence''', was the continuation recommended by [[Wikipedia:William Steinitz|William Steinitz]]. Playing 3...a6 and later b5, he reasoned, just allows White's bishop to get to where it would like to go: to man the dangerous b3-to-f7 diagonal. Steinitz advocated 3...d6 instead to defend the e5 pawn directly. However, this is passive, inhibiting Black dark square bishop, and Black self-pins their knight: White's most critical reply is 4. d4. A "Modern" Steinitz defence delays d6 until after 3...a6.

{{Chess/board|moves=1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 d6|caption=Old Steinitz defence}}
</div>
=== Minor sidelines ===
Other lines have been tried. These include, in rough order of legitimacy:
* [[/3...Nge7|'''3...Nge7''']], '''Cozio defence''', defending the knight with the other knight.
* [[/3...Be7|'''3...Be7''']], the '''Lucena variation''', likely to transpose to the main line closed variation after 4. O-O a6 5. Ba4 Nf6.
* [[/3...Nd4|'''3...Nd4!?''']], '''Bird's defence'''. Black counterattacks the bishop: after 4. Nxd4 exd4 Black has gained some space but has slightly worsened their pawn structure.
* [[/3...Nb4|'''3...Nb4?!''']] is a rare trap tried once by '''Marshall''' where 4. Nxe5? is met with 4...Qg5!.
* [[/3...f6|'''3...f6?!''']], the '''Nürnberg variation''', defending e5 but at the cost of severely weakening Black's kingside.
* [[/3...Bb4|'''3...Bb4?!''']], the '''Alapin defence'''.
* [[/3...Qf6|'''3...Qf6?!''']], the '''Frankfurt defence'''.
* [[/3...d5|'''3...d5?''']], the '''Spanish countergambit'''. Black hopes to bamboozle White by offering them a choice of centre pawns to capture.
* '''3...a5?!''', the '''Bulgarian variation''', looks like a mis-click. Perhaps the idea is 4. O-O Nd4 5. Nxd4 exd4 where a careless 6. d3? c6 7. Bc4 b5 traps White's bishop.
* '''3...b6?!''', the '''Rotary-Albany gambit'''.
* [[/3...Qe7|'''3...Qe7?''']], the '''Vinogradov variation''', defends the e-pawn with the queen. However, on e7 the queen blocks development of Black's king side bishop and runs into a dangerous x-ray after 4. O-O Nf6 5. Re1. It may be played with the idea 4...Nd8 and 5...c6.
* [[/3...Nb8|'''3...Nb8?''']], the humorous '''retreat variation'''.
* [[/3...g5|'''3...g5?''']], the '''Brentano Gambit'''.
* [[/3...Na5|'''3...Na5?''']], the '''Pollock variation''', sidestepping the bishop's vision.

=== History ===
The earliest known analysis of this opening is from the 15th century [[wikipedia:Göttingen manuscript|Göttingen manuscript]]. The 16th century Spanish priest [[wikipedia:Ruy López de Segura|Ruy López de Segura]] analysed the opening in his 1561 book on chess, from which both the modern names Spanish opening and Ruy López derive. Ruy López de Segura considered the danger posed to Black by 3. Bb5 to be so severe that it refuted [[../|2...Nc6]], and recommended [[../../2...d6|2...d6]] to Black instead.
In the 18th century, the "Modenese masters" [[wikipedia:Ercole del Rio|Ercole del Rio]] and [[wikipedia:Domenico Lorenzo Ponziani|Domenico Lorenzo Ponziani]] analysed the exchange variation of the opening (3...a6 4. Bxc6) and concluded that the bishop was better placed on the c4-to-f7 diagonal (i.e. [[../3. Bc4|3. Bc4, the Italian game]]).<ref name="Jaenisch" />
In the mid-19th century, [[wikipedia:Carl Jaenisch|Carl Jaenisch]] published detailed analysis of 1. e4 e5 in French and English circulars. Writing "this opening has been strangely overlooked and passed by, we may say in contempt, by all writers", Jaenisch's treatment of 3. Bb5 reinvigorated interest in what he called "Lopez's Knight's Game". Jaenisch was dismissive of the defences [[/3...Nge7|3...Nge7]] (Cozio defence) and [[/3...Nd4|3...Nd4]] (what we now call Bird's defence), and especially critical of del Rio and Ponziani's analysis (which he called "very defective"). Jaenisch's treatment of 3...a6 reads as very modern:<ref name="Jaenisch">{{Cite magazine |first=Carl |last=Jaenisch |date=1848 |title=Major Jaenisch On Ruy Lopez' Knight's Game |magazine=Chess Player's Chronicle |volume=9 |pages=216-21,248-53,274-79 |url=https://www.google.ch/books/edition/The_chess_player_s_chronicle/ja5AAAAAcAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PA216 |access-date=9 June 2025}}</ref>
<blockquote>White's correct move is simply to withdraw the attacked Bishop to [a4], preserving its menacing direction. This shows that the move, [3...a6], is absolutely useless, for if Black follow it up with [4...b5], White's Bishop is brought into a good line of attack on [b3]... We may remark in general, that the object of [3. Bb5] is not to double a Pawn for Black by taking his [Knight], but to confine the development of his right wing as long as possible; and it is precisely in order not to allow him to escape from the confinement that the Bishop, if attacked by [a6], either at the third or any subsequent move, must not take the [Knight] but retire to [a4].</blockquote>
This was the beginning of the modern Spanish main line.
In 1918, [[w:Frank Marshall|Frank Marshall]] introduced an aggressive turn 8 gambit that reinvigorated Black's attacking chances in the closed Spanish.
The next major shake up occurred in the 1960s when new theory in the Marshall gambit drove White players to adopt anti-Marshall systems to avoid it.
In 2000, the main alternative to 3...a6, 3...Nf6, was re-popularised when [[wikipedia:Vladimir Kramnik|Vladimir Kramnik]] used it as a drawing weapon against [[wikipedia:Garry Kasparov|Garry Kasparov]] during his successful World Championship challenge.
Nowadays the Spanish opening is known as one of the most deeply studied and popular chess openings, and one of the most frequently seen at the highest levels of chess. It is the continuation of the Open Game most commonly seen in master-level play, adopted by virtually all players at some point in their chess career.

== Parham Attack · 2. Qh5!? ==
This is an aggressive opening move that violates an opening principle by bringing the queen out early. So long as Black doesn't fall into White's traps, they will be able to develop easily and play useful moves that gain time on White's queen.
2. Qh5 both attacks the pawn on e5 and puts pressure on f7. The f7 square is the weakest point in Black's position at the start of the game, because it is the only square guarded only by Black's king. White's usual plan is to follow with Bc4 and deal a swift, knock-out blow with Qxf7#, e.g. 2...Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6?? 4. Qxf7#. This is called '''Scholar's mate''' or the '''four-move checkmate'''.
=== Defend e5 ===
As f7 is attacked once (by White's queen) and defended once (by Black's king), there is no immediate threat of Qxf7+. However, there is a threat of Qxe5+.
[[/2...Nc6|'''2...Nc6''']] is the best move. Black defends against Qxe5+, while also getting to develop a piece to its most active square.
The game usually continues 3. Bc4 (bringing a second attacker to f7, so now White really is threatening Qxf7#) g6 (cuts off White's queen's vision of f7, and gains time by forcing the queen to move again) 4. Qf3 (threatens Qxf7# again) Nf6 (blocks White's queen's vision of f7). The immediate threats parried, Black is ready to play ...Bg7 and ...O-O.
Other options to defend e5 are playable but come with trade-offs.
* '''2...d6''' defends e5, but neglects the opportunity to develop a piece. It also means that if Black wants to play ...d5 later, they will have lost a tempo by taking two moves to play d5 instead of one (d7 to d6 to d5 versus d7 to d5).
* '''2...Qf6''' defends both e5 and f7, but violating opening principles yourself is no way to punish your opponent's violations of the same. The queen misplaced on f6 prevents Black's knight from coming there, which it should like to do. If the idea is to trade off queens to end the attack (3. Bc4 g6 4. Qf3 Qxf3 5. Nxf3{{chess/not|+}}), Black is giving White's attack too much credit.
* '''2...Qe7''', looks unnatural but is probably fine.
=== Gambit e5 ===
Black may try [[/2...Nf6|'''2...Nf6''']], called the '''Kiddie countergambit'''. Black attacks the queen, forcing it to move, but leaves their e-pawn undefended.
This is a pawn sacrifice: Black allows White to take the free pawn and instead focuses on developing their pieces. Every time Black gets to play a developing move and White has to move their queen again, Black scores a little victory in the form of tempo. After 3. Qxe5+ Be7 4. Nf3 (say) Nc6 (forces queen to move again) 5. Qf4 O-O{{chess/not}} Black has castled and developed three of their minor pieces as compensation for the lost pawn, and White has largely spent the time moving the same piece around.
=== Bad moves ===
[[/2...g6|'''2...g6??''']] is a rookie error. Black attacks the queen and leaves their e-pawn undefended, but moving the g-pawn exposed Black's rook on h8: 3. Qxe5+ Be7 (or 3...Qe7) 4. Qxh8{{Chess/not|+++}}.
[[/2...Ke7|'''2...Ke7??''']] is the worst move in the position, 3. Qxe5# is checkmate.
=== History ===
2. Qh5!? is a staple of amateur chess, played against beginners who may be expected to blunder under early pressure. It has a huge number of names, including '''patzer's opening''' (''patzer'', from German ''patzen''<ref>[https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/patzer patzer, Collins Dictionary]</ref>, being a poor chess player), which might mean it is only played ''against'' novices or ''by'' novices.
In fact it has seen use by grandmasters as a non-theoretical opening, played not with the expectation that Black will blunder mate in the opening but the understanding that, once Black has parried the first few threats, White still gets a playable position that is about equal. Among its highest-level outings was Magnus Carlsen at the 2018 World Rapid Championship.<ref>[https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1938193 Carlsen v. Vokhidov, 2018]</ref>

==About the Turkish language==
''See also: [[w:Turkish_language|Turkish language]]''
===History===
The earliest forms of the Turkish language were written in [[w:Orkhon_script|Orkhon script]].
During the Ottoman Empire, Ottoman Turkish was influenced mainly by [[Arabic]] and [[Persian]]. The primary writing system was based on Arabic and Persian script. Due to the difficulty of learning the script only about 10% of the Ottoman Turkish population were literate.
[[Image:Jali.png|center]]
[[Image:Ataturk-September_20,_1928.jpg|right|150px|thumb|Atatürk introducing the new Turkish alphabet to the Turkish public.]]
However, in 1928, modern Turkey's hero, [[w:Mustafa_Kemal_Ataturk|Mustafa Kemal Atatürk]], had changed many things about the Turkish language. He changed the writing system to a Turkish variant of the Latin alphabet (without the letters Q, W or X, and added the letters '''Ö''' and '''Ü''' from German, '''Ç''' from Albanian, '''Ş''' from Romanian; and also added the letters '''Ğ''', '''I''', and '''İ''' to represent certain sounds which weren't present in any other Latin-based languages at the time), and replaced many loanwords with older or constructed Turkish words. The change of the writing system heavily benefited Turkey's youth, and during the 1930s, the literacy rate shot up to 70%. Today, the overall literacy rate is approximately 87%, but the reason for the seemingly low literacy rate (for our time) has to do with personal family matters rather than any difficulty, even though it's compulsory for all Turks to go to school up to the age of 16, so technically their parents are both breaking the law and depriving their children of a wonderful gift: knowing how to read and write.
===Geographic distribution of Turkish===
[[Image:Map of Turkish Language.svg|left|200px|thumb|A map showing the countries where Turkish is an official language.]]
In terms of number of speakers, Turkish is one of the largest Turkic languages in the world, spoken by 88<ref>Kuribayashi, Yuu (2012). "Transitivity in Turkish: A study of valence orientation" (PDF). ''Asian and African Languages and Linguistics''. '''7''': 39–51.</ref> million people worldwide.
Turkish is the official language of [[w:Turkey|Turkey]] and the [[w:Turkish_Republic_of_Northern_Cyprus|Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus]], and is a recognized minority language in [[w:Kosovo|Kosovo]] and [[wikipedia:Republic of Macedonia|North Macedonia]]. It is also an official language in the Republic of Cyprus.
There are also two million Turcophones in Germany, due to its very large Turkish minority living there; a slightly smaller minority living in Bulgaria; and also over 100,000 living in France, the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Austria, the United States and Uzbekistan. There are also smaller Turkish-speaking minorities living elsewhere, most notably Greece, Russia, Canada and Azerbaijan*.
====Dialects====
=====Within Turkey=====
Standard Turkish is basically the Turkish spoken in Istanbul. It is spoken clearly and smoothly. Like all metropolitan languages, it includes many slang words and loan words.
[[Image:Tulumcu.jpg|right|thumb|A Laz man playing a Tulum, a Turkish instrument played mainly along the East Black Sea coast.]]
However, Turkey is a place full of surprises and diversity, and many dialects of Turkish exist. Here are the most common:
*''Rumelice'', which is spoken by muhajirs in the Rumelian area.
*''Edirne'', spoken by the inhabitants of Edirne*.
*''Doğu'', spoken in eastern Turkey, influenced by Azerbaijani.
*''Güneydoğu'', spoken in southeastern Turkey, heavily influenced by Kurdish.
*''Karadeniz'', the former spoken in northern Turkey in areas surrounding the Black Sea.*
=====Outside Turkey=====
*''Karamanlıca'' - spoken in Greece by [[w:Karamanlides|Karamanlides]], a Greek Orthodox, Turkish-speaking people whose ancestry goes back to central Anatolia.
*''Kıbrıs'' - a dialect of Turkish spoken by Turkish Cypriots.
So yes, there a variety of different dialects spoken by Turks, but don't let that put you off, because most Turks, regardless of whether they speak standard Turkish or a certain dialect, will understand standard Turkish, as it's the standard for all schools in Turkey and Northern Cyprus.
==Learning the language==
Many people whose native language is not Turkish complain that Turkish is very hard to learn. Turkish, being a Turkic language, has grammar and vocabulary that is very different from Indo-European languages. Learning Dutch for a Brit or learning Italian for a Romanian is much easier than them learning Turkish. On the other hand, there are similar languages to Turkish such as Mongolian or Kazakh.
=== Advantages of Turkish (for English) ===
*There is no pronunciation help needed next to a word, because every letter is pronounced the same in every word.
*:'''Turkish is a phonetic language.'''
*:Learning the alphabet is enough to pronounce the word correctly.
*:Once you hear a word, you'll know where to look in the dictionary.
*There are no dots dividing the word into its syllables or marks indicating a stressed syllable.
*:Spelling determines the syllable count and stress.
*:'''Turkish nouns have no gender and its verbs, except for "to be" are all regular.'''
*:Look at a noun and you'll know all its declensions.
*:Look at a verb and you'll know its tense, voice, etc.
*'''Turkish has no articles.'''
*You can hardly ever find exceptions in Turkish. Nearly all words obey strict rules.
=== Disadvantages of Turkish (for English) ===
*'''Unlike in English, all Turkish nouns are inflected for case'''
*'''Turkish verbs focus on aspect, modality, and evidentiality more than English'''.
===The benefits of learning Turkish===
Approximately 250 million people worldwide speak a Turkic language, Turkish being the most common. However, all Turkic languages have a very high degree of mutual intelligibility, therefore learning Turkish means you can speak to 100 million more people properly, and 150 million more roughly, but still understanding the basic gist of the conversation.
So, 250 million, that's a lot of people, huh? Doesn't that sound like good business and marketing opportunities to you? Trust me, Turkic countries aren't as impoverished as you think. The West's definition of poor is actually very exaggerated. Many, much poorer countries are still good places to do business. Take Africa, for example. At the moment African countries have the fastest growing mobile market in the world. When entrepreneurs hear news like this, they immediately appreciate Africa's potential to generate lots of revenue in the mobile phone industry. As for Turkey, it's richer and in better shape than most African countries, so financially you could do really well there. As a matter of fact, Turkey is a member of the G20, and is the 17th most industrialised country in the world. Turkey's GDP ranks 17th, and has one of the fastest GDP growth rates in the world. Turkey has a developed services sector; a large, rapidly growing tourism sector; as well as construction, electronics, textiles and automotive industries which are very important to Turkey's economy. So who says Turkey's economy is bad?
Turkey and Northern Cyprus are also political hotspots, with many things going on in the Turkish parliament and politics. If you ever have to deal with Turkish or Turkish Cypriot affairs, learning the language would be highly beneficial.
On a much less serious matter, Turkish is a very beautiful-sounding language. Turkey and Northern Cyprus are actually incredibly beautiful places themselves, and are definitely worth visiting, so knowing the local language would be very useful.
==Related languages==
There are many languages related to Turkish in the Turkic family. Of these, Wikibooks of the following languages are available.
*[[Azerbaijani]]
*[[Turkmen]]
*[[Uzbek]]
Azerbaijani and Turkmen in particular are very closely related to Turkish, about the same as the relation between Spanish and Portuguese.
==Notes about the Introduction==
*<small>All external links in this article link to the English Wikipedia site.</small>
*<small>Turks don't refer to southern Cyprus as ''Kıbrıs Cumhuriyeti'' (i.e. The Republic of Cyprus), because Turkey, and of course ''Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti'' (the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus), are two of the only places in the world which don't recognize it. Instead, they refer to Southern Cyprus as the ''Güney Kıbrıs Rum Yönetimi'' (the Greek Administration of Southern Cyprus).</small>
**<small>Turks, particularly Cypriot Turks, find it offensive when you refer to Southern Cyprus as ''The Republic of Cyprus'', because the definition of ''The Republic of Cyprus'' takes the entire island into account, including Northern Cyprus.</small>
**<small>Unlike most languages, when you say the word ''Kıbrıs'', Turks immediately assume you're talking about Northern Cyprus, so when trying to refer to Southern Cyprus, you must say ''Güney Kıbrıs'' (southern Cyprus).</small>
*<small>Quite a few of the new loanwords are now either seldom used or the old equivalents are used as much as the new ones.</small>
*<small>The Azerbaijani and Turkmen languages are members of the Oghuz, or southwestern subfamily of Turkic, and are therefore extremely similar to Turkish. For example, a Turkish speaker listening to an Azeri conversation, or vice-versa, could probably understand the basic gist of the conversation without having to learn the language of it. Azerbaijani is sometimes even considered as a Turkish dialect. Uzbek is a member of the Uyghuric subfamily of Turkic, and therefore much less close, though much of the grammar and vocabulary are similar.</small>
*<small>Edirne is the westernmost city in Turkey, and is close to the borders of Greece and Bulgaria. Because of this, the Edirne dialect is influenced by Greek and Bulgarian.{{citation needed}}</small>
*<small>Laz people have their own language called [[w:Laz_language|Laz language]], which is unrelated to Turkish, but related to [[Georgian]] and spoken mainly in Georgia and the Black Sea region of Turkey.</small>

== The Stack ==
[[Image:Data stack.svg|right]]
Generally speaking, a '''stack''' is a data structure that stores data values contiguously in memory. Unlike an array, however, you access (read or write) data only at the "top" of the stack. To read from the stack is said "'''to pop'''" and to write to the stack is said "'''to push'''".
A stack is also known as a LIFO queue (Last In First Out) since values are popped from the stack in ''the reverse order'' that they are pushed onto it (think of how you pile up plates on a table).
Popped data disappears from the stack.
All x86 architectures use a stack as a temporary storage area in RAM that allows the processor to quickly store and retrieve data in memory.
The current top of the stack is pointed to by the '''esp''' register. The stack "grows" downward, from high to low memory addresses, so values recently pushed onto the stack are located in memory addresses ''above'' the esp pointer. No register specifically points to the bottom of the stack, although most operating systems monitor the stack bounds to detect both "underflow" (popping an empty stack) and "overflow" (pushing too much information on the stack) conditions.
When a value is popped off the stack, the value remains sitting in memory until overwritten. However, you should never rely on the content of memory addresses below esp, because other functions may overwrite these values without your knowledge.
Users of Windows ME, 98, 95, 3.1 (and earlier) may fondly remember the infamous "Blue Screen of Death" -- that was sometimes caused by a stack overflow exception. This occurs when too much data is written to the stack, and the stack "grows" beyond its limits. Modern operating systems use better bounds-checking and error recovery to reduce the occurrence of stack overflows, and to maintain system stability after one has occurred.
== Push and Pop ==
The following lines of ASM code are basically equivalent:
{| style="margin:0 auto; border=0 cellspacing=20 cellpadding=10
|
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm">
push eax
</syntaxhighlight>
|
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm">
sub esp, 4
mov DWORD PTR SS:[esp], eax
</syntaxhighlight>
|-
|
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm">
pop eax
</syntaxhighlight>
|
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm">
mov eax, DWORD PTR SS:[esp]
add esp, 4
</syntaxhighlight>
|}
but the single command actually performs much faster than the alternative. It can be visualized that the stack grows from right to left, and esp decreases as the stack grows in size.

Let's say we want to quickly discard 3 items we pushed earlier onto the stack, without saving the values (in other words "clean" the stack). The following works (note that it overwrites the '''eax''' register):
{{-}}
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm">
pop eax
pop eax
pop eax
</syntaxhighlight>
However there is a faster method, that also does not affect any register but the stack pointer. We can simply perform some basic arithmetic on esp to make the pointer go "above" the data items, so they cannot be read anymore, and can be overwritten with the next round of '''push''' commands.
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm">
add esp, 12 ; 12 is 3 DWORDs (4 bytes * 3)
</syntaxhighlight>
Likewise, if we want to reserve room on the stack for an item bigger than a DWORD, we can use a subtraction to artificially move esp forward. We can then access our reserved memory directly as a memory pointer, or we can access it indirectly as an offset value from esp itself.
Say we wanted to create an array of byte values on the stack, 100 items long. We want to store the pointer to the base of this array in '''edi'''. How do we do it? Here is an example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm">
sub esp, 100 ; num of bytes in our array
mov edi, esp ; copy address of 100 bytes area to edi
</syntaxhighlight>
To destroy that array, we simply write the instruction
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm">
add esp, 100
</syntaxhighlight>
== Reading Without Popping ==
To read values on the stack without popping them off the stack, '''esp''' can be used with an offset. For instance, to read the 3 DWORD values from the top of the stack into eax (but without using a pop instruction), we would use the instructions:
<syntaxhighlight lang="asm">
mov eax, DWORD PTR SS:[esp]
mov eax, DWORD PTR SS:[esp + 4]
mov eax, DWORD PTR SS:[esp + 8]
</syntaxhighlight>
Remember, since esp moves downward as the stack grows, data on the stack can be accessed with a positive offset. A negative offset should never be used because data "above" the stack cannot be counted on to stay the way you left it. The operation of reading from the stack without popping is often referred to as "peeking", but since this isn't the official term for it this wikibook won't use it.
== Data Allocation ==
There are two areas in the computer memory where a program can store data. The first, the one that we have been talking about, is the stack. It is a linear LIFO buffer that allows fast allocations and deallocations, but has a limited size. The '''heap''' is typically a non-linear data storage area, typically implemented using linked lists, binary trees, or other more exotic methods. Heaps are slightly more difficult to interface with and to maintain than a stack, and allocations/deallocations are performed more slowly. However, heaps can grow as the data grows, and new heaps can be allocated when data quantities become too large.
As we shall see, explicitly declared variables are allocated on the stack. Stack variables are finite in number, and have a definite size. Heap variables can be variable in number and in size. We will discuss these topics in more detail later.

==Introduction==
Through the use of Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI's), an '''XLink''' allows elements to be inserted into XML documents that create links between resources such as documents, images, files and other pages. An XLink is similar in concept to an HTML hyperlink, but is more powerful and flexible.
This chapter will be a general overview of the XLink syntax. It will also provide exposure to some of XLink's basic concepts. For the full XLink specification, see the latest version of the standard at:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xlink
==XLink==
XLinks create a linking relationship between two or more resources. They allow for any XML element, image, text or markup files to be specified in the link.
By using a method similar to the centralized formatting of XSL stylesheets, XLinks allow a document's hyperlinks to be isolated and centralized in a separate document. As a linked document's addresses changes, the XLink remains functional.
The use of XLink requires the declaration of the [http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink/ XLink namespace]. This namespace provides the global attributes for type, href, role, arcrole, title, show, actuate, label, from and to. The following example would make the prefix xlink available within the tourGuide element.
<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<tourGuide
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
...
</tourGuide>
</syntaxhighlight>
==XLink global attributes==
The following table outlines the attributes that can be used with the xlink namespace. The global attributes are type, href, role, arcrole, title, show, actuate, label, from, and to. The table also includes descriptions of how the attributes can be used.

==XML schema==
<br>
The following XML schema defines a tour guide that contains at least one city. Each city contains one or more attractions. The name of each attraction is an XLink.

| XLink is an extremely versatile specification that standardizes the process for linking to other data sources. Not only does XLink support unidirectional linking similar to an anchor tag in HTML but also can be used to create bidirectional links. Additionally, XLink allows for the linkage from any XML element. This gives great freedom to the developer.

This book is about US Criminal Law, its history, development and current state. The book is designed to complement the Wikiversity course of [[:v:United States Law/Criminal|the same name]], but can be read on its own. Each chapter begins with an outline of the topic because an understanding of the principles of criminal law is necessary to place the topic in context. Where appropriate each chapter will highlight relevant case law and statutes, which may include links to other resources within and outside Wikimedia wikis.
The main goals of the book are to enable the reader to:
* understand the aims and functions of the criminal justice system;
* understand the major criminal offences;
* understand the concept of criminal liability;
* critically evaluate the criminal law and reform proposals.

All crimes have the following four elements in common:
#a voluntary act known as [[w:en:actus reus|actus reus]].
#a culpable state of mind known as [[w:en:mens rea|mens rea]].
#“concurrence” between the mens rea and the actus reus.
#causation of harm (or risk).

[[File:Wings3d.png|right]]
Currently, this wiki is largely based on an older version of the Wings 3D manual, which having been written in 2003, is considerably out of date and filled with extraneous material. Please help us improve this unofficial wiki manual by removing clutter and updating entries to reflect the latest information.
All the original material from the official manual will be eventually removed, and then the above copyright notice can be removed.
The 2003 manual does a very good job of giving brief and concise explanations of features. For this reason, it is being used as the basis for this wiki. If anyone would like to help out, there is an icon in adobe acrobat that turns the mouse pointer into a cursor that you can highlight .pdf text to copy and paste.
'''Latest Version of [http://www.wings3d.com Wings 3D]'''
* '''Stable: 2.4'''
* '''Development: 2.3'''
This manual reflects content in Wings 3D ver. '''0.98.10d'''
== Installing Wings ==
Wings3D is written in the [[w:Erlang_programming_language|Erlang programming language]]. The Erlang binaries needed for Wings are compiled into the Wings distribution.
A list of currently-available plugins can be found [[Wings 3D/User Manual/Plugins|here]]. Note that plugins don’t necessarily work with every version of Wings3D; a given plugin might only work with a particular update.
If you're interested in developing for Wings, you'll need to download the full Erlang distribution. You can download both the Wings3D binaries and Erlang source and runtime libraries for Windows from the [http://www.wings3d.com/ Wings home page].
=== Windows ===
OpenGL and Windows 2000, Win XP or higher are required in order to run Wings 0.99.
The Wings download is a self extracting installer; to install Wings, simply double click on the installer. When a new version of Wings becomes available, simply download the new installer for Wings and overwrite the old installation.
=== Linux ===
Open GL or Mesa is required in order to run Wings 0.99.
Decompress the installation file from the archive wings-0.XXX-linux.run.gz:
$ gzip -d wings-0.XXX-linux.run.gz

== User Interface ==
[[File:Wings_legend.png|right]]
[[File:Wings3d_UM_Overview1.png|thumb|The Wings3D program window|400px|right]]
Wings3D opens with an empty '''geometry window''' (or '''workspace''') at its core. Above the geometry window are the '''title bar''', the '''menu bar''', the '''tool bar''', and the '''status bar'''. At the bottom of the window is the '''information line'''. The rest of the user interface is accessed via context-sensitive menus called up via clicking the '''right mouse button''' over the workspace.
The title bar along the top of the application window identifies the program's name. At the far right of the Title Bar are the standard GUI widgets for Minimize, Restore, and Close. If a previously saved file is open in Wings 3D, the title bar will display its file name. When a file is auto-saved, the title bar displays that the file has been auto-saved.
=== Geometry Window ===
The main window in Wings 3D is the '''geometry window'''. This is where your work is displayed and worked on.
=== Menu Bar ===
At the top of the Geometry window is the menu bar. This is where you will find general options in Wings that are not specific to any one Selection Mode. The menus are as follows:
* [[/The File Menu/]]
* [[/The Edit Menu/]]
* [[/The View Menu/]]
* [[/The Select Menu/]]
* [[/The Tools Menu/]]
* [[/The Window Menu/]]
* [[/The Help Menu/]]
=== The Toolbar ===
The toolbar is a feature within the Geometry window, below the menu bar. It provides one-click access to saving/loading, undo/redo, selection type, general preferences, and scene view options.
Clicking an empty section of the toolbar will deselect any selected elements.
It can be hidden by placing the mouse over the Geometry window title bar and clicking the right mouse button and selecting '''Hide Toolbar''' from the pop-up menu. To reveal a hidden toolbar, right-click the title bar and select '''Show Toolbar'''.
==== Toolbar Buttons ====
* '''Vertex''' - switches to '''vertex mode'''
** Clicking the ''Vertex Icon'' when in another selection mode will transform your current selection to its equivalent as ''Vertices''
** Clicking the ''Vertex Icon'' with a vertex selection already made will "grow" the selection
* '''Edge''' - switches to '''edge mode'''
** Clicking the ''Edge Icon'' when in another selection mode will transform your current selection to its equivalent as ''Edges''
** Clicking the ''Edge Icon'' with an edge selection already made will "grow" the selection
* '''Face''' - switches to '''face mode'''
** Clicking the ''Face Icon'' when in another selection mode will transform your current selection to its equivalent as ''Faces''
** Clicking the ''Face Icon'' with a face selection already made will "grow" the selection
* '''Object''' - switches to '''object/body mode'''
** Clicking the ''object/Body Icon'' when in another selection mode will select the entire object
----
''Note that growing the selection using the toolbar icons does not grow the selection in the same way that '''Select|More''' submenu in the '''menu bar''' does.''
----
* '''Preferences''' - opens the preferences window
* '''Shaded Preview''' - toggles between '''smooth''' and '''flat''' view mode
* '''Orthographic/Perspective View''' - toggles between '''orthographic view''' and '''perspective view'''
** ''Orthographic View'' shows models in two dimensions. In this mode, lines are not subject to foreshortening like they are in perspective view. Therefore, in a scene with two identical objects the object furthest away from the camera still appears to have the same dimensions as the object closest to the camera. This is useful for certain operations like moving elements only on the plane that the camera is facing with '''Move|Free''' or '''Tools|Tweak Mode'''. It is also useful in some '''Tools|Connect Mode''' operations.
** ''Perspective View'' shows the model in three dimensions and gives the impression that certain elements of the geometry are further away than others. This is often the ideal viewing mode for most modeling operations because this is how objects appear to us in the real world.
* '''Show/Hide Grid''' - toggles the '''grid''' on and off
* '''Show/Hide Axes''' - toggles the X, Y and Z '''axes''' on or off
=== The Status Bar ===
The status bar changes automatically to display relevant information about selected elements or helpful comments during complex modeling operations. Keeping an eye on the status bar is important as it gives you valuable information about the status of an operation while manipulating elements of geometry. It displays this information in '''degrees(°)''' for rotations, as a '''percentage(%)''' during scale operations, and in '''distances(D)''' for movements in Wings' internal distance units (wu).
=== The Workspace ===
In the Workspace itself are the three main axes which are conveniently labeled X, Y, and Z. It is customary to think in terms of X as being the right and left, Y the up and down and Z the front and back of a model. Many of the commands are axis-specific in operation, working around these global axes or around local axes parallel to them. Display colors for each axis are by default set to '''X: red, Y: green, Z: blue''', but you can assign axis colors according to your preference.
A grid is centered at the world's origin point. This grid is useful for measuring the objects you create. It uses Wings world units, which are an arbitrary size that you can use to represent any scale you want, i.e. inches, feet, etc.
=== The Information Line ===
The '''information line''' runs along the bottom of the main Wings window. This is probably the most important thing to keep your eye on, ''especially'' if you are new to Wings. The information line's main purpose is to display every possible button option available for the currently highlighted or active ''operation'', ''tool'', or ''menu item''. Many of the tools and menu options have more than one function, and some of the more advanced options are only displayed in the information line. To display any menu item's possible options or described function, simply hover over the item with the mouse cursor.
The information line uses the letters '''L''', '''M''' and '''R''' for the left, middle and right mouse buttons, respectively. When several options are available for a tool, menu item, or during an operation, those options are displayed in the information line preceded by L, M, or R. Sometimes the user will be prompted to depress a '''modifier key''' in conjunction with the designated mouse button. The typical modifier keys are ''control <Ctrl>'', ''<Alt>'', or ''<Shift>'', or sometimes a combination of two or more are used with the mouse buttons. There are other instances when numeric or other keys are used to toggle options. In cases where numeric keys are used to change the result of a command, '''do not use the numeric keypad'''. For numeric key modifiers displayed in the information line, use the numeric keys across the top of your keyboard instead.
=== Dialog Boxes ===
'''Dialog boxes''' are used to enter values via the keyboard as parameters for operations in Wings. Some dialog boxes pop up when the user chooses to enter a value numerically and other pop up automatically asking the user to enter a value before proceeding.
==== Tab Entry Dialog Box ====
The most common dialog boxes in Wings is the '''tab entry dialog box'''. Perhaps that's not its official name, but it serves as a pretty apt description. Pressing '''<tab>''' during most types of operations that involve ''scaling'', ''moving'', ''rotating'', or ''extruding'' elements of geometry invokes this dialog box. The information line will tell you when this option is available. When the user presses '''<tab>''' during such an operation, the tab entry dialog box will open with the present value of the operation already entered, ready for the user to edit.
The benefit to using the tab entry dialog box is that you can apply very precise transformations to operations that would be very difficult or impossible by mouse-dragging.
==== Math In Dialog Boxes ====
There's an interesting feature to this dialog box that's not apparent at first glance. Wings understands most of the common mathematical expressions including addition(+), subtraction(-), multiplication(*) and division(/). It is perfectly feasible to type
12.345+0.1/1.67-4
into the dialog, press '''<enter>''' and receive a legitimate result for a particular operation.
Note that Wings recognizes a number of mathematical expressions. In the dialog box, type '''math:''' before the expression -- for example, '''math:pi''' would call up the value of pi. Here are the allowed expressions:
* sin
* cos
* tan
* asin
* acos
* atan
* atan
* sinh
* cosh
* tanh
* asinh
* acosh
* atanh
* exp
* log
* log10
* pow
* sqrt
* abs
* pi
==== Dialog Box History ====
Another feature of the dialog boxes is a kind of "history" feature. The tab entry dialog box retains previous entries and can pull those values back up at your bidding. Pressing the up and down arrow keys will scroll through the history of past inputs. Access to previous entries in a dialog box can be a useful, especially when you have to perform the same procedure more than once in a session. The history function allows you to quickly repeat a procedure at a constant value. Keep in mind that dialog box input history is not exclusive to each tool. It keeps a running history of the inputs for ''all tools''. This means that the last entry you typed will appear when you press the up arrow once, '''not necessarily the input you typed for the last time you used that particular tool.'''
=== Assigning Hotkeys ===
Wings has a set of standard hotkeys which come predefined upon installing. (For your current hotkey listing, in the Menu Bar go to '''Help|Defined Hotkeys'''.) One of the great advantages that Wings offers its users is the ability to set user-defined hotkeys.
Any command that appears in a menu can be assigned to a keyboard shortcut. To assign a hotkey to a command, open the menu containing the command. Highlight the command and press the '''<Insert>''' or the '''</>''' key, followed by the key you wish to assign it to. The hotkey should now appear beside the command. To delete a hotkey, highlight the command and press the '''< Del >''' or '''<\>''' key.
==== What To Know About Hotkeys ====
Here are a few facts about hotkeying in Wings which will help in creating a layout that works for you.
* The hotkey assigned to a tool or command is displayed beside it in the menu where that command is found.
* Wings accepts any combination of '''<Ctrl>''', '''<Shift>''' or '''<Alt>''' as a modifier to a hotkey. For instance, using the '''B''' key, you can assign the following eight commands:
** ''B, <Ctrl>+B, <Shift>+B, <Alt>+B, <Ctrl>+<Shift>+B, <Ctrl>+<Alt>+B, <Shift>+<Alt>+B, <Ctrl>+<Shift>+<Alt>+B''
* Wings uses context-sensitive hotkeys. Just as with context-sensitive menus, Wings only allows you access to hotkeys of tools and commands available from within the current selection mode. This means that you can re-use the same hotkey for tools or commands in different Modes. For instance '''S''' can be assigned to both '''Smooth''' in the Face menu and '''Slide''' in the Edge menu. If there is a conflict, Wings will tell you right away.
* Hotkeys assigned to tools or commands found in the Menu Bar cannot be re-used. This is because the commands found in Menu Bar menus will (for the most part) work across all modes, essentially making them global hotkeys. For example, if you assign '''<Ctrl>+T''' to '''Tweak''' in the Tools Menu, you cannot re-use this hotkey because pressing '''<Ctrl>+T''' in any mode will start up '''Tweak Mode'''.
* Wings does not currently allow hotkeying for right or middle mouse button options.
Currently there is no built in facility for printing out a list of your hotkeys, however, you can use the Erlang Console to produce an HTML document of all your hotkeys, which can be printed. To do this, you must enter some code into the Erlang Console; instructions can be found on [http://chronosphere.home.comcast.net/tut-wings-shell.htm Scorpius's web page].
==== Hotkey Strategies ====
Although everybody eventually comes up with their own system for hotkeys, there are some good basic strategies to get you started. The primary tools in Wings -- such as Move, Rotate, and Scale -- have five basic directions along which you can perform an operation. These are:
* the three axes '''X''', '''Y''', '''Z'''
* along the selection's '''Normal'''
* along the plane created by the camera's point of view, called '''Free'''
The primary tools Move, Rotate, and Scale also share the fact that they are available across all of the selection modes. Because of this it makes sense to use the same hotkey for Move -- say, 'M' -- in all four selection modes and use modifier keys to achieve the five basic directions. Because the basic directions X, Y, Z, Normal, and Free exist across all modes for a variety of tools, it makes sense to assign a modifier key to each direction.
For example, if we decide that '''<Alt>''' represents the X direction, then "Move along X axis" would be <Alt>+M. You can then hotkey "Move along X axis" as <Alt>+M in the Vertex, Edge, Face, Body, and Light selection modes, so no matter what selection mode you are in, you can always hit <Alt>+M to move your selection along the X axis. You could then consider using <Ctrl> for the Z axis, and <Shift> for the Y axis so that no matter what tool you use, the modifier for the operation's direction is always the same.
Say you decide that 'R' is for rotate. "Rotate around the Z axis" can be hotkeyed as <Shift>+R, and "rotate around the X axis" can be <Alt>+R, just like "move along Z axis" could be <Shift>+M. Once you decide what is best for you you can assign the other directions. Remember that there are eight possible combinations of any key plus its modifiers. This should be plenty to get the majority of the tools hotkeyed in a way you are going to remember them.

#Go to File -> New File -> XML -> XML Document.
#Save your file as ‘city’
#Select XML Schema-Constrained Document as the document type.
#Next, specify your schema location (Go to Browse, then select the schema just created) and root element name (tourGuide).
#Copy and paste the above code into the NetBeans editor and save.
#Check the XML document to make sure it is well-formed (ALT-F9).
To validate an XML document:
#Right-click the document's node and choose Validate XML.
If the XML file, city.xml, conforms to the XML schema provided, city.xsd, your Output Window should look like the following:

==== Netbeans Tips ====
The prefix "xsi" for attribute "xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation" associated with an element type "Listing" is not bound.
-Caused because line
"xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'" is
missing from the top of the document.
cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'Listing'.
-Caused due to lack of extension(.xsd) at the end of the schema
name.
cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'MuseumName'. One of '{"":Museum}' is expected. [5]
-Caused due to lack of naming at the beginning and end of the
variable naming section.
The element type "MuseumName" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</MuseumName>".
-Could be caused by a missing "/" in the end tag of one of the
variables
===XML Schema===
Any XML document, including XML schema and XML stylesheet documents, can be checked to make sure they are “well-formed”. An XML document is said to be well-formed if it adheres to the XML syntax rules, as outlined in the Chapter 1, such as there must be exactly one root element, every start tag must have an end tag. The well-formedness of an XML documents can be checked using an XML editor software, in this case, the NetBeans.
If any errors are detected, they are listed along with the line number in the Output window. This location is not necessarily the line where the error occurred. By double-clicking on any error message, you can go to the line in the XML document where the error was detected.
Use NetBeans to create a new project:
#Go to File -> New Project
Use NetBeans to create the above XML schema:
#Go to File -> New File -> XML -> XML Schema.
#Save your file as ‘city’ (this gives the file an extension of .xsd).
#Copy and Paste the above schema into city.xsd and save
To check an XML document to see if it is well-formed:
#Right-click the document's node (under files, city.xsd) and choose Check XML schema or press Alt-F9.
If the XML schema, city.xsd, is well-formed, your Output Window should look like this:
[[Image:WellForm.JPG|Well Form XML Document]]
<table width="100%" border="1" bgcolor="ffffff">
<tr>
<td><b>
'''Summary: The XML schema shows the structure and elements of an XML document.'''
</b></td>
</tr>
</table>
==== ''' Netbeans Tips ''' ====
Element type "xsd:element" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".
-Caused by lack of ">" or "/>" symbol at the end of either the
specified line or the line there after.
The value of attribute "name" associated with an element type "xsd:complexType" must not contain the '<' character.
-Often caused by lack of closing quotation around the variable
name on either the specified line or the line there after.
src-resolve.4.2: Error resolving component 'xsd:strin'...
-Caused by invalid "type", most likely misspelled. Can be for
any "type", not just "string."
The element type "xsd:sequence" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</xsd:sequence>".
-Caused because </xsd:sequence> is not found in order to close
the statement.
-Also caused because the closing statements are out of order as
they at the beginning of the Schema.
===XML Stylesheet===
Use NetBeans to create the above XML stylesheet:
#Go to File -> New File -> XML -> XSL Stylesheet
#Save your file as ‘city’
#Copy and paste the above code into the NetBeans editor and save.
#Check the stylesheet to make sure it is well-formed (ALT-F9).
Note: The city example files (city.xsd, city.xml and city.xsl) can
be created using a text editor, and the results are displayed correctly
in a compatible web browser such as Mozilla 1.6. You will need to store
all of the files in the same directory and insert the following line
after line 1 of city.xml:
<syntaxhighlight lang="xml"><?xml-stylesheet href="city.xsl" type="text/xsl"?></syntaxhighlight>
This associates the XSL Stylesheet with the XML file containing the
city data. Also, If you are using Netbeans, be sure to take off the xmlns line in the beginning which looks like xmlns='http://xml.netbeans.org/examples/targetNS', otherwise it will not display all data.
==== ''' Netbeans Tips ''' ====
The element type "xsl:text" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</xsl:text>".
-Caused by either lack of end-tag or misspelling of the end-
tag.
The element type "xsl:for-each" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</xsl:for-each>".
-Caused due to either lack of end-tag for the specified tag or
end-tags placed in the wrong order.

== XML Style Sheet ==
Similar to the layout we visited in chapter 3, this style sheet lists each hotel in the XML document by country. But this time some new features have been added. Price range elements have been included, each hotel’s amenities are now listed, and the population of each country has been formatted to improve readability.
=== XSLT Functions ===
When formatting XML output, there may be times when you might want to massage the data or get certain values for display. Placed within the XML style sheet, functions can be used to manipulate data during the transformation. We saw an example of this in chapter 3 when displaying the number of hotels within a city.
{{center|'''<xsl:value-of select="count(hotel)" />'''}}
In order to make the population a little easier to read in our style sheet, we need to separate the digits into groups of threes and add commas. To do this we use the format-number( ) function. The purpose of this function is to convert a numeric value into a string using specified patterns that control the number of leading zeroes, separator between thousands, etc. The basic syntax of this function is as follows:
{{center|'''format-number (number, pattern)'''}}
* number is the numeric value to be formatted
* pattern is a string that lays out the general representation of a number. Each character in the string represents either a digit from number or some special punctuation such as a comma or minus sign.
In order to display <population> with the digits grouped by three’s using commas as the separator, the format-number function was used in line {51} of our XML style sheet.
The following are the characters and their meanings used to represent the number format when using the format-number function within a style sheet:
<table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0" border="1" style="font-size:small; width:50%" align="center">
<tr><td width="10%">
<strong> Symbol </strong></td><td><strong> Meaning </strong>
</td></tr>
<tr><td valign="top">
0 <br>
# <br>
. <br>
, <br>
; <br>
- <br>
% <br>
X <br>
‘
</td>
<td valign="top">
A digit.<br>
A digit, zero shows as absent.<br>
(period) Placeholder for decimal separator.<br>
Placeholder for grouping separator.<br>
Separate formats.<br>
Default prefix for negative.<br>
Multiply by 100 and show as a percentage.<br>
Any other characters can be used in the prefix or suffix.<br>
Used to quote special characters in a prefix or suffix.
</td></tr></table>
There are numerous other functions that you may find use for within a style sheet. The following are some additional numeric based functions that are useful when handling numbers within a stylesheet.
<table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0" border="1" style="font-size:small; width:50%" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="28%"><strong> Name </strong></td>
<td><strong> Description </strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>ceiling() </td>
<td>Returns the smallest integer that is not less than the number argument </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>floor() </td>
<td>Returns the largest integer that is not greater than the number argument </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>number() </td>
<td>Converts the value argument to a number </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>round() </td>
<td>Rounds the number argument to the nearest integer </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>sum() </td>

'''Figure 5-5 XML stylesheet – amenity.xsl'''
In the XML stylesheet, you will see two additional functions '''position()''' and '''last()'''. The position function returns the position of the current context node in the current context node-set. The last function returns the index number of the last node in the context. To list each amenity for each hotel, the transformation checks to see if the current position of the node is different than the position of the last context node in the set. If this returns true, then a comma is added as the amenities are listed.
Although this stylesheet builds upon the one we saw in chapter 3, notice the use of embedded tables to further specify the layout of the data being conveyed. Values and their indicators have been separated into table cells, allowing for a cleaner look and feel.

/* XSLT Functions */

== XML Style Sheet ==
Similar to the layout we visited in chapter 3, this style sheet lists each hotel in the XML document by country. But this time some new features have been added. Price range elements have been included, each hotel’s amenities are now listed, and the population of each country has been formatted to improve readability.
=== XSLT Functions ===
When formatting XML output, there may be times when you might want to massage the data or get certain values for display. Placed within the XML style sheet, functions can be used to manipulate data during the transformation. We saw an example of this in chapter 3 when displaying the number of hotels within a city.
{{center|1='''<xsl:value-of select="count(hotel)" />'''}}
In order to make the population a little easier to read in our style sheet, we need to separate the digits into groups of threes and add commas. To do this we use the format-number( ) function. The purpose of this function is to convert a numeric value into a string using specified patterns that control the number of leading zeroes, separator between thousands, etc. The basic syntax of this function is as follows:
{{center|'''format-number (number, pattern)'''}}
* number is the numeric value to be formatted
* pattern is a string that lays out the general representation of a number. Each character in the string represents either a digit from number or some special punctuation such as a comma or minus sign.
In order to display <population> with the digits grouped by three’s using commas as the separator, the format-number function was used in line {51} of our XML style sheet.
The following are the characters and their meanings used to represent the number format when using the format-number function within a style sheet:
<table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0" border="1" style="font-size:small; width:50%" align="center">
<tr><td width="10%">
<strong> Symbol </strong></td><td><strong> Meaning </strong>
</td></tr>
<tr><td valign="top">
0 <br>
# <br>
. <br>
, <br>
; <br>
- <br>
% <br>
X <br>
‘
</td>
<td valign="top">
A digit.<br>
A digit, zero shows as absent.<br>
(period) Placeholder for decimal separator.<br>
Placeholder for grouping separator.<br>
Separate formats.<br>
Default prefix for negative.<br>
Multiply by 100 and show as a percentage.<br>
Any other characters can be used in the prefix or suffix.<br>
Used to quote special characters in a prefix or suffix.
</td></tr></table>
There are numerous other functions that you may find use for within a style sheet. The following are some additional numeric based functions that are useful when handling numbers within a stylesheet.
<table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0" border="1" style="font-size:small; width:50%" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="28%"><strong> Name </strong></td>
<td><strong> Description </strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>ceiling() </td>
<td>Returns the smallest integer that is not less than the number argument </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>floor() </td>
<td>Returns the largest integer that is not greater than the number argument </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>number() </td>
<td>Converts the value argument to a number </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>round() </td>
<td>Rounds the number argument to the nearest integer </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>sum() </td>
<td>Returns the total value of a set of numeric values in a node-set </td>
</tr>

To list each amenity for each hotel, the transformation checks to see if the current position of the node is different than the position of the last context node in the set.

== 1) Movie collection ==
Use the following data model:
[[Image:Xml5moviedm.png]]
:a. Using the IDREF method, create an XML schema to describe the illustrated data model. Include all of the attributes listed in the data model.
:b. Create an XML document that includes at least two movies and two cast members per movie.
:c. Create a simple XML style sheet to present the information in HTML format. No tables or CSS are necessary.
== 2) Student/Class Directory ==
:a. Every class at a school can have many students, and each student can be registered to more than one class at a time. Create an XML schema to capture this many-to-many relationship. Be sure to include the class name, capacity, building number, building name, and room number. Also include the student first/last name separately and his or her grade for the class.
:b. Using the XML schema created in part a, create an XML document and an XML stylesheet. You can make up your own data, but be sure to use at least three students for each class.

== Exercise 1 ==
Below is an example of an invalid HTML document that contains a number of deprecated features. It is also badly structured. The document needs converting to XHTML with the content separated from the presentation.
a. Change the HTML document into a valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional document. Validate your page using the validator available at http://validator.w3.org/.
b. Starting with the model answer for question 1.a. indentify all deprecated elements and attributes in the document and replace them with CSS in a linked external stylesheet. See [[HyperText Markup Language/Tag List]] for details of deprecated elements.
c. Starting with the model answer for question 1.b. replace all presentational markup with semantic markup and ensure that all inline elements are contained in block-level elements. Change the DOCTYPE to XHTML 1.0 Strict and validate the page with the W3C Markup Validation Service.

== Introduction ==
Cocoon is a product of the Apache Software Foundation. It is a powerful server heavily based on Java and XML technology. While it does have a command line interface, most users will be able to do everything they need to with it simply through careful editing of a few configuration files, formatted as XML documents. If you want to see some examples of what Cocoon can do, go to http://MIST5730.terry.uga.edu:8080/cocoon/.
== Assumptions ==
This tutorial is set up based on the user having access to an installation of Cocoon on Terry’s Blaze server. If you do not have this access, simply replace file locations and access methods with those provided by your server administrator. Some programs described may be Windows-only; you will need to find out a suitable replacement if you are a Macintosh or Linux user, although these utilities are often included with the operating system. JEdit is a free text editor that can read and save files on an FTP or SFTP server as easily as on a hard disk, and properly manipulate many different types of files, with the proper plugins. It is available for Windows, Macintosh, some Linux distributions and as a platform-independent Java application at http://www.jedit.org/.
== The Sitemap ==
The primary Cocoon file to be concerned with is sitemap.xmap, located in the root Cocoon directory. It uses XML tags to define things such as different ways to present data, the location of important files, identification of browsers, and the most important aspect, pipelines. The default xmap will be fine for our purposes, and we will only need to look at the last few lines of it, where pipeline matches are defined. This section begins at the tag <code><map:pipeline></code>. A pipeline match looks like this:
<syntaxhighlight lang="XML">
<map:match pattern=”test”>
<map:generate type=”file” src=”content/test.xml”/>
<map:transform type=”xslt” src=”stylesheets/test.xslt”/>
<map:serialize type=”html”/>
</map:match>
</syntaxhighlight>
Let’s look at what each line does. The first line tells Cocoon to watch for someone browsing to http://blaze.terry.uga.edu:8080/cocoon/otc/test. When this happens, the actions on the next three lines take place. Cocoon will take the information from the file test.xml within the content directory, and apply the stylesheet test.xslt from the stylesheets directory. It formats this result as an html page, as specified on the fourth line. Cocoon can use different serializers to format data as an html or xhtml page, flash object, pdf, or even OpenOffice document. Unlike when working with XML for other purposes, no XSD schema is needed – simply create and populate fields in the XML file as necessary.
== Cocoon Forms ==
Cocoon forms, or CForms, are a way to use XML structure to create validating form field objects and then arrange them in a template for use. The primary advantage of CForms over using HTML forms is that fields can be validated either with built-in functionality or simple XML attributes. There are several elements required for this. A definition XML file, which holds the fields, called "widgets":
<syntaxhighlight lang="XML">
<fd:field id="email" required="true">
<fd:label>Email address:</fd:label>
<fd:datatype base="string"/>
<fd:validation>
<fd:email/>
</fd:validation>
</fd:field>
</syntaxhighlight>
<br>
A template XML file calls on these widgets, adding HTML code to help with look and feel:
<syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict">
<br/>
<ft:widget-label id="email"/>
<ft:widget id="email"/>
</syntaxhighlight>
A Javascript file that controls the flow of data from one file to the next:
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript">
function registration() {
var form = new Form("registration_definition.xml");
form.showForm("registration-display-pipeline");
var viewData = { "username" : form.getChild("name").getValue() }
cocoon.sendPage("registration-success-pipeline", viewData);
}
</syntaxhighlight>
Pipelines in the sitemap that also control flow:
<syntaxhighlight lang="XML">
<map:match pattern="registration">
<map:call function="registration"/>
</map:match>
...
<map:match pattern="registration-display-pipeline">
<map:generate type="jx" src="registration_template.xml"/>
<map:transform type="i18n">
<map:parameter name="locale" value="en-US"/>
</map:transform>
<map:transform src="forms-samples-styling.xsl"/>
<map:serialize/>
</map:match>
...
<map:match pattern="registration-success-pipeline">
<map:generate type="jx" src="registration_success.jx"/>
<map:serialize/>
</map:match>
</syntaxhighlight>
An XSP can be used in this flow in order to pass submissions to a database.
== XSPs ==
XSPs function similarly to JSPs and servlets - they are server-side applications that can support many users at once. Unlike JSPs and servlets, XSPs can use XML tags to accomplish much of their functionality, although they can also use Java code between <xsp:logic></xsp:logic> tags. One good use for XSPs is passing information to a database or recalling and displaying stored data. While JSPs and servlets have to either call a specific database connector or contain all of the code for connecting within them, Cocoon has a configuration file which holds this information, and XSPs just call the name of the database as specified in WEB-INF/cocoon.xconf:
<code><esql:pool>dbname</esql:pool></code>
XSP code to enter data from a form might look like this:
<code><esql:execute-query></code>
<code><esql:query></code>
<code>INSERT into otc_users (name,email,password,age,spam) values ('<xsp:expr>esc_name</xsp:expr>','<xsp-request:get-parameter name="email"/>','<xsp-request:get-parameter name="password"/>','<xsp-request:get-parameter name="age"/>','<xsp-request:get-parameter name="spam"/>')</code>
<code></esql:query></code>
<code></esql:execute-query></code>
== Exercises ==
# Create a basic XML file and accompanying html stylesheet. Upload them into the proper folders (content and stylesheets respectively) on the Blaze server, and write a pipeline match that would enable you to view the XML content with your stylesheet applied in a browser. Files and match pattern should be named after your own name, for example Bob Jones would use “bjones.” It is not necessary to upload the pipeline code - simply browse to http://blaze.terry.uga.edu:8080/cocoon/otc/yourname and it should be visible.
# Follow along with the CForms example located at http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/basics/sample.html. Create and implement at least one widget of your own making. You can view this at work by browsing to http://blaze.terry.uga.edu:8080/cocoon/cforms/registration.
# Browse to opt/tomcat5/webapps/cocoon/cforms on Blaze. Examine sitemap-modified.xmap to see how the pipelines could be modified to pass CForm data to an XSP. Test.xsp shows how that data could be inserted into or called from a database.
== Appendix - Accessing the Blaze server ==
When you have an account set up on the Blaze server, there are several steps you will need to take in order to be able to work with files in the Cocoon directory. Generally, new user accounts are set up with the user’s UGA MyId as the username, and social security number as the password. This password must be changed at the user’s first login, which requires using an SSH client to accomplish. UGA students can download Secure Shell Utilities 3.1 at http://sitesoft.uga.edu/. Two programs are installed by this download, Secure Shell Client and Secure File Transfer Client.
Open the Secure Shell client and click the “Quick Connect” button located near the top of the window. In the resulting window, enter “blaze.terry.uga.edu” as the Host Name, and your specified username as User Name. Port Number should be set to “22”, and Authentication Method should be “Passworded”. Click “Connect”. In the resulting window, enter your given password and click “Ok”. You may see a window asking to save the new host key, click “Yes”. You will now be presented with a text box. It will notify you that your password has expired and must be changed. You will need to enter your given password once, hit enter, enter your desired new password, hit enter, and again enter your desired new password and hit enter. Be aware that nothing you type will show up for security purposes, and you will not be able to delete any typos - you'll have to log in and start over if you mess up. This is all we will be using the Secure Shell Client application for; you can click the “Disconnect” button in the row of small buttons at the top of the screen, and then exit the program.
In order to actually access files on the Blaze server, the Secure File Transfer Client is used. Open it and click the “Quick Connect” button located near the top of the window, entering the same Host Name as with the Secure Shell Client, your new password, and make sure the other settings are the same. Click “Connect.” You will be presented with a Windows Explorer-type screen where you can browse through the files on the Blaze server. To access our Cocoon installation go to the “opt” folder, then the “tomcat5” folder, then the “webapps” folder, then the cocoon folder. Most of our work will be done in the “otc” folder within. To download a file for editing, simply highlight it and click the “Download” button in the row of small buttons at the top of the screen. Once you select a download location and click “Download.” You can then open it in your editor of choice. To upload a file to the server, simply do the reverse – click the “Upload” button in the row of small buttons as the top of the screen, select a file to upload, and click “Upload,” which will put the file in the folder you are currently viewing on the Blaze server.

[[Image:Acoustics threshold of hearing.JPG|center]]
<!--[[image:ath-soundpressure.png|thumb|200px|right|Fig. 1: A typical ATH curve]]-->
[[image:FletcherMunson_ELC.svg|thumb|350px|right|Fig. 1: The Fletcher-Munson equal-loudness contours. The lowest of the curves is the ATH.]]
The '''threshold of hearing''' is the Sound pressure level SPL of 20 µPa (micropascals) = 2 × 10<sup>−5</sup> pascal (Pa). This low threshold of amplitude (strength or sound pressure level) is frequency dependent. See the frequency curve in Fig. 2 below
The '''absolute threshold of hearing''' (ATH) is the minimum amplitude (level or strength) of a pure tone that the average ear with normal hearing can hear in a noiseless environment.
The '''threshold of pain''' is the SPL beyond which sound becomes unbearable for a human listener. This threshold varies only slightly with frequency. Prolonged exposure to sound pressure levels in excess of the threshold of pain can cause physical damage, potentially leading to hearing impairment.
Different values for the threshold of pain:
{| border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0"
|colspan="3" align="center" | '''Threshold of pain'''
|-
| SPL || sound pressure
|-
| 120 dBSPL || '''20 Pa'''
|-
| 130 dBSPL || 63 Pa
|-
| 134 dBSPL || '''100 Pa'''
|-
| '''137.5 dBSPL''' || 150 Pa
|-
| 140 dBSPL|| 200 Pa
|}
The '''Threshold of hearing''' is frequency dependent, and typically shows a minimum (indicating the ear's maximum sensitivity) at frequencies between 1 kHz and 5 kHz. A typical ATH curve is pictured in Fig. 1. The absolute threshold of hearing represents the lowest curve amongst the set of equal-loudness contours, with the highest curve representing the threshold of pain.
In psychoacoustic audio compression, the ATH is used, often in combination with masking curves, to calculate which spectral components are inaudible and may thus be ignored in the coding process; any part of an audio spectrum which has an amplitude (level or strength) below the ATH may be removed from an audio signal without any audible change to the signal.
The ATH curve rises with age as the human ear becomes more insensitive to sound, with the greatest changes occurring at frequencies higher than 2 kHz. Curves for subjects of various age groups are illustrated in Fig. 2. The data is from the United States ''Occupational Health and Environment Control, Standard Number:1910.95 App F''

</blockquote>
===XML document:===
#Go to File -> New File -> XML -> XML Document.
#Save your file as ‘city’
#Select XML Schema-Constrained Document as the document type.
#Next, specify your schema location (Go to Browse, then select the schema just created) and root element name (tourGuide).
#Copy and paste the above code into the NetBeans editor and save.
#Check the XML document to make sure it is well-formed (ALT-F9).
To validate an XML document:
#Right-click the document's node and choose Validate XML.
If the XML file, city.xml, conforms to the XML schema provided, city.xsd, your Output Window should look like the following:
[[Image:WellForm.JPG|Output Window - Validity check]]
Open this file, city.xml, in NetBeans.
<table width="100%" border="1" bgcolor="ffffff">
<tr>
<td><b>
'''Summary: Being a file which contains XML code and syntax, the XML document is an entity of neatly organized elements and subelements.'''
</b></td>
</tr>
</table>
==== Netbeans Tips ====
The prefix "xsi" for attribute "xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation" associated with an element type "Listing" is not bound.
-Caused because line
"xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'" is
missing from the top of the document.
cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'Listing'.
-Caused due to lack of extension(.xsd) at the end of the schema
name.
cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'MuseumName'. One of '{"":Museum}' is expected. [5]
-Caused due to lack of naming at the beginning and end of the
variable naming section.
The element type "MuseumName" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</MuseumName>".
-Could be caused by a missing "/" in the end tag of one of the
variables
===XML Schema===
Any XML document, including XML schema and XML stylesheet documents, can be checked to make sure they are “well-formed”. An XML document is said to be well-formed if it adheres to the XML syntax rules, as outlined in the Chapter 1, such as there must be exactly one root element, every start tag must have an end tag. The well-formedness of an XML documents can be checked using an XML editor software, in this case, the NetBeans.
If any errors are detected, they are listed along with the line number in the Output window. This location is not necessarily the line where the error occurred. By double-clicking on any error message, you can go to the line in the XML document where the error was detected.
Use NetBeans to create a new project:
#Go to File -> New Project
Use NetBeans to create the above XML schema:
#Go to File -> New File -> XML -> XML Schema.
#Save your file as ‘city’ (this gives the file an extension of .xsd).
#Copy and Paste the above schema into city.xsd and save
To check an XML document to see if it is well-formed:
#Right-click the document's node (under files, city.xsd) and choose Check XML schema or press Alt-F9.
If the XML schema, city.xsd, is well-formed, your Output Window should look like this:
[[Image:WellForm.JPG|Well Form XML Document]]
<table width="100%" border="1" bgcolor="ffffff">
<tr>
<td><b>
'''Summary: The XML schema shows the structure and elements of an XML document.'''
</b></td>
</tr>
</table>
==== ''' Netbeans Tips ''' ====
Element type "xsd:element" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".
-Caused by lack of ">" or "/>" symbol at the end of either the
specified line or the line there after.
The value of attribute "name" associated with an element type "xsd:complexType" must not contain the '<' character.
-Often caused by lack of closing quotation around the variable
name on either the specified line or the line there after.
src-resolve.4.2: Error resolving component 'xsd:strin'...
-Caused by invalid "type", most likely misspelled. Can be for
any "type", not just "string."
The element type "xsd:sequence" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</xsd:sequence>".
-Caused because </xsd:sequence> is not found in order to close
the statement.
-Also caused because the closing statements are out of order as
they at the beginning of the Schema.
===XML Stylesheet===
Use NetBeans to create the above XML stylesheet:
#Go to File -> New File -> XML -> XSL Stylesheet
#Save your file as ‘city’
#Copy and paste the above code into the NetBeans editor and save.
#Check the stylesheet to make sure it is well-formed (ALT-F9).
Note: The city example files (city.xsd, city.xml and city.xsl) can be created using a text editor, and the results are displayed correctly in a compatible web browser such as Mozilla 1.6. You will need to store all of the files in the same directory and insert the following line after line 1 of city.xml: <syntaxhighlight lang="xml" inline=yes><?xml-stylesheet href="city.xsl" type="text/xsl"?></syntaxhighlight>
This associates the XSL Stylesheet with the XML file containing the city data. Also, If you are using Netbeans, be sure to take off the xmlns line in the beginning which looks like xmlns='http://xml.netbeans.org/examples/targetNS', otherwise it will not display all data.
==== ''' Netbeans Tips ''' ====
The element type "xsl:text" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</xsl:text>".
-Caused by either lack of end-tag or misspelling of the end-
tag.
The element type "xsl:for-each" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</xsl:for-each>".
-Caused due to either lack of end-tag for the specified tag or
end-tags placed in the wrong order.

''Welcome to NYC, where, around every corner, there is something on the wall. Each bend you turn there is another piece sprayed or written on the wall. They all vary: KEZ1...SUBJECT...TKZ...You watch people turn their heads in disgust as they look at this vandalism.''
''I turn and smile at it.''
Welcome to the world of graffiti. However, before you turn your head from this page, know this:
If [[:w:en:Leonardo da Vinci|Leonardo da Vinci]] had painted [[:w:en:Mona Lisa|''Mona Lisa'']] on his neighbor's wall, then they would have turned their heads in disgust. But it was a professional canvas painting, and is now famous. But, due to the massive abuse of spray paint on walls, any form of calligraphy that has arrows, dots, stars, and fast curves in it is looked at with disgust. If anyone did that to my house, I'd get them locked up for it.
But as an artform, it's beautiful.

{{center/top}}<h1>'''What Is Graff?'''</h1>{{center/end}}
What is graffiti to the eyes of the public? To many, graffiti is a defacing of public property, some words scrawled out on a brick wall, some spray paint done in about three seconds with absolutely no meaning. Most people pass by a person doing block letters in a note book. They take one look at the letters and accuse the person of being a vandal. These people don't see between the lines in the art form we know as graffiti.
What's graffiti to us?
Well, take a look at it this way. Graffiti is an art, has every right to be displayed in a museum (which, in fact, some is), and is something people from urban environments almost enjoy. It's a movement, it's a culture, it's a way of life. It's talent that flows in the form of lettering and cartooning, red and black and orange and pearlescent gold spray paint. It's design capability that flows in the form of Sharpie ink, Marks-a-lot paint, and normal pencil or pen. And what I said above about people unable to read between the lines, is that FAME means something other than what it seems. SARS means something other than just a sickness.
If you're reading to learn how to vandalize property, I suggest you find another source. If you're serious about making things beautiful, about the ART part of graffiti, about the calligraphy flow of this underdog art form, then I welcome you to my world.
Because once in, there's a big wall behind you that's about to prevent you from turning back.

# For Chapter 2's exercises, we created an XML document, schema, and stylesheet to define a museum entity. Change that stylesheet to transform that XML document into another XML document, instead of into HTML.
# In Chapter 4 we created an XML document, schema, and stylesheet to list restaurants, including the most popular, in a city.
#* a. Create a new stylesheet that uses a named template to output the name of the city. Then use two templates with different modes to print out the restaurants, using a larger font for the most popular restaurant.
#* b. Now create a stylesheet that will sort the restaurant names alphabetically, and number them using the <tt>number()</tt> function and a single level of numbering.
#* c. Finally, we will use the <tt>call-template</tt> and <tt>with-param</tt> elements to create a stylesheet that will count the restaurants in a city, and add the prices up, and output it to a text file. This stylesheet will first call a template named "count-restaurants" and will use <tt>with-param</tt> to pass a parameter to count the restaurants. Then it will call a template named "sum-prices" that will use <tt>with-param</tt> to pass the parameter "num" to sum() the upper price for the restaurant.

This chapter introduces you to the basics of decision theory and how it can be applied to improve your decisions. It starts with a review of material in ''Smart Choices'', a book written by John Hammond, Ralph Keeney, and Howard Raiffa, experts from the Harvard Business School in the field of decision theory and its application in business. (An MBA program is largely the study of how to improve decisions important to business, and decision theory is a key component of this study.) It continues with a discussion of our goals for models intended to help us predict and explain social behavior. We see that our modeling focuses only upon the most important factors necessary to predict and explain, even if we must sacrifice a complete or accurate description of the individual’s actual decision making process.
== Components of a Good Decision ==
We want the models that we will eventually build throughout this course to help us in predicting and explaining social behavior around us. Since we will be examining a class of models based upon individuals choosing alternatives that promote their self interest, it will be important for us to know what it means exactly for a choice to be rational and to which situations different levels of rationality might fruitfully be applied. To help us understand “rationality” better, to help us in modeling what decisions are actually made, we will first consider advice on improving the rationality of your decisions, or what decisions should be made. How should you decide to best meet your goals? What constitutes a rational choice?
Some decisions in your life will be fairly easy, but most of the important ones will be tough and complex with no obvious choice as the best. Even though a great deal may be at stake, for you and for those around you that you care about, with these tough decisions we risk anxiety from confusion and doubt and the fear of error, regret, and embarrassment. We want to provide you with an anxiety-reducing structure or process to help you with these important, tough decisions.
=== Find feasible alternatives ===
Decision theory separates the selection of choices to be considered feasible from how to choose among these choices. It, thus, separates the analysis of what is feasible from the analysis of what is good. Each of these two key steps can also be broken into key components. This divide-and-conquer approach is an important benefit from the use of decision theory. Your assumptions, data, and logic become clear, where they might not be otherwise. As we will see later, separating the analysis of the feasible from analysis of the good is a major benefit from the use of game theory as well.
Ideally, you want to consider all possible feasible alternatives, rank them in order of your preferences, and then choose the best. In practice, the set of all possible alternatives may not be obvious. Further, many feasible options may be clearly sub-optimal, so for simplicity’s sake you might omit them from consideration. Even so, the alternatives in your model represent the range of potential choices you will have for pursuing your objectives. Since you’ll eventually be choosing the best among the alternatives that you consider, make sure that you include all possible best alternatives.
==== Reconsider the scope of your problem ====
“A good solution to a well-posed decision problem is almost always a smarter choice than an excellent solution to a poorly posed one.” (16) Be creative about defining your problem; it is often broader than it first appears. The trigger that initiated the decision may suggest a relatively narrow problem, but upon reconsideration you learn that broader issues are involved and should be considered. For example, changes considered to deal with the trigger may open up complementary changes that would not be considered otherwise. (see p.18 for example)
In defining the problem consider the following: What is the trigger? What are the constraints to the problem? What are the essential elements of the problem? What decisions impinge on or hinge upon this decision? Can this problem be broken into smaller parts? After you have asked and answered these questions, talk with others about this problem, either experts that have a similar problem before or non-experts that have your interests at heart. You may gain insight just from your explaining your thinking, as well as from any advice itself.
Crafting an appropriate definition takes time, and it often can’t be done effectively in one sitting. Like the crafting of an introductory paragraph for a Freshman Studies paper, the problem definition often needs reworking as the body is developed. Like that introductory paragraph, keep revisiting it as your analysis proceeds. Reconsidering the problem definition is especially important when circumstances change rapidly or new information becomes available. Remember, if you have an inappropriate problem definition, at best, you may go very fast—but in the wrong direction.
;use your objectives and work backwards — ask “how?” :Make sure that each of the constraints that limit your alternatives is real. If not, eliminate it. Even if they are real, can you find any ways around these constraints?
;challenge constraints :Make sure that each of the constraints that limit your alternatives is real. If not, eliminate it. Even if they are real, can you find any ways around these constraints?
;set aspirations high :“One way to increase the chance of finding good, unconventional alternatives is to set targets that seem beyond reach.” (51) Start with an alternative with a great outcome, but one that is also infeasible, and then modify it to make it feasible.
;give your subconscious time to operate :Your mind doesn’t work just by direct attack. If you start on the problem early, you give yourself time to be reconsidering the problem in a “low” mode while doing something else (a shower? drifting off to sleep? working on another problem?). Sometimes good ideas come. Start early and give yourself the chance.
==== learn from others ====
Find out what you and others have done in similar situations. What lessons do you learn from these other situations? What could have been done better?
Others may be able to provide some insights from earlier experience with similar situations or they may suggest new paths that you haven’t considered. Also, keep an open mind during your conversations with others. The primary benefit may not be the specific ideas that others provide, but simply the insights that you gain from organizing your thoughts into explanations and from answering questions.
At the same time, talking with others first may limit you to their framework of the problem. Think about the problem first yourself, since you may find a new approach.
==== consider more alternatives ====
;consider process alternatives :Especially when you need to justify your choice to others or have their approval, the best alternative may be a process for making a choice, rather than the choice itself. Could you use a voting mechanism? an auction? set standards that would then be applied after gathering more information?
;search for win-win alternatives :Again, especially when you need to justify your choice to others or have their approval, you should consider alternatives that make them better off as well as you. Put yourself in their shoes, and ask yourself how they might choose. Create alternatives where you both win.
;consider information-gathering alternatives :You may be dealing with important uncertainties. You might want to gather more information that would reduce this uncertainty. Another possibility is a choice that allows you to defer a complete decision that may allow you to gather useful information. Remember, though, that deferring a decision may mean other alternatives may disappear, and thus, have a price. (Consider how to deal with uncertainties and whether to gather more information with Chapters 7-9.)
For the most part you want to generate as many alternatives as possible to evaluate later. Be careful not to eliminate seemingly bad alternatives if they might be transformed into good ones. Even alternatives with a fatal flaw might be modified to eliminate the flaw and yield an exceptional candidate. Also, throughout the decision-making process keep looking for alternatives.
At the same time, some balance is needed here in considering new alternatives. You don’t want to spend time, money, and energy if there is no potential payoff. The model of your decision does not need to include all possible alternatives that may be taken—just all the possible best ones. Is the time, effort, and energy of this decision-making process with it? How much value and how much cost is likely to come from the extra effort?
=== Choose best among the feasible ===
Now that you’ve considered your decision problem and the alternative choices available to you, what do you really want to achieve? What are your goals? You need to know these goals to be able to evaluate your various alternatives.
a procedure for uncovering your objectives
write down all your concerns that you hope to address through your decision
convert your concerns into succinct objectives; use short phrases with verb and object (e.g. maximize profit, raise chance of re-election, reduce pollution)
separate ends from means to establish your fundamental objectives; these fundamental objectives will be used to evaluate the alternatives
clarify what you mean with each objective
test your objectives against several alternatives; are they consistent with your underlying feelings?
====understand the consequences of each alternative ====
From the choice of any alternative will come consequences, first the physical consequences, and then the consequences in terms of all of the objectives of your decision problem.
*Describe the physical consequences with appropriate accuracy, completeness, and precision
*Describe the consequences in terms of each of the objectives with a consequences table
*#as much as possible, experience the consequences — try before you buy
*#use common scales as much as possible
*#use scales with the appropriate level of precision
*#don’t rely exclusively on hard data; subjective assessments are important too
*#make the most of available information
*#use experts wisely; understand their assumptions as well as their conclusions
*#address uncertainty head on
====consider the tradeoffs between different objectives of each of the alternatives ====

==== eliminate dominated alternatives ====
With two alternatives, if the first is better in some objectives and no worse in any, the second alternative cannot be the best choice, and thus, can be eliminated. In the job example below, Job B is better than Job E with four objectives and equal with two. Therefore, eliminate Job E.
==== make tradeoffs clearer by subtracting equals====
In any comparison, since we are looking for differences to determine which is best, we can eliminate anything of equal value from all columns. We change the decision problem by substituting components of equal value, and then focus on differences, ignoring all parts of the outcomes that are of equal value. In the job example, we may eliminate $1800 of salary, health benefits, and 10 vacation days from all columns.
Try to subtract the most easily identified equals first. When evaluating the differences, is there a common scale for some of the objectives? When the difference in the number of vacation days is small, one additional vacation day may be worth $100 to Vincent. This would then mean that the monthly salary and vacation days rows can be combined by adding the salary and the value of the extra vacation days. With this change, Job A dominates Job D, and Job D can be eliminated.
Similarly, Vincent can hire someone to be with his ill father for those times that he could not be with him for $100 per month to make up the difference between low and high work schedule flexibility. After swapping $100 plus low flexibility for Job B with high flexibility for Job C, we find Job B now dominates Job C, and Job C can be eliminated.
Now all that remains of Vincent’s decision problem is to choose between Job A and Job B. Vincent needs to decide if the higher enjoyment, retirement benefits, and extra work schedule flexibility is worth more or less than an extra $400 in salary and better skill development. Vincent determines that the retirement benefits and extra work schedule flexibility are worth $200, so he must compare whether the remainder, the higher enjoyment with A is worth more or less than an extra $200 in salary and better skill development.
Often subtracting the most easily identified equals will allow enough alternatives to be eliminated that difficult tradeoffs may not be necessary to establish. Sometimes not, though. The tradeoffs may remain difficult. Unfortunately, no matter what choice you make, you are implicitly placing a value on these tradeoffs. You might as well confront the choices directly. Following the procedures above allows you to simplify your decision-making problem as much as possible to allow you to better understand the tradeoffs that you must face in your decision.
== Modeling Behavior as Rational Decisions ==
Now we want to shift our focus. Instead of examining how some person should make a decision, we want to examine what decisions people actually make. We are most interested in predicting and explaining decisions that we see made in some social behavior of interest. To do this, we want to construct a model that incorporates the most important features of some social behavior of interest that would help us predict and explain what we see. In doing this, we are certainly willing to sacrifice a complete description of some people, their environment, or the resulting behavior, if we can describe in as simple a way as possible what will happen and why.
=== Create models that predict and explain behavior ===
{{SideBox|[[Image:Albert Einstein Head.jpg|right|120px]]<br>''Everything <br>should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.'' <br>— Albert Einstein }}
One must always remember that a model is not intended to describe the fullness of actual behavior. It is only a stripped down version of the real thing, but one designed to determine how important factors influence observed behavior. The modeler consciously includes only those factors that he feels are most important. Especially at the beginning of an investigation, he keeps the model extremely simple. Once the effect of those few factors of an early model are understood, then he includes another to determine its effect, then another, and then another. To test the resulting logic, he adds and subtracts various factors, and applies his new models to various environments. And he compares his predicted results to actual choices made in similar environments. But even at the end, factors that at times may have some influence over some behavior may be left out. For the questions asked, these factors may add nothing of importance in predictive power and, in their inclusion, add such difficulty to obscure the essence of an appropriate explanation. These factors should not ever be included; the simplifying assumptions that omit these factors are to be encouraged. Note that a model that predicts and explains best always remains a simplified version of the world; it is not intended to be a description of the real thing.
Keeping a model simple not only improves the model's ability to explain, it also reduces the probability that mere chance explains the success of the model. A more parsimonious model, one that is more concise and simple, is more likely to be correct. We seek models that have parsimony.
A model with power, one that explains a large number of phenomena, also reduces the probability that mere chance explains the success of the model. A model with more power is more likely to be correct. We seek models that have more power.

</center></div>
At the same time, these models are not used within a vacuum. Each discipline shares common views and assumptions that they find most useful for making progress in their discipline. Some of the disciplines that study social behavior share paradigms based upon models of individuals furthering their own self interest. Some do not.
An objective of this course is to demonstrate that, compared to other views that could be used in each discipline that studies social behavior, models of individuals furthering their own self interest appear to predict observed behavior reasonably well in many contexts, they seem to explain why this behavior is occurring relatively simply and with great power. These models have sufficiently wide applicability that they may offer a common paradigm for the study of all social behavior. For especially those disciplines where practioners do not now generally share this view, much work is needed to test this view against others and to reassess which views are likely to be the most useful for making progress in these disciplines. For these disciplines, we may be in the midst of paradigmatic revolution.
=== All models are wrong, but some are useful if . . . ===
{{SideBox|''All models are wrong, but some are useful.'' — George Box}}
As would be expected if texts are needed to teach people how to make rational decisions, many actual decisions are made that do not meet the standards of a rational choice model. “Virtually no one believes that anything approximating such a procedure is observed in any individual or organization . . . for any number of . . . decision tasks that confront them. . . . Pure rationality strains credulity as a description of how decisions actually happen.” (March, 1994, 5)
In many actual decisions, we find (March, 1994, 8-9):
*Instead of considering all alternatives simultaneously, some decision makers appear to consider only a few of these alternatives and then look at them sequentially.
*Some decision makers do not consider all of the consequences of their alternatives: they focus on some and ignore others.
*Relevant information about consequences is not sought, and available information is often not used.
*Some decision makers implicitly use preferences that are incomplete and inconsistent.
*Some decision makers don’t choose their best alternative possible, but choose a choice that is good enough.
To make models more consistent with these concerns, modern decision theory sometimes modifies the rational choice model by changing the knowledge of the decision makers, the number of decision makers, loosening the restrictions on their preferences, or changing the decision rules that they use. Most importantly, they allow limited rationality. With this limited rationality, decision makers intend to be rational, but they are constrained by limited cognitive capabilities and incomplete information, and thus their actions may be less than completely rational, at least when compared to those that would be selected with costless decision making, in spite of their best intentions and efforts. The internal costs of making a decision lead them to decide in ways inconsistent with the rational choice model that does not include these internal costs.
Are these differences important for our purposes? Sometimes, sometimes not. For three reasons (or for combinations of these three reasons), the rational choice model can still remain appropriate.
In some decisions, the rational choice model may model the decision making process quite well. When a great deal is at stake, when the decision making environment is one in which the decision maker has a great deal of experience, and when the decision making environment is relatively simple, decisions may be made rationally. For these situations, certainly, the rational choice model is perfectly appropriate to predict and to explain observed behavior. Determining the situations to which this model applies then becomes a critical question.
In some other decisions, even when a decision maker does not decide as the rational choice model describes, she may act as if she does. For example, as a driver of an automobile, she may not know or understand all of the mechanics and physical forces at work in her car. Nevertheless, she has learned that when she moves her hands and feet in certain ways in certain situations, the car reacts in certain ways. With experience, she still may choose actions that maximize consistent preferences as if she understood all of this knowledge. The rational choice model would be perfectly appropriate to predict behavior in such situations. At the same time, it may be less valuable at explaining what is happening. The appropriateness of this model would then depend upon why we want to use it.
In other decisions, the rational choice model may not even be able to predict individual decisions very well, but aggregate behavior or average behavior may be quite accurate. For example, for some economic good, the quantities demanded by some individual consumers in this market may not always match the predictions from the rational choice model, but the aggregate over all consumers, the market demand, may be quite accurate. Some consumers may choose a bit more than the model predicts, while others choose a bit less, so that the aggregate is quite accurate. If our concern is this aggregate or average behavior, the rational choice model is useful. A more complete, limited rationality model may allow the observed “noise” around the rational-choice prediction, but if introducing this limited rationality doesn’t introduce any bias in the central tendency, the greater simplicity of the rational choice model may be valuable itself.
Remember that formal models have two purposes: We want to use them both to ''predict'' and to ''understand'' behavior under specified circumstances. These two purposes also have conflicting needs. Prediction usually improves if more and more factors that have any impact at all are included within the model. Understanding usually improves if fewer factors are included within the model. The goal then is to include only those factors that have an important effect without significantly changing the reasons behind the prediction. This means we always want to include any assumption that omits a factor that does not change the prediction of the model, a '''simplifying assumption''', but for other assumptions, how "important" the effect has to be and how "significant" a change in the reasons behind the prediction for some factor to be included within the model depends upon the questions to be asked of it.
In any event, we will return later to consider how observed behavior sometimes does not match up with the predictions from our rational choice models. We reconsider situations where rational choice models seem more likely to apply, and how this might alter the models that we might want to use and when we might want to use them. Also, since we will be examining social behavior in many different contexts, we will look for similarities across many different types of social behavior. As a first attempt, we will assume that when reasonable people who have the same goals are put into similar situations, they tend to make similar choices.

After swapping $100 plus low flexibility for Job B with high flexibility for Job C, we find Job B now dominates Job C, and Job C can be eliminated.
Now all that remains of Vincent’s decision problem is to choose between Job A and Job B. Vincent needs to decide if the higher enjoyment, retirement benefits, and extra work schedule flexibility is worth more or less than an extra $400 in salary and better skill development. Vincent determines that the retirement benefits and extra work schedule flexibility are worth $200, so he must compare whether the remainder, the higher enjoyment with A is worth more or less than an extra $200 in salary and better skill development.
Often subtracting the most easily identified equals will allow enough alternatives to be eliminated that difficult tradeoffs may not be necessary to establish. Sometimes not, though. The tradeoffs may remain difficult. Unfortunately, no matter what choice you make, you are implicitly placing a value on these tradeoffs. You might as well confront the choices directly. Following the procedures above allows you to simplify your decision-making problem as much as possible to allow you to better understand the tradeoffs that you must face in your decision.
== Modeling Behavior as Rational Decisions ==
Now we want to shift our focus. Instead of examining how some person should make a decision, we want to examine what decisions people actually make. We are most interested in predicting and explaining decisions that we see made in some social behavior of interest. To do this, we want to construct a model that incorporates the most important features of some social behavior of interest that would help us predict and explain what we see. In doing this, we are certainly willing to sacrifice a complete description of some people, their environment, or the resulting behavior, if we can describe in as simple a way as possible what will happen and why.
=== Create models that predict and explain behavior ===
{{SideBox|[[Image:Albert Einstein Head.jpg|right|120px]]<br>''Everything <br>should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.'' <br>— Albert Einstein }}
One must always remember that a model is not intended to describe the fullness of actual behavior. It is only a stripped down version of the real thing, but one designed to determine how important factors influence observed behavior. The modeler consciously includes only those factors that he feels are most important. Especially at the beginning of an investigation, he keeps the model extremely simple. Once the effect of those few factors of an early model are understood, then he includes another to determine its effect, then another, and then another. To test the resulting logic, he adds and subtracts various factors, and applies his new models to various environments. And he compares his predicted results to actual choices made in similar environments. But even at the end, factors that at times may have some influence over some behavior may be left out. For the questions asked, these factors may add nothing of importance in predictive power and, in their inclusion, add such difficulty to obscure the essence of an appropriate explanation. These factors should not ever be included; the simplifying assumptions that omit these factors are to be encouraged. Note that a model that predicts and explains best always remains a simplified version of the world; it is not intended to be a description of the real thing.
Keeping a model simple not only improves the model's ability to explain, it also reduces the probability that mere chance explains the success of the model. A more parsimonious model, one that is more concise and simple, is more likely to be correct. We seek models that have parsimony.
A model with power, one that explains a large number of phenomena, also reduces the probability that mere chance explains the success of the model. A model with more power is more likely to be correct. We seek models that have more power.

At the same time, these models are not used within a vacuum. Each discipline shares common views and assumptions that they find most useful for making progress in their discipline. Some of the disciplines that study social behavior share paradigms based upon models of individuals furthering their own self interest. Some do not.
An objective of this course is to demonstrate that, compared to other views that could be used in each discipline that studies social behavior, models of individuals furthering their own self interest appear to predict observed behavior reasonably well in many contexts, they seem to explain why this behavior is occurring relatively simply and with great power. These models have sufficiently wide applicability that they may offer a common paradigm for the study of all social behavior. For especially those disciplines where practioners do not now generally share this view, much work is needed to test this view against others and to reassess which views are likely to be the most useful for making progress in these disciplines. For these disciplines, we may be in the midst of paradigmatic revolution.
=== All models are wrong, but some are useful if . . . ===
{{SideBox|''All models are wrong, but some are useful.'' — George Box}}
As would be expected if texts are needed to teach people how to make rational decisions, many actual decisions are made that do not meet the standards of a rational choice model. “Virtually no one believes that anything approximating such a procedure is observed in any individual or organization . . . for any number of . . . decision tasks that confront them. . . . Pure rationality strains credulity as a description of how decisions actually happen.” (March, 1994, 5)
In many actual decisions, we find (March, 1994, 8-9):
*Instead of considering all alternatives simultaneously, some decision makers appear to consider only a few of these alternatives and then look at them sequentially.
*Some decision makers do not consider all of the consequences of their alternatives: they focus on some and ignore others.
*Relevant information about consequences is not sought, and available information is often not used.
*Some decision makers implicitly use preferences that are incomplete and inconsistent.
*Some decision makers don’t choose their best alternative possible, but choose a choice that is good enough.
To make models more consistent with these concerns, modern decision theory sometimes modifies the rational choice model by changing the knowledge of the decision makers, the number of decision makers, loosening the restrictions on their preferences, or changing the decision rules that they use. Most importantly, they allow limited rationality. With this limited rationality, decision makers intend to be rational, but they are constrained by limited cognitive capabilities and incomplete information, and thus their actions may be less than completely rational, at least when compared to those that would be selected with costless decision making, in spite of their best intentions and efforts. The internal costs of making a decision lead them to decide in ways inconsistent with the rational choice model that does not include these internal costs.
Are these differences important for our purposes? Sometimes, sometimes not. For three reasons (or for combinations of these three reasons), the rational choice model can still remain appropriate.
In some decisions, the rational choice model may model the decision making process quite well. When a great deal is at stake, when the decision making environment is one in which the decision maker has a great deal of experience, and when the decision making environment is relatively simple, decisions may be made rationally. For these situations, certainly, the rational choice model is perfectly appropriate to predict and to explain observed behavior. Determining the situations to which this model applies then becomes a critical question.
In some other decisions, even when a decision maker does not decide as the rational choice model describes, she may act as if she does. For example, as a driver of an automobile, she may not know or understand all of the mechanics and physical forces at work in her car. Nevertheless, she has learned that when she moves her hands and feet in certain ways in certain situations, the car reacts in certain ways. With experience, she still may choose actions that maximize consistent preferences as if she understood all of this knowledge. The rational choice model would be perfectly appropriate to predict behavior in such situations. At the same time, it may be less valuable at explaining what is happening. The appropriateness of this model would then depend upon why we want to use it.
In other decisions, the rational choice model may not even be able to predict individual decisions very well, but aggregate behavior or average behavior may be quite accurate. For example, for some economic good, the quantities demanded by some individual consumers in this market may not always match the predictions from the rational choice model, but the aggregate over all consumers, the market demand, may be quite accurate. Some consumers may choose a bit more than the model predicts, while others choose a bit less, so that the aggregate is quite accurate. If our concern is this aggregate or average behavior, the rational choice model is useful. A more complete, limited rationality model may allow the observed “noise” around the rational-choice prediction, but if introducing this limited rationality doesn’t introduce any bias in the central tendency, the greater simplicity of the rational choice model may be valuable itself.
Remember that formal models have two purposes: We want to use them both to ''predict'' and to ''understand'' behavior under specified circumstances. These two purposes also have conflicting needs. Prediction usually improves if more and more factors that have any impact at all are included within the model. Understanding usually improves if fewer factors are included within the model. The goal then is to include only those factors that have an important effect without significantly changing the reasons behind the prediction. This means we always want to include any assumption that omits a factor that does not change the prediction of the model, a '''simplifying assumption''', but for other assumptions, how "important" the effect has to be and how "significant" a change in the reasons behind the prediction for some factor to be included within the model depends upon the questions to be asked of it.
In any event, we will return later to consider how observed behavior sometimes does not match up with the predictions from our rational choice models. We reconsider situations where rational choice models seem more likely to apply, and how this might alter the models that we might want to use and when we might want to use them. Also, since we will be examining social behavior in many different contexts, we will look for similarities across many different types of social behavior. As a first attempt, we will assume that when reasonable people who have the same goals are put into similar situations, they tend to make similar choices.

{{Sexual Health}}
Sexual reproduction requires genes from two different individuals, a male and a female. To produce healthy infants these individuals should not be closely related, since natural selection suggests that the greater diversity of parents, the better chance of adaptation and thus survival the infant will enjoy.
{{wikipedia|Female reproductive system (human)}}{{wikipedia|Male reproductive system (human)}}
== Puberty ==
{{SideBox|'''Note:'''<br>Puberty can happen anywhere from 8 years old to 14 years old.}}
Puberty is the phase of development that begins the sexual processes. In females, puberty triggers the beginning of the '''menstrual cycle''', and the development of the breasts. In males, puberty causes the penis and testicles to grow in size, and signals the beginning of nocturnal emissions and sperm production. In anyone, puberty causes body hair (and facial hair, in males) to begin appearing. During puberty, hair will start to grow under the armpits, in the groin, and on the chest and back. Leg and arm hair will also become thicker and darker.
==Chest, Nipples, and Breasts==
In both sexes, nipples and the areas around them are frequently sensitive and responsive to sexual contact. Nipples may be soft or erect. Nipples become erect in response to changes in temperature, sexual contact, and other stimuli.
In the tissue surrounding the nipples, both males and females have milk ducts. In females, these glands are stimulated to produce milk by the hormones associated with pregnancy and delivery. In both sexes, certain kinds of nipple stimulation (such as from a breast pump), certain drugs, and certain hormonal disorders may cause non-pregnancy related milk production.
In females, fatty tissue is formed around the nipples during puberty. These are referred to as breasts, although the entire area may be referred to as a female's chest. In males, this area is simply referred to as the chest.
==Male==
===Anatomy===
The male genitals consist of the penis and the testicles. The apparent size of a male genitalia depends on a number of factors, as they become pendulous (hanging down) when warm and relaxed but withdraw tight against the groin when experiencing cold or fear. This may have provided an evolutionary advantage to our ancestors.
==== Penis ====
The penis is a long, tube-like organ that is in the front of a man's body, in the groin area. The base of the penis connects in the groin (lower middle abdomen between the legs. The length of the penis is unimportant for reproduction, fertility or manliness, and can vary between 5cm and 20cm (2-8 inches) with an average of about 13cm (5 inches) for an erect adult over age 18. The middle area (the "shaft" of the penis) terminates in a pink gland where the urethra is exposed (the "head" of the penis). The base of the penis is frequently covered in pubic hair. The head of the penis is covered by the foreskin, which can be pulled back to expose the head itself. Men who are '''circumsized''' have had their foreskins removed (typically as infants).

| [[Image:Penis parts.png]]
| Diagram of the penis showing:<br>

b) Shaft <br>
c) Glans <br>

|}
The penis can be either "flaccid" (hanging down, soft, small) or "erect" (pointing upwards or outwards, hard, larger and longer). A penis is flaccid most of the time, and urination is difficult or impossible whilst the penis is erect.
A penis becomes erect (tumescent or '''hard''') in anticipation of sexual intercourse. Anticipation is not necessarily under conscious control, and erections can occur for no obvious reason. Orgasm (sexual climax or '''The Feeling''') is difficult or impossible whilst the penis is flaccid. Ejaculation of semen usually but not necessarily occurs simultaneously with orgasm. Pre-emission refers to naturally produced fluid lubricant which may sometimes be excreted prior to ejaculation.
==== Testicles ====
The testicles hang below the penis, and are covered by a patch of skin called the '''scrotum'''. The scrotum is typically covered in pubic hair, and is sensitive to sexual contact. Testicles produce sperm, and the hormone called "testosterone", among other things. Testosterone is a hormone that causes men to develop male secondary sex characters.
The testicles must remain several degrees below normal body temperature to produce healthy sperm. This is the reason why the testicles hang outside of the body in the scrotum. The muscles in the scrotum can expand and contract, to change the shape of the scrotum. If a man is hot, the muscles in the scrotum will lengthen, causing the testicles to move away from the body (thus cooling off the testicles). If a man is cold, the muscles in the scrotum will shorten, causing the testicles to move closer to the body (warming up the testicles).
Testicles may swell uncomfortably if a male has extended sexual stimulation without ejaculation. This is colloquially known as "blue balls" and is not a harmful condition.
Testicular cancer is one of the most common cancers in young men. It is important for men to examine their size and shape is constant on a regular basis, and do not produce pain when handled gently. If there is any change, an early consultation without delay is essential for effective treatment.
====Vas deferens====
Each testicle has a tiny duct connecting it to the penis. These ducts are known as the vas deferens, and they are the path sperm take from the testicles into the penis during ejaculation. It is these ducts that are severed in a vasectomy (male sterilization). If conducted before puberty, vasectomy can arrest sexual development, as in medieval Castrati (male singers) in whom cutting the vas deferens was said to make a vast difference (to the voice). Their testicles were not usually removed (actual castration) Such interventions are now strictly prohibited as a serious affront to the boy's human rights, since he can not give informed consent for life-changing operations at such a young age.
==== Semen ====
'''Semen''' is a combination of fluids from multiple glands, and sperm from the testicles. During ejaculation, semen comes out of the erect penis. In some cases, semen squirts or shoots out vigorously, while at other times the semen oozes out slowly and does not travel any distance. Both situations are normal, and both force and volume of ejaculation is unimportant.
Semen can carry STDs and other germs into a partner, so contact with semen should be minimized, and condom protection should always be used during any overtly sexual activity.
Some people choose to take semen into their mouth, and may swallow semen as well. Oral ingestion of semen is not likely to be harmful, but there are no health benefits. There is some risk of transmission of STDs, especially if there are open wounds or sores in the mouth or on the lips. For this reason, it is recommended that people should use protection such as a condom when performing oral sex (described later), and get tested for STDs regularly.
==== Prostate ====
The '''prostate''' is one of the glands that contributes fluid to semen. The prostate can be stimulated directly through the perineum (skin between the testicles and anus) or from inside the anus, a practice that some men find pleasurable. Prostates are at risk for developing cancer, especially in older men. For this reason, men should get prostate exams regularly <!--beginning at what age? --> to check for cancer and other disorders.
=== Nocturnal Emissions ===
Boys of any age may naturally become aroused during sleep and may experience orgasm voluntarily or involuntarily. Those who have passed puberty can experience a phenomenon known as "nocturnal emission". Nocturnal emissions occur at night, while sleeping, and are involuntary releases semen while sleeping. Typically, the emission of semen is the first sign that a young man has reached puberty and is producing sperm normally.
Nocturnal emissions may occur more frequently when ejaculation is not achieved consciously on a regular basis.
== Female ==
===Anatomy===
Unlike the male penis and testicles, female reproductive anatomy is almost entirely internal. The components that are externally visible are known as the vulva.
====Vulva====
[[Image:Vulva anatomy.jpg|thumb|right|Diagram of a vulva with component parts labeled.]]
There is a small structure called the '''clitoris''' at the front of the vulva. The clitoris is very sensitive to stimulation. During fetal development, the cells that in males develop into the penis, in females develop into the clitoris. The clitoris has more nerve endings than a male's penis, and even light stimulation can cause sensations of pain or discomfort. The clitoris is surrounded by folds of flesh known as the clitoral hood. The clitoral hood can be pulled back to expose the tip of the clitoris underneath.
Immediately below the clitoris is the urethra. This opening is connected to the bladder, and is where urine is expelled.
The largest feature of the vulva is the vaginal canal, or vagina. The vaginal canal is a fleshy tube, between 3-5 inches deep (but made of stretchable membranes) that opens between the legs, and connects to the uterus.
On each side of the vaginal opening is a Bartholin's gland. The vaginal canal and Bartholin's glands produce lubricating fluid in response to sexual stimulus. Sometimes these glands become clogged, and develop into a Bartholin's cyst. Usually these cysts resolve on their own, but if they are painful, unusually large, or persist for a long period of time, they should be evaluated by a doctor.
Inside the vagina, toward the front of the body, is an area of spongy tissue known as the Gräfenberg spot, or G-spot. This tissue may be related to Skene's glands (the female equivalent of the prostate), or may connect to the interior portion of the clitoris. Some women find stimulation of this area enjoyable.
The clitoris, urethra, and the vaginal opening are surrounded on both sides by the labial lips. The labia is divided into an inner and an outer set of lips, "the labia minora" and "the labia majora", respectively. The labia serve as protective coverings for the clitoris and the vaginal canal, and are also responsive to sexual contact. It is more common for the labia majora to be larger and completely enclose the labia minora. However, it is also normal for the labia minora to be larger and protrude somewhat from the labia majora.
==== Cervix ====
[[Image:Scheme_female_reproductive_system-en.svg|thumb|right|A pictorial illustration of the female reproductive system.]]
The cervix is the muscle connecting the uterus and the vaginal canal. The opening in the cervix is called the cervical os. The size of the os changes throughout a woman's menstrual cycle, being more open during menstruation, and also near ovulation, and more closed at other times. The rigidity of the cervix also varies, from being soft like a person's lips, to being more firm like a person's nose.
Glands inside the cervix, known as cervical crypts, produce a substance known as cervical mucus or cervical fluid. Cervical mucus is usually thick, sticky, and acidic (to help kill any infectious microorganisms, and to physically block the entrance into the uterus). In the several days before ovulation, however, cervical mucus increases in water content, becomes less acidic, and develops a texture that helps guide sperm into the uterus. At this time, cervical mucus may resemble hand lotion, or raw egg white.
Cervical cancer is caused by certain strains of HPV, a sexually transmitted disease. It is important to use barrier protection during intercourse to reduce the risk of STDs, and for sexually active women to receive regular pap smears to screen for precancerous changes.
==== Uterus ====
The uterus is a pear-shaped organ about the size of a fist. Two small conduits, called '''fallopian tubes''' extend from each side of the uterus. Each fallopian tube ends with a structure called a fimbria, which catches eggs after ovulation and guides them into the fallopian tube.
The lining of the uterus is called the endometrium. Several days before ovulation, the endometrium begins to become thicker and grows new blood vessels. If pregnancy does not occur, the endometrium is shed approximately two weeks after ovulation. This shedding of the endometrium is known as menstruation.
==== Ovaries ====
The ovaries are the location of a female's gametes (eggs), and are analogous to the male testicles (which contain the male gametes, sperm). Ovaries release eggs, also called ova (or ovum if it is just one) into the '''fallopian tubes'''. Ovaries also produce '''estrogen''', which is the dominant female sex hormone. Estrogen causes the body to feminize, and is the reason why women grow breasts, and undergo other changes at puberty.
{{-}}
=== Menstrual Cycle ===
Human females begin menstruating, or having periods, as part of puberty. A girl's first menstruation is called ''menarche'', and usually happens between the ages of eight and sixteen. After menarche, menstruation typically continues to occur at regular intervals - this is called a ''menstrual cycle''. Women stop having menstrual cycles when they enter ''menopause'', most commonly between the ages of forty-five and fifty-eight.
{{wikipedia|Menstrual cycle}}
The bleeding of menstruation is the most obvious part of the menstrual cycle. However, there is one other important feature: ovulation. The time between menstruation and ovulation is called the ''follicular phase'', because this is when follicles on the ovaries begin growing. On average, the follicular phase lasts fourteen days, however this varies widely from woman to woman and also from cycle to cycle.
When one of the growing follicles reaches maturity, the ovum (egg) bursts through the ovarian wall. This event is known as ovulation. (The remaining follicles atrophy, or die). Many women experience pain associated with ovulation - this is called ''mittelschmerz''.
The time between ovulation and menstruation is on average fourteen days, however this may vary from woman to woman. Some women have post-ovulatory, or ''luteal phases'' of ten days, while others may have luteal phases sixteen days long.
==== PMS and PMDD ====
Prior to menstruation, a woman can experience certain hormonal and chemical changes in her body that can lead to a period of physical and psychological stress known as '''premenstrual syndrome''', or PMS. PMS is usually characterized by cramping, bloating and water retention, moodiness and discomfort. PMS is not always experienced, and it is not experienced in all women, but it is considered a normal part of the menstrual cycle.
However, some women experience an extreme form of PMS known as '''Premenstral dysphoric disorder''', or PMDD. PMDD is a more serious condition characterized by extreme moodiness, mood swings, and depression. PMDD can frequently be treated medically with success.

This article was written by Andrew Lindesay (http://www.lindesay.co.nz) around May 2005. It first appeared as LaTeX PDF and has been transcribed into this Wiki. You use the information contained in this document at your own risk. Please contact the author if you feel there may have been an error in the conversion to Wiki markup.
== Abstract ==
From WebObjects 5.2, it has been possible to derive a build product from a WebObjects application project that can be deployed into a J2EE servlet container. This article shows how it is possible to
deploy a WebObjects 5.2 application into a Tomcat environment and achieve a very similar topology to the ”native” WebObjects deploy.
== Introduction ==
This document was originally written assuming a Tomcat 5 deployment, but after some difficulties with web services and AXIS, I have modified this document to also cater for a Tomcat 3 deployment. This document covers both circumstances.
== Assumptions ==
This article assumes the following:
* WebObjects 5.2 (likely to work fine with newer versions)
* Java 1.4
* Latest Tomcat release of version 5 (5.5.12 at the time of writing) or 3 (3.3.2 at the time of writing)
* Some sort of UNIX deployment.
* The reader has some conception of the concepts behind servlet technology.
* The reader is familiar with a standard WebObjects deployment topology which will be referred to as ''wotaskd'' deployment.
For the purposes of this document, it is assumed that Tomcat has been installed at a directory on the local disc called <tt>$TOMCATDIR</tt>. It is also assumed that you will have another directory with the files required to configure and run an instance called <tt>$INSTDIR</tt>. It is assumed also that you will have a directory called <tt>$JKDIR</tt> with the Tomcat apache adaptor in it. In this article, some configuration files require the paths to be shown and these are tabulated below.
{|style="margin:auto;"
| <tt>$TOMCATDIR</tt>
| <tt>/opt/tomcat</tt>
|-
| <tt>$INSTDIR</tt>
| <tt>/opt/fooapp</tt>
|-
| <tt>$JKDIR</tt>
| <tt>/opt/modjk</tt>
|}
In reality, these directories could be located anywhere.
=== Objective ===
The objective of this article is to show that a WebObjects application can be deployed into a servlet container and keep some of the desirable attributes of a WebObjects deployment topology. Some of these traits are itemised below.
* Clustering over a number of hardware nodes to prevent system downtime from a single hardware failure incident.
* Clustering over a number of virtual machine ''instances'' on each hardware node to avoid downtime from a single software failure incident.
* Ability to make efficient use of lower cost server hardware rather than encouraging use of large, expensive servers.
* Make maximum use of memory availabile in each virtual machine as cache to minimise database traffic and lower stress on the database server.
* Ability to make sessions "sticky" to a given virtual machine ''instance'', whilst being multiplexed through a single web server front-end adaptor.
* Ability to load-balance requests to instances which are operational.
A standard WebObjects deployment topology is shown in the figure below alongside what is to be achieved with Tomcat. A typical J2EE deployment may have a different topology from this.

Creating a servlet build product from a WebObjects application project is covered in some depth by documentation that is supplied by Apple for WebObjects. This is not going to be repeated here, but here is a brief overview of the process.
* Include the <tt>JavaWOJSPServlet.framework</tt> framework into your project.
* In the build settings, set the <tt>SERVLET_SINGLE_DIR_DEPLOY</tt> value to <tt>YES</tt> to create the most trouble-free form of deployment servlet.
* Edit the <tt>SERVLET_DEPLOY_LICENSE</tt> to contain your valid deployment license key if you need one for the version of WebObjects you are using.
* Edit the <tt>SERVLET_WEBAPPS_DIR</tt> to point to <tt>$INSTDIR/webapps/</tt> or some place where you want the build product to go.
Now when you choose a ''Deployment'' build, you will also get the servlet assembled. The end result is a directory structure similar to that shown in the figure below.

== Removing the DOCTYPE from .plist Files ==
Many property-list files (often called plist files) have a document type at the top. This can refer to files on a MacOS-X machine or to files on Apple servers. In either case this can cause problems with deployments which are not on MacOS-X servers. The following script can be run with the argument of the <tt>WEB-INF</tt> folder to remove these. The WebObjects application runs fine without this information in the plist files. This script can easily be incorporated one way or another as a step in the build process for your WebObjects project.
<pre>
# [apl 3.may.2006]
# This will remove any DOCTYPE's from the top of plists so that
# they do not attempt to validate the DTD which is either
# extracted from /System or the internet over HTTP.
if [ -z $1 ]; then
echo "syntax: stripdocype.sh <directory>"
exit 1
fi
for PLISTFILE in `find $1 -name *.plist`
do
sed \
'/<!DOCTYPE [^>]*>/s/.*//' \
$PLISTFILE \
> /tmp/remove-plist-temp
cp /tmp/remove-plist-temp $PLISTFILE
done
</pre>
== Application Configuration with Tomcat ==
A WebObjects project with servlet support has a file called <tt>web.xml.template</tt> in it. By default, this is located in <tt>/Resources/Servlet Resources/WEB-INF</tt> in your project. The <tt>web.xml.template</tt> file is used as a template for creating <tt>web.xml</tt> which is also known as the <tt>servlet deployment descriptor</tt>. This deployment descriptor is used as the means of communicating settings to the application as well as the servlet container in which the application runs. This section covers some common changes to that file as well as a discussion around a means of general configuration of the application when it is running inside a servlet container.
=== Data Source for Model Database Configuration ===
Some WebObjects engineers use the <tt>setConnectionDictionary(...)</tt> method on a model to set the JDBC database connection parameters for the model. However, the servlet container has it's own <tt>data source</tt> mechanism for supplying database information which will override any connection dictionary information which is set into the model. If you don't want this to happen, and you want your <tt>setConnectionDictionary(...)</tt> to take effect, comment out the <tt>resource-ref</tt> item with the title <tt>jdbc/DefaultDataSource</tt> in the <tt>web.xml.template</tt> file.
=== Serving WebServerResources ===
To stop the web server resources (images, CSS files and other static data) from being served out of the java environment, you need to configure the <tt>context-param</tt> with the name <tt>WOAppMode</tt> to be <tt>Deployment</tt> in the <tt>web.xml.template</tt> file.
=== Application Specific Configuration ===
This area of configuration covers items such as the following fictitious examples;
# Email address of person to contact when system fails.
# Frequency of polling some resource.
# Optional connection information for databases.
# GST rate for New Zealand.
In other words, these are application-specific configuration values. One way to configure your application specific parameters in a servlet container is to load your config into <tt>env-entry</tt>-s in your <tt>web.xml</tt> file. Here is such an example of one such entry;
<pre>
<env-entry>
<env-entry-name>foo/nz.co.foo.FooAppMailFrom</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-value>bar@foo.co.nz</env-entry-value>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
</env-entry>
</pre>
You can retrieve these value inside the application with some code as shown below. See the LEConfig class from LEWOStuff, the WebObjects framework from Lindesay Electric for an example. LEWOStuff also comes with a tool to help load standard java properties files into the servlet deployment descriptor.
<pre>
import javax.naming.*;
// ...later in the same class...
Object valueO = null;
try
{
InitialContext context = new InitialContext();
valueO = context.lookup("java:comp/env/foo/nz.co.foo.FooAppMailFrom");
}
catch(javax.naming.NamingException ne)
{ /* handle gracefully */ }
</pre>
It is probably easiest to apply these settings in some automated fashion to the <tt>web.xml</tt> file as part of a further automated build or deploy process.
=== Application Binary ===
Put your application servlet build product at <tt>$INSTDIR</tt> such that the following path exists.
<pre>
$INSTDIR/webapps/FooApp/WEB-INF
</pre>
=== Tomcat Server Configuration Files ===
You need to create a tomcat configuration file for each of the instances that you would like to have. The pattern is followed here of having an instance number proceeded by the lower case letter "i". Put the first server configuration file at the following location.
<pre>
$INSTDIR/server_i1.xml
</pre>
Here is an example of how this file might look. There is no coverage of the individual settings here as the reader is expected to review the tomcat documentation to discover the specific meanings of these settings.
==== Tomcat 5 ====
<pre>
<Server port="7071" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
<Service name="Catalina">
<Connector port="8081" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" acceptCount="100"
connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" />
<Connector port="9091" enableLookups="false" protocol="AJP/1.3" />
<Engine name="i1" defaultHost="appserver1.foo.co.nz" jvmRoute="i1">
<Host name="appserver1.foo.co.nz"
appBase="/home/fooapp/webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="false"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Context cookies="false" docBase="FooApp"
path="FooApp" reloadable="false">
<Manager distributable="false" />
</Context>
</Host>
</Engine>
</Service>
</Server>
</pre>
==== Tomcat 3 ====
<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<Server>
<ContextManager workDir="work">
<LoaderInterceptor11 useApplicationLoader="true" />
<AutoDeploy source="modules" target="modules" redeploy="true" />
<AutoWebApp dir="modules" host="DEFAULT" trusted="true"/>
<AutoWebApp dir="/home/fooapp/webapps" trusted="true" reloadable="false" />
<SimpleMapper1 />
<SessionExpirer checkInterval="60" />
<SessionIdGenerator randomClass="java.security.SecureRandom" />
<WebXmlReader validate="false" />
<ErrorHandler showDebugInfo="true" />
<Jdk12Interceptor />
<LoadOnStartupInterceptor />
<Servlet22Interceptor />
<SessionId cookiesFirst="false" noCookies="true" />
<SimpleSessionStore maxActiveSessions="256" />
<Http10Connector port="8081" secure="false" />
<Ajp13Connector port="9091" tomcatAuthentication="false" shutdownEnable="true" />
</ContextManager>
</Server>
</pre>
Assuming that there will be three instances in this example deploy, this entire file should be replicated and modified twice for the other two instances. For the other instances' server configuration files, change the "i1" (Tomcat 5 only) by modifying the numerical component and change the port numbers by making the last digit the instance number. For example, the ports <tt>7071</tt>, <tt>8081</tt> and <tt>9091</tt> are used here. For "i2", use <tt>7072</tt>, <tt>8082</tt> and <tt>9092</tt>.
You should have three files now present called <tt>server_i1.xml</tt>, <tt>server_i2.xml</tt> and <tt>server_i3.xml</tt> in the directory <tt>$INSTDIR</tt>.
=== Startup An Instance ===
To startup an instance, issue a command as follows. You should issue this command for each of the server configuration files. The <tt>$JAVA_HOME</tt> shell environment variable should have been setup correctly before launching an instance.
==== Tomcat 5 ====
<pre>
$TOMCATDIR/bin/startup.sh -config $INSTDIR/server_i1.xml
</pre>
==== Tomcat 3 ====
<pre>
$TOMCATDIR/bin/startup -config $INSTDIR/server_i1.xml -home $TOMCATDIR
</pre>
==== Tomcat 3 Environment Variables ====
To pass java environment variables to your application, set the <tt>TOMCAT_OPTS</tt> shell environment variable before starting up the Tomcat 3 environment. An example of this would be as follows;
<pre>
TOMCAT_OPTS=-Dabc=xyz
export TOMCAT_OPTS
</pre>
=== Check Availability ===
You can now see if your instance is up using the following URL.
<pre>
http://appserver1.foo.co.nz:8081/FooApp/WebObjects/FooApp.woa
</pre>
Note that both the AJP (This is the protocol between the apache adaptor and the individual Tomcat instances.) and the regular HTTP engines are accessing the same running application. This means that a test straight onto the application via HTTP is actually testing the application that is being accessed via AJP. This behaviour provides an opportunity to be able to monitor specific instances of Tomcat over direct HTTP.
Check each of your instances.
=== Problems ===
Under Tomcat 5, check the log file at <tt>$TOMCATHOME/logs/catalina.out</tt> if you are unable to access your instance.
=== Shutdown An Instance ===
To shutdown an instance, issue a command as follows.
==== Tomcat 5 ====
<pre>
$TOMCATDIR/bin/shutdown.sh -config $INSTDIR/server_i1.xml
</pre>
It is also possible to use the UNIX <tt>telnet</tt> command to connect to the port described in the server configuration file's <tt>Server</tt> tag and type the word supplied in the <tt>shutdown</tt> attribute to take out the Tomcat instance.
==== Tomcat 3 ====
<pre>
TOMCATDIR/bin/shutdown -ajp13 -port 9091
</pre>
== Apache Adaptor Setup ==
A final deployment usually involves apache feeding inbound requests to instances and handling situations where an instance has gone down and balancing load over the instances that are currently running. This job is undertaken by <tt>mod_jk</tt> which is a module for apache written by the Tomcat group. This module communicates with the tomcat instances using a protocol called <tt>AJP</tt>. This protocol carries all the information required to check instances are operational as well as relaying requests to the instances. It is assumed that the configuration as well as binaries for the <tt>mod_jk</tt> apache module will be located at <tt>$JKDIR</tt>.
=== Compiling and Installing ===
Instructions for downloading and installing <tt>mod_jk</tt> can be obtained from the Tomcat website. The <tt>mod_jk.so</tt> binary should be located at the following path.
<pre>
$JKDIR/mod_jk.so
</pre>
Add a line to your system's apache httpd configuration file like this:
<pre>
Include /opt/modjk/apache.conf
</pre>
Edit this file to look like this:
<pre>
LoadModule jk_module /opt/modjk/mod_jk.so
AddModule mod_jk.c
JkLogFile /opt/modjk/mod_jk.log
JkLogLevel info
JkWorkerProperty worker.list=i1,i2,i3,loadbalancer
JkWorkerProperty worker.i1.type=ajp13
JkWorkerProperty worker.i1.port=9091
JkWorkerProperty worker.i1.host=appserver1.foo.co.nz
JkWorkerProperty worker.i1.lbfactor=1
JkWorkerProperty worker.i2.type=ajp13
JkWorkerProperty worker.i2.port=9092
JkWorkerProperty worker.i2.host=appserver1.foo.co.nz
JkWorkerProperty worker.i2.lbfactor=1
JkWorkerProperty worker.i3.type=ajp13
JkWorkerProperty worker.i3.port=9093
JkWorkerProperty worker.i3.host=appserver1.foo.co.nz
JkWorkerProperty worker.i3.lbfactor=1
JkWorkerProperty worker.loadbalancer.type=lb
JkWorkerProperty worker.loadbalancer.sticky_session=1
JkWorkerProperty worker.loadbalancer.local_worker_only=1
JkWorkerProperty worker.loadbalancer.balance_workers=i1,i2,i3
JkMount /FooApp/* loadbalancer
</pre>
Again, the details of the exact settings will not be covered in this article, but this should provide a simple guide to setting up this file to provide for a multi-instance deploy under Tomcat.
=== Restart Apache ===
Now restart apache with the following command:
<pre>
sudo apachectl restart
</pre>
=== Test Application ===
Now you can test your application using a URL such as this one.
<pre>
http://www.foo.co.nz/FooApp/WebObjects/FooApp.woa
</pre>
All three instances that you have setup should take some of the inbound requests.
=== Choosing the Right Instance ===
<tt>mod_jk</tt> ensures that requests that have started a session will be directed to the correct instance where the session originated. This behaviour is known as {\it sticky sessions}. It does not appear to be possible to nominate the instance from the servlet container in another way.

Who currently maintains "Noah's Classifieds"?
== The database ==
Listed in perceived order of importance;
=== n_user ===
User Accounts are stored here.
=== n_item ===
Classified Listings are in this database.
=== n_category ===
The sections shown on the front page are enumerated here.
=== n_settings, n_ecommsettings, n_globalstat ===
Various administrative settings for the page are held in these databases.
=== the others ===
Other tables hold other sorts of information to control cross referencing, cron jobs, email notifications, search and rss functionality, etc. Most of this information can be easily controlled through the Admin section of the site. To manually create a new Admin account, set isAdm to 1 for any existing user in the n_user table.
=== Pages that make database connections ===
The pages which connect to the database all reside in the gorum directory, and are; /gorum/dbinstall.php, /gorum/dbproperty.php, and /gorum/installlib.php. Additionally, /feedcreator/feedcreator.class.php makes a query to the database, and many files in the /app/ and /gorum/ folders contain calls to the executeQuery functions defined by /gorum/dbproperty.php.
== The sourcecode {{stage short|00%|Sep 01, 2006}}==
== The Tasks of the Variables ==
=== $registrationType ===
=== $otherTamplate ===
If this Variable is set (uncomment the related line in constants.php to do so) Noah's uses an unusual template. A template takes only effect on the look and style of Noah's Classifieds software. The file must be stored in the root directory of Noah's and needs a number in front of the suffix (e.g. template4.php). This index is declared to the system as our variable $otherTemplate.
(Noah includes the template-file while loading include.php wether it's the default one or not - line 24.)
== File and Function Descriptions ==
=== config.php ===
The config.php contains just the parameters for the database. The second - really little - task of this file is to construct the $dbHost string, addicted to whether the port is given or not.
=== item.php ===
The item.php comes in include.php into play. At first, if the variable ''$immediateAppear'' isn't set yet, the script sets it to "true". If needed or not at the moment, (I guess it's always needed) the variable ''item_typ'' is build at the beginning of that script.
=== object.php ===
Anything that communicates with the database is derived from the object class. Items (adverts), categories, users and even the global settings. Start at this class because most of its functions aren't ever overloaded.
=== gorum/gorum.php ===
This File is included in index.php and itself includes another bunch of files.
include("./gorum/constants.php");
if( $registrationType!=User_noUserFromGorum ) include("./gorum/loginlib.php");
include("./gorum/gorumlib.php");
include("./gorum/object.php");
include("./gorum/form.php");
include("./gorum/generformlib.php");
include("./gorum/roll.php");
include("./gorum/dbproperty.php");
include("./gorum/privilegeproperty.php");
include("./gorum/htmllist.php");
include("./gorum/tools.php");
include("./gorum/showdetails.php");
Furthermore it seems like it differs the type of user and loads user_simple.php or in the other case user_email.php.
=== gorum/roll.php ===
This contains the roll class. Roll is simply the class that handles link generation. It is nice because it adds a memory capability.
== The classes {{stage short|00%|Sep 01, 2006}}==
Unusually, this webapplication is full objective. As mentioned before, Noah's works with classes - in fact a lot. For example the ad itself is permanently handled as an object. This is useful but it needs to get used to.<br>
The most important one is the class called "Object". This is the parent one I will introduce next.
=== Object - the mothership ===

|eco=[[Chess/ECOB|B70]]
|parent=[[Chess Opening Theory/1. e4/1...c5|Sicilian defence]] → [[../|5. Nc3]]
}}
== 5...g6 · Dragon variation ==
Black prepares to fianchetto their dark-square bishop. From g7 this bishop will exert considerable pressure over the centre and facilitate a queen's side attack. However, 5...g6 weakens Black's kingside pawn structure and encourages White to pursue a king's side attack of their own.
[[/6. Be3|'''6. Be3''']] is the main move. This usually leads to the Yugoslav attack, where White castles queen's side and tries to pawn storm on the king's side. Because both players are attacking on opposite wings, there is no time to be lost for either side and subtle manoeuvring will tend to take a back seat to sharp tactics.
[[/6. Be2|'''6. Be2''']], the '''classical variation''', is the main alternative, where White prepares to castles short and away Black's powerful bishop. This is a less sharp continuation.
Less common approaches include:
[[/6. f4|'''6. f4''']] is the '''Levenfish attack'''. This postpones matters of development to take space and prepare the trappy move e5, an immediate assault on the centre.
[[/6. g3|'''6. g3''']] is the '''fianchetto variation'''. This prepares Bg2 and O-O.
'''6. f3''' is a small move order difference, usually transposing into the main line after 6...O-O 7. Be3.
[[/6. Bc4|'''6. Bc4''']] may transpose into the Yugoslav attack (6...Bg7 7. f3 O-O 8. Be3 Nc6 9. Qd2), or lead to a [[Chess Opening Theory/1. e4/1...c5/2. Nf3/2...d6/3. d4/3...cxd4/4. Nxd4/4...Nf6/5. Nc3/5...e6/6. Bc4|Sozin attack]]-style line where White castles short and focuses on piece play rather than a pawn storm.

=== History ===
[[image:Draco constellation map negative.png|thumb|right|The constellation Draco.]]
The term "dragon" for this line has been used in German since at least the 1910s; [[w:Fyodor Dus-Chotimirsky|Fyodor Dus-Chotimirsky]] later claimed to have invented the name in 1901, inspired by Black's pawn structure's resemblance to the constellation [[w:Draco (constellation)|Draco]] (the dragon).<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Dragon Variation (C.N. 5135) |url=https://www.chesshistory.com/winter/winter99.html#CN_7826 |last=Winter |first=Edward |date=2027-10-27 |access-date=2026-03-20 |website=Chess Notes}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Unsolved Chess Mysteries (8) |url=https://en.chessbase.com/post/edward-winter-presents-unsolved-che-mysteries-8- |last=Winter |first=Edward |date=2018-06-18 |access-date=2026-03-20 |website=ChessBase}}</ref>
The dragon is one of the most Sicilians. The viciousness of White's Yugoslav attack led to some players adopting the [[Chess Opening Theory/1. e4/1...c5/2. Nf3/2...Nc6/3. d4/3...cxd4/4. Nxd4/4...g6|accelerated move order]], where Black avoids playing ...d6 in the hope of playing ...d5 in one tempo later. Between them, the dragon and accelerated dragon are common recommendations as less theory-dense alternatives to the Najdorf.
Among its highest levels outings was in the [[w:Classical World Chess Championship 1995|1995 PCA World Championship]], where [[w:Viswanathan Anand|Viswanathan Anand]]'s attacks crashed and burned against [[w:Garry Kasparov|Garry Kasparov]]'s dragon Sicilian.<ref>[https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chess.pl?tid=55522 PCA World Championship.

== Upcoming deployment of CampaignEvents extension to Wikibooks ==
<section begin="message"/>
Hello everyone,
We are writing to inform you that the [[mw:Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]] will be deployed to all Wikibooks projects during the week of '''23 March 2026'''.
This follows last year’s broader rollout across Wikimedia projects. We realized that Wikibooks was not included at the time, and we’re now addressing that to ensure consistency across all communities.
The CampaignEvents extension provides tools to support event and campaign organization on-wiki, including features like on-wiki event registration and collaboration lists(global event list).
We welcome any questions, feedback, or concerns you may have. We are also happy to support anyone interested in trying out the tools.
''Apologies if this message is not in your preferred language. If you’re able to help translate it for your community, please feel free to do so.''

== Regarding the project's FlaggedRevs extension ==
Hello, everyone. I want to discuss with the community about the use of this project's FlaggedRevs (flagged revisions) extension, which was deployed many years ago (and configured recently).
=== Many unreviewed edits, and edit quality options ===
According to [[Special:PendingChanges]], there are almost 4000 unreviewed edits (per the standard FlaggedRevs configuration). In addition, on the edit review interface when evaluating a diff, there are three radio buttons that determine the quality of the edit (minimal, average, good). Do we have to utilize these buttons if the quality of the edit or the book matters, according to [[WB:REVIEW]]? This proposal is to whether discontinue the edit rating buttons or not.
One way to reduce such a large amount of unreviewed edits is to set the following to <code>true</code>:
* <code>wgFlaggedRevsProtection</code> (pending changes protection, to be used on Wikijunior pages; this might negate the need to show the stable version by default)
* (optional) <code>wgSimpleFlaggedRevsUI</code> (simpler, icon-based UI on the edit review interface)
We should also include the following configuration (partially based from English Wikipedia), if this proposal passes:
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
elseif ( $wgDBname == 'enwikibooks' ) {
// Limited to the main, Cookbook, and Wikijunior namespaces (T408110)
$wgFlaggedRevsNamespaces = [ NS_MAIN, 102, 110 ];
# We have only one tag with one level
$wgFlaggedRevsTags = [ 'status' => [ 'levels' => 1 ] ];
# Restrict autoconfirmed to flagging semi-protected
$wgFlaggedRevsTagsRestrictions = [
'status' => [ 'review' => 1, 'autoreview' => 1 ],
];
# Restriction levels for auto-review/review rights
$wgFlaggedRevsRestrictionLevels = [ 'autoreview' ];
# Remove 'validate' from reviewers
$wgGroupPermissions['reviewer']['validate'] = false;
# Group permissions for sysops
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['review'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['stablesettings'] = true;
# Allow sysops to add and remove the 'reviewer' group
$wgAddGroups['sysop'][] = 'reviewer';
$wgRemoveGroups['sysop'][] = 'reviewer';
# Remove the 'editor' user group
unset( $wgGroupPermissions['editor'] );
}
</syntaxhighlight>
=== Inactive reviewers ===
After conducting an audit of over 1000 reviewers, most, if not many of them are completely inactive.
=== User group changes for reviewers ===
The reviewer user group is known to the software as <code>editor</code>, which might sound misleading (the actual [[MediaWiki:Group-editor/qqq|/qqq definition]] is "Editors"). To fix that, we might have to consider switching to <code>reviewer</code> and unset <code>editor</code>.
I am also not sure whether administrators should have the <code>validate</code> user right, since <code>reviewer</code> has it on by default (but it is currently disabled). On the above configuration I proposed, administrators (and users in the <code>reviewer</code> user group) would no longer have <code>validate</code>.
=== Page patrolling ===
Currently, only administrators can mark new pages as patrolled (<code>patrol</code>) by using the MediaWiki page patrol software, but clicking on "Accept revision" (via FlaggedRevs) would also mark the page as patrolled, in question. I believe that using FlaggedRevs to patrol new pages is redundant, given that we might not want to use one or the other.
If we are considering on switching to pending changes, we should also allow reviewers to mark new pages as patrolled, as they are trusted to have the <code>autopatrol</code> right in addition to administrators and autoreviewed users.
Thoughts? [[User:Codename Noreste|<span style="color:#0024FF">Codename Noreste</span>]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Codename Noreste|contribs]]) 04:05, 21 March 2026 (UTC)
:I agree on replacing <code>editor</code> with <code>reviewer</code> to avoid confusion. Reviewers don't need to have patrol permissions as a reviewed page would be patrolled as well. I don't think people will use it much as a page or edit being reviewed already means that it has been checked by someone else.

::::I will give you an example. On the English Wikiquote, there are two user groups that have <code>autopatrol</code>: autopatrollers and patrollers. Autopatrollers have their page creations marked as patrolled by the software, while patrollers (whilst also having their page creations marked as patrolled) can mark new pages as patrolled (in addition to administrators).

:::::But what is the point of giving reviewers <code>patrol</code> if we are already using FlaggedRevs? I think that we won't need patrol because we already have reviewing, and patrol only seems to be a confirmation that the page is up to policy from what I have seen, so giving them reviewers to mark pages as patrolled seems pointless to me when we already have FlaggedRevs. [[User:kingofnuthin|<span style="font-family: Georgia; color: lime">kingofnuthin</span>]] ([[User talk:kingofnuthin|<span style="font-family: Georgia; color: teal">talk</span>]]) 19:06, 22 March 2026 (UTC)
::::::I understand, but my proposal was to convert FlaggedRevs into a protection-like mechanism which would be used alongside page protection; it might turn off FlaggedRevs's ability to patrol new pages for reviewers, hence why I suggested this above.

::::::: @[[User:Kingofnuthin|Kingofnuthin]] I will summarize what you said from above:
:::::::* You agree about the reviewer user group to be moved from <code>editor</code> to <code>reviewer</code> to avoid confusion (technically).
:::::::* However, you probably disagree about allowing reviewers to patrol new pages ''and'' having their page creations automatically marked as patrolled, because FlaggedRevs can do all of this, and <code>$wgUseNPPatrol</code> might seem to be redundant.
::::::: A compromise about your disagreement is that we might have to consider removing <code>autopatrol</code> and/or <code>patrol</code> from our existing user groups, similar to [[phab:T423461]].
::::::: I started this because in addition to that, one of my concerns was the extreme backlog of unreviewed edits and pages [4000!].

:I may be missing some things here, so let me know if I haven't answered any points here:
:# I don't think we currently need to have the review status indicate the quality of the edit (i.e. minimal, average, good). I don't think this is used at all anymore.
:# I think it makes sense to reassign the reviewer user group to <code>editor</code>. I always like clarity in language.
:# Are you saying that pages marked as reviewed are currently also classed as patrolled? If that's the case, I think we should not have reviewed pages automatically classed as patrolled, and we should keep reviewing and patrolling separate.
:I'll note that honestly don't know much about patrolling, since I've never engaged with it—I have only ever referenced the reviewing system. If there is a significant functional difference, I would love to know it.

::When someone clicks "Accept revision" on an unreviewed page, it is listed under [[Special:Log/review]]; if an admin marks a page as patrolled with "Mark this page as patrolled", it will show up under [[Special:Log/patrol]], which is not really logged much compared to the former log (review).

:I agree to your thoughts about the <code>editor</code> group and edit quality ratings, but I don't understand what this proposal changes for FlaggedRevs, since I don't have much technical knowledge. Can you explain what the proposal changes here, how are we going to convert FlaggedRevs into a "protection-like mechanism"?

::The proposal of changing FlaggedRevs into a protection-like feature (pending changes) is when an editor (unregistered/one not holding autoreviewer, reviewer, or administrator permissions) makes an edit, but their edit will be hidden from the public until it is approved by a reviewer or an administrator, and it will solely apply to Wikijunior pages. The configuration above is similar to what English Wikipedia uses.
{{quote|::I think it makes sense to reassign the reviewer user group to <code>editor</code>.}}
::@[[User:Kittycataclysm|Kittycataclysm]]: I believe you might have misunderstood. What I meant is that <code>(editor)</code> will be changed to <code>(reviewer)</code> to avoid confusion, but I plan to remove <code>editor</code> from all inactive reviewers, then do the same for recently active reviewers. However, given that there are a lot of reviewers, a script will possibly do all the work (under {{no ping|Maintenance script}} or similar).

:'''Re FlaggedRevs generally: '''The [[mw:Extension:FlaggedRevs|Mediawiki page of the extension]] says it is not being maintained and not recommended for production use. We should consider whether we need this extension at all.
:What is the actual policy justification for having FlaggedRevs?
:[[Help:Tracking_changes#Reviewing_pages]] says it's "our primary counter-vandalism tool". I don't know if it is that: it doesn't prevent vandalism or reduce exposure to vandalism (as with stable versions). The "counter-vandalism" bit comes from human editors looking at the edits, identifying vandalism, and reverting. FlaggedRevs isn't necessary for that. Maybe it makes it a little easier to spot edits in recent changes from new editors that may need a little more help (wikicode etc, not just spam), but can that be achieved just with the patrolled edits functionality?
:If we still want something like FlaggedRevs, as an anti-vandalism tool or for draft control, then Mediawiki has a [[mw:Content approval extensions|list of alternatives]] that may be more suited and better maintained.
:'''Re minimal/average/good specifically:''' I agree that we don't need the three categories. I thought I read somewhere that these were intended to show the quality of the REVIEW not of the page? That is, a "minimal" review is "I checked there was no obvious vandalism" and a "good" review was "I've thoroughly fact-checked everything".

:: This was enabled back in 2008, which resulted in [[Wikibooks:New page patrol]] currently being obsolete.

== Regarding copyright of recipes found on online cooking forums ==
What is the copyright situation regarding cooking recipes found on online recipe books with recipes made by other people? I ask this because I want to add/translate recipes from 下厨房 (xià chúfáng) for Chinese recipes, and while I was intending to add the original writer of the recipe with the translation I still want to ask for clarification.
[[User:Fukukitaru|Fukukitaru]] ([[User talk:Fukukitaru|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Fukukitaru|contribs]]) 19:06, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
:Recipes are in principle not copyright-able, as they are just facts. When someone includes descriptive text or anything that elaborates on the basic ingredients and steps, that is copyright-able. I am not a lawyer or legal scholar and cannot give legal advice. See (e.g.) https://www.copyrightlaws.com/copyright-protection-recipes/ —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 19:16, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
::In that case, would simplifying ingredients and methods to where they are simple yet can still be understood be sufficient for said recipes? [[User:Fukukitaru|Fukukitaru]] ([[User talk:Fukukitaru|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Fukukitaru|contribs]]) 19:23, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
:::Yes, you can add a recipe here as long as the instructions and text are not too overlapping with the copyrighted original. As the linked page says, the '''ideas''' behind the ingredient list and steps to prepare a given food item are not currently copyrightable, but the way you write the ideas may be copyrightable. You should also cite where you took the recipe from so we can trace its origins. I personally recommend only adding recipes that you have successfully made so we don't become a massive repository of potentially low-quality or untested recipes—I only add recipes once I have made them successfully. Let me know if you have any more questions about the Cookbook!

::::To build up on this, if you want to understand what is copyright-able and what is not, the "[[:w:en:Idea–expression distinction|idea versus expression]]" distinction. You cannot own the idea of "Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy and girl commit suicide" but you can copyright a specific version of ''Romeo and Juliet'' with your own innovative ideas. And, for that matter, this is context-specific, but if you can understand the distinction, it can help with future questions about "could this be protected by copyright?", which can be a subtle one. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 22:50, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
:::::To further build up on this, there's something called the merger doctrine (see ''[[w:Baker v. Selden|Baker v. Selden]]''). This is why you can't copyright drawings of [[w:Structural formula|structural formulas]]. This doctrine means that if there's only one or a handful of ways to express an idea, then any such expression cannot be copyrighted, since copyrighting that expression would essentially be copyrighting the idea itself. This comes in a lot with recipes. I very likely can't copyright this list (from [[Cookbook:Cornmeal Pancakes (Arepa)]]:
:::::* 2.4 cups corn flour
:::::* 1.2 tsp salt
:::::* 0.6 cup grated white cheese
:::::* 2.4 cups cool water
:::::Since there's essentially only one way to express the idea of that combination of ingredients. However, if I say:
:::::* 2.4 cups corn flour: for this, I strongly recommend Harina P.A.N., because my grandma always used to make me arepas from that stuff every day, and it was delicious.
:::::That is copyrightable. At that point, I cease to merely be expressing the idea of a food item with those four ingredients, and add a minimum degree of creativity.

::::::And to build on all <em>that</em>, even if individual pieces of information are in the public domain (or are fair use), the <em>arrangement</em> of them can be copyrighted. This is why even if ''Bartlett's Quotations'' only had public domain material, the act of selectively editing and positioning them thematically for the user's benefit could constitute a sufficiently original work. So we could copy the material from a bunch of recipes, but could run a foul of copyright issues if we arranged and sorted them in some kind of manner that replicated someone else's original work. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 02:28, 31 March 2026 (UTC)
== Style Guidelines for Advanced Points ==
Is there a general style guideline to refer the reader to advanced information, while the main text gives the short-answer version? For example, how would I specify that in practical applications, A is true, but if you use the theory you see that A is not quite true, or has caveats, or similar?--

:Thanks for asking. You have a similar thread at our sister project Wikiversity and I am the equivalent of an admin there (we have a "curators" and "custodians" that are similar to admins on other projects). I'm not an admin here, but speaking as someone who has generally contributed here, writing news articles would not be appropriate. It would be great to write a textbook on [[journalism]]: we could use a great guide for ethics, finding sources, asking questions, objectivity and neutrality, etc. Unlike on Wikiversity, where the learning materials can be virtually anything, this project is specifically for a textbook/guide/manual, so writing news articles and posting them here is not really appropriate, but you could have a few example articles that you write for the purpose of having a textbook. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 23:46, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

I'm going to simplify the template, as well as switch everything to Latin script. The text below has been copied directly from the Public Domain Peace Corps Uzbek Language Compentencies book, it should be edited as the book evolves.
Uzbek is a member of the Turkic language family. Speakers of these languages number approximately 150 million and range from the Tuvas of Siberia and Uyghurs of China through the Kazaks and Kirgiz of Central Asia to the Tatars of Europe and Turks and Azeris of the Near East. While all the Turkic languages share a common structure and basic vocabulary, many (for example, Chuvash and Yakut) are not mutually intelligible. However Uzbeks and Uyghurs are able to converse freely with one another because their ancestors adopted the same local Turkic dialects spoken in urban areas of Central Asia.
Standard Uzbek conforms to those urban dialects without being exactly the same as any one of them. It incorporates several elements borrowed from local Persian dialects. This influence is most apparent in the vowel system and in the large number of words borrowed from Persian and Arabic. Standard Uzbek also reflects a heritage from the classical language in Arabic script called Chagatay or Central Asian Turi, which was used by Muslim Turks until the early 20th century. The period of Soviet rule also left its stamp on the standard literary language. This manual of the standard Uzbek language is intended to facilitate the acquisition of the basic language skills that Peace Corps volunteers will need to enrich their tour in the Republic of Uzbekistan. Conceivably, its materials may be used in conjunction wit a textbook for teaching Uzbek at the University level.
The authors are aware that this first competency based manual of Uzbek contains imperfections, but they remind their readers:

== Virtually Learning: The Education Experience in ''Second Life'' ==
----
'''Introduction'''
School is outdated and out of touch with the lives of today’s students. For the most part, our academic institutions continue to follow a model put forth in the nineteenth century (Herz, as quoted by Foreman, 2004). And, when asked to describe their school experiences, “boring” and “dry” are two words that often enter into the students’ conversation (Prensky, 2001). Oblinger (2003) asserts that these new students - individuals “raised on the Internet and interactive games” (p. 44) - may have expectations that are not met by the current “skill and drill” system of learning (e.g., Gee, 2003; Steinkuehler, 2005).
They, and more specifically the Net Generation or the Millennials (Carlson, 2005; Oblinger, 2003), come into the classroom equipped with different attitudes toward education, as well as a diverse array of technological skills. Scholars, such as Dede (2005) take this line of thought a step further by suggesting that information technology is reshaping the mindset of students of all ages and creating a “neomillennial” learning style. Regardless of the label, these new students want more than the traditional lecture format; instead, they are seeking out authentic and active educational experiences, like those found in virtual worlds.
According to the Entertainment Software Association (2007), the typical game player is 33 years old and has been playing games for more than 10 years; 38% of these game players are women. But, this is not to say that younger individuals – male and female – are not playing games. As Lenhart, Madden, and Hitlin (2005) report, the majority of teenagers are now using the Internet; further, 81% of these teens (or approximately 17 million individuals) play games set in online virtual worlds (p. 35). More importantly, though, the exposure to certain technologies, like video games and virtual worlds, may have altered the minds of these students, or “digital natives,” in such a way that educational theories that worked in the past may not in today’s world (Prensky, 2001). These technologies also raise flags about what exactly is learning.
'''What is Learning?'''
'''''Behaviorism versus Constructivism'''''
Learning means different things to different people. Vygotsky (1978) writes that learning is “more than the acquisition of the ability to think; it is the acquisition of many specialized abilities for thinking about a variety of things” (p. 83). To those who follow a behaviorist pedagogy, learning is viewed as an activity that takes place inside the head of a person. The assumption is that the child’s mind is like a blank slate waiting to be written on or an empty container ready to be filled. Drill and skill techniques and the standardized tests that accompany them often underlie this theory, yet they may not be able to account for higher-order thinking found in society. Papert (1993) points to the work of Paulo Freire (1987) who uses a ‘banking model’ to describe the behaviorist approach to education. Based on Papert’s interpretation of Freire’s metaphor, “information is deposited in the child’s mind” (p. 14) and knowledge is “treated like money to be put away in a bank for the future” (p. 51). With such an approach, learning is always about the future potential to use it, not about the present.
Today Web 2.0 and other emerging technologies make immediate use of learner skills and competencies more salient. Some scholars have attempted to extend the facets of constructionist theory to incorporate the use of technologies to facilitate the teaching and learning process. This is not to say that these scholars believe that computers alone will save education. They do not. In fact, Papert (1993) states that “nothing could be more absurd than an experiment in which computers are placed in a classroom where nothing else has changed” (p. 149). Following this lead, Jonassen (2000) argues that students do not learn from teachers or computers. Instead, Jonassen asserts that they both merely foster learning and views computers as cognitive tools, which he refers to as Mindtools.
In Jonassen’s assessment, Mindtools are “intellectual partners that enhance the learner’s ability to think” (p. 17). Wedemeyer (1981) takes a similar position on the ways to enhance learning but argues that “learning via technology is not merely a matter of substituting technology for the classroom” (p. 111). While Wedemeyer believes that teachers will not be replaced by computers, he does acknowledge that technology is beneficial in that it can “free faculty members from custodial duties so more of the teacher’s and learner’s time can be given to truly educational needs” (p. 36). Perhaps today, more than a quarter century after Wedemeyer's writing, we can realize some of his predictions and ideals. Like Wedemeyer, Jonassen, and Papert, Michael and Chen (2006) agree that educators will continue to be an essential element in the teaching and learning process, no matter how important video games become; in fact, their vision of video games is one where they become “part of the new educational toolbox” (p. 142)
Computer technologies are attractive because they provide students the opportunity to engage in complex thinking through active learning and autonomy. One example is Papert’s Logo project and the creation of “microworlds.” Logo was a computer-based environment where students could explore the concepts they learned by using programming languages to create and build creatures, as well as directing the movements of their design in this space. In this active and experiential environment, students were able control their learning and set their own goals. It is also in this type of space that multiple ways of understanding are acceptable and encouraged.
Jonassen (2000) considers this move toward different approaches to knowing to be beneficial, and believes that the reason why students have a “deficient understanding of content” is because “they were required to represent what they know in only one way” (p. 281). According to Jonassen as well as Papert, that is the beauty of environments such as Logo; understanding surfaces from meaningful activities rather than memorizing the correct solution. This approach is in direct opposition to the current educational system that “insists on the student being precisely right” (Papert, 1993, p. 167). It is also in this space where teaching and learning are freed from the constraints and barriers of what Wedemeyer's (1981) referred to as “time-place conditions” (p. 37) – education can happen anytime, anyplace. Wedemeyer also suggests that this technological affordance “opens up the doors to greater learner independence by permitting physical distance between teacher and learner” (p. 112). And the opportunities for student and teacher being physically distant from one another have certainly exploded in the decades since Wedemeyer was espousing such views.
Scholars have argued that the incorporation of technology into the teaching and learning process is complementary to the constructivist approach to education. Even though technology is viewed as a tool that fosters learning, it alone will not be enough to move education away from the behaviorist approaches that are entrenched in our current system. Wedemeyer (1981) suggests we may have to look beyond the classroom model for answers. He writes, “If America is on the threshold of becoming a Learning Society, non-traditional learning may be its most genuine ingredient” (p. 219). Nontraditional is certainly apparent today with Wikis for virtual collaboration, podcasts for playing lectures while driving in your car or on a morning jog, and subscribing to someone's blog posts or YouTube channel. It would fascinating to invite someone like Wedemeyer to comment on how he perceives the technologies of today in light or his writings and predictions from a few decades ago.
'''''Situated Learning Theory'''''
One way to effectively develop knowledge or skill in a topic area is through experience and learning in a rich, authentic context (Lave, 1988; Vygotsky, 1978). Lave and Wenger (1991) claim that learning “implies becoming a different person with respect to the possibilities enabled by these systems of relations” (p. 53). Individuals go through this process of knowing and learning in a variety of ways, but traditional education does not always take this into consideration. Instead, traditional education practices tend to regard thinking as a process that is consistent across all learners (Greeno, 1989).
There are a number of factors that enable learners to take knowledge and apply it. In the current environment, educators have stressed the importance of transmitting facts to learners with the hope that information will transfer come test time. And therein lies the rub; the exchange value may be such that learners are able to perform well on tests and other assessment measures; however, this does not mean they will be able to activate that knowledge spontaneously. The knowledge may actually lie inert and unusable outside the context of classroom. Emerging technologies have helped make this more evident as learners are able to engage in more authentic and real-world contexts where, unlike traditional learning situations, they apply as well as reflect on their knowledge through interactive sharing.
Unlike simulations and gaming, virtual worlds, and online tele-apprenticeships and problem-based learning, traditional education has created its own type of learning culture. Technically, it qualifies as a situated environment, but it is one in which the real world context is de-emphasized or completely severed from classroom learning. Instead of developing knowledge or tools that will assist them in solving problems, learners passively acquire a collection of facts from an all-knowing teacher. This type of knowledge is fragile and creates a situation where the learning becomes meaningless. At the time of this writing, however, the teachers’ perceived need to sacrifice deep understanding for broad material coverage overshadows such issues. There is a pervasive fear that valuable class time will be spent on initiatives that will not transfer is a real one. Therefore, traditional education focuses on microcontext teaching methods where subsets of larger problems are examined and oftentimes drilled into passive learners. With this approach, topics can change on a daily basis, without providing adequate time for learners to obtain a deep and rich understanding of the material.
Learners may face a number of obstacles while attempting to develop their own knowledge skills, but there are ways to circumvent these issues. One is for educators to create communities of practice that foster the emergence of robust knowledge rather than the acquisition of applications and procedures. For learning to be valuable and for knowledge to emerge, Brown and his colleagues (1989) argue that there must be a combination and interaction of activity, culture, and concept. Along these same lines, Lave and Wenger (1991) refer to a dynamic interaction with these elements as Legitimate Peripheral Participation (LPP). According to Lave and Wenger, LPP occurs when “learners inevitably participate in communities of practitioners and that the mastery of knowledge and skill requires newcomers to move toward full participation in the sociocultural practices of a community” (p. 29).
Anchored instruction – or apprenticeship-like learning experiences – is another way to integrate activity, culture, and concept into the teaching and learning environment (CTGV, 1990). In fact, Lave and Wenger (1991) suggest that in the United States today, much of the learning that requires higher-order thinking skills (e.g., medicine, law, business, engineering, etc.) is done through apprenticeship-like instruction. By becoming ingrained in the participatory process, learners understand how to actively use knowledge within an authentic context. This allows them to view information as a tool that evolves with use rather than a futile fact that remains inert. Instruction that is placed in a complex macro-context environment, like ones employed in anchored instruction, enable learners to sustain thinking about a particular topic over a period of time. Such a process allows them to move closer to becoming “experts.” Anchored instruction methods also enable learners to find ways to use elements that are available in the environment to assist them in solving problems. Through teacher-guided discovery and coaching, learners can develop a basis for their understanding.
Once learners have gained self-confidence and understanding of the material, they can rely less on the teacher and more on others in the community via collaboration. In an attempt to avoid situating the activity within one particular context, multiple perspectives are provided to layer the content. The goal is to create a situation where the knowledge can be decontextualized in such a manner that it allows the learner to use it in other contexts. Another way to promote the possibility of transfer is by creating an environment that not only supports the process of thinking about novel problems, but also encourages the articulation and reflection of ideas. Learners who articulate and reflect on their problem-solving procedures develop metacognitive skills that enable them to compare their learning and knowledge to others. It also makes visible any misconceptions that may exist in the learner’s understanding, while allowing the teacher to determine what is simply being regurgitated to complete assignments.
Overall, in order for learning and knowledge to be effective, they should be situated within a triangle of meaningful activities, culture, and concept (Brown, Collins, & Duguid, 1989). Taken out of its indexical context, learning loses its use value and becomes opaque. However, concerns over transferability have traditionally created a learning environment within the culture of schools that emphasizes the regurgitation of facts, rather than the development of deeper understandings and appreciations of the content. The acquisition of facts can be valuable in certain situations, but this type of knowledge can be rendered meaningless outside the confines of the classroom. In order for learners to take ownership for their learning and accurately assess their metacogntive skills, the learning and the knowledge cannot be extracted from the situation. By creating communities of practice like those described by Lave and Wenger (1991), learning and the development of knowledge can move out of the academic factory and into an environment that will enable learners to develop tools they can use in the world. As noted below, emerging technologies, such as virtual worlds and simulations, can be used to do just that.
'''A Virtual Educational Model'''
Learning is not what it used to be. Simply put, today’s students obtain knowledge differently from those of previous generations. It is important to emphasize that the interests and expectations in computers and video games of these technologically savvy students is not part of a quest to find an easier alternative; on the contrary, as Steinkuehler (2005) suggests, such tech savvy individuals are seeking out cognitive challenges via video games. Gee (2003) continues this line of thought, and argues that in the world of video games, “hard is not bad and easy is not good” (p. 165).
Kurt Squire (2005, February) is another scholar who recognizes the appeal of complexity within video games, as well as the objections players have toward easy games. He argues that what players do not like are “‘uninteresting decisions’, or games that leave them confused with too many ‘easy’ decisions – decisions where there is no learning to be had” (p. 25). Therefore, some educators, such as Sasha Barab et al. (2005), propose a different type of educational model. This alternative is one that blends together games and learning, while adding one ingredient that is typically absent in education – fun. In addition to creating an enjoyable experience, virtual worlds, like ''Second Life'', provide students scaffolded spaces that can support practical experimentation, critical thinking, and other information literacy skills – important qualities needed in our technology-focused real world.
Modern players’ expectations for video games and virtual worlds are high. Increasingly, they want complex special effects and high quality graphics that create an immersive and “realistic” experience. In virtual worlds, students are able to experiment with identity, explore online role playing, and develop shared values. As they handle tools and materials, observe and interact with others, student-players can experientially develop a deeper understanding of a theme, a topic, a period of time, or a concept. Situated within a visually rich and engaging space, players are encouraged to interact with each other and travel to virtual lands by selecting from a diverse array of paths at various points. In addition to information obtained through player-to-player interactions, designers utilize feedback such as hue, lighting, and shape to guide player’s activities, as well.
Along with feedback that guides the players’ activities, the development of visual skills and creativity can enrich the students’ learning experiences. In worlds like ''Quest Atlantis'' and ''Second Life'' (''SL''), students can customize the appearance of their avatar, and, because the content in ''SL'' is created entirely by users, students may build content or interact with artifacts created by others. Students can also plan by mapping-out strategies to overcome challenges and navigate charted and uncharted paths. What’s more, they may explore alternatives or different viewpoints by modifying the visual display; for example, by selecting the avatar’s expression or switching between first- and third-person viewpoints. Even the physical act of controlling an avatar in real time may raise the students’ consciousness of the architectural constraints and possibilities. Also, students are able to create a sense of space through a process that Kalay (2004) contends is a “combination of context, activities, and action” (p. 196); they employ intellectual decision-making in order to accomplish both personal and in-game goals.
Virtual worlds, such as ''Second Life'', are powerful in that they enable students to learn through seeing, knowing, feeling, and doing within visually rich and mentally engaging spaces. Rather than reading about events, such as the bloody conflicts between the colonists and the British soldiers, students who navigate Williamsburg in the history-themed, role playing game ''Revolution'' become part of the events through the adoption of a pre-set persona. In more fictional constructs such as ''Prospero’s Island'', students interact and collaborate with Shakespearean characters and other players, as well as experience scenes as images mapped to text. As an added benefit, scaffolded activities are far more likely to create a safe environment with minimal risk of failure or embarrassment (Steinkuehler, 2004). Since games offer many options and respond to player choices, student-players often feel as if they are in control of their learning, and, as a result, own their learning process (Herz, 2001). Some students even assert that they learned more in these environments than they would have if they had only read the text (Van, 2007). Table 1 provides a summary of the possible educational uses of ''Second Life''.

However, teaching and learning through video games or in virtual environments is not without its problems or concerns. First, while the power of play is motivating for some students (c.f., Squire, 2005), not everyone prefers to learn in a visual manner, which is privileged in virtual worlds. Additionally, there is a significant commitment by both instructors and students involved in such activities; for instance, educators who introduce students to a virtual experience should plan on prior instruction and hours of playing time before students grasp the main concepts that are introduced in the environment. In an examination of learning with commercially available video games in the classroom conducted by Kirriemuir and McFarlane (2004), they found that the “amount of time taken for both the student and teacher to orient themselves within the game” (p. 19) was one of the main disadvantages.
Students’ expectations may skew the experience, as well; if they anticipate that the virtual world will be game-like, they may expect the look and feel of slick, commercial products. As Elliott and his colleagues (2002) discovered, this is an experience that is not always available in education-themed spaces. In virtual worlds, like ''Second Life'', other problems encountered by players may include banishment from the world for violations of community standards, encounters with griefers (i.e., players who cause grief to others in the virtual world through harassment), and even the costs associated with inflation. Hayes (2006) adds that as the teaching and learning opportunities available and exploited in ''SL'' expand, educators will also have to address issues regarding the proliferation of sexually explicit content as well as other sensitive and controversial topics.
In addition to such issues and concerns, students may feel initially frustrated as they learn how to be in-world. As Johnson (2005) points out, “The dirty little secret of gaming is how much time you spend not having fun. You may be frustrated; you may be confused or disoriented; you may be stuck” (p. 25). But, as Clark Aldrich (2005) contends, this can be a positive sign in that “frustration during the learning program and then the feeling of resolution afterward is the most reliable sign that learning is going on” (p. 243). Gee (2007) would agree with this position and adds that while good video games are ones that are challenging yet do-able, it is through guidance that learners can “prepare for action” (p. 80).
By overcoming these challenges, mastering tasks, and participating in communal activities presented within these virtual places, though, students are typically rewarded by gaining both points and status among other players (e.g., Herz, 2001). One study by Green and Bavelier (2003) also suggests that regular participation in these games can improve visual skills; skills that allow a student-player to decipher complex scenes, adapt more readily to distractions, and quickly and efficiently process fast-changing imagery and visual feedback. At least initially, some learners may become overwhelmed and frustrated with the virtual world, but Gee (2005) argues that these complex and cognitively challenging spaces are good not just because they are games; rather, he contends that the cutting edge is “realizing the potential of games for learning by building good games into good learning systems in and out of classrooms” (p. 21).
'''Conclusion'''
Despite those who suggest that there are benefits to the interactions that take place within these rich, complex virtual worlds, there is evidence to suggest that the educational community has been slow to adopt the use of new technologies in the classroom (Hitlin & Rainie, 2005). In some cases, parents are more accepting of incorporating video games and virtual worlds into the curriculum than teachers (Michael & Chen, 2006). Rather than relying on commercial game designers to exploit the learning potential of these environments, though, Lombardi and McCahill (2004) argue that it will take the efforts of educators to further these educational initiatives. In a recent report on game-based learning from the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) in the UK, Sara de Freitas (2007) from the Serious Games Institute in Coventry and Visiting Researcher at the London Knowledge Lab agrees with this perspective. She argues that designers, educators, and learners need to come together to move toward the creation of serious (i.e., educational) games and other immersive worlds. At the same time, scholars such as Coffman and Klinger (2008) remind others that even if educators do get involved in these efforts, they will continue to face the challenge of determining how to effectively integrate these virtual worlds into the curriculum.
Nonetheless, educators are beginning to recognize the potential of ''Second Life'' and the ways in which this world could enhance learning in their own classrooms, as well as fostering student collaboration worldwide. Shaffer and his group (2005) observe that a shift toward games is happening in corporations and the military, but not education. However, Diana Oblinger (2004) points out that the interest in the concept of informal learning is on the rise. Currently, there are also signs to suggest that educational entities have started to explore the possibilities associated with virtual world environments, like ''Second Life''. According to the Horizon Report (2007), “educational use of these spaces is already underway and growing” (p. 18). Moreover, a survey conducted by the New Media Consortium (2007) found that educators believe that ''Second Life'' has great potential and consider this world to be a taste of the 3D future.
There are many directions for virtual learning across educational settings. Large-scale adaption, effective training, and innovative uses are among the goals of many of the scholars and educators reviewed in this chapter. Inroads into awareness, pedagogy, and training will likely not overnight, but will be interesting to watch, analyze, and help promote during the coming decade.

== Information and Reference Service ==
'''Introduction'''
As institutions that document the human record, libraries existed as early as the third millennium B.C.E. (Krummel, 2002). Libraries and librarians play a role in collecting, preserving, conserving, organizing books and prints for effective use by their patrons. This commitment has been fulfilled for thousands of years until recently due to the rapid growth of knowledge. Because we are in an information age, a frenetic era which has resulted in an information overload beyond an individual’s control, librarians stand fast and stick to their traditional commitment of making information available to their communities and users. They will effectively provide a vast array of information services and apply information technologies to the services for their diverse users. This article presents basic concepts of information and reference services in American libraries.
'''The Challenge: Information Age'''
i
It seems impossible not to mention information age while we discuss information and reference services in libraries. It has changed the world dramatically and tremendously. Information age or the so called information era has great impacts on the modern world. Daniel Bell published his book - The Coming of Post-Industrial Society in 1973. He identified the coming of information age with revolution which would mark a complete break with the industrial past (Harris, 2002). The following passage explains why the age is so challenged and unique:
''"The sum total of humankind’s knowledge is doubled from 1750-1900. It doubled again from 1900-1950. Again from 1960-65. It has been estimated that the sum total of humankind’s knowledge has doubled every five years since then…It has been further projected that by the year of 2020, knowledge will double every 73 days (as cited in Gillani, 2003)."''
We are living in a time when knowledge is doubled every five years. We treasure the value of knowledge because it is a representation of human wisdom and intelligence. In the past, knowledge was well kept in print and saved in libraries. Now, it is no longer one organization's role to manage such huge amount of knowledge. Libraries are unable to control how information is preserved or accessed. This has resulted in a cultural shift. Instead of libraries and librarians being the gatekeepers to information, information is now readily available.
According to Bell, information age is a name given to a period after the industrial age and it has been used to refer to the present economic era. Several revolutionary inventions generate the birth of this new era. Samuel F.B Morse’s invention of electrical telegraph in 1837 is considered the beginning of the information age. With this device, information can travel distances in seconds. Others inventions such as the typewriter, calculator, telephone, radio, and television were followed by his invention. Since the 1980s, personal computers have become available. With a personal computer, the user can easily produce and access information. We entered the era of “information age” in 1980. Information has become accessible via the Internet all over the world. In 1989, the invention of the World Wide Web made the Internet really take off as a global network. In order to transfer and retrieve information on the Internet, digital format has been quickly adopted by users. Texts, images, sounds, movies, and all kinds of media are digitized. Now, the Internet is the ultimate place to accelerate the flow of relevant information. These revolutionary spread of integrated digital communication systems has dramatically complicated and influenced modern society (Harris). Now, information can be presented in various formats other than print and it can be transferred long distance within a click.
It was never considered that humankind had the ability to create more information than individuals can absorb (Gillani, 2003). With such amount knowledge and limited budgets, libraries had difficulties in keeping collections and patron’s needs in balance, and failed to keep up with information technology. Debates on libraries and librarian’s role in the era had been going on for decades in the late 20th century. The information revolution has put great pressure on libraries as they try to find their way through this dramatic and rapid shift. Fortunately, it didn’t take too much time for librarians to confirm their mission and to adopt information technology which not only has its impact on library services such as providing digital information, but also changes library development from inner and outer aspects. Nowadays, almost every library provides Internet access to its patrons via wireless connects and dozens of personal computers available to the general public and librarians today use an astonishing array of resources as they connect people with information and ideas (Harmon, Charles, and Symons).
'''Information as Commodity'''
As mentioned earlier, Bell’s prediction has come true. He pointed out that the information society would be characterized by a change from a goods-producing to an information-producing society. He also believed that information would come to represent the most important commodity sold in the new electronically linked world marketplace (Harris, 2005). Two decades later, his prediction was confirmed by Bill Gates, the president of Microsoft, who noted in his 1995 book titled "The Road Ahead" that digital information had indeed become a central commodity in a massive global information marketplace. Nowadays, a person who doesn’t know about using a computer and searching on the Internet is considered computer illiterate. It becomes more and more difficult to locate a piece of information without having some information literacy or digital literacy skills. Information overload even causes information anxiety. Many users are even willing to pay to find information efficiently. Information and information services have become commodities that users unwillingly purchase. The term, “Electronic Commerce”, interprets commercial transactions that use any electronic communications facilities. However, it is widely adopted in the 1990s to describe business transactions involving the Internet.
By the early 1990s, several factors began to make the idea of commerce over the Internet both feasible and attractive. A related development was the improved capability and availability of U.S. and international telecommunications infrastructures, including the gradual introduction of digital technologies. Networked microcomputers were replacing mainframes and were generally accessible to businesses. Uniform packaged software platforms (operating systems) were widely adopted. The Internet began to establish itself as a global network, and in 1991, the set of instructions underlying the World Wide Web (WWW) were written. This allowed both the display of graphics as well as text on the web pages and the introduction of "hyperlinks," allowing easy movement from one web-page or site to another. This was further enhanced in 1993 by the development of Mosaic, the first "browser" (and predecessor to Netscape Navigator). With these changes, the Internet has become more "consumer friendly." Then, in 1995, the National Science Foundation (NSF) surrendered its role in managing the Internet to private enterprise, opening up its full commercial potential (Taylor, 2002). As of 2000, the businesses primarily receiving profits from use of the Internet were companies facilitating electronic commerce, rather than the online businesses themselves. It is clear nonetheless that there is an extraordinary expansion of e-commerce around the world. This global growth of electronic commerce has raised significant regulatory and legal issues at the national and global levels. The resolution of these issues may either facilitate or hinder the growth of e-commerce.
In the late 20th century, digital information had indeed become a central commodity in a massive global information marketplace. The emergence of digital information such as e-books, e-journals, and hypertext writing systems appears to be “rapidly undermining previous commitments to the print-on-paper communication system that played such a fundamental part in constituting the libraries of the world” (Taylor, 2002). Issues such as preservation, conservation, distribution, ownership, and copyright of digital information, as well as training library personnel and users required comprehensive consideration to make further movement. It is also true that the commodification of information and privatization of information delivery system may lead abandonment of the idea of information as a public good. Librarians and others remain skeptical of the idea that it is conducive to the democratic process (Harris).
Through close collaboration with experts of information technology and sharing resources and experiences with other librarians improves the quality of the services provided. It seems everyone now concurs with information as a commodity, but many people still remain troubled by the implications of the dramatic and relentless commodification of information.
'''Information and Reference Services in Library'''
According to Standard Committee, Reference and Adult Service Division, the outline of library services includes information service at a desk, interlibrary service, bibliographic service, correspondence, document service, and orientation and instructional service (as cited in Katz and Tarr, 1978). It should be noted that the information services mentioned above is being used in the broadest sense of the term library services and includes all traditional reference and information services.
Reference service is one of several library services. The term "reference service" is defined as personal assistance provided to library users seeking information (Huling, 2002). Samuel Rothstein (1961) noted "May I remind you that in the United States of less than a century ago the library still took no responsibility whatsoever for the provision of personal assistance to its users." He called reference service the new dimension in librarianship in his article. Librarians, or reference librarians, usually start reference service from an interview at a reference desk with their library users. Through the interviews they identify what the user needs and what information might be helpful for the user. Reference service enlarges library services and provides interaction between librarians and their users. Yet, there are some challenges to put it into practice in the field. Rothstein pointed out that “help” is a great tent of a word that embraces an enormous range and variety of activities. For example, questions related to medical and legal issues (Crocker) may twist the virtue of reference service. Wyer (1930) identified three concepts of reference work: conservative, liberal, and moderate philosophy. The conservative philosophy instructs users in how to find the information on their own. The liberal philosophy holds that the reference librarian should locate the information for the user and provide it in the form needed. The moderate philosophy recognizes that maximum assistance will be offered based on a combination of library staffing, resources, time factors, and user need. The latter approach balances the instructional function with the full-service mode. Debates on these issues raged in the 1960s and 1970s, but they have abated as reference librarians have determined that a balanced approach takes into account the needs of the user at a particular time.
Traditionally, reference service is offered in a face-to-face environment at a reference (information) desk. With revolutionary information and communication technologies, reference service now can be available via telephone, e-mail, and some web-based applications. Meanwhile, libraries also develop complex systems that consist of many procedures and functions which have included acquisition of materials, cataloging and classification, circulation and interlibrary loan, serials management, and reference services (Beheshti,2002).
Francis J. Witty introduced some excellent collections of reference books. He mentioned that reference collection is the fourth most used collection after general stacks: periodicals, newspapers, and reserve. Reference collection includes the following heading listed in alphabetical order: Agriculture, Astronomy, Bibliography -Catalogs, Biography, Calendars-Almanacs, Cookery-Dietetics, Dictionaries, Encyclopedias-Encyclopedic Learning, Epitomes, Folklore-Marvels, Genealogy, geography –Travel-Foreign Customs, Grammar, History-Annals-Chronological Tables, Law, Literature, Mathematics, Medicine, Political Science-Government, Technology-Engineering. Reference books as well as the other collections in libraries are gradually digitized. Michael Levy’s study concluded that by the year 2020 some 90 percent of books sold would be published as e-books.
With more and more digital collections and online service, libraries burst with speed connecting users and information. As Huling noted that modern libraries provide a strong link between the highly technological information environment and the users, advising on search strategies that help the user to focus the topic better and evaluate the information even as the user is able to access library catalogs and databases from home, office, and school.
'''The Future: Digital Library'''
An example of a totally digital and commercial library would be Microsoft's http://Corbis.com. This huge database comprises the largest collection of digital art and photography in the world, and half a million individuals visit this digital art library each day via the Internet. In the past, the library was a building that was expensive to build and operate. Being in the digital era when someone might think books are dead, with or without a physical environment, a digital library is definitely the future (Harris).

== Integrating Library Resources into Course Management Systems ==
'''Introduction'''
New technologies and programs for learning are transforming higher education institutions at an unprecedented rate. Libraries have been the mainstay in colleges and universities around the world for centuries. It is here that the learner can seek, find, rummage through, and summarize knowledge resources. It is here that learners feel the presence of thought leaders in any discipline they desire. It is here that the starting point for millions of inspired individuals takes place each day. Yet it is also a place in trouble and in need of revisioning so that libraries can lead and support the learning quests of the twentyfirst century.
One area of obvious change and transformation in higher education is the emergence of blended and fully online learning. But it is not just the emergence, but the quick embracing of it by tens of thousands of learners as well as countless educators, policy makers, and other world leaders. Universities have fashioned new undergraduate, master's, and doctoral degrees as well as certificate programs. As colleges and universities increase the number of online courses and hybrid or blended courses that they offer, it is imperative that the library finds ways to support this new type of teaching and learning environment. If libraries fail to provide support, they risk being regarded as irrelevant at a time when they may be able to offer services and support in ways that were unimaginable in the past. In the OLCOS Roadmap 2012 (2007), libraries are viewed as an inhibitor in that they may have difficulty finding their place a technology-focused world - that is, unless they learn to better adapt to online environments and the behaviors exhibited in these spaces. Further, as more online resources become available, libraries must find ways to purchase and market these resources to students in both hybrid and distance education courses. With so much information freely available, it is also important for libraries to assist students in evaluating the information available. This is particularly true when reviewing and selecting online sources that can be written by anyone.
The library can play a major role in assisting students in becoming critical thinkers and life-long learners. However, to be successful, they must take advantage of new technologies and the learning preferences of digital natives as well as digital immigrants such as the so called "Baby Boomers." In order to adequately support the 21st century classroom, libraries must know what students and faculty want or need from the library. To determine students needs, the library must first understand them--their culture, learning preferences, technology backgrounds and experiences, and learning goals. Through online and traditional face-to-face courses, colleges and universities are now serving a wide variety of students. Students currently enrolled in academic institutions are extremely different from students in college 20 or 30 years ago. Those enrolled in courses now are nontraditional students such as Baby Boomers (born between 1946 and 1964), as well as students referred to as the Net Generation, or those born after 1980 (Hartman, Moskal & Dziuban, 2005; Oblinger & Oblinger, 2005).
The Net Generation (Net Gen), also referred to as Digital Natives, are students that are “accustomed to multimedia environments: figuring things out for themselves without consulting manuals; working in groups; and multitasking” (Lippincott 2005. Net Gen students are comfortable with technology and spend a lot of time using social software such as Facebook, MySpace, and instant messaging. Net Gen students often prefer instant messaging and text-messaging to e-mail. In addition, these students “are more comfortable with image-rich environments than with text...and will refuse to read large amounts of text” (Oblinger & Oblinger, 2005). They also prefer to learn through by discovery instead being told. It should be noted that any person that uses technology heavily will exhibit characteristics of the Net Generation regardless of age (Oblinger & Oblinger, 2005). Christopher Dede (2005) at Harvard also recognizes the effects of technology on individuals, regardless of their generation, and refers to the formation of a neomillennial learning style.
Different students have different needs. This can be seen in the dissimilarities between Baby Boomers and Net Gen students. For example, Baby Boomers did not grow up with technology and sometimes have trouble getting technology to work for them. They are also used to being told how to find or locate information. When these students return to school they are most interested in convenience and flexibility, and ultimately obtaining a degree or certificate. In addition, they report being generally satisfied with online courses. This is in contrast to traditional-age students who are often interested in the social aspects of college. (Oblinger & Oblinger, 2005). The challenge for librarians, as well as everyone in higher education, is to provide meaningful learning to digital natives who are technologically-savvy, as well as Baby Boomers who may not be as comfortable navigating various online arenas. Libraries have to provide instruction and other services that will address the needs of both groups of students - individuals who very often want information in different formats.
While younger students tend to be more visual and like to explore instead of being told information, they also want personalized assistance. In addition, these students expect services to be relevant to their needs and available at the point of need. To help deal with this challenge, the Association of College and Research Libraries, a professional organization which focuses on issues important to libraries in higher education, adopted the “Guidelines for Distance Learning Library Services” ([http://www.ala.org/ala/acrl/acrlstandards/guidelinesdistancelearning.cfm]). Many libraries use these guidelines when developing and evaluating services for distance education students. Among other things, these guidelines recommend that distance education students receive access to services and resources that are comparable to those received by students and faculty in traditional face-to-face courses.
'''Course Management Systems'''
The current trend in libraries to support e-learning and hybrid courses is by incorporating library services and resources into Course Management Systems (CMS). CMS are online software applications that assist faculty in using technology. They typically include discussion boards, online chat, and email. Syllabi, announcement boards, and digital drop boxes are also available to help instructors manage course information for individual classes (Gibbons, 2005a). While the term CMS itself is extremely common, these types of software applications are referred to by many names, including virtual learning environments (VLEs), course-management software packages, course management systems, learning-management software, e-Courseware, and virtual courses (Gibbons, 2005a).
Since students frequently use CMS to access course information, libraries have begun to support student learning by incorporating their own component into the CMS. Another reason why libraries are investigating the addition of library services to CMS is that students are more interested in resources that are applicable to a particular course. While it is true that libraries frequently set up their websites to support student research based on discipline, this does not help students who are looking for specific resources and may not think of materials in terms of particular disciplines (Reeb & Gibbons, 2004). Because of this, libraries have realized that their services and resources must be incorporated into the CMS, as the CMS can “serve as the door to the library” (Gibbons 24).
In her article “Strategies for the Library: CMS Integration Barriers,” Gibbons discusses two ways of incorporating the library into the CMS: at the macro-level and micro-level. At the macro-level, the library is added to the CMS in a more basic manner. A link to the library’s web site or online catalog can be added to the main menu; alternatively, a subject guide relevant to the course can added to the CMS (Gibbons 24). Libraries can also create videos or podcasts that explain how to use resources or teach students concepts such as effective search strategies. These resources can then be added to the CMS for students to access. The CMS can also be set up to allow students to instant message librarians. This would allow students to easily send messages to the librarian when they need help.
Students who visit the library’s web site may find it difficult to locate the appropriate resources. By adding these features to the CMS, students are able to quickly locate library resources and communicate with a librarian. While these tools can also be put on the library’s web site, many students may not visit the library’s web site when doing research. Instead, they may first go to Google or another search engine. In the end, adding a library component to the CMS may result in more students using library resources. When this occurs in large scale or small scale online learning initiatives, the role of the is definitely enhanced.
While the macro-level integration is a way to easily incorporate the library into a course, that alone merely provides general support designed for a large group of students. Certainly, some students may find this to be beneficial; however, it is not the personalized and individualized assistance that many Net Gen students desire. One way to provide more fine-grained (i.e., micro-level) or personalized assistance to these students is through a course guide instead of a subject guide. A course guide can include a list of specific resources appropriate for a particular class. At Indiana University at Bloomington, for example, librarians create course guides that often include the librarian’s contact information, recommended key words, and a list of the best resources for locating materials for course assignments.
Another innovative approach that may satisfy the needs of the Net Gen students is known as the “embedded librarian.” The Community College of Vermont is one institution that allowed librarians to be teaching assistances for online courses. In this situation, the librarians participated in discussion forums related to research assignments. The librarians were also able to post research tips, as well as set up online discussion forums explaining their role and inviting students to ask questions. These services were ones that the students at this institution appreciated and responded to in a positive manner. For this type of program to be successful, however, the library needs to have the support of faculty – individuals who traditionally are not accustomed to having librarians involved in their courses. Those involved in the program also found that this service is more successful when faculty encourage students to take part in the discussions. Additionally, it is critical to provide access to the librarians at the point of need, such as when students are working on a research paper (Matthew and Schroeder 61).
Other ways librarians can interact with students is through virtual office hours. Details about this service can be conveyed to students in three ways: first, librarians who have course privileges can send an email message to students notifying them of their hours; second, an announcement can be posted to the CMS; and third, the librarians can ask instructors to convey this information to the students. Gibbons discusses Cox’s suggestion of sending out a notice as to the time the librarian will be logged in and asking students to stop by to discuss their research (Gibbons 31). To accommodate the greatest number of individuals, librarians can contact students to determine what days and times would fit their schedules. If possible, librarians can also have office hours more than once a week.
In order to serve the needs of certain types of students, after-hours and more informal sessions may be needed. Because Net Gen students as well as non-traditional students may stay up until the early morning hours, librarians can assist by offering reference beyond the normal hours. For distance education students, it may be important for librarians or support staff to hold office hours in the evening or at night. During mid-terms and final exams, the librarian can schedule “night owl hours” to appeal to students who need help at the last minute. If an online course has social interaction activities such as coffeehouse hours, librarians can join in these activities, as well.
There are many benefits related to the micro-level integration of library services into the CMS. Because students may view these materials as part of the course, they may be more likely to utilize library services if they are embedded into the CMS. Also, librarians who are successful in establishing a positive relationship with students through their interactions in the CMS can be helpful contacts in the future should a librarian not be part of the ensuing courses. Due to the increased exposure to and familiarity with these resources and services, students may also seek out the library in general such when doing research in the future.
While there are many positive aspects associated with this approach, it is important to keep in mind some of the challenges librarians may face, as well. For example, the primary disadvantage of adding a library presence to the CMS is that it is extremely time consuming. Most librarians do not have time to serve as an embedded librarian or hold virtual office hours. While creating course pages can be less demanding, it too can be time consuming depending on the tools available in the library. However, some librarians have found that an efficient way to create a customized guide is by building on a more generic one. Instead of creating totally new guides for each course, the librarian can add or remove resources as necessary from a generic guide. The micro approach also requires the librarian to rely on the faculty member. If faculty members do not allow the librarian to take part in the course in a meaningful way, then it does not benefit the student.

'''Marketing Library Services'''
Regardless of the approach used, macro or micro, it is important for librarians to market their services. The library often offers services that faculty and students (both face-to-face and those taking courses at a distance) do not realize exist. In a study on Pennsylvania State University’s World Campus (note: Penn State World Campus courses are conducted at a distance), the results indicate that students were “relatively uninformed of the wealth of library resources and services afforded them”(Moyo & Cahoy 352). However, if students know about the services, then they are more likely to use them.
One method for marketing the services is to do so via the CMS. The CMS administrator can include campus news and updates in a highly visible location, such as the main menu. Library news and offerings can be added to the campus news section to allow students to learn of new services (Lawrence 237). The library can also add an RSS feed to the CMS to enable students to subscribe to news updates. In addition, the librarian can add an RSS feed to individual course pages that would allow students to be notified when the page is updated. If the instructor already has an RSS feed, the librarian can ask the instructor to add library content to the feeds. Ultimately, the hope is that these actions will increase the likelihood that the students will access library generated content.
As mentioned earlier, part of the library’s success relies on faculty buy-in. Students are more likely to use the library if the faculty member requires or recommends the use of library materials and services to students. Instructors spend a substantial amount of time with students and can be an effective means of generating interest in the library.
'''Conclusion'''
While Course Management Systems may require more work for librarians due to the responsibility of creating and updating tutorials and guides that are added to the CMS, when effectively planned out, designed, and integrated, librarians will have a stronger connection to faculty and students. To create customized guides, librarians will need to have a deeper understanding of individual courses, which will result in librarians communicating more frequently with instructors (Gibbons 44). As a result of the close contact with faculty, librarians will also know when course offerings change and when instructors decide to take a new approach to teaching a course. Librarians who have a more intimate knowledge of courses can order materials that will benefit the courses being taught, which will also improve the collection development for that subject.
At a time when the relevancy of libraries are often questioned in higher education--especially in situations wherein higher education is being required to constantly assess the teaching and learning environments--a CMS can offer librarians a way to remain relevant to both students and faculty. Through increased interaction, both students and faculty will be able to see the difference a librarian can make in courses. This type of presence also sends a message to students and faculty that the library is concerned with their needs. To more fully realize the potential of libraries in the CMS, librarians need to encourage library vendors to utilize OpenURL options and allow feeds to be generated from electronic resources (Gibbons 45) Moreover, librarians need to form a partnership with faculty, as well as the Information Technology department, to be active in the development of the CMS and promote the addition of library services into the CMS whenever possible.
We are in a world rich with information and learning opportunities. With proper vision and leadership, libraries will continue to offer access to these resources for the vast majority of learners. This is a key point since the number of learners continues to proliferate each year with additional fully online and blended learning opportunities. As such, the role of the library in this online world should simultaneously rise in prominence as well. We will see.

== The Librarian’s Role in supporting Online Learning : How the Librarian can support online courses ==
'''Introduction'''
The rapid evolution of information technology has contributed to more information exchange and information needs from library and librarian. In the new digital age, students need to find and use various online resources. And in this technology-focused era, information literacy is gaining importance. In the 21st century, librarians face more challenges due to recent technology growth; thus, necessitating a professional and user's depth dependence more than was experienced just 10 years ago. How can we play the role of Librarian 2.0 in supporting online learning? These are issues that are discussed in this section.
'''The Role of Librarian 2.0 '''
In light of the rapid evolution of technology and information, today’s librarian must learn how to use and access information through the latest technologies, such as RSS, wikis, blog, podcasting, and open access resources. As David Lee King (2007) suggests, those who are a Librarian 2.0 have a Library 2.0 job. To King, this is obvious. He states that if the job consists of implementing emerging web 2.0 technologies and other trends, then the individual is probably a Librarian 2.0. In some cases, the job title may be different, but part of the tasks involves the implementation of emerging trends regardless. This could be as part of the librarians’ job or activities they do as part of their professional interests. Alternatively, the use of these technologies may not be part of the job. In the librarians’ personal time, they may author a blog, set up a Facebook account, or monitor multiple instant messenger accounts.
Stephen Abram (2006), Vice President for Innovation at the SirsiDynix, believes that the Librarian 2.0 understands their users at a deeper level, understands end users in terms of their goals and aspirations, workflows, and social and content needs. In other words, he considers the Librarian 2.0 to be a “guru of the information age” (Abram, 2006). To summarize, Abram points out that the Librarian 2.0 strives to do the following: understand the power of the Web 2.0 opportunities; learn the major tools of Web 2.0 and Library 2.0; and combine e-resources and print formats. Abram also notes that the Librarian 2.0 is container and format agnostic; is device independent and uses and delivers to everything from laptops to PDAs to iPods. He also notes that these individuals develop targeted federated searches and adopts the OpenURL standard; connect people and technology and information in context; doesn’t shy away from non-traditional cataloging and classification and chooses tagging, tag clouds, folksonomies, and user-driven content descriptions and classifications where appropriate.
Moreover, Abram argues that the these librarians embrace non-textual information and the power of pictures, moving images, sight, and sound; understand the “long tail” and leverages the power of old and new content; and see the potential in using content sources like the Open Content Alliance, Google Print, and Open WorldCat. And finally, Abram ends his list by suggesting that those who fit the Librarian 2.0 model connect users to expert discussions, conversations, and communities of practice and participates there as well; use the latest tools of communication (such as Skype) to connect content, expertise, information coaching, and people; use and develops advanced social networks to enterprise advantage; connect with everyone using their communication mode of choice – telephone, virtual reference, i.e. Skype, IM, SMS or email just to name a few; encourage user driven metadata and user developed content and commentary; and understands the wisdom of crowds and the emerging roles and impacts of the blogosphere, Web syndicasphere and wikisphere. Are you beginning to prepare to become a Librarian's 2.0? Did you think Stephen Abram’s suggestions will difficult to accomplish? In the next paragraph, I will introduce the skills and traits of the Librarian 2.0.
'''The Skill of Librarian 2.0'''
Technology is changing rapidly, and with these new devices come an increase in the amount of information that is available. This in turn places more demands on the reader. How do individuals prepare to become a Librarian 2.0 and support the user’s online learning needs? Those who want to become a Librarian 2.0 and focus on reference services can follow Michael Stephens’ (2007) outline of Librarian 2.0 skills. He argues individuals who are classified as a Librarian 2.0 must do the following:
<ul>
<li>Librarian 2.0 plans for his users: This librarian bases all planning and proposals for services, materials and outreach on user needs and wants, and tells users how resources and funds will be expended.
<li>Librarian 2.0 embraces Web 2.0 tools: This librarian uses Instant Messaging (such as AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Google talk messengers)to meet users in their space online, builds weblogs and wikis as resources to further the mission of the library, and provide RSS service to announce the newsletters, and mashes up content via API (Application Program Interface) to build useful Web sites.
<li>Librarian 2.0 controls techno lust: This librarian does not worship blindly information and technology. This librarian uses technology to meet the needs of users and improve the users' experience.
<li>Librarian 2.0 makes good, yet fast decisions: This librarian recognizes how quickly the world and library users change with advancing technology.
<li>Librarian 2.0 is a trend spotter: This librarian seeks out information and news that may impact future services, and understands the impact of technology on users.
<li>Librarian 2.0 gets content: This librarian understands that the future of libraries will be guided by how users access, consume and create content. In addition, this librarian will help users become their own programming director for all of the content available to them.
</ul>
'''Conclusion'''
After reading the pronouncements made by individuals, such as Stephen Abram and Michael Stephens, will librarians have a clearer understanding of the Librarian's 2.0 or have confidence to become a Librarian 2.0? The work by Stephen Abram and Michael Stephens can be used as a strategy guide, and both authors provide suggestions that can serve as a good model for any level library of librarian. If individuals in this profession are prepared to adopt the role and acquire the skills of a Librarian 2.0, then it is likely that they will be in a position to provide good service and suitable online instruction for their users. Although using new technology as a teaching tool can be an extremely laborious process, helping users find the information they need is an essential part of the librarians’ mission.

== КАТАЛОГ ==
: ''Перенесено со страницы [[w:ru:Обсуждение Википедии:Проект:Филателия/Архив-2007 (сентябрь—октябрь)]]''
Предлагаю создать страницы: каталог марок СССР и каталог марок России с указанием № ЦФА и ИТЦ, и других каталожных номеров (какие найдем в инете) с колонкой на английском языке. Указывать так же год выпуска, номинал. Вместо изображений марок - ссылки на них на викисклад. С сортировкой по годам и по каталожным номерам. Если приживется, то по-тихоньку и по другим странам можно создать. --Mariluna 11:42, 18 сентября 2007 (UTC)
: Мысль хорошая, но есть ряд моментов: (1) это очень трудоёмкая задача, Вы готовы сами выполнить хотя бы 50%, если да, то начинайте. Вряд ли стоит надеяться на других, увы. Нет ничего, хуже, чем висящий жалкий недоконченый список из нескольких пунктов, который рано или поздно "активисты" удаляют из ВИКИ. (2) Если создавать, то озаглавить его не каталогом, а списком. (3) Подходит ли такой каталог Википедии? Не удалят ли его по такой причине? Было бы обидно. Надо этот вопрос изучить. В принципе что-то подобное я, кажется, видел в англ. ВП по паре-тройке стран. Или, может, этот проект стоит создавать в рамках Вики-учебника? (4) Вряд ли можно будет залить на склад ВСЕ марки... Да и ни к чему, наверно. (5) Кстати, я уже давно размышляю насчёт создания в Вики каталога календариков (коллекционирую предвыборные календарики). В отличие от марок, которых десятки каталогов существуют, каталогов календариков фактически нет ни одного. Слишком дёшев объект собирательства. И вот тут встаёт главный вопрос, ЗАЧЕМ нужен такой каталог марок в ВП, по Вашему мнению? --[[Участник:Л.П. Джепко|Л.П. Джепко]] 14:32, 18 сентября 2007 (UTC)
:: Чтобы привести в порядок закачанные марки, чтобы можно было видеть, какие из них есть на складе. Я посмотрела, в инете нет нормального каталога по маркам, с указанием каталожных номеров по Скотту, Мишелю, с переводом на английский. У меня есть некоторые каталоги, могла бы начать. Кто поможет? Кто поддерживает идею?--Mariluna 16:15, 18 сентября 2007 (UTC)
::: Думаю, для Википедии было бы гораздо уместнее изложение предмета в виде, сходном с брошюрой Н.И.Владинца "Филателистическая география. Советский союз" - М.: Радио и связь, 1982. А вот к нему уже органически присоседить список с каталожными номерами по всем каталогам и ссылками на Викисклад. По крайней мере у меня бы такая статья вопросов бы не вызвала. Но! Нафига делать работу, которая и так уже сделана Владинцом и ЦФА? Судя по всему, цели столь трудоёмкого проекта сугубо технические (систематизировать филателистический Викисклад) - стоит ли затрачивать столько усилий, имея на выходе столь небольшой выхлоп? [[Участник:Nickpo|Nickpo]] 16:21, 18 сентября 2007 (UTC)
:::: Марилуна: посмотрел я в англ. википедии уже создан целый ряд списков марок по тематикам. Думаю, такое же можно начать и у нас, если есть желание - создавайте по Вашей любимой теме (темам), скажем - награды на марках, а там, может, народ и подтянется. Только вначале надо тщательно обдумать форму таблицы. Я-то сам википедист, но не филателист. Собираю каким-то боком календарики, значки, но только в части освещения избирательных кампаний. А в филателии разбираюсь постольку, поскольку был членом КЮФ в детстве. А каталоги марок - это интерес филателистов прежде всего. --[[Участник:Л.П. Джепко|Л.П. Джепко]] 17:47, 28 сентября 2007 (UTC)
Мария, видели ли Вы, что я уже написал Вам по этому поводу на Вашей складской [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Mariluna#wikibooks:World_Stamp_Catalogue страничке] обсуждения? Такой википроект уже давно существует — [[:wikibooks:World Stamp Catalogue]]. При желании к нему можно просто подключиться и создавать разделы для СССР, России и других стран. —[[Участник:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 03:42, 2 ноября 2007 (UTC)
Здравствуйте! Извините, что долго не отвечала. Видела. Но там совсем мало сделано. Я еще думаю как лучше делать каталог по темам или по годам или по странам и по годам. И где? На складе, чтобы был общим для всех, или на рувики, с колонкой на англ. языке или без? Если есть какие предложения пишите. А то информация большая, не хочется по 100 раз переделывать. Все года каталога СССР на одной странице не помещаются по размеру. А как лучше разбить не знаю.--[[Участник:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 18:11, 4 ноября 2007 (UTC)
И ещё - марок для каталога маловато закачано на склад. Нужно их поднакопить. А то по маркам СССР совсем мало. Только последние годы - более менее имеются--[[Участник:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 18:15, 4 ноября 2007 (UTC)
: Мое мнение: такой каталог должен однозначно создаваться в рамках спецпроекта [[:wikibooks:World Stamp Catalogue]]. То, что там мало сделано, не страшно. Присоединение к проекту новых участников и использование ботов для заливки информации и имиджей из других электронных ресурсов помогут развитию проекта. Дублировать, Мария, не стоит: только распылять свои силы будете. Кроме того, подобный каталог — это явно не формат для склада и рувики, которые не предназначены для создания каталогов вообще. Смотрите общие задачи и описания этих проектов. Делать на [[:wikibooks:World Stamp Catalogue]] нужно, конечно же, для начала не по темам (хотя такая категоризация тоже там предусмотрена), а по странам и по годам. Мне будет жаль, если мне не удастся Вас переубедить по этому вопросу. Надеюсь, что другие участники филпроекта тоже выскажутся. С уважением, —[[Участник:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 19:19, 4 ноября 2007 (UTC)
:: Вот, кстати, чем неудобен движок ВП - в нём нельзя сделать сразу и сортировку по темам, и сортировку по странам, и сортировку по годам. То есть можно, но только через механизм Категорий и Шаблонов - что явно не так удобно, как, допустим, через метки-теги. Теоретически в ВП есть такая штука как таблицы с возможностью клика по каждой колонке и перестройки её позиций в соответствие с выбранным критерием. Но это тоже не так удобно (всё равно юзеру придётся кликать по каждой позиции, чтобы увидеть подробности). Может, стоит просто подождать, пока движок эволюционирует? И не торопить события right now, делая напрасный труд по вбиванию фактуры, которой будет сложно пользоваться? [[Участник:Nickpo|Nickpo]] 04:16, 5 ноября 2007 (UTC)
Да, на счёт викибук, то это английская версия. А нам нужен русский каталог. А если русский каталог, то значит на русском викибуке. А здесь нет филателии. Следовательно, либо викисклад, доступный и общий для всех стран, а не только для России или США, или на рувики.--[[Участник:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 21:28, 4 ноября 2007 (UTC)
Лучше от туда перенести статьи на склад. Я так думаю.--[[Участник:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 21:30, 4 ноября 2007 (UTC)
: Еше раз хочу Вам сказать, что ни Склад, ни Рувики ни по своим задачам, ни по формату не приемлемы для создания такого каталога. К Вам там сразу будут претензии в сочетании с шаблоном "К удалению". Никто не запрещает Вам на [[:wikibooks:World Stamp Catalogue]] создавать русский каталог с английским параллельным переводом. Или, уж если на то пошло, можно делать чисто русский каталог в [http://ru.wikibooks.org/wiki/%D0%97%D0%B0%D0%B3%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B0 русском разделе] wikibooks, но потом всё равно кому-то придется выполять повторно ту же самую работу на [[:wikibooks:World Stamp Catalogue]]. Не проще ли сразу присоединиться к глобальному проекту? Вы мне объясните, почему Вы так категорически настроены против [[:wikibooks:World Stamp Catalogue]]? :) --[[Участник:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 21:47, 4 ноября 2007 (UTC)
1. Там не глобальный проект, а местный, американский. Совсем не развит.
2. В категориях на викискладе гораздо больше марок закачано, чем представлено в этих каталогах.
3. Делать каталог на викибуке будет гораздо труднее по техническим причинам. И будет неудобно смотреть информацию по маркам. Так как сначала идёт ссылка на викисклад. Чтобы посмотреть информацию по марке, нужно будет 2 раза нажимать на её изображении.
4. На викискладе тоже есть статьи, и не мало. И на русском и на английском. И создаются они в этих же категориях, что и изображения. Бывает что отдельно.--[[Участник:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 22:06, 4 ноября 2007 (UTC)
: Попробую еще раз Вам объяснить:
: 1. Почему Вы решили, что это «не глобальный проект, а местный, американский»? Читаем:
<blockquote>Wikibooks '''World''' Stamp Catalogue<br />
A catalogue of postage stamps '''from around the world'''
</blockquote>
: То, что Вы увидели там американский раздел (а есть еще на данный момент 7 стран Европы, Новая Зеландия и Китай в разной степени проработки), означает лишь то, что пока к проекту подключилось не так уж много людей, каждый из которых взял какую-нибудь одну страну. Вот Вы создадите раздел для Советского Союза — сделаете хороший вклад. Почитайте описание проекта: [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Talk:World_Stamp_Catalogue], [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/World_Stamp_Catalogue/Numbering_System], [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/World_Stamp_Catalogue/Common_themes], [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/World_Stamp_Catalogue/Stamp_Inclusion_policy] и другое там же.
: 2. Марки со склада легко внести в каталог.
: 3. Информацию не надо смотреть на викискладе, Вы ее тут же прописываете, используя [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Template:World_Stamp_Catalogue шаблон]. Изображения, как я уже сказал, переносятся со склада. Причем, для этой цели можно использовать бот. Вам для переноса ничего не придется делать — за Вас это может автоматически сделать бот. Хотите, я попрошу знакомого ботовода помочь с ботом?
: 4. Дело, конечно, Ваше, если Вы хотите затеять Ваш проект на складе. Не буду Вас больше переубеждать. Очень жаль, что мне это не удалось сделать. —[[Участник:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 03:04, 5 ноября 2007 (UTC)
:: Дорогая Мария, позвольте и мне поддержать Мишу. В Википедии однозначно не разрешат каталог вести и уберут рано или поздно. В отношении Викисклада тоже я сильно сомневаюсь. Там чрезмерно жёсткая политика в отношении авторских прав, причём ещё могут убрать Ваши тексты в любой момент, сказав, что это склад для картинок, а не для текстов. А вот на wikibooks проект уже давно существует. американский раздел очень глубоко проработан, а мы давайте просто добавим СССР и Россию. С переводами я помогу. Сделаем каталог двуязычным - это вообще будет ценный уникальный продукт. Принципы нумерации там уже разработаны. (Чужую нумерацию ведь использовать нельзя - авторское право. Плюс будем давать перекрёстные ссылки на другие каталоги. По этой теме было обсуждение, и решили, что если давать ссылки на 2 каталога сразу или больше, то это не будет нарушением АП.) Если решите начинать, я могу перевести их на русский. Сделаем двуязычные таблицы-шаблоны. Будете заполнять на русском, а я могу помочь с переводом на английский и наоборот.<small>— ''Это сообщение написал{{gender switch|{{{gender|}}}|а|}}, но не [[Википедия:Подписывайтесь на страницах обсуждения|подписал{{gender switch|{{{gender|}}}|ась|ся}}]] участни{{gender switch|{{{gender|}}}|ца|к}}'' [[Участник:Л.П.

* (1) Создал страницу для СССР здесь: [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/World_Stamp_Catalogue/Soviet_Union]. Пока это только набросок. Пример нужно подогнать под конкретную марку СССР (у меня просто перевод с английского для марки США). Смотрите и дополняйте/исправляйте прямо там.
* (2) Мария, с шаблоном таблицы надо поработать вместе со спецами. Николай? Андрей? Поможете? Тут я пас. Тут надо бы учесть особенности именно марок СССР. Либо взять как есть и просто писать внутри имеющихся граф подробнее. Кто нам это запрещает?
* (3) Кстати, насколько я понимаю это всё же шаблон сплошной таблицы для списка, а не для отдельной марки. Просто добавляются ряды внутри него. Русский и английский тексты можно писать через дробь: English / Русский, или на отдельных строках. --[[User:Leonid Dzhepko|Leonid Dzhepko]] 12:43, 5 ноября 2007 (UTC)

: Обрати внимание [[w:ru:Википедия:Список Википедий|вот на эту таблицу]]. Там в каждой колонке даны такие стрелочки в квадратике. Нажатие на квадратик выстраивает список по возрастанию или убыванию параметра. Имхо, надо изначально заложить такую же штуку и в каталог. [[User:Nickpo|Nickpo]] 15:42, 5 ноября 2007 (UTC)
::: А зачем такая сортировка в принципе нужна здесь? Сортировать по колонкам «Рисунок» (явно не нужно), «Описание», «Каталоги» и «Примечания»? Если у нас будут подстраницы по годам, большой пользы от такой сортировки внутри одного года не вижу. —[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 17:56, 5 ноября 2007 (UTC)

:::::: Для каждого филателиста существует каталог, который он считает "за основу" - так исторически складывается. Не вижу оснований для жёсткого диктата нумерации Вики-каталога над альтернативными - пусть она будет по дефолту, но пусть, также, будет и возможность перестроить список под привычные критерии, почему нет? И потом: а ты уверен, что нам не нужны таблицы марок по десятилетиям, по темам, по регионам, по континентам, по империям\колониям и т.д.? Мне кажется, что нам изначально следует установить в качестве стандарта наличие возможности альтернативного выстраивания списков - это bon ton, что ли.

:: Замечательно. А к ботоводу смысла обращаться, как выяснилось, нет. На викибуке используется тот же стандартный принцип вызывания имиджа со склада: '''<nowiki>[[Image:имя файла|thumb]]</nowiki>.

* Спасибо, Андрей! Добавил английские видовые названия к черноморской фауне. Вопросы:
# Будем ли мы сами переводить на английский названия марок и серий? Или их можно брать из англоязычных каталогов, чтобы было корректно и быстро?
# Будем ли давать внутренние ссылки на русские и английские викистатьи? Для примера: 75-летие со дня рождения <nowiki>[[:ru:Керес, Пауль|П. П. Кереса]]</nowiki>. (Так мне кажется корректней по сравнению с вариантом Андрея через http.)
# Нужны ли точки в конце «Описаний» тех или иных марок? По-моему, не [http://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=World_Stamp_Catalogue%2FSoviet_Union%2F1991&diff=1021645&oldid=1021640 нужны].

*
# С английским у меня проблема, что-то могу брать из Скотта, но там не всё.
# ИМХО, ссылки нужны, для гипертекстовой связи каталога с Википедией. (Да, так намного лучше).
# Нет, точки не нужны.
# Можно сделать так: тираж/issued: 1800. [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 00:54, 6 ноября 2007 (UTC)
* Тиражи подправил. А с гиперссылками возни будет много. Фактически их поиск и вставка будет занимать столько же времени, сколько создание самой таблицы. :( Сужу по своему первому опыту для черноморской фауны. Кстати, более правильный формат гиперссылки: <nowiki>[[w:ru:Керес, Пауль|П. П. Кереса]]</nowiki>, а для английских - просто <nowiki>[[w:Spiny dogfish|Spiny dogfish]]</nowiki>. —[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 01:36, 6 ноября 2007 (UTC)
*Здравствуйте! Я вчера рано отключилась, поэтому не была в курсе обсуждений. Не торопитесь заполнять таблицы, т.к. мы еще не проработали шаблон. Предлагаю добавить отдельные колонки по тиражу, легче заполнять будет, добавить колонку с номиналом, колонки цены гашеной и не гашеной марки. Таблицу по красивее оформить: толщину линий сделать тоньше, и цвет другой.--[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 07:34, 6 ноября 2007 (UTC)
* Может дату, чтобы не переводить, ставить в такой форме 10.04.1991?--[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 07:37, 6 ноября 2007 (UTC)
** В таком случае формат должен быть таким: '''1991-04-10'''. Иначе Ваша сортировка по дате будет бессмысленна. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 18:35, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
* Михаил, гиперссылки можно будет добавить позднее, сейчас главное довести до ума шаблон и залить таблицы, а это самое, ИМХО, сложное. Марина, можно разделить колонку "Примечания" на две: "Художники" и "Тираж", а сами примечания писать внизу, как я это уже сделал. Номинал записывать таким образом: "0.10", "1.20", впрочем, как и с датой. Цвет любой на Ваш вкус, заказывайте. :) А вот насчёт цены на гашёные и негашёные с этим бы я связываться не стал, потому что по какому каталогу их определять, это во-первых, а во вторых, они меняются каждый год. Так что это очень муторное занятие, его ИМХО, лучше не начинать. [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 08:27, 6 ноября 2007 (UTC)

# Как я подозреваю, цены могут быть защищены авторским правом и, кроме того, меняются каждый год, кто будет их постоянно обновлять? Если же этого не делать систематически, то нашим ценам никто верить не будет, и какой тогда от них толк?

А раз мои доводы бессмыссленны, то нужно предложить что то новое взамен, на базе существующего. Итак:
# Номинал всё-таки надо вынести перед описанием (как во всех каталогах)
# Для зубцовки не нужна отдельная колонка, обозначение зубцовки ставить в описании.
# Для различных каталогов сделать различные по цвету полосы. [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 18:16, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
*Андрей! Чем больше украшательств, тем дольше будет грузится страница. Поэтому я не делала разноцветные колонки. Вы посмотрите на код своего шаблона (сколько текста!) и на код моего. А у Вас с этим перебор. Номинал лучше в конце, он нужен филателистам, а другим участникам всякие циферки не нужны. Им нужна картинка с описанием. Поэтому я поставила в своём шаблоне такой порядок. Зубцовку могу переделать. Ваша первоначальная таблица тоже хороша, но не для каталога по годам, а для каталога по темам - птицы, рыбы и т.д. Тут можно размер марки менять.--[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 18:54, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
* Различные по цвету полосы для различных каталогов, по-моему, тоже перебор. Тут дело даже не во времени загрузки (компьютеру, по-моему, всё равно). Излишняя расцветка мешает восприятию информации, отвлекает. Сделай лучше как у меня. И в шапке английские названия тоже на первое место поставь. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 19:15, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Не пойму, что можно здесь сортировать? [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 15:35, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
: Лично мне нравится сортировать по номерам и по тексту. А вообще: нумерация по каталогам не совпадает. Поэтому марки при сортировке будут по-разному расположены. Так же в такой форме заполнять таблицы будет легче. Сортировка по художникам, по дате, тиражу. Марилуна.
:: Ваша задумка, делайте что хотите, только в таком случае весь год придётся давать сплошняком в таблице, следовательно, табличка будет нехилых размеров, да и какой смысл в сортировке марок ОДНОГО года мне не понять. Если будет голосование, то я за первый вариант. [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 19:08, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
:: С точки зрения загрузки, то мой вариант будет меньше места занимать, так как шапка таблицы будет в самом начале страницы, а не для каждой марки. Килобайты экономии. И заполнять только содержимое таблицы, а не вставлять каждый раз таблицу проще. Подумайте над этим.--[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 19:26, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
::: Делайте, что хотите. [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 19:49, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
:::Андрей, Вы что обиделись? Я просто предложила свой вариант. Если не нравится, пишите свои замечания. --[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 19:54, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
:::: Делайте, а я пока посмотрю. [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 20:09, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
::::: Решительно поддерживаю Андрея, ибо:
* Если шапка таблицы будет только в самом начале, то уже через 10-15 рядов читателю будет непонятно где какая колонка, например, где номер по Иверу, а где по Скотту. В результате придётся всё время бегать вверх-вниз, пытаясь глазами удержать положение колонки.
* Одна бесконечная таблица со множеством однообразных рядов выглядит занудно нечитабельно. Мне по жизни осточертели эксэлевские таблицы. Если более пятидесяти рядов, то всё, отключка, до конца такие таблицы, по-моему, смотрят только бухгалтера. И то делают массу ошибок,потому что глаз соскакивает с рядов.
* Зачем нужна эта сортировка в пределах одного года, если из-за неё теряется наглядность? Обратите внимание, в предложенном американцами варианте каждая серия, и даже отдельная марка по новой теме отделены заголовком, что позволяет автоматически сформировать оглавление, выглядит красиво и упрощает поиск темы и навигацию по странице. А поиск номеров можно делать обычным поиском на странице, в конце-концов.
* Причём тут экономия байтов не пойму, не бумагу же экономим. Удобство пользования гораздо важнее. Лучше вставить таблицу один раз, чем потом всю оставшуюся жизнь мучиться с огромной безликой таблицей без навигации.
* А сортировку по художникам, по номерам, по тиражам или ещё как, вполне можно (и нужно) сделать отдельными списками, будет удобнее. И байты будут распределены равномернее.
Впрочем, поскольку Мария является инициатором этой идеи, собирается выполнить большую часть работы и, очевидно, будет пользоваться этим каталогом, будучи филателисткой (в отличие от меня), то ей и карты в руки. --[[User:Leonid Dzhepko|Leonid Dzhepko]] 20:22, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
: А я решительно поддерживаю Леонида и в его поддержке Андрея, и в резервировании широты технического маневра для Марии. Но все-таки хотелось бы, чтобы мы выработали какой-то наиболее приемлемый вариант. Попросил Якива и Романа (StraSSenBahn) заглянуть сюда в надежде, что они, как всегда, что-то ценное нам подскажут. Главное, как мне кажется, к чему мы должны стремиться, - техническая простота и в то же время техническая грамотность и функциональная целесообразность как с точки зрения читателей, так и с позиции "писателей" этих страниц. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 22:46, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
: Ребята, кто хорошо знаком, как выглядят англоязычные каталоги? Как переводятся в них "Дата", "Тираж", "Номинал"? Желательно, чтобы было как можно коротко для вставки в таблицу. Спасибо. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 05:36, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

:: То, что в текстах, примечаниях можно ссылаться на номер столбца --[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 19:51, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Ну что сказать, Мария? Ваша болванка для 1989 года смотрится неплохо. Только номинал укажите не в копейках (5 к.), а в формате: 0.05. У нас по деталям, вообще, пока что есть "разночтения". Надеюсь, все сообща придем к одному приемлемому формату. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 05:51, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
::: Я могу ещё понять смысл сортировки по каталожным номерам, может быть по художникам с большой натяжкой, но в чём смысл сортировки по дате, а тем более по описанию, изображению, тиражу, номиналу и зубцовке? По описанию вообще некорректно сортируется, так как буква "Ё" оказывается на последнем месте. Что может быть полезного в списке марок, построенных по номиналу или в списке марок с одинаковой зубцовкой? К тому же, при сортировке по зубцовке, в случаях с одинаковой зубцовкой, список строится опять таки по описанию, то есть не корректно - марки из одной серии могут быть расбросаны друг от друга на значительное расстояние. И ещё 1990-е годы - это лёгкие годы, где минимум разновидностей по печати и зубцовке, а что вы будете делать с 1930-ми годами и "золотым стандартом" и его десятком разновидностей? Подумайте об этом. [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 10:02, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
:::Андрей! Сортировка по изображению - сортируется каталожный номер вики. Сортировка по художнику тоже не плохо.
Можно сортировать по тиражам, будет видно редкие выпуски. А значит их ценность. Сортировка по описанию тоже пойдет. Можно посмотреть по алфавиту. Будут видны различные годовщины. Ну и наконец, сортировка по каталогам - интересная вещь. По крайней мере для меня. А по перфорации и по номиналу сортировать не нужно.--[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 14:23, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
:::Заполнила 1989 год полностью по номерам ЦФА. Немного дописав текст. Потратила на оформление около 4 часов.
А для Вашего шаблона, Андрей, сколько времени уйдет, чтобы заполнить весь год? Тем более, мою таблицу можно переделать легко. Можно потом добавить шапки для каждой серии, если так решим.
Для закачки 1989 г. я использовала программу Эксель. Всё разбивала на столбцы. Вплоть до знаков. (всего 35 столбцов). Потом размножила. Вставила текст. Скопировала в Ворд. Убрала лишние пробелы. И перенесла в инет. Попробуйте так же сделать другой год.--[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 14:31, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
:::: Маша, это хорошо, что Вы так здорово владеете различными программами. Вот с сортировкой не знаю, как быть. На данный момент мы используем параметр для всей таблицы - class="wikitable sortable". В этом случае мы показываем сортировку для всех столбцов. По-другому, нельзя. Если убрать class="wikitable sortable" - сортировка исчезает вообще. А вот есть ли код для отдельного столбца, который бы позволил показывать и задавать сортировку выборочно? Кто знает? Если такого нет, то нам нужно либо убрать сортировку в нынешнем виде, либо смириться с тем, что она показывается даже для ненужных столбцов. Третьего не дано? --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 17:47, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
::: Нужно выбирать нежные цвета, в соответствии с фоном. --[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 14:31, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
:::: Сочетание бледных голубого-розового-желтого, по-моему, как раз нежное. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 17:47, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Михаил, лучше убрать знак /, без него смотрится аккуратнее. И названия столбцов нужно сократить, т.к. из-за длинных названий ширина меняется, и растягивается по вертикали основной тект. --[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 19:10, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
: Сокращения вернул, добавил гиперссылок. Почему-то не подсвечивается желтым цветом последняя колонка. Как это делается? А вот по знаку / у меня возражения.

::: Мария, разобрался со столбцами, о которых Вы говорите. Во-первых, их вид на экране зависит от того, какой у Вас монитор и браузер. Поэтому для каждого юзера таблица может выглядеть по-разному. Мы тут особо ничего не можем поделать. На данный момент на моем мониторе (17 дюймов, на жидких кристаллах, браузер Mozilla) всё выглядит великолепно. Если у Вас монитор в 15 дюймов, могут быть искажения по ширине столбцов, точнее по их содержимому. Во-вторых, есть параметр width="ХХХ", с помощью которого легко выставить любую ширину колонки таблицы, что я и сделал. Посмотрите в код. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 05:33, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

*Может марки с белым фоном пересканировать на белом фоне, чтобы черной полоски не было. Так как эти марки темные, и белый будет контрастнее смотреться, а черная полоска сливается с маркой и зубцы плохо видно.--[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 08:10, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Мда, коллеги, ИМХО, мы слишком заморочились на шаблонах. Я посмотрел на уже проделанные здесь работы, всё везде просто и понятно. Без наворотов, но эффективно. ИМХО, конечно. Я, скорее всего, оставлю эту затею с каталогом, так как мне она уже не приносит никакого удовлетворения. [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 22:38, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
: И то правда, друзья, посмотрите, как [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/World_Stamp_Catalogue/China/1941 люди] реализуют уже имеющийся стандратный шаблон, что на самом деле обычная викитаблица. Простенько, лаконично, без наворотов и по делу. Я бы её только чуть-чуть подправил, увеличив общую ширину и добавив Valuation. И русский текст достаточен только для описания. Вопрос с сериями тоже решаем (см. пример ниже). Если марка одиночная, то в сине-зеленую строку вписывается только название выпуска. Если это серия, то, кроме ее названия, в сине-зеленую строку записываются все общие для данной серии элементы (художник, зубцовка и т.д.). Кто за? --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 00:03, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Знаете, самое трудное, это выбор шаблона. А потом марки добавлять можно уже по накатанной схеме. Будет обидно переделывать все года потом, когда кто-нибудь предложит шаблон еще лучше. Лучше утвердить один удобный шаблон для заполнения, чем каждый будет делать по-своему. Андрей настаивает на своём шаблоне. А Вы, Андрей, будете делать каталоги со своим шаблоном? Или только хотите шаблон утвердить и забыть про его существование. На дворе 2007 год, почему мы должны использовать старый 2006 г. шаблон, если можно его улучшить. --[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 08:31, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
:: Маша, я готов '''работать''' над проектом, а не переливать из пустого в порожнее с затягиванием выбора шаблона. Ведь, насколько я знаю, каталоги не у всех имеются, дабы нумерацию марок проставлять, тираж указывать и фамилию художника. [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 13:03, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
::: Да. Согласен. Давайте уже определяться. А каталогов - у меня так точно нет. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 19:02, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
: Маша, не ругайтесь, пожалуйста, и не обижайтесь. Андрей не меньше Вашего провозился с этим проектом и, тем не менее, не проголосовал за свой вариант. Поддерживаю Леонида: Ваш голос должен приравниваться как минимум к трём. Расклад на данный момент, Вы видите, какой:
:* Если Вы голосуете, как все (то есть, как трое, проголосовавших уже за один и тот же шаблон), проходит стандартный вариант (слегка мною подрихтованный).
:* Если голосуете за 2d (по-видимому, Ваш фаворит), я думаю, будет справедливо засчитать Вам сразу более 3 голосов и выдать Вам [[w:ru:карт-бланш|карт-бланш]] на осуществление всего проекта. Согласны?
: Ожидать новых голосов не приходится, если, конечно, не проявит себя Agent001, находившийся здесь на начальных этапах обсуждения. Якив на мой запрос (пока) не ответил. А Роман [http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9E%D0%B1%D1%81%D1%83%D0%B6%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5_%D1%83%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0:StraSSenBahn#World_Stamp_Catalogue.2FSoviet_Union уклонился] от обсуждения. Поэтому итог будем подводить, скорее всего, без них. Правда, есть еще другие участники и наблюдатели филпроекта. Можно, персонально обратиться и к ним. Мне только кажется, что они, не зная всех деталей обсуждаемых вопросов, не смогут достаточно объективно рассудить нас. Или все-таки обратиться к ним? --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 09:39, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
: Маша, слово за Вами. Мне лично кажется, что эта функция сортировки не больно чего даёт, зато лишает нас возможности давать общий заголовок сериям и общие сведения для всей серии. Что Вам подсказывает практический опыт заполнения 1989 года? Хочется поскорее утвердить один шаблон и начать конкретную работу. Естественно, все мы будем работать с одним и тем же шаблоном, который согласуем. Миша, по большому счету, прав, принципиальной разницы для каталога нет. --[[User:Leonid Dzhepko|Leonid Dzhepko]] 12:00, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
** Здравствуйте! Я не против шаблона, который предлагается. Но мой нравится больше с точки зрения технического заполнения. Варианты в виде сплошной таблицы, без шапок и названий выпусков в заголовках выполнить проще и быстрее. А цвета можно всегда поменять. Это легко сделать с помощью замены. Я голосую за свой вариант. Хотя, пусть Андрей выбирает года и заполняет их своим шаблоном, а я буду заполнять своим шаблоном другой период. А остальные будут принимать участие в дополнении и исправлении информации. Я не хочу, чтобы Андрей обижался, но я тоже упертый близнец, как и он. --[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 14:53, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
*** Друзья, упираться не надо. Я (как козерог) мог бы тут тоже с Вами пободаться. :) Но давайте идти на компромиссы. Маша, Вы же видите, мы с Леонидом, например, готовы пойти Вам на встречу. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 19:02, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
: Если каждый будет заполнять каталог своими таблицами, то это получится полная ерунда. А если здесь делать толкьо на английском, то это работа для двоих - Михаила и Леонида, так как остальные участники, в том числе и я, имеют в английском весьма слабые познания. Маша, я предложил, как мне кажется, компромисный вариант с двумя параллельными проектами, но если Вы против, то тогда мне нечего больше предложить. [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 15:07, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
В этом варианте хорошо то, что не надо для каждой марки в серии писать название выпуска. А таблице нужно в каждой строчке. Но я думаю, что это не страшно.--[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 16:48, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
: Серии все-таки желательно как-то выделять в списке. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 19:02, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
* Тогда давайте выберем конкретный вариант по цвету, я залью автоматом все года, а потом вручную будем дописывать, что сможем. При заливке укажу всё что смогу. --[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 16:48, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
*И ещё - названия выпусков и описания марок берём с каталогов? Если так, то это не нарушение авторского права? --[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 16:48, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
: В принципе, это должны быть официальные государственные названия знаков почтовой оплаты, не охраняемые авторским правом либо общепринятые (если только составители не напридумывали что-то своё). У составителя может быть только авторское право на состав сборника. Нам надо только добавлять своё и подправлять, если не устраивает, и состав получится другой. --[[User:Leonid Dzhepko|Leonid Dzhepko]] 18:06, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
:: Названия и описания берем из каталогов - откуда ж еще. Один к одному ведь все равно не получится, так что волноваться особо не нужно. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 19:02, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Коллеги, нам ничего не мешает вести параллельно два проекта. Всё равно же хотели на Русском Викебуке делать каталог. Предлагаю, раз уж мы начали осуществлять проект на Английской территории, применить здесь стандартный шаблон, с английскимпереводом. На Русском Викебуке, где мы не будет наездов ни Лам, ни Гуанако, использовать шаблон Марии без английского перевода, что сократит таблицу вдвое.

В принципе ты, Лёня, ведь и на складе основные инструкции попереводил. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 00:58, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

: А куда подевался Ивер? --[[User:Leonid Dzhepko|Leonid Dzhepko]] 18:19, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
:: Отлично! Ивер добавил. [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 18:37, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
:: Маша, вот видите, все-таки на компромиссы и Вы способны. :) Ваш вариант уже практически мой, только в Вашей фирменной цветовой упаковке, плюс для каталогов Вы дали отдельные колонки. Но я бы их объединил в одну все-таки - Reference (как было в стандартном шаблоне). Смысла в разбивке по каталогам нет, раз уж нет сортировки. А место несколько дополнительных колонок занимают, больше чем одна Reference, тем самым сжимая ширину описания. Тогда отпадет справедливый вопрос Леонида по Иверу. Кроме того, уменьшите размер имиджей со 150 до 100 px. Так таблица станет еще более компактной, а описание растянется по горизонтали. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 19:02, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
**Да совсем уменьшать изображения не хочется. Колонки по номерам удобнее, так как писать не надо каждый раз какой это каталог. У меня смотрится на мониторе нормально. Тем более, текст бывает разным, бывает много текста.--[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 19:19, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Может есть смысл сделать колонку "номинал" и "тираж"? ИМХО писать в описании каждой позиции слово "Value" и "Issued" не рационально. Вариант: в самой верхней строке, где названия колонок, написать так -"Описание марки, тираж(тыс), номинал(руб)"--[[User:Agent001|Agent001]] 09:06, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
: Ну это мы тогда опять вернемся к начальным вариантам и уйдем от стандарта. Маша вон стала тираж включать в Valuation, что не верно, как уже здесь выше пояснял Лёня. Тут надо бы спросить у Андрея, который пока всё прописывает в Description. Андрей, это не утомительно? Как ты выходишь из положения? Или каждый раз вручную набиваешь? --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 01:13, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
:: Андрей, ты так и не ответил на вопросы выше. Это важно. Я категорически против того, что у нас получился разнобой на страницах 1989 и 1991 года, причем не по твоей вине.
:: Маша, в Valuation тираж не должен стоять! Ставьте буквенные обозначения - а, бэ, це и т.д.! Указывайте тираж в Description! Вы ведь прописываете там Value, что за проблема тогда с тиражом? И вернитесь к 125px! --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 18:55, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
*Внимание, в изображениях надо ставить 125x125px, так как марки высокие получаются по высоте 125, марки низкие по ширине 125. В таком виде как сейчас, получается так, что самовары больше марки с Прокофьевым. А это не так. И почему 125? Почему 150 не устраивает? Маловато. Я уже начала переделывать 1989 г. Пока его не трогайте. Выбирайте года, над которыми будете работать вплотную, чтобы не было конфликтов редактирования. --[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 11:32, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
:: Спасибо за замечание по 125x125px. А вот маловато или нет? Ну мы же это уже обсуждали. Размер первой клетки задает общую высоту, поэтому при увеличении px таблица будет только расти по вертикали. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 01:13, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

== КАТАЛОГ ==
: ''Перенесено со страницы [[w:ru:Обсуждение Википедии:Проект:Филателия/Архив-2007 (сентябрь—октябрь)]]''
Предлагаю создать страницы: каталог марок СССР и каталог марок России с указанием № ЦФА и ИТЦ, и других каталожных номеров (какие найдем в инете) с колонкой на английском языке. Указывать так же год выпуска, номинал. Вместо изображений марок - ссылки на них на викисклад. С сортировкой по годам и по каталожным номерам. Если приживется, то по-тихоньку и по другим странам можно создать. --Mariluna 11:42, 18 сентября 2007 (UTC)
: Мысль хорошая, но есть ряд моментов: (1) это очень трудоёмкая задача, Вы готовы сами выполнить хотя бы 50%, если да, то начинайте. Вряд ли стоит надеяться на других, увы. Нет ничего, хуже, чем висящий жалкий недоконченый список из нескольких пунктов, который рано или поздно "активисты" удаляют из ВИКИ. (2) Если создавать, то озаглавить его не каталогом, а списком. (3) Подходит ли такой каталог Википедии? Не удалят ли его по такой причине? Было бы обидно. Надо этот вопрос изучить. В принципе что-то подобное я, кажется, видел в англ. ВП по паре-тройке стран. Или, может, этот проект стоит создавать в рамках Вики-учебника? (4) Вряд ли можно будет залить на склад ВСЕ марки... Да и ни к чему, наверно. (5) Кстати, я уже давно размышляю насчёт создания в Вики каталога календариков (коллекционирую предвыборные календарики). В отличие от марок, которых десятки каталогов существуют, каталогов календариков фактически нет ни одного. Слишком дёшев объект собирательства. И вот тут встаёт главный вопрос, ЗАЧЕМ нужен такой каталог марок в ВП, по Вашему мнению? --[[Участник:Л.П. Джепко|Л.П. Джепко]] 14:32, 18 сентября 2007 (UTC)
:: Чтобы привести в порядок закачанные марки, чтобы можно было видеть, какие из них есть на складе. Я посмотрела, в инете нет нормального каталога по маркам, с указанием каталожных номеров по Скотту, Мишелю, с переводом на английский. У меня есть некоторые каталоги, могла бы начать. Кто поможет? Кто поддерживает идею?--Mariluna 16:15, 18 сентября 2007 (UTC)
::: Думаю, для Википедии было бы гораздо уместнее изложение предмета в виде, сходном с брошюрой Н.И.Владинца "Филателистическая география. Советский союз" - М.: Радио и связь, 1982. А вот к нему уже органически присоседить список с каталожными номерами по всем каталогам и ссылками на Викисклад. По крайней мере у меня бы такая статья вопросов бы не вызвала. Но! Нафига делать работу, которая и так уже сделана Владинцом и ЦФА? Судя по всему, цели столь трудоёмкого проекта сугубо технические (систематизировать филателистический Викисклад) - стоит ли затрачивать столько усилий, имея на выходе столь небольшой выхлоп? [[Участник:Nickpo|Nickpo]] 16:21, 18 сентября 2007 (UTC)
:::: Марилуна: посмотрел я в англ. википедии уже создан целый ряд списков марок по тематикам. Думаю, такое же можно начать и у нас, если есть желание - создавайте по Вашей любимой теме (темам), скажем - награды на марках, а там, может, народ и подтянется. Только вначале надо тщательно обдумать форму таблицы. Я-то сам википедист, но не филателист. Собираю каким-то боком календарики, значки, но только в части освещения избирательных кампаний. А в филателии разбираюсь постольку, поскольку был членом КЮФ в детстве. А каталоги марок - это интерес филателистов прежде всего. --[[Участник:Л.П. Джепко|Л.П. Джепко]] 17:47, 28 сентября 2007 (UTC)
Мария, видели ли Вы, что я уже написал Вам по этому поводу на Вашей складской [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Mariluna#wikibooks:World_Stamp_Catalogue страничке] обсуждения? Такой википроект уже давно существует — [[:wikibooks:World Stamp Catalogue]]. При желании к нему можно просто подключиться и создавать разделы для СССР, России и других стран. —[[Участник:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 03:42, 2 ноября 2007 (UTC)
Здравствуйте! Извините, что долго не отвечала. Видела. Но там совсем мало сделано. Я еще думаю как лучше делать каталог по темам или по годам или по странам и по годам. И где? На складе, чтобы был общим для всех, или на рувики, с колонкой на англ. языке или без? Если есть какие предложения пишите. А то информация большая, не хочется по 100 раз переделывать. Все года каталога СССР на одной странице не помещаются по размеру. А как лучше разбить не знаю.--[[Участник:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 18:11, 4 ноября 2007 (UTC)
И ещё - марок для каталога маловато закачано на склад. Нужно их поднакопить. А то по маркам СССР совсем мало. Только последние годы - более менее имеются--[[Участник:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 18:15, 4 ноября 2007 (UTC)
: Мое мнение: такой каталог должен однозначно создаваться в рамках спецпроекта [[:wikibooks:World Stamp Catalogue]]. То, что там мало сделано, не страшно. Присоединение к проекту новых участников и использование ботов для заливки информации и имиджей из других электронных ресурсов помогут развитию проекта. Дублировать, Мария, не стоит: только распылять свои силы будете. Кроме того, подобный каталог — это явно не формат для склада и рувики, которые не предназначены для создания каталогов вообще. Смотрите общие задачи и описания этих проектов. Делать на [[:wikibooks:World Stamp Catalogue]] нужно, конечно же, для начала не по темам (хотя такая категоризация тоже там предусмотрена), а по странам и по годам. Мне будет жаль, если мне не удастся Вас переубедить по этому вопросу. Надеюсь, что другие участники филпроекта тоже выскажутся. С уважением, —[[Участник:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 19:19, 4 ноября 2007 (UTC)
:: Вот, кстати, чем неудобен движок ВП - в нём нельзя сделать сразу и сортировку по темам, и сортировку по странам, и сортировку по годам. То есть можно, но только через механизм Категорий и Шаблонов - что явно не так удобно, как, допустим, через метки-теги. Теоретически в ВП есть такая штука как таблицы с возможностью клика по каждой колонке и перестройки её позиций в соответствие с выбранным критерием. Но это тоже не так удобно (всё равно юзеру придётся кликать по каждой позиции, чтобы увидеть подробности). Может, стоит просто подождать, пока движок эволюционирует? И не торопить события right now, делая напрасный труд по вбиванию фактуры, которой будет сложно пользоваться? [[Участник:Nickpo|Nickpo]] 04:16, 5 ноября 2007 (UTC)
Да, на счёт викибук, то это английская версия. А нам нужен русский каталог. А если русский каталог, то значит на русском викибуке. А здесь нет филателии. Следовательно, либо викисклад, доступный и общий для всех стран, а не только для России или США, или на рувики.--[[Участник:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 21:28, 4 ноября 2007 (UTC)
Лучше от туда перенести статьи на склад. Я так думаю.--[[Участник:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 21:30, 4 ноября 2007 (UTC)
: Еше раз хочу Вам сказать, что ни Склад, ни Рувики ни по своим задачам, ни по формату не приемлемы для создания такого каталога. К Вам там сразу будут претензии в сочетании с шаблоном "К удалению". Никто не запрещает Вам на [[:wikibooks:World Stamp Catalogue]] создавать русский каталог с английским параллельным переводом. Или, уж если на то пошло, можно делать чисто русский каталог в [http://ru.wikibooks.org/wiki/%D0%97%D0%B0%D0%B3%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B0 русском разделе] wikibooks, но потом всё равно кому-то придется выполять повторно ту же самую работу на [[:wikibooks:World Stamp Catalogue]]. Не проще ли сразу присоединиться к глобальному проекту? Вы мне объясните, почему Вы так категорически настроены против [[:wikibooks:World Stamp Catalogue]]? :) --[[Участник:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 21:47, 4 ноября 2007 (UTC)
1. Там не глобальный проект, а местный, американский. Совсем не развит.
2. В категориях на викискладе гораздо больше марок закачано, чем представлено в этих каталогах.
3. Делать каталог на викибуке будет гораздо труднее по техническим причинам. И будет неудобно смотреть информацию по маркам. Так как сначала идёт ссылка на викисклад. Чтобы посмотреть информацию по марке, нужно будет 2 раза нажимать на её изображении.
4. На викискладе тоже есть статьи, и не мало. И на русском и на английском. И создаются они в этих же категориях, что и изображения. Бывает что отдельно.--[[Участник:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 22:06, 4 ноября 2007 (UTC)
: Попробую еще раз Вам объяснить:
: 1. Почему Вы решили, что это «не глобальный проект, а местный, американский»? Читаем:
<blockquote>Wikibooks '''World''' Stamp Catalogue<br />
A catalogue of postage stamps '''from around the world'''
</blockquote>
: То, что Вы увидели там американский раздел (а есть еще на данный момент 7 стран Европы, Новая Зеландия и Китай в разной степени проработки), означает лишь то, что пока к проекту подключилось не так уж много людей, каждый из которых взял какую-нибудь одну страну. Вот Вы создадите раздел для Советского Союза — сделаете хороший вклад. Почитайте описание проекта: [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Talk:World_Stamp_Catalogue], [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/World_Stamp_Catalogue/Numbering_System], [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/World_Stamp_Catalogue/Common_themes], [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/World_Stamp_Catalogue/Stamp_Inclusion_policy] и другое там же.
: 2. Марки со склада легко внести в каталог.
: 3. Информацию не надо смотреть на викискладе, Вы ее тут же прописываете, используя [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Template:World_Stamp_Catalogue шаблон]. Изображения, как я уже сказал, переносятся со склада. Причем, для этой цели можно использовать бот. Вам для переноса ничего не придется делать — за Вас это может автоматически сделать бот. Хотите, я попрошу знакомого ботовода помочь с ботом?
: 4. Дело, конечно, Ваше, если Вы хотите затеять Ваш проект на складе. Не буду Вас больше переубеждать. Очень жаль, что мне это не удалось сделать. —[[Участник:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 03:04, 5 ноября 2007 (UTC)
:: Дорогая Мария, позвольте и мне поддержать Мишу. В Википедии однозначно не разрешат каталог вести и уберут рано или поздно. В отношении Викисклада тоже я сильно сомневаюсь. Там чрезмерно жёсткая политика в отношении авторских прав, причём ещё могут убрать Ваши тексты в любой момент, сказав, что это склад для картинок, а не для текстов. А вот на wikibooks проект уже давно существует. американский раздел очень глубоко проработан, а мы давайте просто добавим СССР и Россию. С переводами я помогу. Сделаем каталог двуязычным - это вообще будет ценный уникальный продукт. Принципы нумерации там уже разработаны. (Чужую нумерацию ведь использовать нельзя - авторское право.

== Каталог / Catalogue ==
* (1) Создал страницу для СССР здесь: [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/World_Stamp_Catalogue/Soviet_Union]. Пока это только набросок. Пример нужно подогнать под конкретную марку СССР (у меня просто перевод с английского для марки США). Смотрите и дополняйте/исправляйте прямо там.
* (2) Мария, с шаблоном таблицы надо поработать вместе со спецами. Николай? Андрей? Поможете? Тут я пас. Тут надо бы учесть особенности именно марок СССР. Либо взять как есть и просто писать внутри имеющихся граф подробнее. Кто нам это запрещает?
* (3) Кстати, насколько я понимаю это всё же шаблон сплошной таблицы для списка, а не для отдельной марки. Просто добавляются ряды внутри него. Русский и английский тексты можно писать через дробь: English / Русский, или на отдельных строках. --[[User:Leonid Dzhepko|Leonid Dzhepko]] 12:43, 5 ноября 2007 (UTC)

: Думаю, вначале надо дать наш собственный номер (типа SUN-1991-0101-0121, а номер ЦФА дать рядом с остальными каталогами. А что думает наш главный составитель?

: Обрати внимание [[w:ru:Википедия:Список Википедий|вот на эту таблицу]]. Там в каждой колонке даны такие стрелочки в квадратике. Нажатие на квадратик выстраивает список по возрастанию или убыванию параметра. Имхо, надо изначально заложить такую же штуку и в каталог. [[User:Nickpo|Nickpo]] 15:42, 5 ноября 2007 (UTC)
::: А зачем такая сортировка в принципе нужна здесь? Сортировать по колонкам «Рисунок» (явно не нужно), «Описание», «Каталоги» и «Примечания»? Если у нас будут подстраницы по годам, большой пользы от такой сортировки внутри одного года не вижу. —[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 17:56, 5 ноября 2007 (UTC)

:::::: Для каждого филателиста существует каталог, который он считает "за основу" - так исторически складывается. Не вижу оснований для жёсткого диктата нумерации Вики-каталога над альтернативными - пусть она будет по дефолту, но пусть, также, будет и возможность перестроить список под привычные критерии, почему нет? И потом: а ты уверен, что нам не нужны таблицы марок по десятилетиям, по темам, по регионам, по континентам, по империям\колониям и т.д.? Мне кажется, что нам изначально следует установить в качестве стандарта наличие возможности альтернативного выстраивания списков - это bon ton, что ли.

* Спасибо, Андрей! Добавил английские видовые названия к черноморской фауне. Вопросы:
# Будем ли мы сами переводить на английский названия марок и серий? Или их можно брать из англоязычных каталогов, чтобы было корректно и быстро?
# Будем ли давать внутренние ссылки на русские и английские викистатьи? Для примера: 75-летие со дня рождения <nowiki>[[:ru:Керес, Пауль|П. П. Кереса]]</nowiki>. (Так мне кажется корректней по сравнению с вариантом Андрея через http.)
# Нужны ли точки в конце «Описаний» тех или иных марок? По-моему, не [http://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=World_Stamp_Catalogue%2FSoviet_Union%2F1991&diff=1021645&oldid=1021640 нужны].

# С английским у меня проблема, что-то могу брать из Скотта, но там не всё.
# ИМХО, ссылки нужны, для гипертекстовой связи каталога с Википедией. (Да, так намного лучше).
# Нет, точки не нужны.
# Можно сделать так: тираж/issued: 1800. [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 00:54, 6 ноября 2007 (UTC)
* Тиражи подправил. А с гиперссылками возни будет много. Фактически их поиск и вставка будет занимать столько же времени, сколько создание самой таблицы. :( Сужу по своему первому опыту для черноморской фауны. Кстати, более правильный формат гиперссылки: <nowiki>[[w:ru:Керес, Пауль|П. П. Кереса]]</nowiki>, а для английских - просто <nowiki>[[w:Spiny dogfish|Spiny dogfish]]</nowiki>. —[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 01:36, 6 ноября 2007 (UTC)
*Здравствуйте! Я вчера рано отключилась, поэтому не была в курсе обсуждений. Не торопитесь заполнять таблицы, т.к. мы еще не проработали шаблон. Предлагаю добавить отдельные колонки по тиражу, легче заполнять будет, добавить колонку с номиналом, колонки цены гашеной и не гашеной марки. Таблицу по красивее оформить: толщину линий сделать тоньше, и цвет другой.--[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 07:34, 6 ноября 2007 (UTC)
* Может дату, чтобы не переводить, ставить в такой форме 10.04.1991?--[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 07:37, 6 ноября 2007 (UTC)
** В таком случае формат должен быть таким: '''1991-04-10'''. Иначе Ваша сортировка по дате будет бессмысленна. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 18:35, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
* Михаил, гиперссылки можно будет добавить позднее, сейчас главное довести до ума шаблон и залить таблицы, а это самое, ИМХО, сложное. Марина, можно разделить колонку "Примечания" на две: "Художники" и "Тираж", а сами примечания писать внизу, как я это уже сделал. Номинал записывать таким образом: "0.10", "1.20", впрочем, как и с датой. Цвет любой на Ваш вкус, заказывайте. :) А вот насчёт цены на гашёные и негашёные с этим бы я связываться не стал, потому что по какому каталогу их определять, это во-первых, а во вторых, они меняются каждый год. Так что это очень муторное занятие, его ИМХО, лучше не начинать. [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 08:27, 6 ноября 2007 (UTC)

# Как я подозреваю, цены могут быть защищены авторским правом и, кроме того, меняются каждый год, кто будет их постоянно обновлять? Если же этого не делать систематически, то нашим ценам никто верить не будет, и какой тогда от них толк? В крайнем случае, можно будет потом создать отдельную таблицу с нашими номерами и ценами по разным каталогам, чтобы не громоздить здесь.

А раз мои доводы бессмыссленны, то нужно предложить что то новое взамен, на базе существующего. Итак:
# Номинал всё-таки надо вынести перед описанием (как во всех каталогах)
# Для зубцовки не нужна отдельная колонка, обозначение зубцовки ставить в описании.
# Для различных каталогов сделать различные по цвету полосы. [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 18:16, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
*Андрей! Чем больше украшательств, тем дольше будет грузится страница. Поэтому я не делала разноцветные колонки. Вы посмотрите на код своего шаблона (сколько текста!) и на код моего. А у Вас с этим перебор. Номинал лучше в конце, он нужен филателистам, а другим участникам всякие циферки не нужны. Им нужна картинка с описанием. Поэтому я поставила в своём шаблоне такой порядок. Зубцовку могу переделать. Ваша первоначальная таблица тоже хороша, но не для каталога по годам, а для каталога по темам - птицы, рыбы и т.д. Тут можно размер марки менять.--[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 18:54, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
* Различные по цвету полосы для различных каталогов, по-моему, тоже перебор. Тут дело даже не во времени загрузки (компьютеру, по-моему, всё равно). Излишняя расцветка мешает восприятию информации, отвлекает. Сделай лучше как у меня. И в шапке английские названия тоже на первое место поставь. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 19:15, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Не пойму, что можно здесь сортировать? [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 15:35, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
: Лично мне нравится сортировать по номерам и по тексту. А вообще: нумерация по каталогам не совпадает. Поэтому марки при сортировке будут по-разному расположены. Так же в такой форме заполнять таблицы будет легче. Сортировка по художникам, по дате, тиражу. Марилуна.
:: Ваша задумка, делайте что хотите, только в таком случае весь год придётся давать сплошняком в таблице, следовательно, табличка будет нехилых размеров, да и какой смысл в сортировке марок ОДНОГО года мне не понять. Если будет голосование, то я за первый вариант. [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 19:08, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
:: С точки зрения загрузки, то мой вариант будет меньше места занимать, так как шапка таблицы будет в самом начале страницы, а не для каждой марки. Килобайты экономии. И заполнять только содержимое таблицы, а не вставлять каждый раз таблицу проще. Подумайте над этим.--[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 19:26, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
::: Делайте, что хотите. [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 19:49, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
:::Андрей, Вы что обиделись? Я просто предложила свой вариант. Если не нравится, пишите свои замечания. --[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 19:54, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
:::: Делайте, а я пока посмотрю. [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 20:09, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
::::: Решительно поддерживаю Андрея, ибо:
* Если шапка таблицы будет только в самом начале, то уже через 10-15 рядов читателю будет непонятно где какая колонка, например, где номер по Иверу, а где по Скотту. В результате придётся всё время бегать вверх-вниз, пытаясь глазами удержать положение колонки.
* Одна бесконечная таблица со множеством однообразных рядов выглядит занудно нечитабельно. Мне по жизни осточертели эксэлевские таблицы. Если более пятидесяти рядов, то всё, отключка, до конца такие таблицы, по-моему, смотрят только бухгалтера. И то делают массу ошибок,потому что глаз соскакивает с рядов.
* Зачем нужна эта сортировка в пределах одного года, если из-за неё теряется наглядность? Обратите внимание, в предложенном американцами варианте каждая серия, и даже отдельная марка по новой теме отделены заголовком, что позволяет автоматически сформировать оглавление, выглядит красиво и упрощает поиск темы и навигацию по странице. А поиск номеров можно делать обычным поиском на странице, в конце-концов.
* Причём тут экономия байтов не пойму, не бумагу же экономим. Удобство пользования гораздо важнее. Лучше вставить таблицу один раз, чем потом всю оставшуюся жизнь мучиться с огромной безликой таблицей без навигации.
* А сортировку по художникам, по номерам, по тиражам или ещё как, вполне можно (и нужно) сделать отдельными списками, будет удобнее. И байты будут распределены равномернее.
Впрочем, поскольку Мария является инициатором этой идеи, собирается выполнить большую часть работы и, очевидно, будет пользоваться этим каталогом, будучи филателисткой (в отличие от меня), то ей и карты в руки. --[[User:Leonid Dzhepko|Leonid Dzhepko]] 20:22, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
: А я решительно поддерживаю Леонида и в его поддержке Андрея, и в резервировании широты технического маневра для Марии. Но все-таки хотелось бы, чтобы мы выработали какой-то наиболее приемлемый вариант. Попросил Якива и Романа (StraSSenBahn) заглянуть сюда в надежде, что они, как всегда, что-то ценное нам подскажут. Главное, как мне кажется, к чему мы должны стремиться, - техническая простота и в то же время техническая грамотность и функциональная целесообразность как с точки зрения читателей, так и с позиции "писателей" этих страниц. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 22:46, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Ну что сказать, Мария? Ваша болванка для 1989 года смотрится неплохо. Только номинал укажите не в копейках (5 к.), а в формате: 0.05. У нас по деталям, вообще, пока что есть "разночтения". Надеюсь, все сообща придем к одному приемлемому формату. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 05:51, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
::: Я могу ещё понять смысл сортировки по каталожным номерам, может быть по художникам с большой натяжкой, но в чём смысл сортировки по дате, а тем более по описанию, изображению, тиражу, номиналу и зубцовке? По описанию вообще некорректно сортируется, так как буква "Ё" оказывается на последнем месте. Что может быть полезного в списке марок, построенных по номиналу или в списке марок с одинаковой зубцовкой? К тому же, при сортировке по зубцовке, в случаях с одинаковой зубцовкой, список строится опять таки по описанию, то есть не корректно - марки из одной серии могут быть расбросаны друг от друга на значительное расстояние. И ещё 1990-е годы - это лёгкие годы, где минимум разновидностей по печати и зубцовке, а что вы будете делать с 1930-ми годами и "золотым стандартом" и его десятком разновидностей? Подумайте об этом. [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 10:02, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
:::Андрей! Сортировка по изображению - сортируется каталожный номер вики. Сортировка по художнику тоже не плохо.
Можно сортировать по тиражам, будет видно редкие выпуски. А значит их ценность. Сортировка по описанию тоже пойдет. Можно посмотреть по алфавиту. Будут видны различные годовщины. Ну и наконец, сортировка по каталогам - интересная вещь. По крайней мере для меня. А по перфорации и по номиналу сортировать не нужно.--[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 14:23, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
:::Заполнила 1989 год полностью по номерам ЦФА. Немного дописав текст. Потратила на оформление около 4 часов.
А для Вашего шаблона, Андрей, сколько времени уйдет, чтобы заполнить весь год? Тем более, мою таблицу можно переделать легко. Можно потом добавить шапки для каждой серии, если так решим.
Для закачки 1989 г. я использовала программу Эксель. Всё разбивала на столбцы. Вплоть до знаков. (всего 35 столбцов). Потом размножила. Вставила текст. Скопировала в Ворд. Убрала лишние пробелы. И перенесла в инет. Попробуйте так же сделать другой год.--[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 14:31, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
:::: Маша, это хорошо, что Вы так здорово владеете различными программами. Вот с сортировкой не знаю, как быть. На данный момент мы используем параметр для всей таблицы - class="wikitable sortable". В этом случае мы показываем сортировку для всех столбцов. По-другому, нельзя. Если убрать class="wikitable sortable" - сортировка исчезает вообще. А вот есть ли код для отдельного столбца, который бы позволил показывать и задавать сортировку выборочно? Кто знает? Если такого нет, то нам нужно либо убрать сортировку в нынешнем виде, либо смириться с тем, что она показывается даже для ненужных столбцов. Третьего не дано? --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 17:47, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Михаил, лучше убрать знак /, без него смотрится аккуратнее. И названия столбцов нужно сократить, т.к. из-за длинных названий ширина меняется, и растягивается по вертикали основной тект. --[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 19:10, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
: Сокращения вернул, добавил гиперссылок. Почему-то не подсвечивается желтым цветом последняя колонка. Как это делается? А вот по знаку / у меня возражения. Знак нужен для логического разделения русских и английских слов (фраз). По-моему, как раз '''с ним''' смотрится аккуратнее. :) --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 19:29, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
:: Еще вопрос. Какие в английских каталогах используются термины для "Тиража" и "Номинала"? Что-то мне подсказывает, что "Print run" и "Tax value" не совсем корректно. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 19:35, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Но сначала давайте еще пообсуждаем, что и как можно улучшить. Я, например, хотел бы подсветить в своем варианте контент первой и третьей колонок более темным оттенком желтого, использованным Андреем в своей версии. Но я не знаю, как это правильно сделать. Помогите! --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 19:55, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
::: А не надо никаких чёрточек, ни прямых, ни косых. Господа, это же таблица! Просто разделите головную строку на две - русскую и английскую. И всё. [[User:Nickpo|Nickpo]] 22:31, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
::: Мария, разобрался со столбцами, о которых Вы говорите. Во-первых, их вид на экране зависит от того, какой у Вас монитор и браузер. Поэтому для каждого юзера таблица может выглядеть по-разному. Мы тут особо ничего не можем поделать. На данный момент на моем мониторе (17 дюймов, на жидких кристаллах, браузер Mozilla) всё выглядит великолепно. Если у Вас монитор в 15 дюймов, могут быть искажения по ширине столбцов, точнее по их содержимому. Во-вторых, есть параметр width="ХХХ", с помощью которого легко выставить любую ширину колонки таблицы, что я и сделал. Посмотрите в код. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 05:33, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
:::: Легко сказать чайнику: раздели! А ты покажи, как это делается. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 22:35, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
::::: Вот Мария как раз покажет - она же сделала номерную строку для столбцов. Нужны ещё две такие строки - для английских названий и для квадратиков (а то они плохо смотрятся, когда не на одном уровне по высоте). [[User:Nickpo|Nickpo]] 07:26, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
:::: По желтому цвету. Я имел в виду контрастное окрашивание только первой и третьей колонок, а не всей таблицы. Это возможно? У Андрея ведь это как-то выходит. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 22:59, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
:::Ответ по цвету - загружаем Фотошоп, смотрим цветную карту (цвета), выбираем цвет, внизу, где решетка, копируем буквы с цифрами и вставляем вместо указанных цветов в таблице.--[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 23:14, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

:::::: А если так? --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 00:42, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
:::: Ещё бы хорошо столбцы с номерами каталогов выделить чередованием цвета, чтобы легче было отслеживать взглядом. А столбец "Примечания" вообще убрать, раз он такой короткий, а сами примечания писать прямо в столбце "Описание". Либо, может, оставить место только под звёздочку сноски. А сноску оформлять на отдельную подстраницу, которая будет раскрываться шелчком на ней. --[[User:Leonid Dzhepko|Leonid Dzhepko]] 09:23, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
::::: Сделал чередование цветов. "Примечания" думаю всё же нужны текстом прямо в таблице (без создания подстраниц сносок - это будет занимать много времени, а для пользователя потребует лишний клик). Кроме того, поменял местами английский и русский контент - to be more international user-friendly. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 17:35, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

:::::: 'Value' / "Стоимость" IMHO. Since it attempts to establish a comparison basis for stamp valuation. / Поскольку это попытка отразить сопоставимую стоимость марок. --[[User:Leonid Dzhepko|Leonid Dzhepko]] 20:28, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
::::::: Нет, речь идет о [[World Stamp Catalogue/Stamp valuation]], т.е. '''Number of stamps issued or believed to exist'''. Как это одним бы словом сказать? '''Issued'''? Я не против. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 20:35, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
:::::::: Миша, именно что: "кол-во выпущенных или считающихся уцелевшими марок", поэтому я настаиваю. Суть в том, что если сохранилось (или было выпущено) 100 марок, то их цена будет совсем иной, чем 1 миллион марок. Осмелюсь заметить, при этом, что, хотя этот принцип и был сформулирован в виде общего правила, но на деле я его реализации нигде в каталоге не видел. Valuation - это именно "оценка стоимости". --[[User:Leonid Dzhepko|Leonid Dzhepko]] 21:19, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Предлагаю (I suggest): "номинал" = "face value", если не нравится tax value. --[[User:Leonid Dzhepko|Leonid Dzhepko]] 21:12, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
: Только не [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_value Tax value]. Скорее, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_value Face value]. Все равно длинно. Ладно, щас что-нибудь придумаю. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 23:01, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Николай, по твоему совету сделал две доп. строки в шапке. Но как перенести квадратики из 1-й в 3-ю, ума не приложу. Они задаются в коде как параметр для всей таблицы - class="wikitable sortable".

* Возражаю против черного фона в первом поле. Никогда не был сторонником использования такой цветовой гаммы в текстах и на сайтах. Но, может, на вкус и цвет... --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 20:20, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
* Хмм, а марка-то смотрится заметнее. Может, просто чуть посерее сделать? --[[User:Leonid Dzhepko|Leonid Dzhepko]] 21:21, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
* Начинаете меня переубеждать. :) Можно, и так оставить. Только желтые буквы, по-моему, плохо читаемы. Может, хотя бы жирным выделить? --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 21:43, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
* Мда, Андрей, вот это ты поставил нас на место. :) И верно - есть ромбы, треугольники, а еще овалы, круги... О! А что если для таких случаев отменять фон вообще? Пробую. Да, а желтые жирные буквы номера все-таки лучше смотрятся - сравните. Одобряете? --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 22:16, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

:: Как сказал Лёня, марка смотрится заметнее. Вот! --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 23:03, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
* Действительно лучше смотрится. Хорошая гамма. Без розового-голубого гораздо солиднее всё. [[User:Nickpo|Nickpo]] 05:45, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
*Может марки с белым фоном пересканировать на белом фоне, чтобы черной полоски не было. Так как эти марки темные, и белый будет контрастнее смотреться, а черная полоска сливается с маркой и зубцы плохо видно.--[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 08:10, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
* Машенька, мне Вас жалко, если Вы собираетесь загубить свою молодую жизнь на пересканирование марок и создание викикаталогов. :) А если серьезно, смысла в этом большого нет. Я же сделал пример, когда для таких марок можно убрать в виде исключения черный фон. Ничего страшного при этом не произойдет.

Мда, коллеги, ИМХО, мы слишком заморочились на шаблонах. Я посмотрел на уже проделанные здесь работы, всё везде просто и понятно. Без наворотов, но эффективно. ИМХО, конечно. Я, скорее всего, оставлю эту затею с каталогом, так как мне она уже не приносит никакого удовлетворения. [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 22:38, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
: И то правда, друзья, посмотрите, как [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/World_Stamp_Catalogue/China/1941 люди] реализуют уже имеющийся стандратный шаблон, что на самом деле обычная викитаблица. Простенько, лаконично, без наворотов и по делу. Я бы её только чуть-чуть подправил, увеличив общую ширину и добавив Valuation. И русский текст достаточен только для описания. Вопрос с сериями тоже решаем (см. пример ниже). Если марка одиночная, то в сине-зеленую строку вписывается только название выпуска. Если это серия, то, кроме ее названия, в сине-зеленую строку записываются все общие для данной серии элементы (художник, зубцовка и т.д.). Кто за? --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 00:03, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Знаете, самое трудное, это выбор шаблона. А потом марки добавлять можно уже по накатанной схеме. Будет обидно переделывать все года потом, когда кто-нибудь предложит шаблон еще лучше. Лучше утвердить один удобный шаблон для заполнения, чем каждый будет делать по-своему. Андрей настаивает на своём шаблоне. А Вы, Андрей, будете делать каталоги со своим шаблоном? Или только хотите шаблон утвердить и забыть про его существование. На дворе 2007 год, почему мы должны использовать старый 2006 г. шаблон, если можно его улучшить. --[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 08:31, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
:: Маша, я готов '''работать''' над проектом, а не переливать из пустого в порожнее с затягиванием выбора шаблона. Ведь, насколько я знаю, каталоги не у всех имеются, дабы нумерацию марок проставлять, тираж указывать и фамилию художника. [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 13:03, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
::: Да. Согласен. Давайте уже определяться. А каталогов - у меня так точно нет. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 19:02, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
: Маша, не ругайтесь, пожалуйста, и не обижайтесь. Андрей не меньше Вашего провозился с этим проектом и, тем не менее, не проголосовал за свой вариант. Поддерживаю Леонида: Ваш голос должен приравниваться как минимум к трём. Расклад на данный момент, Вы видите, какой:
:* Если Вы голосуете, как все (то есть, как трое, проголосовавших уже за один и тот же шаблон), проходит стандартный вариант (слегка мною подрихтованный).
:* Если голосуете за 2d (по-видимому, Ваш фаворит), я думаю, будет справедливо засчитать Вам сразу более 3 голосов и выдать Вам [[w:ru:карт-бланш|карт-бланш]] на осуществление всего проекта. Согласны?
: Ожидать новых голосов не приходится, если, конечно, не проявит себя Agent001, находившийся здесь на начальных этапах обсуждения. Якив на мой запрос (пока) не ответил. А Роман [http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9E%D0%B1%D1%81%D1%83%D0%B6%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5_%D1%83%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0:StraSSenBahn#World_Stamp_Catalogue.2FSoviet_Union уклонился] от обсуждения. Поэтому итог будем подводить, скорее всего, без них. Правда, есть еще другие участники и наблюдатели филпроекта. Можно, персонально обратиться и к ним. Мне только кажется, что они, не зная всех деталей обсуждаемых вопросов, не смогут достаточно объективно рассудить нас. Или все-таки обратиться к ним? --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 09:39, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
: Маша, слово за Вами. Мне лично кажется, что эта функция сортировки не больно чего даёт, зато лишает нас возможности давать общий заголовок сериям и общие сведения для всей серии. Что Вам подсказывает практический опыт заполнения 1989 года? Хочется поскорее утвердить один шаблон и начать конкретную работу. Естественно, все мы будем работать с одним и тем же шаблоном, который согласуем. Миша, по большому счету, прав, принципиальной разницы для каталога нет. --[[User:Leonid Dzhepko|Leonid Dzhepko]] 12:00, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
** Здравствуйте! Я не против шаблона, который предлагается. Но мой нравится больше с точки зрения технического заполнения. Варианты в виде сплошной таблицы, без шапок и названий выпусков в заголовках выполнить проще и быстрее. А цвета можно всегда поменять. Это легко сделать с помощью замены. Я голосую за свой вариант. Хотя, пусть Андрей выбирает года и заполняет их своим шаблоном, а я буду заполнять своим шаблоном другой период. А остальные будут принимать участие в дополнении и исправлении информации. Я не хочу, чтобы Андрей обижался, но я тоже упертый близнец, как и он. --[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 14:53, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
*** Друзья, упираться не надо. Я (как козерог) мог бы тут тоже с Вами пободаться. :) Но давайте идти на компромиссы. Маша, Вы же видите, мы с Леонидом, например, готовы пойти Вам на встречу. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 19:02, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
: Если каждый будет заполнять каталог своими таблицами, то это получится полная ерунда. А если здесь делать толкьо на английском, то это работа для двоих - Михаила и Леонида, так как остальные участники, в том числе и я, имеют в английском весьма слабые познания. Маша, я предложил, как мне кажется, компромисный вариант с двумя параллельными проектами, но если Вы против, то тогда мне нечего больше предложить. [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 15:07, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
В этом варианте хорошо то, что не надо для каждой марки в серии писать название выпуска. А таблице нужно в каждой строчке. Но я думаю, что это не страшно.--[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 16:48, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
: Серии все-таки желательно как-то выделять в списке. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 19:02, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
* Тогда давайте выберем конкретный вариант по цвету, я залью автоматом все года, а потом вручную будем дописывать, что сможем. При заливке укажу всё что смогу. --[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 16:48, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
*И ещё - названия выпусков и описания марок берём с каталогов? Если так, то это не нарушение авторского права? --[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 16:48, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
: В принципе, это должны быть официальные государственные названия знаков почтовой оплаты, не охраняемые авторским правом либо общепринятые (если только составители не напридумывали что-то своё). У составителя может быть только авторское право на состав сборника. Нам надо только добавлять своё и подправлять, если не устраивает, и состав получится другой. --[[User:Leonid Dzhepko|Leonid Dzhepko]] 18:06, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
:: Названия и описания берем из каталогов - откуда ж еще. Один к одному ведь все равно не получится, так что волноваться особо не нужно. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 19:02, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Коллеги, нам ничего не мешает вести параллельно два проекта. Всё равно же хотели на Русском Викебуке делать каталог. Предлагаю, раз уж мы начали осуществлять проект на Английской территории, применить здесь стандартный шаблон, с английскимпереводом. На Русском Викебуке, где мы не будет наездов ни Лам, ни Гуанако, использовать шаблон Марии без английского перевода, что сократит таблицу вдвое.

: '''Против.''' Тогда не получится '''уникального''' продукта, а будет просто таблица, как на других сайтах. Еще могут стереть как копивио. А так будет видно, что здесь была проведена работа, а не просто скопирован текст.

: '''ЗА'''. Но дублировать русский текст в английской версии нет смысла. Вы забываете, друзья, что есть такие штучки, '''интервики''' называются. Английский и русский викибукс-каталоги будут сшиты между собой с помощью интервики.

:: Маша, вот видите, все-таки на компромиссы и Вы способны. :) Ваш вариант уже практически мой, только в Вашей фирменной цветовой упаковке, плюс для каталогов Вы дали отдельные колонки. Но я бы их объединил в одну все-таки - Reference (как было в стандартном шаблоне). Смысла в разбивке по каталогам нет, раз уж нет сортировки. А место несколько дополнительных колонок занимают, больше чем одна Reference, тем самым сжимая ширину описания. Тогда отпадет справедливый вопрос Леонида по Иверу. Кроме того, уменьшите размер имиджей со 150 до 100 px. Так таблица станет еще более компактной, а описание растянется по горизонтали. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 19:02, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
**Да совсем уменьшать изображения не хочется. Колонки по номерам удобнее, так как писать не надо каждый раз какой это каталог. У меня смотрится на мониторе нормально. Тем более, текст бывает разным, бывает много текста.--[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 19:19, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Может есть смысл сделать колонку "номинал" и "тираж"? ИМХО писать в описании каждой позиции слово "Value" и "Issued" не рационально. Вариант: в самой верхней строке, где названия колонок, написать так -"Описание марки, тираж(тыс), номинал(руб)"--[[User:Agent001|Agent001]] 09:06, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
: Ну это мы тогда опять вернемся к начальным вариантам и уйдем от стандарта. Маша вон стала тираж включать в Valuation, что не верно, как уже здесь выше пояснял Лёня. Тут надо бы спросить у Андрея, который пока всё прописывает в Description. Андрей, это не утомительно? Как ты выходишь из положения? Или каждый раз вручную набиваешь? --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 01:13, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
:: Андрей, ты так и не ответил на вопросы выше. Это важно. Я категорически против того, что у нас получился разнобой на страницах 1989 и 1991 года, причем не по твоей вине.
:: Маша, в Valuation тираж не должен стоять! Ставьте буквенные обозначения - а, бэ, це и т.д.! Указывайте тираж в Description! Вы ведь прописываете там Value, что за проблема тогда с тиражом? И вернитесь к 125px! --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 18:55, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
*Внимание, в изображениях надо ставить 125x125px, так как марки высокие получаются по высоте 125, марки низкие по ширине 125. В таком виде как сейчас, получается так, что самовары больше марки с Прокофьевым. А это не так. И почему 125? Почему 150 не устраивает? Маловато. Я уже начала переделывать 1989 г. Пока его не трогайте. Выбирайте года, над которыми будете работать вплотную, чтобы не было конфликтов редактирования. --[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 11:32, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
:: Спасибо за замечание по 125x125px. А вот маловато или нет? Ну мы же это уже обсуждали. Размер первой клетки задает общую высоту, поэтому при увеличении px таблица будет только расти по вертикали. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 01:13, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
::: Маша, при таком упорстве в молчаливом проталкивании 150px Вы достойны стать дважды Героем. :) --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 18:44, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
: Я беру 1991. [[User:Sdobnikov A.|Sdobnikov Andrey]] 12:50, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
УВАЖАЕМЫЕ ДАМЫ И ГОСПОДА! Какой шаблон окончательный? Надо подбить итог: написать здесь на аглицком, вывесить шаблон в шаблонах, описать порядок его заполнения на странице каталога и дать ссылки на него, где только можно. --[[User:Leonid Dzhepko|Leonid Dzhepko]] 13:19, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Этот последний. Но все равно, в ходе работы будет менятся. --[[User:Mariluna|Mariluna]] 16:05, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
: Вот так вот, Лёня. Хозяйка - барыня. :) Поэтому пусть пока оно всё обкатывается, а через неделю-другую (месяц?) можно расписать все инструкции. --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 01:13, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

== Colors / Порядок обозначения цвета ==
Маша, Андрей, можете на основании каталогов описать сабж для нашего каталога? Надо будет как-то сопоставить с английской (международной?) системой. --[[User:Leonid Dzhepko|Leonid Dzhepko]] 13:25, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
: Ты имеешь в виду расписывание на Рубукс всего, что дано [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/World_Stamp_Catalogue здесь] и на подстраницах английского каталога? Или что? --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 01:17, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
:: Оно бы так, но, насколько я подозреваю на русском языке, в русскоязычных каталогах за основу взята другая система обозначения цвета, и их надо будет как-то соотнести (или оговорить). В ЦФА как? --[[User:Leonid Dzhepko|Leonid Dzhepko]] 18:14, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
::: Понял. Раз у нас другая система, тогда надо ей пользоваться. Нет? --[[User:Michael Romanov|Michael Romanov]] 18:35, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
== Изображения / Images ==
: ''Перенесено со страницы [[w:ru:Обсуждение Википедии:Проект:Филателия/Архив-2007 (ноябрь—декабрь)]]''
Друзья, прежде чем сканировать марки и заливать на склад (особенно в рамках подпроекта [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/World_Stamp_Catalogue/Soviet_Union КАТАЛОГ]), проверьте категории [[w:ru:Категория:Изображения:Почтовые марки]], [[w:ru:Категория:Изображения:Советские марки]] и [[w:en:Category:Public domain stamp images]], чтобы не делать лишней работы по сканированию.

== If your interested... ==
I don't know if anyone is still around who would be interested in this, but with some of the issues that have been presented with this and past desires to make translations and multilingual books, I thought perhaps there is a chance some of you would be interested in and understand the need for a multilingual wikibooks project. If anyone is still around and is interested, you should discuss this on my proposal to create such at project at [[Meta:Requests for new languages/Wikibooks Multilingual]]. --<span style="font: bold 10pt 'courier new', comic, sans, ms;">[[User:Darklama|<font color="midnightblue">dark</font>]][[User_talk:Darklama|<font color="green">lama</font>]]</span> 15:49, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
: Sorry, Darklama, I am grateful for your suggestion and I have carefully reviewed your proposal, but I think we can do English catalogue in en:wikibooks, and Russian catalogue in ru:wikibooks, making cross-references between them. I don't see any good in starting yet another wikiproject. --[[User:Leonid Dzhepko|Leonid Dzhepko]] ([[User talk:Leonid Dzhepko|talk]]) 13:37, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to the '''Administrative Assistance reading room'''. You can request assistance from [[WB:ADMIN|administrators]] for handling a variety of problems here and alert them about problems which may require special actions not normally used during regular content editing. Please be patient as administrators are often quite busy with either their own projects or trying to perform general maintenance and cleanup.
You can deal with most vandalism yourself: [[Wikibooks:Dealing with vandalism|fix it]], then [[Wikibooks:Templates/User_notices|warn the user]]. If there is repeated vandalism by one user, lots of vandalism on a single page, or vandalism from many users, tell an admin here, or in [irc://irc.freenode.net/wikibooks #wikibooks] (say <code>!admin</code> to get attention).
For more general questions and assistance that doesn't require an administrator, please use the [[WB:HELP|Assistance Reading Room]].

Welcome to the '''Administrative Assistance reading room'''. You can request assistance from [[WB:ADMIN|administrators]] for handling a variety of problems here and alert them about problems which may require special actions not normally used during regular content editing. Please be patient as administrators are often quite busy with either their own projects or trying to perform general maintenance and cleanup.
You can deal with most vandalism yourself: [[Wikibooks:Dealing with vandalism|fix it]], then [[Wikibooks:Templates/User_notices|warn the user]]. If there is repeated vandalism by one user, lots of vandalism on a single page, or vandalism from many users, tell an admin here, or in [irc://irc.freenode.net/wikibooks #wikibooks] (say <code>!admin</code> to get attention).
For more general questions and assistance that doesn't require an administrator, please use the [[WB:HELP|Assistance Reading Room]].

Welcome to the '''Administrative Assistance reading room'''. You can request assistance from [[WB:ADMIN|administrators]] for handling a variety of problems here and alert them about problems which may require special actions not normally used during regular content editing. Please be patient as administrators are often quite busy with either their own projects or trying to perform general maintenance and cleanup.
You can deal with most vandalism yourself: [[Wikibooks:Dealing with vandalism|fix it]], then [[Wikibooks:Templates/User_notices|warn the user]]. If there is repeated vandalism by one user, lots of vandalism on a single page, or vandalism from many users, tell an admin here, or in [irc://irc.freenode.net/wikibooks #wikibooks] (say <code>!admin</code> to get attention).
For more general questions and assistance that doesn't require an administrator, please use the [[WB:HELP|Assistance Reading Room]].

{{Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN codes)/Warning}}{{clear}}
It is the tenth digit that gives you the model year for GM. I've been working at a Chevy dealer for years running codes/vins. For example (my examples only apply to 2001-2015 gm vehicles)
Remember 10th digit from the beginning, (left to right).
2001... 1,
2002...2,
2003...3,
etc.,
2009...9.
After 2009, the tenth digit was given a letter
2010... A,
2011...B,
2012...C,
2013...D,
2014...E,
2015...F,
Etc...
We have another 20 years worth of letters.
Thanks for reading.
You can always check your model year by looking in your drivers side door jamb and it will give you model year. If it was assembled in July or later, the model year is probably a year later than the calendar year of the manufacturing date listed.

===Platform & Series Codes 1985- Passenger Car===
GM used a lettered system of automobile platform codes for three decades. These letters were used as the fourth position of the VIN. Though today's GM platforms use Greek characters, they are still encoded with Latin characters in the fourth position. Position five encodes the specific model and trim level of the vehicle.

The initial data respond to the following pre-established conditions:
# Is a close system, meaning that the sum of all the values is equal or very close to 100%
# There are no zero values present (I will deal with zero values in a separate example to avoid complicating the initial model).
# There are no statistical outliers (hurricane values) present.
# There is a big difference between the concentRations of the major oxides with respect to the trace elements.
# As shown in Figs. 2-4, there are embedded positive and significant correlation between Cu and As, Ni and Co, and MgO and K<sub>2</sub>O.
# Finally, I introduced significant negative correlations between K<sub>2</sub>O and CaO (Fig. 5), SiO<sub>2</sub> and Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> (Fig 6), K<sub>2</sub>O and Cu (Fig. 7), Na<sub>2</sub>O and K<sub>2</sub>O (Fig. 8), and Co with Cu (Fig 9).
[[Image:Figures_2_to_9_Pre_established_conditions.jpg|center]]
According to these embedded conditions, any correlation analysis must give us two coefficients (Range Correlation Coefficient or RCC):
;Equation 1: Range Correlation Coefficient type A for the initial data, according to the embedded correlations.

;Equation 2: Range Correlation Coefficient type B for the initial data, according to the embedded correlations.

==Case One==
For this case, I will process the initial dataset as a whole, without differentiating between major and trace elements.
Since we established that there are no statistical outliers and no zero values within the data, the first step was to determine their distribution, using the kurtosis and skewness test as described by Kashdan et al, (1979). As one can see from Table 2, all elements responded to a Normal Distribution Law, except for CaO and Na2O, so the next step was to transform those values into Logarithms before testing their correlations.

It is a common practice in geology that for n > 30 and a probability of 0.05 (95%), if t<sub>c</sub> > 3, then the correlation is significant. Table 6 shows which correlations are significant from the initial dataset.

===Selecting the proper RCCs===
Since the use of Range Correlation Coefficients (RCC) is not a common practice, I will explain in more detail the methodoLogy for their selection from the significant correlations.
a. We start by ranging all correlations from the highest positive to the lowest negative correlation.
b. Start at the bottom of the list and select all the negative significant correlations first to create the initial coefficient.
c. After the first time you use a correlation pair, every time you get the same element, put a dot on top as shown in equation 4.
;Equation 4: Example of the calculation of the multiplicative factor on a RCC.
[[Image:Equation_4_Exampla_RCC.jpg]]
This example means that you had a significant positive correlation between Cu and As and two significant negative correlations between Co and Cu and Co and As.
d. Once you finish with the negative significant correlations, go back to the top of the list and repeat the same process for the positive correlations.
e. If it is possible, do combine the obtained coefficients.
f. If you get a contradictory result, e.g. an element that has “conflicting correlations” with previous elements, take those elements out from the coefficient and start a new one.
You can reduce the size of the obtained RCC by eliminating the less frequent elements and subtracting their influence from the overall coefficient. For example, let us assume that we obtained the RCC represented in equation 5 as follow:
;Equation 5: Hypothetical RCC to demonstrate the reduction process.
[[Image:Equation_5_Hypothetical_RCC.jpg]]
If we would like to eliminate the Sc and the L.O.I., we first eliminate the L.O.I. and subtract 2 from every element from equation 5.
;Equation 6: Hypothetical RCC without the L.O.I. component.
[[Image:Equation_6_Hypothetical_RCC.jpg]]
Then we would subtract the remaining Sc as shown in equation 7.
;Equation 7: Hypothetical RCC without the remaining Sc.
[[Image:Equation_7_Hypothetical_RCC.jpg]]
===RCC from the initial dataset===
According to Table 5, and using the methodoLogy just described, I obtained the RCC shown in equation 8.
;Equation 8: RCC1 for the initial dataset.
[[Image:Equation_8_RCC1.jpg]]
In addition, because L.O.I. has a conflicting correlation with some elements from RCC1, I created a separated RCC for this case as shown in equation 9.
;Equation 9: RCC 2 for the initial dataset.
[[Image:Equation 9 RCC2.jpg]]
Before we use SURFER v. 8.0 to graphically plot these coefficients over our model of mineralization, let us graphically analyze these coefficients using Grapher v. 7.0, also from the Golden Software suite of programs (www.goldensoftware.com).
===Analysis of the RCCs from the initial dataset.===
The objective of the processing of the data should be to obtain a RCC that will be as similar as possible to our theoretical ones represented by equations 1 and specially equation 2. We can see that we obtained all the embedded correlations, but “masked” by the presence of spurious (inexistent) ones. For example:
#There is no correlation whatsoever between Al2O3 and the other elements (Fig. 10)
#Same situation with the Fe2O3 (Fig. 11).
#Same situation with the Sc (Fig 12).
#Same situation with the TiO2 (Fig. 13).
#Same situation with the L.O.I. (Fig. 14).
[[Image:Figures_10_to_14_Absence_correlations.jpg]]
Note however, that if we only choose the most strong correlations (r>0.92), then we get a RCC with just the embedded correlations.
== Case Two ==
A more common way to study this kind of data will be to separate the major oxides from the trace elements and treat them separately. It is often intuitively clear for geologists that when mixing percentages with ppm or ppb, the existing correlation between the trace elements is masked or eliminated by the relationships between the major oxides.
So I proceeded to separate the initial dataset into major oxides and trace elements (Tables 7 and 8 in the file Initial data.xls [worksheet “Processing”], located in the attached CD).

==== Analysis of the RCCs from the major oxides of the initial dataset. ====
As it was the case when we processed the whole dataset, here we obtain a RCC that contains the hypothetical one that we are looking to obtain (equation 1), but it is masked by the presence of other elements, many of them without real correlations between them (equation 10).

==== Analysis of the RCCs from the Trace Elements of the initial dataset. ====
As it was the case when we processed the whole dataset, here we obtain a RCC that contains the hypothetical one that we are looking to obtain (equation 2), but it is masked by the presence of other elements, many of them without real correlations between them (equation 11).
'''Equation 11. RCC 4 for the trace elements of the initial dataset.'''
[[Image:RCC 4 for the trace elements of the initial dataset Equation_11.jpg]]
== Graphical representation of the RCCs ==
Using SURFER v.8 from Golden Software Inc., (you can download the demos from www.goldensoftware.com), I obtained Figures 15 – 18.
[[Image:Graphical representation of the RCCs Figures_15_to_18.jpg]]
RCC1 only maps the southwestern border of the mineralized target in a much-dispersed fan that makes it impossible to use as a targeting tool. This was our best RCC from the analysis of the whole dataset.
The only reason why RCC2 partially covers the ore body is the strong and real correlations between Ni, Co, and K<sub>2</sub>O. None of these elements have however, a correlation with L.O.I:, therefore, this is a classic example of the formation of a spurious correlation because we applied correlation analysis to a “closed” dataset.
RCC3 contains one of the embedded correlations (SiO<sub>2</sub> vs. Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>), but it also contains several spurious correlations and, since it is a petrographic association, has little to do with the location of the ore body.
Finally, RRC4 is mostly our main embedded correlation, and although it also contains some spurious components (e.g. correlation with Sc), it is not surprising that it maps perfectly the ore body.
== Conclusions and recommendations from the processing of the initial dataset ==
Closed systems do provoke spurious correlations that mask the effectiveness of the established RCC. This is especially true when processing datasets that contain a combination of major oxides and trace elements. In those cases, I recommend to use only the extremely intense correlations.
A more useful solution is to separate major oxides from trace elements, and concentrate again only on the intense correlations. The disadvantage here is that we do not use the combine information of both groups of elements.
Will the transformation of the data be more efficient in the creation of RCCs that will help us target the mineralized zone within the granodiorite intrusive?
= Compositional Data Analysis =
The CoDaPack software (which is included in the attached CD and the user guide is presented in Appendix 1) offers three type of transformation, the Centered Log-Ratio transformation (CRL), the Additive Log-Ratio transformation (ARL), and the Isometric Log-Ratio transformation (IRL). The last two require a column with the residual (100 minus the sum of all the other components).
== Centered Log-Ratio Transformation (CLR) ==
Appendix 1 contains the instructions on how to use the CoDaPack software. Since there are no zero values in our dataset, we can proceed directly to the CLR transformation (see table).

As Table 12 shows, the dataset is now “open”, since the sum of all the components is equal to zero, not 100%.
Once I achieved this transformation, I processed the data following the same steps as with the initial dataset. Tables 13 to 15 show the results of this process.

Using SYSTAT SPSS 10.0 for Windows I constructed a matrix of scatter plots (Fig. 19) to confirm the results from table 15, as well as some individual graphics using Grapher 7.0 which clearly show that all the correlations now are real (Figs. 20 – 23).
[[Image:Matrix of scatter plots for the CLR transformed data Figure_19.jpg]]
'''Figure 19. Matrix of scatter plots for the CLR transformed data.'''
| [[Image:Real Correlations Figures_20_to_23.jpg]]
Equation 12 shows the RCC determined for the CLR transformed data and equation 13 shows the same RCC, but reduced by eliminating the SiO<sub>2</sub> and the L.O.I.
'''Equation 12. RCC5 for the CLR transformed data.'''
[[Image:RCC5 for the CLR transformed data Equation_12.jpg]]
'''Equation 13. RCC5a for the CLR transformed data after reducing the SiO<sub>2</sub> and the L.O.I.'''
[[Image:RCC5a for the CLR transformed data after reducing the SiO2 and the LOI Equation_13.jpg]]
Fig. 24 shows that RCC5a can effectively target the copper mineralization within the granodiorite intrusive.
[[Image:The RCC5a can effectively target the copper mineralization within the granodiorite intrusive Figure_24.jpg]]
'''Figure 24. The RCC5a can effectively target the copper mineralization within the granodiorite intrusive.'''
Now, if we will use only the strongest correlations (r>0.95) then we will obtain RCC6 and RCC7 (equations 14 and 15).
'''Equation 14. RCC 6 for correlations stronger than ±0.95 for the CLR transformed data.'''
[[Image:RCC 6 for correlations stronger than ±0.95 for the CLR transformed data Equation_14.jpg]]
'''Equation 15. RCC 7 for correlations stronger than ±0.95 for the CLR transformed data.'''
[[Image:RCC 7 for correlations stronger than ±0.95 for the CLR transformed data Equation_15.jpg]]
As one can see from Fig. 25, RCC 6 is an almost perfect match with the location of the ore body. The RCC 7 (Fig 26) is similar to RCC 3 and represents a petroLogic association.
[[Image:Almost perfect correspondence between the RCC 6 and the location of the ore body Figure_25.jpg]]

Equations 16 and 17 shows the RCCs determined for the ALR transformed data. It is interesting to note that all the correlations here are positive.
'''Equation 16. RCC 8 of the ARL transformed data.'''

'''Equation 17. RCC 9 of the ARL transformed data.'''
[[Image:RCC 9 of the ARL transformed data Equation_17.jpg]]
Figures 28 and 29 show the spatial behavior of these RCCs with respect to the location of the ore body. If we combine both RCCs, we obtain equation 18 (Fig. 30).

=== Conclusions and Recommendations from the Compositional Data Analysis ===
One very important effect of “opening” a dataset by using any of these transformations is that we get rid off all spurious correlations. The transformed data do contain unexpected correlations, but they are real.
Another important point is that we do not need to process the data separately (e.g. separating major oxides from trace elements), but can process the whole dataset taking advantage of the information contained in both groups.
From all the RCCs obtained so far, the RCC 8, RCC 9, and especially the RCC9/8 (ALR) were by far the most efficient one for targeting the copper mineralization.
The CRL transformed data did also provide for useful RCCs, especially if we concentrate in the higher correlations.
Finally, the IRL transformed data was effective for as long as the geochemist will “interpret” the coefficient and not plot them blindly. For example, a geochemist should know that elements like Pb and Co, usually concentrate bellow the ore body (inframinerals), and therefore while using RCC 13, the investigator should concentrate on the lower values as an indication of the location of the ore body. We have a similar situation with RCC 11. The investigator should know that a common effect of sodic metasomatism would be the lixiviation of MgO and K<sub>2</sub>O; therefore, the geochemist should be looking for lower values of the RCC.
In general, I can state that transformed data are more effective for the location of the mineralized targets than the non-transformed dataset, and that the ARL method seems to be the most effective for processing this type of data. However, the geochemist should always use his background knowledge to help to decide the most efficient RCC for the studied area.
I recommend the use of the software CoDaPack for the processing of any type of “closed” dataset.

== Retiring [[Template:Deleted page]] ==
{{tlx|Deleted page}} is a template that was used back in the day before salting (page creation protection) existed. Back then, if an admin wanted to prevent a page from being recreated, they would delete it and then recreate it with just that template, before fully protecting it. This method is completely unnecessary now that we can directly create-protect pages, and no new page has been added to [[:Category:Protected deleted pages]] in nearly eight years.
Furthermore, I would like to propose that all the pages that currently have {{tlx|Naming policy notice}} be deleted and added to the ''title blacklist''. In the [[MediaWiki:Titleblacklist|title blacklist]], the error message should be set to an interface message that transcludes {{tlx|Naming policy notice}}. Since this is an editor-facing template, only would-be editors should be able to see it.

== Some proposals involving a separate permission request page and notification of ongoing RFAs ==
I would like to propose the following below:
=== Proposal 1 ===
<s>We split off [[Wikibooks:Requests for adminship]] as a separate page for requesting adminship, bureaucrat, checkuser and suppressor (oversight) permissions. All other permissions, except the former mentioned permissions, would still be requested at [[Wikibooks:Requests for permissions]] (this is also the case for requesting interface administrator permissions, for admins).</s>
=== Proposal 2 ===
Given the low activity on this project, I propose that we must notify the community about ongoing RFAs, which could be either [[MediaWiki:Sitenotice]] or adding a notification at [[Wikibooks:Reading room/General]]. A general rule is that the notification must be written in a neutral fashion.
=== In conclusion... ===
Feel free to comment, ask, or anything else. Thanks. [[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Codename Noreste|contribs]]) 02:31, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

:# I agree with @[[User:Leaderboard|Leaderboard]] and don't really see a need for splitting off [[Wikibooks:Requests for adminship]] as a separate page, since there are generally not so many requests.
:# I do think it could potentially be useful to notify the community about requests for adminship using [[MediaWiki:Sitenotice]]—it's not something I've seen us do before. @[[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]] are you proposing specifically that we codify it in policy?

== Implement Visual Editor in more namespaces ==
{{closed|The Phabricator task has been resolved, and VE is enabled on the proposed namespaces as of today. [[User:Codename Noreste|<span style="color:#0024FF">Codename Noreste</span>]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Codename Noreste|contribs]]) 17:06, 27 January 2026 (UTC)}}
See the [[Wikibooks:Reading room/Technical Assistance#Visual Editor Implementation|original discussion]] for reference.
===Proposal===
Currently, the visual editor is implemented on the following namespaces:
* Main
* User
* Help
* Category
* Cookbook
* Wikijunior
I am proposing that we implement the visual editor on the following namespaces:
* Wikibooks
* Transwiki
===Reasoning===
I use the source editor and the visual editor for different purposes. One of my primary uses of the visual editor is for text-heavy pages, where I use it for writing content and proofreading/copyediting. In contrast, I use the source editor for more complex and technical edits. I find it very difficult to parse text in the source editor, especially when there are many templates, tables, links, etc, and it is a pretty significant accessibility issue for me—I imagine that it could be so for other users as well.
The Wikibooks and Transwiki namespaces are both namespaces that contain text- and content-heavy pages (e.g. policies, guidelines, essays), and I know I would benefit from the visual editor here—for example, I am currently working on the [[Wikibooks:Artificial intelligence/Unstable|unstable branch of a policy]], and it is proving to be kind of a pain to do without having the visual editor as an adjunct tool.
The main challenge I see is that the Wikibooks namespace contains some talk pages (i.e. the reading room), and the visual editor is not intended for talk pages. However, there is [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T370158 precedent] for implementing the visual editor in namespaces that contain talk pages as long as it is understood that the visual editor is not intended for these talk pages. Overall, it looks technically feasible.

== Redefining the inactivity policy for administrators and bots ==
Hi. I would like to propose that we redefine the inactivity policy for administrators (superseding the current procedure), and to create a local inactivity policy for bots.
* For administrators that have made zero edits '''''and''''' zero logged actions for over a year, they will be listed under the removal section of [[Wikibooks:Requests for permissions]] (and notified on their user talk pages), where they are given a specific timeframe to respond so that they can retain their access, unless they specify otherwise. If they do not respond after that timeframe, a request will be forwarded to the removal section of [[:m:SRP]]. Should the timeframe last at least one week, two weeks, or one month?
* For bots, the process is slightly different. Bots that are inactive (made no edits/logged actions) for over two years will be listed under the removal section of RfP (in the same manner as inactive administrators), but their operators must be notified first, and a week is given for the operators to respond. After the timeframe passes and an operator does not respond to the inactive bot removal request (for example), a request will be forwarded to the removal section of [[:m:SRB]]. Bot users that do not have the bot user group might be exempt, unless the discussion proposes otherwise.

== Create a "file" that is an Example Book structured to be copied/used to quickly start a new book? ==
I am new to Wikibooks, if this already exists let me know....
If there was a Wikibook "file" that contained all the templates and "parts" that are used to create a properly structured book, it might be easier and quicker to create and contribute books here. This would have to include text that would explain the purpose of each of the sections and templates and offer advice for making changes that customize the example.
One might copy it to their sandbox, follow the directions and make the updates that create the framework for their book. Then the work would be to fill in the text. I suppose the downside is that books would be categorized and shelved that are in progress. Abandoned books would need to be deleted or some template might need to be developed that might indicate that the book is incomplete. This would be removed when the book is ready for prime-time.

== Introduce speedy deletion criteria? ==
I would like to propose that we introduce speedy deletion criteria to Wikibooks, such as {{tq|G1: [reason]}}. I suggest that we adapt from the English Wikipedia's CSD criteria ([[:w:Wikipedia:Speedy deletion]]) but utilize our existing deletion reasons, and even include '''G''' for general, '''R''' for redirects, and so on.
Speedy deletion reasons are already included in the [[Wikibooks:Deletion policy|deletion policy]], but should this proposal pass, the new speedy deletion criteria can be split out to a separate policy page, if needed (e.g. [[Wikibooks:Speedy deletion]]).

::This generally looks good; I've got a couple comments on specific criteria:
::* "G5. Pages dependent on a non-existent or deleted page" includes subpages with no parent page. Given the extent to which Wikibooks uses page nesting, this seems risky - at a minimum, the criterion should be revised to "subpages with no parent '''book'''", and existing pages which meet this criterion should be grandfathered in or otherwise addressed.
::* "B4. Books that duplicate an existing topic" should probably be removed. Unlike Wikipedia, Wikibooks has historically allowed multiple books to address the same topic, e.g. [[Mandarin Chinese]] and [[Chinese (Mandarin)]], or [[C++ Language]] and [[C++ Programming]]. Whether a book "expands upon, details or improves information" in another book is very subjective; determining whether this is the case should be handled in a deletion discussion, not by an admin processing speedy deletions.
::Additionally, I'd suggest that three criteria be added:
::* Books which are over a week old and which contain no instructional content (e.g. books which are nothing but a table of contents). These books are already routinely deleted under [[WB:NMC]]; adopting this as a CSD streamlines the process.
::* Pages in any namespace which are unambiguously advertisements or promotional in nature (akin to [[:w:WP:CSD#G11]]).
::* Pages in any namespace which infringe upon copyright, akin to [[:w:WP:CSD#G12]]. F6/F7 address ''files'' which are copyvios, but not text.

:::@[[User:Omphalographer|Omphalographer]]: I agree on your thoughts for the removal of B4 and the addition of a new general criterion for copyvios, so I did those. However, I think that G5 is fine in its current state. I don't understand what situation would be "risky" in this case, so please provide some example for that. Additionally, I don't think we need an advertisement criterion right now, as Wikibooks does not seem to have a promotion problem, as it is a collection of textbooks. Also, you mentioned [[Wikibooks:NMC]] as a new criterion even though I copy-pasted criterion G1 from the exact part you mentioned. Such pages could be deleted under G1. [[User:kingofnuthin|<span style="font-family: Georgia; color: lime">kingofnuthin</span>]] ([[User talk:kingofnuthin|<span style="font-family: Georgia; color: teal">talk</span>]]) 16:06, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
::::With regards to G5, I've seen some situations where a book was incorrectly renamed in such a way that some of the subpages remained under the original title of the book, or pages of a book are inadvertently created under an incorrect title. Given the proposed wording for G5, those pages would be eligible for speedy deletion, even though they are in use as part of the book.
::::With regards to advertisements, Wikibooks does get some spam page creations; you'll see some if you scroll through [https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=delete the deletion log]. It's typically deleted quickly by admins, but if we're codifying criteria for speedy deletion, this should be included as an allowable reason.
::::As far as G1 / NMC is concerned, I initially read G1 as applying only to pages which contain no meaningful content at all, like pages which are empty, nonsense, or vandalism, and which should be deleted promptly. I see this as distinct from books which are superficially well-formed, but which fail to develop, e.g. a user who creates an ambitious-sounding table of contents for a book, but never returns to write any of the text. These shouldn't be deleted immediately (since it takes time to write content!), but are routinely speedily deleted once it's clear that no further content is forthcoming. Since this is a bit of a different process, it should probably be treated as a separate criterion.

:::::I added "Editors should be careful when nominating such pages, as they might be incorrectly named instead. In such cases, editors should move the page to its correctly-titled version." to G5. For advertising you said "Wikibooks does get some spam page creations", but we already have "Spam and vandalism" for G1.

== Questions about [[Wikibooks:Annotated texts]] ==
I was recently reading over the policy on annotated texts and had a few questions aimed at reforming that policy. (The talk page for the policy has been inactive for eleven years, so I figured a post there would be unlikely to attract attention.)
# First and foremost - how many annotated texts of the type described by this policy are actually hosted on Wikibooks? I am only aware of one, [[Annotations to James Joyce's Ulysses]], which is quite incomplete. Are there a significant number more that I am unable to find? If not, might it be appropriate to revise this policy and related documents to reflect that annotated texts are, at best, an experimental part of the project?
# The policy on annotated texts currently permits '''unannotated''' source texts to be hosted on Wikibooks provided that either the text is not on Wikisource, or that it is "widely used in classrooms". This seems like a rather large unintended loophole in the policy - there are innumerable texts which have not been transcribed on Wikisource, but which it would not make sense for Wikibooks to house either. Similarly, there are many texts which are "widely used in classrooms", but which have never been annotated on Wikibooks and are unlikely to ever be. The policy also notes the possibility that a multilingual project could create annotated texts with parallel page names across all language editions; I am certainly unaware of any such. Are there any texts on Wikibooks which rely on this policy, or would it be appropriate to strike this section?
[[User:Omphalographer|Omphalographer]] ([[User talk:Omphalographer|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Omphalographer|contribs]]) 18:54, 28 April 2026 (UTC)
:The policy seems to be contradicting [[Wikibooks:SOURCE]], which states that annotated texts are the only exception to published texts being on Wikibooks. This means that we have a policy that says unannotated source texts are permitted, and another one that says they aren't allowed. [[User:kingofnuthin|<span style="font-family: Georgia; color: lime">kingofnuthin</span>]] ([[User talk:kingofnuthin|<span style="font-family: Georgia; color: teal">talk</span>]]) 19:02, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

:::Correct, it is not an inline annotation: I was just pointing it out as another kind of annotated text here.
:::For what it's worth, our sister project Wikisource [[:s:en:Category:Wikisource annotations|also hosts inline annotations]], such as [[:s:en:What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?/Annotated]], which I made. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 16:33, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
:::The main problem here is that the policy permits "unannotated texts" even though we don't host them here. I think that the first thing you mentioned can stay but we might need to strike out the second part from the policy as it is contradictory.

::::Yeah - I certainly don't mean to suggest that the ''Ulysses'' annotations need to go away; I'm mostly curious if this policy has any wider applicability, or if its only function is to allow this one text.

== Proposal related to FlaggedRevs ==
As said per [[Wikibooks:Reading room/General#Page patrolling]], I would like to propose the following:
# <code>$wgUseNPPatrol</code> and <code>$wgUseFilePatrol</code> are both to be set to <code>false</code>.
# <code>autopatrol</code> and <code>patrol</code> are to be removed from some user groups on this wiki.
This is because FlaggedRevs is used to review new pages and edits, so I don't think MediaWiki's native patrol function is needed here. It's similar to [[phab:T423461]] (completely turning off the new page patrol function on Ukrainian Wikipedia).

== Retiring [[Template:Deleted page]] ==
{{tlx|Deleted page}} is a template that was used back in the day before salting (page creation protection) existed. Back then, if an admin wanted to prevent a page from being recreated, they would delete it and then recreate it with just that template, before fully protecting it. This method is completely unnecessary now that we can directly create-protect pages, and no new page has been added to [[:Category:Protected deleted pages]] in nearly eight years.
Furthermore, I would like to propose that all the pages that currently have {{tlx|Naming policy notice}} be deleted and added to the ''title blacklist''. In the [[MediaWiki:Titleblacklist|title blacklist]], the error message should be set to an interface message that transcludes {{tlx|Naming policy notice}}. Since this is an editor-facing template, only would-be editors should be able to see it.

== Some proposals involving a separate permission request page and notification of ongoing RFAs ==
I would like to propose the following below:
=== Proposal 1 ===
<s>We split off [[Wikibooks:Requests for adminship]] as a separate page for requesting adminship, bureaucrat, checkuser and suppressor (oversight) permissions. All other permissions, except the former mentioned permissions, would still be requested at [[Wikibooks:Requests for permissions]] (this is also the case for requesting interface administrator permissions, for admins).</s>
=== Proposal 2 ===
Given the low activity on this project, I propose that we must notify the community about ongoing RFAs, which could be either [[MediaWiki:Sitenotice]] or adding a notification at [[Wikibooks:Reading room/General]]. A general rule is that the notification must be written in a neutral fashion.
=== In conclusion... ===
Feel free to comment, ask, or anything else. Thanks. [[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Codename Noreste|contribs]]) 02:31, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

== Implement Visual Editor in more namespaces ==
{{closed|The Phabricator task has been resolved, and VE is enabled on the proposed namespaces as of today.

See the [[Wikibooks:Reading room/Technical Assistance#Visual Editor Implementation|original discussion]] for reference.
===Proposal===
Currently, the visual editor is implemented on the following namespaces:
* Main
* User
* Help
* Category
* Cookbook
* Wikijunior
I am proposing that we implement the visual editor on the following namespaces:
* Wikibooks
* Transwiki
===Reasoning===
I use the source editor and the visual editor for different purposes. One of my primary uses of the visual editor is for text-heavy pages, where I use it for writing content and proofreading/copyediting. In contrast, I use the source editor for more complex and technical edits. I find it very difficult to parse text in the source editor, especially when there are many templates, tables, links, etc, and it is a pretty significant accessibility issue for me—I imagine that it could be so for other users as well.
The Wikibooks and Transwiki namespaces are both namespaces that contain text- and content-heavy pages (e.g. policies, guidelines, essays), and I know I would benefit from the visual editor here—for example, I am currently working on the [[Wikibooks:Artificial intelligence/Unstable|unstable branch of a policy]], and it is proving to be kind of a pain to do without having the visual editor as an adjunct tool.
The main challenge I see is that the Wikibooks namespace contains some talk pages (i.e. the reading room), and the visual editor is not intended for talk pages. However, there is [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T370158 precedent] for implementing the visual editor in namespaces that contain talk pages as long as it is understood that the visual editor is not intended for these talk pages. Overall, it looks technically feasible.

== Redefining the inactivity policy for administrators and bots ==
Hi. I would like to propose that we redefine the inactivity policy for administrators (superseding the current procedure), and to create a local inactivity policy for bots.
* For administrators that have made zero edits '''''and''''' zero logged actions for over a year, they will be listed under the removal section of [[Wikibooks:Requests for permissions]] (and notified on their user talk pages), where they are given a specific timeframe to respond so that they can retain their access, unless they specify otherwise. If they do not respond after that timeframe, a request will be forwarded to the removal section of [[:m:SRP]]. Should the timeframe last at least one week, two weeks, or one month?
* For bots, the process is slightly different. Bots that are inactive (made no edits/logged actions) for over two years will be listed under the removal section of RfP (in the same manner as inactive administrators), but their operators must be notified first, and a week is given for the operators to respond. After the timeframe passes and an operator does not respond to the inactive bot removal request (for example), a request will be forwarded to the removal section of [[:m:SRB]]. Bot users that do not have the bot user group might be exempt, unless the discussion proposes otherwise.

== Create a "file" that is an Example Book structured to be copied/used to quickly start a new book? ==
I am new to Wikibooks, if this already exists let me know....
If there was a Wikibook "file" that contained all the templates and "parts" that are used to create a properly structured book, it might be easier and quicker to create and contribute books here. This would have to include text that would explain the purpose of each of the sections and templates and offer advice for making changes that customize the example.
One might copy it to their sandbox, follow the directions and make the updates that create the framework for their book. Then the work would be to fill in the text. I suppose the downside is that books would be categorized and shelved that are in progress. Abandoned books would need to be deleted or some template might need to be developed that might indicate that the book is incomplete. This would be removed when the book is ready for prime-time.

== Introduce speedy deletion criteria? ==
I would like to propose that we introduce speedy deletion criteria to Wikibooks, such as {{tq|G1: [reason]}}. I suggest that we adapt from the English Wikipedia's CSD criteria ([[:w:Wikipedia:Speedy deletion]]) but utilize our existing deletion reasons, and even include '''G''' for general, '''R''' for redirects, and so on.
Speedy deletion reasons are already included in the [[Wikibooks:Deletion policy|deletion policy]], but should this proposal pass, the new speedy deletion criteria can be split out to a separate policy page, if needed (e.g. [[Wikibooks:Speedy deletion]]).

:@[[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]] I created a very early draft in [[User:Kingofnuthin/sandbox|my sandbox]] by merging content from [[w:Wikipedia:Speedy deletion]] and [[Wikibooks:Deletion policy]]. I added most of the criteria from English Wikipedia's page but I left some that can't be in Wikibooks (such as notability criteria). As I said, the draft is currently very undetailed and only provides simple explanations for criteria except for a few of them. You can add this draft to [[Wikibooks:Speedy deletion]] to clarify the details of the proposal. I am also open to any feedback regarding the draft.

::This generally looks good; I've got a couple comments on specific criteria:
::* "G5. Pages dependent on a non-existent or deleted page" includes subpages with no parent page. Given the extent to which Wikibooks uses page nesting, this seems risky - at a minimum, the criterion should be revised to "subpages with no parent '''book'''", and existing pages which meet this criterion should be grandfathered in or otherwise addressed.
::* "B4. Books that duplicate an existing topic" should probably be removed. Unlike Wikipedia, Wikibooks has historically allowed multiple books to address the same topic, e.g. [[Mandarin Chinese]] and [[Chinese (Mandarin)]], or [[C++ Language]] and [[C++ Programming]]. Whether a book "expands upon, details or improves information" in another book is very subjective; determining whether this is the case should be handled in a deletion discussion, not by an admin processing speedy deletions.
::Additionally, I'd suggest that three criteria be added:
::* Books which are over a week old and which contain no instructional content (e.g. books which are nothing but a table of contents). These books are already routinely deleted under [[WB:NMC]]; adopting this as a CSD streamlines the process.
::* Pages in any namespace which are unambiguously advertisements or promotional in nature (akin to [[:w:WP:CSD#G11]]).
::* Pages in any namespace which infringe upon copyright, akin to [[:w:WP:CSD#G12]]. F6/F7 address ''files'' which are copyvios, but not text.

::: [[User:Omphalographer|Omphalographer]], feel free to make those changes to [[Wikibooks:Speedy deletion]], from your comments. It's a draft proposal.

:::@[[User:Omphalographer|Omphalographer]]: I agree on your thoughts for the removal of B4 and the addition of a new general criterion for copyvios, so I did those. However, I think that G5 is fine in its current state. I don't understand what situation would be "risky" in this case, so please provide some example for that. Additionally, I don't think we need an advertisement criterion right now, as Wikibooks does not seem to have a promotion problem, as it is a collection of textbooks. Also, you mentioned [[Wikibooks:NMC]] as a new criterion even though I copy-pasted criterion G1 from the exact part you mentioned. Such pages could be deleted under G1. [[User:kingofnuthin|<span style="font-family: Georgia; color: lime">kingofnuthin</span>]] ([[User talk:kingofnuthin|<span style="font-family: Georgia; color: teal">talk</span>]]) 16:06, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
::::With regards to G5, I've seen some situations where a book was incorrectly renamed in such a way that some of the subpages remained under the original title of the book, or pages of a book are inadvertently created under an incorrect title. Given the proposed wording for G5, those pages would be eligible for speedy deletion, even though they are in use as part of the book.
::::With regards to advertisements, Wikibooks does get some spam page creations; you'll see some if you scroll through [https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=delete the deletion log]. It's typically deleted quickly by admins, but if we're codifying criteria for speedy deletion, this should be included as an allowable reason.
::::As far as G1 / NMC is concerned, I initially read G1 as applying only to pages which contain no meaningful content at all, like pages which are empty, nonsense, or vandalism, and which should be deleted promptly. I see this as distinct from books which are superficially well-formed, but which fail to develop, e.g. a user who creates an ambitious-sounding table of contents for a book, but never returns to write any of the text. These shouldn't be deleted immediately (since it takes time to write content!), but are routinely speedily deleted once it's clear that no further content is forthcoming. Since this is a bit of a different process, it should probably be treated as a separate criterion.

:::::I added "Editors should be careful when nominating such pages, as they might be incorrectly named instead. In such cases, editors should move the page to its correctly-titled version." to G5. For advertising you said "Wikibooks does get some spam page creations", but we already have "Spam and vandalism" for G1. In G1, I removed "abandoned content" and made it a new criterion B5 under the book section. (As this would only apply to books.)

== Questions about [[Wikibooks:Annotated texts]] ==
I was recently reading over the policy on annotated texts and had a few questions aimed at reforming that policy. (The talk page for the policy has been inactive for eleven years, so I figured a post there would be unlikely to attract attention.)
# First and foremost - how many annotated texts of the type described by this policy are actually hosted on Wikibooks? I am only aware of one, [[Annotations to James Joyce's Ulysses]], which is quite incomplete. Are there a significant number more that I am unable to find? If not, might it be appropriate to revise this policy and related documents to reflect that annotated texts are, at best, an experimental part of the project?
# The policy on annotated texts currently permits '''unannotated''' source texts to be hosted on Wikibooks provided that either the text is not on Wikisource, or that it is "widely used in classrooms". This seems like a rather large unintended loophole in the policy - there are innumerable texts which have not been transcribed on Wikisource, but which it would not make sense for Wikibooks to house either. Similarly, there are many texts which are "widely used in classrooms", but which have never been annotated on Wikibooks and are unlikely to ever be. The policy also notes the possibility that a multilingual project could create annotated texts with parallel page names across all language editions; I am certainly unaware of any such. Are there any texts on Wikibooks which rely on this policy, or would it be appropriate to strike this section?
[[User:Omphalographer|Omphalographer]] ([[User talk:Omphalographer|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Omphalographer|contribs]]) 18:54, 28 April 2026 (UTC)
:The policy seems to be contradicting [[Wikibooks:SOURCE]], which states that annotated texts are the only exception to published texts being on Wikibooks. This means that we have a policy that says unannotated source texts are permitted, and another one that says they aren't allowed.

::That isn't an annotated text of the type described by this policy, as it doesn't include the original text that's being commented on. (Which it can't, because ''Peanuts'' is still under copyright.)

:::Correct, it is not an inline annotation: I was just pointing it out as another kind of annotated text here.
:::For what it's worth, our sister project Wikisource [[:s:en:Category:Wikisource annotations|also hosts inline annotations]], such as [[:s:en:What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?/Annotated]], which I made. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 16:33, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
:::The main problem here is that the policy permits "unannotated texts" even though we don't host them here. I think that the first thing you mentioned can stay but we might need to strike out the second part from the policy as it is contradictory.

::::Yeah - I certainly don't mean to suggest that the ''Ulysses'' annotations need to go away; I'm mostly curious if this policy has any wider applicability, or if its only function is to allow this one text.

== Proposal related to FlaggedRevs ==
As said per [[Wikibooks:Reading room/General#Page patrolling]], I would like to propose the following:
# <code>$wgUseNPPatrol</code> and <code>$wgUseFilePatrol</code> are both to be set to <code>false</code>.
# <code>autopatrol</code> and <code>patrol</code> are to be removed from some user groups on this wiki.
This is because FlaggedRevs is used to review new pages and edits, so I don't think MediaWiki's native patrol function is needed here. It's similar to [[phab:T423461]] (completely turning off the new page patrol function on Ukrainian Wikipedia).
In addition, I would like to propose we move the following interface pages once after the below configuration has been implemented:
* [[MediaWiki:Revreview-value]] to [[MediaWiki:Revreview-accuracy]]
* [[MediaWiki:Revreview-value-1]] to [[MediaWiki:Revreview-accuracy-1]]
* [[MediaWiki:Revreview-value-2]] to [[MediaWiki:Revreview-accuracy-2]]
* [[MediaWiki:Revreview-value-3]] to [[MediaWiki:Revreview-accuracy-3]]
I don't really see a reason why we should use {{tq|value}} instead of {{tq|accuracy}} to stand out, when some other projects use {{tq|accuracy}}.

{{XML-MDE|prev=XUL|next=Web Services}}
AJAX is nowadays one of the most common used words in the WEB 2.0 era. While the historic remains of it are not really clear (similar logic to manipulate parts of a webpage was already thought of as DHTML, long before the term AJAX existed and suprisingly even using some type of DOM later on) it is now one of the most important technologies used by modern webdesigners.
<br>But what does AJAX mean? - In short, AJAX stands for '''''A'''synchronous '''J'''avaScript '''a'''nd '''X'''ML''. It describes a concept of asynchronous data transfer (here: data encapsulated in XML) between the client (usually a webbrowser) and a server to only exchange/ alter a part of the webpage without the need of a full pagereload. That means the browser will issue an XMLHttpRequest in the background and receive only a part of the page - usually tied to one or more html-tags holding uids.
The following are the main components of the Ajax programming pattern.
<ul><li>JavaScript - The most popular scripting language on the Web and supported by all major browsers. Ajax applications are built in JavaScript. </li>
<li>Document Object Model (DOM) - Defines the structure of a web page as a set of programmable objects. In Ajax programming, the DOM allows us to redraw portions of the page.</li>
<li>Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) - Provides a way to define the visual appearance of elements on a web page.</li>
<li>XMLHttpRequest - Allows a client-side script to perform an HTTP request, effectively eliminating a full-page refresh or postback in Ajax applications.</li>
<li>XML - It is sometimes used as the format for transferring data between the server and client, but other text-based formats work as well.</li>
</ul>
Ajax offers a number of advantages. Some of the most important are listed below.
<ul><li>Lower demand of bandwidth: The fact that it is not necessary to re-load a page completely when additional information is requested allows minimizing the data transfer. The demand of bandwidth is also reduced by producing HTML locally within the browser (note: however as we have additional overhead produced by the embedding of the JavaScript this is only true in case of more than one or two pagerequests from the same site).</li>
<li>Browser plug-in not necessary: Ajax runs with every browser which supports JavaScript. There is no additional plug-in needed. This is an advantage over technologies like Shockwave or Flash (note: in some cases however it is possible that some browsers behave different; especially IE prior to version 6 is known for odd behaviour).</li>
<li>Separation of data and formats: This allows the web application to be more efficient. Programmers can separate the methods and formats for delivering information over the web. So they can use a language they are familiar with (note: the reason for this is CSS and not AJAX).</li>
<li>Websites more user-friendly: Because of the minimized data transfer the response to the actions of the user is much faster. Furthermore interfaces built with Ajax can be more user-friendly (note: however, AJAX without fallback to plain-vanilla HTML request-response cycle is infamous for being a big drawback to barrier free web design).</li>
</ul>
== Classic RequestResponse vs. AJAX Cycle ==
<!-- Image commented as it was deleted. <center>[[Image:Xml-Ajax.png]]</center><br> -->
As you can see in the image, the AJAX cycle embedds an additional JavaScript library into the client side. The JS lib therefor is used to communicate with the server (in case the AJAX is in use) as well as manipulating the HTML page it is embedded on. For a small example well now take a look at a so called AutoComplete (we take a look at basic procesing there and skip the detailed JS-DOM manipulating). The traditional approach on the other hand allways requires a full request-response cycle that sends the whole page from the server to the browser.
== A Simple Example: AutoComplete ==
This example shows a simple AutoComplete textfield from the wicket examples (wicket is a component oriented JavaWebFramework under the hood of the ASF - http://wicket.apache.org/). The example is online [http://wicketstuff.org/wicket13/ajax/autocomplete live here] so you can not only follow the code but rather see it live in action.
<br><br>
[[Image:Xml-autocomplete.png|center]]
<br>
The idea behind an AutoComplete textfield is to aid users by showing useful possibilites during the filling of the field. Imagine you are at amazon.com looking for a product "foo" and you fill it into the search bar just to find out that it doesnt exist after submitting it - with an AutoComplete aware field you would already have known that after some letters. To have an easy example we now will look at a single field where you can enter the names of countries like "England", "Germany" or "Austria".
The HTML behind it is rather easy (the necessary JavaScript is automatically provided by wicket; similar to what pure JS libs like prototype do; you could of course provide your own implementation, even if this would not really make sense):
<pre><nowiki>
... header containing CSS + HTML-head left out...
The textfield below will autocomplete country names. It utilizes AutoCompleteTextField in wicket-extensions.<br/><br/>
<form wicket:id="form">
Country: <input type="text" wicket:id="ac" size="50"/>
</form>
...footer left out...
</nowiki></pre>
So we currently only got a simple form holding a plain <input />. The "wicket:id" is only for tying it to the Java code and has no impact on AJAX (in fact in production mode it will be stripped out).
The Java is also not too complicated:
<syntaxhighlight lang="java">
public class AutoCompletePage extends BasePage
{
/**
* Constructor of the AutoCompletePage
*/
public AutoCompletePage()
{
Form form = new Form("form");
add(form);
final AutoCompleteTextField field = new AutoCompleteTextField("ac", new Model(""))
{
protected Iterator getChoices(String input)
{
if (Strings.isEmpty(input))
{
return Collections.EMPTY_LIST.iterator();
}
List choices = new ArrayList(10);
Locale[] locales = Locale.getAvailableLocales();
for (int i = 0; i < locales.length; i++)
{
final Locale locale = locales[i];
final String country = locale.getDisplayCountry();
if (country.toUpperCase().startsWith(input.toUpperCase()))
{
choices.add(country);
if (choices.size() == 10)
{
break;
}
}
}
return choices.iterator();
}
};
form.add(field);
...more Java here, but not needed for this simple example case...
}
}
</syntaxhighlight>
So we see here a plain page that gets a Form attached. That Form on the other side holds an ''Ajaxified'' version of a TextField. The ''protected Iterator getChoices(String input)'' is called after hitting a key (entering some value into the field by using your keyboard) by an AJAX call (we see this later) - meaning this function is the representation of the business logic for the AJAX. Here we only check if we already have sth. entered (user may delete sth.) and if it is, then if there are countries existing that start with the already entered letters (e.g.: if you enter ''Aus'' it will find coutries like Austria and Australia).
The resulting WebPage will be this:
<syntaxhighlight lang="html4strict">
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--/*--><![CDATA[/*><!--*/
var clientTimeVariable = new Date().getTime();
/*-->]]>*/</script>
...title + css stripped out...

/*-->]]>*/</script>
</head>
<body>
...head stripped out...
The textfield below will autocomplete country names. It utilizes AutoCompleteTextField in wicket-extensions.<br/><br/>

So we now got our html decorated with a bunch of JS resources (holding the DOM parser, transformer and so on) as well as a JS behaviour to our <input> field using the ''onchange="..."'' JS method.
If you now start entering some chars like "au" into the field, the onchange event is triggered and will call the wicketSubmitFormById() method issueing a call to the server and receiving XML:
<pre><nowiki>
1 INFO: focus set on i4
2 INFO:
3 INFO: Initiating Ajax GET request on ?wicket:interface=:1:form:ac::IActivePageBehaviorListener:1:&wicket:ignoreIfNotActive=true&q=au&random=0.9530900388300743
4 INFO: Invoking pre-call handler(s)...
5 INFO: Received ajax response (85 characters)
6 INFO:
<ul><li textvalue="Austria">Austria</li><li textvalue="Australia">Australia</li></ul>
7 INFO:
</nowiki></pre>
In line 1 the focus on the field (here with uid i4) was set. After we entered "au" into the field in line 3 an AJAX request to the server is issued. Line 4+5 illustrate the pre-call handlers and the receiving of the AJAX response. Line 6 displays the already decoded content of the response, holding a <nowiki><ul></nowiki> with the 2 expected countries that are starting with "au" and that are now placed by the JS header libs at the appropriate place on the page.
You now have seen a small, simple example in the big world of AJAX. To really understand it you should [http://wicketstuff.org/wicket13/ajax/autocomplete watch and use it live] (dont forget to hit the "wicket AJAX debug" link on the right lower corner, so you can see the communication). Under http://wicketstuff.org/wicket13/ajax/ you'll find plenty more running examples all with code.

White develops their knights to their most active squares. White usually intends to put their knight on c3 eventually: by playing it, now White waits to open the centre with d4 until they have more information about how Black intends to play. This move suggest the possibility of not playing d4, and instead playing a closed position.
[[/3...e5|'''3...e5''']] is the main move. This capitalises on White's hesitation and prevents White from getting to play d4 after all. 4. Bc4 is the main continuation, as now Black's cannot play ...e6 to limit the bishop, and the position resembles an Italian game where Black has somehow gotten in c5.
Otherwise, Black may keep things in more familiar Sicilian territory with [[/3...g6|'''3...g6''']], [[/3...d6|'''3...d6''']], or [[/3...e6|'''3...e6''']], where White can then choose between 4. Bb5 or 4. d4, transposing to a main line open Sicilian.

{{center|<big><big><big>'''Windows Mail'''</big></big></big>}}
</br>
This category will teach you how to use E-Mail with Windows Mail. An e-mail is a data file that must contain at least one E-Mail Address (i.e contactjohn@yoingco.com), a Subject (i.e Photos Attached) and a Message (in the form of a small note or a letter). An e-mail can also contain one or more Files (i.e Photographs and Documents) which are known as Attachments, but do not worry too much about this as e-mail Attachments, Sending, Receiving, Forwarding and so on will be explained in later sections. If you are not keen on learning about the technicals of E-Mail Servers I would suggest you read the next paragraph only before skipping to Getting Started below.
Windows Mail is the E-Mail Client that comes with Windows Vista. It has two main jobs to do - Send e-mail to your E-Mail Server and retrieve e-mail from your E-Mail Server. An e-mail server is like any other server. It is a master computer (normally your ISP's computer) that serves your e-mail needs. Basically. Windows Mail is the client (customer) server (program) that communicates with your e-mail (host's/ISP's) server. Together they relay your incoming and outgoing e-mail between computers (servers). Below is a diagram that shows how Windows Mail is used with an e-mail (ISP's) server.
[[image:Windowsmailstructure.png|center]]
The above diagram (top-left) shows that you should start Windows Mail, Write (compose) an e-mail and then instruct windows mail to SEND that e-mail to your ISP's computer. Windows Mail communicates with your ISP's computer and gives it your e-mail account details along with the e-mail itself. Your ISP's computer, which monitors all extended Internet connections coming from Internet Explorer as well as from Windows Mail and so on, then has to verify/authorize the received e-mail account's username & password and check the email for malware (viruses and so on) before it can then forward your email to the recipients ISP's computer. An example of setting up an e-mail account is given below.
Assuming the verification/authorization all went well, when the recipient's ISP computer receives the email it goes through a similar verification/authorization process before putting the e-mail into the recipient's INBOX. So at this point, assuming all went well, your e-mail is now on your recipient's ISP computer waiting to be downloaded (received) by them. When your recipient wants to receive their e-mail they have to launch Windows Mail first, on their computer (shown above in blue, Recipient Starts Their Windows Mail), and then tell windows mail to RECEIVE ALL e-mail. What happens next is that their ISP's computer receives the RECEIVE ALL E-MAIL request from windows mail, verifies/authorizes the request (by checking their e-mail account details) and then sends (downloads) them their e-mails if all went well with the verification/authorization process. When they have received all of their e-mails they should have the e-mail you sent amongst them.
=== GETTING STARTED ===
Before launching windows mail make sure you have the Main Internet Connection, as described in The Internet section, open. Windows mail expects the main Internet connection to be open so that it can use an Extended Internet Connection (also explained in The Internet section) to communicate directly with your ISP's computer. Therefore, there is no need to have Internet Explorer open - Internet Explorer, which uses its own extended Internet connection to download/upload files and web pages, has nothing to do with windows mail whatsoever. Failing to have the main Internet connection open before launching windows mail might result in errors and/or the Dial-Up requester appearing.
To launch windows mail either click on its Quick Launch icon (Fig 1.0) or double click on its Desktop icon (Fig 1.1). If there are no windows mail icons in these places launch windows mail from the START menu - Click on the START button, then on ALL PROGRAMS and then on Windows Mail

{{center|<b>The Desktop icon </b>}}
</br>
[[image:windowsmailtostartmenu1.png|center]]
{{center|<b>The START >> ALL PROGRAMS menu-item </b>}}
</br>
As soon as you launch windows mail the first window you will see is its copyright message window (Fig 1.3). A few seconds later the main window will appear.
[[image:windowsmailloading.png|center]]
{{center|<b>The copyright message window</b>}}
</br>
[[image:windowsmailmainwindow.png|center]]
{{center|<b>The main window </b>}}
If you have more than one e-mail client installed on your computer, such as Windows Mail and Microsoft Outlook, and windows mail is not the default (normal) e-mail client to use the following message requester will appear when you start windows mail. To make windows mail the default e-mail client, and to stop the message requester from appearing again, click on the YES button. Clicking on the NO button will allow you to use windows mail but next time around the message requester will appear again.
[[image:windowsmaildialougebox.png|center]]
{{center|<br>Click on YES to make Windows Mail the default (always used) e-mail client}}
=== SET UP AN E-MAIL ACCOUNT ===
Before you can send and/or receive e-mail you must first have an E-Mail Address & Password. You normally get an e-mail address & password when you sign up with your ISP (Internet Service Provider). For example. When I signed up with BT OpenWorld they gave me one e-mail address - yoingco@btinternet.com - and asked me to provide a password for it. I also have the e-mail address contactjohn@yoingco.com, with a password, from when I signed up for this website. I could also get a free e-mail address & password from the Internet, from Hotmail or Yahoo for example. However. Companies that give a free e-mail address & password, such as Hotmail and Yahoo, normally want you to manage your e-mail using their website only. To manage your e-mail using windows mail normally means you have to have a paid-for e-mail address & password, such as an ISP's e-mail address & password or a website owner's e-mail address & password.
At this stage you might be wondering "Why use Windows Mail? If I have an e-mail address & password I can check my e-mail from my ISP's website". And this is true, but the whole point of windows mail is that it does not rely on Internet explorer and so does not inherit Internet explorer's problems (slow speed, pictures not showing correctly and so on). Windows Mail for example is faster at sending/receiving e-mail, it allows you to manage more than one e-mail address & password, it is not bound to 250Mb of storage space (because it uses your hard drive space instead), it allows you to import/export e-mails and e-mail addresses and is generally better (feature-wise) than an ISP's website based e-mail client.
In order to use windows mail you must first set up an E-Mail Account for each e-mail address & password you want managing. So assuming you have an e-mail address & password already click on the TOOLS menu of windows mail, so that its menu-items appear, and then select the ACCOUNTS menu-item (Fig 2.0). The Internet Accounts window will then appear

'''Telecentre (noun):''' A Telecentre is a public place where people can access computers, the Internet, and other digital technologies that enable them to gather information, create, learn, and communicate with others while they develop essential digital skills. While each Telecentre is different, their common focus is on the use of digital technologies to support community, economic, educational, and social development—reducing isolation, bridging the digital divide, promoting health issues, creating economic opportunities, and reaching out to youth for example.
Telecentres exist in almost every country, although they sometimes go by a different name: public Internet access center (PIAP), village knowledge center, Infocenter, community technology center (CTC), community multimedia center (CMC), multipurpose community Telecentre (MCT), Common/Citizen Service Centre (CSC), school-based Telecentre, etc.<ref>Wikipedia definition of a “Telecentre”

==Communication Strategies and Practices for a Telecentre Network==
{{center|1=<big><big>'''''Paula Carrión (InfoDesarrollo, Ecuador)'''''</big></big> <ref>InfoDesarrollo is an Ecuadorian portal that represents a good example of how external communication can be implemented within a network. It receives more than 16,000 visits per months and promotes the use of ICT in Ecuador along with other members of the Infodesarrollo network. The website is [http://www.infodesarrollo.ec www.infodesarrollo.ec].</ref>}}
Effective communication is critical to the success of telecentre networks. Without it, people who are not directly involved with network activities will never know about what’s going on, the impact activities that are having, or the value of the network itself. Communication also contributes to network growth, that is, to expand its constituency, nurture existing relationships, attract new partners and open up opportunities for new resources needed to support telecentres.
For the most part, network communications aim to achieve three things:
* '''Relationship building''' – generating participation instead of audiences by building bridges to people and organizations, and then nurturing and deepening such relationships on a regular basis.
* '''Publicrelations and awareness'''– raising or managing a positive profile of the network, its members, and important issues such as affordable connectivity for telecentres.
* '''Marketing and influence''' – promoting specific products, services and influencing behaviour change (attracting NGOs to use telecentres in their communities, for example).
In this chapter, we discuss how to create and put in place a communication strategy that can be useful for a telecentre network. It is important to distinguish between ‘internal communications’ (among telecentres within the network) and ‘external communications’ (for stakeholders and other audiences outside the network). We will also touch on the role of TCNs in strengthening communications capacities of individual telecentre members.
=== Creating a network communications strategy ===
In its simplest expression, we may consider that a telecentre network’s communication strategy has two broad dimensions: internal and external.The internal communication strategy serves to facilitate <u>relationship building</u>, <u>nurturing trust</u>, <u>participation</u> and <u>conflict management</u> within the ‘nodes’ or network constituency. Good internal communication practices enable creation and sharing of relevant information and knowledge products as well as useful relationships. Internal network communications may also include supporting the communication needs of individual member telecentres as they reach out to respective communities. This internal aspect of communications constitutes the ‘nervous system’ of telecentre networks.
The external communications dimension deals with people and organizations outside the telecentre network. These include government, civil society, professional groups (such as educators), the private sector, and the general public. Adequate external communications create awareness about telecentre issues (including problems and possible solutions) and the impact of telecentres for national development. This awareness creates confidence among target groups in their work and relations with telecentre networks, which in turn is a key element in building and nurturing partnerships.
Successful network communications will benefit from a well thought-out strategy that has clear goals, objectives, target groups and expected outcomes that can be tracked over the time. The strategy may use specific network activities from which to draw messages to identified target groups, such as bandwidth sharing by a number of telecentres in the country to illustrate the challenges of connectivity and how networking might help.
====Elements of an effective network communications strategy ====
A good network communication strategy needs:
* Defined '''goals and objectives''' – with specific reference to timeframe and desired outcomes
* Identified target '''audiences''' – to tailor the tone and format of communication activities to the preferences of each audience. Networks may need to engage in some form of intelligence-building exercise to learn more about their target audiences in order to better understand them; that is, what information they may need and are most receptive to, and how they prefer to receive their information (such as text-based or face-to-face)
* Appropriate '''tools''' and tactics – that help network reach their audiences more effectively, at a reasonable cost and with high returns. Tools may include news releases, pamphlets, brochures, electronic bulletins, newsletters, CDs, videos, radio advertising, and so on. Tactics are the venues used to disseminate the network’s messages and products such as activities and events.
A simplified communication strategy template is shown in the following text box with related questions.
<div style="background-color:#E0FFFF; color:#0000FF; border: solid 1px #00a5ff; padding: 1em;">
{{center|1='''Box 4.1 Communication Strategy Template'''}}
'''CONTEXT:''' What is the political/social/cultural/economic environment that could influence your initiative?
'''STRATEGIC CONSIDERATION:''' What trends, potential strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats are inherent in your initiative?
'''OBJECTIVES:''' What you are trying to achieve?
'''TARGET AUDIENCES:''' Whom do you need to reach to achieve your objectives?
'''MESSAGES:''' What messages must you deliver to your target audiences to achieve your objectives?
'''TOOLS AND TACTICS:''' What approaches you will take to deliver your messages to your target audiences to achieve your objectives. Include a budget
'''MONITORING/ EVALUATION:''' How is your strategy working? How did your strategy work?

Generally, for network communication activities to be successful, they must deliver their message in such a way that the intended audience (i) wants to hear it (ii) needs to hear it, and (iii) expects to receive the message.
The first step towards building a network communications strategy involves a clear understanding of the purposes of the network (and thus imagining what success looks like), as well as the identification of the people and organizations the network would like to influence in order to be successful. This may have already occurred in the early stages of network creation, or perhaps it can take place through a necessary review via some kind of participatory network analysis process involving network members and partners. It is preferably done though a <u>face-to-fac</u>e process, complemented by online communication using discussion lists or free web conferencing tools like Dimdim.<ref>Dimdim is a free and simple web conferencing tool. It enables long-distance conferencing (using voice), and also enables people from all over the world to show what’s one their desktop, such as pictures, presentations, PDFs, general screen shots and videos. Dimdim also has a whiteboard feature that makes it easy to work online. This is a good alternative for online meetings and working face-to-face. The website is [http://www.dimdim.com www.dimdim.com].</ref> This preparatory work should define the goal, audience and appropriate tools and tactics needed to achieve communication-based outcomes. Including an evaluation component allows for fine-tuning as the strategy rolls out, also helping to improve future communications efforts.
Participation in shaping the strategy by the member telecentres will help build support for – and commitment to – the strategy. It will also improve the members’ capacity to manage individual communications activities, which is an added benefit to the network in the long run.
The following set of questions might be helpful to assess communications-related aspects of the telecentre networks. It is important to elicit responses and comments that are as concrete as possible:
* Who are the telecentre network’s members and external stakeholders and where are they located?
* What does the network need to communicate?
* What means of communication are used among members and towards external actors?
* Are these means constraining or fostering the exchange of information and contact among the parties in any way?
* What are the perceived strengths and weaknesses of the network in terms of communications?
* What and where are the main ‘information plugs’ in the telecentre networks? How can they be removed or avoided?
It is important to use the information obtained from the above questions (in addition to any other pertinent ones) to determine the network’s communications objectives, specific communications activities and expected results. It is important to determine some <u>simple indicators</u> to track attainment of the objectives – the simpler they are the more likely telecentre network managers will use them. The following items refer to the key elements in the operational (or logic) framework, as seen in table a logic touch upon objectives, activities and results, as well as the way to track the strategy’s progress.
I think this section deserves a new title here, or at least a sentence or two describing what is about to be explained: OK, I introduced a bit of a bridge (it does follow from the paragraph, but it´s not that clear).
'''Objectives''' – Communication is a tool, not a goal in itself. Communications objectives have to be realistic and achievable – there is no point in trying to convert a telecentre network into the telecentre equivalent of the American national news network CNN. Some examples of key communication objectives are:
* To improve communication flow with the network.
* To keep the member telecentres informed about the telecentre network activities and progress.
* To enhance interaction between local communities and their telecentres.
'''Activities''' – These activities allow the network to accomplish its communication objectives. In designing the activities, it is useful to determine (i) '''what''' (to identify the activity itself: it can help to draw an informative chart, or start a blog, etc.); (ii) '''who''' (to identify the person or team that will execute the activity); (iii) '''when''' (to come up with a timetable for the implementation of the activity). It is also important to identify the appropriate tools required to conduct the activity, including face-to-face events (like meetings, workshops, visits), documentation (newsletters, publications, web content) and online communication (emails, discussion lists, blogs)
'''Expected results''' – These are specific intended outcomes when activities are executed according to plan. Expected results should be achievable, measurable and traceable, for example, recognizing the frequency of a newsletter and not just its establishment. Measuring the progression of results instead of quantifying an indicator at the end of a given period makes monitoring feasible and useful.
'''Monitoring''' – An effective communications strategy requires regular updating. For this, telecentre networks need to track expected results against objectives and can ask questions such as:
* Were the intended people reached? What about other (unintended) actors?
* Did target audiences understand the messages?
* What steps can be taken to improve the outcomes?
* How can the overall communication strategy be implemented more effectively?

Even the best communications strategy will lack value if the members of the network do not share its key elements, or if they lack awareness of those elements. Holding special team meetings among a small group of people who are responsible for the execution of the strategy will help to see that it is successfully carried out. It is also recommendable that the strategy is presented and discussed as part of the agenda of a telecentre network’s specific events that involve larger groups, particularly during its preparation, and soon after implementation. The good news is that making the strategy well known will require some of the same communications tactics!
It is important to share the idea that the entire telecentre network is responsible for its communications agenda, and not just that of a few network members, or the staff of a coordinating unit. While leadership of a few individuals will have a significant effect on the attainment of communication objectives, having most people in the network connected and feeding information into it is a more likely guarantee that the network will stay well informed. In this regard, individual telecentres should view themselves as both '''antennae''' and '''broadcasters'''.
A communications strategy that yields results (which is what any network member is interested in, and not simply ‘chatter’) goes through stages in a cycle, like the one in figure 4.1. Some of the stages in the cycle are also present during a single communication action (such as producing a news bulletin, or organizing a symposium). It is important to recognize the stages, as they will require different tasks and treatment. For example, <u>sharing information</u> can be a unilateral action, occurring quickly and using a computer. On the other hand, <u>negotiation</u> can turn out to be a painfully slow process, requiring the participation of various actors, and using a table, tea and biscuits as the main tools.

==== External Communications====
While external communication is usually included within the overall communications strategy of a network, it is often done implicitly. External communications may seem more detached from the day-to-day life of a telecentre network, and allows less control over its implementation (where most of the actors are by definition based outside the network). They are directed to very different types of recipients: sponsors, partners, local officials, state representatives, community members and academics, and possibly other telecentre networks too.
The tasks related to providing information to these actors and prompting their involvement are carried out differently than for internal communications. The means used can vary from actor to actor, as well as the language used. After all, the audience for external communications is generally heterogeneous, while for internal communications it is often more homogenous.
That is why the main challenge in external communications is to identify the best means to communicate to each actor. The way to communicate a message to a sponsor, in most cases, will not work with a community leader or with telecentre users. For example, a local leader may prefer oral communication to written communication – let’s remember than even today, at the start of the 21st century, some cultures are based on orality. A development agency or a newspaper will prefer written information because they can process it and save it. At the same time, establishing a relationship with a media outlet is also valuable, and that requires oral communications (phone calls, in-person visits, and so on). Thus, in our information society context, the communications strategy should be able to include a flexible repertoire of instruments: analogue and digital, written and spoken, visual and text.
There is a wide range of communication tools available, many of which are free, to spread one’s message. For example, a distribution list such as a Dgroup<ref>Dgroups is another online platform that helps people meet, share information and collaborate in the international development community. It serves as a kind of GoogleGroups or YahooGroups, but specialized for development issues. Dgroups provides features such as mailing lists, a document library and calendar. The website can be found at [http://dgroups.org dgroups.org].</ref> can be easily created which facilitates ongoing dialogue among stakeholders; including beneficiaries, sponsors, partners and the community. Not only do distribution lists bring multiple voices to the network, but they also help telecentre network members to provide feedback to the network. On the other hand, a periodic (weekly or monthly) e-bulletin is an efficient means to inform external parties about TCN activities, needs and outcomes. For real-time information dissemination, an RSS (real simple syndication) or Atom newsfeed may be a good idea.
In addition, other web 2.0 tools such as blogs, Twitter, social network tools (such as MySpace, Orkut, Facebook, and ning) allow for a multimedia mix of information to be offered, including pictures and video clips. This provides enormous opportunities. For example, wouldn’t a partner/funder like to see short clips on how its supported telecentre network is working with local teachers to enrich their classrooms with fresh, new content? How valuable is it for a local television station to access content about teenagers from conflictive parts of town who are stimulated to ‘create’ (e.g. videos with their stories, websites, etc.) rather than ‘destroy’?
Choosing a language for communication is very important. When communicating with a sponsor, it is generally a good idea to use more formal language and articulate the results and processes advanced through the telecentre network. When communicating with local partners, on the other hand, it can be useful to adapt a style more closely based on how they communicate.
Candidly sharing lessons learned with sponsors is a way to generate trust with that sponsor, such as why an activity failed, and how learning from that failure will help the network grow. It will also help to sustain a longer-term relationship, as sponsors (particularly development agencies) are aware that all projects find difficulties. Sometimes the outstanding feature about a project is how it went about overcoming its difficulties.
Finally, one can take advantage of electronic and print media as key infomediaries to the outside community.<ref>An infomediary is an entity that functions as an intermediary of information (instead of goods or services).</ref> These institutions can help to deliver important messages, engaging new audiences and potential partners. Media organizations are constantly in search of interesting stories that affect human development. Telecentre networks are working with telecentres whose business is to improve people’s lives. TCNs can attract and maintain good contacts in the media using press releases, regular short stories, video clips, etc. about how telecentres are making a difference and providing useful solutions to public interest issues. Local media outlets want to access ‘human stories’, and pre-packaged news bits, with data, quotes, pictures, etc. It is also wise to have network spokespeople available and to provide these spokespeople with key messages to which they can refer should they be contacted by media.
====What about communications for member telecentres? ====
The communications strategies and practices of a telecentre network should also include ways of supporting member telecentres with their own communications needs. Ultimately, as in other aspects of the telecentre network, it is the work of the individual telecentres that determines its success or failure. Telecentre staff seldom has the expertise or time to put together a well thought-out communications plan.
This is one of the aspects where being part of a telecentre network may really pay off. Telecentre workers understand the needs of the local population and their cultural norms, and TCN staff can help workers to build capacity through the following:
* Devising and putting into action a community outreach plan, in effect ‘taking the telecentre outside its walls and into the streets’. This can include visits to schools, civic organizations, business centers, marketplaces, etc.
* Producing content (such as video clips) that can help telecentre staff to better connect with the community.
* Using ICT tools to help them communicate with their communities and stakeholders.
* Generating and extending the TCN ‘brand’ to the individual telecentres, for greater visibility and publicity (and by providing templates, key messages, logos and other materials to help facilitate this).
Telecentre network staff can also help directly organize and implement various communication-related activities, such as:
* Moderating discussion lists where telecentre staff share and debate about communications with their users.
* Generating content that can easily be adapted to local telecentre needs to contact and engage local citizens, such as poster templates, interview scripts, surveys, etc.
* Creating network-wide activities that promote local participation, such as contests, scholarships, or art displays.
=== Case study – the E3 Project in Sri Lanka <ref>This case study has been provided by Niranjan Meegammana, Shilpa Sayura Foundation Sri Lanka
</ref>===
The E3 project started in June 2008 to enhance the sustainability of 60 telecentres in Sri Lanka’s Uva province. It was prompted by a monitoring and evaluation process carried out by the national Information and Communications Technology Agency (ICTA), which found that the lack of communication was one of the key issues challenging the sustainability of the Uva Telecentre Network.
Part of the project [http://www.shilpasayura.org www.shilpasayura.org] involved the creation of a network communications platform developed by a national organization, the E–fusion Regional Impact Team (RIT), with tools used for training and content sharing, connecting key stakeholders as shown in the image found below (Figure 4.2). It also facilitated monitoring tasks for the network. The platform is depicted in the graph below.
<!-- ---------- Figure 4.2 ------------- -->
[[File:Figure 4.2 E3 Telecentre Network Communications Platform.png|thumb|400px|center|Figure 4.2 E3 Telecentre Network Communications Platform]]
<!-- ---------- Figure 4.2 ------------- -->
A significant challenge was to establish a communications platform where only slightly over half (52%) of the 60 telecentres had internet access. There were also different levels of language and ICT skills within the network.
'''''Methods'''''
The E–fusion Regional Impact Team assessed telecentre needs by conducting small workshops, telecentre visits, and questionnaires to help design the communications strategy. The network communication platform provided messaging services among RIT, telecentres, ICTA and service providers.
'''''Network communication strategies'''''
Transparency and open group communications helped to develop trust among members. The creation of a ‘network think-tank’ increased stakeholder involvement. Connecting members of the telecentre community with government and business helped to increase network reach. Telecentre operators were empowered to represent their centres which increasing local ownership. Periodic monitoring reports helped resolve network issues. All communications were carried out with authenticated identity. Forming a Telecentre Community Association created a front end to represent the network.
'''''Content, tools and channels'''''
Using online tools and e-content in ‘local language’ increased participation and reach. The communication media used were email, blogs, fora, discussion lists, ning social networks, telephone, Skype web-conferencing, chat and SMS messaging to communicate effectively within the network to share and transfer telecentre knowledge. Regular workshops helped to improve inter-telecentre communications, knowledge networking and resources sharing.
'''''Feedback'''''
Forums, surveys, activity photos, videos, blogging and comments captured feedback to improve the process.
'''''Outcomes'''''
Before the E3 project, each of the Uva telecentres were isolated, individual competing entities. The nine-month duration of the first phase of the project improved network communications to make telecentres truly emerge as a telecentre network. The E3 network communication strategy assisted in the effective delivery of telecentre support services, content, capacity building, advocacy, research and reporting. Advocacy actions motivated the emergence of a Telecentre Sustainability Network (TSN), receiving national and global ICT4D research attention for telecentre sustainability development.
'''''Lessons learned'''''
The diversity within Uva telecentres was a challenge for network communications to bring loosely bound individual telecentres into a network. Creating some <u>early benefits</u> helped, such as deploying an e-learning platform to set off joint activities among telecentres.
There were, however, some problems along the way. Some telecentres, even if individually successful, did not contribute enough to the network with their skills and resources. Lack of a gender perspective (as revealed through women’s reluctance to engage in network-wide activities) also affected network communications. Negotiation and awareness improved the situation, but some individuals’ positions did not move much over time.
Effective network communications require openness, use of local languages and effective tools. In a loosely bound network misunderstandings can always occur; hence network messages require careful consideration of content and channels of delivery. For example, if a message with information of general interest is not received by all telecentre, it can negatively affect the entire telecentre network. Therefore, making <u>feedback mechanisms available and having</u> processes for <u>corrective action</u> are a must.
<u>Postal mail</u>, even if not considered ‘modern’, can be an effective network messaging element to involve non-ICT literate stakeholders (and amazingly enough, some telecentre owners may fit in this category).
<u>Open communications</u> help to motivate <u>small players to play big roles</u> in the network and <u>informal communications</u>are useful in <u>assessing the effectiveness </u>of network programs.
=== Quick Tips about Communications Strategies and Practice in Telecentre Networks ===
====Internal Communications ====
* A healthy communication flow among the members is the energy that keeps a network active and feeds the solidarity and confidence required for the TCN to be successful.
* Nothing replaces face-to-face communication; plan for annual meetings.
* Make sure that the network objectives are well known, and at least generally accepted by the members.
* Use web 2.0 tools, which simplify making contributions and producing content.
* Foster confidence and trust between your users. You won’t openly share things if you do not trust the person you are working with.
* In order to create incentive for communication among network members, it is important to name one or two facilitators that can help you encourage participation.
* Promote discussion fora that will help to keep the network active.
* One of the best incentives is to help individual telecentres better communicate themselves: make this a central part of your communications strategy.
* In case you do not have the level of participation you were expecting, get help! Some individuals in the network may be able to assist you in motivating other members. And even better, revise stimuli to communicate for the members.
====External Communications ====
* Focus on your target audience and the main ideas you want to communicate.
* Try to personalize messages according to your audience and the goal you want to achieve.
* The message has to be concrete and clear; remember that ‘less is often more’ in public communications
* Your message structure always should have an introduction, message body and conclusion.
* Make sure that your audience has a way to contact the telecentre, and provide a formal, institutional email address (i.e. [mailto:star-telecentre@telecentre.org star-telecentre@telecentre.org]), a postal address, and a phone number. Most importantly, respond to those contacts timely (within 48 hours if possible).
* Create a blog for your telecentre network. It will make it easier to keep your partners and possible donors informed about the activities of the telecentres and their communities.
* In a visible place in the telecentre, prepare a poster with all the information regarding the telecentre, its rules, schedule, etc.
* Keep the community informed about telecentre activities and how it is accomplishing its goals. Also let the community know if you need some help.
* Quality over quantity: how you communicate is more important than how much you communicate.
* Think and communicate positively but credibly: in the case of failures (which are normal experiences and occur regularly) try to emphasize the lessons learned.
* Get the most out of the Web 2.0. Use social networks, blogs, tags, YouTube, web picture albums, etc. to let the world know about your TCN and its telecentres.

==Bringing it all together: Integrated network Management==
{{center|1='''<big><big>Manuel Acevedo Ruiz</big></big>'''}}
This final chapter attempts to do two things: it will integrate the topics we have explored separately to provide a coherent picture, and it will put forth additional guidance to expand the potential and impact of our telecentre networks.
=== How does it all come together? ===
In the previous chapters we explored the main issues that need to be paid attention to in order to make a telecentre network successful. While it may seem like a simplistic conclusion, the single most important message that emerges is that, '''in the end, networks are about sharing''', including knowledge, resources, vision, efforts, risks, failures… Sharing is mostly determined by attitude: it is a disposition more than an obligation. Thus, sharing (and by extension good telecentre network management) can best be <u>promoted</u>, hardly enforced.
This does not mean that we should simply resign to hoping that the people and organizations that make up a telecentre network will have a spontaneously positive, generous and productive attitude towards sharing. We wish it could be that easy… but that is not what one naturally starts with, even if a good general predisposition exists between those that come together in a network. This guidebook has been prepared because '''good intentions are not enough:''' the purpose is to provide useful knowledge about creating a fertile environment for sharing in our networks.
=== Threading a networked path ===
The challenge for telecentre network managers, and other people directly involved in network-wide operations, is how to '''deal with all the issues presented in the preceding chapters in parallel''': exercising a suitable governance style, taking measures to ensure financial sustainability, supporting telecentres to offer the right content and services, and so on, to occur simultaneously.
In fact, network management is not a linear path from A to B,<ref>Or A to M for that matter; we are not implying that the path is between two nearby points.</ref> since network structures are not linear. As we argue later on in this chapter, '''the most productive networks are three-dimensional'''. So making our way through the network involves going back and forth, and sideways, and up and down, and all combinations thereof. In other words, there is a destination (B) or more than one destination (B1, B2, etc.). The telecentre network manager<ref>And hopefully everyone else in the network too.</ref> knows where he/she wants the network to go. Perhaps it is towards increasing the number of telecentres involved while diversifying sources of funding. Or it might be to stabilize a newly formed network, or finding out how to satisfy the demand for content and services to all member telecentres.
Regardless of the ‘destination’, instead of moving one step at a time in a straight line, the movement appears more like a '''bouncing around within the network'''. If we were to draw a path, it might resemble squiggles drawn by a chile: many short lines with multiples directions and without apparent shape.
Sound confusing? Well, just think that '''you are probably functioning in that way right now'''. As a network manager, you deal with many nodes (mainly telecentres) and with a variety of issues that affect both their individual operations and the interactions among them. One day you may go to some of the nodes (telecentres, or other organizations) to provide them with services, or to different nodes to get content, and still others to implement a new project.
Tomorrow you may get the same nodes involved in different network actions, new nodes to perform those same actions or a mixed pack altogether. The point is that you are moving in a networked environment, threading your way around, while attempting to '''move the entire network in a specific direction''', that is, towards the network’s objectives.
=== An integrated view of telecentre network management ===
The point is that even though a telecentre network manager may bounce around a lot while doing his/her work, there is a certain and definite direction in which s/he wants to move the network, that is, '''toward its stated objectives'''. We can assume that network members will reach a consensus on those objectives, so that all are reasonably in agreement in terms of what they would like the network to achieve.
While the aims may be clear, the path may be much less so. The fundamental responsibility of the network manager (and management team) is to set out the path and steer the network through it, through good analysis, proper decisions, and a collaborative leadership style coherent with a network environment.
This bears some similarities to steering a large sailing ship. There are a variety of sails, each with a different purpose and effect. In addition, the load of the ship, attitude of its crew, quality of materials being carried, and atmospheric conditions, etc. will contribute to determining how the navigation goes and whether the ship gets to its destination according to plan.
This guidebook has explored a set of issues that will determine to a significant extent how the network advances, and whether it will arrive at the port as expected (its objective). The network manager, together with those responsible for its ‘piloting’, will activate and modulate tasks related to network governance, communications, financial sustainability, ICT policy, etc. in the most properly balanced way for smooth navigation. It has already been mentioned that each of these issues is important and that they need handling in parallel, but for the sake of clarity, we have examined them separately and in relative isolation. We will therefore now try to describe some of their relations and inter-dependencies.
Let us now consider each issue in terms of how it is affected or impacted by others:
* '''Network governance''': This is clearly one of the key determinants of how the network operates, with strong links to how its members interact (participation and communication), while setting the playing field for business models (sustainability) and taking in significant inputs from the monitoring, evaluation and learning functions.
* '''Financial sustainability:''' If this is not achieved (at least partially), the network may be short lived, but that doesn’t mean that it is strongly related to all internal network functions. The types and amount of content and services will strongly influence financial sustainability, as well as network governance (the ‘rules of the game’). In a healthy network environment, it will need a significant participatory attitude from its members (internally), while it can both contribute and benefit from international collaboration (externally).
* '''Participation:''' Participation is one of the key defining characteristics of a network (without it, is hard to speak of a real network). It is the main channel for content and services and the basis for a well-functioning monitoring, evaluation and learning framework. It is also essential that the network adequately represents its members on ICT policy issues or for collaboration with other networks. It is hard to think of one area upon which it doesn’t have a strong influence. It is therefore one of the most important processes to stimulate in order for good results.
* '''Communications:''' If participation is an embedded characteristic in all areas of the network, we could say that communication is the fuel (or the seed) that makes participation possible. And, like participation, it´s a sine-qua-non condition for a network – a set of non-communicating nodes does not make up a network. Communications, in turn, will be mainly enabled by adequate network governance, aside from the attitude of the participants and their cultural styles of course.
* '''Content and services:''' These can be seen, using developmental jargon, as the ‘immediate objectives’ of a telecentre network – or as Hasan writes in Chapter 6, they are the ‘heart’ of a telecentre network. Network governance generates content and services, possibly including various types. Even more importantly, content and services require participation from the members of the network. In turn, they will strongly determine financial sustainability of the TCN.
* '''Monitoring, evaluation and learning (M&E and Learning):''' This function aims at at improving other aspects of telecentre network management, allowing for modifications based on evidence. In other words, M&E and learning constitute the principal ‘navigational’ aid for the network to reach its objectives. It is a collective task and thus depends strongly on participation and communication. It is largely defined as part of network governance methods. While it will help to improve any aspect of TCN management, perhaps its most direct effect will be content and services (helping to understand what people think of them); and network governance (by introducing adjustments to the ‘navigation’ itself).
* '''International TCN collaboration:''' This is a natural extension of networking done internally in the country. The results of that collaboration will be applicable to various areas but without a strong impact on any of them (as an external action, that impact cannot be guaranteed). Content and services or the work on ICT policy are areas that could possibly benefit the most. As for the internal drivers to get a TCN proactively involved in international collaboration, they are mainly participation (at least by some of its members) and network governance (setting the conditions to facilitate such collaboration).
Let us pause for a minute to reflect upon these interactions. For example, <u>network governance</u> and <u>participation</u> emerge as the single most determinant aspects of network management, since they have a strong direct influence on practically all other functions. <u>Communication</u> is slightly less critical although still important since it fuels participation and sets the level of dynamism (or ‘temperature’) of the network.
<u>Content and services</u>, as the key ‘products’ of telecentre networks, require actions on essentially all fronts. Its most significant measurable effect will be financial sustainability – the intangible effects will be a more satisfied membership that can easily point to the benefits of being a part of the TCN.
<u>Financial sustainability and monitoring, evaluation & learning</u> have crosscutting effects, where the first powers actions while the latter facilitates change. On the other hand, the outward management aspect of is also cross-cutting with both short and longer-term effects (though more geared towards the middle-term effects).
These considerations can and will change as a consequence of many factors, such as the maturity of a telecentre network, its political context, degree of heterogeneity or simply its size. Let’s imagine a big, state-instituted TCN that is largely financed by the government in a country with essentially non-democratic institutions. Perhaps its role in ICT policy could the most salient aspect, but participation may be less of a driver for the network’s success (in the sense of a participatory approach derived from stimulated individual imitative and not rigidly set).
In any event, and whatever the shape or form of the telecentre network, <u>thinking about and driving the interactions</u> of these areas of work is useful for managing a network properly. A TCN manager can base key decisions on expected consequences from the direct/indirect effects of such interactions. It will be as if s/he and her officers are facing a control panel of a modern ship, and can operate the various handles, levers and switches to set the most appropriate course for navigation.
Let us explore these interactions a bit further in their network context.
=== Virtuous network effects ===
So far we have said that telecentre network managers have to skillfully navigate through their networks in order to stimulate or entice a whole set of actors (mainly telecentres) to '''share enough''' so that the network functions well and keeps members happy – and therefore, stay <u>inside the network</u>. In order to do so, networks need to juggle a set of priorities, as discussed in the previous seven chapters. Fortunately, these priorities are not isolated, and handling one well often has a positive effect on others. This section explores these interdependencies and their related effects.
Some of the overlap that you will have probably noted while reading through the previous chapters is inevitable. The reason is that the issues are '''inter-related''', sometimes strongly so. Let’s take a simple example of a sequence to illustrate, recognizing that there are many possible combinations. Financial sustainability depends on the content and services provided by the network. Those contents and services will be strongly dependent on the level of participation in the network. The participatory scheme will be determined to a large extent by how network governance is carried out. And the capacity and ability of network management will inevitably depend on the financial resources available to the network.
Let us now look at a wider set of interactions, expanding on the key interactions between facets of management described in the previous section. For illustrative purposes, an indication of these interactions is reflected in the matrix below. We focus on a standard telecentre network, without any dominating or special features. Each cell is at the intersection of two issues, indicating how dependent the first one (located in the rows) is on the second one (located in the columns). For example, the cell Financial Sustainability intersecting with Network Governance indicates to what extent financial sustainability depends on network governance. Three values for the interactions are shown: <u>highly</u> dependent (<span style="color: #FF0000">red</span>), <u>somewhat</u> dependent (<span style="color: #DA70D6">lavender</span>) and <u>not very</u> dependent (<span style="color: #4169E1">blue</span>).
A detailed consideration of each interaction between each intersecting issue is beyond the scope of this chapter. It is instead meant to provide a simple visual approximation to the relationship between the various issues. Nevertheless, some reflections emerging from the exercise are worth mentioning:
* There is a relatively high level of inter-dependency among the various issues (few of the cells are blue);
* The relationships are not necessarily symmetrical. For example, the content and services provided in a network are highly dependent on network governance. However, network governance depends little on existing content and services;
* The matrix serves to quickly identify how a satisfactory performance in one category can have a range of possible positive indirect effects (besides the effects deduced from direct interaction), that is, the '''virtuous network effects''' alluded to in the title of this section. For example:
** Communication depends strongly on participation;
** Participation strongly depends on the style of network governance; and,
** Network governance is strongly linked to monitoring, evaluation and learning.

So for example – and without taking the relationships too strictly or seriously…<ref>There are many jokes that exploit linking a chain of relations in a linear way. For example, about someone who likes the sea; a person who likes the sea will like walking on the seashore; someone who likes walking on the seashore likes to walk barefoot; someone who likes to walk barefoot probably has hippie-like friends; some one who has hippie-like friends will likely have listened to 60s US rock bands like the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Starship or the Jimi Hendrix Experience. But it would be quite a long shot to say that because you like the sea, you must be a Greatful Dead or Jimi Hendrix fan. :-D</ref> – we could say that doing a good job in monitoring, evaluation and learning will have an indirect but real effect on communication and participation because of its improvements on network governance. For instance, this would be in addition to the direct effects on communication and participation strategies that can be directly drawn from applying recommendations from M&E and learning actions.
The cumulative effect of direct and indirect effects can become rather substantial because of the high number of inter-dependencies. This elevates the rewards for performing well on each of the categories identified for network management. And it points to the level of virtuous network effects that could be linked.
The matrix exercise provides only a rough approximation, perhaps a good starting point, for a finer level of analysis. Its results will certainly differ from network to network. But it is a valuable management exercise, one that we recommend to you – if possible, together with several of your colleagues in the network. Appendix 10.1 contains a blank matrix for you to print out and analyze on your own – and compare it with the one we have discussed or with the ones prepared by your colleagues.

{{center|1='''''Box 9.1: What are the Seven Strategies for Building Successful Telecentres?'''''}}
Here, the reader can find a different approach to consider network effects, this time applied to individual telecentres. It was posted to the telecentre.org intranet by Azul, who is the Head of Telecentre Excellence at Warisan Global Sdn Bhd, in Malaysia.
The image below indicates the seven strategies Azul considers most important for successful telecentres. She reflects: “What I consider important may not be important to you and vice versa. The way we ‘chunk’ things may also be different. We have many ways of "cooking" a telecentre dish.”
[[File:Box 9.1 What are the Seven Strategies for Building Successful Telecentres.png|thumb|350px|center|Box 9.1: What are the Seven Strategies for Building Successful Telecentres?]]
And then she follows with a key message: “The Seven Strategies are connected with each other. <u>Interdependent</u>”. This interdependency relates directly to our argument in this chapter that the various aspects for managing telecentre networks are inter-related and that there are virtuous network effects that can be derived from a truly integrated approach to TCN management.

==Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning for Telecentre networks==
{{center|1=<big>'''<big>Kemly Camacho</big>'''</big>}}
This chapter presents some of the basic elements for conducting an evaluation process of telecentre networks. Evaluation is not a fixed recipe, but should be tailored to each case; that is, the same design cannot be applied to all telecentre networks. But there are certain guidelines that can be observed for specific types of evaluations, such as those for development projects, political campaigns or, in our case, telecentre networks. For this reason, in this chapter we focus on one particular case, with an explanation of the main steps to be followed.
It is essential for a given evaluation to set out its specific purpose, questions, categories, variables and indicators, as well as tailor its methodology. This implies tailoring the data gathering techniques, analysis and dissemination of the results to the purpose and object of the evaluation exercise. An evaluation is basically a type of research that aims to provide inputs for decision-making, and must therefore meet the same rigorous requirements as an investigative process.
=== Describing the Evaluation Process ===
Figure 8.1 outlines the evaluation process. The circles indicate the main threads, the arrows represent the flow between them, and the boxes show the main products of each process.
<!-- ------------- figure ---------------- -->
[[File:Figure 8.1 A Description of the Evaluation Process.jpg|thumb|400px|center|Figure 8.1 A Description of the Evaluation Process]]
<!-- ------------- figure ---------------- -->
Figure 8.1 represents an example of an approach to the evaluation process for a telecentre network. Some of the steps and questions can be applicable to the reader’s own telecentre networks. The intention is to provide a useful reference as a guide for the elaboration of other evaluative processes that are adaptable to the needs of the specific network.
It is important to note the indicators presented within the evaluative framework. Due to the influence that the logical framework has had in the evaluation processes and the design of development programs, it has been assumed that indicators are “objectively verifiable values”. Clearly, what we propose does not follow this traditional belief and bets on what is called “indicative indicators”. These can be described as a series of statements that the person who designs the evaluation creates from his/her knowledge on the subject, to determine how a variable in the evaluated program or project is being addressed. These indicative indicators do not seek a rating or a measurement, but rather an assessment. It is also recommended that they are created in collaboration with the people involved in the project, in this case, with the telecentre network.
==== Demarcation I: Defining the entity to be evaluated ====
First, it is necessary to determine the boundaries for an evaluation by defining the entity to be evaluated, and its major guiding questions. In this case, we could define the ‘object’ as follows: '''a development-oriented national telecentre network.'''
This implies two things: that the objective is to evaluate a telecentre network, and thus the process does not focus on assessing the functioning of a single telecentre but rather the operation of telecentres as a network, including their support organizations. Moreover, this is an evaluation <u>process</u>; that is, it is assumed that the network is functioning, or that it exists and is active at the time that the evaluation is being developed.
==== Demarcation II: Formulating evaluation questions ====
The questions asked help to set the boundaries of an evaluation. It is not possible to assess all areas of a given evaluation object. These questions help us to understand which aspects will be prioritized in the evaluation. An evaluation question is not just any question: it is analytical, investigative and cannot be only a descriptive one. An example of a main evaluation or research question could be formulated as:<ref>There would be other basic evaluation questions, such as those related to the support or benefits for the individual telecentres, etc.
</ref>
'''To what extent does the <u>networking</u> of telecentres improve the opportunities for the <u>digital inclusion</u> of people who have fewer opportunities to access information and communication technologies?'''
It is explicit in the question’s formulation that what we want to evaluate is the influence that networking is having on social transformations through digital inclusion processes.
When conducting an evaluation, various areas of analysis may be chosen depending on the case, and they may be linked from the evaluative question(s). Make sure that the questions are evaluative and not descriptive; that is, that they are analytic. To put it more simply, the questions cannot be answered with a quick answer such as ''“yes”'' or ''“no”''.
==== Design I: The evaluative framework ====
In order to carry out any monitoring or evaluation process, we must operationalize the key evaluation question(s). For this we create what is called the ‘<u>evaluative framework</u>’. This will serve as a guide to operationalize the question and to determine how to evaluate the social phenomenon. The evaluative framework depends on what will be assessed (object), the time frame covered for activities (starting, on process, recently completed, completed some time ago), the type of evaluation (that is, if it is done by someone of the same network or someone outside the network), if it is participatory or not, among others.
Following a rigorous evaluation process, once the object and main evaluation question is defined, the latter is broken down into secondary questions, categories of analysis, variables and indicators (if applicable). Once the evaluation framework is designed, the methodology needs to be defined, including the evaluation approach and the related tools and techniques with which this will be investigated. One such evaluative scheme is detailed below, with the steps are illustrated in the table below:

==== Design II: The line of intention ====
When designing an evaluative framework, as the one used as example in Box 8.1, we are making a series of assumptions based on the knowledge of what the evaluation object is supposed to do or achieve. This set of assumptions, once validated with the appropriate stakeholders, becomes the so-called ‘program theory’ or ‘line of intention of the program’. In this case, the program is a telecentre network, and some of the assumptions composing its line of intention can be stated as follows:
* Network implies a strengthening of each of its members through mutual aid, knowledge sharing and the development of joint projects;
* Networking increases and strengthens the amount of support that members of the network, and the network itself require;
* There is greater potential for impact on technology and digital inclusion policies, which positions telecentres as an option for people with fewer opportunities, because networking clarifies the role of these social actors;
* The telecentre network is aimed at meeting the demands and needs of a population with fewer possibilities of accessing development opportunities such as education, health, and income generation, among others;
* The population is indeed targeted and served by the network, and that the services offered are aimed to meet their needs, visions, demands; and in so doing it is adapted to the context of this;<ref>This will transform the resources of these populations to establish relationships with various actors at national and international levels, which involve finding new opportunities related to income generation and use of leisure time.
</ref>
* A true ICT integration in these populations will involve new communications processes, new information resources and therefore, new ways of developing one’s own knowledge.
All these aforementioned processes will result in a greater recognition of ICTs as tools of opportunity and that a telecentre network can have an impact that produces a transformation in this population. All these assumptions that make up the line of intention are subsequently monitored and evaluated to properly identify them. The line of intention is usually not previously elaborated. Thus, before initiating an evaluation process, it is advisable that this line of intention is elaborated in conjunction with the stakeholders. This will be the basis of the evaluation.
Figure 8.2 presents the line of intention in this telecentre network. It outlines the way in which the network is supposed to help transform reality. It allows clarification of what we are trying to do when creating a telecentre network. As the reader can see, it is directly linked to the evaluative framework presented in Box 8.1 above.
<!-- ---- figure ----------- -->
[[File:Figure 8.2 Line of Intention or Program Theory of the Telecentre Network.JPG|thumb|600px|center|Figure 8.2 Line of Intention or Program Theory of the Telecentre Network]]
<!-- ---- figure ----------- -->
==== Research ====
Once the evaluation purpose, framework and line of intention are defined, the fieldwork for the evaluation of the telecentre network can be started. This involves using the sources described in the evaluative framework (Box 8.1) to retrieve the information and data necessary to make the assessment. This includes developing the right tools and methods to approach these sources.
Surveys, interviews, life stories or observation are instruments that require the development of particular tools and methods. For the purposes of this paper, these instruments will not be described in detail here, but is important to note that they must be designed before starting to capture information. It is also important to point out that each variable has its own associated techniques and instruments for data and information collection.
==== Assessment – responding to questions ====
How the data will be analyzed must also be determined in advance, for which quantitative, qualitative or participative <ref>participatory actions are highly recommendable in the case of a telecentre network</ref> are necessary by integrating the involved stakeholders into discussions and analysis. The data analysis must respond to the indicators, variables, questions and categories previously designed.
It is important to think of evaluation as a research process that allows making an informed value judgment. As such, it is meant to provide guidance with the decision-making on, for example, (i) the correction or continuation of network activities, (ii) the most appropriate use of financial support, (iii) the integration of new support to the network (e.g. local government or private enterprise) or (iv) changing the direction/the organizational transformation of the network.
==== Reporting back ====
A very important phase of the evaluation process is the presentation of results. This must be adapted to the language, media and various populations that have participated. It is the duty of the evaluator to present the results to each of the populations who have been consulted. In the case of telecentre networks, it is therefore important to report back to telecentre users, supporting organizations, and public sector, aside from telecentre managers and staff.
==== Risks ====
If the process presented here is not properly followed, a number of common mistakes can be committed, such as:
* Using the evaluation to control and punish, instead of to learn and improve;
* Understanding the evaluation as a measurement, rather than an assessment;
* Considering the evaluation as a “creation of indicators”;
* Considering that to “evaluate” means to “apply a survey”;
* Considering that to “evaluate” means to “collect successful stories”.

==Content and services==
{{center|<big><big>'''Mahmud Hasan (Bangladesh Telecentre Network)''' </big></big>}}
If communications are the ‘nervous system’ of a telecentre network, as expressed in Chapter 4, we could say that content and services are at the heart of a telecentre. It is through content and services that a telecentre serves the development challenges of its community and therefore provide opportunities for improved livelihoods.
Telecentre networks have a unique advantage in developing content and services. Networks may use their collective power to attract content and services originally developed by other organization – and then modify them for their own purposes. Networks may also engage directly in content and services development. This chapter discusses attributes and types of adequate content and services for telecentres, and how a telecentre network can play a central role in their provision. Examples are provided along the way about TCNs engaging in this process, drawing on a case study that looks at the Bangladesh Telecentre Network and its content and services development plan.
Since 2006, telecentre.org has supported a number of networks around the world to develop content and services that telecentres can use. This support has been linked to overall sustainability of telecentre networks. This is because telecentre.org believes that good content and services best advance the value of telecentre networking and are therefore key to sustainability for the telecentres.
=== The role of telecentre networks in the provision of content and services for local communities ===
Creating or even adapting the proper content or service packages for a particular community is an expensive and time-consuming job; and it is even more difficult for individual telecentres to create content and services.
Moreover, providers of content and services activities may not want to work with just one telecentre and its relatively limited constituency. But the aggregate level of demand of a group of telecentre practitioners can make the relationship more attractive.
There is an increasing recognition that networks can leverage content and services development, including the creation, packaging, training and provision of support services. Those content and services activities can then be replicated and distributed at the local and international level (such as through other TCNs). Herein lies the power of a telecentre network.
A telecentre network can also provide a channel for validation and feedback for content and service providers. This is an invaluable opportunity for any provider.
Individual telecentres can contribute to content development from telecentre networks by gathering information and knowledge from their communities. This may cover farming processes, trading opportunities, traditional herbal medicine, or local cultural practices for example. Telecentres have become a key source of data about local communities by development agencies and research organizations.
One interesting experience comes from telecentre.org’s support of a number of networks and organizations to develop services through the competitive Rural Innovation Fund in India. These services included:
* A delivery model for Tara Akshar, a computer-based literacy program that teaches adult illiteracy in Hindi in 30 days. The service also developed a training system that integrates NGO and community based organizations as partners;
* Primary eye care through rural vision centres. The service was meant to increase access eye to care in rural India in order to reduce blindness;
* School management software to improve administration and teaching;
* An e-Commerce village web portal that provided communities with access to information, goods and services;
* A village disaster management system that records critical threats and available resources (such as personnel, equipment, support services) at village and national levels;
* An integrated rural milk procurement system that records milk collection to facilitate payments to farmers.
There are a growing number of telecentre network experiences with direct content and services development, although there is much potential that remains unexplored. Within the telecentre.org community, we can highlight the UgaBYTES initiative that a service called ‘MySchool’, which helps high school students in Uganda meet online to share educational resources and to ask teachers questions. The national network in Mozambique receives the collaboration of the Brazilian Telecentre Information and Business Association (ATN) to deliver online telecentre manager training. D.Net in Bangladesh provides another good references (see Box 3).

{{center|1=[http://www.jeeon.com.bd/thikana www.jeeon.com.bd/thikana]:}}
D.Net, one of the members of the Bangladesh Telecentre Network, started to generate a countrywide directory of service providers like agriculture tool vendors, hospitals, educational institutions, and law firms; where information listed included their address, products available, price range, availability etc. They created an information repository of 20 sectors from 26 districts. Total entries in the database number over 8,000.
D.Net used telecentres to collect this data by surveying local businesses. They trained telecentre staff and gave them a questionnaire in order to collect data. The telecentres thereby collected the data and send it to D.Net via email. Through this process, telecentres were able to earn additional income, while getting the opportunity to introduce a new service to the community. For D.Net, this process reduced the cost of their operation (also because they used the same telecentres to help them upgrade or further modify the data collected.

==== Attributes of Content and Services ====
The design and nature of content and services needs to be guided by the needs of telecentres, which in turn are determined by the needs – and perceived opportunities – of their communities. The particular mix of content and services useful for a telecentre depends on the community ecosystem, where the telecentre itself needs to become an important component of that ecosystem. The figure below describes the constituent parts of such a community ecosystem. Each of the bubbles represents people and organizations that have a concrete, staked interest. Telecentre managers and telecentre network staff need to ensure that everything provided by telecentres is focused on community needs and opportunities. This translates into a process where benefits reach a sufficient amount of ecosystem actors.
This leads to the questions, what attributes should characterize those content and services activities demanded by local communities and channelled through individual telecentres? We can point out at least four necessary attributes: content and services that are appropriate, relevant, dynamic and authentic.
Content and services may be determined as '''appropriate''' for a specific community or network based on any of the following potential benefits:
* <u>Reducing costs</u> by accessing different types of information and knowledge through easy and cheap communications;
* Creating <u>new income opportunities</u> for the community, by helping community members to gain new ICT or information skills, or to learn about new productive or business possibilities;
* <u>Reducing the risk</u> of possible loss or damage in a community, such as in disaster preparedness;
* <u>Empowering marginalized</u> communities and giving a ‘voice to the voiceless’.
<!-- ---------- Image ---------------- -->
[[File:Figure 6.1 Community Ecosystem for Telecentres.jpg|thumb|400px|center|Figure 6.1 Community Ecosystem for Telecentres.jpg]]
<!-- ---------- Image ---------------- -->
Benefits may not always be quantifiable but they need to be visible. For instance, a cheap communications service (like IP telephony via companies like Skype) can let a mother know that her daughter and grandchildren are doing well far away from home. We have identified a few brief stories of social changes to illustrate, which are presented in Appendix 6.1.
Because appropriate content and services are determined by user needs, they need to be '''dynamic'''. Telecentre networks have to be prepared to adapt or even abandon services as needs change over time. In the case of a service that provides content (information) to farmers about pest control and management, if new pesticides emerge on the market or if specific pests arrive in the scene, the service will have to update its content, since erroneous information may prove to be very costly to the farmers.
The '''relevance''' of content and services determines their level of demand by the community. Proper packaging and delivery contribute to their relevance. Selecting the right delivery channels is critical in developing content and services; it may be necessary to use a combination of offline, online, print, SMS-based, or face-to-face channels. A network should also consider the characteristics of its telecentre users, such as their literacy levels. For instance, telecentre networks that work with high illiteracy rates will deliver more voice and video enabled content than printed materials. Content translation is also essential. The role of a good infomediary is not only to provide physical access to information but also to facilitate ‘real’ accessibility: that is, to make their meaning accessible.
Another important attribute of content and services is '''authenticity'''. Because of the potential impact of particular content and services to people’s livelihoods, it imperative that networks seek validation to ensure that the information provided is accurate, complete and can lead to effective results, and that entities who are providing informational services are legal and honest. It is also useful if respected thematic experts and organizations validate content and service activities. In fact, this validation or quality control function may be one of the added value tasks performed by telecentre networks.
==== Types of Content and services ====
Community demands for information and services may vary widely from one community to the next. For example, local demand for livelihood information and services depends on types of professions in the community. Demand may prove higher in rural and remote areas, given their isolation and more restrained access to information. A telecentre network can get involved by providing a potentially wide range of content and services, which can relate to any of the following areas:
* '''Agriculture:''' Agriculture is the main occupation of people living in rural areas. Many people engaged with agriculture are illiterate or semi-literate. But they have inherited indigenous knowledge. Typical demands for content and services from farmers can include: where to buy quality seeds, insecticides, pesticides or fertilizer availability (particularly from government sources). They also want to know about power cuts, fuel prices and the visits of agriculture extension officers. Farmers are certainly interested about information on daily market prices for agricultural commodities, but also on tools to test the soil quality, storage facilities (particularly for perishable products) or information about crop rotation and selection.
* '''Health:''' Health and healthcare related issues are basic to a community’s well being, especially for rural women. The information demands on health issues are mainly on basic remedial issues related to diseases and health problems. Telemedicine services, including remote diagnostics and treatment follow-up are particularly valuable for rural people who can save precious time and money by not having to travel far away for some of those medical services.
* '''Law and human rights:''' Violation of human rights may be more prevalent in rural locations because people lack basic education on their rights, or information about their obligations. Local elites often take advantage of the functional illiteracy of the individuals within the community. For these purposes, databases of legal and human rights organizations, listings for the nearest administrative offices and information about citizen rights are valuable.
* '''Education:''' Students and teachers in rural communities often have little access to quality educational material. Youth in those areas may find it difficult to obtain higher education, so information about higher education opportunities, as well as procedures of getting admitted, is important for the rural community. Aging adult literacy is another major demand on the educational sector. Using audiovisual materials to promote adult literacy creates new opportunities for adult literacy as people can learn by watching and listening.
* '''Employment:''' People use several sources for job information. Personal, face-to-face contact is the most common source for employment information. In addition, telecentres facilitate access to job information via online services.
* '''Commerce, business including self-employment/non-farm economic activities:''' Telecentres can become popular places for business and commerce. Using a telecentre, people can find out information about their products (including market prices and additional information), input pricing and connections to global and national trading opportunities. Self-employment, especially rural micro and small enterprises capture the majority of rural occupations. Information about new business opportunities, business-related government information, business management, and online market places are major demands for this sector.
* '''Disaster preparedness and management:''' Disasters and natural calamities are an increasing occurrence across the globe. Access to disaster-related information can reduce the severity of its effects, such as by allowing people a timely evacuation before a probable disaster strikes.
* '''Government service:''' Telecentres can be a popular mechanism and a primary access point for all e-government services. This can make it easier to download official forms, submissions, certifications and so on, cutting out ‘middle men’ who sometimes demand unwarranted fees to perform services for citizens.
* '''Entertainment:''' Telecentres are good source of entertainment for rural communities. Satellite private televisions and radio broadcasted programs are usually not available in rural areas. Telecentres may therefore provide good venues for entertainment: cartoons for children, drama shows, movies, sports for adults or online radio stations, are good examples.
* '''News:''' In many remote villages, access to the newspaper is absent. Currently, most newspapers have an online version and there are hundreds of news blogs. A telecentre is a common access point for all to access to this media online.
A key service provide by telecentres is '''access to the internet''', used by relatively more highly educated and ICT-knowledgeable user groups for purposes as wide-ranging as (i) job searching, (ii) applying for foreign visas, (iii) learning materials, (iv) reading the newspaper (and writing to the editor), (v) writing and conferencing with relatives, (vi) exchanging business information, or (vii) simply playing games. Some users, mostly in urban areas, are more advanced; they may use ICT facilities for banking or e-commerce activities. Many telecentres also provide ICT training.

The ‘Telecentres of Business and Information’ program is different from other digital inclusion programs in that it is more socially oriented: it aims to provide spaces for conducting business activities. The program’s objective is to strengthen competitiveness, increase profitability and reduce the closure of micro and small businesses by providing access to information, products, services and training courses available on the internet and on the resources offered by ICTs. That is, '''literacy and digital inclusion were taken as a ‘means’ (as a stage of work), and not its purpose'''. The program started in 2000, and now in 2009 it is in its third program phase.
A Telecentre of Business and Information is a physical space within an existing institution that represents and develops actions directed towards micro and small businesses. Their infrastructure is built on the computational and human resources necessary for digital literacy and on the use of extensive resources of the internet. Each TBI has a manager, with some monitors and assistants, and about 10 computers connected in a local network and to the internet. Other equipment is also available, such as printers, scanners, a fax machine, telephone, or television. By the end of 2008, the TBI network included an impressive 3,500 units.
The key resource for providing business content is the TBI Portal that introduced ‘smart navigation’ for the classification and presentation of business information. The actions of the program’s Information Committee in organizing topics of interest for micro and small businesses, and the establishment of virtual communities were very important in terms of facilitating content provision.
The TBI Network now offers extension courses in Telecentre Management and Digital Entrepreneurship in the form of e-learning offered via a Moodle platform. The courses were developed specifically to train telecentre managers, for a total of 60 hours and with the support of specialist tutors. The content is available in five modules, with the intention to stimulate entrepreneurial potential and improve telecentre management practices. At the end of the course, students receive a certificate from the University of Brasilia. Since 2007, the course has trained more than 300 telecentre managers.
A management system of Telecentres of Business and Information has been set up for the TBI Network, to facilitate monitoring and evaluation. It is focused mainly on two functions: 1) to generate indicators for the TBI network and 2) to automate internal administrative activities of the telecentres. Even though it is still in development, the management system is already being used by 125 TBIs in the country.
Project TBI has benefited from the collaboration of an extensive set of partners, for a variety of purposes, including for: (i) internet connection, (ii) the donation of computers, furniture, printers, modems, fax, scanners or air conditioners, and (iii) for courses and training for professionals. Key partnerships were established with Caixa Econômica Federal and Banco do Brasil (two large banks) for the donation of computers; the <u>National Research Council</u> <ref>Which is similar in function to the National Science Foundation in the United States, or other similar national science and research bodies.</ref> for providing technical expertise for the project, and the <u>Brazilian Service of Support to Micro and Small Enterprises</u>, for the installation of telecentres and an ongoing discussion on methodologies and strategic planning.<ref>There were nearly 100 sponsoring and supporting organizations mentioned, most of them private companies, and a lesser number of universities and public (Brazilian) companies.</ref>
In 2007, the TBI program received a World Summit Award in the category digital inclusion (e-inclusion). This award is sponsored by UNIDO, UNESCO and the Internet Society.

=== Case study - Mapping content for telecentres by the Bangladesh Telecentre Network <ref>For more information, see the following web page:[http://www.mission2011.net.bd/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=76&Itemid=101&lang=en www.mission2011.net.bd/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=76&Itemid=101&lang=en]</ref>===
It is important for a telecentre network to invest in finding different sources of content and services and developing partnerships with various organizations to link them with telecentres. Recently, the Bangladesh Telecentre Network (BTN) has undertaken an initiative to map content and services for telecentres. The BTN found that individual telecentres do not know who has what. Instead, they struggle to find relevant sources of content and services.
The Bangladesh Telecentre Network put together a small team comprised of a number of members with experience in content and services development for telecentres. At the beginning, BTN called for a members meeting and shared the idea of '''content mapping'''. The members attending the meeting identified dynamic sectors where they had demand for content by the community. The sectors are:

After finalizing the list of sectors, the team discussed how the various ways in which to present these types of content. Before starting the content mapping process, the team identified the following types of format:

After developing a comprehensive matrix (See Appendix 6.3 for a detailed matrix template), the team developed a list of institutions with the potential to develop content in each of the sectors mentioned above.
The team later organized small sectoral meetings with organizations to brief them about the importance of content mapping and its benefit to the community. After the discussion, many organizations showed their willingness to support the initiative.
In the very first phase the Bangladesh Telecentre Network technical team helped the organizations to develop their content description and post it on the BTN website. Later, a small number of organizations started posting their information on their own.
As a result, BTN was able to develop a repository of 1,130 knowledge sources that are grouped under 13 categories. The outcomes were aggregated numerically as follows:

This example of content mapping can be replicated in other telecentre networks, yet it is also important to recognize the associated challenges. Among them are limitations drawing from copyrights of the institutions and authors, the capacity of organizations to post online and, most importantly, the level of <u>willingness to support a network</u>.
=== Quick tips about Content and services===
* Telecentre networks should regularly and systematically examine the needs of individual telecentres for content and services, in order to provide a collective expression of demand – known as a pull strategy.
* A telecentre network should deliberately promote content and services from different providers when it believes that they will be useful to some telecentres – a push strategy.
* Telecentre networks can help individual telecentres to assess the needs for content and services for their community – through methodology, advice, tools, etc.
* Community trust of content is important. Sometimes the organizations that are providing content are more important that the content itself. For example, medical content from an untrustworthy source may not be accepted by the community.
* Telecentres are now a key source of research data about local communities, and TCNs can help to channel that data in ways that benefit telecentres (for example, through data on connectivity in order to increase coverage).
* Government sources of information tend to be trusted. TCNs should try to bring more government institutions on board, for example, to provide e-government services.
* Telecentres by themselves often do not know where to access relevant content and services, so telecentre networks can be of great help to locate them. Rigorous content mapping is an important function of the network from an early stage.
* Various communication channels should be used to provide content and services: including offline, online, face-to-face, and print media.
* Some users may be illiterate, which should be taken into account (therefore more audio and video content is helpful).
* Some of the content and services may not be strictly developmental in nature, like in entertainment and news, but there will nevertheless be an audience for it.
* The increased versatility of mobile phones may add ‘mobility’ and higher personal access to the information.
* Telecentre networks will have an increasingly relevant function in providing exchange platforms for direct access or provision of content and services among users; that is, a kind of peer-to-peer marketplace for content and services.

The Jeeon- IKB (Information and Knowledge Base) is a content database that has been developed in Bangla and is aimed at improving livelihood through ICTs. This CD version has been made for use in locations that do not have internet connectivity. The Jeeon-IKB responds to everyday queries such as what, where, who, and how in the areas of agriculture, education, healthcare, non-farming economic activities, appropriate technologies, human rights, awareness and disaster management in simple non-technical language. The Jeeon-IKB is particularly suitable for rural users – even for those who are unable to read and write, with the assistance of 'infomediaries' (people who can use Jeeon-IKB to respond to queries). This also creates access to crucial information and thus reduces livelihood costs and improves income opportunities. The Jeeon-IKB is more effective when used with Teletathya: the people's telecentre (a mobile phone based information service), since whatever information is not available in the CD can be obtained by calling the specialists at the Teletathya Helpline.

The International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) Rice Knowledge Bank (RKB) is the central repository for all IRRI’s research-based rice science and rice farming knowledge that is relevant to the extension-farmer community. The IRRI RKB is also the model for similar RKBs in each partner country where the individual countries select, validate and modify rice-farming knowledge for their extension/farmer communities. The strength of the RKB community depends on developing a shared vision for the RKBs, a sharing of knowledge and exchanging information about technical issues. Now, different countries have their local language version of the knowledge base. For example, in Bangladesh, the Bangladesh Rice Research Institute has developed a comprehensive agriculture knowledge bank in Bangla, which is available at [http://knowledgebank-brri.org www.knowledgebank-brri.org].

Rather than using high-tech infrastructure and training, this model shows how villagers with their current skill set and their own devices can generate and broadcast information. In order to bridge the gap between their capability and the capability of their devices, a "bottom of the pyramid” (BoP) adaptation layer is introduced in the model. Villagers need ICTs to spread their voices. Indeed it can be argued that we need their voices as much as they do. Our step towards finding a way for villagers to develop, own and commoditize information is the One Village One Portal platform. The platform is capable of handling 85,000 portals for 85,000 villages in Bangladesh. However, we envision the OVOP as a prototype for other BoP villages around the world.

One promising field for telecentre services via the support of telecentre networks is in formal and vocational education. One successful example of a program of excellence in education instrumented largely through telecentres is the National Program of Informatics in Education, an initiative of the Ministry of Education in Brazil. The approach has been to incorporate telecentres within Brazilian schools with the objective of improving education, and with the added value of benefiting their communities beyond students and education professionals.

| '''A Farmer Saved his Crop using Information Services of Telecentre'''
Mr. Nurul Islam Khan produces rice along with beans, bitters and bottle gourds on his land. He is doing his best to make an honest living for his six-member family with an average monthly family income of USD $120. One day, he found that his cultivated beans, bitters and bottle gourds were attacked by harmful insects. He became worried and started consulting with his neighbours.
His neighbours advised him to consult with a local agricultural field officer regarded as ‘block supervisor’, a post of Agricultural Extension Department under the Ministry of Agriculture. They also informed him that if he fails to get hold of the desired officer, then he can pay a visit to local telecentre to receive effective agricultural information services through various ICT channels. The urgency to receive effective agricultural advice made him look for the local block supervisor first, but he failed to get hold of him. Then he sought informational help from telecentre. He paid a visit to the telecentre and he chose to use the verbal information service from the CD content.
Mr. Nurul Islam Khan applied the prescribed insecticides and dramatically got rid of his problems. Thus he saved his beans, bitters and bottle gourds and above all, his livelihood. According to his calculation, Mr. Nurul Islam Khan was able to prevent a total loss of USD $120 just by applying the received advice without paying any charge for the service offered by the Pallitathya Kendra. He thinks that information services provided by the Pallitathya Kendra can greatly save other farmers from potential losses.

| '''Alam gets job at a Bank'''
Alam, a 26-year old rural educated youth never even dreamt of getting a job at a local bank. The place where he stays is far from the main town, so it is hard for him to search for new employment opportunities. Fortunately, a local telecentre came forward to rescue him from this situation.
Alam knew about internet browsing from the infomediary at the local telecentre. Browsing the internet at a local telecentre, he found a job advertisement in a local bank. He applied for the position through email. He was shortlisted and later interviewed. The bank authority publishes results online. Alam, thanks to the local telecentre, could get the dreamed result online. Now Mr. Alam is working as a Customer Relations Officer at BRAC Bank Ltd., Khatungonj, at the Chittagong Branch.

| '''Phone call saved scores of Indian villagers from tsunami'''
The tsunami that struck the coastal communities of several Asian countries on 26 December 2004, was made even more tragic as news began to break of how a handful of technicians, monitoring the progress of the waves across the seas using the latest ICT systems, found themselves unable to warn communities standing in harm's way.
This was not the case with Vijayakumar Gunasekaran, a 27-year old son of a fisherman from Nallavadu village, Pondicherry, on the eastern coast of India, who works in Singapore. He had access to radio and television broadcasters on the morning of 26 December. Vijayakumar followed the news of the earthquake in Aceh, Indonesia as it unfolded over the radio and television in Singapore. As the seriousness of the disaster in Aceh sank in, he began to worry about the safety of his family living along the Indian coastline facing Aceh. He decided to phone home.
Muphazhaqi, his sister answered the phone. She told him that seawater was seeping into their home when he asked what was happening in Nallavadu. Vijayakumar realized at once that his worst fears were rapidly materializing. He asked his sister to quickly leave their home and to also warn other villagers to evacuate the village. "Run out and shout the warning to others" he urged his sister.
Her warning reached a couple of quick-thinking villagers who suddenly went to the telecentre where a public address system used routinely to announce sea conditions to the fishermen was housed. The warning from Vijayakumar, corroborated by a second overseas telephone call from Gopu, another villager working abroad, was broadcasted across the village using the telecentre’s loudspeaker. The village siren, which was available at the telecentre, was sounded immediately afterwards for the people to evacuate.
No one from the village was killed as a result of the timely warnings. Nallavadu is home to 500 families and about 3,630 people. While all lives were saved, the tsunami destroyed 150 houses and 200 fishing boats in the village.

| '''Khadija is back to her normal life with dignity'''
Khadija Begam was married to Alamin Akon (a 28 year-old man), both from Mongla. Her husband got married for a second time without informing her. Khadija could not tolerate it and protested. That caused her to be physically and mentally abused by her husband. She had no choice but to move to her parents’ house with her three-year-old daughter. She was helpless. Mr. Akon refused to pay any alimony to his wife.
She knew about a mobile infomediary, who was working in a community telecentre, and called her one day. The mobile infomediary Nayan helped her to talk to a lawyer from a local human rights organization whose address and details was available at the telecentre where Nayan was working. After investigating the problem and consulting with Khadija, the lawyer sent a legal notice to her husband. After receiving the legal notice from the court, her husband got scared and rushed to the Union Parishad Chairman for a petition to compromise. But the UP chairman didn’t respond to it, since the local telecentre routinely informs community citizens about their rights and obligations. The chairman told Ms. Khadija that if she withdraws the legal notice, he would take her back to his family. But Ms. Khadija was adamant and she wanted either a compensation of BDT 25,000 or a divorce between her husband and his second wife. She managed to find a job at a restaurant in Mongla to make an honest living with dignity. She found the telecentre to be as a good resort while in distress and relied on it later for other livelihood issues.

the degradation of Earth's surface through the accumulation of solid waste, harmful chemicals, and hazardous materials, primarily caused by{{TOC right}}
Sometimes human activities lower the quality or '''degrade''' the land by putting hazardous substance in the soil and water. A well-known example of this is the story of Love Canal in New York. The story began in the 1950s, when a local chemical company put dangerous chemicals in steel drum containers. They buried the containers in Love Canal, an abandoned waterway near Niagara Falls, New York (Figure 19.8). They then covered the containers with soil and sold the land to the local school system.
[[File:Fuel Barrels.JPG|500px|center|thumb|'''Figure 19.8''': Steel barrels like these were used to contain the hazardous chemicals at Love Canal. After several years, they began to leak the chemicals into the soil and groundwater, which caused many people to become sick.]]
[[File:Love Canal protest.jpg|frame|right|'''Figure 19.9''': A resident of Love Canal protests the hazardous waste contamination in her neighborhood.]]
The school system built a school on the land. The city of Niagara Falls also built more than 800 homes near Love Canal. Several years later, people who lived there began to notice bad chemical smells in their homes. Children developed burns after playing in the soil, and they were often sick. A woman living in the area, named Lois Gibbs, organized a group of citizens called the 'Love Canal Homeowners Association' to try to find out why their children kept getting sick (Figure 19.9). They discovered that their homes and school were sitting on top of the site where the dangerous chemicals had been buried. They believed that the old steel drums used to contain the dangerous chemicals were leaking and making them and their children sick. They demanded that the government take action to clean up the area and remove the chemicals.
By 1979, the United States government fully realized that the old drums were indeed leaking dangerous chemicals into the soil and water where the people lived and went to school. The government gave money to many of the people to move somewhere safer and began cleaning up the site. The work of Lois Gibbs was important in bringing the problem of hazardous chemical pollution to people's attention. After the Love Canal problem, the U. S. government created a law called the '''Superfund Act'''. This law requires companies to be responsible for hazardous chemicals that they put into the environment. It also requires them to pay the money needed to clean up polluted sites, which can often be hundreds of millions of dollars. As a result, companies today are more careful about how they deal with hazardous substances.
This lesson describes some of the sources of hazardous wastes throughout the world. It then discusses the effects these wastes have on human health and the environment. Finally, this lesson covers ways that we can control hazardous wastes.
==Lesson Objectives==
* Define hazardous waste and describe its sources.
* Describe some of the impacts of hazardous waste on human health and on the environment.
* Detail some ways that we can control hazardous wastes.
==What is Hazardous Waste?==
Hazardous waste is any waste material that is dangerous to human health or that degrades the environment. Hazardous waste materials include substances that are:
# Toxic: something that causes serious harm, death or is poisonous.
# Chemically active: something that causes dangerous or unwanted chemical reactions, like dangerous explosions.
# Corrosive: something that destroys other things by chemical reactions.
# Flammable: something that easily catches fire and may send dangerous smoke into the air.
Hazardous waste may be solid or liquid. It comes from many sources, and you may be surprised to learn that you probably have some sources of hazardous waste right in your own home. Several cleaning and gardening chemicals are hazardous if not used properly. These include chemicals like drain cleaners and '''pesticides''' that are toxic to humans and many other creatures. When we use, store, and dispose of them, we have to be careful. We have to protect our bodies from exposure to them and make sure they do not enter the environment (Figure 19.10). If they are thrown away or disposed of improperly, they become hazardous to the environment. Others sources of hazardous waste are shown in Table 19.2.
[[File:Hazardous-pesticide.jpg|500px|center|thumb|'''Figure 19.10''': This farm worker wears special clothes for protection from the hazardous pesticide in the container.]]

==Impacts of Hazardous Waste==
Many hazardous waste materials have serious impacts on human health. They often cause cancer and can also cause birth defects. They can make people sick for very long times. Breathing the air or drinking the water that is contaminated with hazardous waste is a major health threat.
Two chemicals that are especially toxic in the environment are lead and mercury. Lead harms people by damaging their brain and nervous system. Lead is especially harmful in children under the age of six; about 200 children die every year from lead poisoning. Lead was once a common ingredient in fuel and paint (Figure 19.11). In the 1970s and 1980s, the United States government passed laws completely banning lead in fuel and paint. This has prevented the lead poisoning of millions of children in the United States. However, several other countries still use fuel with lead in it. Also, homes built before the 1970s may contain paint that has lead in it. These still pose a threat to human health.
[[File:Tamoil station Pijnacker.jpg|500px|center|thumb|'''Figure 19.11''': In the United States, automotive fuel must now be unleaded, or free from lead.]]
[[File:Mercury fremont ice core.png|300px|thumb|'''Figure 19.12''': This graph shows historic increases of mercury in the atmosphere. Events in blue are volcanic eruptions. Events in brown, purple, and pink are human-caused. Notice the effect of industrialization on mercury levels in the atmosphere (the red region of the graph).]]
Mercury is a pollutant affecting the whole world (Figure 19.12). Mercury enters the environment from volcanic eruptions, burning coal and from waste products like old batteries and electronic switches. It is also found in old discarded electronic appliances like television sets. Like lead, mercury also damages the brain and impairs nervous system function. Mercury often accumulates in fish, so people and other animals that eat the fish then are in danger of getting the mercury in their own bodies.
==Preventing Hazardous Waste Pollution==
The United States is currently the world's largest producer of hazardous wastes. However, as China becomes more industrialized, it may take over the number one spot. Countries with more industry produce more hazardous waste than those with little industry. Hazardous wastes can enter the air when we burn things like batteries containing mercury or old tires. Hazardous waste can enter the water when chemicals are dumped on the ground, or are buried and then leak. Substances buried in the ground often leak from their containers after a number of years. The chemicals then move through the soil until they reach groundwater. Hazardous chemicals are especially dangerous once they reach our groundwater resources. Sites like the one at Love Canal are now referred to as '''Superfund sites'''. They are found throughout the country. Many of them have been identified and cleaned up. We now have strict laws to prevent new sites like the Love Canal site from ever forming in the first place.
In the United States, we have several laws that help control hazardous waste. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act requires any company that produces hazardous materials to keep careful track of what happens to it. The government has passed special rules for how these materials can be disposed of. Companies must ensure that hazardous waste is not allowed to enter the environment in dangerous amounts. They have to protect their workers from the hazards of the materials. They must keep a record of how they dispose of hazardous wastes, and show the government that they did so in a safe way.
Individual people can also do much to control hazardous wastes. We can choose to use materials that are not hazardous in the first place. We can make sure that we dispose of materials properly. We can control the amount of pesticides that we use. We can make sure to not pour toxic chemicals over the land, or down the drain or toilet, or even into the trashcan. We can also use hazardous materials less often. We can find safer alternatives for many of the chemicals we use. For example, we can use vinegar and water to clean windows instead of the usual glass-cleaning chemicals.
==Lesson Summary==
* Hazardous wastes are dangerous to human health and the environment. They come from many sources, such as household chemicals, gasoline, paints, old batteries, discarded appliances, and industrial chemicals.
* Once in the air or buried on land, they can cause human health problems or even death and degrade the environment for other organisms.
* Developed countries like the United States produce most of the world's hazardous waste.
* We have passed laws that require careful disposal of hazardous materials and that make their producers financially responsible for them if they pollute the environment.
==Review Questions==

==Human Uses of Water==
All forms of life need water to survive. As humans, we need water to drink or we need to get it from the foods we eat. We also use water for agriculture, industry, household uses, and recreation. Water is continually cycled and recycled through the environment.
Some ways that we use water consume a lot of water that then is lost to the ecosystem and some ways we use water put less demand on our water supplies. Understanding how water cycles and is replaced is important, especially when we look for ways to use less water.
Currently, agricultural uses the most water. Considering different methods of irrigation and times of day to water crops can improve this situation. Farming, growing crops and raising livestock uses more than two thirds of the water used by humans globally.
When water is used but not recycled, the water use is called consumptive. That water is lost to the ecosystem. When excess water is captured or recycled, it is called non-consumptive. As we move to a more sustainable future, we want to be sure as much of our water use is non-consumptive as possible.
What is the most important thing for all life on Earth? Not gold or diamonds. It is water! From the smallest bacteria to the largest trees, all forms of life on Earth depend on water for survival. As humans, we could not survive for more than a few days without drinking water or getting water from the foods we eat.
In addition to our basic survival need for water to drink, people also use freshwater for agriculture, industry and household needs. Across the world, different communities also use water for many kinds of recreational and environmental activities.
Which human activity uses the most water? Not showers, baths, washing dishes, or other household uses. On average, agriculture uses more than two thirds of the water that humans use across the world. Industry and household uses average 15% each. Recreational use and environmental uses average 1% each. (See Figure 21.1)
[[File:Water withdrawals by sector 1982-1997.png|frame|center|'''Figure 21.1''': Proportion of water used for home, industrial, and agricultural purposes across the world.]]
Some ways that people use water do not use up the water. When you swim in a lake, you do not use up the water. The water is still in the lake when you climb out. In some cases, water can be recycled for reuse. For example, the water you use to brush your teeth or take a bath can be collected through your household pipes and the sewer system, purified and then redistributed for reuse. These are examples of '''non-consumptive''' water use. By recycling water, we ultimately reduce our overall water consumption.
Unlike the previous examples, water sprinklers are called '''consumptive''', because much of the water is lost to the air as evaporation. None of the lost water can be captured and reused.
==Agricultural Water Uses==
Have you ever watched huge sprinklers watering large fields of crops (Figure 21.2)? If you have, try to imagine how much water it takes to water a field compared to taking a shower or bath. You may be surprised to learn that agriculture uses more than two thirds (69%) of the water humans use, globally.
[[File:PivotWithDrops.JPG|500px|center|thumb|'''Figure 21.2''': Overhead sprinklers need to use large quantities of water on crops because much of the water is lost to evaporation and runoff.]]
Two of the most popular irrigation methods are overhead sprinklers and trench irrigation. Trench irrigation systems are just that: trench canals that carry water from a water source to the fields. Farmers often chose these methods because they relatively inexpensive. Unfortunately, they are also wasteful of water. Roughly fifteen to thirty-six percent of the water never reaches the crops, because it evaporates into the air or is lost as runoff. When rain or irrigation water is not absorbed by the soil, often it washes valuable soil away.
Giving up irrigation is not a choice for most farmers. A farmer living in a dry region, such as a desert, needs irrigation, just to grow crops. A farmer living in a wetter place would use irrigation to produce more crops or to grow more profitable crops. In some cases, farmers can choose to grow crops that match the amount of rain that falls in that region naturally.
Instead of giving up irrigation, farmers can use less water by choosing more efficient irrigation methods, such as '''drip irrigation''' (Figure 21.3). This irrigation system uses pipes and tubes to deliver small amounts of water directly to the soil at the roots of each plant or tree. It wastes less water than sprinklers and trenches, because almost all of the water goes directly to the soil and plant roots.
[[File:Drip irrigation.jpg|500px|thumb|center|'''Figure 21.3''': Drip irrigation uses a series of pipes and tubes to deliver water to the base of each plant. Because little water is lost to evaporation and runoff, this method uses less water than sprinklers and trenches.]]
You might wonder why any farmer would not switch to efficient irrigation methods, since they would save so much water. There are two reasons. First, drip irrigation and other efficient irrigation methods cost more than trenches and sprinklers. Second, in some countries, such as the United States, the government pays for much of the cost of the water that is used for agriculture. Because, farmers do not have to pay the full price of the water they use, they do not have any financial reason or '''incentive''' to use less water.
==Aquaculture==
[[File:Delta Pride Catfish farm harvest.jpg|225px|thumb|'''Figure 21.4''': Workers at a fish farm harvest fish they will sell to stores.]]
Aquaculture is the name for the type of farming you might do if you were raising fish, shellfish, algae or aquatic plants (Figure 21.4). This is a farming practice where plants and animals that live in water are raised. As the supplies of fish from lakes, rivers, and the oceans dwindle, people are getting more fish from aquaculture. Raising fish instead of hunting for them is a different way of increasing our food resources. The next time you pass the fish display in the grocery store, look for labels for "farm raised" fish. These fish would have been raised in an aquaculture setting.
Some of the most productive aquaculture farming takes place in wetland areas along coastlines. Rivers and streams carry nutrient-rich water into these wetlands, so fish and other animal life thrives. A good supply of nutrients is important when raising a large community of plants or animals. We need to be careful about the wastes that are added to our coastal waters when we increase plant and animal populations in these areas. Aquaculture can be considered a non-consumptive use of water, as long as we keep our coastal waters in good condition.
==Industrial Water Use==
Industrial water use accounts for an estimated fifteen percent of worldwide water use. Industries include power plants that use water to cool their equipment, and oil refineries that use water for chemical processes (Figure 21.5). Industry also uses water in many manufacturing processes. Looking at water use in a completely different way, hydroelectric power plants are built along rivers and streams to generate energy. This is a very efficient way to use water that is also non-consumptive.
[[File:Poland Solina dam.jpg|500px|center|thumb|'''Figure 21.5''': A power plant in Poland sits on the edge of a lake with easy access to water for cooling and other purposes.]]
==Household Use==
Starting from when you wake up in the morning, count the ways you use water at home (Figure 21.6). You will need to count the water you drink, water used in cooking, bathing, flushing toilets, and even gardening. You will be surprised to notice how many times a day you use water. Have you ever had to go without water? The United States is a developed country. In developed countries, people use a lot of water each day. People living in less developed countries use far less water than people in the United States. Globally, household or personal water use is estimated to account for fifteen percent of world-wide water use.
[[File:Humanitarian aid OCPA-2005-10-28-090517a.jpg|500px|center|thumb|'''Figure 21.6''': Humanitarian aid providing less developed countries with water.]]
Some household water uses are considered non-consumptive, because water is recaptured in sewer systems, treated and returned to surface water supplies for reuse. Watering lawns with sprinklers is an exception. Just like sprinkler irrigation on farms, yard sprinklers are consumptive and use large amounts of water.
We all have many ways to lower the amount of water we use at home. Hardware stores sell water-efficient home products, such as drip irrigation to water lawns and gardens, low flow shower heads and low flow toilets. What other ways can you use less water at home?
==Recreational Use==
Which sports use water? Swimming, fishing, and boating are easy examples to think about (Figure 21.7). Do you think playing golf requires water? Actually it does, because we irrigate the golf course in order to keep it nice and green! The amount of water that most recreational activities use is low: less than one percent of all the water we use.
[[File:Crystal Lake.jpg|550px|center|thumb|'''Figure 21.7''': Many recreational activities, such as swimming and fishing, are non-consumptive water activities which won't deplete the water supply.]]
Most recreational water uses are non-consumptive. That would include swimming, fishing, and boating. We can swim, fish, and boat without reducing the water supply. The same is not true for playing golf, which is the biggest recreational water consumer. Golf courses require large amounts of water. Water used for golf courses is generally consumptive, since most of it is lost to evaporation, soil, and runoff.
==Environmental Use==
Environmental uses include activities to create habitat for wildlife, such as building lakes and fish ladders to help fish spawn (Figure 21.9). Most environmental uses are non-consumptive; they account for even less water use than recreation.
[[File:Atchafalaya Basin.jpg|500px|center|thumb|'''Figure 21.8''': Wetlands and other environments depend on clean water to survive. Water shortages are a leading cause of global biodiversity loss.]]
==California Water Resources==
Nevada and other mountain ranges feeds rivers that crisscross the state. Many of these streams feed into the Sacramento River in the northern part of the Central Valley, and the San Joaquin River in the southern portion (Figure 21.9). Virtually all of these rivers are dammed, some more than once, to supply power and water to the cities and farmland of the state.
[[File:California water system.jpg|500px|center|thumb|'''Figure 21.9''': California rivers.]]
Groundwater is also an important source of water in California. In a normal year about 40% of the state's water supply comes from groundwater. In a drought year, the number can rise to 60% or more. The largest groundwater reservoirs are found in the Central Valley where thousands of years of snow melt has fed the aquifers. In many locations, much more groundwater is used each year than is available to recharge the aquifer. Subsidence of the land is common in these regions.
Despite these vast water sources, the states large population and enormous agricultural landscape put a strain on the water supply. Water rights in California are complex and controversial. Although about 75% of the water resources are in the northern one-third of the state, the largest usage, about 80%, is in the southern two-thirds. Besides projects that exist to distribute water within the state, a large source of water is the Colorado River, which California must share with five other states and Mexico. The distribution of water resources in the Western United States will be a topic of much discussion in the coming decades.
==Lesson Summary==
* Human water use can be lumped into five categories. The uses are arranged in order of greatest to the least amounts of total water use on Earth:
** Agriculture (sixty-nine percent)
** Industry uses (fifteen percent of global water use)
** Home and Personal use (fifteen percent)
** Recreation uses (less than one percent)
** Environmental use (less than one percent)
* Despite California's abundant water supply from surface streams and groundwater, the state has a number of water rights issues that will be important long into the future.
==Review Questions==
# Describe the three water uses that consume the most fresh water.
# Explain why humans are limited to using less than one percent of all the water on Earth for our needs.
# List two reasons why human water use has increased tremendously during the past century.
# Describe four consequences of water shortages.
# What does the phrase "water is more valuable than gold" mean?
# Describe why some water uses are called consumptive.
# Describe drip irrigation and why it wastes less water than irrigating with sprinklers.
# Describe why droughts are more serious in arid regions of the world than in wetter regions.
# What is the origin of California's fresh water sources?
==Vocabulary==
; consumptive
: Water use where water is "lost" to evaporation.
; drip irrigation
: Pipes and tubes that deliver small amounts of water directly to the soil at the roots.
; incentive
: A financial benefit for taking a particular action.
; non-consumptive
: Water use that does not "use up" the water supply.
==Points to Consider==
* How could fresh water be more valuable than gold or a diamond?
* Which human activity uses more water than all other activities combined?
* Why don't all farmers use drip irrigation and other water efficient irrigation methods?
* How could water filtration and desalination technologies be best utilized to provide safe drinking water for everyone?

<!--[[Image:Ukrainians diaspora famous.jpg|thumb|250px|Ukrainians in diaspora.]]-->
The '''Ukrainian diaspora''' is the global community of [[w:ethnicity|ethnic]] [[w:Ukrainians|Ukrainians]], especially those who maintain some kind of connection, even if ephemeral, to the land of their ancestors and maintain their feeling of Ukrainian national identity within their own local community.
==History==
===1608 To 1880===
[[File:Ukrainians in Russia new.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Group of prominent [[w:Ukrainians in Russia|Ukrainians in Russia]].]]
After the loss suffered by the Ukrainian-Swedish Alliance under [[w:Ivan Mazepa|Ivan Mazepa]] in the [[w:Battle of Poltava|Battle of Poltava]] in 1709, some political emigrants, primarily [[w:Cossack|Cossack]]s, settled in [[Turkey]] and in Western Europe.
In 1775, after the fall of the [[w:Zaporozhian Sich|Zaporozhian Sich]] to the Russian Empire, some more of the Cossacks emigrated to [[w:Dobruja|Dobruja]] in the Ottoman Empire (now in Romania), while others settled in Volga and Ural regions of the Russian Empire.
In the second half of the 18th century, Ukrainians from the [[w:Zakarpattia Oblast|Transcarpathian]] Region formed agricultural settlements in Hungary, primarily in the [[w:Backa|Backa]] and [[w:Srem District|Srem]] regions. Both these places are currently located in the [[w:Vojvodina|Vojvodina]] Region of the [[w:Republic of Serbia|Republic of Serbia]].
In time, Ukrainian settlements emerged in the major European capitals, including [[w:Vienna|Vienna]], [[w:Budapest|Budapest]], Rome and [[w:Warsaw|Warsaw]].
In 1880, the Ukrainian diaspora consisted of approximately 1.2 million people, which represented approximately 4.6% of all Ukrainians, and was distributed as follows:
*0.7 million Ukrainians in the European part of the [[w:Russian Empire|Russian Empire]];
*0.2 million Ukrainians in [[w:Austro-Hungary|Austro-Hungary]];
*0.1 million Ukrainians in the Asian part of the Russian Empire;
*0.1 million Ukrainians in the United States.
===1880-1920===
[[File:Ukrainians in Austro-Hungarian Monarchy 1890 Prnjavor Bosnia.JPG|right|thumb|250px|Ukrainians in [[w:Austro-Hungarian Monarchy|Austro-Hungarian Monarchy]] 1890, modern [[w:Prnjavor|Prnjavor]].]]
[[File:Green Ukraine - Zeleny Klyn - Russian Federation.jpg|right|thumb|250px|[[Green Ukraine]] - Ukrainian historical name of the land in the Russian Far East area.]]
In the last quarter of the 19th century due to the agrarian resettlement, a massive emigration of Ukrainians from Austro-Hungary to the Americas and from the Russian Empire to the Urals and Asia ([[w:Siberia|Siberia]] and [[w:Kazakhstan|Kazakhstan]]) occurred.
A secondary movement was the emigration under the auspices of the Austro-Hungarian government of 10,000 Ukrainians from [[w:Galicia (Central Europe)|Galicia]] to [[w:Bosnia (region)|Bosnia]].
Furthermore due to Russian agitation, 15,000 Ukrainians left Galicia and [[w:Bukovina|Bukovina]] and settled in Russia. Most of these settlers later returned.
Finally in the Russian Empire, some Ukrainians from the [[w:Chełm|Chełm]] and [[w:Podlaskie|Podlaskie]] regions, as well as most of the Jews, emigrated to the Americas.
Some of the Ukrainians that left their homeland returned. For example, from the 393,000 Ukrainians that emigrated to the United States of America, 70,000 Ukrainians returned.
Most of the emigrants to the United States of America worked in the construction and mining industries. Many worked in the US on a temporary basis, to earn [[w:remittances|remittances]].
In the 1890s, Ukrainian agricultural settlers emigrated to first to [[w:Brazil|Brazil]], and [[w:Argentina|Argentina]]. However, the writings of Galician professor and nationalist Dr. [[w:Joseph Oleskiw|Joseph Oleskiw]] were influential in redirecting that flow to Canada. He visited an already-established Ukrainian [[w:block settlement|block settlement]], which had been founded by [[w:Iwan Pylypow|Iwan Pylypow]], and met with Canadian immigration officials. His two pamphlets on the subject praised the United States as a place for wage labour, but stated that Canada was the best place for agricultural settlers to obtain free land. By contrast he was fiercely critical of the treatment Ukrainian settlers had received in South America. After his writings, the slow trickle of Ukrainians to Canada, greatly increased.
Before the start of the First World War, almost 500,000 Ukrainians emigrated to the Americas. This can be broken down by country as follows:
* to the United States of America: almost 350,000 Ukrainians;
* to Canada: almost 100,000 Ukrainians;
* to Brazil and Argentina: almost 50,000 Ukrainians.
In 1914, the Ukrainian diaspora in the Americas was about 700-750 thousand people, located as follows:
* 500-550 thousand Ukrainians in the United States of America;
* almost 100 thousand Ukrainians in Canada;
* approximately 50 thousand Ukrainians in Brazil;
* 15-20 thousand Ukrainians in Argentina.
Most of the emigrates to the Americas belonged to the [[w:Greek Catholic Church|Greek Catholic Church]]. This led to the creation of Greek Catholic bishops in Canada and the United States of America. The need for solidarity lead to the creation of Ukrainian religious, political, and social organisations. These new Ukrainian organisations maintained links with the homeland, from which books, media, priests, cultural figures, and new ideas arrived. Furthermore, local influence, as well as influence from their homeland, led to the process of a national re-awakening. At times, the diaspora was ahead of their times in this re-awakening.
It should be noted that the emigrants from the Transcarpathian and [[w:Lemko|Lemko]] regions created their own organisations and had their own separate Greek Catholic church hierarchy ([[w:Ruthenian Catholic Church|Ruthenian Catholic Church]]). These emigrants are often considered to be [[w:Rusyns|Rusyns]] or Ruthenians and are considered by some to be distinct from other Ukrainians. However in Argentina and Brazil, immigrants from Transcarpathia and Lemkivshchyna did identify themselves as Ukrainians.
The majority of the Ukrainian diaspora in the Americas focused on freeing the nation and obtaining independence. Thus, during the First World War and the fight for freedom in Ukraine (1919–1920), the Ukrainian diaspora in the United States of America and Canada actively sought to get the governments to support their cause. An interesting note is the role the Ruthenians played to convince the United States' government to unite in 1919, the Transcarpathian region with the [[w:Czechoslovak Republic|Czechoslovak Republic]]. The Ukrainian diaspora sent delegates to the [[w:Paris Peace Conference, 1919|Paris Peace Conference]].
On the other hand, the Ukrainian diaspora in the Russian Empire, and especially in Asia, was primarily agrarian. After 1860, the diaspora was primarily located in the Volga and Ural Regions, while in the last quarter of that century, due to a lack of space for settlement, the diaspora expanded into Western [[w:Siberia|Siberia]], [[w:Turkestan|Turkestan]], the [[w:Far East|Far East]], and even into the [[w:Zeleny Klyn|Zeleny Klyn]]. In the 1897 census, in the Russian Empire, there were 1,560,000 Ukrainians divided as follows:
*In the European part of the empire: 1,232,000 Ukrainians
**In the Volga and Urals: 393,000 Ukrainians;
**In the non-Ukrainian (ethnographically speaking) parts of [[w:Kursk|Kursk]] and [[w:Voronezh|Voronezh]] Regions: 232,000 Ukrainians;
**Almost 150,000 Ukrainians in [[w:Bessarabia|Bessarabia]].
*In the Asian part of the empire: 311,000 Ukrainians
**In the Caucasus region: 117,000 Ukrainians.
In the next decades, Ukrainian emigration to Asia increased (almost 1.5 million Ukrainians emigrated), so that in 1914 there were almost 2 million Ukrainians in the Asian part of the Russian Empire. In all of the Russian empire, there was a Ukrainian diaspora of 3.4 million Ukrainians. Most of this population was assimilated due to a lack of national awareness and closeness with the local Russian population, especially in religion.
Unlike the emigrants from Austro-Hungary, the Ukrainian emigrants in the Russian Empire did not create their own organisations nor were there many interactions with their homeland. Only, the revolution of 1917 allowed the creation of Ukrainian organisations, which were linked with the national and political rebirth in Ukraine.
===1920-1945===
====First major political emigration====
The First World War and the [[w:Russian Civil War|Russian Civil War]] led to the first massive political emigration, which strengthened the existing Ukrainian communities by infusing them with members from political, scientific, and cultural backgrounds. Furthermore, some of these new emigrants formed Ukrainian communities in Western and Central Europe. Thus, new communities were created in the Czechoslovakia, Germany, Poland, France, Belgium, Austria, Romania, and Yugoslavia. The largest was in [[w:Prague|Prague]], which was considered one of the centres of Ukrainian culture and political life (after [[w:Lviv|Lviv]] and [[w:Kraków|Kraków]]).
This group of emigrants created many different organisations and movements associated with corresponding groups in the battle for independence. A few Ukrainian universities were founded. Furthermore, many of these organisations were associated with the exiled Ukrainian government, the [[w:Ukrainian People's Republic|Ukrainian People's Republic]].
During the 1920s, the [[w:new diaspora|new diaspora]] maintained links with the Soviet Ukraine. A Sovietophile movement appeared, whereby former opponents of the Bolsheviks began to argue that Ukrainians should support the Soviet Ukraine. Some argued that they should do so because the Soviet republics were the leaders of international revolution, while others claimed that the Bolsheviks' social and national policies benifted Ukraine. This movement included [[w:Mykhailo Hrushevskyi|Mykhailo Hrushevskyi]], [[w:Volodymyr Vynnychenko|Volodymyr Vynnychenko]] and [[w:Yevhen Petrushevych|Yevhen Petrushevych]]. Many émigrés, for example Mykhailo Hrushevskyi, returned and helped the Bolsheviks implement their policy of Ukrainianisation. However, the abandonment of Ukrainianisation, the return to collectivisation and the man-made famine of 1932-3 ended this tendency.<ref>Christopher Gilley, ''The 'Change in Signposts' in the Ukrainian Emigration. A Contribution to the History of Sovietophilism in the 1920s'', Stuttgart: Ibidem, 2009</ref> Most of the links were broken, with the exception of some Sovietophile organisations in Canada and the United States of America.<ref>John Kolasky, ''The Shattered Illusion. The History of Ukrainian Pro-Communist Organizations in Canada'', Toronto: PMA Books</ref>
On the other hand, the Canadian and American diaspora maintained links with the Ukrainian community in Galicia and the Transcarpathian Region.
The political emigration decreased in the middle 1920s due to a return to the homeland and a decline in students studying at the Ukrainian universities.
====Economic emigration====
In 1920-1921, Ukrainians left Western Ukraine to settle in the Americas and Western Europe. Most of the emigrates settled in Argentina, Brazil, [[w:Uruguay|Uruguay]], [[w:Paraguay|Paraguay]], France, the UK and Belgium. The economic crisis of the early 1930s stopped most of the emigration. Later, the emigration picked up. The number of emigrants can be approximated as:
*to Canada: almost 70,000 Ukrainians;
*to Argentina: 50,000 Ukrainians;
*to France: 35,000 Ukrainians;
*to the United States of America: 15,000 Ukrainians;
*to Brazil: 10,000 Ukrainians;
*to Paraguay and Uruguay: a couple of thousand Ukrainians.
Furthermore, many Ukrainians left the Ukrainian SSR and settled in Asia due to political and economic factors, primarily collectivisation and the famine of 1920.
==== Size ====
The Ukrainian diaspora, outside of the Soviet Union, was 1.7-1.8 million people, divided by place as follows:
* In the Americas:
** In the United States of America: 700-800 thousand Ukrainians
** In Canada: 250 thousand Ukrainians
** In Argentina: 220 thousand Ukrainians
** In Brazil: 80 thousand Ukrainians
* In Western and Central Europe:
** In Romania (almost all in Bessarabia): 350 thousand Ukrainians
** In Poland: 100 thousand Ukrainians
** In France: 40 thousand Ukrainians
** In Yugoslavia: 40 thousand Ukrainians
** In Czechoslovakia: 35 thousand Ukrainians
** In other countries: 15-20 thousand Ukrainians
According to the soviet census of 1926, there were 3,450,000 Ukrainians living outside of the [[w:Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic|Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic]], divided as follows:
* In the European part of the Soviet Union: 1,310,000 Ukrainians
** 242,000 Ukrainians living on land neighbouring the Ukrainian ethnic territory
** 771,000 Ukrainians in the Volga and Ural regions
* In the Asian part of the Soviet Union: 2,138,000 Ukrainians
** 861,000 Ukrainians in [[w:Kazakhstan|Kazakhstan]]
** 830,000 Ukrainians in Siberia
** 315,000 Ukrainians in the Far East
** 64,000 Ukrainians in [[w:Kyrgyzstan|Kyrgyzstan]]
** 33,000 Ukrainians in the Central Asian Republic
** 35,000 Ukrainians in the Caucasus Region.
In Asia, the vast majority of the Ukrainians lived in the Central Asian region and in the Zeleny Klyn. On January 1, 1933, there were about 4.5 million Ukrainians (larger than the official figures) in the Soviet Union outside of the Ukrainian SSR, while in America there were 1.1-1.2 million Ukrainians.
In 1931, the Ukrainian diaspora can be counted as follows:

In the Ukrainian SSR, there were 25,300,278 Ukrainians.
===1945-1991===
====Outside the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe====
The Ukrainian diaspora increased after 1945 due to a second wave of political emigrants. The 250,000 Ukrainians at first settled in Germany and Austria. In the latter half of the 1940s and early 1950s, these Ukrainians were resettled in many different countries creating new Ukrainian settlements in Australia, [[w:Venezuela|Venezuela]], and for a time being in [[w:Tunisia|Tunisia]] ([[w:Ben-Metir|Ben-Metir]]), as well as re-enforcing previous settlements in the United States of America, Canada (primarily [[w:Toronto|Toronto]], [[w:Ontario|Ontario]] and [[w:Montreal|Montreal]], [[w:Quebec|Quebec]]), Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. In Europe, there remained between 50,000 and 100,000 Ukrainians that settled in the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
This second wave of emigrants re-invigorated Ukrainian organisations in the Americas and Western Europe. In 1967, in [[w:New York|New York]], the [[w:World Congress of Free Ukrainians|World Congress of Free Ukrainians]] was created. Scientific organisations were created. There was created an Institute of Ukrainian Studies at Harvard.
An attempt was made to unite the various religious organisations (Orthodox and Greek Catholic). However, this did not succeed. In the early 1970s, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in the United States of America and the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church in Europe, South America, and Australia managed to unite. Most of the other Orthodox churches maintained with each other some religious links. The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church had to wait until 1980 until its synod was recognised by the [[w:Holy See|Vatican]]. The Ukrainian Evangelical and Baptist churches also created an All-Ukrainian Evangelical-Baptist Union.
====Within the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe====
During the latter Soviet time there was a strong net migration in the USSR. Most of the Ukrainian contingent that was leaving the Ukrainian SSR for other areas of the Union settled in places with other migrants. The cultural separation from Ukraine proper meant that many were to form the so called "multicultural soviet nation". In Siberia, 82% of Ukrainian entered mixed marriages, primarily with Russians. This meant that outside the parent national republic there was little or no provision for continuing a diaspora function. Thus only in large cities such as Moscow would Ukrainian literature and television could be found. At the same time other Ukrainian cultural heritage such as clothing and national foods were preserved. According to Soviet sociologist, 27% of the Ukrainians in Siberia read Ukrainian printed material and 38% used the Ukrainian language. From time to time, Ukrainian groups would visit Siberia. Nonetheless most of the Ukrainians did assimilate.
In Eastern Europe, the Ukrainian diaspora can be divided as follows:
*In Poland: 200-300 thousand Ukrainians
*In Czechoslovakia: 120-150 thousand Ukrainians
*In Romania: 100-150 thousand Ukrainians
*In Yugoslavia: 45-50 thousand Ukrainians.
In all these countries, Ukrainians had the status of a minority nation with their own socio-cultural organisations, schools, and press. The degree of these rights varied from country to country. They were greatest in Yugoslavia.
The largest Ukrainian diaspora was in Poland. It consisted of those Ukrainians, which *were left in the western parts of Galicia that after the Second World War remained in Poland and had not emigrated to the Ukrainian SSR or resettled; and *were resettled to the western and northern parts of Poland, which before the Second World War had been part of Germany.
Ukrainians in Czechoslovakia lived in the [[w:Prešov Region|Prešov Region]], which can be considered Ukrainian ethnographic territory, and had substantial rights. The Ukrainians in the Prešov Region had their own church organisation.
Ukrainians in Romania lived in the Romanian parts of Bukovina and the [[w:Maramures historical region|Maramureş]] Region, as well as in scattered settlements throughout Romania.
Ukrainians in Yugoslavia lived primarily in Bancka and Srem regions of [[w:Vojvodina|Vojvodina]] and Bosnia. These Ukrainians had their own church organisation as the [[w:Eparchy of Križevci|Eparchy of Križevci]].
==== Size ====
Of the countries where the Ukrainian diaspora had settled, only in Canada and the Soviet Union were information about ethnic background collected. However, the data from the Soviet Union is suspect and underestimates the number of Ukrainians. In 1970, the Ukrainian diaspora can be given as follows:
* In the Soviet Union: officially 5.1 million Ukrainians
** In the European part: 2.8 million Ukrainians
** In the Asian part: 2.3 million Ukrainians
* In Eastern Europe (outside of the Soviet Union): 465-650 thousand Ukrainians
** In Czechoslovakia: 120-150 thousand Ukrainians
** In Poland: 200-300 thousand Ukrainians

For the Soviet Union, it can be assumed that about 10-12 million people of Ukrainian (7-9 million in Asia) heritage live outside the Ukrainian SSR.
=== After 1991 ===
After the independence of Ukraine, many Ukrainians have emigrated to Portugal, Spain, the Czech Republic, Russia, and Italy due to the uncertain economic and political situation at home. Many Jewish-Ukrainians or Ukrainians with some Jewish ancestry also immigrated to [[w:Israel|Israel]].
Many Ukrainians live in Russia along the Ukrainian border. In 1990s, the number of Ukrainians living in the Russian Federation was calculated to be around 5 million.<ref>''Democratic Changes and Authoritarian Reactions in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova'' By Karen Dawisha, Bruce Parrott. Cambridge University Press, 1997 {{#isbn:0521597323}}, {{#isbn:9780521597326}}. p. 332</ref> These regions, where Ukrainians live, can be subdived into 2 categories:
Regions along the mixed Ukrainian-Russian border territory and those regions mixed Ukrainian-Belarusian-Russian{{Citation needed|date=March 2007}} territory:
# *The northern part of [[w:Sloboda Ukraine|Sloboda Ukraine]]
# *Northern part of the former [[w:Chernigov Governorate|Chernigov Governorate]].
# The rest of Russia, formed from systematic migration since the start of the 19th century.
Ukrainians can also be found in parts of Romanian and [[w:Slovakia|Slovakia]] that border Ukraine.
The size of the Ukrainian diaspora has changed over time due to the following factors:
*Growth Factors
*#New emigration from Ukraine
*#Natural Growth
*Decrease Factors
*#Returning of emigrants to Ukraine
*#Assimilation
In 2004, the Ukrainian diaspora was distributed as follows:

__NOTOC__
= Blogs, Microblogs and Podcasts =
In this class we will heavily use blogs and microblogs. They are a big help in documenting and in communicating. We may also record the lectures and post them on YouTube.
== Blogs ==
In previous centuries, people wrote personal, private diaries. In our day and age this has become the public blog. The Wikipedia says that
:"A blog (web log) is a personal journal published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order so the most recent post appears first." <ref name="r4">Blog, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog</ref>
The spectrum of blogs is very wide, ranging from personal blogs, corporate blogs and journalism blogs (’citizen journalism’ <ref name="r3">Citizen journalism, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen_journalism</ref>). In the exercises you will learn how to write your own blog in case you haven’t started one already.
=== The History of Blogging ===
While the term "blog" was not coined until the late 1990s, the history of blogging starts with several digital precursors to it.
==== 1983–1993 ====
At this time Usenet was the primary serial medium included in the original definition of the Internet.
It featured moderated newsgroup which allowed all posting in a newsgroup to be under the control of an individual or small group.
In the early 1990s, when Tim Berners-Lee coined the term "world wide web" and defined the first standards for HTML and URLs, the specifications although included "USENET newsgroups for serial publishing and discussions."
==== 1994–2001 ====
The modern blog itself evolved from the online diary, where people would keep a running account of their personal lives.
The first weblogs were simply manually updated components of common websites. However, the evolution of tools to facilitate the production and maintenance of web articles posted in reverse chronological order made the publishing process feasible to a much larger, less technical, population. Ultimately, this resulted in the distinct class of online publishing that produces blogs we recognize today. For instance, the use of some sort of browser-based software is now a typical aspect of "blogging". Blogs can be hosted by dedicated blog hosting services, or they can be run using blog software, such as WordPress, Movable Type, Blogger or LiveJournal, or on regular web hosting services.
The term "weblog" was first-used by Jorn Barger on 17 December 1997. The (“more popular”) short form, "blog," was coined by Peter Merholz, who jokingly broke the word weblog into the phrase we blog in the sidebar of his blog Peterme.com in April or May 1999.
Shortly thereafter, Evan Williams atPyra Labs used "blog" as both a noun and verb ("to blog," meaning "to edit one's weblog or to post to one's weblog") and devised the term "blogger" in connection with Pyra Labs' Blogger product, leading to the popularization of the terms.
After a slow start, blogging rapidly gained in popularity. Blog usage spread during 1999 and the years following, being further popularized by the near-simultaneous arrival of the first hosted blog tools:
Blogging combined the personal web page with tools to make linking to other pages easier — specifically permalinks, blogrolls and TrackBacks. This, together with weblog search engines enabled bloggers to track the threads that connected them to others with similar interests.
==== 2001–2004 ====
By 2001, blogging was enough of a phenomenon that how-to manuals began to appear, primarily focusing on technique. The importance of the blogging community (and its relationship to larger society) increased rapidly. Established schools of journalism began researching blogging and noting the differences between journalism and blogging.
Since 2002, blogs have gained increasing notice and coverage for their role in breaking, shaping, and spinning news stories. The Iraq war saw bloggers taking measured and passionate points of view that go beyond the traditional left-right divide of the political spectrum.
Blogging was established by politicians and political candidates to express opinions on war and other issues and cemented blogs' role as a news source. Meanwhile, an increasing number of experts blogged, making blogs a source of in-depth analysis.
Blogging was used to draw attention to obscure news sources. For example, bloggers posted links to traffic cameras in Madrid as a huge anti-terrorism demonstration filled the streets in the wake of the March 11 attacks.
Bloggers began to provide nearly-instant commentary on televised events, creating a secondary meaning of the word "blogging": to simultaneously transcribe and editorialize speeches and events shown on television.
Real-time commentary is sometimes referred to as "liveblogging."
==== 2004–present ====
In 2004 Merriam-Webster (American dictionary) voted Blog the "Word of the Year"
By 2010 about 8.4% of the german internet users had their own blog. Worldwide there were about 200 million Blogs and min. 200 free blog hoster
=== Technical Characteristics ===
==== Software ====
Typical for most Weblog-Publishing-System is that it is very easy to publicate websites using them. They are Content-Management-System allowing you to create new content as well as changing and commenting for new and amateur users, without giving you a lot of variation in the Webdesign. Most the time the Design is only made once with the installation by choosing one of the designs patterns availabe. Most Blog systems allow you to change your Design later.
You can choose whether you host your weblog-software from your own webspace or you use it via ASP-service from a free or charged host.
Most famous blog-softwaresystems are Serendipity, WordPress, Movable Type and Textpattern, mostly using PHP.
The most famous blog-hoster are Wordpress.com, Blogger.dom/Blogspot.com, Twoday.net or Blog.de
==== Elements ====
'''Posts/Postings'''
The articles, which are the main component of a blog, are called posts or postings. They are usually listed chronologically in reversed order.
'''Thread'''
All posts made about one specified topic inside one Blog
'''Comments'''
Many blogs give you the opportunity to submit your opinion on a topic. This comment is then placed right on the same page as the original thread.
On most Blogs you have the option whether you want to moderate the comment or you want to show them by instant. Moderating helps to avoid Spam or vandalism.
'''Feed'''
A Feed holds the whole content of a weblog in a unified form. It can be read and subscribed to via a feedreader. Best known formats are RSS and Atom
'''Blogroll'''
The Blogroll is a link collection open to everyone which refers to other weblogs. Normally it´s made clearly visible on the main page and all subpages.
'''Tag Clouds'''
Tag Clouds list and prioritise the tags used in the Blog in a very visual way.
=== The Blogosphere ===
The blogosphere is made up of all blogs and their interconnections. The term implies that blogs exist together as a connected community (or as a collection of connected communities) or as a social network in which everyday authors can publish their opinions. Since the term has been coined, it has been referenced in a number of media and is also used to refer to the Internet.
There is no Study that can show a global view over the whole blogosphere
=== About the Bloggers ===
* In the german language area about 66% of all Bloggers are female but the men's blogs are the more read
* It's nearly the same in the U.S
* About 72% of the english-speaking bloggers write a personal Blog
* Only about 28% write their blogs for the reason of commenting and giving Information. But they have the bigger audience and are the far more active bloggers
=== Blogging niches ===
'''Political blogs'''
These blogs are often tied to a large media or news corporation, such as "The Caucus" (affiliated with The New York Times), "CNN Political Ticker", and the National Review's "The Corner."
'''Gossip blogs'''
These blogs can greatly be attributed to the popularity of Perez Hilton, a celebrity and entertainment media gossip blogger. His blog posts tabloid photographs of celebrities, accompanied by captions and comments. Web traffic to the often controversial and raunchy Perez Hilton site skyrocketed in 2005, prompting similar gossip blogs, such as TMZ.com, Jezebel,Dr. Cephcoh Ssefuko Ismail (born March 15, 2000), known professionally as Dr. Cephcoh, is a Ugandan biomedical engineer, digital content creator, and entrepreneur. He is recognized as a pioneer in the Ugandan TikTok community and for his contributions to medical physics and youth leadership.
== Early life and education ==
Ssefuko Ismail was born in 2000 and attended Nateete Muslim High School. During his secondary education, he was active in public speaking, earning a certificate of appreciation as 2nd runner-up in a competition held by the Nateete Muslim Students' Association (NAMSA) during the 2014–2015 academic year. He also received recognition for outstanding performance in public speaking at the Annual Inter Muslim Students Association of Kampala (IMSAK) competition in March 2015.
In 2018, Ssefuko completed a certificate in Introductory Physics for Biomedical Sciences at the Ernest Cook Ultrasound Research and Education Institute (ECUREI). He later earned a diploma in biomedical engineering.

In April 2026, Ssefuko's influence was further recognized during a public meeting with President Yoweri Museveni. The event was widely covered by Ugandan media as a defining moment for the recognition of digital influencers in the country.<ref>https://www.pulse.ug/story/dr-cephcohs-moment-from-tiktok-influence-to-meeting-president-museveni-2026041420381184734</ref><ref>https://exclusive.co.ug/dr-cephcoh-meets-museveni-a-defining-moment-for-ugandas-digital-influencers/</ref><ref>https://bigeyeuganda.com/dr-cephcohs-surprise-recognition-by-president-museveni-sparks-online-buzz/</ref> His presentation during the event was noted for its focus on the potential of the digital economy for Ugandan youth.<ref>https://www.thekampalareport.com/society/entertainment/2026041661621/digital-creator-dr-cephcoh-impresses-at-presidential-event.html</ref><ref>https://truelidnews.com

'''Food blogs'''
These blogs allow foodies and aspiring chefs alike to share recipes, cooking techniques, and food porn, for others to enjoy. Food blogs serve as a sort of online cookbook for followers, often containing restaurant critiques, product reviews, and step-by-step photography for recipes.
'''Fashion blogs'''
These blogs became their own larger than life sub-community following the explosive growth of the blogosphere. Besides fashion news blogs, street style blogs have also become exceedingly popular. Many Bloggers consider updating their blog a full time job. These style mavens are able to earn considerable livings through advertising, selling their photos and even providing their services as photographers, stylists, and guest designers.
'''Health blogs'''
These blogs cover health topics, events and/or related content of the health industry and the general community. They can cover diverse health related concerns such as nutrition and diet, fitness, weight control, diseases, disease management, societal trends affecting health, analysis about health, business of health and health research.
=== Political Impact ===
* Human Rights Defenders especially in Iran or China write about censoring, human rights violations and the social or political states in their countries
* Many politicians use blogs for their PR
* Political bloggers like Alexey Navalny in Russia started to challenge the official pro-government media ending in Navalny being called "the man Vladimir Putin fears most" by the "Wall Street Journal" in March 2012
=== Legal and Social Consequences ===
Blogging can result in a range of legal liabilities and other unforeseen consequences.
'''Defamation or liability'''
Several cases have been brought before the national courts against bloggers concerning issues of defamation or liability. U.S. payouts related to blogging totaled $17.4 million by 2009; in some cases these have been covered by umbrella insurance. The courts have returned with mixed verdicts. Internet Service Providers (ISPs), in general, are immune from liability for information that originates with third parties (U.S. Communications Decency Act and the EU Directive 2000/31/EC).
'''Employment'''
Employees who blog about elements of their place of employment can begin to affect the brand recognition of their employer. In general, attempts by employee bloggers to protect themselves by maintaining anonymity have proved ineffective.
'''Political Dangers'''
Blogging can sometimes have unforeseen consequences in politically sensitive areas. Blogs are much harder to control than broadcast or even print media. As a result, totalitarian and authoritarian regimes often seek to suppress blogs and/or to punish those who maintain them.
'''Personal Safety'''
One consequence of blogging is the possibility of attacks or threats against the blogger, sometimes without apparent reason. While a blogger's anonymity is often tenuous, Internet trolls who would attack a blogger with threats or insults can be emboldened by anonymity.
'''Behavior'''
Tim O'Reilly proposed the Blogger's Code of Conduct for bloggers to enforce civility on their blogs by being civil themselves and moderating comments on their blog.
O'Reilly and others came up with a list of seven proposed ideas:
# Take responsibility not just for your own words, but for the comments you allow on your blog.
# Label your tolerance level for abusive comments.
# Consider eliminating anonymous comments.
# Ignore the trolls.
# Take the conversation offline, and talk directly, or find an intermediary who can do so.
# If you know someone who is behaving badly, tell them so.
# Don't say anything online that you wouldn't say in person.
=== Activity: ===
# Take a look at some popular blogs and judge for yourself: Blogbar, Bildblog, Spreeblick, Basicthinking, Schockwellenreiter, Ehrensenf, Netzpolitik, Fefes Blog taken from <ref name="r2">The Ultimate Guide for Everything Twitter, www.webdesignerdepot.com/2009/03/the-ultimate-guide-for-everything-twitter/</ref>.
# Use the blog search engine Technorati (http://technorati.com/) to search for ’social web’ or any other thing you may want to look for in blogs.
== Microblogs ==
Microblogs are a relatively new phenomenon and are a special form of blogging.
The most famous microblog is Twitter, but also alternatives like Tumblr or Google Buzz exist. The main idea behind a microblog is to restrict the size of a message to 140 characters. This comes from its original connection to texting (SMS) <ref name="r5">Text messaging, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_messaging</ref>. In todays society with its general tendency toward information overflow this is a welcome trend. This is also why it is very popular with mobile devices.
Microblogging <ref name="r6">Microblogging, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microblogging</ref> is essentially a broadcast medium, meaning you write a message, which then will be broadcast to all your followers. It is not unusual that you also follow your followers. It can not only be used to exchange textual messages, but also links, images and videos.
In our class we will use it to primarily communicate class announcements.
=== Messages ===
Sent messages, sometimes also referred to as “microposts”, can either be public, so for the whole world to see, or private, i.e. only viewable for a specified group of people. Depending on the service used these options are either preset, or can be changed in settings.
As an example, when using twitter all your posts are public, while in Facebook you are able to decide for yourself with whom you’re going to share your news. You can even change publicity settings for every post individually right before sending.
Microblog messages can be submitted via SMS, instant messengers, e-mail, digital audio or simply typed straight into the web interface, and will then be sent out by the service of your choice.
One aspect that made microblogs popular as they are today for sure is mobility. Not being bound to a computer and instead being able to send out your message the moment you feel the need to has been one of the biggest selling points since the beginning.
So it’s no big surprise that, when microblogs first became popular, one of the most common ways to submit messages was via SMS. And that however is the origin of the microblogs length restrictions, adjusting the size of microposts to traditional text messages. An additional theory says another reason of choosing the length of the traditional SMS was that people are used to consuming these short texts quickly and so would more easily adopt the new online equivalent.
Nowadays clearly the most popular method of submitting is through the use of service-specific smartphone applications. Being able to quickly share messages, and pictures about events, experiences or whatever as they're happening is what really makes up the charm.
=== History ===
The first microblogs documented were known as tublelogs, and weren’t actually microblogs as we know them today. Moreover they were based on using the regular blog services, but instead of long meaningful posts they were simply being filled with hundreds of short, sometimes seeming randomly put together, text messages about the authors life, certain events or just about anything imaginable. From that example emerged basically all the microblog services we know today. In fact the idea was spreading like a wildfire so that by May 2007 there already existed 111 microblogging sites.
Founded in March 2006, Twitter is today’s most popular pure microblog service, but also Tumblr, which is focused on posting and collecting pictures, is enjoying great popularity. But also social networks contain micropost features, usually referred to as “status update”. The most popular representatives here are Facebook and Google+.
Twitter is sometimes being referred to as some type of time shifted instant messaging, since it doesn’t require you to be online and allows you to filter whose posts you want to receive.
The posts content comes from a wide range of topics covering probably every aspect of life. The most popular and posted about are personal actions and interests as well as occurring events, be it organized or natural.
Beyond that microblogs are also commonly used for communication and basic conversation. People share ideas with others of the same interests, concerns or professions.
=== Criticism ===
Critics say that the majority of microposts being sent only contain dull, meaningless messages documenting people eating, waiting, etc…
But opposing this argument, it’s not every bit of information sent through these channels that is important, but the potential it has in general.
For example it is the fastest way to spread news nowadays. In recent events there occurred several natural catastrophes and the first reports about what’s happening always reached people via twitter being posted by random people experiencing said events at the very moment.
And that’s long before news stations were able to produce and publish/send their first reports.
=== Other services ===
There are a huge number of microblogging services similar to the ones mentioned above. Additionally there are free software packages that can be used to implement microblogging services inside a private network. The most popular ones here are identi.ca and present.ly, which are often used by companies to set up a new channel for intern communication.
Services like Lifestream and Profilactic will aggregate microblogs from multiple social networks into a single list, while Ping.fm will send out your microblog to multiple networks and services.
=== Usage ===
As recent studies have shown 10% of Twitter users account for 86% of all activity on the network. Marketers running commercial microblogs for promotion of products, websites or simply their brand seem to be much more active and follow a lot more people than noncommercial equivalents.
=== Video ===
Finally for everyone interested in more about microblogs I’d like to recommend the video “[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddO9idmax0o&feature=player_embedded Twitter in Plain English]”, where the phenomenon of Twitter gets explained easily understandable for everyone.
== Podcasts ==
A podcast is a type of digital media consisting of an episodic series of audio or video files subscribed to and downloaded through web syndication or streamed online to a computer or mobile device. The word is a neologism derived from "broadcast" and "pod" from the success of the iPod, as podcasts are often listened to on portable media players.
===Variants:===
Video podcast: The same as a normal podcast, but it includes video.
Podcast novels: A podcast novel is a mix of the traditional podcast and a format called audiobook. It’s like a traditional novel but it’s delivered via RSS. The recording process is made continuously. Every time an episode is done it will be released online. Podcast novels are distributed over the Internet, commonly on a weblog.
Enhanced podcast: Enhanced podcast is also an expansion of the traditional podcast format. It includes some extra information like images displayed simultaneously. Links are also allowed to provide extra information and content.
===Platform:===
The most used platform is called iTunes. iTunes is a media player computer program, used for playing, downloading, saving, and organizing digital music content and video files on personal computers. It can also manage contents on iDevices. Other software not that popular is also available for different platforms.
A list can be viewed on: http://www.buzzmaven.com/podcast-software-list.html#Macintosh_Podcast_Software.
===Most popular Podcasts in Germany:===
The most popular podcast(audio) on iTunes is actual because of the European championship, Jogis Jungs provided by SWR 3, a Bavarian radio station.
2nd is Quarks and Co(video podcast) a scientific TV format explaining the world from the eyes of a scientist.
3rd is Wissen macht Ah! the same format like the previous one from Westdeutscher Rundfunk.
== Let's Play ==
'Let's Play' is a form of 'User Generated Content' (UGC) like screenshots or videos showing people playing a video game
=== Presentation ===
It's up to the player to decide on how to present the gaming session. <ref>http://www.kstatecollegian.com/2013/04/18/fan-fiction-more-creative-than-most-people-think/</ref><br />
When using screenshots the presentation is done in a text form. The end result is quite similar to ordinary blogs or reviews.<br />
Presentation by video offers more opportunities. The player may opt between recording his own voice of comment the video with captions.<br />
Some players use both methods, audio for their own comments and captions as a comical relief. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/user/PointyHairedJedi</ref><br />
If the player wants to reach an international audience using the english language is a must. There are however players that limit themselves to an audience speaking the same language.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/user/SarazarLP</ref><br />
Sometimes distinguishing a 'Let's play' from a video blog isn't that easy. Some players add personal information in their videos or create a distinct series for this. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/user/BohemianEagle</ref>
=== Attractivity ===
People watch 'Let's plays' out of different reason.<ref>http://kotaku.com/5927191/the-joy-of-playing-video-games-without-actually-playing-them</ref>
==== Experience ====
The skill level among a player base differs greatly. Some may have difficulties with the game mechanics and so may not be able to experience some content of the game. Others may not have to time or patience for challenging different story lines. 'let's plays' offers these people an opportunity to experience this content.
==== Availability ====
The Audience gets the opportunity to see games that are no longer available on the local market or never have been available. The audience might also us the 'let's play' to decide if they want to purchase the game or not.
==== Comfort ====
It's easier for the audience to integrate a 'let's play' in their schedule. Some games don't allow the player to save the game at any place. The gamer has to advance to the next savepoint if he doesn't want to lose the achievements he made in the meantime. A video however can be paused anytime and be resumed later.
=== Distribution ===
Apart from recording a video and uploading it to video sharing services like youtube there is the possibility using a live stream. One of the most widely used services is Twitch.tv which is specialised in streaming video games. <ref>http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20110606005437/en/Justin.tv-Launches-TwitchTV-World%E2%80%99s-Largest-Competitive-Video</ref><br />
Youtube stated that 'let's plays' and 'walkthroughs' make out nearly 50% of their videos.<ref>http://kotaku.com/gamers-you-rely-on-youtube-642009402</ref>
=== Popularity ===
The number of subscribers of some 'let's players' now exceed the one of contemporary pop-stars <ref>http://kotaku.com/one-gamer-has-more-youtube-subscribers-than-rihanna-bi-1545208809</ref> end reaches two-digit millions. Success however is not guaranteed. Success is determined by how good you can present yourself and how skilled you are with the creating and editing videos. <ref>http://www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/netzwirtschaft/let-s-play-guck-mal-wer-da-spielt-die-neue-youtube-masche-12126102.html</ref>
=== Economic Aspects ===
'Let's plays' offer the opportunity to earn money.<ref>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/video-games/10457250/Six-ways-to-make-money-playing-video-games.html</ref> In addition to earnings from ads services like twitch.tv offer further opportunities like subscriptions <ref>http://www.twitch.tv/p/partners</ref> or donations.<br />
<br />
The market in between has reached a size that makes it attractive to corporations.<br />
Twitch.tv was bought by Amazon for over 900 million US dollars.<ref>http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Video-Streaming-fuer-Gamer-Amazon-kauft-Twitch-fuer-rund-eine-Milliarde-Dollar-2302159.html</ref><br />
PC hardware manufacturers tweak their products to match the needs of 'let's players' and advertise this.<ref>http://www.golem.de/news/nvidia-shadowplay-ausprobiert-spielevideos-im-schatten-von-kepler-1310-102468.html</ref><br />
Game creators have mixed feelings about the topic. While some allow videos from their games <ref>http://worldoftanks.eu/en/content/docs/terms_of_service/</ref> others try to prohibit this <ref>http://www.golem.de/news/phil-fish-let-s-play-ist-im-grunde-piraterie-1406-107321.html</ref> or try to benefit from it. <ref>http://www.golem.de/news/mario-co-nintendo-will-nur-noch-anteil-an-let-s-play-gewinnen-1405-106803.html</ref>. <br />
Some 'let's players' are directly paid by game developers or are supported otherwise <ref>http://www.golem.de/news/let-s-player-es-gibt-spiele-fuer-die-man-bezahlt-wird-1407-107947.html</ref>.
=== Legal Aspects ===
In Germany the legal situation concerning 'let's plays' has yet not been clarified. The content of video games is protected by copyright, there is however no clarification if a 'let's player' needs the agreement of the entitled person to create videos out of the game. You can be on the safe side of you get the agreement in advance.<ref>http://spielerecht.de/lets-play-urheberrechtlich-kein-kinderspiel/</ref><br />
Some 'let's plays' are accompanied by commercial musics. Since this in most cases is a copyright violation service providers like twitch.tv are now blocking audio sections from affected videos.<ref>http://blog.twitch.tv/2014/08/3136/</ref>
== Assignments ==
=== Ex.1: Start your Blog ===
For your personal learning journal it makes sense to start a blog. If you already have one, and you want to use it that is fine. However, it may make sense to create a new one, just for this class. You may use any blog web site you like, only it should be publicly accessible, and it should allow others to leave comments. In case you have difficulties setting up a blog, check the ’HowTo’ pages. Note that your blog can be anonymous, but we the class need to know about your blog. My blog can be found under ’Social Web Ohm’ (http://socialwebohm.blogspot.com/). If you need more help, check out <ref name="r1">Blogger help, http://support.google.com/blogger/?hl=en</ref>.
=== Ex.2: Micro-Blogs: Twitter ===
For communications relating to the whole class we will be using Twitter. Follow the ’HowTo’ pages and see how to set up a Twitter account. Again, you may not want to use your real name for it. If you have already an account, you are more than welcome to use that. I have set up an account for the class: ’@SocialWebOhm’ (https://twitter.com/SocialWebOhm). Make sure you become a follower of that account, if you don’t know how to do that ask a friend. If you need some introduction / help with Twitter reference <ref name="r2"/> maybe a good starter. If your interested in some interesting Twits, reference <ref name="r8">13 “Twits” Who Will Change Your Perspective on Reality, mashable.com/2009/04/14/twitter-science/</ref> maybe interesting.
=== Ex.3: Podcasts ===
Read the wikipedia article on podcasts <ref name="r7">Podcast, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcasts</ref>. Find podcasts in an area that interests you and listen to one or two. Write about your favorite podcasts in your blog.

==Introduction==
AROS supports hard disks and optical drives attached to several interfaces:
* [[#NVMe M.2 SSD (M key)]] on the pci-e bus
* [[#SATA]] aka Serial ATA or AHCI (IDE compatibility mode used in most cases)
* IDE (also known as ATA, [[#PATA]] or Parallel ATA)
* USB
* SCSI limited
==PCI-e==
===NVMe M.2 SSD (M key)===
*Controller and firmware
*DRAM better having if heavy workloads but not necessary for gaming
*Cache like SLC HMB techniques
*NAND (Main storage area with MLC, TLC or QLC versions of varying life expectancy)
SSDs, USB flash drive, SD and Micro SD Cards have a limited amount of write cycles, therefore guaranteed to fail randomly and suddenly at any time. All SSDs are prone to corrupt firmware due to poor quality NAND where both the data and the firmware resides. The drive tends to go read only when too many errors occur before complete failure. That is up to 10 years for things like memory cards and USB sticks.
In general, unless there is a firmware design issue, cheap materials used, stress like bending or overheating causing cold solder joints, an SSD can last a long time if minimal writing activity takes place but eventually if flash isn't written to, it degrades. Catch 22.
Dram and cache are not the same thing. Dram stores the ssds indexes and metadata for faster data retrieval and wear leveling. The cache keeps part of the nand memory as SLC storage which can be written to faster. Basically all ssds will have a dynamic SLC cache where it will decrease as the drive fills up. Cache controller designs that are DRAM less use the internal SRAM cache in the controller to cache the NAND mapping table. It just requires a different mapping table design since SRAM caches are much smaller than DRAM. Ultimately the mapping table is still stored in NAND.
General rule of thumb: the cheaper an SSD, the higher the likelihood it uses lower quality flash chips so sudden failing NAND, problematic controller chips (e.g. SandForce), outsourced firmware. Generic brand like old SP, Corsair or Crucial may be recoverable whilst major brands Samsung, Intel and Western Digital are impossible due to firmware encryption and customizations. Recommend sticking with older Silicon Motion or Phison controllers if possible.
A ssd isn't good because it has dram or bad because it doesn't. Other things should be taken into account like sustained writes so check the TPU write intensive usage

==SATA==
Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI), a programming interface for SATA host controllers. Platforms supporting AHCI may take advantage of performance features such as no master/slave designation for SATA devices — each device is treated as a master — and hardware-assisted native command queuing. AHCI may but not often also provides usability enhancements such as Hot-Plug (Desktop and Mobile Only). AHCI requires appropriate software support (e.g., an AHCI driver)
AHCI, the underlying protocol for SATA, only supports one queue with 32 commands.
The issue with AHCI is that it's going to take a pile of test hardware just to figure out all the different bugs in all the motherboard chipsets and add-on PCI cards that 'kinda' implement AHCI. Not to mention Silicon Image, which took a very different approach from Intel's AHCI in their SATA controllers.

==Introduction==
AROS supports hard disks and optical drives attached to several interfaces:
* [[#NVMe M.2 SSD (M key)]] on the pci-e bus
* [[#SATA]] aka Serial ATA or AHCI (IDE compatibility mode used in most cases)
* IDE (also known as ATA, [[#PATA]] or Parallel ATA)
* USB
* SCSI limited
==PCI-e==
===NVMe M.2 SSD (M key)===
*Controller and firmware
*DRAM better having if heavy workloads but not necessary for gaming
*Cache like SLC HMB techniques
*NAND (Main storage area with MLC, TLC or QLC versions of varying life expectancy)
SSDs, USB flash drive, SD and Micro SD Cards have a limited amount of write cycles, therefore guaranteed to fail randomly and suddenly at any time. All SSDs are prone to corrupt firmware due to poor quality NAND where both the data and the firmware resides. The drive tends to go read only when too many errors occur before complete failure. That is up to 10 years for things like memory cards and USB sticks.
In general, unless there is a firmware design issue, cheap materials used, stress like bending or overheating causing cold solder joints, an SSD can last a long time if minimal writing activity takes place but eventually if flash isn't written to, it degrades. Catch 22.
Dram and cache are not the same thing. Dram stores the ssds indexes and metadata for faster data retrieval and wear leveling. The cache keeps part of the nand memory as SLC storage which can be written to faster. Basically all ssds will have a dynamic SLC cache where it will decrease as the drive fills up. Cache controller designs that are DRAM less use the internal SRAM cache in the controller to cache the NAND mapping table. It just requires a different mapping table design since SRAM caches are much smaller than DRAM. Ultimately the mapping table is still stored in NAND.
General rule of thumb: the cheaper an SSD, the higher the likelihood it uses lower quality flash chips so sudden failing NAND, problematic controller chips (e.g. SandForce), outsourced firmware. Generic brand like old SP, Corsair or Crucial may be recoverable whilst major brands Samsung, Intel and Western Digital are impossible due to firmware encryption and customizations. Recommend sticking with older Silicon Motion or Phison controllers if possible.
A ssd isn't good because it has dram or bad because it doesn't. Other things should be taken into account like sustained writes so check the TPU write intensive usage

==SATA==
Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI), a programming interface for SATA host controllers. Platforms supporting AHCI may take advantage of performance features such as no master/slave designation for SATA devices — each device is treated as a master — and hardware-assisted native command queuing. AHCI may but not often also provides usability enhancements such as Hot-Plug (Desktop and Mobile Only). AHCI requires appropriate software support (e.g., an AHCI driver)
AHCI, the underlying protocol for SATA, only supports one queue with 32 commands.
The issue with AHCI is that it's going to take a pile of test hardware just to figure out all the different bugs in all the motherboard chipsets and add-on PCI cards that 'kinda' implement AHCI. Not to mention Silicon Image, which took a very different approach from Intel's AHCI in their SATA controllers.

==Introduction==
AROS supports hard disks and optical drives attached to several interfaces:
* [[#NVMe M.2 SSD (M key)]] on the pci-e bus
* [[#SATA]] aka Serial ATA or AHCI (IDE compatibility mode used in most cases)
* IDE (also known as ATA, [[#PATA]] or Parallel ATA)
* USB
* SCSI limited
==PCI-e==
===NVMe M.2 SSD (M key)===
*Controller and firmware
*DRAM better having if heavy workloads but not necessary for gaming
*Cache like SLC HMB techniques
*NAND (Main storage area with MLC, TLC or QLC versions of varying life expectancy)
SSDs, USB flash drive, SD and Micro SD Cards have a limited amount of write cycles, therefore guaranteed to fail randomly and suddenly at any time. All SSDs are prone to corrupt firmware due to poor quality NAND where both the data and the firmware resides. The drive tends to go read only when too many errors occur before complete failure. That is up to 10 years for things like memory cards and USB sticks.
In general, unless there is a firmware design issue, cheap materials used, stress like bending or overheating causing cold solder joints, an SSD can last a long time if minimal writing activity takes place but eventually if flash isn't written to, it degrades. Catch 22.
Dram and cache are not the same thing. Dram stores the ssds indexes and metadata for faster data retrieval and wear leveling. The cache keeps part of the nand memory as SLC storage which can be written to faster. Basically all ssds will have a dynamic SLC cache where it will decrease as the drive fills up. Cache controller designs that are DRAM less use the internal SRAM cache in the controller to cache the NAND mapping table. It just requires a different mapping table design since SRAM caches are much smaller than DRAM. Ultimately the mapping table is still stored in NAND.
General rule of thumb: the cheaper an SSD, the higher the likelihood it uses lower quality flash chips so sudden failing NAND, problematic controller chips (e.g. SandForce), outsourced firmware. Generic brand like old SP, Corsair or Crucial may be recoverable whilst major brands Samsung, Intel and Western Digital are impossible due to firmware encryption and customizations. Recommend sticking with older Silicon Motion or Phison controllers if possible.
A ssd isn't good because it has dram or bad because it doesn't. Other things should be taken into account like sustained writes so check the TPU write intensive usage

==SATA==
Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI), a programming interface for SATA host controllers. Platforms supporting AHCI may take advantage of performance features such as no master/slave designation for SATA devices — each device is treated as a master — and hardware-assisted native command queuing. AHCI may but not often also provides usability enhancements such as Hot-Plug (Desktop and Mobile Only). AHCI requires appropriate software support (e.g., an AHCI driver)
AHCI, the underlying protocol for SATA, only supports one queue with 32 commands.
The issue with AHCI is that it's going to take a pile of test hardware just to figure out all the different bugs in all the motherboard chipsets and add-on PCI cards that 'kinda' implement AHCI. Not to mention Silicon Image, which took a very different approach from Intel's AHCI in their SATA controllers.

At lower capacities it might use different flash, for example the 256GB SM951 utilizies 2D/planar while the higher capacities use 3D. OEM drives tend to have different, optimized firmware, so performance will not be the same

==Introduction==
AROS supports hard disks and optical drives attached to several interfaces:
* [[#NVMe M.2 SSD (M key)]] on the pci-e bus
* [[#SATA]] aka Serial ATA or AHCI (IDE compatibility mode used in most cases)
* IDE (also known as ATA, [[#PATA]] or Parallel ATA)
* USB
* SCSI limited
==PCI-e==
===NVMe M.2 SSD (M key)===
*Controller and firmware
*DRAM better having if heavy workloads but not necessary for gaming
*Cache like SLC HMB techniques
*NAND (Main storage area with MLC, TLC or QLC versions of varying life expectancy)
SSDs, USB flash drive, SD and Micro SD Cards have a limited amount of write cycles, therefore guaranteed to fail randomly and suddenly at any time. All SSDs are prone to corrupt firmware due to poor quality NAND where both the data and the firmware resides. The drive tends to go read only when too many errors occur before complete failure. That is up to 10 years for things like memory cards and USB sticks.
In general, unless there is a firmware design issue, cheap materials used, stress like bending or overheating causing cold solder joints, an SSD can last a long time if minimal writing activity takes place but eventually if flash isn't written to, it degrades. Catch 22.
Dram and cache are not the same thing. Dram stores the ssds indexes and metadata for faster data retrieval and wear leveling. The cache keeps part of the nand memory as SLC storage which can be written to faster. Basically all ssds will have a dynamic SLC cache where it will decrease as the drive fills up. Cache controller designs that are DRAM less use the internal SRAM cache in the controller to cache the NAND mapping table. It just requires a different mapping table design since SRAM caches are much smaller than DRAM. Ultimately the mapping table is still stored in NAND.
General rule of thumb: the cheaper an SSD, the higher the likelihood it uses lower quality flash chips so sudden failing NAND, problematic controller chips (e.g. SandForce), outsourced firmware. Generic brand like old SP, Corsair or Crucial may be recoverable whilst major brands Samsung, Intel and Western Digital are impossible due to firmware encryption and customizations. Recommend sticking with older Silicon Motion or Phison controllers if possible.
A ssd isn't good because it has dram or bad because it doesn't. Other things should be taken into account like sustained writes so check the TPU write intensive usage

==SATA==
Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI), a programming interface for SATA host controllers. Platforms supporting AHCI may take advantage of performance features such as no master/slave designation for SATA devices — each device is treated as a master — and hardware-assisted native command queuing. AHCI may but not often also provides usability enhancements such as Hot-Plug (Desktop and Mobile Only). AHCI requires appropriate software support (e.g., an AHCI driver)
AHCI, the underlying protocol for SATA, only supports one queue with 32 commands.
The issue with AHCI is that it's going to take a pile of test hardware just to figure out all the different bugs in all the motherboard chipsets and add-on PCI cards that 'kinda' implement AHCI. Not to mention Silicon Image, which took a very different approach from Intel's AHCI in their SATA controllers.

At lower capacities it might use different flash, for example the 256GB SM951 utilizies 2D/planar while the higher capacities use 3D. OEM drives tend to have different, optimized firmware, so performance will not be the same

==Introduction==
AROS supports hard disks and optical drives attached to several interfaces:
* [[#NVMe M.2 SSD (M key)]] on the pci-e bus
* [[#SATA]] aka Serial ATA or AHCI (IDE compatibility mode used in most cases)
* IDE (also known as ATA, [[#PATA]] or Parallel ATA)
* USB
* SCSI limited
==PCI-e==
===NVMe M.2 SSD (M key)===
*Controller and firmware
*DRAM better having if heavy workloads but not necessary for gaming
*Cache like SLC HMB techniques
*NAND (Main storage area with MLC, TLC or QLC versions of varying life expectancy)
SSDs, USB flash drive, SD and Micro SD Cards have a limited amount of write cycles, therefore guaranteed to fail randomly and suddenly at any time. All SSDs are prone to corrupt firmware due to poor quality NAND where both the data and the firmware resides. The drive tends to go read only when too many errors occur before complete failure. That is up to 10 years for things like memory cards and USB sticks.
In general, unless there is a firmware design issue, cheap materials used, stress like bending or overheating causing cold solder joints, an SSD can last a long time if minimal writing activity takes place but eventually if flash isn't written to, it degrades. Catch 22.
Dram and cache are not the same thing. Dram stores the ssds indexes and metadata for faster data retrieval and wear leveling. The cache keeps part of the nand memory as SLC storage which can be written to faster. Basically all ssds will have a dynamic SLC cache where it will decrease as the drive fills up. Cache controller designs that are DRAM less use the internal SRAM cache in the controller to cache the NAND mapping table. It just requires a different mapping table design since SRAM caches are much smaller than DRAM. Ultimately the mapping table is still stored in NAND.
General rule of thumb: the cheaper an SSD, the higher the likelihood it uses lower quality flash chips so sudden failing NAND, problematic controller chips (e.g. SandForce), outsourced firmware. Generic brand like old SP, Corsair or Crucial may be recoverable whilst major brands Samsung, Intel and Western Digital are impossible due to firmware encryption and customizations. Recommend sticking with older Silicon Motion or Phison controllers if possible.
A ssd isn't good because it has dram or bad because it doesn't. Other things should be taken into account like sustained writes so check the TPU write intensive usage

==SATA==
Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI), a programming interface for SATA host controllers. Platforms supporting AHCI may take advantage of performance features such as no master/slave designation for SATA devices — each device is treated as a master — and hardware-assisted native command queuing. AHCI may but not often also provides usability enhancements such as Hot-Plug (Desktop and Mobile Only). AHCI requires appropriate software support (e.g., an AHCI driver)
AHCI, the underlying protocol for SATA, only supports one queue with 32 commands.
The issue with AHCI is that it's going to take a pile of test hardware just to figure out all the different bugs in all the motherboard chipsets and add-on PCI cards that 'kinda' implement AHCI. Not to mention Silicon Image, which took a very different approach from Intel's AHCI in their SATA controllers.

At lower capacities it might use different flash, for example the 256GB SM951 utilizies 2D/planar while the higher capacities use 3D. OEM drives tend to have different, optimized firmware, so performance will not be the same

==Introduction==
AROS supports hard disks and optical drives attached to several interfaces:

*Cache like SLC HMB techniques
*NAND (Main storage area with MLC, TLC or QLC versions of varying life expectancy)
SSDs, USB flash drive, SD and Micro SD Cards have a limited amount of write cycles, therefore guaranteed to fail randomly and suddenly at any time. All SSDs are prone to corrupt firmware due to poor quality NAND where both the data and the firmware resides. The drive tends to go read only when too many errors occur before complete failure. That is up to 10 years for things like memory cards and USB sticks.
In general, unless there is a firmware design issue, cheap materials used, stress like bending or overheating causing cold solder joints, an SSD can last a long time if minimal writing activity takes place but eventually if flash isn't written to, it degrades. Catch 22.
Dram and cache are not the same thing. Dram stores the ssds indexes and metadata for faster data retrieval and wear leveling. The cache keeps part of the nand memory as SLC storage which can be written to faster. Basically all ssds will have a dynamic SLC cache where it will decrease as the drive fills up. Cache controller designs that are DRAM less use the internal SRAM cache in the controller to cache the NAND mapping table. It just requires a different mapping table design since SRAM caches are much smaller than DRAM. Ultimately the mapping table is still stored in NAND.
General rule of thumb: the cheaper an SSD, the higher the likelihood it uses lower quality flash chips so sudden failing NAND, problematic controller chips (e.g. SandForce), outsourced firmware. Generic brand like old SP, Corsair or Crucial may be recoverable whilst major brands Samsung, Intel and Western Digital are impossible due to firmware encryption and customizations. Recommend sticking with older Silicon Motion or Phison controllers if possible.
A ssd isn't good because it has dram or bad because it doesn't. Other things should be taken into account like sustained writes so check the TPU write intensive usage

==SATA==
Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI), a programming interface for SATA host controllers. Platforms supporting AHCI may take advantage of performance features such as no master/slave designation for SATA devices — each device is treated as a master — and hardware-assisted native command queuing. AHCI may but not often also provides usability enhancements such as Hot-Plug (Desktop and Mobile Only). AHCI requires appropriate software support (e.g., an AHCI driver)
AHCI, the underlying protocol for SATA, only supports one queue with 32 commands.
The issue with AHCI is that it's going to take a pile of test hardware just to figure out all the different bugs in all the motherboard chipsets and add-on PCI cards that 'kinda' implement AHCI. Not to mention Silicon Image, which took a very different approach from Intel's AHCI in their SATA controllers.

PM = 3-bit MLC = TLC. 8 = generation = 8xx, 7 = model = 850 EVO (in this case), 1 = usage (e.g. 3 = datacenter). a/b = revision or type of flash, the 850 EVO had multiple revisions including at least three types of flash (32L, 48L, 64L) so a = 32/48L, b = 64L. At lower capacities it might use different flash, for example the 256GB SM951 utilizies 2D/planar while the higher capacities use 3D. OEM drives tend to have different, optimized firmware, so performance will not be the same

==Introduction==
AROS supports hard disks and optical drives attached to several interfaces:
* [[#NVMe M.2 SSD (M key)]] on the pci-e bus
* [[#SATA]] aka Serial ATA or AHCI (IDE compatibility mode used in most cases)
* IDE (also known as ATA, [[#PATA]] or Parallel ATA)
* USB
* SCSI limited
==PCI-e==
===NVMe M.2 SSD (M key)===
*Controller and firmware
*DRAM better having if heavy workloads but not necessary for gaming
*Cache like SLC HMB techniques
*NAND (Main storage area with MLC, TLC or QLC versions of varying life expectancy)
SSDs, USB flash drive, SD and Micro SD Cards have a limited amount of write cycles, therefore guaranteed to fail randomly and suddenly at any time. All SSDs are prone to corrupt firmware due to poor quality NAND where both the data and the firmware resides. The drive tends to go read only when too many errors occur before complete failure. That is up to 10 years for things like memory cards and USB sticks.
In general, unless there is a firmware design issue, cheap materials used, stress like bending or overheating causing cold solder joints, an SSD can last a long time if minimal writing activity takes place but eventually if flash isn't written to, it degrades. Catch 22.
Dram and cache are not the same thing. Dram stores the ssds indexes and metadata for faster data retrieval and wear leveling. The cache keeps part of the nand memory as SLC storage which can be written to faster. Basically all ssds will have a dynamic SLC cache where it will decrease as the drive fills up. Cache controller designs that are DRAM less use the internal SRAM cache in the controller to cache the NAND mapping table. It just requires a different mapping table design since SRAM caches are much smaller than DRAM. Ultimately the mapping table is still stored in NAND.
General rule of thumb: the cheaper an SSD, the higher the likelihood it uses lower quality flash chips so sudden failing NAND, problematic controller chips (e.g. SandForce), outsourced firmware. Generic brand like old SP, Corsair or Crucial may be recoverable whilst major brands Samsung, Intel and Western Digital are impossible due to firmware encryption and customizations. Recommend sticking with older Silicon Motion or Phison controllers if possible.
A ssd isn't good because it has dram or bad because it doesn't. Other things should be taken into account like sustained writes so check the TPU write intensive usage

==SATA==
Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI), a programming interface for SATA host controllers. Platforms supporting AHCI may take advantage of performance features such as no master/slave designation for SATA devices — each device is treated as a master — and hardware-assisted native command queuing. AHCI may but not often also provides usability enhancements such as Hot-Plug (Desktop and Mobile Only). AHCI requires appropriate software support (e.g., an AHCI driver)
AHCI, the underlying protocol for SATA, only supports one queue with 32 commands.
The issue with AHCI is that it's going to take a pile of test hardware just to figure out all the different bugs in all the motherboard chipsets and add-on PCI cards that 'kinda' implement AHCI. Not to mention Silicon Image, which took a very different approach from Intel's AHCI in their SATA controllers.

==Introduction==
AROS supports hard disks and optical drives attached to several interfaces:
* [[#NVMe M.2 SSD (M key)]] on the pci-e bus
* [[#SATA]] aka Serial ATA or AHCI (IDE compatibility mode used in most cases)
* IDE (also known as ATA, [[#PATA]] or Parallel ATA)
* USB
* SCSI limited
==PCI-e==
===NVMe M.2 SSD (M key)===
*Controller and firmware
*DRAM better having if heavy workloads but not necessary for gaming
*Cache like SLC HMB techniques
*NAND (Main storage area with MLC, TLC or QLC versions of varying life expectancy)
SSDs, USB flash drive, SD and Micro SD Cards have a limited amount of write cycles, therefore guaranteed to fail randomly and suddenly at any time. All SSDs are prone to corrupt firmware due to poor quality NAND where both the data and the firmware resides. The drive tends to go read only when too many errors occur before complete failure. That is up to 10 years for things like memory cards and USB sticks.
In general, unless there is a firmware design issue, cheap materials used, stress like bending or overheating causing cold solder joints, an SSD can last a long time if minimal writing activity takes place but eventually if flash isn't written to, it degrades. Catch 22.
Dram and cache are not the same thing. Dram stores the ssds indexes and metadata for faster data retrieval and wear leveling. The cache keeps part of the nand memory as SLC storage which can be written to faster. Basically all ssds will have a dynamic SLC cache where it will decrease as the drive fills up. Cache controller designs that are DRAM less use the internal SRAM cache in the controller to cache the NAND mapping table. It just requires a different mapping table design since SRAM caches are much smaller than DRAM. Ultimately the mapping table is still stored in NAND.
General rule of thumb: the cheaper an SSD, the higher the likelihood it uses lower quality flash chips so sudden failing NAND, problematic controller chips (e.g. SandForce), outsourced firmware. Generic brand like old SP, Corsair or Crucial may be recoverable whilst major brands Samsung, Intel and Western Digital are impossible due to firmware encryption and customizations. Recommend sticking with older Silicon Motion or Phison controllers if possible.
A ssd isn't good because it has dram or bad because it doesn't. Other things should be taken into account like sustained writes so check the TPU write intensive usage

==SATA==
Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI), a programming interface for SATA host controllers. Platforms supporting AHCI may take advantage of performance features such as no master/slave designation for SATA devices — each device is treated as a master — and hardware-assisted native command queuing. AHCI may but not often also provides usability enhancements such as Hot-Plug (Desktop and Mobile Only). AHCI requires appropriate software support (e.g., an AHCI driver)
AHCI, the underlying protocol for SATA, only supports one queue with 32 commands.
The issue with AHCI is that it's going to take a pile of test hardware just to figure out all the different bugs in all the motherboard chipsets and add-on PCI cards that 'kinda' implement AHCI. Not to mention Silicon Image, which took a very different approach from Intel's AHCI in their SATA controllers.

==Introduction==
AROS supports hard disks and optical drives attached to several interfaces:
* [[#NVMe M.2 SSD (M key)]] on the pci-e bus
* [[#SATA]] aka Serial ATA or AHCI (IDE compatibility mode used in most cases)
* IDE (also known as ATA, [[#PATA]] or Parallel ATA)
* USB
* SCSI limited
==PCI-e==
===NVMe M.2 SSD (M key)===
*Controller and firmware
*DRAM better having if heavy workloads but not necessary for gaming
*Cache like SLC HMB techniques
*NAND (Main storage area with MLC, TLC or QLC versions of varying life expectancy)
SSDs, USB flash drive, SD and Micro SD Cards have a limited amount of write cycles, therefore guaranteed to fail randomly and suddenly at any time. All SSDs are prone to corrupt firmware due to poor quality NAND where both the data and the firmware resides. The drive tends to go read only when too many errors occur before complete failure. That is up to 10 years for things like memory cards and USB sticks.
In general, unless there is a firmware design issue, cheap materials used, stress like bending or overheating causing cold solder joints, an SSD can last a long time if minimal writing activity takes place but eventually if flash isn't written to, it degrades. Catch 22.
Dram and cache are not the same thing. Dram stores the ssds indexes and metadata for faster data retrieval and wear leveling. The cache keeps part of the nand memory as SLC storage which can be written to faster. Basically all ssds will have a dynamic SLC cache where it will decrease as the drive fills up. Cache controller designs that are DRAM less use the internal SRAM cache in the controller to cache the NAND mapping table. It just requires a different mapping table design since SRAM caches are much smaller than DRAM. Ultimately the mapping table is still stored in NAND.
General rule of thumb: the cheaper an SSD, the higher the likelihood it uses lower quality flash chips so sudden failing NAND, problematic controller chips (e.g. SandForce), outsourced firmware. Generic brand like old SP, Corsair or Crucial may be recoverable whilst major brands Samsung, Intel and Western Digital are impossible due to firmware encryption and customizations. Recommend sticking with older Silicon Motion or Phison controllers if possible.
A ssd isn't good because it has dram or bad because it doesn't. Other things should be taken into account like sustained writes so check the TPU write intensive usage

==SATA==
Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI), a programming interface for SATA host controllers. Platforms supporting AHCI may take advantage of performance features such as no master/slave designation for SATA devices — each device is treated as a master — and hardware-assisted native command queuing. AHCI may but not often also provides usability enhancements such as Hot-Plug (Desktop and Mobile Only). AHCI requires appropriate software support (e.g., an AHCI driver)
AHCI, the underlying protocol for SATA, only supports one queue with 32 commands.
The issue with AHCI is that it's going to take a pile of test hardware just to figure out all the different bugs in all the motherboard chipsets and add-on PCI cards that 'kinda' implement AHCI. Not to mention Silicon Image, which took a very different approach from Intel's AHCI in their SATA controllers.

<div style="font-size:medium; color:#08457E;">
* These are stamps from meters used in government sponsored tests in actual mailings before meters were approved for general public use.
* An early prototype meter developed by Elmer Wolf and William Scott of Dayton, Ohio was patented in 1898 but was never tested by the government. The Wolf/Scott stamp is cataloged as essay type ESY-A1.
[[File: USA Pitney Postal Machine postage stamp.jpg|right|400px]]
* A meter-like device built by the Pitney Postal Machine Company was used on live mail. It was used from November 1903 to March 1904 on Official mail generated in the Office of the Third Assistant Postmaster-General, Washington D.C. The stamp is essentially a numbered "Official Mail" penalty statement and does not indicate postage paid. The stamp consists of a penalty statement above a boxed serial number. (<i>shown at right</i>) It is uncertain how many original examples of this stamp exist. Two proofs on cover are known. Three "postally used" examples were mentioned several decades ago by Swan. If they ever existed their status is unknown today.
[[File: USA stamp type Pitney Postal Machine reprint front.jpg|right|400px]]
* Approximately 30 impressions of the Pitney prototype stamp were made decades later by Charles W. Rummler, the son of Arthur Pitney's patent attorney and business partner Eugene A. Rummler. The reprints are on small cards and have handwritten "<i>C.W.R.</i>" (most of them) or "<i>C.W.Rummler</i>" (one known) in the box instead of a serial number.

* Count Detalmo di Brazza Savorgnan of Rome, Italy received patents on 30 June and 28 July 1896 for a "coin-freed letter posting or stamping machine". Three and perhaps four di Brazza self-service machines were on public trial in New York City for several months during 1897. Their purpose was to provide mail service while post offices were closed.

<span style="color:#417DC1; font-size:xx-large">'''Meter and Permit Numbers'''</span>
<div style="font-size:medium">In order to use a postage meter, a customer must obtain a permit from his local post office. A postage meter can then be rented from a meter manufacturer. In practice a customer can approach the meter company first. The company will then obtain the permit for their new customer. Both the permit and the meter number are registered with the post office.
All early meter stamps showed both the permit number and the manufacturer's meter number. After 9 May 1929, the permit number was no longer required if the stamp included the meter number. Meter stamps showing a permit number have not been used in decades.
The meter number identities the actual postage meter machine. Meter numbers often have a letter prefix that identities the meter manufacturer. Meter numbers generally run in series. The series often identifies the meter model. The meter number does not necessarily change when the stamp design changes. Different meter stamp design types are known with the same meter number generated before and after the print head was changed.

<span style="font-size:xx-large; color:#417DC1">'''Ink colors and fluorescence'''</span>
<span style="font-size:large">'''Colors of Inks:'''</span>
<div style="font-size:medium">The most commonly used color for meter stamps is red although other colors are often used. With modern digital meters blue is becoming more common and appears to be overtaking red as the most used color. The earliest meters, which could print only a single postage value were required to use ink colors that matched the colors used to print the same denominations of regular adhesive stamps: l¢ green, 2¢ red, 3¢ violet, etc. The only exception was for the 5¢ meter stamp which had to be in red instead of blue. Five cents was the basic first class rate on international mail in the 1920s, and such mail had to be franked in red according to Universal Postal Union regulations at the time.
With the introduction of the first multi-denomination meters in 1929, the Post Office Department relaxed the rules regarding meter ink colors. Multi-denomination meters were allowed to print all stamps in the same color. The only exception was that postage below 2¢ in value could not be printed in red.
In practice soon after the 1920s a wide variety of colors were used indiscriminately with red just being the most common.
Each manufacturer has its own particular shades of colors. By manufacturer they are (from most common to least):
* '''Pitney-Bowes''':[[File:MeterCat 5 spaces.jpg|12px]] red, salmon, black, blue, green, brown, violet, orange
* '''Friden''':[[File:MeterCat 5 spaces.jpg|12px]] red, red-violet, black, blue, green, orange
* '''Postalia''':[[File:MeterCat 5 spaces.jpg|12px]] red, black, blue, green, brown

Many other color varieties exist. They are caused by the use of non-standard inks and by mixing inks. In a few instances, multi-colored impressions have been produced by applying different colored inks to separate areas of the ink roller.

<span style="font-size:large">'''Fluorescent Inks:'''</span>
<div style="font-size:medium">In order to speed up the sorting, facing, and postmarking of mail, in the early 1960's the U.S. Postal Service began experimenting with luminescent (fluorescent and phosphorescent) coatings on adhesive stamps. With meters, experiments using fluorescent inks were carried out by Pitney-Bowes in the late 1960's. In September 1972, Pitney-Bowes was awarded a contract from the U.S.P.S to distribute special samples of a machine-detectable postage meter ink to 240,000 meter users. Metered mail using this fluorescent ink can be detected by the same sorting and facing equipment used for postage stamps. Therefore, those pieces of metered mail not bundled by the mailer can be sorted and faced together with ordinary adhesive stamped mail.
Fluorescent ink has been required for all metered mail in the United States since 1 July 1973. Pitney-Bowes' fluorescent ink often shows up poorly as a salmon pink color. Friden's fluorescent ink is frequently a red-violet color.

<font size=6><span style="color:#417DC1>'''Surcharge slugs'''</span></font>
<div style="font-size:medium">Beginning in 1963 new postal rates required unusual postage values that incorporated fractions of a cent. None of the meters in use at the time could print these fractional values. While new, more versatile meters were being developed meter manufacturers supplied customers with surcharge slugs to show that the extra fractional value was accounted for. Meter users paid for the fractional values by providing the Post Office with sheets of paper with meter stamps affixed totaling that fractional values used.
Surcharge slugs usually included the mail classification such as "Bulk Rate" or "Nonprofit Organization" as well as the fractional value.

<font size=6><span style="color:#417DC1>'''Rarity and Value'''</span></font>
<div style="font-size:medium">Many stamps in the catalog are assigned an availability factor as follows:
* [[File:MeterCat 5 spaces.jpg|4px]][C] [[File:MeterCat 5 spaces.jpg|12px]] Common to fairly common
* [[File:MeterCat 5 spaces.jpg|4px]][S] [[File:MeterCat 5 spaces.jpg|12px]] Scarce
* [[File:MeterCat 5 spaces.jpg|4px]][R] [[File:MeterCat 5 spaces.jpg|12px]] Rare, difficult to find
* [[File:MeterCat 5 spaces.jpg|4px]][RR] [[File:MeterCat 5 spaces.jpg|12px]] Very rare
* [[File:MeterCat 5 spaces.jpg|4px]][RRR] [[File:MeterCat 5 spaces.jpg|12px]] Exceptionally rare
* [[File:MeterCat 5 spaces.jpg|4px]][RRRR] [[File:MeterCat 5 spaces.jpg|12px]] Extremely rare to unique
For those stamps where the availability is unknown a range such as [RR-RRRR] may be used.
These availability factors are estimates based on a 1994 Meter Stamp Society survey of the largest collections known at the time plus our own decades of buying and selling experience.
Dollar values are not provided because they are unreliable and go out of date quickly. For what it's worth, here are my personal estimates of 2016 dollar values for nice examples of items in each category.
:: [C] [[File:MeterCat 5 spaces.jpg|12px]] free to $5
:: [S] [[File:MeterCat 5 spaces.jpg|12px]] free to $15
:: [R] [[File:MeterCat 5 spaces.jpg|12px]] $5 to $35
:: [RR] [[File:MeterCat 5 spaces.jpg|12px]] $10 to $75
:: [RRR] [[File:MeterCat 5 spaces.jpg|12px]] $20 to $150
:: [RRRR] [[File:MeterCat 5 spaces.jpg|12px]] $25 to thousands
Notice both the wide ranges and the overlap. Minor varieties, even if extremely rare do not sell for thousands of dollars, and really fine examples of relatively common items can bring several tens of dollars.
Stamps without an availability factor are nearly always [C] but with some of them I just don't know.

'''NOTE''': ''All the stamps listed here are valid only on the date generated. PC stamps with unrestricted validity, i.e. savable for future use, are more like traditional stamps than meter stamps and thus are not cataloged here. PC stamps with unrestricted validity are cataloged in '''<i>USA: Variable Denomination Stamps (1989-2020)</i>''' by Karim Roder (available on Amazon).''
* Group PC stamps can vary considerably in size, font styles, and color within the same stamp type depending on personal printer settings, available fonts, etc. Size variations or colors other than black are unusual but are user controlled variables.
* The stamps are found on plain paper and adhesive labels depending on what the user has in his printer. Self-adhesive labels are sold by the various PC stamp companies and also by outside vendors. These labels exist both with and without fluorescent tagging. As with color and font, paper or label type is a user controlled variable, however to a great extent the parameters are set by United States Postal Service ( see: https://postalpro.usps.com/parcellabelingguide). It is recommended that the collector save the '''entire label'''.
* PC stamps are often found in a frame at the top right of large address labels. To the left of the stamp is a smaller frame containing a large letter or number representing the class of mail. Codes found are: "'''1'''" (first class), "'''fcm'''" (first class), "'''P'''" (priority), "'''E'''" (express), "'''M'''" (media), "'''T'''" (parcel post), solid block (media, or other), "'''H'''" (Hazardous), "'''G'''" (Ground Advantage), "'''X'''" (Media). Not all the codes are found with all the stamp types that use the labels.
* 2-Dimensional barcodes occur in two major types and several subtypes:
::::: PDF417 A horizontally stacked 2-dimensional barcode, each consists of 2 punctuators, 2 indicators and a variable number of data blocks.
:::::: subvariety PDF417(4) has 4 datablocks [[File: PDF417-224.png|right|250px]]
:::::: subvariety PDF417(6) has 6 datablocks [[File: PDF417-226.png|right|275px]]
:::::: subvariety PDF417(7) has 7 datablocks [[File: PDF417-227.png|right|300px]]

:::::: subvariety PDF417(9) has 9 datablocks [[File: PDF417-229.png|right|375px]]
:::::: subvariety PDF417(12) has 12 datablocks [[File: PDF417-2212.png|right|400px]]
::::: Data matrix is a 2 dimensional barcode consisting of square or rectangular data blocks
:::::: subvariety DM-2H ("'''IBI-Lite'''") has 2 datablocks arranged horizontally [[File: DM-2HZ.png|right|100px]]
:::::: subvariety DM-2V ("'''IBI-Lite'''") has 2 datablocks arranged vertically [[File: DM-2VR.png|right|50px]]
:::::: subvariety DM-4 has 4 datablocks arranged as a square [[File: DM-4SQ.png|right|100px]]
* PC stamps on labels the sizes of which are recommended by the '''USPS''', the sizes are 4 inches by 6 inches ('''FS''') in two subvarieties, 4 inches by 4 inches ('''FF'''), 6 inches by 2 inches ('''ST'''), and a form for customs declaration included. Many illustrations in the listings are of size 'FS' but with only one or two of the 5 or six horizontal sections of the label.

* All stamps have large, negative “e” logo at top right and "PDF417" bar code across the bottom with identification number at bottom right.
* "US Postage" and date are at top center, usually below a mail classification statement.
* Found both with and without FIM barcode at top left and also with and without slogan or directional slug at left.
* One hundred FD covers were prepared by E-Stamp in cooperation with the National Postal Museum on March 31, 1998. Trials took place for several more months. The first day of national availability was September 27, 1999.
* Although we must assume other mail classes were available, only '''First Class''', '''First-Class''', '''Priority''', and '''Priority Mail''' have been reported.
* E-stamp ceased operations at the end of 2000.

{{font/top|size=3|color=#0018A8}}
* The earlier stamps show logos consisting of an eagle's head and wing. Later stamps are generic, text and bar code only, but most include "Pitney Bowes" in the design. One stamp, Type PC-D4, does not include the company name and is identifiable as a Pitney Bowes product only by the identification number with "02" prefix.
* Identification number prefixes seen so far are 022P, 024P, 022W, 026W and 071P.
* Pitney Bowes PC stamps began field testing in the Washington DC area in December 1998.

{{font/top|size=3|color=#0018A8}}
* All the stamps have a generic design, bar code and text. The earlier stamps include "endicia.com" in the design and later ones are identifiable only by the identification number which is most commonly 071V although 071M and 071S are also found. From 2024 on, 062, and 063 are also found. An exception is Type PC-E2.2, Sub-type A, which does not show an identification number.
* When first released (February 2001) the system was labeled by Indicia as "'''DAZzle 2000'''".
* On November 18, 2015 Stamps.com (see Sub-group PC-C) acquired Endicia. In 2024, Stamps.com and Endicia were once again seperate, being individual divisions under a holding company.

* Shipping labels with '''E-Postage''', '''ePostage''', '''ePOSTAGE''' and other variants in the frank were first reported in 2011. They are used by online commerce companies with business volumes large enough to justify special arrangements with shippers such as USPS, FedX, and UPS.
* E-Postage is a program developed by USPS to accommodate the growth of ecommerce. Online merchants such as Amazon and Etsy use ePostage. In 2016 new company Shippo began operation as a shipping aggregator offering ePostage to any business.
* The stamps appear to be more like "post paid" permit stamps rather than metered mail but are shown here until we determine their exact nature.
[[File: USA stamp type PC-F2.jpg|right|500px]]
[[File: USA stamp type PC-F14.jpg|right|500px]]
[[File: USA stamp type PC-F1bb.jpeg|right|300px]]
* The stamps are found only on address labels with the top section having an enclosed mail-service letter at left and a frank box at right above a panel containing the mail class.
: The central section contains the return address, date, and addressee.
: The stamps show no value figures or identification number.
: The labels do include a tracking bar code and number.
: So far they have been found in two general formats:
:: '''-''' With single-line border surrounding the complete design, printed on label 135 mm tall
:: '''-''' With no outer border, printed on smaller label, 115 mm tall
* Known variations:
:: '''-''' Mail class appears in the frank box
:: '''-''' Incomplete box around mail-service letter at upper left
:: '''-''' Mailer's name repeated at top outside the frank box
:: '''-''' "ComBasPrice" appearing left of the frank box
'''NOTES''':
* Merchants have some control over the appearance of the stamp. The e-Postage designation is found in different fonts. The frank box is found in a variety of sizes with contents left justified or centered.
* When inaugurated in September 2011 only certain mail services were available through e-Postage system: Express Mail, Priority Mail, First-Class Mail parcels, Package Services (except Library Mail), and Parcel Select bar-coded non-presort.
* What is common to all e-Postage stamps is that the frank box contains e-Postage (or variant), U.S. POSTAGE PAID (or variant), and the mailer's identification.

'''NOTE''': ''All the stamps listed here are valid only on the date generated. PC stamps with unrestricted validity, i.e. savable for future use, are more like traditional stamps than meter stamps and thus are not cataloged here. PC stamps with unrestricted validity are cataloged in '''<i>USA: Variable Denomination Stamps (1989-2020)</i>''' by Karim Roder (available on Amazon).''
* Group PC stamps can vary considerably in size, font styles, and color within the same stamp type depending on personal printer settings, available fonts, etc. Size variations or colors other than black are unusual but are user controlled variables.
* The stamps are found on plain paper and adhesive labels depending on what the user has in his printer. Self-adhesive labels are sold by the various PC stamp companies and also by outside vendors. These labels exist both with and without fluorescent tagging. As with color and font, paper or label type is a user controlled variable, however to a great extent the parameters are set by United States Postal Service ( see: https://postalpro.usps.com/parcellabelingguide). It is recommended that the collector save the '''entire label'''.
* PC stamps are often found in a frame at the top right of large address labels. To the left of the stamp is a smaller frame containing a large letter or number representing the class of mail. Codes found are: "'''1'''" (first class), "'''fcm'''" (first class), "'''P'''" (priority), "'''E'''" (express), "'''M'''" (media), "'''T'''" (parcel post), solid block (media, or other), "'''H'''" (Hazardous), "'''G'''" (Ground Advantage), "'''X'''" (Media). Not all the codes are found with all the stamp types that use the labels.
* 2-Dimensional barcodes occur in two major types and several subtypes:
::::: PDF417 A horizontally stacked 2-dimensional barcode, each consists of 2 punctuators, 2 indicators and a variable number of data blocks.
:::::: subvariety PDF417(4) has 4 datablocks [[File: PDF417-224.png|right|250px]]

::::: Data matrix is a 2 dimensional barcode consisting of square or rectangular data blocks
:::::: subvariety DM-2H ("'''IBI-Lite'''") has 2 datablocks arranged horizontally [[File: DM-2HZ.png|right|100px]]
:::::: subvariety DM-2V ("'''IBI-Lite'''") has 2 datablocks arranged vertically [[File: DM-2VR.png|right|50px]]
:::::: subvariety DM-4 has 4 datablocks arranged as a square [[File: DM-4SQ.png|right|100px]]
* PC stamps on labels the sizes of which are recommended by the '''USPS''', the sizes are 4 inches by 6 inches ('''FS''') in two subvarieties, 4 inches by 4 inches ('''FF'''), 6 inches by 2 inches ('''ST'''), and a form for customs declaration included. Many illustrations in the listings are of size 'FS' but with only one or two of the 5 or six horizontal sections of the label.

* All stamps have large, negative “e” logo at top right and "PDF417" bar code across the bottom with identification number at bottom right.
* "US Postage" and date are at top center, usually below a mail classification statement.
* Found both with and without FIM barcode at top left and also with and without slogan or directional slug at left.
* One hundred FD covers were prepared by E-Stamp in cooperation with the National Postal Museum on March 31, 1998. Trials took place for several more months. The first day of national availability was September 27, 1999.
* Although we must assume other mail classes were available, only '''First Class''', '''First-Class''', '''Priority''', and '''Priority Mail''' have been reported.
* E-stamp ceased operations at the end of 2000.

* The stamp designs are quite different from each other. One has a four-pointed star logo, two have a torch in hand logo, and one has no logo. Even the bar codes are dissimilar.
* Neopost was the second company to enter the PC postage business with an experimental design sometime in early 1998. Circumstances of the trial remain unknown to us.
* Stamps are found both with and without FIM barcode at top left. Examples are not known with slogan or slug.

: The design shows at top right two horizontal bars with "U.S. POSTAGE" above the top one and the town line below the bottom one. Between the bars at right are a torch-in-hand logo left of small "U.S. POSTAGE" reading up. Also between the ars are the class of mail, the value figures (centered), and the date.

* The earlier stamps show logos consisting of an eagle's head and wing. Later stamps are generic, text and bar code only, but most include "Pitney Bowes" in the design. One stamp, Type PC-D4, does not include the company name and is identifiable as a Pitney Bowes product only by the identification number with "02" prefix.
* Identification number prefixes seen so far are 022P, 024P, 022W, 026W and 071P.
* Pitney Bowes PC stamps began field testing in the Washington DC area in December 1998.

{{font/top|size=3|color=#0018A8}}
* All the stamps have a generic design, bar code and text. The earlier stamps include "endicia.com" in the design and later ones are identifiable only by the identification number which is most commonly 071V although 071M and 071S are also found. From 2024 on, 062, and 063 are also found. An exception is Type PC-E2.2, Sub-type A, which does not show an identification number.
* When first released (February 2001) the system was labeled by Indicia as "'''DAZzle 2000'''".
* On November 18, 2015 Stamps.com (see Sub-group PC-C) acquired Endicia. In 2024, Stamps.com and Endicia were once again seperate, being individual divisions under a holding company.

* Shipping labels with '''E-Postage''', '''ePostage''', '''ePOSTAGE''' and other variants in the frank were first reported in 2011. They are used by online commerce companies with business volumes large enough to justify special arrangements with shippers such as USPS, FedX, and UPS.
* E-Postage is a program developed by USPS to accommodate the growth of ecommerce. Online merchants such as Amazon and Etsy use ePostage. In 2016 new company Shippo began operation as a shipping aggregator offering ePostage to any business.
* The stamps appear to be more like "post paid" permit stamps rather than metered mail but are shown here until we determine their exact nature.
[[File: USA stamp type PC-F2.jpg|right|500px]]
[[File: USA stamp type PC-F14.jpg|right|500px]]
[[File: USA stamp type PC-F1bb.jpeg|right|300px]]
* The stamps are found only on address labels with the top section having an enclosed mail-service letter at left and a frank box at right above a panel containing the mail class.
: The central section contains the return address, date, and addressee.
: The stamps show no value figures or identification number.
: The labels do include a tracking bar code and number.
: So far they have been found in two general formats:
:: '''-''' With single-line border surrounding the complete design, printed on label 135 mm tall
:: '''-''' With no outer border, printed on smaller label, 115 mm tall
* Known variations:
:: '''-''' Mail class appears in the frank box
:: '''-''' Incomplete box around mail-service letter at upper left
:: '''-''' Mailer's name repeated at top outside the frank box
:: '''-''' "ComBasPrice" appearing left of the frank box
'''NOTES''':
* Merchants have some control over the appearance of the stamp. The e-Postage designation is found in different fonts. The frank box is found in a variety of sizes with contents left justified or centered.
* When inaugurated in September 2011 only certain mail services were available through e-Postage system: Express Mail, Priority Mail, First-Class Mail parcels, Package Services (except Library Mail), and Parcel Select bar-coded non-presort.
* What is common to all e-Postage stamps is that the frank box contains e-Postage (or variant), U.S. POSTAGE PAID (or variant), and the mailer's identification.

* Meter stamps essays are experimental designs that were either abandoned or changed in some way before being approved for use. Experimental designs that reach field testing or production intact are known as pre-production proofs.
* Meter stamp essays are almost universally rare with some being unique and others unknown in collectors' hands.
* In previous editions of the catalog essays were divided into three sub-groups based on the meter model the designs were prepared for (abandoned, eventually sanctioned, or non-USA origin). Because many essays are not associated with any particular meter model the current edition of the catalog abandons that scheme and uses one based on the developmental era in which the essays were introduced, as follows:
{|
|-
|style="color:08457E"|
:: '''A. {{space|3}} Before meters were approved for general use in 1920'''
:: '''B. {{space|3}} Early competitive development, 1921 to 1938'''
:: '''C. {{space|3}} Later competitive development (mechanical meters), 1938 to 1990s'''
:: '''D. {{space|3}} Digital meters, 1980 to date'''
|}
* It is likely that more essays were created than are listed here. Most may be lost forever as meter companies went out of business and their records eventually being lost or destroyed. Others may still exist lurking in company archives or in the memorabilia of active and former employees.

<span style="font-family:Courier;">'''A word about <u>Proofs</u>'''. Visually they are identical to approved, issued stamps. Those generated before the stamp design was released are technically essays but are categorized as '''pre-production proofs''' and are not included in the ESY Group. Collectors should be aware of them however since they are generally quite rare and have significance. See the article about Essays/Specimens/Proofs in the '''''Information for collectors''''' section of the catalog.</span>

'''ESY-AA1. Elmer E. Wolf and William A. Scott''', 1898. {{space|3}}[—]
: In 1898, Elmer Wolf and William Scott experimented with a meter machine that was promoted as offering security from postage theft. No record could be found of it being submitted to the Post Office Department for consideration.
: The illustration is from patent drawings. No actual examples of the stamp are known to exist. The stamp would have been printed on horizontal tape displaying the time, date, firm name, postage amount, and accumulated postage used. The machine was capable of printing nine different postage values.

'''ESY-AB1.2. Pitney Postal Machine''', 1902. {{space|3}}[RRRR]
: Similar to Pitney's 1901 circular design but the value ornaments at the sides have been moved to the bottom where they flank a panel containing the postage value spelled out. At bottom are “LICENSE / 264”.

: Double two-lined oval design with "A PENALTY OF $300 IS FIXED / BY LAW FOR USING THIS ENVELOPE TO" in two lines at top and "AVOID PAYMENT OF POSTAGE / ON PRIVATE MATTER." in two lines at bottom. No postage value shows. In the center is a five digit impression counter number.
: This "official mail" design was submitted for a test proposed by the Post Office Department. It was rejected as too large for the small envelopes expected to be used for the trial.
: It is not known how many, if any, examples of this stamp exist today.

'''ESY-AC1. American Postage Meter Co.''', 1913. {{space|3}}[—]
: Gummed tape with value figures at top followed by "PARCEL POST", "PERMIT 42", 4-digit impression counter number, "X.Y. CO.", "CHICAGO, ILL.", and the date.
: Multi-denomination machine capable of printing 1, 2, and 5 cent values. The tapes were to be in different colors with the value figures applied in black.
: The illustration was taken from patent drawings. The color is added. No actual examples of the stamp are known to exist.</div>

'''ESY-AC2. American Postage Meter Co.''', 1913. {{space|3}}[—]
: Shield shape design with inner rectangle very similar to Type AB1. In fact the appears to be a modification of the same die with town line changed to "CHICAGO,ILL." and with the permit number changed to a solid block. This essay is probably a transitional design toward Type AB2.
: The illustration was taken from a newspaper photo. It is unlikely that actual examples exist.</div>

[[File: USA meter stamp ESY-AC3p1.jpg|right|650px]]
: Sheet of paper with two stamp designs hand drawn in ink by Arthur Pitney. One design is circular and closely resembles essay Type ESY-AD3.2 below. The other is similar to Type ESY-AC3.3 below.
: {{space|3}}This sheet and the others shown as Types ESY-AC3.2 through AC3.6 are all hand drawn by Mr. Pitney. Only one of each exists.
: {{space|3}}All the AC3 series of essays include "CERTIFIED POSTAGE" in their designs. The use of this phrase was unlikely to have meant Certified Mail service but instead to identify the stamps as actual postage. At the time Pitney created these designs he was struggling to convince skeptical U.S. postal officials that a stamp from a postage meter could be trusted and reliable.</div>

: The frank consists of seven horizontal wavy lines with text interlaced: "FIRST-CLASS MAIL / POSTAGE 2c PAID / P. No.2327". At left, reading up, is the meter number. Two meter numbers known:
:: '''A'''. M-2753 in black on irregular sheet {{space|3}}[One example reported]
:: '''B'''. M.2758 in red {{space|3}}[Two examples reported, one on unaddressed cover and one cut-out]
: This stamp design was used in the demonstration of the Model "M" meter for the Post Office Department in 1920. The machine was approved, but the stamp design was changed to a square with wavy lines at the sides, Type B1 in this catalog.
: Double circle town mark reads "NEW YORK, N.Y." at top and "HUDSON TERM. STA." at bottom.

<div style="font-size:medium; color=green;">'''''Essays in the ESY-BA5 series''' (-BA5.1 through -BA5.13) were created for Pitney Bowes' Model HX meter. Each of the thirteen essays exists either as a hand-drawn image in pencil or ink on tracing paper mounted on card or drawn directly on the card stock in ink. These large essays measure approximately 3½ by 3¾ inches in size. Five of the designs were converted into metal dies which were used to print normal size stamps with town mark.''<p>''The purpose of these essays is not fully understood. The HX model first came into use in 1932, but the metal die ESY-BA5 essays have year date 1938. The HX model was old technology by that date. It is possible the year date is random and the essays were created in 1932 while working toward an appropriate design for the HX machine. Another possibility is that the dateless engineering drawings were created in 1932 but the steel die printed stamps were produced years later as souvenirs or for another purpose. All the metal die stamps have town mark "EL PASO / TEXAS" and are dated April 11, May 3, or May 11 1938. ''</p></div>

: Two examples of this stamp are known, one on an unaddressed cover and the other on an addressed cover. Both stamps have the same date and time, September 8, 1922, 11:30 am, and the addressed cover has return address in New York City although the meter stamp shows "DETROIT / MICH." which is where Mail-O-Meter was located.

{{drop|S}}everal dozen companies have manufactured and or sold postage meters in the U.S. Most did not last long either going out of business or being acquired by larger companies. By the early 2000s only four meter manufacturers, Pitney Bowes, Neopost, Hasler, and Francotyp-Postalia played large roles in the U.S. postage meter market. Several new companies entered the market in the 2000s and 2010s but only one, Data-Pac, was a manufacturer of hardware postage meters, the others providing online (PC) franking services only.

...f5 parries the threat of Qf7# by obstructing the queen's vision of the f7 square. It also attacks White's e-pawn, and if Black is able to remove it, they might be able to play d5 and take over the centre.
'''5. exf5?!''', thinking to clear the obstruction, is inaccurate, ultimately because it gives up control of the d5 square.

Instead Black should prepare ...d5 with 5...Nd4 first. This is a double attack on White's queen and the c3 square (threatening ...Nxc3+, Black wins the rook by a fork). Then:
* 6. Qd1 to defend the c3 square is most natural, which allows 6...d5.

==Summary and Basics==
{{Editor note|{{center|<big>'''Take These Routine Actions to Give the Best Chance of Good Future Recovery:'''</big>}}
*'''Make a complete system image of your computer''' while things work well. ''Do this every few months at least, and certainly before any significant upgrades.''
*'''Back up your personal documents, spreadsheets and images'''. ''Do this every week, or more frequently if deemed necessary. Use a separate drive for added diversity.''
*'''Set a restore point before any significant changes'''. ''This includes before any version or feature upgrades, and after a new install. Remember, restore might need switched on.''
*'''Make a USB recovery drive for your version of Windows'''. ''If the version changes or the drivers change much, be sure to replace it with another.''
*'''Learn your computer's startup keys''', especially for the boot menu and the Recovery Environment. ''Refer to the handbook or manufacturer's site for info.''
*'''Set your BIOS / UEFI boot order''' so that the USB drive is at the top. ''This will generally not affect normal working.''
}}
*'''The Windows Recovery Environment (RE)''' is a computer's restoration platform. It is a collection of tools with a graphical interface that can repair a computer, or reinstall it from saved images. It can also use a USB recovery drive, so that work can be done externally to the Windows environment.
*'''The ''Winre.wim'' file is its core''', and It is an image file.
**'''It is normally hidden from view''', but can be seen in Windows Explorer when the folder options are adjusted, and the recovery partition is given a drive letter.
**'''Winre.wim is initially located in folder ''\Windows\System32\Recovery'', for ''staging'' or when ''disabled''.''' When the RE is ''clean-installed'' or otherwise ''enabled'', tt is moved to folder '''''\Recovery\WindowsRE''''', in the recovery partition with two other files.
**'''The file depends on finding the specified folder at its destination'''. For a clean installation, the empty folder tree at the working location must be prepared prior to initially enabling the RE.
*'''The '''''Reagent.xml''''' file is also located in ''\Windows\System32\Recovery''''', and travels with the ''Winre.wim'' file. When it is missing in Windows 10 and beyond, a new one is made automatically for the current configuration. Before Windows 10, handling procedures can differ.
*'''The Recovery Environment (RE) can be switched on and off.''' If it is off, (''disabled''), most facilities will be unavailable. it will not be possible to make a recovery drive, access advanced options, or install a system image. When the recovery environment is switched on, (''enabled''), a full set of advanced tools is available.
*'''When the recovery partition is unsuitable for the RE, ''C:\Recovery\WindowsRE'' is used instead.''' However, when the problems with the partition are corrected, the RE can be redirected back to the partition, using an entry made at an elevated command prompt.
*'''When the Recovery Environment is ''disabled''''', the ''Winre.wim'' file is moved back to its staging location in the '''''\Windows\System32\Recovery''''' folder. (See Figure D). It is then moved back to its working location when it is ''enabled''.
*'''A USB recovery drive can override RE settings'''. Booting with a recovery drive can access a full set of advanced options even when the computer's RE is disabled. (See later).
*'''''Reagentc.exe'' is used to switch the RE on and off'''. It is also used to check its status, and to tell the system where to install the RE files. It is accessed in an elevated command prompt, and a detailed log of its actions is always available at '''''C:\Windows\Logs\Reagent.log'''''.
*'''Users sometimes need to work on the hidden recovery partition.''' Assigning a drive letter, viewing files, and extending the partition are the main tasks that users might encounter. All of these tasks can be carried out in Windows, but are more easily done with a third party partition tool. Even free tools, like [http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition], are easier to use than Windows.
*'''The RE does not normally need manual intervention'''. The configuration files are automatically updated by switching the RE from the ''disabled'' state to the ''enabled'' state, or by notifying a change in the location to send the RE. In Windows 10, a new xml file is made if one cannot be found. If necessary, when things still go wrong, there are commands that can be used to check and change the status of the RE, and to tell the system of the new location for its working files.
*'''A good way to reinstate the integrity of the Recovery Environment''' is to allow the installation of a Windows Feature Update. Because the update needs the RE to do its work, it will be sure to reinstate it. Another, more timely method is to perform a clean installation of the RE. (see later).
*'''A copy of the ''Winre.wim'' file should be kept as a backup'''. If a ''Winre.wim'' file is thought to be defective, the backup copy could then be used to reinstall the RE. Copies can also be imported from other computers, or from installation and system images, but having a backup is more convenient. There is no need to backup the reagent.xml file in Windows 10 as the system can make a new file every time the RE is ''enabled''.
*'''The ''Windows USB Recovery Drive'' can give full RE access, even when it is ''disabled''''', so a USB Recovery Drive is well worth the time in its making. Such a drive can be used to boot (load) a PC into Windows even if the PC cannot start on its own. It can also boot the PC into a full version of the Recovery Environment. Running the RE on a USB Recovery Drive can allow the installation of system images at times when other methods would fail. It cannot transfer a ''WindowsBackupImage'' onto a new, blank hard drive however, since some preparation of the disc's partitions must still be made. For a blank hard drive, cloning or the use of installation media are still the preferred methods.

==Accessing the Recovery Options==
[[File:Windows Recovery Environment 2.png|thumb|550px|left|Figure A: Typical options in the Windows Recovery Environment. The "Use a device" route runs the RE independently of Windows. Note: Left-click the image for a larger view.]]
There are several ways to access the recovery options. (See Figure A.) Some use keys during startup, and some others a modified form of restart. These methods set flags that cause the relevant boot loaders to load the Recovery Environment instead of the Windows operating system. The most reliable methods are given here.
===Starting the RE with Hot Keys===
When the PC is switched on or reset, there is an immediate startup phase, in which pressing certain keys on the keyboard can cause the computer to go into the Recovery Mode. For example, some HP computers use the f11 key for this. Other manufacturers will use other keys, but often there is brief message at the bottom of the screen that invites the user to press a certain key for this purpose. At times, recovery mode can be accessed from the Startup menu, accessed on HP computers by pressing the Esc key during startup. Along with the RE startup key, there is also a key to go to the UEFI/BIOS settings; on HP computers it is f10, though it too changes between manufacturers. Refer to documentation for your PC to learn correctly which keys to use. Notice also that the startup keys are still valid whether the PC boots on its own, or with the help of a USB Recovery Drive.
===Starting the RE with ''Shift-Restart''===
Provided that the PC ''can'' start, then the preferred method to enter the Recovery Environment is to restart the PC while pressing the ''shift'' key. Power switch restarts can be initiated anywhere that a ''restart'' button exists, including the ''Sign-On'' screen, the ''Start Menu'', ''Advanced Startup'' in ''Settings> Recovery'', and no doubt others.
</div>
<div style="background:papayawhip;margin:0px;padding-left:10px;padding-right:10px;padding-top:10px;padding-bottom:10px;border:1px solid gray;">
===Starting the RE with a USB Recovery Drive===
*'''The ''Use a Device'' choice''' (see figure A), runs a version of the RE from the USB Recovery Drive. In this way the USB can perform recovery tasks independently of Windows, and can do so even if the RE in the PC is set to ''disabled''. In order to make use of these features the user should of course, have a Windows Recovery Drive, made at a time when the PC was working well. Details on how to make such a drive can be found by searching in Windows for the term ''Create a Recovery Drive''. The following method although of use generally, is made for a near-worst scenario, where the computer cannot start on its own, the user has forgotten the startup keys, and the computer's RE is presently in a disabled or inoperable state. The sequence of work used to enter the recovery environment, and gain external control of it, is as follows:
**'''Set the boot order of the ''BIOS/UEFI'' to boot from the USB.''' That is to say, access the ''UEFI'' settings, then move the USB choice to the top of the boot order, then save and exit the ''UEFI'' settings. This should have already been done as a matter of routine, but in case of difficulty, refer to [https://techofide.com/blogs/boot-menu-option-keys-for-all-computers-and-laptops-updated-list-2021-techofide Boot '''Menu Option Keys for All Computers'''], for the boot access key on your computer.
**'''Switch off the computer.''' A cold start is best; remove power from the power cord as well, since the mother board has power unless mains power is removed. Press the start switch a few times to discharge any residual power. After a few minutes reconnect the mains.
**'''Remove all USB objects except the mouse and Recovery Drive and start the PC.''' Do not touch any keys at this stage. The Recovery Drive should boot the PC into Windows normally. It is assumed here that the PC reaches the sign-in screen, having run an automatic startup check and repair. Note: If you know the key to press to enter the RE during startup, and don't need start-up repairs, then press that key during startup, and skip to making the "Use a device" item below.
**'''Perform a ''Shift-Restart'' from the sign-in screen.''' That is, hold down the ''shift'' key while selecting ''restart'' on the lower-right power button. A similar procedure could be performed at any other point on the PC where there is a power button. The computer restarts, booted by the Recovery Drive, and opens a reduced version of the Recovery Environment; this version has very little other than that available in a boot menu, but additionally includes the "Use a device" option.
**'''Find and select the option ''Use a Device.''''' From the three or so options then presented, choose the one for the removable USB drive. The PC will automatically restart, and the Recovery Drive will open a full set of options of its own, the first of which is a language selection.
**'''The language screen is characteristic of USB control''', there being no other notice as to which device is now running the RE. When making selections from these options, the Recovery Environment will make use of tools in the Recovery Drive, as opposed to those in the PC or Windows. This would even permit the formatting of Windows if deemed necessary.
**'''Remove the Recovery Drive from the USB slot.''' Do this when it is no longer needed, and before proceeding normally to Windows again. This avoids another unnecessary USB boot into the RE.</div>

==RE Pre-Install Issues==
[[File:Reagentc status output.png|thumb|450px|right|Figure B: Checking the status of the Recovery Environment. The display shows that it is enabled, and that the location of the file is hidden partition four, the usual recovery partition. That is to say, all is well.]]
[[File:Command Prompt Results for a Directory Search.png|thumb|450px|right|Figure C: Shows a typical command prompt output while searching for RE files. Notice that the working file is not listed, the one currently in the recovery partition.]]
===RE Management with Windows Explorer===
Although enabling and disabling the RE must be done at the Command Prompt, searching for files can always be done from within Windows Explorer. If work needs to be done directly in the recovery partition however, a drive letter will need to be assigned. (See later). For some actions that will not be necessary. In general, the user should consider logging on as an administrator, and in any case adjust the folder options as follows:
*Go to Windows Explorer's ''View'' drop menu.
*Select the ''Options'' tile, then ''Change folder and search options''.
*In the dialog that opens, select the ''View'' tab, then check ''Show hidden files, folders and drives''. In addition, ensure that the ''Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)'' remains unchecked.
*Click ''Apply'' then ''OK'' to quit the dialog.
====Search for files====
Left-click the ''C: drive'' in the left panel then enter the file name and extension in the top-right ''Search This PC'' text field, (for example, ''winre.wim'' ). Hit ''Enter'' to start the search of ''C: drive''. After a while the results list will be completed. Narrow or widen the search locations by choosing a different drive or folder in the left panel, then re-entering the file details.
====File Restrictions====
Being able to see system and operating files does not necessarily mean that they can be moved or copied. That privilege depends on who the ''owner'' is. In the event of such difficulty, the intending user might have to take ownership of such a file or folder, or extend sharing to himself. Use the ''right-click'' menu item "''Give access to''", to give yourself access to some restricted files.
===Hidden Partition Working===
Before installing the RE in a partition, the system checks to see if the partition is suitable. During the install run, it checks for size and type, and otherwise decides on suitability. If it decides that it is too small for the files and working space, or otherwise unsuitable, it will install the RE into the '''''C:\Recovery''''' folder instead. So, if at any time the RE is found in that folder, it would be best to consider any issues with the partition before attempting to install in it. Microsoft's page on this issue is best, at [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/windows-security/disk-partition-requirement-use-windows-re-tool Disk partition requirement for using Windows RE tools on a UEFI-based computer].
If it is decided to extend the partition, or to work on it, the use of a partition tool is preferred. Even free utilities such as [http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition] permit the assignment of drive letters and the adjustment of a partition's size. They also allow the viewing of files in hidden partitions, using an explore option. These utilities are often simpler to use than those supplied by Windows, but on a cautious note, care is needed in any partition tool's use, since changes made in a casual way can have far reaching consequences.
In order to see and work with any files in a hidden partition, a drive letter must first be assigned. Then the files can be handled in Windows Explorer, in the same way as any others. After a session of work is done, the drive letter can be removed again to make it inaccessible. Before working on any system files, it is advised to set the folder options of Windows Explorer so that system files will be visible and so that operating system files are not hidden. Otherwise, they will be invisible for both viewing and command prompt listings. Similarly, any use of the command prompt should be done at an Admin level, the so-called elevated command prompt, or some commands will not work at all. It might also be as well to sign on to Windows as an administrator for any extended work. This will minimise the requests for permissions.
===Making Clean Starting Folders ===
[[File:Recovery Environment WinRE.wim File Transit.png|thumb|450px|left|Figure D: Shows the changes in file locations when the RE is enabled and disabled. When ''enabled'', The ''Winre.wim'' file in the staging location is moved, with other files, to its working location in the recovery partition. It is moved back when ''disabled''.]]
When attempting to make a clean installation of the RE, it is important to avoid any residual problems that exist in the surrounding files and folders. One way, when it is possible, is to install into empty folders made for the purpose, and to first rename any similar existing folders so that they are unavailable. For example, for a partition, the RE system will install into a specific folder in a specific folder tree, and no other. For a clean installation, the partition must have an empty outer folder in it called '''''Recovery'''''. Within the Recovery folder there must be another empty folder called '''''WindowsRE'''''. If any existing folder tree exists with the Recovery name it should be renamed so that it is unavailable.
Similarly, during the installation of the RE, a Winre.wim image file must initially be located in folder '''''C:\Windows\System32\Recovery'''''. There is no need for any '''''WindowsRE''''' folder at this location, since it is merely a staging location for the wim file, prior to the start of the installation. If there is doubt as to the integrity of the '''''Winre.wim''''' file, then it too should be renamed, and another file that is known to work, brought in to replace it. In Windows 10 and beyond, some files are made automatically when they are not found during an RE installation run. This is not the case for earlier Windows editions. For Windows 10 and 11, this makes it a useful way to exclude such files from adversely affecting the new installation. If there is an existing '''''REAgent.xml''''' file in the '''''C:\Windows\System32\Recovery''''' folder, it must be deleted before a clean install; the system will make a new one on-the-fly, with all of the new configurations in it. Note that a missing '''''Winre.wim''''' file will not be replaced during a run; it must be present at the staging point before enabling the RE.
{{Editor note|''Remarks regarding auto-replacement of the Reagent.xml file apply only to Windows 10 and above. Other versions are not considered here.''}}
===Checking System Files and Images===
At any time, the integrity of the system can be checked by running a file check. That does not mean that the recovery partition will be checked as well. When the RE is disabled, the Winre.wim file is brought back into the '''''C:\Windows\System32\Recovery''''' folder, regardless of where it was located while it was enabled. So prior to running a specific file check it would be best to make sure that the Winre.wim file is conveniently located in Windows, by first disabling the RE. Code for doing this, and other tests, is given in a later section, though recent tests have introduced doubt as to whether or not the Winre.wim file is ever included in a System File Check; no mention of it is ever found in the various logs.
An alternative to file checking is to make use of a Winre.wim file from a known, good Windows computer of the same edition. Another alternative is to allow the computer to do a features update, or an upgrade of Windows. Because the system needs the RE for its updates, it will make sure that there is a working RE by the time it is done. That is not to say that the system will install the RE where you want it; it will not install it into a partition if it was not notified (set) there before. Another way, more complex, to get a file is to mount an installation image so that there is access to its files. The wim file can then be copied, and dismounted after use.
Microsoft recommends running DISM before sfc in Windows 10, so this is the sequence displayed below. The following code can be used at an elevated command prompt to perform more searching tests and repairs on the computer, but should be used sparingly and with caution, in view of the damage that might result from careless use:
====To check the Windows image for integrity====
<p>The code lines shown here require an online internet connection. They check the Windows files against a reference set of files in a Microsoft server. The first line will check that files are OK without making changes, while the second line will check the integrity of the component store. The third and most useful will check and fix any bad files that are found. The process can take some time since many files need to be checked.</p>
<p>''Press Enter after any one line of code, then await completion before any other:''</p>

</poem>
====To perform system file tests and repairs====
<p>The first of these two code lines will verify the integrity of the system files but will not make any changes to them. The second line will check such files and also repair or replace them as necessary. A log file for the process is available at '''''C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log'''''. </p>

====To perform hard drive sector tests and repairs====

====To obtain a hash for your working Winre.wim file====
<p>There is no clear evidence that the wim file is ever checked during a sfc check, so the next best thing is to do a hash of your wim file while it is working well so that you can compare it when it is in doubt. The procedure below first disables the RE to move the wim file into Windows. Then the directory is changed to the folder that contains the wim file, then the hash line is run. Change the MD5 to SHA1, SHA256, or SHA512 for other hashes. The sequence of work is just:</p>
<p>''Press Enter after each line of code, then await completion before any other:''</p>

===To Check, Enable or Disable the RE===
At various times we need to disable or enable the Windows Recovery Environment. When disabled, there is no access to the advanced options of the RE without a Recovery Drive, and it is not possible to make such a drive when the RE is disabled. However, at times when repairing the RE, we need to switch it off and on. These commands, as for many others, must be made at an '''''administrator command prompt'''''.
*The RE status tells us whether it is currently enabled or disabled, (see Figure B), and if enabled, what its set location path is. It is found with:
<poem style="margin-left:25px;letter-spacing:0.05em;color:green;font-weight:bold;font-family:consolas;font-size:11pt;">

==Clean Install the RE to a Partition==
This procedure is the most general, and as such is easily adapted to address a number of RE problem types. These include but are not limited to:
* Cannot enable the RE
* Recovery Environment not found.
* Confused configuration issues.
* First time install of RE.
* RE installed in Windows instead of Recovery Partition.
* No backup to staging location when disabled.
This description assumes that there is a '''''Winre.wim''''' file available on the computer from some suitable source. That is to say, from a backup copy or a computer of the same edition: Win10 needs a file from a Win10 computer, etc. It further assumes that there is already a recovery partition made, it is hidden, and that after installation of all files, it will still have free space roughly equal to the size of the '''''Winre.wim''''' file itself. A partition size of greater than 1GB would usually do fine. Ideally, the RE partition should be located immediately following the partition in which Windows is installed. For a detailed description of the most general method of RE installation, first refer to [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/deploy-windows-re?source=recommendations&view=windows-10 Microsoft; Deploy Windows RE].The summary of the procedure is as follows:
*Prepare ''Windows Explorer''; set the folder options to unhide and view system and operating system files.
* Prepare the ''Recovery Partition''; give the partition a drive letter. We use "R" for our example.
* ''Disable the'' RE if there is already one installed.
* Use ''Windows Explorer'' to view the existing ''Recovery Partition'' files.
* Rename any existing '''''Recovery''''' folder structure in the recovery partition''; eg;'' make it ''bakRecovery''.
* Then make sure that the ''empty'' folder structure '''''Recovery\WindowsRE''''' exists as a top level folder tree in the RE partition. (See Figure D). If it does not, then make it.
* '''''Copy''''' your ''Winre.wim'' file to the clipboard, then '''''Paste''''' it into the '''''\Windows\System32\Recovery''''' folder. This becomes the ''staging location'' of ''Winre.wim.'' Note that this method is simply considered the most convenient, and that with a little more effort the file could be found and copied into place at the command prompt instead.
* While in \'''''Windows\System32\Recovery''''' rename any existing ''REAgent.xml'' file to make it unavailable. (Note: This advice is for Windows10 and beyond).
* ''Set'' the location for the installation of RE files using '''''reagentc /setreimage /path r:\recovery\windowsre''''' at an elevated command prompt. The system will make a new ''reagent.xml'' file, then add it, the ''winre.wim'' file, and a ''boot.sdi'' file to the ''WindowsRE'' folder in the recovery partition,
* Confirm the status of the RE with '''''reagentc /info''''', noting that it is ''enabled'', and that the RE has the installed path as intended.
* If all is well, then remove the drive letter from the recovery partition.
*A detailed log file for the process can be found at '''''C:\Windows\Logs\ReAgent\reagent.log'''''.
===Command line code related to the clean RE install===
*'''To assign a drive letter to the Recovery Partition''': It is best to use a third-party partition tool (recommended), but if the command prompt must be used, enter following code lines at an elevated prompt, one by one, pressing ''Enter'' after each. Note: For this purpose, we use the letter "R", and assume it is for partition four.
<poem style="margin-left:25px;letter-spacing:0.05em;color:green;font-weight:bold;font-family:consolas;font-size:11pt;">
diskpart
list drive
select drive 0
list partition
select partition 4
assign letter=R
exit
</poem>
*'''To check the status of the RE:'''
<poem style="margin-left:25px;letter-spacing:0.05em;color:green;font-weight:bold;font-family:consolas;font-size:11pt;">
reagentc /info
</poem>
*'''To disable the RE''': Enter the following code at the elevated command prompt.
<poem style="margin-left:25px;letter-spacing:0.05em;color:green;font-weight:bold;font-family:consolas;font-size:11pt;">
reagentc /enable
</poem>
*'''To enable the RE''':
<poem style="margin-left:25px;letter-spacing:0.05em;color:green;font-weight:bold;font-family:consolas;font-size:11pt;">
reagentc /disable
</poem>
*'''To find a list of Winre.wim files in C: drive''': Enter the following code at the elevated command prompt. (See Figure C)
<poem style="margin-left:25px;letter-spacing:0.05em;color:green;font-weight:bold;font-family:consolas;font-size:11pt;">
dir /a /s c:\winre.wim
</poem>
*'''To copy a Winre.wim file using Command Prompt''': Note: The first line is just used for you to find the file's attributes; it is assumed here that, among others, system and hidden attributes (h and s) were found; these two found attributes are removed in the second line, the xcopy is applied in the third, then the attributes are reapplied at both the new and old addresses. It is easiest to rename and move files in ''Windows Explorer'', but when the command prompt (elevated) must be used, the following code shows the sequence of work:
<poem style="margin-left:25px;letter-spacing:0.05em;color:green;font-weight:bold;font-family:consolas;font-size:11pt;">
attrib [full path to the FILE whose attributes are to be checked]
attrib -h -s [full path to the source FILE to copy]
xcopy /h [full path to the source FILE to copy] [full path to destination FOLDER for the copy]
attrib h s [full path to the source FILE that was copied]
attrib h s [full path to the new destination FILE]
</poem>
* '''To tell the RE where to place the enabled Winre.wim file:''' In this case we assume that the correct place is the recovery partition, and that it has been labelled as "R" drive. As well as setting up the various configuration files and notifying the system as to where the RE is to be installed, this code line ends by enabling the RE, ready for use:
<poem style="margin-left:25px;letter-spacing:0.05em;color:green;font-weight:bold;font-family:consolas;font-size:11pt;">
reagentc /setreimage /path r:\recovery\windowsre
</poem>
*'''To remove the drive letter from the recovery partition''': Use the third-party partition software for speed and convenience, or repeat the earlier use of ''diskpart'', replacing the lettering line with ''remove letter=R''.
<poem style="margin-left:25px;letter-spacing:0.05em;color:green;font-weight:bold;font-family:consolas;font-size:11pt;">
diskpart
list drive
select drive 0
list partition
select partition 4
remove letter=R
exit
</poem>
*'''To access the log file for any REAgentc process:''' In Windows Explorer, go to '''''C:\Windows\Logs\ReAgent\reagent.log''''', and ''Open with'' Notepad or Wordpad.<br><br>

'''Salut, ionatano!''' (Hello, Jonathan!) is the story of a young Englishman who goes to visit his friend in another European country...or so it would seem.
“Salut, ionatano” ê la storia dî un omin îngleza chi vat por visider la sea amic în una paieza altra Ueropal… u asî parescat.

'''Shakshuka''' (also spelled ''shakshouka'') is a one-pan Middle Eastern and North African dish of eggs poached directly in a spiced tomato and pepper sauce. It is traditionally served for breakfast or brunch, scooped up with crusty bread.
==Ingredients==
* 3 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 large onion, diced
* 1 red bell pepper, diced
* 1 green bell pepper, diced
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 teaspoon ground cumin
* 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
* ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
* ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
* 800 g (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
* Salt and black pepper, to taste
* 6 large eggs
* 60 g (2 oz) feta cheese, crumbled, to serve
* Small handful fresh parsley or coriander (cilantro), chopped, to serve
* Crusty bread or pita, to serve
==Procedure==
# Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add onion and both bell peppers; cook 8 minutes until softened.
# Add garlic, cumin, sweet paprika, smoked paprika, and cayenne. Stir 1 minute until fragrant.
# Add crushed tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
# Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer the sauce 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
# Use the back of a spoon to make 6 small wells in the sauce. Crack an egg into each well.
# Cover the pan with a lid. Cook 6–8 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny, or longer if firmer yolks are preferred.
# Remove from heat. Scatter feta and fresh herbs over the top. Serve immediately from the pan with bread.
==Notes, tips, and variations==
* For a richer sauce, add 2 tablespoons of harissa paste with the spices.
* Stir in a handful of baby spinach just before adding the eggs.
* A heavy, oven-safe skillet (cast iron) can be used: cover with foil and finish in a 180°C (350°F) oven for 8–10 minutes for even, restaurant-style eggs.

== 3...g5? · Brentano gambit ==
{{Chess/sideline}}
An interesting move where Black threatens ...g4 to push the knight back, and to start a pawn assault if White castles.
'''4. d4!''' is the best move. This discovers an attack on g5 with the bishop while attacking the e5 square, the purpose being that now White is threatening 5. Nxg5 to just win the pawn, and if 4...g4? 5. Nxe5 is supported.
'''4. h3?!''' is more conservative, preventing ...g4 but is otherwise passive. '''4. O-O?!''' allows 4...g4 5. Ne1 and White's position is far from comfortable.
=== History ===
Analysis of the line was published by Franz Brentano in ''Wiener Schachzeitung'' in 1900.<ref>{{Cite journal |title=Neue Vertheidigung der spanischen Partie (New Defence to the Spanish Game) |journal=Wiener Schachzeitung |last=Brentano |first=Franz |url=https://anno.onb.ac.at/cgi-content/anno-plus?aid=sze&datum=1900&page=105&size=45 |volume=4/5 |pages=97-103 |year=1900 |editor-last=Marco |editor-first=Georg}}</ref>

__notoc__
Welcome to the Wikibook for Literary Chinese (Known as 漢文 "Han Language" in East Asia or 文言 "Literary Language" in China), aimed at individuals hoping to gain a general knowledge of it before progressing into genres they wish to be acquainted with.
This is not the [[Classical Chinese]] textbook, which is aimed at Chinese Zhou-Qin era texts. This text aims to shed light on post-Zhou-Qin texts across East Asia, which mimic those texts. It does so through a "buffet" approach, showering you, the reader, with an ocean of texts of myriad genre.
==Table of Contents==
=== Front matter ===
* [[/Introduction/]]
* [[/Appendices/]]
=== Useful resources ===
These are quick grab-bags that can be useful for vocabulary-building.
* [[/Antonym List/]] <!--- 文/武,大/小,厚/薄,橫/縱...--->
* [[/Collocation Groups/]] <!--- e.g. 四象,三靈…… --->
* [https://zh.wikiversity.org/wiki/Subject:華製新漢語及中文固有語/嚴譯及部定詞等 Yan Fu's Qing-era translations for modern terms] <!--- Wikiversity has this (https://zh.wikiversity.org/wiki/Subject:華製新漢語及中文固有語/嚴譯及部定詞等) and the below, I will effectively be translating a lot of it! --->
* [https://zh.wikiversity.org/wiki/Subject:華製新漢語及中文固有語/上古語考輯 Communicative Terms]
<!--- this will be translated eventually, but right now it's bad to just leave this here. --->
=== Useful primers ===
Across history, many primers have been made for teaching Literary Chinese to children. These are a few that are recommended for use alongside this work, ideally in flashcards.
* [https://www.fdgwz.org.cn/Web/Show/11308 倉頡篇] - Cangjie's Chapters, the earliest one. It is extant, but incomplete. It contains several rare characters, and so if used, I would personally recommend doing so later, or out of interest.
* 三字經 - The Three Character Classic, an excellent piece for Confucian education. Pair with 弟子规 for best results.
** 三字經(太平天國版)- For Christians, there is a version made by Hong Xiuquan from the Taiping Rebellion. Despite the context, it is a legitimately useful primer and can be used to self-teach for the Delegate's Edition of the Christian Bible.
* 千字文 - The Thousand Character Classic, a remarkable piece of constrained writing that only uses each character once. Amazing for building vocabulary whilst seeing historical allusions and the like.
* 五字鑑 - The Five-Character Mirror, essentially the 24 Histories of China compressed into a primer. Uses 5-character couplets, the longest in this list.
* 龍文鞭影 - The Shadow of Longwen's Whip, a historical allusion trainer. Best paired with a context piece.
===Unit 0: The Han script===
This unit is intended for those with no familiarity of the Han script. It will prepare you for the units ahead, teaching largely pictographic characters.
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around 30 characters.
* Understand how characters are composed and how this gives them meaning.
* Have a basic idea of how to handwrite and/or type characters.
* Know some bare basics of Literary Chinese grammar (e.g. Basic word order, where adjectives go, lack of "is", 有...)
Lessons:
# [[/An Introduction to the Han Script/]]
# [[/People, Big and Small/]]
# [[/What are Chinese characters, anyway?/]] <!--- deploy several single-radical texts--->
# [[/How do we write Chinese?/]]
# [[/Tilling the Fields with 有/]]
# [[/The Sun and the Moon/]]
# [[/Weapons and Metals/]]
# [[/Recognizing Phonetics/]] <!--- time to deploy my one-syllable articles! --->
# [[/Cangjie Created Characters/]]
===Unit 1: Basic Skills===
This unit is intended for those with minimal familiarity with the Han script and no familiarity with Literary Chinese. There is a focus on simple structures, skills for dissecting common textual structures, and short-form poetry in this unit.
Before starting this unit, students should:
* Recognise around ~30 characters.
* Can use Cangjie input.
* Have given Unit 0 a cursory glance.
<br>
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around ~100 characters.
* Comprehend numbers, the Heavenly Stems, and the Earthly Branches, and be able to use them to quantify time and date.
* Intuit the basic topic -> comment idea behind Literary Chinese. "This, it is..."
* Understand basic function words such as 也, 而, 有, and 謂.
Lessons:
# [[/The All-Purpose 也/]]
# [[/An Introduction to Chinese Numbers/]] <!--- It is hard to find authentic materials for this --->
# [[/One, Two, Left, and Right with Gongsun Long/]]
<!---

曰:「不可。」
曰:「左可謂二乎?」

===Unit 2: An Overview of Sinitic Poetry===
This unit will teach you how Sinitic Poetry operates; - that is, the way individuals in the Sinosphere compose poetry in Literary Chinese. Despite this language's fall out of favour in the past century, this tradition is still remarkably alive and well, and their short length makes them more accessible than elaborate prose. In this unit, you will begin from the ''Classic of Poetry'' before travelling through poems from the Tang dynasty, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, the Ryukyu Kingdom, and Korea. When introducing poetry, I will furthermore use the language from the nation it is from to show how it is recited by its people.
After discussing the Classic of Poetry, we will also be a small detour into a discussion on Ping-Ze 平仄, the Tang dynasty system of alternating tones, so to produce rhyme on tonal and phonological levels. This had a major impact on Literary Chinese poetry as a whole!
By the end of this Unit, students will:
* Recognise around 120 more characters.
* Be able to explain how Sinitic Poetry rhymes and the themes it contains.
* Be able to use function words such as 在, 無, 不, 聿, and 于/於 in poetic contexts.
* Recognise the switch between 吾/我 in the subject-object positions and demonstrate it in usage.
* (Chinese speakers) Be able to differentiate 于 and 於, and understand the "interest(ed) in" meaning of 好 in most circumstances.
<!---
Summary of the above part about 于 and 於 for other editors:
于 and 於 were distinct words for an extremely long time and were still such to Literary Chinese writers. Their "merging" through Simplified-Traditional Chinese distinctions is a very modern thing. I will summarise their usages here, using Pulleyblank's Outline of Classical Chinese Grammar (2000);
* 于 - This can mean "to go" or "to/at". 黃鳥于飛 "The yellow birds go flying". Must be post-verbal. It can also appear in 至于.
* 於 - This is an all-purpose locative preposition - from "on/at/in" to "from" or even "than" (甲於乙). The implication of motion is not there at all. Must be pre-verbal. It can also appear in 之於 or be an archaic noun for a crow 於 (烏).

In this unit, women's writing from various areas of China will be explored.

悲憤詩
〔兩漢〕蔡文姬
漢季失權柄,董卓亂天常。
志欲圖篡弒,先害諸賢良。
逼迫遷舊邦,擁主以自強。
海內興義師,欲共討不祥。
卓眾來東下,金甲耀日光。
平土人脆弱,來兵皆胡羌。
獵野圍城邑,所向悉破亡。
斬截無孑遺,屍骸相撐拒。
馬邊懸男頭,馬後載婦女。
長驅西入關,迥路險且阻。
還顧邈冥冥,肝脾為爛腐。
所略有萬計,不得令屯聚。
或有骨肉俱,欲言不敢語。
失意幾微間,輒言斃降虜。
要當以亭刃,我曹不活汝。
豈復惜性命,不堪其詈罵。
或便加棰杖,毒痛參並下。
旦則號泣行,夜則悲吟坐。
欲死不能得,欲生無一可。
彼蒼者何辜,乃遭此厄禍。
邊荒與華異,人俗少義理。
處所多霜雪,胡風春夏起。
翩翩吹我衣,肅肅入我耳。
感時念父母,哀嘆無窮已。
有客從外來,聞之常歡喜。
迎問其消息,輒復非鄉里。
邂逅徼時願,骨肉來迎己。
己得自解免,當復棄兒子。
天屬綴人心,念別無會期。
存亡永乖隔,不忍與之辭。
兒前抱我頸,問母欲何之。
人言母當去,豈復有還時。
阿母常仁惻,今何更不慈。
我尚未成人,奈何不顧思。
見此崩五內,恍惚生狂痴。
號泣手撫摩,當發復回疑。
兼有同時輩,相送告離別。
慕我獨得歸,哀叫聲摧裂。
馬為立踟躕,車為不轉轍。
觀者皆噓唏,行路亦嗚咽。
去去割情戀,遄征日遐邁。
悠悠三千里,何時復交會。
念我出腹子,匈臆為摧敗。
既至家人盡,又復無中外。
城廓為山林,庭宇生荊艾。
白骨不知誰,縱橫莫覆蓋。
出門無人聲,豺狼號且吠。
煢煢對孤景,怛吒糜肝肺。
登高遠眺望,魂神忽飛逝。
奄若壽命盡,旁人相寬大。
為復強視息,雖生何聊賴。
託命於新人,竭心自勖勵。
流離成鄙賤,常恐復捐廢。
人生幾何時,懷憂終年歲。

诗中所说“绿朴”,是壮族对柚子的惯称。“柚子”,壮语发音为“bug”。根据《古壮字字典》,其对应的古壮字为“朴(㭪)”。诗人将古壮字运用到汉文诗歌创作中,刻下了明清壮汉文化交相辉映的注脚。

Boyan's Poem from the 元史
伯顏,蒙古巴林部人。至元十一年拜中書左丞相,總兵伐宋。官至開府儀同三司,薨贈太師,封淮安王,諡忠武。
《玉堂嘉話》:初,宋未下時,江南謠云:「江南若破,白雁來過。」當時莫喻其意。及宋亡,蓋知指丞相巴延也。

__notoc__
Welcome to the Wikibook for Literary Chinese (Known as 漢文 "Han Language" in East Asia or 文言 "Literary Language" in China), aimed at individuals hoping to gain a general knowledge of it before progressing into genres they wish to be acquainted with.
This is not the [[Classical Chinese]] textbook, which is aimed at Chinese Zhou-Qin era texts. This text aims to shed light on post-Zhou-Qin texts across East Asia, which mimic those texts. It does so through a "buffet" approach, showering you, the reader, with an ocean of texts of myriad genre.
==Table of Contents==
=== Front matter ===
* [[/Introduction/]]
* [[/Appendices/]]
=== Useful resources ===
These are quick grab-bags that can be useful for vocabulary-building.

=== Useful primers ===
Across history, many primers have been made for teaching Literary Chinese to children. These are a few that are recommended for use alongside this work, ideally in flashcards.
* [https://www.fdgwz.org.cn/Web/Show/11308 倉頡篇] - Cangjie's Chapters, the earliest one. It is extant, but incomplete. It contains several rare characters, and so if used, I would personally recommend doing so later, or out of interest.
* 三字經 - The Three Character Classic, an excellent piece for Confucian education. Pair with 弟子规 for best results.
** 三字經(太平天國版)- For Christians, there is a version made by Hong Xiuquan from the Taiping Rebellion. Despite the context, it is a legitimately useful primer and can be used to self-teach for the Delegate's Edition of the Christian Bible.
* 千字文 - The Thousand Character Classic, a remarkable piece of constrained writing that only uses each character once. Amazing for building vocabulary whilst seeing historical allusions and the like.
* 五字鑑 - The Five-Character Mirror, essentially the 24 Histories of China compressed into a primer. Uses 5-character couplets, the longest in this list.
* 龍文鞭影 - The Shadow of Longwen's Whip, a historical allusion trainer. Best paired with a context piece.
===Unit 0: The Han script===
This unit is intended for those with no familiarity of the Han script. It will prepare you for the units ahead, teaching largely pictographic characters.
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around 30 characters.
* Understand how characters are composed and how this gives them meaning.
* Have a basic idea of how to handwrite and/or type characters.
* Know some bare basics of Literary Chinese grammar (e.g. Basic word order, where adjectives go, lack of "is", 有...)
Lessons:

# [[/People, Big and Small/]]
# [[/What are Chinese characters, anyway?/]] <!--- deploy several single-radical texts--->
# [[/How do we write Chinese?/]]

# [[/Weapons and Metals/]]
# [[/Recognizing Phonetics/]] <!--- time to deploy my one-syllable articles! --->
# [[/Cangjie Created Characters/]]
===Unit 1: Basic Skills===
This unit is intended for those with minimal familiarity with the Han script and no familiarity with Literary Chinese. There is a focus on simple structures, skills for dissecting common textual structures, and short-form poetry in this unit.
Before starting this unit, students should:
* Recognise around ~30 characters.
* Can use Cangjie input.
* Have given Unit 0 a cursory glance.
<br>
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around ~100 characters.
* Comprehend numbers, the Heavenly Stems, and the Earthly Branches, and be able to use them to quantify time and date.
* Intuit the basic topic -> comment idea behind Literary Chinese. "This, it is..."
* Understand basic function words such as 也, 而, 有, and 謂.

===Unit 2: An Overview of Sinitic Poetry===
This unit will teach you how Sinitic Poetry operates; - that is, the way individuals in the Sinosphere compose poetry in Literary Chinese. Despite this language's fall out of favour in the past century, this tradition is still remarkably alive and well, and their short length makes them more accessible than elaborate prose. In this unit, you will begin from the ''Classic of Poetry'' before travelling through poems from the Tang dynasty, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, the Ryukyu Kingdom, and Korea. When introducing poetry, I will furthermore use the language from the nation it is from to show how it is recited by its people.
After discussing the Classic of Poetry, we will also be a small detour into a discussion on Ping-Ze 平仄, the Tang dynasty system of alternating tones, so to produce rhyme on tonal and phonological levels. This had a major impact on Literary Chinese poetry as a whole!
By the end of this Unit, students will:
* Recognise around 120 more characters.
* Be able to explain how Sinitic Poetry rhymes and the themes it contains.
* Be able to use function words such as 在, 無, 不, 聿, and 于/於 in poetic contexts.
* Recognise the switch between 吾/我 in the subject-object positions and demonstrate it in usage.
* (Chinese speakers) Be able to differentiate 于 and 於, and understand the "interest(ed) in" meaning of 好 in most circumstances.
<!---
Summary of the above part about 于 and 於 for other editors:
于 and 於 were distinct words for an extremely long time and were still such to Literary Chinese writers. Their "merging" through Simplified-Traditional Chinese distinctions is a very modern thing. I will summarise their usages here, using Pulleyblank's Outline of Classical Chinese Grammar (2000);
* 于 - This can mean "to go" or "to/at". 黃鳥于飛 "The yellow birds go flying". Must be post-verbal. It can also appear in 至于.
* 於 - This is an all-purpose locative preposition - from "on/at/in" to "from" or even "than" (甲於乙). The implication of motion is not there at all. Must be pre-verbal. It can also appear in 之於 or be an archaic noun for a crow 於 (烏).

===Unit 3: Confucianism and the World===
This is a Confucian-themed unit with a smattering of other items. You will see the odd geography of the past, early linguistic philosophy, and terrifying breakaway states!
By the end of this unit, students should be able to:
* Recognise around 200+ characters.
* Read basic annals and histories with some dictionary assistance, and comprehend 3-character structures reliably.
* Have encountered basic grammatical points such as 之、乎、者、也、而、則、乃、所、以、於、于、與、且、蓋、and 夫.
** 於 and 于 should be distinguishable.
* Survive a text of at least 250 characters and read for gist.

In this unit, women's writing from various areas of China will be explored.

The role of women in courtly society is to be elucidated here!

Dasese (or 萧瑟瑟) was a Khitan consort to Emperor Tianzuo of Liao. She remonstrated him as the Jurchens were beginning to encroach upon the Khitan, and was forced to commit suicide for her remonstrance. Tianzuo would soon pay for his malfeasance.

悲憤詩
〔兩漢〕蔡文姬
漢季失權柄,董卓亂天常。
志欲圖篡弒,先害諸賢良。
逼迫遷舊邦,擁主以自強。
海內興義師,欲共討不祥。
卓眾來東下,金甲耀日光。
平土人脆弱,來兵皆胡羌。
獵野圍城邑,所向悉破亡。
斬截無孑遺,屍骸相撐拒。
馬邊懸男頭,馬後載婦女。
長驅西入關,迥路險且阻。
還顧邈冥冥,肝脾為爛腐。
所略有萬計,不得令屯聚。
或有骨肉俱,欲言不敢語。
失意幾微間,輒言斃降虜。
要當以亭刃,我曹不活汝。
豈復惜性命,不堪其詈罵。
或便加棰杖,毒痛參並下。
旦則號泣行,夜則悲吟坐。
欲死不能得,欲生無一可。
彼蒼者何辜,乃遭此厄禍。
邊荒與華異,人俗少義理。
處所多霜雪,胡風春夏起。
翩翩吹我衣,肅肅入我耳。
感時念父母,哀嘆無窮已。
有客從外來,聞之常歡喜。
迎問其消息,輒復非鄉里。
邂逅徼時願,骨肉來迎己。
己得自解免,當復棄兒子。
天屬綴人心,念別無會期。
存亡永乖隔,不忍與之辭。
兒前抱我頸,問母欲何之。
人言母當去,豈復有還時。
阿母常仁惻,今何更不慈。
我尚未成人,奈何不顧思。
見此崩五內,恍惚生狂痴。
號泣手撫摩,當發復回疑。
兼有同時輩,相送告離別。
慕我獨得歸,哀叫聲摧裂。
馬為立踟躕,車為不轉轍。
觀者皆噓唏,行路亦嗚咽。
去去割情戀,遄征日遐邁。
悠悠三千里,何時復交會。
念我出腹子,匈臆為摧敗。
既至家人盡,又復無中外。
城廓為山林,庭宇生荊艾。
白骨不知誰,縱橫莫覆蓋。
出門無人聲,豺狼號且吠。
煢煢對孤景,怛吒糜肝肺。
登高遠眺望,魂神忽飛逝。
奄若壽命盡,旁人相寬大。
為復強視息,雖生何聊賴。
託命於新人,竭心自勖勵。
流離成鄙賤,常恐復捐廢。
人生幾何時,懷憂終年歲。

# [[/Zhuang poetry with Zhang Honghe/]]
<!--- https://wenyi.gmw.cn/2024-06/25/content_37398911.htm
一是忠实记录了汉诗创作与古壮字交融的文化现象。清代壮族诗人张鸿翮(hé)《大塘谣》(《峤西诗钞》卷二)云:
去了休。去到大塘红蓼洲。红蓼生花,不结子。绿朴生花,毬见毬。
诗中所说“绿朴”,是壮族对柚子的惯称。“柚子”,壮语发音为“bug”。根据《古壮字字典》,其对应的古壮字为“朴(㭪)”。诗人将古壮字运用到汉文诗歌创作中,刻下了明清壮汉文化交相辉映的注脚。
This sort of thing is why Zhuang and Tangut inclusion is important, as they show how flexible Literary Chinese can be. --->

__notoc__
Welcome to the Wikibook for Literary Chinese (Known as 漢文 "Han Language" in East Asia or 文言 "Literary Language" in China), aimed at individuals hoping to gain a general knowledge of it before progressing into genres they wish to be acquainted with.
This is not the [[Classical Chinese]] textbook, which is aimed at Chinese Zhou-Qin era texts. This text aims to shed light on post-Zhou-Qin texts across East Asia, which mimic those texts. It does so through a "buffet" approach, showering you, the reader, with an ocean of texts of myriad genre.
==Table of Contents==
=== Front matter ===
* [[/Introduction/]]
* [[/Appendices/]]
=== Useful resources ===
These are quick grab-bags that can be useful for vocabulary-building.

* [https://zh.wikiversity.org/wiki/Subject:華製新漢語及中文固有語/上古語考輯 Communicative Terms]
<!--- this will be translated eventually, but right now it's bad to just leave this here. --->
=== Useful primers ===
Across history, many primers have been made for teaching Literary Chinese to children. These are a few that are recommended for use alongside this work, ideally in flashcards.
* [https://www.fdgwz.org.cn/Web/Show/11308 倉頡篇] - Cangjie's Chapters, the earliest one. It is extant, but incomplete. It contains several rare characters, and so if used, I would personally recommend doing so later, or out of interest.
* 三字經 - The Three Character Classic, an excellent piece for Confucian education. Pair with 弟子规 for best results.
** 三字經(太平天國版)- For Christians, there is a version made by Hong Xiuquan from the Taiping Rebellion. Despite the context, it is a legitimately useful primer and can be used to self-teach for the Delegate's Edition of the Christian Bible.
* 千字文 - The Thousand Character Classic, a remarkable piece of constrained writing that only uses each character once. Amazing for building vocabulary whilst seeing historical allusions and the like.
* 五字鑑 - The Five-Character Mirror, essentially the 24 Histories of China compressed into a primer. Uses 5-character couplets, the longest in this list.
* 龍文鞭影 - The Shadow of Longwen's Whip, a historical allusion trainer. Best paired with a context piece.
===Unit 0: The Han script===
This unit is intended for those with no familiarity of the Han script. It will prepare you for the units ahead, teaching largely pictographic characters.
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around 30 characters.
* Understand how characters are composed and how this gives them meaning.
* Have a basic idea of how to handwrite and/or type characters.
* Know some bare basics of Literary Chinese grammar (e.g. Basic word order, where adjectives go, lack of "is", 有...)

Before starting this unit, students should:
* Recognise around ~30 characters.
* Can use Cangjie input.
* Have given Unit 0 a cursory glance.
<br>
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around ~100 characters.
* Comprehend numbers, the Heavenly Stems, and the Earthly Branches, and be able to use them to quantify time and date.
* Intuit the basic topic -> comment idea behind Literary Chinese. "This, it is..."
* Understand basic function words such as 也, 而, 有, and 謂.

===Unit 2: An Overview of Sinitic Poetry===
This unit will teach you how Sinitic Poetry operates; - that is, the way individuals in the Sinosphere compose poetry in Literary Chinese. Despite this language's fall out of favour in the past century, this tradition is still remarkably alive and well, and their short length makes them more accessible than elaborate prose. In this unit, you will begin from the ''Classic of Poetry'' before travelling through poems from the Tang dynasty, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, the Ryukyu Kingdom, and Korea. When introducing poetry, I will furthermore use the language from the nation it is from to show how it is recited by its people.
After discussing the Classic of Poetry, we will also be a small detour into a discussion on Ping-Ze 平仄, the Tang dynasty system of alternating tones, so to produce rhyme on tonal and phonological levels. This had a major impact on Literary Chinese poetry as a whole!
By the end of this Unit, students will:
* Recognise around 120 more characters.
* Be able to explain how Sinitic Poetry rhymes and the themes it contains.
* Be able to use function words such as 在, 無, 不, 聿, and 于/於 in poetic contexts.
* Recognise the switch between 吾/我 in the subject-object positions and demonstrate it in usage.
* (Chinese speakers) Be able to differentiate 于 and 於, and understand the "interest(ed) in" meaning of 好 in most circumstances.
<!---
Summary of the above part about 于 and 於 for other editors:
于 and 於 were distinct words for an extremely long time and were still such to Literary Chinese writers. Their "merging" through Simplified-Traditional Chinese distinctions is a very modern thing. I will summarise their usages here, using Pulleyblank's Outline of Classical Chinese Grammar (2000);
* 于 - This can mean "to go" or "to/at". 黃鳥于飛 "The yellow birds go flying". Must be post-verbal. It can also appear in 至于.
* 於 - This is an all-purpose locative preposition - from "on/at/in" to "from" or even "than" (甲於乙). The implication of motion is not there at all. Must be pre-verbal. It can also appear in 之於 or be an archaic noun for a crow 於 (烏).

===Unit 4: Women's Writing===
In this unit, women's writing from various areas of China will be explored. This is chiefly targeted at poetry and the themes within; from the feminine voice of the Classic of Poetry to the remonstrance towards the Khitan Emperor Tianzuo of Jin by his Consort Dasese. The role of women in courtly society is to be elucidated here!

悲憤詩
〔兩漢〕蔡文姬
漢季失權柄,董卓亂天常。
志欲圖篡弒,先害諸賢良。
逼迫遷舊邦,擁主以自強。
海內興義師,欲共討不祥。
卓眾來東下,金甲耀日光。
平土人脆弱,來兵皆胡羌。
獵野圍城邑,所向悉破亡。
斬截無孑遺,屍骸相撐拒。
馬邊懸男頭,馬後載婦女。
長驅西入關,迥路險且阻。
還顧邈冥冥,肝脾為爛腐。
所略有萬計,不得令屯聚。
或有骨肉俱,欲言不敢語。
失意幾微間,輒言斃降虜。
要當以亭刃,我曹不活汝。
豈復惜性命,不堪其詈罵。
或便加棰杖,毒痛參並下。
旦則號泣行,夜則悲吟坐。
欲死不能得,欲生無一可。
彼蒼者何辜,乃遭此厄禍。
邊荒與華異,人俗少義理。
處所多霜雪,胡風春夏起。
翩翩吹我衣,肅肅入我耳。
感時念父母,哀嘆無窮已。
有客從外來,聞之常歡喜。
迎問其消息,輒復非鄉里。
邂逅徼時願,骨肉來迎己。
己得自解免,當復棄兒子。
天屬綴人心,念別無會期。
存亡永乖隔,不忍與之辭。
兒前抱我頸,問母欲何之。
人言母當去,豈復有還時。
阿母常仁惻,今何更不慈。
我尚未成人,奈何不顧思。
見此崩五內,恍惚生狂痴。
號泣手撫摩,當發復回疑。
兼有同時輩,相送告離別。
慕我獨得歸,哀叫聲摧裂。
馬為立踟躕,車為不轉轍。
觀者皆噓唏,行路亦嗚咽。
去去割情戀,遄征日遐邁。
悠悠三千里,何時復交會。
念我出腹子,匈臆為摧敗。
既至家人盡,又復無中外。
城廓為山林,庭宇生荊艾。
白骨不知誰,縱橫莫覆蓋。
出門無人聲,豺狼號且吠。
煢煢對孤景,怛吒糜肝肺。
登高遠眺望,魂神忽飛逝。
奄若壽命盡,旁人相寬大。
為復強視息,雖生何聊賴。
託命於新人,竭心自勖勵。
流離成鄙賤,常恐復捐廢。
人生幾何時,懷憂終年歲。

一是忠实记录了汉诗创作与古壮字交融的文化现象。清代壮族诗人张鸿翮(hé)《大塘谣》(《峤西诗钞》卷二)云:
去了休。去到大塘红蓼洲。红蓼生花,不结子。绿朴生花,毬见毬。
诗中所说“绿朴”,是壮族对柚子的惯称。“柚子”,壮语发音为“bug”。根据《古壮字字典》,其对应的古壮字为“朴(㭪)”。诗人将古壮字运用到汉文诗歌创作中,刻下了明清壮汉文化交相辉映的注脚。
This sort of thing is why Zhuang and Tangut inclusion is important, as they show how flexible Literary Chinese can be. --->

__notoc__
Welcome to the Wikibook for Literary Chinese (Known as 漢文 "Han Language" in East Asia or 文言 "Literary Language" in China), aimed at individuals hoping to gain a general knowledge of it before progressing into genres they wish to be acquainted with.
This is not the [[Classical Chinese]] textbook, which is aimed at Chinese Zhou-Qin era texts. This text aims to shed light on post-Zhou-Qin texts across East Asia, which mimic those texts. It does so through a "buffet" approach, showering you, the reader, with an ocean of texts of myriad genre.
==Table of Contents==
=== Front matter ===
* [[/Introduction/]]

=== Useful primers ===
Across history, many primers have been made for teaching Literary Chinese to children. These are a few that are recommended for use alongside this work, ideally in flashcards.
* [https://www.fdgwz.org.cn/Web/Show/11308 倉頡篇] - Cangjie's Chapters, the earliest one. It is extant, but incomplete. It contains several rare characters, and so if used, I would personally recommend doing so later, or out of interest.
* 三字經 - The Three Character Classic, an excellent piece for Confucian education. Pair with 弟子规 for best results.
** 三字經(太平天國版)- For Christians, there is a version made by Hong Xiuquan from the Taiping Rebellion. Despite the context, it is a legitimately useful primer and can be used to self-teach for the Delegate's Edition of the Christian Bible.
* 千字文 - The Thousand Character Classic, a remarkable piece of constrained writing that only uses each character once. Amazing for building vocabulary whilst seeing historical allusions and the like.
* 五字鑑 - The Five-Character Mirror, essentially the 24 Histories of China compressed into a primer. Uses 5-character couplets, the longest in this list.
* 龍文鞭影 - The Shadow of Longwen's Whip, a historical allusion trainer. Best paired with a context piece.
===Unit 0: The Han script===
This unit is intended for those with no familiarity of the Han script. It will prepare you for the units ahead, teaching largely pictographic characters.
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around 30 characters.
* Understand how characters are composed and how this gives them meaning.
* Have a basic idea of how to handwrite and/or type characters.
* Know some bare basics of Literary Chinese grammar (e.g. Basic word order, where adjectives go, lack of "is", 有...)
Lessons:
# [[/An Introduction to the Han Script/]]
# [[/People, Big and Small/]]
# [[/What are Chinese characters, anyway?/]] <!--- deploy several single-radical texts--->
# [[/How do we write Chinese?/]]

# [[/The Sun and the Moon/]]
# [[/Weapons and Metals/]]
# [[/Recognizing Phonetics/]] <!--- time to deploy my one-syllable articles! --->
# [[/Cangjie Created Characters/]]
===Unit 1: Basic Skills===
This unit is intended for those with minimal familiarity with the Han script and no familiarity with Literary Chinese. There is a focus on simple structures, skills for dissecting common textual structures, and short-form poetry in this unit.
Before starting this unit, students should:
* Recognise around ~30 characters.
* Can use Cangjie input.
* Have given Unit 0 a cursory glance.
<br>
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around ~100 characters.
* Comprehend numbers, the Heavenly Stems, and the Earthly Branches, and be able to use them to quantify time and date.
* Intuit the basic topic -> comment idea behind Literary Chinese. "This, it is..."
* Understand basic function words such as 也, 而, 有, and 謂.

===Unit 2: An Overview of Sinitic Poetry===
This unit will teach you how Sinitic Poetry operates; - that is, the way individuals in the Sinosphere compose poetry in Literary Chinese. Despite this language's fall out of favour in the past century, this tradition is still remarkably alive and well, and their short length makes them more accessible than elaborate prose. In this unit, you will begin from the ''Classic of Poetry'' before travelling through poems from the Tang dynasty, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, the Ryukyu Kingdom, and Korea. When introducing poetry, I will furthermore use the language from the nation it is from to show how it is recited by its people.
After discussing the Classic of Poetry, we will also be a small detour into a discussion on Ping-Ze 平仄, the Tang dynasty system of alternating tones, so to produce rhyme on tonal and phonological levels. This had a major impact on Literary Chinese poetry as a whole!
By the end of this Unit, students will:
* Recognise around 120 more characters.
* Be able to explain how Sinitic Poetry rhymes and the themes it contains.
* Be able to use function words such as 在, 無, 不, 聿, and 于/於 in poetic contexts.
* Recognise the switch between 吾/我 in the subject-object positions and demonstrate it in usage.
* (Chinese speakers) Be able to differentiate 于 and 於, and understand the "interest(ed) in" meaning of 好 in most circumstances.
<!---
Summary of the above part about 于 and 於 for other editors:
于 and 於 were distinct words for an extremely long time and were still such to Literary Chinese writers. Their "merging" through Simplified-Traditional Chinese distinctions is a very modern thing. I will summarise their usages here, using Pulleyblank's Outline of Classical Chinese Grammar (2000);
* 于 - This can mean "to go" or "to/at". 黃鳥于飛 "The yellow birds go flying". Must be post-verbal. It can also appear in 至于.
* 於 - This is an all-purpose locative preposition - from "on/at/in" to "from" or even "than" (甲於乙). The implication of motion is not there at all. Must be pre-verbal. It can also appear in 之於 or be an archaic noun for a crow 於 (烏).

===Unit 3: Confucianism and the World===
This is a Confucian-themed unit with a smattering of other items. You will see the odd geography of the past, early linguistic philosophy, and terrifying breakaway states!
By the end of this unit, students should be able to:
* Recognise around 200+ characters.
* Read basic annals and histories with some dictionary assistance, and comprehend 3-character structures reliably.
* Have encountered basic grammatical points such as 之、乎、者、也、而、則、乃、所、以、於、于、與、且、蓋、and 夫.
** 於 and 于 should be distinguishable.
* Survive a text of at least 250 characters and read for gist.

===Unit 4: Women's Writing===
In this unit, women's writing from various areas of China will be explored. This is chiefly targeted at poetry and the themes within; from the feminine voice of the Classic of Poetry to the remonstrance towards the Khitan Emperor Tianzuo of Jin by his Consort Dasese. The role of women in courtly society is to be elucidated here!

貧女吟
豈是乏容色。工鍼復工織。
少小長寒門。良媒不相識。
夜久織未休。戛戛鳴寒機。
機中一匹練。終作阿誰衣。
手把金翦刀。夜寒十指直。
爲人作嫁衣。年年還獨宿。

Responding to 陳光靜 Trần Quang Tĩnh
《和陳侯》
愧無才調使人驚,十載風塵貫耳鈴。
已是臨枰知敵手,莫須敲月苦殫精。
為輪為彈隨遭遇,誰鳳誰鶯任賦生。
造物於人何苟惜,明珠休向暗中呈。
莫須 is an important structure to teach here.

諷諫歌·大瑟瑟
勿嗟塞上兮暗紅塵。
勿傷多難兮畏夷人。
不如塞奸邪之路兮選取賢臣。
直須臥薪嚐膽兮激壯士之捐身。
可以朝清漠北兮夕枕燕雲。
Dasese (or 萧瑟瑟) was a Khitan consort to Emperor Tianzuo of Liao. She remonstrated him as the Jurchens were beginning to encroach upon the Khitan, and was forced to commit suicide for her remonstrance. Tianzuo would soon pay for his malfeasance.

悲憤詩
〔兩漢〕蔡文姬
漢季失權柄,董卓亂天常。
志欲圖篡弒,先害諸賢良。
逼迫遷舊邦,擁主以自強。
海內興義師,欲共討不祥。
卓眾來東下,金甲耀日光。
平土人脆弱,來兵皆胡羌。
獵野圍城邑,所向悉破亡。
斬截無孑遺,屍骸相撐拒。
馬邊懸男頭,馬後載婦女。
長驅西入關,迥路險且阻。
還顧邈冥冥,肝脾為爛腐。
所略有萬計,不得令屯聚。
或有骨肉俱,欲言不敢語。
失意幾微間,輒言斃降虜。
要當以亭刃,我曹不活汝。
豈復惜性命,不堪其詈罵。
或便加棰杖,毒痛參並下。
旦則號泣行,夜則悲吟坐。
欲死不能得,欲生無一可。
彼蒼者何辜,乃遭此厄禍。
邊荒與華異,人俗少義理。
處所多霜雪,胡風春夏起。
翩翩吹我衣,肅肅入我耳。
感時念父母,哀嘆無窮已。
有客從外來,聞之常歡喜。
迎問其消息,輒復非鄉里。
邂逅徼時願,骨肉來迎己。
己得自解免,當復棄兒子。
天屬綴人心,念別無會期。
存亡永乖隔,不忍與之辭。
兒前抱我頸,問母欲何之。
人言母當去,豈復有還時。
阿母常仁惻,今何更不慈。
我尚未成人,奈何不顧思。
見此崩五內,恍惚生狂痴。
號泣手撫摩,當發復回疑。
兼有同時輩,相送告離別。
慕我獨得歸,哀叫聲摧裂。
馬為立踟躕,車為不轉轍。
觀者皆噓唏,行路亦嗚咽。
去去割情戀,遄征日遐邁。
悠悠三千里,何時復交會。
念我出腹子,匈臆為摧敗。
既至家人盡,又復無中外。
城廓為山林,庭宇生荊艾。
白骨不知誰,縱橫莫覆蓋。
出門無人聲,豺狼號且吠。
煢煢對孤景,怛吒糜肝肺。
登高遠眺望,魂神忽飛逝。
奄若壽命盡,旁人相寬大。
為復強視息,雖生何聊賴。
託命於新人,竭心自勖勵。
流離成鄙賤,常恐復捐廢。
人生幾何時,懷憂終年歲。

# [[/Zhuang poetry with Zhang Honghe/]]
<!--- https://wenyi.gmw.cn/2024-06/25/content_37398911.htm
一是忠实记录了汉诗创作与古壮字交融的文化现象。清代壮族诗人张鸿翮(hé)《大塘谣》(《峤西诗钞》卷二)云:
去了休。去到大塘红蓼洲。红蓼生花,不结子。绿朴生花,毬见毬。
诗中所说“绿朴”,是壮族对柚子的惯称。“柚子”,壮语发音为“bug”。根据《古壮字字典》,其对应的古壮字为“朴(㭪)”。诗人将古壮字运用到汉文诗歌创作中,刻下了明清壮汉文化交相辉映的注脚。
This sort of thing is why Zhuang and Tangut inclusion is important, as they show how flexible Literary Chinese can be. --->

Boyan's Poem from the 元史
伯顏,蒙古巴林部人。至元十一年拜中書左丞相,總兵伐宋。官至開府儀同三司,薨贈太師,封淮安王,諡忠武。

This is not the [[Classical Chinese]] textbook, which is aimed at Chinese Zhou-Qin era texts. This text aims to shed light on post-Zhou-Qin texts across East Asia, which mimic those texts. It does so through a "buffet" approach, showering you, the reader, with an ocean of texts of myriad genre.
==Table of Contents==

These are quick grab-bags that can be useful for vocabulary-building.

=== Useful primers ===
Across history, many primers have been made for teaching Literary Chinese to children. These are a few that are recommended for use alongside this work, ideally in flashcards.
* [https://www.fdgwz.org.cn/Web/Show/11308 倉頡篇] - Cangjie's Chapters, the earliest one. It is extant, but incomplete. It contains several rare characters, and so if used, I would personally recommend doing so later, or out of interest.
* 三字經 - The Three Character Classic, an excellent piece for Confucian education. Pair with 弟子规 for best results.
** 三字經(太平天國版)- For Christians, there is a version made by Hong Xiuquan from the Taiping Rebellion. Despite the context, it is a legitimately useful primer and can be used to self-teach for the Delegate's Edition of the Christian Bible.
* 千字文 - The Thousand Character Classic, a remarkable piece of constrained writing that only uses each character once. Amazing for building vocabulary whilst seeing historical allusions and the like.
* 五字鑑 - The Five-Character Mirror, essentially the 24 Histories of China compressed into a primer. Uses 5-character couplets, the longest in this list.
* 龍文鞭影 - The Shadow of Longwen's Whip, a historical allusion trainer. Best paired with a context piece.
===Unit 0: The Han script===
This unit is intended for those with no familiarity of the Han script. It will prepare you for the units ahead, teaching largely pictographic characters.
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around 30 characters.
* Understand how characters are composed and how this gives them meaning.
* Have a basic idea of how to handwrite and/or type characters.
* Know some bare basics of Literary Chinese grammar (e.g. Basic word order, where adjectives go, lack of "is", 有...)

===Unit 1: Basic Skills===
This unit is intended for those with minimal familiarity with the Han script and no familiarity with Literary Chinese. There is a focus on simple structures, skills for dissecting common textual structures, and short-form poetry in this unit.
Before starting this unit, students should:
* Recognise around ~30 characters.
* Can use Cangjie input.
* Have given Unit 0 a cursory glance.
<br>
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around ~100 characters.
* Comprehend numbers, the Heavenly Stems, and the Earthly Branches, and be able to use them to quantify time and date.
* Intuit the basic topic -> comment idea behind Literary Chinese. "This, it is..."
* Understand basic function words such as 也, 而, 有, and 謂.

===Unit 2: An Overview of Sinitic Poetry===
This unit will teach you how Sinitic Poetry operates; - that is, the way individuals in the Sinosphere compose poetry in Literary Chinese. Despite this language's fall out of favour in the past century, this tradition is still remarkably alive and well, and their short length makes them more accessible than elaborate prose. In this unit, you will begin from the ''Classic of Poetry'' before travelling through poems from the Tang dynasty, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, the Ryukyu Kingdom, and Korea. When introducing poetry, I will furthermore use the language from the nation it is from to show how it is recited by its people.
After discussing the Classic of Poetry, we will also be a small detour into a discussion on Ping-Ze 平仄, the Tang dynasty system of alternating tones, so to produce rhyme on tonal and phonological levels. This had a major impact on Literary Chinese poetry as a whole!
By the end of this Unit, students will:
* Recognise around 120 more characters.
* Be able to explain how Sinitic Poetry rhymes and the themes it contains.
* Be able to use function words such as 在, 無, 不, 聿, and 于/於 in poetic contexts.
* Recognise the switch between 吾/我 in the subject-object positions and demonstrate it in usage.
* (Chinese speakers) Be able to differentiate 于 and 於, and understand the "interest(ed) in" meaning of 好 in most circumstances.
<!---
Summary of the above part about 于 and 於 for other editors:
于 and 於 were distinct words for an extremely long time and were still such to Literary Chinese writers. Their "merging" through Simplified-Traditional Chinese distinctions is a very modern thing. I will summarise their usages here, using Pulleyblank's Outline of Classical Chinese Grammar (2000);
* 于 - This can mean "to go" or "to/at". 黃鳥于飛 "The yellow birds go flying". Must be post-verbal. It can also appear in 至于.
* 於 - This is an all-purpose locative preposition - from "on/at/in" to "from" or even "than" (甲於乙). The implication of motion is not there at all. Must be pre-verbal. It can also appear in 之於 or be an archaic noun for a crow 於 (烏).

===Unit 4: Women's Writing===
In this unit, women's writing from various areas of China will be explored. This is chiefly targeted at poetry and the themes within; from the feminine voice of the Classic of Poetry to the remonstrance towards the Khitan Emperor Tianzuo of Jin by his Consort Dasese. The role of women in courtly society is to be elucidated here!

Dasese (or 萧瑟瑟) was a Khitan consort to Emperor Tianzuo of Liao. She remonstrated him as the Jurchens were beginning to encroach upon the Khitan, and was forced to commit suicide for her remonstrance. Tianzuo would soon pay for his malfeasance.

悲憤詩
〔兩漢〕蔡文姬
漢季失權柄,董卓亂天常。
志欲圖篡弒,先害諸賢良。
逼迫遷舊邦,擁主以自強。
海內興義師,欲共討不祥。
卓眾來東下,金甲耀日光。
平土人脆弱,來兵皆胡羌。
獵野圍城邑,所向悉破亡。
斬截無孑遺,屍骸相撐拒。
馬邊懸男頭,馬後載婦女。
長驅西入關,迥路險且阻。
還顧邈冥冥,肝脾為爛腐。
所略有萬計,不得令屯聚。
或有骨肉俱,欲言不敢語。
失意幾微間,輒言斃降虜。
要當以亭刃,我曹不活汝。
豈復惜性命,不堪其詈罵。
或便加棰杖,毒痛參並下。
旦則號泣行,夜則悲吟坐。
欲死不能得,欲生無一可。
彼蒼者何辜,乃遭此厄禍。
邊荒與華異,人俗少義理。
處所多霜雪,胡風春夏起。
翩翩吹我衣,肅肅入我耳。
感時念父母,哀嘆無窮已。
有客從外來,聞之常歡喜。
迎問其消息,輒復非鄉里。
邂逅徼時願,骨肉來迎己。
己得自解免,當復棄兒子。
天屬綴人心,念別無會期。
存亡永乖隔,不忍與之辭。
兒前抱我頸,問母欲何之。
人言母當去,豈復有還時。
阿母常仁惻,今何更不慈。
我尚未成人,奈何不顧思。
見此崩五內,恍惚生狂痴。
號泣手撫摩,當發復回疑。
兼有同時輩,相送告離別。
慕我獨得歸,哀叫聲摧裂。
馬為立踟躕,車為不轉轍。
觀者皆噓唏,行路亦嗚咽。
去去割情戀,遄征日遐邁。
悠悠三千里,何時復交會。
念我出腹子,匈臆為摧敗。
既至家人盡,又復無中外。
城廓為山林,庭宇生荊艾。
白骨不知誰,縱橫莫覆蓋。
出門無人聲,豺狼號且吠。
煢煢對孤景,怛吒糜肝肺。
登高遠眺望,魂神忽飛逝。
奄若壽命盡,旁人相寬大。
為復強視息,雖生何聊賴。
託命於新人,竭心自勖勵。
流離成鄙賤,常恐復捐廢。
人生幾何時,懷憂終年歲。

Consider seeing if there's a letter of acceptance from Shō Tei.

<!--- https://wenyi.gmw.cn/2024-06/25/content_37398911.htm
一是忠实记录了汉诗创作与古壮字交融的文化现象。清代壮族诗人张鸿翮(hé)《大塘谣》(《峤西诗钞》卷二)云:
去了休。去到大塘红蓼洲。红蓼生花,不结子。绿朴生花,毬见毬。
诗中所说“绿朴”,是壮族对柚子的惯称。“柚子”,壮语发音为“bug”。根据《古壮字字典》,其对应的古壮字为“朴(㭪)”。诗人将古壮字运用到汉文诗歌创作中,刻下了明清壮汉文化交相辉映的注脚。
This sort of thing is why Zhuang and Tangut inclusion is important, as they show how flexible Literary Chinese can be. --->

Welcome to the Wikibook for Literary Chinese (Known as 漢文 "Han Language" in East Asia or 文言 "Literary Language" in China), aimed at individuals hoping to gain a general knowledge of it before progressing into genres they wish to be acquainted with.
This is not the [[Classical Chinese]] textbook, which is aimed at Chinese Zhou-Qin era texts. This text aims to shed light on post-Zhou-Qin texts across East Asia, which mimic those texts. It does so through a "buffet" approach, showering you, the reader, with an ocean of texts of myriad genre.
==Table of Contents==

=== Useful primers ===
Across history, many primers have been made for teaching Literary Chinese to children. These are a few that are recommended for use alongside this work, ideally in flashcards.
* [https://www.fdgwz.org.cn/Web/Show/11308 倉頡篇] - Cangjie's Chapters, the earliest one. It is extant, but incomplete. It contains several rare characters, and so if used, I would personally recommend doing so later, or out of interest.
* 三字經 - The Three Character Classic, an excellent piece for Confucian education. Pair with 弟子规 for best results.
** 三字經(太平天國版)- For Christians, there is a version made by Hong Xiuquan from the Taiping Rebellion. Despite the context, it is a legitimately useful primer and can be used to self-teach for the Delegate's Edition of the Christian Bible.
* 千字文 - The Thousand Character Classic, a remarkable piece of constrained writing that only uses each character once. Amazing for building vocabulary whilst seeing historical allusions and the like.
* 五字鑑 - The Five-Character Mirror, essentially the 24 Histories of China compressed into a primer. Uses 5-character couplets, the longest in this list.
* 龍文鞭影 - The Shadow of Longwen's Whip, a historical allusion trainer. Best paired with a context piece.
===Unit 0: The Han script===
This unit is intended for those with no familiarity of the Han script. It will prepare you for the units ahead, teaching largely pictographic characters.
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around 30 characters.
* Understand how characters are composed and how this gives them meaning.
* Have a basic idea of how to handwrite and/or type characters.
* Know some bare basics of Literary Chinese grammar (e.g. Basic word order, where adjectives go, lack of "is", 有...)
Lessons:

# [[/The Sun and the Moon/]]
# [[/Weapons and Metals/]]
# [[/Recognizing Phonetics/]] <!--- time to deploy my one-syllable articles! --->
# [[/Cangjie Created Characters/]]
===Unit 1: Basic Skills===
This unit is intended for those with minimal familiarity with the Han script and no familiarity with Literary Chinese. There is a focus on simple structures, skills for dissecting common textual structures, and short-form poetry in this unit.
Before starting this unit, students should:
* Recognise around ~30 characters.
* Can use Cangjie input.
* Have given Unit 0 a cursory glance.
<br>
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around ~100 characters.
* Comprehend numbers, the Heavenly Stems, and the Earthly Branches, and be able to use them to quantify time and date.
* Intuit the basic topic -> comment idea behind Literary Chinese. "This, it is..."
* Understand basic function words such as 也, 而, 有, and 謂.

===Unit 2: An Overview of Sinitic Poetry===
This unit will teach you how Sinitic Poetry operates; - that is, the way individuals in the Sinosphere compose poetry in Literary Chinese. Despite this language's fall out of favour in the past century, this tradition is still remarkably alive and well, and their short length makes them more accessible than elaborate prose. In this unit, you will begin from the ''Classic of Poetry'' before travelling through poems from the Tang dynasty, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, the Ryukyu Kingdom, and Korea. When introducing poetry, I will furthermore use the language from the nation it is from to show how it is recited by its people.
After discussing the Classic of Poetry, we will also be a small detour into a discussion on Ping-Ze 平仄, the Tang dynasty system of alternating tones, so to produce rhyme on tonal and phonological levels. This had a major impact on Literary Chinese poetry as a whole!
By the end of this Unit, students will:
* Recognise around 120 more characters.
* Be able to explain how Sinitic Poetry rhymes and the themes it contains.
* Be able to use function words such as 在, 無, 不, 聿, and 于/於 in poetic contexts.
* Recognise the switch between 吾/我 in the subject-object positions and demonstrate it in usage.
* (Chinese speakers) Be able to differentiate 于 and 於, and understand the "interest(ed) in" meaning of 好 in most circumstances.
<!---
Summary of the above part about 于 and 於 for other editors:
于 and 於 were distinct words for an extremely long time and were still such to Literary Chinese writers. Their "merging" through Simplified-Traditional Chinese distinctions is a very modern thing. I will summarise their usages here, using Pulleyblank's Outline of Classical Chinese Grammar (2000);
* 于 - This can mean "to go" or "to/at". 黃鳥于飛 "The yellow birds go flying". Must be post-verbal. It can also appear in 至于.
* 於 - This is an all-purpose locative preposition - from "on/at/in" to "from" or even "than" (甲於乙). The implication of motion is not there at all. Must be pre-verbal. It can also appear in 之於 or be an archaic noun for a crow 於 (烏).

朝中措·襄陽古道灞陵橋
襄陽古道灞陵橋,詩興與秋高。
千古風流人物,一時多少雄豪。
霜清玉塞,雲飛隴首,風落江皋。
夢到鳳凰台上,山圍故國周遭。
北郊晚步
陂水荷凋晚,茅檐燕去涼。
遠林明落景,平麓淡秋光。
群牧歸村巷,孤禽立野航。
自諳閑散樂,園圃意尤長。
Jurchen poet and grandson of Emperor Shizong of Jin. He's a Zen Buddhist, so we'll go back to him later.

===Unit 3: Confucianism and the World===
This is a Confucian-themed unit with a smattering of other items. You will see the odd geography of the past, early linguistic philosophy, and terrifying breakaway states!
By the end of this unit, students should be able to:
* Recognise around 200+ characters.
* Read basic annals and histories with some dictionary assistance, and comprehend 3-character structures reliably.
* Have encountered basic grammatical points such as 之、乎、者、也、而、則、乃、所、以、於、于、與、且、蓋、and 夫.
** 於 and 于 should be distinguishable.
* Survive a text of at least 250 characters and read for gist.

===Unit 4: Women's Writing===
In this unit, women's writing from various areas of China will be explored. This is chiefly targeted at poetry and the themes within; from the feminine voice of the Classic of Poetry to the remonstrance towards the Khitan Emperor Tianzuo of Jin by his Consort Dasese. The role of women in courtly society is to be elucidated here!

Dasese (or 萧瑟瑟) was a Khitan consort to Emperor Tianzuo of Liao. She remonstrated him as the Jurchens were beginning to encroach upon the Khitan, and was forced to commit suicide for her remonstrance. Tianzuo would soon pay for his malfeasance.

悲憤詩
〔兩漢〕蔡文姬
漢季失權柄,董卓亂天常。
志欲圖篡弒,先害諸賢良。
逼迫遷舊邦,擁主以自強。
海內興義師,欲共討不祥。
卓眾來東下,金甲耀日光。
平土人脆弱,來兵皆胡羌。
獵野圍城邑,所向悉破亡。
斬截無孑遺,屍骸相撐拒。
馬邊懸男頭,馬後載婦女。
長驅西入關,迥路險且阻。
還顧邈冥冥,肝脾為爛腐。
所略有萬計,不得令屯聚。
或有骨肉俱,欲言不敢語。
失意幾微間,輒言斃降虜。
要當以亭刃,我曹不活汝。
豈復惜性命,不堪其詈罵。
或便加棰杖,毒痛參並下。
旦則號泣行,夜則悲吟坐。
欲死不能得,欲生無一可。
彼蒼者何辜,乃遭此厄禍。
邊荒與華異,人俗少義理。
處所多霜雪,胡風春夏起。
翩翩吹我衣,肅肅入我耳。
感時念父母,哀嘆無窮已。
有客從外來,聞之常歡喜。
迎問其消息,輒復非鄉里。
邂逅徼時願,骨肉來迎己。
己得自解免,當復棄兒子。
天屬綴人心,念別無會期。
存亡永乖隔,不忍與之辭。
兒前抱我頸,問母欲何之。
人言母當去,豈復有還時。
阿母常仁惻,今何更不慈。
我尚未成人,奈何不顧思。
見此崩五內,恍惚生狂痴。
號泣手撫摩,當發復回疑。
兼有同時輩,相送告離別。
慕我獨得歸,哀叫聲摧裂。
馬為立踟躕,車為不轉轍。
觀者皆噓唏,行路亦嗚咽。
去去割情戀,遄征日遐邁。
悠悠三千里,何時復交會。
念我出腹子,匈臆為摧敗。
既至家人盡,又復無中外。
城廓為山林,庭宇生荊艾。
白骨不知誰,縱橫莫覆蓋。
出門無人聲,豺狼號且吠。
煢煢對孤景,怛吒糜肝肺。
登高遠眺望,魂神忽飛逝。
奄若壽命盡,旁人相寬大。
為復強視息,雖生何聊賴。
託命於新人,竭心自勖勵。
流離成鄙賤,常恐復捐廢。
人生幾何時,懷憂終年歲。

<!--- https://wenyi.gmw.cn/2024-06/25/content_37398911.htm
一是忠实记录了汉诗创作与古壮字交融的文化现象。清代壮族诗人张鸿翮(hé)《大塘谣》(《峤西诗钞》卷二)云:
去了休。去到大塘红蓼洲。红蓼生花,不结子。绿朴生花,毬见毬。
诗中所说“绿朴”,是壮族对柚子的惯称。“柚子”,壮语发音为“bug”。根据《古壮字字典》,其对应的古壮字为“朴(㭪)”。诗人将古壮字运用到汉文诗歌创作中,刻下了明清壮汉文化交相辉映的注脚。
This sort of thing is why Zhuang and Tangut inclusion is important, as they show how flexible Literary Chinese can be. --->

《疑猜》盧若騰,東寧國
盟誓變為交質子,春秋戰國風如此;末世上下相疑猜, 更質妻子防逃徙。
此法只可羈庸奴,若遇梟雄術窮矣;妻可再娶子再育, 安能長坐針氈裏。
我贈一法君記存;推心置腹人知恩;眾人畜之眾人報, 幾個國士在君門。

Welcome to the Wikibook for Literary Chinese (Known as 漢文 "Han Language" in East Asia or 文言 "Literary Language" in China), aimed at individuals hoping to gain a general knowledge of it before progressing into genres they wish to be acquainted with.
This is not the [[Classical Chinese]] textbook, which is aimed at Chinese Zhou-Qin era texts. This text aims to shed light on post-Zhou-Qin texts across East Asia, which mimic those texts. It does so through a "buffet" approach, showering you, the reader, with an ocean of texts of myriad genre.
==Table of Contents==
=== Front matter ===
* [[/Introduction/]]

These are quick grab-bags that can be useful for vocabulary-building.

=== Useful primers ===
Across history, many primers have been made for teaching Literary Chinese to children. These are a few that are recommended for use alongside this work, ideally in flashcards.
* [https://www.fdgwz.org.cn/Web/Show/11308 倉頡篇] - Cangjie's Chapters, the earliest one. It is extant, but incomplete. It contains several rare characters, and so if used, I would personally recommend doing so later, or out of interest.
* 三字經 - The Three Character Classic, an excellent piece for Confucian education. Pair with 弟子规 for best results.
** 三字經(太平天國版)- For Christians, there is a version made by Hong Xiuquan from the Taiping Rebellion. Despite the context, it is a legitimately useful primer and can be used to self-teach for the Delegate's Edition of the Christian Bible.
* 千字文 - The Thousand Character Classic, a remarkable piece of constrained writing that only uses each character once. Amazing for building vocabulary whilst seeing historical allusions and the like.
* 五字鑑 - The Five-Character Mirror, essentially the 24 Histories of China compressed into a primer. Uses 5-character couplets, the longest in this list.
* 龍文鞭影 - The Shadow of Longwen's Whip, a historical allusion trainer. Best paired with a context piece.
===Unit 0: The Han script===
This unit is intended for those with no familiarity of the Han script. It will prepare you for the units ahead, teaching largely pictographic characters.
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around 30 characters.
* Understand how characters are composed and how this gives them meaning.
* Have a basic idea of how to handwrite and/or type characters.
* Know some bare basics of Literary Chinese grammar (e.g. Basic word order, where adjectives go, lack of "is", 有...)

===Unit 1: Basic Skills===
This unit is intended for those with minimal familiarity with the Han script and no familiarity with Literary Chinese. There is a focus on simple structures, skills for dissecting common textual structures, and short-form poetry in this unit.
Before starting this unit, students should:
* Recognise around ~30 characters.
* Can use Cangjie input.
* Have given Unit 0 a cursory glance.
<br>
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around ~100 characters.
* Comprehend numbers, the Heavenly Stems, and the Earthly Branches, and be able to use them to quantify time and date.
* Intuit the basic topic -> comment idea behind Literary Chinese. "This, it is..."
* Understand basic function words such as 也, 而, 有, and 謂.

===Unit 2: An Overview of Sinitic Poetry===
This unit will teach you how Sinitic Poetry operates; - that is, the way individuals in the Sinosphere compose poetry in Literary Chinese. Despite this language's fall out of favour in the past century, this tradition is still remarkably alive and well, and their short length makes them more accessible than elaborate prose. In this unit, you will begin from the ''Classic of Poetry'' before travelling through poems from the Tang dynasty, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, the Ryukyu Kingdom, and Korea. When introducing poetry, I will furthermore use the language from the nation it is from to show how it is recited by its people.
After discussing the Classic of Poetry, we will also be a small detour into a discussion on Ping-Ze 平仄, the Tang dynasty system of alternating tones, so to produce rhyme on tonal and phonological levels. This had a major impact on Literary Chinese poetry as a whole!
By the end of this Unit, students will:
* Recognise around 120 more characters.
* Be able to explain how Sinitic Poetry rhymes and the themes it contains.
* Be able to use function words such as 在, 無, 不, 聿, and 于/於 in poetic contexts.
* Recognise the switch between 吾/我 in the subject-object positions and demonstrate it in usage.
* (Chinese speakers) Be able to differentiate 于 and 於, and understand the "interest(ed) in" meaning of 好 in most circumstances.
<!---
Summary of the above part about 于 and 於 for other editors:
于 and 於 were distinct words for an extremely long time and were still such to Literary Chinese writers. Their "merging" through Simplified-Traditional Chinese distinctions is a very modern thing. I will summarise their usages here, using Pulleyblank's Outline of Classical Chinese Grammar (2000);
* 于 - This can mean "to go" or "to/at". 黃鳥于飛 "The yellow birds go flying". Must be post-verbal. It can also appear in 至于.
* 於 - This is an all-purpose locative preposition - from "on/at/in" to "from" or even "than" (甲於乙). The implication of motion is not there at all. Must be pre-verbal. It can also appear in 之於 or be an archaic noun for a crow 於 (烏).

In this unit, women's writing from various areas of China will be explored.

The role of women in courtly society is to be elucidated here!

Dasese (or 萧瑟瑟) was a Khitan consort to Emperor Tianzuo of Liao. She remonstrated him as the Jurchens were beginning to encroach upon the Khitan, and was forced to commit suicide for her remonstrance. Tianzuo would soon pay for his malfeasance.

悲憤詩
〔兩漢〕蔡文姬
漢季失權柄,董卓亂天常。
志欲圖篡弒,先害諸賢良。
逼迫遷舊邦,擁主以自強。
海內興義師,欲共討不祥。
卓眾來東下,金甲耀日光。
平土人脆弱,來兵皆胡羌。
獵野圍城邑,所向悉破亡。
斬截無孑遺,屍骸相撐拒。
馬邊懸男頭,馬後載婦女。
長驅西入關,迥路險且阻。
還顧邈冥冥,肝脾為爛腐。
所略有萬計,不得令屯聚。
或有骨肉俱,欲言不敢語。
失意幾微間,輒言斃降虜。
要當以亭刃,我曹不活汝。
豈復惜性命,不堪其詈罵。
或便加棰杖,毒痛參並下。
旦則號泣行,夜則悲吟坐。
欲死不能得,欲生無一可。
彼蒼者何辜,乃遭此厄禍。
邊荒與華異,人俗少義理。
處所多霜雪,胡風春夏起。
翩翩吹我衣,肅肅入我耳。
感時念父母,哀嘆無窮已。
有客從外來,聞之常歡喜。
迎問其消息,輒復非鄉里。
邂逅徼時願,骨肉來迎己。
己得自解免,當復棄兒子。
天屬綴人心,念別無會期。
存亡永乖隔,不忍與之辭。
兒前抱我頸,問母欲何之。
人言母當去,豈復有還時。
阿母常仁惻,今何更不慈。
我尚未成人,奈何不顧思。
見此崩五內,恍惚生狂痴。
號泣手撫摩,當發復回疑。
兼有同時輩,相送告離別。
慕我獨得歸,哀叫聲摧裂。
馬為立踟躕,車為不轉轍。
觀者皆噓唏,行路亦嗚咽。
去去割情戀,遄征日遐邁。
悠悠三千里,何時復交會。
念我出腹子,匈臆為摧敗。
既至家人盡,又復無中外。
城廓為山林,庭宇生荊艾。
白骨不知誰,縱橫莫覆蓋。
出門無人聲,豺狼號且吠。
煢煢對孤景,怛吒糜肝肺。
登高遠眺望,魂神忽飛逝。
奄若壽命盡,旁人相寬大。
為復強視息,雖生何聊賴。
託命於新人,竭心自勖勵。
流離成鄙賤,常恐復捐廢。
人生幾何時,懷憂終年歲。

<!--- https://wenyi.gmw.cn/2024-06/25/content_37398911.htm
一是忠实记录了汉诗创作与古壮字交融的文化现象。清代壮族诗人张鸿翮(hé)《大塘谣》(《峤西诗钞》卷二)云:
去了休。去到大塘红蓼洲。红蓼生花,不结子。绿朴生花,毬见毬。
诗中所说“绿朴”,是壮族对柚子的惯称。“柚子”,壮语发音为“bug”。根据《古壮字字典》,其对应的古壮字为“朴(㭪)”。诗人将古壮字运用到汉文诗歌创作中,刻下了明清壮汉文化交相辉映的注脚。
This sort of thing is why Zhuang and Tangut inclusion is important, as they show how flexible Literary Chinese can be. --->

Welcome to the Wikibook for Literary Chinese (Known as 漢文 "Han Language" in East Asia or 文言 "Literary Language" in China), aimed at individuals hoping to gain a general knowledge of it before progressing into genres they wish to be acquainted with.
This is not the [[Classical Chinese]] textbook, which is aimed at Chinese Zhou-Qin era texts. This text aims to shed light on post-Zhou-Qin texts across East Asia, which mimic those texts. It does so through a "buffet" approach, showering you, the reader, with an ocean of texts of myriad genre.

=== Useful primers ===
Across history, many primers have been made for teaching Literary Chinese to children. These are a few that are recommended for use alongside this work, ideally in flashcards.
* [https://www.fdgwz.org.cn/Web/Show/11308 倉頡篇] - Cangjie's Chapters, the earliest one. It is extant, but incomplete. It contains several rare characters, and so if used, I would personally recommend doing so later, or out of interest.
* 三字經 - The Three Character Classic, an excellent piece for Confucian education. Pair with 弟子规 for best results.
** 三字經(太平天國版)- For Christians, there is a version made by Hong Xiuquan from the Taiping Rebellion. Despite the context, it is a legitimately useful primer and can be used to self-teach for the Delegate's Edition of the Christian Bible.
* 千字文 - The Thousand Character Classic, a remarkable piece of constrained writing that only uses each character once. Amazing for building vocabulary whilst seeing historical allusions and the like.
* 五字鑑 - The Five-Character Mirror, essentially the 24 Histories of China compressed into a primer. Uses 5-character couplets, the longest in this list.
* 龍文鞭影 - The Shadow of Longwen's Whip, a historical allusion trainer. Best paired with a context piece.
===Unit 0: The Han script===
This unit is intended for those with no familiarity of the Han script. It will prepare you for the units ahead, teaching largely pictographic characters.
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around 30 characters.
* Understand how characters are composed and how this gives them meaning.
* Have a basic idea of how to handwrite and/or type characters.
* Know some bare basics of Literary Chinese grammar (e.g. Basic word order, where adjectives go, lack of "is", 有...)
Lessons:

# [[/Recognizing Phonetics/]] <!--- time to deploy my one-syllable articles! --->
# [[/Cangjie Created Characters/]]
===Unit 1: Basic Skills===
This unit is intended for those with minimal familiarity with the Han script and no familiarity with Literary Chinese. There is a focus on simple structures, skills for dissecting common textual structures, and short-form poetry in this unit.
Before starting this unit, students should:
* Recognise around ~30 characters.
* Can use Cangjie input.
* Have given Unit 0 a cursory glance.
<br>
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around ~100 characters.
* Comprehend numbers, the Heavenly Stems, and the Earthly Branches, and be able to use them to quantify time and date.
* Intuit the basic topic -> comment idea behind Literary Chinese. "This, it is..."
* Understand basic function words such as 也, 而, 有, and 謂.

===Unit 2: An Overview of Sinitic Poetry===
This unit will teach you how Sinitic Poetry operates; - that is, the way individuals in the Sinosphere compose poetry in Literary Chinese. Despite this language's fall out of favour in the past century, this tradition is still remarkably alive and well, and their short length makes them more accessible than elaborate prose. In this unit, you will begin from the ''Classic of Poetry'' before travelling through poems from the Tang dynasty, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, the Ryukyu Kingdom, and Korea. When introducing poetry, I will furthermore use the language from the nation it is from to show how it is recited by its people.
After discussing the Classic of Poetry, we will also be a small detour into a discussion on Ping-Ze 平仄, the Tang dynasty system of alternating tones, so to produce rhyme on tonal and phonological levels. This had a major impact on Literary Chinese poetry as a whole!
By the end of this Unit, students will:
* Recognise around 120 more characters.
* Be able to explain how Sinitic Poetry rhymes and the themes it contains.
* Be able to use function words such as 在, 無, 不, 聿, and 于/於 in poetic contexts.
* Recognise the switch between 吾/我 in the subject-object positions and demonstrate it in usage.
* (Chinese speakers) Be able to differentiate 于 and 於, and understand the "interest(ed) in" meaning of 好 in most circumstances.
<!---
Summary of the above part about 于 and 於 for other editors:
于 and 於 were distinct words for an extremely long time and were still such to Literary Chinese writers. Their "merging" through Simplified-Traditional Chinese distinctions is a very modern thing. I will summarise their usages here, using Pulleyblank's Outline of Classical Chinese Grammar (2000);
* 于 - This can mean "to go" or "to/at". 黃鳥于飛 "The yellow birds go flying". Must be post-verbal. It can also appear in 至于.
* 於 - This is an all-purpose locative preposition - from "on/at/in" to "from" or even "than" (甲於乙). The implication of motion is not there at all. Must be pre-verbal. It can also appear in 之於 or be an archaic noun for a crow 於 (烏).

===Unit 3: Confucianism and the World===
This is a Confucian-themed unit with a smattering of other items. You will see the odd geography of the past, early linguistic philosophy, and terrifying breakaway states!
By the end of this unit, students should be able to:
* Recognise around 200+ characters.
* Read basic annals and histories with some dictionary assistance, and comprehend 3-character structures reliably.
* Have encountered basic grammatical points such as 之、乎、者、也、而、則、乃、所、以、於、于、與、且、蓋、and 夫.
** 於 and 于 should be distinguishable.
* Survive a text of at least 250 characters and read for gist.

===Unit 4: Women's Writing===
In this unit, women's writing from various areas of China will be explored. This is chiefly targeted at poetry and the themes within; from the feminine voice of the Classic of Poetry to the remonstrance towards the Khitan Emperor Tianzuo of Jin by his Consort Dasese. The role of women in courtly society is to be elucidated here!

Dasese (or 萧瑟瑟) was a Khitan consort to Emperor Tianzuo of Liao. She remonstrated him as the Jurchens were beginning to encroach upon the Khitan, and was forced to commit suicide for her remonstrance. Tianzuo would soon pay for his malfeasance.

悲憤詩
〔兩漢〕蔡文姬
漢季失權柄,董卓亂天常。
志欲圖篡弒,先害諸賢良。
逼迫遷舊邦,擁主以自強。
海內興義師,欲共討不祥。
卓眾來東下,金甲耀日光。
平土人脆弱,來兵皆胡羌。
獵野圍城邑,所向悉破亡。
斬截無孑遺,屍骸相撐拒。
馬邊懸男頭,馬後載婦女。
長驅西入關,迥路險且阻。
還顧邈冥冥,肝脾為爛腐。
所略有萬計,不得令屯聚。
或有骨肉俱,欲言不敢語。
失意幾微間,輒言斃降虜。
要當以亭刃,我曹不活汝。
豈復惜性命,不堪其詈罵。
或便加棰杖,毒痛參並下。
旦則號泣行,夜則悲吟坐。
欲死不能得,欲生無一可。
彼蒼者何辜,乃遭此厄禍。
邊荒與華異,人俗少義理。
處所多霜雪,胡風春夏起。
翩翩吹我衣,肅肅入我耳。
感時念父母,哀嘆無窮已。
有客從外來,聞之常歡喜。
迎問其消息,輒復非鄉里。
邂逅徼時願,骨肉來迎己。
己得自解免,當復棄兒子。
天屬綴人心,念別無會期。
存亡永乖隔,不忍與之辭。
兒前抱我頸,問母欲何之。
人言母當去,豈復有還時。
阿母常仁惻,今何更不慈。
我尚未成人,奈何不顧思。
見此崩五內,恍惚生狂痴。
號泣手撫摩,當發復回疑。
兼有同時輩,相送告離別。
慕我獨得歸,哀叫聲摧裂。
馬為立踟躕,車為不轉轍。
觀者皆噓唏,行路亦嗚咽。
去去割情戀,遄征日遐邁。
悠悠三千里,何時復交會。
念我出腹子,匈臆為摧敗。
既至家人盡,又復無中外。
城廓為山林,庭宇生荊艾。
白骨不知誰,縱橫莫覆蓋。
出門無人聲,豺狼號且吠。
煢煢對孤景,怛吒糜肝肺。
登高遠眺望,魂神忽飛逝。
奄若壽命盡,旁人相寬大。
為復強視息,雖生何聊賴。
託命於新人,竭心自勖勵。
流離成鄙賤,常恐復捐廢。
人生幾何時,懷憂終年歲。

去了休。去到大塘红蓼洲。红蓼生花,不结子。绿朴生花,毬见毬。
诗中所说“绿朴”,是壮族对柚子的惯称。“柚子”,壮语发音为“bug”。根据《古壮字字典》,其对应的古壮字为“朴(㭪)”。诗人将古壮字运用到汉文诗歌创作中,刻下了明清壮汉文化交相辉映的注脚。

Welcome to the Wikibook for Literary Chinese (Known as 漢文 "Han Language" in East Asia or 文言 "Literary Language" in China), aimed at individuals hoping to gain a general knowledge of it before progressing into genres they wish to be acquainted with.
This is not the [[Classical Chinese]] textbook, which is aimed at Chinese Zhou-Qin era texts. This text aims to shed light on post-Zhou-Qin texts across East Asia, which mimic those texts. It does so through a "buffet" approach, showering you, the reader, with an ocean of texts of myriad genre.
==Table of Contents==

These are quick grab-bags that can be useful for vocabulary-building.

=== Useful primers ===
Across history, many primers have been made for teaching Literary Chinese to children. These are a few that are recommended for use alongside this work, ideally in flashcards.
* [https://www.fdgwz.org.cn/Web/Show/11308 倉頡篇] - Cangjie's Chapters, the earliest one. It is extant, but incomplete. It contains several rare characters, and so if used, I would personally recommend doing so later, or out of interest.
* 三字經 - The Three Character Classic, an excellent piece for Confucian education. Pair with 弟子规 for best results.
** 三字經(太平天國版)- For Christians, there is a version made by Hong Xiuquan from the Taiping Rebellion. Despite the context, it is a legitimately useful primer and can be used to self-teach for the Delegate's Edition of the Christian Bible.
* 千字文 - The Thousand Character Classic, a remarkable piece of constrained writing that only uses each character once. Amazing for building vocabulary whilst seeing historical allusions and the like.
* 五字鑑 - The Five-Character Mirror, essentially the 24 Histories of China compressed into a primer. Uses 5-character couplets, the longest in this list.
* 龍文鞭影 - The Shadow of Longwen's Whip, a historical allusion trainer. Best paired with a context piece.
===Unit 0: The Han script===
This unit is intended for those with no familiarity of the Han script. It will prepare you for the units ahead, teaching largely pictographic characters.
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around 30 characters.
* Understand how characters are composed and how this gives them meaning.
* Have a basic idea of how to handwrite and/or type characters.
* Know some bare basics of Literary Chinese grammar (e.g. Basic word order, where adjectives go, lack of "is", 有...)

# [[/Recognizing Phonetics/]] <!--- time to deploy my one-syllable articles! --->
# [[/Cangjie Created Characters/]]
===Unit 1: Basic Skills===
This unit is intended for those with minimal familiarity with the Han script and no familiarity with Literary Chinese. There is a focus on simple structures, skills for dissecting common textual structures, and short-form poetry in this unit.
Before starting this unit, students should:
* Recognise around ~30 characters.
* Can use Cangjie input.
* Have given Unit 0 a cursory glance.
<br>
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around ~100 characters.
* Comprehend numbers, the Heavenly Stems, and the Earthly Branches, and be able to use them to quantify time and date.
* Intuit the basic topic -> comment idea behind Literary Chinese. "This, it is..."
* Understand basic function words such as 也, 而, 有, and 謂.

===Unit 2: An Overview of Sinitic Poetry===
This unit will teach you how Sinitic Poetry operates; - that is, the way individuals in the Sinosphere compose poetry in Literary Chinese. Despite this language's fall out of favour in the past century, this tradition is still remarkably alive and well, and their short length makes them more accessible than elaborate prose. In this unit, you will begin from the ''Classic of Poetry'' before travelling through poems from the Tang dynasty, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, the Ryukyu Kingdom, and Korea. When introducing poetry, I will furthermore use the language from the nation it is from to show how it is recited by its people.
After discussing the Classic of Poetry, we will also be a small detour into a discussion on Ping-Ze 平仄, the Tang dynasty system of alternating tones, so to produce rhyme on tonal and phonological levels. This had a major impact on Literary Chinese poetry as a whole!
By the end of this Unit, students will:
* Recognise around 120 more characters.
* Be able to explain how Sinitic Poetry rhymes and the themes it contains.
* Be able to use function words such as 在, 無, 不, 聿, and 于/於 in poetic contexts.
* Recognise the switch between 吾/我 in the subject-object positions and demonstrate it in usage.
* (Chinese speakers) Be able to differentiate 于 and 於, and understand the "interest(ed) in" meaning of 好 in most circumstances.
<!---
Summary of the above part about 于 and 於 for other editors:
于 and 於 were distinct words for an extremely long time and were still such to Literary Chinese writers. Their "merging" through Simplified-Traditional Chinese distinctions is a very modern thing. I will summarise their usages here, using Pulleyblank's Outline of Classical Chinese Grammar (2000);
* 于 - This can mean "to go" or "to/at". 黃鳥于飛 "The yellow birds go flying". Must be post-verbal. It can also appear in 至于.
* 於 - This is an all-purpose locative preposition - from "on/at/in" to "from" or even "than" (甲於乙). The implication of motion is not there at all. Must be pre-verbal. It can also appear in 之於 or be an archaic noun for a crow 於 (烏).

In this unit, women's writing from various areas of China will be explored.

The role of women in courtly society is to be elucidated here!

Dasese (or 萧瑟瑟) was a Khitan consort to Emperor Tianzuo of Liao. She remonstrated him as the Jurchens were beginning to encroach upon the Khitan, and was forced to commit suicide for her remonstrance. Tianzuo would soon pay for his malfeasance.

悲憤詩
〔兩漢〕蔡文姬
漢季失權柄,董卓亂天常。
志欲圖篡弒,先害諸賢良。
逼迫遷舊邦,擁主以自強。
海內興義師,欲共討不祥。
卓眾來東下,金甲耀日光。
平土人脆弱,來兵皆胡羌。
獵野圍城邑,所向悉破亡。
斬截無孑遺,屍骸相撐拒。
馬邊懸男頭,馬後載婦女。
長驅西入關,迥路險且阻。
還顧邈冥冥,肝脾為爛腐。
所略有萬計,不得令屯聚。
或有骨肉俱,欲言不敢語。
失意幾微間,輒言斃降虜。
要當以亭刃,我曹不活汝。
豈復惜性命,不堪其詈罵。
或便加棰杖,毒痛參並下。
旦則號泣行,夜則悲吟坐。
欲死不能得,欲生無一可。
彼蒼者何辜,乃遭此厄禍。
邊荒與華異,人俗少義理。
處所多霜雪,胡風春夏起。
翩翩吹我衣,肅肅入我耳。
感時念父母,哀嘆無窮已。
有客從外來,聞之常歡喜。
迎問其消息,輒復非鄉里。
邂逅徼時願,骨肉來迎己。
己得自解免,當復棄兒子。
天屬綴人心,念別無會期。
存亡永乖隔,不忍與之辭。
兒前抱我頸,問母欲何之。
人言母當去,豈復有還時。
阿母常仁惻,今何更不慈。
我尚未成人,奈何不顧思。
見此崩五內,恍惚生狂痴。
號泣手撫摩,當發復回疑。
兼有同時輩,相送告離別。
慕我獨得歸,哀叫聲摧裂。
馬為立踟躕,車為不轉轍。
觀者皆噓唏,行路亦嗚咽。
去去割情戀,遄征日遐邁。
悠悠三千里,何時復交會。
念我出腹子,匈臆為摧敗。
既至家人盡,又復無中外。
城廓為山林,庭宇生荊艾。
白骨不知誰,縱橫莫覆蓋。
出門無人聲,豺狼號且吠。
煢煢對孤景,怛吒糜肝肺。
登高遠眺望,魂神忽飛逝。
奄若壽命盡,旁人相寬大。
為復強視息,雖生何聊賴。
託命於新人,竭心自勖勵。
流離成鄙賤,常恐復捐廢。
人生幾何時,懷憂終年歲。

<!--- Basically, there are Zhuang and Tangut peoples who wrote in Literary Chinese, and their inclusion here is to show that even those who made their own scripts would use this tongue. 张鸿翮 imported the character 朴 to describe a bug, for example. --->
# [[/Zhuang poetry with Zhang Honghe/]]
<!--- https://wenyi.gmw.cn/2024-06/25/content_37398911.htm
一是忠实记录了汉诗创作与古壮字交融的文化现象。清代壮族诗人张鸿翮(hé)《大塘谣》(《峤西诗钞》卷二)云:
去了休。去到大塘红蓼洲。红蓼生花,不结子。绿朴生花,毬见毬。
诗中所说“绿朴”,是壮族对柚子的惯称。“柚子”,壮语发音为“bug”。根据《古壮字字典》,其对应的古壮字为“朴(㭪)”。诗人将古壮字运用到汉文诗歌创作中,刻下了明清壮汉文化交相辉映的注脚。
This sort of thing is why Zhuang and Tangut inclusion is important, as they show how flexible Literary Chinese can be. --->

伯顏,蒙古巴林部人。至元十一年拜中書左丞相,總兵伐宋。官至開府儀同三司,薨贈太師,封淮安王,諡忠武。
《玉堂嘉話》:初,宋未下時,江南謠云:「江南若破,白雁來過。」當時莫喻其意。及宋亡,蓋知指丞相巴延也。

__notoc__
Welcome to the Wikibook for Literary Chinese (Known as 漢文 "Han Language" in East Asia or 文言 "Literary Language" in China), aimed at individuals hoping to gain a general knowledge of it before progressing into genres they wish to be acquainted with.
This is not the [[Classical Chinese]] textbook, which is aimed at Chinese Zhou-Qin era texts. This text aims to shed light on post-Zhou-Qin texts across East Asia, which mimic those texts. It does so through a "buffet" approach, showering you, the reader, with an ocean of texts of myriad genre.
==Table of Contents==
=== Front matter ===
* [[/Introduction/]]
* [[/Appendices/]]
=== Useful resources ===
These are quick grab-bags that can be useful for vocabulary-building.

<!--- this will be translated eventually, but right now it's bad to just leave this here. --->
=== Useful primers ===
Across history, many primers have been made for teaching Literary Chinese to children. These are a few that are recommended for use alongside this work, ideally in flashcards.
* [https://www.fdgwz.org.cn/Web/Show/11308 倉頡篇] - Cangjie's Chapters, the earliest one. It is extant, but incomplete. It contains several rare characters, and so if used, I would personally recommend doing so later, or out of interest.
* 三字經 - The Three Character Classic, an excellent piece for Confucian education. Pair with 弟子规 for best results.
** 三字經(太平天國版)- For Christians, there is a version made by Hong Xiuquan from the Taiping Rebellion. Despite the context, it is a legitimately useful primer and can be used to self-teach for the Delegate's Edition of the Christian Bible.
* 千字文 - The Thousand Character Classic, a remarkable piece of constrained writing that only uses each character once. Amazing for building vocabulary whilst seeing historical allusions and the like.
* 五字鑑 - The Five-Character Mirror, essentially the 24 Histories of China compressed into a primer. Uses 5-character couplets, the longest in this list.
* 龍文鞭影 - The Shadow of Longwen's Whip, a historical allusion trainer. Best paired with a context piece.
===Unit 0: The Han script===
This unit is intended for those with no familiarity of the Han script. It will prepare you for the units ahead, teaching largely pictographic characters.
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around 30 characters.
* Understand how characters are composed and how this gives them meaning.
* Have a basic idea of how to handwrite and/or type characters.
* Know some bare basics of Literary Chinese grammar (e.g. Basic word order, where adjectives go, lack of "is", 有...)
Lessons:

# [[/People, Big and Small/]]
# [[/What are Chinese characters, anyway?/]] <!--- deploy several single-radical texts--->
# [[/How do we write Chinese?/]]

# [[/Weapons and Metals/]]
# [[/Recognizing Phonetics/]] <!--- time to deploy my one-syllable articles! --->
# [[/Cangjie Created Characters/]]
===Unit 1: Basic Skills===
This unit is intended for those with minimal familiarity with the Han script and no familiarity with Literary Chinese. There is a focus on simple structures, skills for dissecting common textual structures, and short-form poetry in this unit.
Before starting this unit, students should:
* Recognise around ~30 characters.
* Can use Cangjie input.
* Have given Unit 0 a cursory glance.
<br>
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around ~100 characters.
* Comprehend numbers, the Heavenly Stems, and the Earthly Branches, and be able to use them to quantify time and date.
* Intuit the basic topic -> comment idea behind Literary Chinese. "This, it is..."
* Understand basic function words such as 也, 而, 有, and 謂.

===Unit 2: An Overview of Sinitic Poetry===
This unit will teach you how Sinitic Poetry operates; - that is, the way individuals in the Sinosphere compose poetry in Literary Chinese. Despite this language's fall out of favour in the past century, this tradition is still remarkably alive and well, and their short length makes them more accessible than elaborate prose. In this unit, you will begin from the ''Classic of Poetry'' before travelling through poems from the Tang dynasty, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, the Ryukyu Kingdom, and Korea. When introducing poetry, I will furthermore use the language from the nation it is from to show how it is recited by its people.
After discussing the Classic of Poetry, we will also be a small detour into a discussion on Ping-Ze 平仄, the Tang dynasty system of alternating tones, so to produce rhyme on tonal and phonological levels. This had a major impact on Literary Chinese poetry as a whole!
By the end of this Unit, students will:
* Recognise around 120 more characters.
* Be able to explain how Sinitic Poetry rhymes and the themes it contains.
* Be able to use function words such as 在, 無, 不, 聿, and 于/於 in poetic contexts.
* Recognise the switch between 吾/我 in the subject-object positions and demonstrate it in usage.
* (Chinese speakers) Be able to differentiate 于 and 於, and understand the "interest(ed) in" meaning of 好 in most circumstances.
<!---
Summary of the above part about 于 and 於 for other editors:
于 and 於 were distinct words for an extremely long time and were still such to Literary Chinese writers. Their "merging" through Simplified-Traditional Chinese distinctions is a very modern thing. I will summarise their usages here, using Pulleyblank's Outline of Classical Chinese Grammar (2000);
* 于 - This can mean "to go" or "to/at". 黃鳥于飛 "The yellow birds go flying". Must be post-verbal. It can also appear in 至于.
* 於 - This is an all-purpose locative preposition - from "on/at/in" to "from" or even "than" (甲於乙). The implication of motion is not there at all. Must be pre-verbal. It can also appear in 之於 or be an archaic noun for a crow 於 (烏).

In this unit, women's writing from various areas of China will be explored.

悲憤詩
〔兩漢〕蔡文姬
漢季失權柄,董卓亂天常。
志欲圖篡弒,先害諸賢良。
逼迫遷舊邦,擁主以自強。
海內興義師,欲共討不祥。
卓眾來東下,金甲耀日光。
平土人脆弱,來兵皆胡羌。
獵野圍城邑,所向悉破亡。
斬截無孑遺,屍骸相撐拒。
馬邊懸男頭,馬後載婦女。
長驅西入關,迥路險且阻。
還顧邈冥冥,肝脾為爛腐。
所略有萬計,不得令屯聚。
或有骨肉俱,欲言不敢語。
失意幾微間,輒言斃降虜。
要當以亭刃,我曹不活汝。
豈復惜性命,不堪其詈罵。
或便加棰杖,毒痛參並下。
旦則號泣行,夜則悲吟坐。
欲死不能得,欲生無一可。
彼蒼者何辜,乃遭此厄禍。
邊荒與華異,人俗少義理。
處所多霜雪,胡風春夏起。
翩翩吹我衣,肅肅入我耳。
感時念父母,哀嘆無窮已。
有客從外來,聞之常歡喜。
迎問其消息,輒復非鄉里。
邂逅徼時願,骨肉來迎己。
己得自解免,當復棄兒子。
天屬綴人心,念別無會期。
存亡永乖隔,不忍與之辭。
兒前抱我頸,問母欲何之。
人言母當去,豈復有還時。
阿母常仁惻,今何更不慈。
我尚未成人,奈何不顧思。
見此崩五內,恍惚生狂痴。
號泣手撫摩,當發復回疑。
兼有同時輩,相送告離別。
慕我獨得歸,哀叫聲摧裂。
馬為立踟躕,車為不轉轍。
觀者皆噓唏,行路亦嗚咽。
去去割情戀,遄征日遐邁。
悠悠三千里,何時復交會。
念我出腹子,匈臆為摧敗。
既至家人盡,又復無中外。
城廓為山林,庭宇生荊艾。
白骨不知誰,縱橫莫覆蓋。
出門無人聲,豺狼號且吠。
煢煢對孤景,怛吒糜肝肺。
登高遠眺望,魂神忽飛逝。
奄若壽命盡,旁人相寬大。
為復強視息,雖生何聊賴。
託命於新人,竭心自勖勵。
流離成鄙賤,常恐復捐廢。
人生幾何時,懷憂終年歲。

一是忠实记录了汉诗创作与古壮字交融的文化现象。清代壮族诗人张鸿翮(hé)《大塘谣》(《峤西诗钞》卷二)云:
去了休。去到大塘红蓼洲。红蓼生花,不结子。绿朴生花,毬见毬。
诗中所说“绿朴”,是壮族对柚子的惯称。“柚子”,壮语发音为“bug”。根据《古壮字字典》,其对应的古壮字为“朴(㭪)”。诗人将古壮字运用到汉文诗歌创作中,刻下了明清壮汉文化交相辉映的注脚。
This sort of thing is why Zhuang and Tangut inclusion is important, as they show how flexible Literary Chinese can be. --->

Boyan's Poem from the 元史
伯顏,蒙古巴林部人。至元十一年拜中書左丞相,總兵伐宋。官至開府儀同三司,薨贈太師,封淮安王,諡忠武。
《玉堂嘉話》:初,宋未下時,江南謠云:「江南若破,白雁來過。」當時莫喻其意。及宋亡,蓋知指丞相巴延也。

馬首經從庾嶺回 【 庾嶺回 七修類稿(乾隆刊本)卷四十六作「嶺島歸」。】 ,王師到處悉平夷。擔頭不帶江南物,只插梅花一兩枝。

Welcome to the Wikibook for Literary Chinese (Known as 漢文 "Han Language" in East Asia or 文言 "Literary Language" in China), aimed at individuals hoping to gain a general knowledge of it before progressing into genres they wish to be acquainted with.
This is not the [[Classical Chinese]] textbook, which is aimed at Chinese Zhou-Qin era texts. This text aims to shed light on post-Zhou-Qin texts across East Asia, which mimic those texts. It does so through a "buffet" approach, showering you, the reader, with an ocean of texts of myriad genre.
==Table of Contents==

* [[/Introduction/]]

=== Useful primers ===
Across history, many primers have been made for teaching Literary Chinese to children. These are a few that are recommended for use alongside this work, ideally in flashcards.
* [https://www.fdgwz.org.cn/Web/Show/11308 倉頡篇] - Cangjie's Chapters, the earliest one. It is extant, but incomplete. It contains several rare characters, and so if used, I would personally recommend doing so later, or out of interest.
* 三字經 - The Three Character Classic, an excellent piece for Confucian education. Pair with 弟子规 for best results.
** 三字經(太平天國版)- For Christians, there is a version made by Hong Xiuquan from the Taiping Rebellion. Despite the context, it is a legitimately useful primer and can be used to self-teach for the Delegate's Edition of the Christian Bible.
* 千字文 - The Thousand Character Classic, a remarkable piece of constrained writing that only uses each character once. Amazing for building vocabulary whilst seeing historical allusions and the like.
* 五字鑑 - The Five-Character Mirror, essentially the 24 Histories of China compressed into a primer. Uses 5-character couplets, the longest in this list.
* 龍文鞭影 - The Shadow of Longwen's Whip, a historical allusion trainer. Best paired with a context piece.
===Unit 0: The Han script===
This unit is intended for those with no familiarity of the Han script. It will prepare you for the units ahead, teaching largely pictographic characters.
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around 30 characters.
* Understand how characters are composed and how this gives them meaning.
* Have a basic idea of how to handwrite and/or type characters.
* Know some bare basics of Literary Chinese grammar (e.g. Basic word order, where adjectives go, lack of "is", 有...)
Lessons:

# [[/Recognizing Phonetics/]] <!--- time to deploy my one-syllable articles! --->
# [[/Cangjie Created Characters/]]
===Unit 1: Basic Skills===
This unit is intended for those with minimal familiarity with the Han script and no familiarity with Literary Chinese. There is a focus on simple structures, skills for dissecting common textual structures, and short-form poetry in this unit.
Before starting this unit, students should:
* Recognise around ~30 characters.
* Can use Cangjie input.
* Have given Unit 0 a cursory glance.
<br>
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around ~100 characters.
* Comprehend numbers, the Heavenly Stems, and the Earthly Branches, and be able to use them to quantify time and date.
* Intuit the basic topic -> comment idea behind Literary Chinese. "This, it is..."
* Understand basic function words such as 也, 而, 有, and 謂.

===Unit 2: An Overview of Sinitic Poetry===
This unit will teach you how Sinitic Poetry operates; - that is, the way individuals in the Sinosphere compose poetry in Literary Chinese. Despite this language's fall out of favour in the past century, this tradition is still remarkably alive and well, and their short length makes them more accessible than elaborate prose. In this unit, you will begin from the ''Classic of Poetry'' before travelling through poems from the Tang dynasty, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, the Ryukyu Kingdom, and Korea. When introducing poetry, I will furthermore use the language from the nation it is from to show how it is recited by its people.
After discussing the Classic of Poetry, we will also be a small detour into a discussion on Ping-Ze 平仄, the Tang dynasty system of alternating tones, so to produce rhyme on tonal and phonological levels. This had a major impact on Literary Chinese poetry as a whole!
By the end of this Unit, students will:
* Recognise around 120 more characters.
* Be able to explain how Sinitic Poetry rhymes and the themes it contains.
* Be able to use function words such as 在, 無, 不, 聿, and 于/於 in poetic contexts.
* Recognise the switch between 吾/我 in the subject-object positions and demonstrate it in usage.
* (Chinese speakers) Be able to differentiate 于 and 於, and understand the "interest(ed) in" meaning of 好 in most circumstances.
<!---
Summary of the above part about 于 and 於 for other editors:
于 and 於 were distinct words for an extremely long time and were still such to Literary Chinese writers. Their "merging" through Simplified-Traditional Chinese distinctions is a very modern thing. I will summarise their usages here, using Pulleyblank's Outline of Classical Chinese Grammar (2000);
* 于 - This can mean "to go" or "to/at". 黃鳥于飛 "The yellow birds go flying". Must be post-verbal. It can also appear in 至于.
* 於 - This is an all-purpose locative preposition - from "on/at/in" to "from" or even "than" (甲於乙). The implication of motion is not there at all. Must be pre-verbal. It can also appear in 之於 or be an archaic noun for a crow 於 (烏).

By the end of this unit, students should be able to:
* Recognise around 200+ characters.
* Read basic annals and histories with some dictionary assistance, and comprehend 3-character structures reliably.
* Have encountered basic grammatical points such as 之、乎、者、也、而、則、乃、所、以、於、于、與、且、蓋、and 夫.
** 於 and 于 should be distinguishable.
* Survive a text of at least 250 characters and read for gist.

諷諫歌·大瑟瑟
勿嗟塞上兮暗紅塵。
勿傷多難兮畏夷人。
不如塞奸邪之路兮選取賢臣。
直須臥薪嚐膽兮激壯士之捐身。
可以朝清漠北兮夕枕燕雲。
Dasese (or 萧瑟瑟) was a Khitan consort to Emperor Tianzuo of Liao. She remonstrated him as the Jurchens were beginning to encroach upon the Khitan, and was forced to commit suicide for her remonstrance. Tianzuo would soon pay for his malfeasance.

悲憤詩
〔兩漢〕蔡文姬
漢季失權柄,董卓亂天常。
志欲圖篡弒,先害諸賢良。
逼迫遷舊邦,擁主以自強。
海內興義師,欲共討不祥。
卓眾來東下,金甲耀日光。
平土人脆弱,來兵皆胡羌。
獵野圍城邑,所向悉破亡。
斬截無孑遺,屍骸相撐拒。
馬邊懸男頭,馬後載婦女。
長驅西入關,迥路險且阻。
還顧邈冥冥,肝脾為爛腐。
所略有萬計,不得令屯聚。
或有骨肉俱,欲言不敢語。
失意幾微間,輒言斃降虜。
要當以亭刃,我曹不活汝。
豈復惜性命,不堪其詈罵。
或便加棰杖,毒痛參並下。
旦則號泣行,夜則悲吟坐。
欲死不能得,欲生無一可。
彼蒼者何辜,乃遭此厄禍。
邊荒與華異,人俗少義理。
處所多霜雪,胡風春夏起。
翩翩吹我衣,肅肅入我耳。
感時念父母,哀嘆無窮已。
有客從外來,聞之常歡喜。
迎問其消息,輒復非鄉里。
邂逅徼時願,骨肉來迎己。
己得自解免,當復棄兒子。
天屬綴人心,念別無會期。
存亡永乖隔,不忍與之辭。
兒前抱我頸,問母欲何之。
人言母當去,豈復有還時。
阿母常仁惻,今何更不慈。
我尚未成人,奈何不顧思。
見此崩五內,恍惚生狂痴。
號泣手撫摩,當發復回疑。
兼有同時輩,相送告離別。
慕我獨得歸,哀叫聲摧裂。
馬為立踟躕,車為不轉轍。
觀者皆噓唏,行路亦嗚咽。
去去割情戀,遄征日遐邁。
悠悠三千里,何時復交會。
念我出腹子,匈臆為摧敗。
既至家人盡,又復無中外。
城廓為山林,庭宇生荊艾。
白骨不知誰,縱橫莫覆蓋。
出門無人聲,豺狼號且吠。
煢煢對孤景,怛吒糜肝肺。
登高遠眺望,魂神忽飛逝。
奄若壽命盡,旁人相寬大。
為復強視息,雖生何聊賴。
託命於新人,竭心自勖勵。
流離成鄙賤,常恐復捐廢。
人生幾何時,懷憂終年歲。

# [[/Zhuang poetry with Zhang Honghe/]]
<!--- https://wenyi.gmw.cn/2024-06/25/content_37398911.htm
一是忠实记录了汉诗创作与古壮字交融的文化现象。清代壮族诗人张鸿翮(hé)《大塘谣》(《峤西诗钞》卷二)云:
去了休。去到大塘红蓼洲。红蓼生花,不结子。绿朴生花,毬见毬。
诗中所说“绿朴”,是壮族对柚子的惯称。“柚子”,壮语发音为“bug”。根据《古壮字字典》,其对应的古壮字为“朴(㭪)”。诗人将古壮字运用到汉文诗歌创作中,刻下了明清壮汉文化交相辉映的注脚。
This sort of thing is why Zhuang and Tangut inclusion is important, as they show how flexible Literary Chinese can be. --->

Welcome to the Wikibook for Literary Chinese (Known as 漢文 "Han Language" in East Asia or 文言 "Literary Language" in China), aimed at individuals hoping to gain a general knowledge of it before progressing into genres they wish to be acquainted with.
This is not the [[Classical Chinese]] textbook, which is aimed at Chinese Zhou-Qin era texts. This text aims to shed light on post-Zhou-Qin texts across East Asia, which mimic those texts. It does so through a "buffet" approach, showering you, the reader, with an ocean of texts of myriad genre.
==Table of Contents==
=== Front matter ===
* [[/Introduction/]]
* [[/Appendices/]]
=== Useful resources ===
These are quick grab-bags that can be useful for vocabulary-building.
* [[/Antonym List/]] <!--- 文/武,大/小,厚/薄,橫/縱...--->

<!--- this will be translated eventually, but right now it's bad to just leave this here. --->
=== Useful primers ===
Across history, many primers have been made for teaching Literary Chinese to children. These are a few that are recommended for use alongside this work, ideally in flashcards.
* [https://www.fdgwz.org.cn/Web/Show/11308 倉頡篇] - Cangjie's Chapters, the earliest one. It is extant, but incomplete. It contains several rare characters, and so if used, I would personally recommend doing so later, or out of interest.
* 三字經 - The Three Character Classic, an excellent piece for Confucian education. Pair with 弟子规 for best results.
** 三字經(太平天國版)- For Christians, there is a version made by Hong Xiuquan from the Taiping Rebellion. Despite the context, it is a legitimately useful primer and can be used to self-teach for the Delegate's Edition of the Christian Bible.
* 千字文 - The Thousand Character Classic, a remarkable piece of constrained writing that only uses each character once. Amazing for building vocabulary whilst seeing historical allusions and the like.
* 五字鑑 - The Five-Character Mirror, essentially the 24 Histories of China compressed into a primer. Uses 5-character couplets, the longest in this list.
* 龍文鞭影 - The Shadow of Longwen's Whip, a historical allusion trainer. Best paired with a context piece.
===Unit 0: The Han script===
This unit is intended for those with no familiarity of the Han script. It will prepare you for the units ahead, teaching largely pictographic characters.
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around 30 characters.
* Understand how characters are composed and how this gives them meaning.
* Have a basic idea of how to handwrite and/or type characters.
* Know some bare basics of Literary Chinese grammar (e.g. Basic word order, where adjectives go, lack of "is", 有...)

# [[/Cangjie Created Characters/]]
===Unit 1: Basic Skills===
This unit is intended for those with minimal familiarity with the Han script and no familiarity with Literary Chinese. There is a focus on simple structures, skills for dissecting common textual structures, and short-form poetry in this unit.
Before starting this unit, students should:
* Recognise around ~30 characters.
* Can use Cangjie input.
* Have given Unit 0 a cursory glance.
<br>
By the end of this unit, students will:
* Recognise around ~100 characters.
* Comprehend numbers, the Heavenly Stems, and the Earthly Branches, and be able to use them to quantify time and date.
* Intuit the basic topic -> comment idea behind Literary Chinese. "This, it is..."
* Understand basic function words such as 也, 而, 有, and 謂.

E.g. 三國史記 - 十五年京城旱。秋七月,蝗。very few new characters, lots one can use. Instantly able to use.
https://zh.wikisource.org/wiki/%E4%B8%89%E5%9C%8B%E5%8F%B2%E8%A8%98/%E5%8D%B701
Skimming annals is very possible and a very useful skill. Don't skip out on it. Teach students to skim read!!!

===Unit 2: An Overview of Sinitic Poetry===
This unit will teach you how Sinitic Poetry operates; - that is, the way individuals in the Sinosphere compose poetry in Literary Chinese. Despite this language's fall out of favour in the past century, this tradition is still remarkably alive and well, and their short length makes them more accessible than elaborate prose. In this unit, you will begin from the ''Classic of Poetry'' before travelling through poems from the Tang dynasty, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, the Ryukyu Kingdom, and Korea. When introducing poetry, I will furthermore use the language from the nation it is from to show how it is recited by its people.
After discussing the Classic of Poetry, we will also be a small detour into a discussion on Ping-Ze 平仄, the Tang dynasty system of alternating tones, so to produce rhyme on tonal and phonological levels. This had a major impact on Literary Chinese poetry as a whole!
By the end of this Unit, students will:
* Recognise around 120 more characters.
* Be able to explain how Sinitic Poetry rhymes and the themes it contains.
* Be able to use function words such as 在, 無, 不, 聿, and 于/於 in poetic contexts.
* Recognise the switch between 吾/我 in the subject-object positions and demonstrate it in usage.
* (Chinese speakers) Be able to differentiate 于 and 於, and understand the "interest(ed) in" meaning of 好 in most circumstances.
<!---
Summary of the above part about 于 and 於 for other editors:
于 and 於 were distinct words for an extremely long time and were still such to Literary Chinese writers. Their "merging" through Simplified-Traditional Chinese distinctions is a very modern thing. I will summarise their usages here, using Pulleyblank's Outline of Classical Chinese Grammar (2000);
* 于 - This can mean "to go" or "to/at". 黃鳥于飛 "The yellow birds go flying". Must be post-verbal. It can also appear in 至于.
* 於 - This is an all-purpose locative preposition - from "on/at/in" to "from" or even "than" (甲於乙). The implication of motion is not there at all. Must be pre-verbal. It can also appear in 之於 or be an archaic noun for a crow 於 (烏).

===Unit 4: Women's Writing===
In this unit, women's writing from various areas of China will be explored. This is chiefly targeted at poetry and the themes within; from the feminine voice of the Classic of Poetry to the remonstrance towards the Khitan Emperor Tianzuo of Jin by his Consort Dasese. The role of women in courtly society is to be elucidated here!

Dasese (or 萧瑟瑟) was a Khitan consort to Emperor Tianzuo of Liao. She remonstrated him as the Jurchens were beginning to encroach upon the Khitan, and was forced to commit suicide for her remonstrance. Tianzuo would soon pay for his malfeasance.

悲憤詩
〔兩漢〕蔡文姬
漢季失權柄,董卓亂天常。
志欲圖篡弒,先害諸賢良。
逼迫遷舊邦,擁主以自強。
海內興義師,欲共討不祥。
卓眾來東下,金甲耀日光。
平土人脆弱,來兵皆胡羌。
獵野圍城邑,所向悉破亡。
斬截無孑遺,屍骸相撐拒。
馬邊懸男頭,馬後載婦女。
長驅西入關,迥路險且阻。
還顧邈冥冥,肝脾為爛腐。
所略有萬計,不得令屯聚。
或有骨肉俱,欲言不敢語。
失意幾微間,輒言斃降虜。
要當以亭刃,我曹不活汝。
豈復惜性命,不堪其詈罵。
或便加棰杖,毒痛參並下。
旦則號泣行,夜則悲吟坐。
欲死不能得,欲生無一可。
彼蒼者何辜,乃遭此厄禍。
邊荒與華異,人俗少義理。
處所多霜雪,胡風春夏起。
翩翩吹我衣,肅肅入我耳。
感時念父母,哀嘆無窮已。
有客從外來,聞之常歡喜。
迎問其消息,輒復非鄉里。
邂逅徼時願,骨肉來迎己。
己得自解免,當復棄兒子。
天屬綴人心,念別無會期。
存亡永乖隔,不忍與之辭。
兒前抱我頸,問母欲何之。
人言母當去,豈復有還時。
阿母常仁惻,今何更不慈。
我尚未成人,奈何不顧思。
見此崩五內,恍惚生狂痴。
號泣手撫摩,當發復回疑。
兼有同時輩,相送告離別。
慕我獨得歸,哀叫聲摧裂。
馬為立踟躕,車為不轉轍。
觀者皆噓唏,行路亦嗚咽。
去去割情戀,遄征日遐邁。
悠悠三千里,何時復交會。
念我出腹子,匈臆為摧敗。
既至家人盡,又復無中外。
城廓為山林,庭宇生荊艾。
白骨不知誰,縱橫莫覆蓋。
出門無人聲,豺狼號且吠。
煢煢對孤景,怛吒糜肝肺。
登高遠眺望,魂神忽飛逝。
奄若壽命盡,旁人相寬大。
為復強視息,雖生何聊賴。
託命於新人,竭心自勖勵。
流離成鄙賤,常恐復捐廢。
人生幾何時,懷憂終年歲。

皇帝敕諭琉球國中山王世子尚貞:惟爾遠處海隅,虔修職貢;屬在塚嗣,序應承祧。以朝命未膺,罔敢專擅;恪遵典制,奉表請封。朕念爾世守臣節,忠誠可嘉!特遣正使翰林院檢討汪楫、副使內閣中書舍人加一級林麟焻,齎敕封爾為琉球國中山王,並賜爾及妃文幣等物。爾祗承寵眷,懋紹先猷;輯和臣民,慎固封守:用安宗社於苞桑,永作天家之屏翰。欽哉,毋替朕命!故諭。
Teach imperial edicts.
Consider seeing if there's a letter of acceptance from Shō Tei.

<!--- Basically, there are Zhuang and Tangut peoples who wrote in Literary Chinese, and their inclusion here is to show that even those who made their own scripts would use this tongue. 张鸿翮 imported the character 朴 to describe a bug, for example. --->
# [[/Zhuang poetry with Zhang Honghe/]]
<!--- https://wenyi.gmw.cn/2024-06/25/content_37398911.htm
一是忠实记录了汉诗创作与古壮字交融的文化现象。清代壮族诗人张鸿翮(hé)《大塘谣》(《峤西诗钞》卷二)云:
去了休。去到大塘红蓼洲。红蓼生花,不结子。绿朴生花,毬见毬。
诗中所说“绿朴”,是壮族对柚子的惯称。“柚子”,壮语发音为“bug”。根据《古壮字字典》,其对应的古壮字为“朴(㭪)”。诗人将古壮字运用到汉文诗歌创作中,刻下了明清壮汉文化交相辉映的注脚。
This sort of thing is why Zhuang and Tangut inclusion is important, as they show how flexible Literary Chinese can be. --->

Boyan's Poem from the 元史
伯顏,蒙古巴林部人。至元十一年拜中書左丞相,總兵伐宋。官至開府儀同三司,薨贈太師,封淮安王,諡忠武。
《玉堂嘉話》:初,宋未下時,江南謠云:「江南若破,白雁來過。」當時莫喻其意。及宋亡,蓋知指丞相巴延也。

馬首經從庾嶺回 【 庾嶺回 七修類稿(乾隆刊本)卷四十六作「嶺島歸」。】 ,王師到處悉平夷。擔頭不帶江南物,只插梅花一兩枝。

《疑猜》盧若騰,東寧國
盟誓變為交質子,春秋戰國風如此;末世上下相疑猜, 更質妻子防逃徙。
此法只可羈庸奴,若遇梟雄術窮矣;妻可再娶子再育, 安能長坐針氈裏。
我贈一法君記存;推心置腹人知恩;眾人畜之眾人報, 幾個國士在君門。
盧若騰撰,陳漢光編輯,《島噫詩》,臺灣文獻叢刊第二四五種(臺北:臺灣銀行經濟研究室,1968年)21頁。

Software is currently used to study the operation of electric power transmission lines. As an example, this article presents a program developed in the late 1970s to analyze the electrical behaviour of power lines.
The program was used for about a decade in the second half of the 20th century by the European electric utility Iberduero, based in Bilbao (Basque Country). Written by the author of this article, who was also its only user, it ceased to be used when he left the transmission power line department during a company restructuring. Several years after his retirement, he was the only person aware of its existence, capabilities, and accuracy.
Although the program is now obsolete, it can still be used to calculate line parameters, the electric and magnetic fields produced by the line, and the voltage and current imbalances generated under different operating conditions. It can also be used to study overvoltages caused by ferroresonance when one circuit of a double-circuit line is de-energized while connected to a shunt reactor at one end. The resulting overvoltages are not calculated with high accuracy, but the program allows identification of the reactance values for which they may occur.
The program is written in the FORTRAN programming language, which was commonly used for technical calculations at the time. Although minor modifications have been made to allow it to run on more recent computers and compilers, the source code largely retains the structure of the original version
Initially the software consisted of two separate programs: EREMU, mainly intended to calculate the electric and magnetic fields produced by AC overhead power lines, and PARLI, used to calculate their principal parameters and representative operating conditions.
These programs were later merged into a single program in a way that preserved compatibility with the previously used input data files. This origin is still evident in the source code.
The electric and magnetic field calculations are performed in accordance with the methods described in ''Transmission Line Reference Book: 345 kV and Above'' (TLRB)<ref name="TLRB345kV">{{cite book|last1=Chaston|first1=A.N.|last2=LaForest|first2=J.J.|last3=Ramirez|first3=A.R.|last4=and|first4=others|url=https://books.google.es/books/about/Transmission_line_reference_book_345_KV.html?id=17MsAQAAIAAJ&redir_esc=y |title=Transmission Line Reference Book 345 kV and Above|year=1975|edition=1st|pages=393}}</ref>, published by the Electric Power Research Institute in 1975, and ''L’Effet de Couronne en Tension Alternative'' (ECTA)<ref name="ECTA-EDF">{{cite book|last1=Gary|first1=Claude|last2=Moreau|first2=Marcel|title=L’Effet de Couronne en Tension Alternative|edition=1st|year=1977|url=https://www.eyrolles.com/BTP/Livre/l-effet-de-couronne-en-tension-alternative-9782212015539/ |publisher=Eyrolles|pages=464}}</ref>, published by Eyrolles in 1976 as part of the ''Collection de la Direction des Études et Recherches d’Électricité de France''.
Calculations of other line parameters, including series impedances, shunt admittances, ABCD parameters, noise profiles, and imbalances under operating conditions, are also carried out following the procedures described in the TLRB.
The analysis of resonant overvoltages is performed by means of successive imbalance calculations with different shunt reactors connected at one end, the other end, or both ends of the line.
The complete program is provided so that interested users can copy it and run it using a free FORTRAN compiler.
One suitable compiler is available from the Silverfrost website, which provides a free version for private use. Using the FTN95 Personal Edition compiler, the program can be compiled and executed without modification.
== Input data for running the program ==
As was common in files of that period, the input data are written in lines with a maximum length of 80 characters.
Although minor changes have been made to improve the documentation of the program, it is still not fully documented and no detailed instructions for its use are available. In addition, the method of entering input data may not be entirely clear.
To assist anyone wishing to run the program, this section provides the data used to generate the results presented in this Wikibook. To run the program initially, copy this data into a file.
Some of the input data may appear unusual, but they were chosen to illustrate how the data are entered rather than to represent realistic cases.
The first two cases are intended to illustrate how the results of the program for the electric and magnetic fields should be interpreted at any location near a power line.
The third case presents some of the line parameters used in the calculation of the electric and magnetic fields and shows that the values of the potential gradients (electric fields) at the conductor surface, as calculated by the program for single-circuit lines, are consistent with those given in Figure 3.2.8 of the TLRB.
The fourth and fifth cases show that the values of the potential gradients (electric fields) at the conductor surface, as calculated by the program for double-circuit lines, are consistent with those given in Figures 3.2.24 and 3.2.25 of the TLRB. In these cases, in addition to the conductor surface gradients used for comparison with the aforementioned figures, the electric and magnetic fields at other locations near the lines are also calculated. This makes it possible to observe the significant influence of the phase arrangement of the second circuit relative to that of the first circuit on the electric and magnetic fields in the surrounding space.
The sixth case compares the acoustic noise profile calculated by the program with the values presented in Chapter 6 of the TLRB.

== Electric and magnetic fields ==
=== Calculations ===
==== Electric field on the surface of conductors ====
The electric field on the surface of conductors is calculated as señaled on pages 7 to 15 of ECTA<ref name="ECTA-EDF"/> and 109 to 111 of TLRF<ref name="TLRB345kV"/>.
Taking into acount that the ground surface can be considered an equipotential surface at zero potential, if the ground surface is represented as a plane (flat surface) at zero potential, the potential at any point above that surface created by the electric charges in <math>n</math> conductors is calculated considering these <math>n</math> charges and other <math>n</math> opposite charges situadeted simetricaly to the original ones with respect to the ground plane; as shown in the figure F1.
With that disposition the potential of an uncharged condutor <math>j </math> dew to the charge of the conductor <math>i</math> would be:
<math>V_{ji} = {-\frac{q_i}{2\pi\epsilon_0}}\ln{D_{ji}} - {\frac{-q_i}{2\pi\epsilon_0}}\ln{D'_{ji}} = {\frac{q_i}{2\pi\epsilon_0}}\ln\frac{D'_{ji}}{D_{ji}}</math>
At the surface of the <math>i</math> conductor of radius <math>r_i</math> and placed at an height <math>h_i</math> above the gound, taking into acount that <math>2h_i >> r_i</math>, would be:
<math>V_{ii} = {\frac{q_i}{2\pi\epsilon_0}}\ln\frac{2h_i}{r_i}</math>
where:
<math>q_i</math> = uniform linear charge density of <math>i</math> conductor.
<math>h_i</math> = <math>i</math> conductor height.
<math>r_i </math> = <math>i</math> conductor radius.
<math>D'_{ji}</math> = direct distance from conductor <math>j</math> to image conductor <math>i</math>.
<math>D_{ji}</math> = direct distance from conductor <math>j</math> to conductor <math>i</math>
<math>\epsilon</math> = dielectric constant = <math>\frac {1}{36\pi}10^{-9}</math> farads/meter for air.
So
Considering the <math>n</math> conductors:
<math>V_1 = P_{11}q_1 + .. + P_{1i}q_i + .. + P_{1n}q_n</math>
..............................................................
<math>V_i= P_{i1}q_1 + .. + P_{ii}q_i + .. + P_{in}q_n</math>
..............................................................
<math>V_n = P_{n1}q_1 + .. + P_{ni}q_i + .. + P_{nn}q_n</math>
in matrix notation
<math>
\begin{Bmatrix}
V_1\\
..\\
V_i\\
..\\
V_n\\
\end{Bmatrix}
=\begin{bmatrix}
P_{11} & .. & P_{1i}& .. & P_{1n} \\
.. & .. & .. & .. & .. \\
P_{i1} & .. & P_{ii}& .. & P_{in} \\
.. & .. & .. & .. & .. \\
P_{n1} & .. & P_{ni} & .. & P_{nn} \\
\end{bmatrix}
\begin{Bmatrix}
q_1\\
..\\
q_i\\
..\\
q_n\\
\end{Bmatrix}
</math>
and more succinctly for a system of <math>m+n</math> conductors
<math>
\begin{Bmatrix}
V_{m+n}\\
\end{Bmatrix}
=\begin{bmatrix}
P_{m+n,m+n} \\
\end{bmatrix}
\begin{Bmatrix}
q_{m+n}\\
\end{Bmatrix}
</math>
Where <math>\begin{Bmatrix}
V_{m+n}\\
\end{Bmatrix}</math> is the column vector of electric potentials of the <math>m+n</math> conductors, and <math>
\begin{Bmatrix}
q_{m+n}\\
\end{Bmatrix}</math> is the column vector of charge per unit length of these conductors. The <math>(m+n).(m+n)</math> square matrix <math>\begin{bmatrix}
P_{m+n,m+n} \\
\end{bmatrix}</math> is known as the matrix of Maxwell potential coefficients of the system.
Thus, if the Maxwell potential coefficients of an electric line are known, the conductor potentials can be expressed as a function of their linear charge densities. However, in practical applications, the conductor potentials are typically known, whereas the quantities required to compute the resulting electric fields are the linear charge densities.
To obtain these, both sides of the previous equation are premultiplied by the inverse of the Maxwell potential coefficient matrix.
This yields:

=== Program results for that data ===
[[File:AC overhead power line electromagnetic fields en.gif|thumb|Electric and magnetic fields at a single point below a 750 kV AC overhead power line.]]
This section shows how the program presents the calculated electric and magnetic fields, how the data provided for these fields at locations other than the conductor surface should be interpreted, and the influence of phase arrangement in double-circuit lines on the resulting fields.
The adjacent figure illustrates the meaning of the data presented by the program on pages three and four for the electric and magnetic fields at a point located 12 m from the line centre and 4 m above ground level.
The most relevant values are those shown in the last four columns of these pages, and they are presented in static form in the figure. The program is not designed to calculate directly the time-varying values also shown in the figure. To obtain these values without modifying the program, it is necessary to repeat the calculations 36 times, each time changing the phase angles of the input voltages and currents by 10 degrees.
Theoretically, the three phases A, B, and C of an AC three-phase system can be assigned to the conductors of a single-circuit transmission line in six different ways: ABC, BCA, CAB, ACB, CBA, and BAC. In practice, however, the first three configurations are equivalent, since under steady-state conditions the voltages and currents in the conductors behave identically in each case. The same equivalence applies to the last three configurations.

An analysis of the results shown on pages 1 to 8 of the program output for lines L01 and L02 indicates that the electric and magnetic fields generated by these two phase configurations are identical. The only difference is that the direction of rotation of the fields outside the conductors is reversed.
_ The voltage gradients (electric fields) at the conductor surfaces do not rotate and are identical in both cases.
_ The maximum and minimum values of the electric and magnetic fields at all points outside the conductors are also identical in both cases.
_ At all locations where the minimum field value is nonzero, the direction of field rotation is opposite in the two configurations.
To interpret these results, it is necessary to consider that the absolute difference in angular position of the fields over a 5 ms interval must be less than 180°. Accordingly, defining FAP1 and FAP2 as the angular positions of the fields at instants 1 and 2, respectively, the rotation over 5 ms is given by:
• FAP2 − FAP1, if |FAP2 − FAP1| < 180°
• FAP2 − FAP1 + 360°, if |FAP2 − FAP1| ≥ 180° and FAP2 − FAP1 < 0
• FAP2 − FAP1 − 360°, if |FAP2 − FAP1| ≥ 180° and FAP2 − FAP1 > 0
Note:
In the analyzed cases, the angular velocities of the rotating fields may appear to differ. However, this is due to the fact that the angular velocity is not constant: it is higher when the field magnitude is lower and lower when the field magnitude is higher. Additionally, the initial field values (corresponding to the instantaneous voltage and current conditions specified in the input data) are different in each case.

On pages 51, 52, 58, and 61 of transmission lines L10, L11, and L12 are illustrated the effects of using shunt reactors connected to an end of a long transmission line or a weak system to prevent overvoltages under light-load conditions, and series capacitors to compensate for the inductive reactance of loaded transmission lines, as described in the [[w:en:Voltage control and reactive power management|Voltage control and reactive power management]] Wikipedia article.
The output of the program for those lines and two operating conditions (moderate inductive load and no load) is the following:

C The original PARLI program to calculate electromagnetic parameters
C and operating conditions of AC overhead transmission lines
C (it can also be used to conduct ferroresonance studies)
C and the EREMU program to calculate electromagnetic fields
C created by AC overhead transmission lines
C were created by Jon Peli Oleaga Olabarria
C at the end of the 1970s.
C They were merged in the last 1980s, and later
C they have been changed just to compile them with newer compilers
C and to add a second language; changing only the strictly necessary.
C Input data still are inserted in 80 columns as with the old cards.
C The incorporation of a second language has been done
C in a rather naif and unsystematic way.
C The lines in lowercase were added later
C to slightly improve the program documentation.

'''Cola''' is a type of soda that flavored with [[Cookbook:Citrus|citrus]] and [[Cookbook:Herbs and Spices|spices]]. The word "cola" derives from kola nuts, a plant originating in West Africa and originally used as a source of caffeine to make this soda. Most modern recipes do not contain kola nuts.
This recipe is derived from a LabCoatz video where he tries to replicate modern Coca-Cola through mass spectrometry.<ref>{{Citation |last=LabCoatz |title=Perfectly Replicating Coca Cola (It Took Me A Year) |date=2026-01-08 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDkH3EbWTYc |access-date=2026-03-14}}</ref>
Note that consuming high levels of caffeine can be very dangerous. If you are scaling the recipe up or down, make sure you scale the caffeine accordingly so that the per-serving caffeine amount stays the same or is lower. Absolutely do not use more than triple the listed proportion of caffeine.
==Ingredients==
'''Flavor solution A:'''
* 1 drop [[Cookbook:Coriander|coriander]] oil
* 1 drop fenchol
* 2 drops [[Cookbook:Orange|orange]] oil
* 4 drops [[Cookbook:Nutmeg|nutmeg]] oil
* 7 drops cassia oil
* 12 drops tea tree oil (optional, read important warning below)
* 61 drops [[Cookbook:Lime|lime]] oil
* 76 drops [[Cookbook:Lemon|lemon]] oil
* 50 ml 150+ proof unflavored [[Cookbook:Spirits|spirit]] or a mixture of 25 ml water with 25 ml gum arabic
'''Flavor solution B:'''
* 0.08 g wine tannins
* 0.0965 g caffeine (optional)
* 0.1 ml or 2 drops vanilla extract
* 0.1 ml or 2 drops 5% vinegar
* 0.45 ml or 9 drops 85% phosphoric acid
* 1.75 g glycerin
* 3.2 ml or 64 drops caramel color
'''Syrup:'''
* ½ cup (120 ml) [[Cookbook:Sugar|white sugar]]
* ½ cup (120 ml) water
* [[Cookbook:Carbonated Water|Carbonated water]], as needed
== Procedure ==
# Mix the oils in flavor solution A in a container.
# Transfer 1 ml of flavor solution A into another container and dilute it with the spirit or gum arabic water.
# Mix flavor solution B in a third container.
# Combine 1 ml of the finished flavor solution A, 10 ml of flavor solution B, the white sugar, and the water to make the syrup.
# To make the finished soda, combine 1 volume of syrup with 5 volumes of carbonated water.
== Notes, tips, and variations ==
* Tea tree oil is very dangerous in large quantities. Do not, under any circumstances, increase the proportion of tea tree oil in your beverage. You may choose to omit it as it is a minor ingredient.
* Use a clean eye dropper to measure drops. Do not use a pipette, an eye dropper previously used for dispensing medication, or a spoon to measure drops.
* Use water from a carbonating machine or a brand of pure carbonated water such as Polar Original Sparkling Water, Great Value Seltzer Water, or Signature Select Seltzer Water. Do not use a brand of mineral water such as Perrier, San Pellegrino, or Mineragua because the added minerals will ruin the taste. Avoid flavored sparkling water such as La Croix or Spindrift because the preexisting fruit flavors will ruin the drink.
* You can make cherry cola by adding 1 tsp (5 ml) of cherry extract in step 4.
* You can make vanilla cola by adding an additional teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract in step 4.

== Getting Used to Maxima By Way of an Example of Use ==
The examples that follows are presented for the purpose of providing some beginning perspective, and hopefully some motivation to make the effort to get familiar with how Maxima works.
The task at hand is relevant in the context of aerodynamics and aviation. The specific goal is to find the dynamic pressure at a true airspeed (VTAS) of 200 ft/s at sea level.
Dynamic pressure <math display="inline">q</math> is calculated using the expression:<math display="block">q = \rho V^2/2</math>Where:
* <math>q</math> = dynamic pressure lbf/ft² (pounds of force per square foot)
* <math display="inline">\rho</math> = air density (at sea level is 0.0023769) slugs/ft³
* <math>V</math> = true airspeed in feet per second (ft/s).
British Engineering units are used in this context to avoid multiple conversions due to the units used. It is better to convert in the end if necessary in this case.
'''Note:''' The appearance of the following Maxima examples may vary depending on Unicode support in the version of Maxima being used and the Maxima user interface -- UI. The Maxima examples used in this book are from the ''wxMaxima'' GUI unless noted otherwise, and a version of Maxima with Unicode support.
First, enter the Maxima expression for dynamic pressure q:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i1) q : 1/2*\ρ*V^2;
(q) (V^2*ρ)/2
</syntaxhighlight>This Maxima expression uses the colon character to assign the expression for dynamic pressure to the identifier q. The identifier q is now simply a name for an expression. The equal sign ( = ) is not used for this operation in Maxima as is the case with some programming languages. This Maxima line of a input expression ends with a semicolon ( ; ) character. Each line of input must end with a semicolon or the dollar sign character ( $ ), the use of which will be described later.
Next, enter an assignment expression for the numerical value of the air density at sea level:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i2) \ρ : 0.0023769;
(ρ) 0.0023769</syntaxhighlight>Density ρ is in the units of slugs per cubic foot - slugs/ft³. With this next input expression, Maxima is asked to evaluate q. This is accomplished by two single quotation marks placed before q as shown next:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i3) ''q;
(%o3) 0.0033855446120918224*VTAS^2
</syntaxhighlight>
The output indicates that q depends on VTAS -- true airspeed. The goal is to evaluate q, if VTAS = 200 ft/s is true. One way to do that is with the following Maxima expression:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i4) ''q, VTAS = 200;
(%o4) 135.42178448367287
</syntaxhighlight>The result is about 135 pounds of force per square foot.
There is another way to accomplish this that may be somewhat more convenient for determining sea level dynamic pressure given true airspeed. First, assign the Maxima floating point literal value of 0.0033855446120918224 to an identifier named <code>c</code> as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i5) c : 0.0033855446120918224;
(c) 0.0033855446120918224</syntaxhighlight>Next, enter<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i6) q(VTAS) := c*VTAS^2;
(%o6) q(VTAS):=c*VTAS^2
</syntaxhighlight><syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i7) q(200);
(%o7) 135.4217844836729
</syntaxhighlight>This result is limited to sea level density. That does not make the result of no practical use. This relationship, or something similar is, used to calibrate aircraft airspeed indicators to display indicated airspeed (IAS) in the cockpit. However, it might be the case that it is necessary to determine the dynamic pressure at other altitudes besides sea level.
In the standard atmosphere model, air density is a function of altitude (h), and is defined piece-wise based on the atmospheric layer.
The density is derived from the Ideal Gas Law: <math>P = \rho R T</math> where in British Engineering units:
* <math>\rho</math> ‒ is density in slugs/ft³
* <math>P</math> ‒ is pressure in lbf/ft²
* <math>T</math>‒ is temperature in °R (Rankine)
* <math>R</math> ‒ is the specific gas constant (for dry air) approximately 1716.56 (ft·lbf)/(slug·°R)
<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i8) P = \ρ*R*T;
(%o8) P=RTρ
</syntaxhighlight>The backslash character ( <code>\</code> ) in front of the character for <math>\rho</math> in the input expression allows an identifier to use Unicode. This makes for some nicer looking output. This is a Maxima mathematical equation expression. This equation can be solved for <math>\rho</math> as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i9) solve(%,\ρ);
(%o58) [ρ=P/(R*T)]</syntaxhighlight>The Maxima built-in identifier <code>%</code> names the last output expression.The output of this expression is a Maxima list object with the only instance being the equation expression solved for <math>\rho</math>. Depending on the expression, the <code>solve()</code> operation may result in more than one solution expression. Maxima creates a list object for one or more solution expressions. This solution equation expression can be accessed as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i10) %[1];
(%o10) ρ=P/(R*T)
</syntaxhighlight>The value of this expression is obtained by referencing the first (and only) solution of the Maxima list object of solutions ‒ <code>[ρ=P*R*T]</code>. The reference is obtained by use of the <code>[1]</code> index syntax as shown. There are other ways Maxima can be used to accomplish the same result: <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i11) igl : P = \ρ*R*T;
(igl) P=R*T*ρ</syntaxhighlight>In this case the expression for the ideal gas law was assigned an identifier <code>igl</code>. The advantage to this sort of assignment is that the equation can be referred to using the identifier as follows for example:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i12) solve(igl,\ρ);
(%o12) [ρ=P/(R*T)]
</syntaxhighlight>The identifier <code>igl</code> can be used at any point to refer to the equation expression: <code>P = \ρ*R*T)</code>. An assignment operator can also be used to assign the identifier <code>solution</code> to an expression. For example:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i13) solve(igl,\ρ);
(%o13) [ρ=P/(R*T)]
(%i14) solution : solve(igl,\ρ);
(solution) [ρ=P/(R*T)]
(%i15) solve(solution,P)[1];
(%o15) P=R*T*ρ</syntaxhighlight>The last input and output expression might be somewhat of a "head-scratcher" at first glance, but it is worthwhile to understand how Maxima works in this case. The identifier solution names an expression that uses the <code>solve()</code> operator on the identifier <code>igl</code> as an argument. This expression is evaluated first by Maxima. Then the <code>solve()</code> operator is applied to the result solving for <code>P</code>. The result is a list object with one solution expression. This expression is then referred to using the <code>[1]</code> index, and the output is the equation expression <code>P=R*T*ρ</code> .
The expression for ρ (density) as a function of pressure (p) and temperature (°F) can be checked against known values using the following expressions: <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i16) \°R(\°F) := \°F + 459.67;
(%o16) °R(°F):=°F+459.67
(%i17) P(p) := p*144.0;
(%o17) P(p):=p*144.0
(%i18) R:1716.56;
(R) 1716.56
(%i19) \ρ(p,\°F) := P(p)/(''R*\°R(\°F));
(%o19) ρ(p,°F):=P(p)/(1716.56*°R(°F))</syntaxhighlight>The above Maxima expressions are examples of Maxima function expressions.
For standard sea level conditions of pressure and temperature as follows,
* p is 14.696 lbf/ft²
* °F is 59.0°
the calculated value for density is:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i20) \ρ(14.696,59.0);
(%20) 0.0023769033250291326</syntaxhighlight>Compare this resulting value of density with the the value of the table below for 0 altitude and temperature of 59.0 °F:

It would be useful to have the means to round result values to a desired number of decimal places. Maxima does not have a built-in operator for rounding decimal fraction values. Also, there is no package that is included as part of the Maxima distribution that provides for this capability. However, Robert Dodier has created a Maxima package that includes a function for this purpose ‒ named <code>excel_round.mac</code><code><ref>{{Cite web |last=Dodier |first=Robert |title=maxima-packages/robert-dodier/excel_round/ |url=https://github.com/maxima-project-on-github/maxima-packages/tree/master/robert-dodier/excel_round|website=GitHub}}</ref></code>.
However, to be able access the <code>excel_round()</code> function of this package, it must first be downloaded or copied into a location accessible to Maxima using the <code>load()</code> operator. The built-in Maxima <code>load()</code> operator is used to access specialized functions that are not built-in to Maxima. In order to use the <code>load()</code> operator, the location of the downloaded <code>excel_round.mac</code> file has to be part of the argument to the <code>load()</code> operator unless the file happens to be in the Maxima current working directory. The built-in <code>operatingsystem</code> package can provide some functions to help with determining the current working directory. This package is loaded as follows: <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i21) load(operatingsystem);
(%o21) "/usr/local/share/maxima/5.49.0/share/contrib/operatingsystem/operatingsystem.mac"
(%i22) getcurrentdirectory();
(%o22) "/home/username/"
</syntaxhighlight>In this example <code>username</code> is the name of the home directory of the user. so if the downloaded <code>excel_round.mac</code> file is not located in the current working directory, then the directory can be changed to the location where the file is located: <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i22) chdir("/home/username/local/maxima/packages");
(%o22) "#P"/home/username/local/maxima/packages""</syntaxhighlight>Now the <code>excel_round.mac</code> file can be loaded assuming it is within the directory
<code>/home/username/local/maxima/packages</code>
as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i23) load("excel_round.mac");
(%o23) "excel_round.mac"
</syntaxhighlight>Alternatively, if the location of the file is known it can be loaded using the full path name as follows for example:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i24) load("/home/username/local/maxima/packages/excel_round.mac");
(%o24) "/home/username/local/maxima/packages/excel_round.mac"
</syntaxhighlight>This method obviates the need for loading the <code>operatingsystem</code> package.
'''Note:''' The ''wxMaxima'' GUI makes loading packages simply a matter of a menu selection.
The density value above can be rounded to six decimal places as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i25) excel_round(ρ(14.696,59.0),6);
(%o25) 0.002377
</syntaxhighlight>This rounded value agrees with the sea level value of <math display="inline">23.77 \cdot 10^{-4}</math> slugs/ft³ taken from the table of Standard Atmosphere values. For Standard Atmosphere values of pressure ( 6.758 lbf/in² ) and temperature ( -12.26 °F ) at 20,000 ft the density value is:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i26) excel_round(ρ(6.759,-12.26),6);
(%o26) 0.001267
</syntaxhighlight>This rounded value agrees with the sea level value of <math display="inline">12.67 \cdot 10^{-4}</math> slugs/ft³ taken from the table of Standard Atmosphere values.
===== Pressure =====
However, what is needed for the task at hand is density as a function of altitude. Both the pressure P and the temperature T can be expressed as a function of altitude h:
<math display="block">P = P_0(1 - L\cdot h/T_0)^{g/(R \cdot L)}
</math>
Where in British Engineering units, the constants are:
* <math display="inline">P</math> is Pressure in pounds per square foot lbf/ft²
* <math display="inline">P_0</math> is (Sea Level Pressure): 2116.224 lbf/ft² or 14.696 lbf/in²
* <math display="inline">R</math> is the specific gas constant (for dry air) approximately 1716.56 (ft·lbf)/(slug·°R)
* <math display="inline">T_0 </math> is (Sea Level Temperature): 518.67 °R (15 °C or 59 °F)
* <math display="inline">L</math> is (Lapse Rate): 0.003563 °R/ft
* <math>g</math> is 32.174 ft/s²
* <math display="inline">h</math> is altitude in feet above sea level
The exponent <math display="inline">\frac{g}{R \cdot L}</math> evaluates to approximately 5.26054:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i27) 32.174/(0.003563*1716.56);
(%o27) 5.260539027391964
(%i28) excel_round(%,5);
(%o28) 5.26054
</syntaxhighlight><math display="inline">L/T_0</math> evaluates to approximately <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i29) 0.003563/518.67;
(%o29) 6.869493126650858*10^-6
(%i30) excel_round(6.869493126650858*10^-6,11);
(%o30) 6.86949*10^-6
</syntaxhighlight>
===== Temperature =====
<math display="inline">T = 518.67 - 0.003563 \cdot h</math>
* <math display="inline">T</math> is Temperature in °R
* <math display="inline">h</math> is altitude in feet.
===== Practical Formulas for Pressure and Temperature =====
Thus, the practical formula for pressure and temperatures in terms of British Engineering units are:
<math>P = 2116.224\cdot(1-(6.86949 \cdot 10^{-6}) \cdot h)^{5.26054}</math> lbf/ft²
<math display="inline">T = 518.67 - 0.003563 \cdot h</math> °R
====== Pressure ======
<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i31) P(h) := 2116.224*(1-6.8649*10^-6*h)^5.26054;
(%o31) P(h):=2116.224*(1-6.8649*10^(-6)*h)^5.26054
(%i32) p(P) := P/144.0;
(%o32) p(P):=P/144.0
(%i33) P(20000);
(%o33) 973.0940875140712
(%i34) p(%);
(%o34) 6.757597829958828
(%i35) excel_round(%,3);
(%o35) 6.758
</syntaxhighlight>
====== Temperature ======
<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i36) T(h) := 518.67 - 0.003563*h;
(%o36) T(h):=518.67-0.003563*h
(%i37) T(20000);
(%o37) 447.40999999999997
(%i38) excel_round(%,2);
(%o38) 447.41
(%i39) \°F(\°R) := \°R -459.67;
(%o39) °F(°R):=°R-459.67
(%i40) \°F(447.41);
(%o40) -12.259999999999991
(%i41) excel_round(%,2);
(%o41) -12.26
</syntaxhighlight>
===== Density =====
The expressions for pressure and temperature as functions of altitude can be used with the expression for the ideal gas law for an expression of density as a function of altitude as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i42) ρ(h) := P(h)/(R*T(h));
(%o42) ρ(h):=P(h)/(R*T(h))
(%i42) excel_round(ρ(20000)*10^4,2);
(%o42) 12.67
</syntaxhighlight>This result agrees with the density value of the standard atmosphere at 20,000 ft. Using the expression for the air density as a function of altitude, an expression for dynamic pressure is as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i43) q(h,VTAS) := ((\ρ(h)*VTAS^2))/2;
(%o43) q(h,VTAS):=(ρ(h)*VTAS^2)/2
</syntaxhighlight>Using the expression above, values of dynamic pressure can be calculated as a function of altitude and true airspeed as follows for 20,000 feet and 15,000 feet at 200 ft/s:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i44) q(20000,200);
(%o44) 25.34079027107967
(%i45) q(15000,200);
(%o45) 29.922636037412556
</syntaxhighlight>This value can be checked using the value for density from the Standard Atmosphere table at 15,000 ft and the expression for dynamic pressure as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i46) excel_round(%,2);
(%o46) 29.92
(%i47) (200.0^2)*0.001496/2.0;
(%o47) 29.919999999999998
(%i48) excel_round(%,2);
(%o48) 29.92
</syntaxhighlight>In the context of aviation and aircraft performance, airspeeds are commonly referenced to knots (nautical miles per hour) instead of ft/s. To determine dynamic pressure as a function of altitude and true airspeed in knots, the following expressions are used:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i49) VTAS(knots) := 1.687811*knots;
(%o49) VTAS(knots):=1.687811*knots
(%i50) excel_round(VTAS(118.49676),2);
(%o50) 200.0
(%i51) q(h,knots)
(%o51) q(h,knots):=(ρ(h)*VTAS(knots)^2)/2
(%i52) excel_round(q(15000,118.49676),2);
(%o52) 29.92
</syntaxhighlight>So approximately 118 knots true airspeed is equivalent to 200 ft/s, and the above expression for dynamic pressure is in terms of a function of altitude in feet and true airspeed in knots.
==== Plotting ====
Maxima has several ways to do plotting. The image that follows is a simple plot of density as a function of altitude produced using the plotting operator <code>wxplot2d()</code>:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i53) T(h) := 518.688 - 0.0035616*h;
(%o53) T(h):=518.688-0.0035616*h
(%i54) P(h) := 2116.224*(1-6.8649*10^-6*h)^5.26054;
(%o54) P(h):=2116.224*(1-6.8649*10^(-6)*h)^5.26054
(%i55) R : 1716.56;
(R) 1716.56
(%i56) ρ(h) := P(h)/(R*T(h));
(%o56) ρ(h):=P(h)/(R*T(h))
(%i57) wxplot2d([ρ(h)], [h,-100,35000])$
</syntaxhighlight>

==== A Practical Application - True Airspeed (TAS) ====
Having the display of TAS during actual flight conditions is very useful information. With the necessary sensors and electronics, TAS can be displayed continuously to pilots during changing flight conditions. One way to accomplish this is to have aircraft sensors that measure values of dynamic pressure, air pressure, and air temperature. These measured values can be used by electronic devices designed to calculate TAS for display and use by other equipment. The essentials of how this could be implemented can be demonstrated using Maxima by way of the expressions that follow:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i1) dpe : q = 1/2*ρ*V^2;
(dpe) q=(V^2*ρ)/2
(%i2) solutions:solve(dpe,V);
(solutions) [V=-(sqrt(2)*sqrt(q/ρ)),V=sqrt(2)*sqrt(q/ρ)]
</syntaxhighlight>The above expressions result in a list of two solution expressions. The second of these two is the one that is useful in this context.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i3) solutions[2];
(%o3) V=sqrt(2)*sqrt(q/ρ)
(%i4) igl : \ρ = P/(R*T);
(igl) ρ=P/(R*T)
(%i5) eq : subst(rhs(igl),\ρ,solutions[2]);
(%o5) V=sqrt(2)*sqrt((R*T*q)/P)
</syntaxhighlight>In the last of the above expressions the <code>subst()</code> operator is used to substitute an expression for density ρ in the expression for speed V.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i6) R :1716.56;
(R) 1716.56
(%i7) V(q,P,T) := ''(rhs(eq));
(%o7) V(q,P,T):=sqrt(2)*sqrt((R*T*q)/P)
</syntaxhighlight>The value for R determines the units:
* dynamic pressure q is in lbf/ft²
* pressure P is in lbf/ft²
* T is in °R
* V is in ft/s
The second of the two expressions above define a Maxima function for V in terms of values of dynamic pressure q, air pressure P, and temperature T.
This expression for speed can be checked using known values. At 15,000 ft if:
q is 29.92 lbf/ft²
P is 1194.79 lbf/ft²
T is 465.24 °R
then:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i8) load("excel_round.mac");
(%o8) "/home/davidmiller/Downloads/excel_round.mac"
(%i9) excel_round(float(V(29.92,1194.79,465.24)),1);
(%o9) 200.0
</syntaxhighlight>This resulting value of 200 ft/s for the TAS agrees with previous calculations under the given conditions.
However, this is TAS in ft/s. Displaying TAS in terms of knots is much more relevant. The conversion factor for this purpose is 1.687811. So TAS in terms of knots can be expressed as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i10) TAS(q,P,T) := V( q,P,T)/1.687811;
(%o10) TAS(q,P,T):=V(q,P,T)/1.687811
(%i11) excel_round(float(TAS(29.92,1194.79,465.24)),1);
(%o11) 118.5
</syntaxhighlight>The result is 118.5 knots for TAS which agrees with previous calculated values.
The expression for TAS could have been more general by using an identifier (cf, for example) for the conversion factor as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i12) TAS(q,P,T) := V( q,P,T)/cf;
(%o12) TAS(q,P,T):=V(q,P,T)/cf
(%i13) cf : 1.687811;
(cf) 1.687811
(%i14) excel_round(float(TAS(29.92,1194.79,465.24)),1);
(%o14) 118.5
</syntaxhighlight>The conversion factor for meters per second (m/s) is: 3.28084<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i15) cf:3.28084;
(cf) 3.28084
(%i16) excel_round(float(TAS(29.92,1194.79,465.24)),1);
(%o16) 61.0
</syntaxhighlight>This is TAS in meters per second. Thus, by changing the value of only the conversion factor, TAS could be determined for various units of measure.
== Summary ==
This section provided examples of the use of Maxima expressions in an applied context. It was demonstrated that Maxima can be used effectively for numerical computations. However, unlike typical general purpose programming languages, it was also demonstrated that Maxima is capable of providing much more capability than merely "number crunching" by way of symbolic operations. The symbolic expression capabilities of Maxima extend way beyond what was demonstrated in this section.
The purpose of this section is not to provide a comprehensive survey of the symbolic expression capabilities of Maxima. Rather, it is intended to be an introduction to Maxima for the sake of familiarity with the sort of expressions that are typical for using Maxima in an applied context, with the syntax that is used for Maxima expressions, and generally the important role expressions have in interacting with the Maxima interface.
Three Maxima operators that should be recognized as used frequently as evidenced by the expressions of this section are:
# <code>=</code> the equality operator (equation expressions)
# <code>:=</code> the Maxima function definition operator
# <code>:</code> the assignment operator
No matter the task at hand for which Maxima is being used, these three operators are likely to be essential, so having a clear understanding of the nature of each is important.
Here is what a ''wxMaxima'' "Tip of the Day" remarks about the first two:<blockquote>"Equations have several advantages over functions. For example they can be manipulated with factor(), expand() and similar functions. They can easily be introduced one into another."</blockquote>It is essential to recognize that Maxima function expressions entered using the <code>:=</code> operator are not synonymous with the mathematical concept of a function, and this is also the case with typical general purpose programming languages, and not only Maxima. The Maxima function (in the programming sense) operator can be used to define a function (in the mathematical sense), but this is not generally the case for all Maxima function expressions. Maxima function expressions can be entered that cannot be used to define a mathematical function in the technical sense.
To define a mathematical function using Maxima, to be precise, would require something similar to the following expressions:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i1) y = f(x);
(%o1) y=f(x)
(%i2) f(x) := x^3;
(%o2) f(x):=x^3
</syntaxhighlight>The first of these two expressions, if evaluated, will have a value of <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>, depending on the values of <code>x</code> and <code>y</code>. The second of these two expressions will have a numerical value that depends only on the numerical value of <code>x</code>. This difference is essential to understand.

== Getting Used to Maxima By Way of an Example of Use ==
The examples that follows are presented for the purpose of providing some beginning perspective, and hopefully some motivation to make the effort to get familiar with how Maxima works.
The task at hand is relevant in the context of aerodynamics and aviation. The specific goal is to find the dynamic pressure at a true airspeed (VTAS) of 200 ft/s at sea level.
Dynamic pressure <math display="inline">q</math> is calculated using the expression:<math display="block">q = \rho V^2/2</math>Where:
* <math>q</math> = dynamic pressure lbf/ft² (pounds of force per square foot)
* <math display="inline">\rho</math> = air density (at sea level is 0.0023769) slugs/ft³
* <math>V</math> = true airspeed in feet per second (ft/s).
British Engineering units are used in this context to avoid multiple conversions due to the units used. It is better to convert in the end if necessary in this case.
'''Note:''' The appearance of the following Maxima examples may vary depending on Unicode support in the version of Maxima being used and the Maxima user interface -- UI. The Maxima examples used in this book are from the ''wxMaxima'' GUI unless noted otherwise, and a version of Maxima with Unicode support.
First, enter the Maxima expression for dynamic pressure q:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i1) q : 1/2*\ρ*V^2;
(q) (V^2*ρ)/2
</syntaxhighlight>This Maxima expression uses the colon character to assign the expression for dynamic pressure to the identifier q. The identifier q is now simply a name for an expression. The equal sign ( = ) is not used for this operation in Maxima as is the case with some programming languages. This Maxima line of a input expression ends with a semicolon ( ; ) character. Each line of input must end with a semicolon or the dollar sign character ( $ ), the use of which will be described later.
Next, enter an assignment expression for the numerical value of the air density at sea level:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i2) \ρ : 0.0023769;
(ρ) 0.0023769</syntaxhighlight>Density ρ is in the units of slugs per cubic foot - slugs/ft³. With this next input expression, Maxima is asked to evaluate q. This is accomplished by two single quotation marks placed before q as shown next:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i3) ''q;
(%o3) 0.0033855446120918224*VTAS^2
</syntaxhighlight>
The output indicates that q depends on VTAS -- true airspeed. The goal is to evaluate q, if VTAS = 200 ft/s is true. One way to do that is with the following Maxima expression:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i4) ''q, VTAS = 200;
(%o4) 135.42178448367287
</syntaxhighlight>The result is about 135 pounds of force per square foot.
There is another way to accomplish this that may be somewhat more convenient for determining sea level dynamic pressure given true airspeed. First, assign the Maxima floating point literal value of 0.0033855446120918224 to an identifier named <code>c</code> as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i5) c : 0.0033855446120918224;
(c) 0.0033855446120918224</syntaxhighlight>Next, enter<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i6) q(VTAS) := c*VTAS^2;
(%o6) q(VTAS):=c*VTAS^2
</syntaxhighlight><syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i7) q(200);
(%o7) 135.4217844836729
</syntaxhighlight>This result is limited to sea level density. That does not make the result of no practical use. This relationship, or something similar is, used to calibrate aircraft airspeed indicators to display indicated airspeed (IAS) in the cockpit. However, it might be the case that it is necessary to determine the dynamic pressure at other altitudes besides sea level.
In the standard atmosphere model, air density is a function of altitude (h), and is defined piece-wise based on the atmospheric layer.
The density is derived from the Ideal Gas Law: <math>P = \rho R T</math> where in British Engineering units:
* <math>\rho</math> ‒ is density in slugs/ft³
* <math>P</math> ‒ is pressure in lbf/ft²
* <math>T</math>‒ is temperature in °R (Rankine)
* <math>R</math> ‒ is the specific gas constant (for dry air) approximately 1716.56 (ft·lbf)/(slug·°R)
<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i8) P = \ρ*R*T;
(%o8) P=RTρ
</syntaxhighlight>The backslash character ( <code>\</code> ) in front of the character for <math>\rho</math> in the input expression allows an identifier to use Unicode. This makes for some nicer looking output. This is a Maxima mathematical equation expression. This equation can be solved for <math>\rho</math> as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i9) solve(%,\ρ);
(%o58) [ρ=P/(R*T)]</syntaxhighlight>The Maxima built-in identifier <code>%</code> names the last output expression.The output of this expression is a Maxima list object with the only instance being the equation expression solved for <math>\rho</math>. Depending on the expression, the <code>solve()</code> operation may result in more than one solution expression. Maxima creates a list object for one or more solution expressions. This solution equation expression can be accessed as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i10) %[1];
(%o10) ρ=P/(R*T)
</syntaxhighlight>The value of this expression is obtained by referencing the first (and only) solution of the Maxima list object of solutions ‒ <code>[ρ=P*R*T]</code>. The reference is obtained by use of the <code>[1]</code> index syntax as shown. There are other ways Maxima can be used to accomplish the same result: <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i11) igl : P = \ρ*R*T;
(igl) P=R*T*ρ</syntaxhighlight>In this case the expression for the ideal gas law was assigned an identifier <code>igl</code>. The advantage to this sort of assignment is that the equation can be referred to using the identifier as follows for example:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i12) solve(igl,\ρ);
(%o12) [ρ=P/(R*T)]
</syntaxhighlight>The identifier <code>igl</code> can be used at any point to refer to the equation expression: <code>P = \ρ*R*T)</code>. An assignment operator can also be used to assign the identifier <code>solution</code> to an expression. For example:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i13) solve(igl,\ρ);
(%o13) [ρ=P/(R*T)]
(%i14) solution : solve(igl,\ρ);
(solution) [ρ=P/(R*T)]
(%i15) solve(solution,P)[1];
(%o15) P=R*T*ρ</syntaxhighlight>The last input and output expression might be somewhat of a "head-scratcher" at first glance, but it is worthwhile to understand how Maxima works in this case. The identifier solution names an expression that uses the <code>solve()</code> operator on the identifier <code>igl</code> as an argument. This expression is evaluated first by Maxima. Then the <code>solve()</code> operator is applied to the result solving for <code>P</code>. The result is a list object with one solution expression. This expression is then referred to using the <code>[1]</code> index, and the output is the equation expression <code>P=R*T*ρ</code> .
The expression for ρ (density) as a function of pressure (p) and temperature (°F) can be checked against known values using the following expressions: <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i16) \°R(\°F) := \°F + 459.67;
(%o16) °R(°F):=°F+459.67
(%i17) P(p) := p*144.0;
(%o17) P(p):=p*144.0
(%i18) R:1716.56;
(R) 1716.56
(%i19) \ρ(p,\°F) := P(p)/(''R*\°R(\°F));
(%o19) ρ(p,°F):=P(p)/(1716.56*°R(°F))</syntaxhighlight>The above Maxima expressions are examples of Maxima function expressions.
For standard sea level conditions of pressure and temperature as follows,
* p is 14.696 lbf/ft²
* °F is 59.0°
the calculated value for density is:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i20) \ρ(14.696,59.0);
(%20) 0.0023769033250291326</syntaxhighlight>Compare this resulting value of density with the the value of the table below for 0 altitude and temperature of 59.0 °F:

It would be useful to have the means to round result values to a desired number of decimal places. Maxima does not have a built-in operator for rounding decimal fraction values. Also, there is no package that is included as part of the Maxima distribution that provides for this capability. However, Robert Dodier has created a Maxima package that includes a function for this purpose ‒ named <code>excel_round.mac</code><code><ref>{{Cite web |last=Dodier |first=Robert |title=maxima-packages/robert-dodier/excel_round/ |url=https://github.com/maxima-project-on-github/maxima-packages/tree/master/robert-dodier/excel_round|website=GitHub}}</ref></code>.
However, to be able access the <code>excel_round()</code> function of this package, it must first be downloaded or copied into a location accessible to Maxima using the <code>load()</code> operator. The built-in Maxima <code>load()</code> operator is used to access specialized functions that are not built-in to Maxima. In order to use the <code>load()</code> operator, the location of the downloaded <code>excel_round.mac</code> file has to be part of the argument to the <code>load()</code> operator unless the file happens to be in the Maxima current working directory. The built-in <code>operatingsystem</code> package can provide some functions to help with determining the current working directory. This package is loaded as follows: <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i21) load(operatingsystem);
(%o21) "/usr/local/share/maxima/5.49.0/share/contrib/operatingsystem/operatingsystem.mac"
(%i22) getcurrentdirectory();
(%o22) "/home/username/"
</syntaxhighlight>In this example <code>username</code> is the name of the home directory of the user. so if the downloaded <code>excel_round.mac</code> file is not located in the current working directory, then the directory can be changed to the location where the file is located: <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i22) chdir("/home/username/local/maxima/packages");
(%o22) "#P"/home/username/local/maxima/packages""</syntaxhighlight>Now the <code>excel_round.mac</code> file can be loaded assuming it is within the directory
<code>/home/username/local/maxima/packages</code>
as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i23) load("excel_round.mac");
(%o23) "excel_round.mac"
</syntaxhighlight>Alternatively, if the location of the file is known it can be loaded using the full path name as follows for example:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i24) load("/home/username/local/maxima/packages/excel_round.mac");
(%o24) "/home/username/local/maxima/packages/excel_round.mac"
</syntaxhighlight>This method obviates the need for loading the <code>operatingsystem</code> package.
'''Note:''' The ''wxMaxima'' GUI makes loading packages simply a matter of a menu selection.
The density value above can be rounded to six decimal places as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i25) excel_round(ρ(14.696,59.0),6);
(%o25) 0.002377
</syntaxhighlight>This rounded value agrees with the sea level value of <math display="inline">23.77 \cdot 10^{-4}</math> slugs/ft³ taken from the table of Standard Atmosphere values. For Standard Atmosphere values of pressure ( 6.758 lbf/in² ) and temperature ( -12.26 °F ) at 20,000 ft the density value is:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i26) excel_round(ρ(6.759,-12.26),6);
(%o26) 0.001267
</syntaxhighlight>This rounded value agrees with the sea level value of <math display="inline">12.67 \cdot 10^{-4}</math> slugs/ft³ taken from the table of Standard Atmosphere values.
===== Pressure =====
However, what is needed for the task at hand is density as a function of altitude. Both the pressure P and the temperature T can be expressed as a function of altitude h:
<math display="block">P = P_0(1 - L\cdot h/T_0)^{g/(R \cdot L)}
</math>
Where in British Engineering units, the constants are:
* <math display="inline">P</math> is Pressure in pounds per square foot lbf/ft²
* <math display="inline">P_0</math> is (Sea Level Pressure): 2116.224 lbf/ft² or 14.696 lbf/in²
* <math display="inline">R</math> is the specific gas constant (for dry air) approximately 1716.56 (ft·lbf)/(slug·°R)
* <math display="inline">T_0 </math> is (Sea Level Temperature): 518.67 °R (15 °C or 59 °F)
* <math display="inline">L</math> is (Lapse Rate): 0.003563 °R/ft
* <math>g</math> is 32.174 ft/s²
* <math display="inline">h</math> is altitude in feet above sea level
The exponent <math display="inline">\frac{g}{R \cdot L}</math> evaluates to approximately 5.26054:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i27) 32.174/(0.003563*1716.56);
(%o27) 5.260539027391964
(%i28) excel_round(%,5);
(%o28) 5.26054
</syntaxhighlight><math display="inline">L/T_0</math> evaluates to approximately <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i29) 0.003563/518.67;
(%o29) 6.869493126650858*10^-6
(%i30) excel_round(6.869493126650858*10^-6,11);
(%o30) 6.86949*10^-6
</syntaxhighlight>
===== Temperature =====
<math display="inline">T = 518.67 - 0.003563 \cdot h</math>
* <math display="inline">T</math> is Temperature in °R
* <math display="inline">h</math> is altitude in feet.
===== Practical Formulas for Pressure and Temperature =====
Thus, the practical formula for pressure and temperatures in terms of British Engineering units are:
<math>P = 2116.224\cdot(1-(6.86949 \cdot 10^{-6}) \cdot h)^{5.26054}</math> lbf/ft²
<math display="inline">T = 518.67 - 0.003563 \cdot h</math> °R
====== Pressure ======
<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i31) P(h) := 2116.224*(1-6.8649*10^-6*h)^5.26054;
(%o31) P(h):=2116.224*(1-6.8649*10^(-6)*h)^5.26054
(%i32) p(P) := P/144.0;
(%o32) p(P):=P/144.0
(%i33) P(20000);
(%o33) 973.0940875140712

(%o36) T(h):=518.67-0.003563*h

(%o40) -12.259999999999991
(%i41) excel_round(%,2);
(%o41) -12.26
</syntaxhighlight>
===== Density =====
The expressions for pressure and temperature as functions of altitude can be used with the expression for the ideal gas law for an expression of density as a function of altitude as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i42) ρ(h) := P(h)/(R*T(h));
(%o42) ρ(h):=P(h)/(R*T(h))
(%i42) excel_round(ρ(20000)*10^4,2);
(%o42) 12.67
</syntaxhighlight>This result agrees with the density value of the standard atmosphere at 20,000 ft. Using the expression for the air density as a function of altitude, an expression for dynamic pressure is as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i43) q(h,VTAS) := ((\ρ(h)*VTAS^2))/2;
(%o43) q(h,VTAS):=(ρ(h)*VTAS^2)/2
</syntaxhighlight>Using the expression above, values of dynamic pressure can be calculated as a function of altitude and true airspeed as follows for 20,000 feet and 15,000 feet at 200 ft/s:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i44) q(20000,200);
(%o44) 25.34079027107967
(%i45) q(15000,200);
(%o45) 29.922636037412556
</syntaxhighlight>This value can be checked using the value for density from the Standard Atmosphere table at 15,000 ft and the expression for dynamic pressure as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i46) excel_round(%,2);
(%o46) 29.92
(%i47) (200.0^2)*0.001496/2.0;
(%o47) 29.919999999999998
(%i48) excel_round(%,2);
(%o48) 29.92
</syntaxhighlight>In the context of aviation and aircraft performance, airspeeds are commonly referenced to knots (nautical miles per hour) instead of ft/s. To determine dynamic pressure as a function of altitude and true airspeed in knots, the following expressions are used:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i49) VTAS(knots) := 1.687811*knots;
(%o49) VTAS(knots):=1.687811*knots
(%i50) excel_round(VTAS(118.49676),2);
(%o50) 200.0
(%i51) q(h,knots)
(%o51) q(h,knots):=(ρ(h)*VTAS(knots)^2)/2
(%i52) excel_round(q(15000,118.49676),2);
(%o52) 29.92
</syntaxhighlight>So approximately 118 knots true airspeed is equivalent to 200 ft/s, and the above expression for dynamic pressure is in terms of a function of altitude in feet and true airspeed in knots.
==== Plotting ====
Maxima has several ways to do plotting. The image that follows is a simple plot of density as a function of altitude produced using the plotting operator <code>wxplot2d()</code>:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i53) T(h) := 518.688 - 0.0035616*h;
(%o53) T(h):=518.688-0.0035616*h
(%i54) P(h) := 2116.224*(1-6.8649*10^-6*h)^5.26054;
(%o54) P(h):=2116.224*(1-6.8649*10^(-6)*h)^5.26054
(%i55) R : 1716.56;
(R) 1716.56
(%i56) ρ(h) := P(h)/(R*T(h));
(%o56) ρ(h):=P(h)/(R*T(h))
(%i57) wxplot2d([ρ(h)], [h,-100,35000])$

==== A Practical Application - True Airspeed (TAS) ====
Having the display of TAS during actual flight conditions is very useful information. With the necessary sensors and electronics, TAS can be displayed continuously to pilots during changing flight conditions. One way to accomplish this is to have aircraft sensors that measure values of dynamic pressure, air pressure, and air temperature. These measured values can be used by electronic devices designed to calculate TAS for display and use by other equipment. The essentials of how this could be implemented can be demonstrated using Maxima by way of the expressions that follow:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i1) dpe : q = 1/2*ρ*V^2;
(dpe) q=(V^2*ρ)/2
(%i2) solutions:solve(dpe,V);
(solutions) [V=-(sqrt(2)*sqrt(q/ρ)),V=sqrt(2)*sqrt(q/ρ)]
</syntaxhighlight>The above expressions result in a list of two solution expressions. The second of these two is the one that is useful in this context.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i3) solutions[2];
(%o3) V=sqrt(2)*sqrt(q/ρ)
(%i4) igl : \ρ = P/(R*T);
(igl) ρ=P/(R*T)
(%i5) eq : subst(rhs(igl),\ρ,solutions[2]);
(%o5) V=sqrt(2)*sqrt((R*T*q)/P)
</syntaxhighlight>In the last of the above expressions the <code>subst()</code> operator is used to substitute an expression for density ρ in the expression for speed V.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i6) R :1716.56;
(R) 1716.56
(%i7) V(q,P,T) := ''(rhs(eq));
(%o7) V(q,P,T):=sqrt(2)*sqrt((R*T*q)/P)
</syntaxhighlight>The value for R determines the units:
* dynamic pressure q is in lbf/ft²
* pressure P is in lbf/ft²
* T is in °R
* V is in ft/s
The second of the two expressions above define a Maxima function for V in terms of values of dynamic pressure q, air pressure P, and temperature T.
This expression for speed can be checked using known values. At 15,000 ft if:
q is 29.92 lbf/ft²
P is 1194.79 lbf/ft²
T is 465.24 °R
then:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">

</syntaxhighlight>This resulting value of 200 ft/s for the TAS agrees with previous calculations under the given conditions.
However, this is TAS in ft/s. Displaying TAS in terms of knots is much more relevant. The conversion factor for this purpose is 1.687811. So TAS in terms of knots can be expressed as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i10) TAS(q,P,T) := V( q,P,T)/1.687811;
(%o10) TAS(q,P,T):=V(q,P,T)/1.687811
(%i11) excel_round(float(TAS(29.92,1194.79,465.24)),1);
(%o11) 118.5
</syntaxhighlight>The result is 118.5 knots for TAS which agrees with previous calculated values.
The expression for TAS could have been more general by using an identifier (cf, for example) for the conversion factor as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i12) TAS(q,P,T) := V( q,P,T)/cf;
(%o12) TAS(q,P,T):=V(q,P,T)/cf
(%i13) cf : 1.687811;
(cf) 1.687811
(%i14) excel_round(float(TAS(29.92,1194.79,465.24)),1);
(%o14) 118.5
</syntaxhighlight>The conversion factor for meters per second (m/s) is: 3.28084<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i15) cf:3.28084;
(cf) 3.28084
(%i16) excel_round(float(TAS(29.92,1194.79,465.24)),1);
(%o16) 61.0
</syntaxhighlight>This is TAS in meters per second. Thus, by changing the value of only the conversion factor, TAS could be determined for various units of measure.
== Summary ==
This section provided examples of the use of Maxima expressions in an applied context. It was demonstrated that Maxima can be used effectively for numerical computations. However, unlike typical general purpose programming languages, it was also demonstrated that Maxima is capable of providing much more capability than merely "number crunching" by way of symbolic operations. The symbolic expression capabilities of Maxima extend way beyond what was demonstrated in this section.
The purpose of this section is not to provide a comprehensive survey of the symbolic expression capabilities of Maxima. Rather, it is intended to be an introduction to Maxima for the sake of familiarity with the sort of expressions that are typical for using Maxima in an applied context, with the syntax that is used for Maxima expressions, and generally the important role expressions have in interacting with the Maxima interface.
Three Maxima operators that should be recognized as used frequently as evidenced by the expressions of this section are:
# <code>=</code> the equality operator (equation expressions)
# <code>:=</code> the Maxima function definition operator
# <code>:</code> the assignment operator
No matter the task at hand for which Maxima is being used, these three operators are likely to be essential, so having a clear understanding of the nature of each is important.
Here is what a ''wxMaxima'' "Tip of the Day" remarks about the first two:<blockquote>"Equations have several advantages over functions. For example they can be manipulated with factor(), expand() and similar functions. They can easily be introduced one into another."</blockquote>It is essential to recognize that Maxima function expressions entered using the <code>:=</code> operator are not synonymous with the mathematical concept of a function, and this is also the case with typical general purpose programming languages, and not only Maxima. The Maxima function (in the programming sense) operator can be used to define a function (in the mathematical sense), but this is not generally the case for all Maxima function expressions. Maxima function expressions can be entered that cannot be used to define a mathematical function in the technical sense.
To define a mathematical function using Maxima, to be precise, would require something similar to the following expressions:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i1) y = f(x);
(%o1) y=f(x)
(%i2) f(x) := x^3;
(%o2) f(x):=x^3
(%i3) y = f(x), x=3;
(%o3) y=27
(%i4) y = f(3);
(%o4) y=27
(%i5) is(y = f(3));
(%o5) false
(%i6) is(y = f(3)), y = 27;
(%o6) true
(%i7) f(3);
(%o7) 27
</syntaxhighlight>The first the above expressions, if evaluated, will have a value of <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>, depending on the values of <code>x</code> and <code>y</code>. The second of these two expressions will have a numerical value that depends only on the numerical value of <code>x</code>. This difference is essential to understand.
For a function, in the mathematical sense, it is necessary for values of ''x'' and ''y'' to evaluate to true as applied to the expression ''y = f(x)'', that is the values of the ordered pairs of numbers ''(x,y)'' evaluate the expression <code>y = f(x)</code> to <code>true</code> if they are instances of the function, and <code>false</code> otherwise.
The function <code>f(x)</code>, in the programming sense, can be defined in all sorts of ways as a Maxima expressions, including for the purpose of the definition of a mathematical function, but not necessarily so.
The <code>:</code> assignment operator is most typical used to name another value or expression. The word "identifier" in this case is understood to be a name that is in a sense identical to a value or expression. some examples follow:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i08) x : 2;
(x) 2
(%i09) x;
(%o09) 2
(%i10) y : 3.14159;
(y) 3.14159
(%i11) y;
(%o11) 3.14159
(%i12) r : rationalize(0.1);
(r) 3602879701896397/36028797018963968
(%i13) r;
(%o13) 3602879701896397/36028797018963968
(%i14) s : "a string";
(s) "a string"
(%i15) s;
(%o15) "a string"
(%i16) \9ofHearts : true;
(\9ofHearts) true
(%i17) \9ofHearts;
(%o17) true
</syntaxhighlight>Assignment is not limited however to simple expressions such as these. Entire expressions from simple to more complex can be assigned to identifiers. For example:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i18) z : m + n +3;
(z) n+m+3
(%i19) z;
(%o19) n+m+3
(%i20) ex1 : a*x^2 +b*x + c;
(ex1) c+2*b+4*a
(%i21) ex1;
(%o21) c+2*b+4*a
(%i22) ex2 : 'integrate( %e^(2*t+a)*sin(t)*t,t);
(ex2) integrate(%e^(2*t+a)*t*sin(t),t)
(%i23) ex2;
(%o23) integrate(%e^(2*t+a)*t*sin(t),t)
(%i24) solution : ex2, integrate;
(solution) ((10*%e^(2*t+a)*t-3*%e^(2*t+a))*sin(t)+(4*%e^(2*t+a)-5*%e^(2*t+a)*t)*cos(t))/25
(%i25) solution;
(%o25) ((10*%e^(2*t+a)*t-3*%e^(2*t+a))*sin(t)+(4*%e^(2*t+a)-5*%e^(2*t+a)*t)*cos(t))/25
</syntaxhighlight>This sort of assignment is not possible using typical general purpose programming languages, and will result in undefined variable error messages. For example in the case of Julia:<syntaxhighlight lang="julia-repl">
julia> z = m + n + 3
ERROR: UndefVarError: `m` not defined in `Main`
Suggestion: check for spelling errors or missing imports.
Stacktrace:
[1] top-level scope
@ REPL[1]:1
</syntaxhighlight>Julia is a very capable and useful programming language, especially for numerical computations, but symbolic expressions are not what Julia was intended to be used for. Maxima on the other hand, is quite at home with symbolic expressions.
Some of the output expressions in these examples are rendered in a much more readable and conventional manner by the ''wxMaxima'' GUI using typical mathematical notation. The output for <code>ex2</code> for example is rendered as:
[[File:Image of wxMaxima output.png|border|frameless]]
The output for the <code>solution</code> identifier is rendered as:
[[File:Another image of wxMaxima expression.png|frameless|500x500px]]
The reader is referred to Sections 9.6 (Assignment operators) and 22 (Equations) of the Maxima Help document for more information related to these three operators and more.

== Getting Used to Maxima By Way of an Example of Use ==
The examples that follows are presented for the purpose of providing some beginning perspective, and hopefully some motivation to make the effort to get familiar with how Maxima works.
The task at hand is relevant in the context of aerodynamics and aviation. The specific goal is to find the dynamic pressure at a true airspeed (VTAS) of 200 ft/s at sea level.
Dynamic pressure <math display="inline">q</math> is calculated using the expression:<math display="block">q = \rho V^2/2</math>Where:
* <math>q</math> = dynamic pressure lbf/ft² (pounds of force per square foot)
* <math display="inline">\rho</math> = air density (at sea level is 0.0023769) slugs/ft³
* <math>V</math> = true airspeed in feet per second (ft/s).
British Engineering units are used in this context to avoid multiple conversions due to the units used. It is better to convert in the end if necessary in this case.
'''Note:''' The appearance of the following Maxima examples may vary depending on Unicode support in the version of Maxima being used and the Maxima user interface -- UI. The Maxima examples used in this book are from the ''wxMaxima'' GUI unless noted otherwise, and a version of Maxima with Unicode support.
First, enter the Maxima expression for dynamic pressure q:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i1) q : 1/2*\ρ*V^2;
(q) (V^2*ρ)/2
</syntaxhighlight>This Maxima expression uses the colon character to assign the expression for dynamic pressure to the identifier q. The identifier q is now simply a name for an expression. The equal sign ( = ) is not used for this operation in Maxima as is the case with some programming languages. This Maxima line of a input expression ends with a semicolon ( ; ) character. Each line of input must end with a semicolon or the dollar sign character ( $ ), the use of which will be described later.
Next, enter an assignment expression for the numerical value of the air density at sea level:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i2) \ρ : 0.0023769;
(ρ) 0.0023769</syntaxhighlight>Density ρ is in the units of slugs per cubic foot - slugs/ft³. With this next input expression, Maxima is asked to evaluate q. This is accomplished by two single quotation marks placed before q as shown next:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i3) ''q;
(%o3) 0.0033855446120918224*VTAS^2
</syntaxhighlight>
The output indicates that q depends on VTAS -- true airspeed. The goal is to evaluate q, if VTAS = 200 ft/s is true. One way to do that is with the following Maxima expression:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i4) ''q, VTAS = 200;
(%o4) 135.42178448367287
</syntaxhighlight>The result is about 135 pounds of force per square foot.
There is another way to accomplish this that may be somewhat more convenient for determining sea level dynamic pressure given true airspeed. First, assign the Maxima floating point literal value of 0.0033855446120918224 to an identifier named <code>c</code> as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i5) c : 0.0033855446120918224;
(c) 0.0033855446120918224</syntaxhighlight>Next, enter<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i6) q(VTAS) := c*VTAS^2;
(%o6) q(VTAS):=c*VTAS^2
</syntaxhighlight><syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i7) q(200);
(%o7) 135.4217844836729
</syntaxhighlight>This result is limited to sea level density. That does not make the result of no practical use. This relationship, or something similar is, used to calibrate aircraft airspeed indicators to display indicated airspeed (IAS) in the cockpit. However, it might be the case that it is necessary to determine the dynamic pressure at other altitudes besides sea level.
In the standard atmosphere model, air density is a function of altitude (h), and is defined piece-wise based on the atmospheric layer.
The density is derived from the Ideal Gas Law: <math>P = \rho R T</math> where in British Engineering units:
* <math>\rho</math> ‒ is density in slugs/ft³
* <math>P</math> ‒ is pressure in lbf/ft²
* <math>T</math>‒ is temperature in °R (Rankine)
* <math>R</math> ‒ is the specific gas constant (for dry air) approximately 1716.56 (ft·lbf)/(slug·°R)
<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i8) P = \ρ*R*T;
(%o8) P=RTρ
</syntaxhighlight>The backslash character ( <code>\</code> ) in front of the character for <math>\rho</math> in the input expression allows an identifier to use Unicode. This makes for some nicer looking output. This is a Maxima mathematical equation expression. This equation can be solved for <math>\rho</math> as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i9) solve(%,\ρ);
(%o58) [ρ=P/(R*T)]</syntaxhighlight>The Maxima built-in identifier <code>%</code> names the last output expression.The output of this expression is a Maxima list object with the only instance being the equation expression solved for <math>\rho</math>. Depending on the expression, the <code>solve()</code> operation may result in more than one solution expression. Maxima creates a list object for one or more solution expressions. This solution equation expression can be accessed as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i10) %[1];
(%o10) ρ=P/(R*T)
</syntaxhighlight>The value of this expression is obtained by referencing the first (and only) solution of the Maxima list object of solutions ‒ <code>[ρ=P*R*T]</code>. The reference is obtained by use of the <code>[1]</code> index syntax as shown. There are other ways Maxima can be used to accomplish the same result: <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i11) igl : P = \ρ*R*T;
(igl) P=R*T*ρ</syntaxhighlight>In this case the expression for the ideal gas law was assigned an identifier <code>igl</code>. The advantage to this sort of assignment is that the equation can be referred to using the identifier as follows for example:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i12) solve(igl,\ρ);
(%o12) [ρ=P/(R*T)]
</syntaxhighlight>The identifier <code>igl</code> can be used at any point to refer to the equation expression: <code>P = \ρ*R*T)</code>. An assignment operator can also be used to assign the identifier <code>solution</code> to an expression. For example:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i13) solve(igl,\ρ);
(%o13) [ρ=P/(R*T)]
(%i14) solution : solve(igl,\ρ);
(solution) [ρ=P/(R*T)]
(%i15) solve(solution,P)[1];
(%o15) P=R*T*ρ</syntaxhighlight>The last input and output expression might be somewhat of a "head-scratcher" at first glance, but it is worthwhile to understand how Maxima works in this case. The identifier solution names an expression that uses the <code>solve()</code> operator on the identifier <code>igl</code> as an argument. This expression is evaluated first by Maxima. Then the <code>solve()</code> operator is applied to the result solving for <code>P</code>. The result is a list object with one solution expression. This expression is then referred to using the <code>[1]</code> index, and the output is the equation expression <code>P=R*T*ρ</code> .
The expression for ρ (density) as a function of pressure (p) and temperature (°F) can be checked against known values using the following expressions: <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i16) \°R(\°F) := \°F + 459.67;
(%o16) °R(°F):=°F+459.67
(%i17) P(p) := p*144.0;
(%o17) P(p):=p*144.0
(%i18) R:1716.56;
(R) 1716.56
(%i19) \ρ(p,\°F) := P(p)/(''R*\°R(\°F));
(%o19) ρ(p,°F):=P(p)/(1716.56*°R(°F))</syntaxhighlight>The above Maxima expressions are examples of Maxima function expressions.
For standard sea level conditions of pressure and temperature as follows,
* p is 14.696 lbf/ft²
* °F is 59.0°
the calculated value for density is:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i20) \ρ(14.696,59.0);
(%20) 0.0023769033250291326</syntaxhighlight>Compare this resulting value of density with the the value of the table below for 0 altitude and temperature of 59.0 °F:

It would be useful to have the means to round result values to a desired number of decimal places. Maxima does not have a built-in operator for rounding decimal fraction values. Also, there is no package that is included as part of the Maxima distribution that provides for this capability. However, Robert Dodier has created a Maxima package that includes a function for this purpose ‒ named <code>excel_round.mac</code><code><ref>{{Cite web |last=Dodier |first=Robert |title=maxima-packages/robert-dodier/excel_round/ |url=https://github.com/maxima-project-on-github/maxima-packages/tree/master/robert-dodier/excel_round|website=GitHub}}</ref></code>.
However, to be able access the <code>excel_round()</code> function of this package, it must first be downloaded or copied into a location accessible to Maxima using the <code>load()</code> operator. The built-in Maxima <code>load()</code> operator is used to access specialized functions that are not built-in to Maxima. In order to use the <code>load()</code> operator, the location of the downloaded <code>excel_round.mac</code> file has to be part of the argument to the <code>load()</code> operator unless the file happens to be in the Maxima current working directory. The built-in <code>operatingsystem</code> package can provide some functions to help with determining the current working directory. This package is loaded as follows: <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i21) load(operatingsystem);
(%o21) "/usr/local/share/maxima/5.49.0/share/contrib/operatingsystem/operatingsystem.mac"
(%i22) getcurrentdirectory();
(%o22) "/home/username/"
</syntaxhighlight>In this example <code>username</code> is the name of the home directory of the user. so if the downloaded <code>excel_round.mac</code> file is not located in the current working directory, then the directory can be changed to the location where the file is located: <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i22) chdir("/home/username/local/maxima/packages");
(%o22) "#P"/home/username/local/maxima/packages""</syntaxhighlight>Now the <code>excel_round.mac</code> file can be loaded assuming it is within the directory
<code>/home/username/local/maxima/packages</code>
as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i23) load("excel_round.mac");
(%o23) "excel_round.mac"
</syntaxhighlight>Alternatively, if the location of the file is known it can be loaded using the full path name as follows for example:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i24) load("/home/username/local/maxima/packages/excel_round.mac");
(%o24) "/home/username/local/maxima/packages/excel_round.mac"
</syntaxhighlight>This method obviates the need for loading the <code>operatingsystem</code> package.
'''Note:''' The ''wxMaxima'' GUI makes loading packages simply a matter of a menu selection.
The density value above can be rounded to six decimal places as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i25) excel_round(ρ(14.696,59.0),6);
(%o25) 0.002377
</syntaxhighlight>This rounded value agrees with the sea level value of <math display="inline">23.77 \cdot 10^{-4}</math> slugs/ft³ taken from the table of Standard Atmosphere values. For Standard Atmosphere values of pressure ( 6.758 lbf/in² ) and temperature ( -12.26 °F ) at 20,000 ft the density value is:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i26) excel_round(ρ(6.759,-12.26),6);
(%o26) 0.001267
</syntaxhighlight>This rounded value agrees with the sea level value of <math display="inline">12.67 \cdot 10^{-4}</math> slugs/ft³ taken from the table of Standard Atmosphere values.
===== Pressure =====
However, what is needed for the task at hand is density as a function of altitude. Both the pressure P and the temperature T can be expressed as a function of altitude h:
<math display="block">P = P_0(1 - L\cdot h/T_0)^{g/(R \cdot L)}
</math>
Where in British Engineering units, the constants are:
* <math display="inline">P</math> is Pressure in pounds per square foot lbf/ft²
* <math display="inline">P_0</math> is (Sea Level Pressure): 2116.224 lbf/ft² or 14.696 lbf/in²
* <math display="inline">R</math> is the specific gas constant (for dry air) approximately 1716.56 (ft·lbf)/(slug·°R)
* <math display="inline">T_0 </math> is (Sea Level Temperature): 518.67 °R (15 °C or 59 °F)
* <math display="inline">L</math> is (Lapse Rate): 0.003563 °R/ft
* <math>g</math> is 32.174 ft/s²
* <math display="inline">h</math> is altitude in feet above sea level
The exponent <math display="inline">\frac{g}{R \cdot L}</math> evaluates to approximately 5.26054:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i27) 32.174/(0.003563*1716.56);
(%o27) 5.260539027391964
(%i28) excel_round(%,5);
(%o28) 5.26054
</syntaxhighlight><math display="inline">L/T_0</math> evaluates to approximately <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i29) 0.003563/518.67;
(%o29) 6.869493126650858*10^-6
(%i30) excel_round(6.869493126650858*10^-6,11);
(%o30) 6.86949*10^-6
</syntaxhighlight>
===== Temperature =====
<math display="inline">T = 518.67 - 0.003563 \cdot h</math>
* <math display="inline">T</math> is Temperature in °R
* <math display="inline">h</math> is altitude in feet.
===== Practical Formulas for Pressure and Temperature =====
Thus, the practical formula for pressure and temperatures in terms of British Engineering units are:
<math>P = 2116.224\cdot(1-(6.86949 \cdot 10^{-6}) \cdot h)^{5.26054}</math> lbf/ft²
<math display="inline">T = 518.67 - 0.003563 \cdot h</math> °R
====== Pressure ======
<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i31) P(h) := 2116.224*(1-6.8649*10^-6*h)^5.26054;

(%i41) excel_round(%,2);
(%o41) -12.26
</syntaxhighlight>
===== Density =====
The expressions for pressure and temperature as functions of altitude can be used with the expression for the ideal gas law for an expression of density as a function of altitude as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i42) ρ(h) := P(h)/(R*T(h));
(%o42) ρ(h):=P(h)/(R*T(h))
(%i42) excel_round(ρ(20000)*10^4,2);
(%o42) 12.67
</syntaxhighlight>This result agrees with the density value of the standard atmosphere at 20,000 ft. Using the expression for the air density as a function of altitude, an expression for dynamic pressure is as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i43) q(h,VTAS) := ((\ρ(h)*VTAS^2))/2;
(%o43) q(h,VTAS):=(ρ(h)*VTAS^2)/2
</syntaxhighlight>Using the expression above, values of dynamic pressure can be calculated as a function of altitude and true airspeed as follows for 20,000 feet and 15,000 feet at 200 ft/s:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i44) q(20000,200);
(%o44) 25.34079027107967
(%i45) q(15000,200);

</syntaxhighlight>This value can be checked using the value for density from the Standard Atmosphere table at 15,000 ft and the expression for dynamic pressure as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i46) excel_round(%,2);
(%o46) 29.92
(%i47) (200.0^2)*0.001496/2.0;
(%o47) 29.919999999999998
(%i48) excel_round(%,2);
(%o48) 29.92
</syntaxhighlight>In the context of aviation and aircraft performance, airspeeds are commonly referenced to knots (nautical miles per hour) instead of ft/s. To determine dynamic pressure as a function of altitude and true airspeed in knots, the following expressions are used:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i49) VTAS(knots) := 1.687811*knots;
(%o49) VTAS(knots):=1.687811*knots
(%i50) excel_round(VTAS(118.49676),2);
(%o50) 200.0
(%i51) q(h,knots)
(%o51) q(h,knots):=(ρ(h)*VTAS(knots)^2)/2
(%i52) excel_round(q(15000,118.49676),2);
(%o52) 29.92
</syntaxhighlight>So approximately 118 knots true airspeed is equivalent to 200 ft/s, and the above expression for dynamic pressure is in terms of a function of altitude in feet and true airspeed in knots.
==== Plotting ====
Maxima has several ways to do plotting. The image that follows is a simple plot of density as a function of altitude produced using the plotting operator <code>wxplot2d()</code>:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i53) T(h) := 518.688 - 0.0035616*h;
(%o53) T(h):=518.688-0.0035616*h
(%i54) P(h) := 2116.224*(1-6.8649*10^-6*h)^5.26054;
(%o54) P(h):=2116.224*(1-6.8649*10^(-6)*h)^5.26054
(%i55) R : 1716.56;
(R) 1716.56
(%i56) ρ(h) := P(h)/(R*T(h));
(%o56) ρ(h):=P(h)/(R*T(h))
(%i57) wxplot2d([ρ(h)], [h,-100,35000])$

==== A Practical Application - True Airspeed (TAS) ====
Having the display of TAS during actual flight conditions is very useful information. With the necessary sensors and electronics, TAS can be displayed continuously to pilots during changing flight conditions. One way to accomplish this is to have aircraft sensors that measure values of dynamic pressure, air pressure, and air temperature. These measured values can be used by electronic devices designed to calculate TAS for display and use by other equipment. The essentials of how this could be implemented can be demonstrated using Maxima by way of the expressions that follow:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i1) dpe : q = 1/2*ρ*V^2;
(dpe) q=(V^2*ρ)/2
(%i2) solutions:solve(dpe,V);
(solutions) [V=-(sqrt(2)*sqrt(q/ρ)),V=sqrt(2)*sqrt(q/ρ)]
</syntaxhighlight>The above expressions result in a list of two solution expressions. The second of these two is the one that is useful in this context.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i3) solutions[2];
(%o3) V=sqrt(2)*sqrt(q/ρ)
(%i4) igl : \ρ = P/(R*T);
(igl) ρ=P/(R*T)
(%i5) eq : subst(rhs(igl),\ρ,solutions[2]);
(%o5) V=sqrt(2)*sqrt((R*T*q)/P)
</syntaxhighlight>In the last of the above expressions the <code>subst()</code> operator is used to substitute an expression for density ρ in the expression for speed V.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i6) R :1716.56;
(R) 1716.56
(%i7) V(q,P,T) := ''(rhs(eq));
(%o7) V(q,P,T):=sqrt(2)*sqrt((R*T*q)/P)
</syntaxhighlight>The value for R determines the units:
* dynamic pressure q is in lbf/ft²
* pressure P is in lbf/ft²
* T is in °R
* V is in ft/s
The second of the two expressions above define a Maxima function for V in terms of values of dynamic pressure q, air pressure P, and temperature T.
This expression for speed can be checked using known values. At 15,000 ft if:
q is 29.92 lbf/ft²
P is 1194.79 lbf/ft²
T is 465.24 °R
then:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i8) load("excel_round.mac");
(%o8) "/home/davidmiller/Downloads/excel_round.mac"
(%i9) excel_round(float(V(29.92,1194.79,465.24)),1);
(%o9) 200.0
</syntaxhighlight>This resulting value of 200 ft/s for the TAS agrees with previous calculations under the given conditions.
However, this is TAS in ft/s. Displaying TAS in terms of knots is much more relevant. The conversion factor for this purpose is 1.687811. So TAS in terms of knots can be expressed as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i10) TAS(q,P,T) := V( q,P,T)/1.687811;
(%o10) TAS(q,P,T):=V(q,P,T)/1.687811
(%i11) excel_round(float(TAS(29.92,1194.79,465.24)),1);
(%o11) 118.5
</syntaxhighlight>The result is 118.5 knots for TAS which agrees with previous calculated values.
The expression for TAS could have been more general by using an identifier (cf, for example) for the conversion factor as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i12) TAS(q,P,T) := V( q,P,T)/cf;
(%o12) TAS(q,P,T):=V(q,P,T)/cf
(%i13) cf : 1.687811;
(cf) 1.687811
(%i14) excel_round(float(TAS(29.92,1194.79,465.24)),1);
(%o14) 118.5
</syntaxhighlight>The conversion factor for meters per second (m/s) is: 3.28084<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i15) cf:3.28084;
(cf) 3.28084
(%i16) excel_round(float(TAS(29.92,1194.79,465.24)),1);
(%o16) 61.0
</syntaxhighlight>This is TAS in meters per second. Thus, by changing the value of only the conversion factor, TAS could be determined for various units of measure.
== Summary ==
This section provided examples of the use of Maxima expressions in an applied context. It was demonstrated that Maxima can be used effectively for numerical computations. However, unlike typical general purpose programming languages, it was also demonstrated that Maxima is capable of providing much more capability than merely "number crunching" by way of symbolic operations. The symbolic expression capabilities of Maxima extend way beyond what was demonstrated in this section.
The purpose of this section is not to provide a comprehensive survey of the symbolic expression capabilities of Maxima. Rather, it is intended to be an introduction to Maxima for the sake of familiarity with the sort of expressions that are typical for using Maxima in an applied context, with the syntax that is used for Maxima expressions, and generally the important role expressions have in interacting with the Maxima interface.
Three Maxima operators that should be recognized as used frequently as evidenced by the expressions of this section are:
# <code>=</code> the equality operator (equation expressions)
# <code>:=</code> the Maxima function definition operator
# <code>:</code> the assignment operator
No matter the task at hand for which Maxima is being used, these three operators are likely to be essential, so having a clear understanding of the nature of each is important.
Here is what a ''wxMaxima'' "Tip of the Day" remarks about the first two:<blockquote>"Equations have several advantages over functions. For example they can be manipulated with factor(), expand() and similar functions. They can easily be introduced one into another."</blockquote>It is essential to recognize that Maxima function expressions entered using the <code>:=</code> operator are not synonymous with the mathematical concept of a function, and this is also the case with typical general purpose programming languages, and not only Maxima. The Maxima function (in the programming sense) operator can be used to define a function (in the mathematical sense), but this is not generally the case for all Maxima function expressions. Maxima function expressions can be entered that cannot be used to define a mathematical function in the technical sense.
To define a mathematical function using Maxima, to be precise, would require something similar to the following expressions:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i1) y = f(x);
(%o1) y=f(x)
(%i2) f(x) := x^3;
(%o2) f(x):=x^3
(%i3) y = f(x), x=3;
(%o3) y=27
(%i4) y = f(3);
(%o4) y=27
(%i5) is(y = f(3));
(%o5) false
(%i6) is(y = f(3)), y = 27;
(%o6) true
(%i7) f(3);
(%o7) 27
</syntaxhighlight>The first the above expressions, if evaluated, will have a value of <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>, depending on the values of <code>x</code> and <code>y</code>. The second of these two expressions will have a numerical value that depends only on the numerical value of <code>x</code>. This difference is essential to understand.
For a function, in the mathematical sense, it is necessary for values of ''x'' and ''y'' to evaluate to true as applied to the expression ''y = f(x)'', that is the values of the ordered pairs of numbers ''(x,y)'' evaluate the expression <code>y = f(x)</code> to <code>true</code> if they are instances of the function, and <code>false</code> otherwise.
The function <code>f(x)</code>, in the programming sense, can be defined in all sorts of ways as a Maxima expressions, including for the purpose of the definition of a mathematical function, but not necessarily so.
The <code>:</code> assignment operator is most typical used to name another value or expression. The word "identifier" in this case is understood to be a name that is in a sense identical to a value or expression. some examples follow:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i08) x : 2;
(x) 2
(%i09) x;
(%o09) 2
(%i10) y : 3.14159;
(y) 3.14159
(%i11) y;
(%o11) 3.14159
(%i12) r : rationalize(0.1);
(r) 3602879701896397/36028797018963968
(%i13) r;
(%o13) 3602879701896397/36028797018963968
(%i14) s : "a string";
(s) "a string"
(%i15) s;
(%o15) "a string"
(%i16) \9ofHearts : true;
(\9ofHearts) true
(%i17) \9ofHearts;
(%o17) true
</syntaxhighlight>Assignment is not limited however to simple expressions such as these. Entire expressions from simple to more complex can be assigned to identifiers. For example:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i18) z : m + n +3;
(z) n+m+3
(%i19) z;
(%o19) n+m+3
(%i20) ex1 : a*x^2 +b*x + c;
(ex1) c+2*b+4*a
(%i21) ex1;
(%o21) c+2*b+4*a
(%i22) ex2 : 'integrate( %e^(2*t+a)*sin(t)*t,t);
(ex2) integrate(%e^(2*t+a)*t*sin(t),t)
(%i23) ex2;
(%o23) integrate(%e^(2*t+a)*t*sin(t),t)
(%i24) solution : ex2, integrate;
(solution) ((10*%e^(2*t+a)*t-3*%e^(2*t+a))*sin(t)+(4*%e^(2*t+a)-5*%e^(2*t+a)*t)*cos(t))/25
(%i25) solution;
(%o25) ((10*%e^(2*t+a)*t-3*%e^(2*t+a))*sin(t)+(4*%e^(2*t+a)-5*%e^(2*t+a)*t)*cos(t))/25
</syntaxhighlight>This sort of assignment is not possible using typical general purpose programming languages, and will result in undefined variable error messages. For example in the case of Julia:<syntaxhighlight lang="julia-repl">
julia> z = m + n + 3
ERROR: UndefVarError: `m` not defined in `Main`
Suggestion: check for spelling errors or missing imports.
Stacktrace:

</syntaxhighlight>Julia is a very capable and useful programming language, especially for numerical computations, but symbolic expressions are not what Julia was intended to be used for. Maxima on the other hand, is quite at home with symbolic expressions.
Some of the output expressions in these examples are rendered in a much more readable and conventional manner by the ''wxMaxima'' GUI using typical mathematical notation. The output for <code>ex2</code> for example is rendered as:
[[File:Image_of_wxMaxima_output.png]]
The output for the <code>solution</code> identifier is rendered as:
[[File:Another image of wxMaxima expression.png|500x500px]]
The reader is referred to Sections 9.6 (Assignment operators) and 22 (Equations) of the Maxima Help document for more information related to these three operators and more.

== Getting Used to Maxima By Way of an Example of Use ==
The examples that follows are presented for the purpose of providing some beginning perspective, and hopefully some motivation to make the effort to get familiar with how Maxima works.
The task at hand is relevant in the context of aerodynamics and aviation. The specific goal is to find the dynamic pressure at a true airspeed (VTAS) of 200 ft/s at sea level.
Dynamic pressure <math display="inline">q</math> is calculated using the expression:<math display="block">q = \rho V^2/2</math>Where:
* <math>q</math> = dynamic pressure lbf/ft² (pounds of force per square foot)
* <math display="inline">\rho</math> = air density (at sea level is 0.0023769) slugs/ft³
* <math>V</math> = true airspeed in feet per second (ft/s).
British Engineering units are used in this context to avoid multiple conversions due to the units used. It is better to convert in the end if necessary in this case.
'''Note:''' The appearance of the following Maxima examples may vary depending on Unicode support in the version of Maxima being used and the Maxima user interface -- UI. The Maxima examples used in this book are from the ''wxMaxima'' GUI unless noted otherwise, and a version of Maxima with Unicode support.
First, enter the Maxima expression for dynamic pressure q:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i1) q : 1/2*\ρ*V^2;
(q) (V^2*ρ)/2
</syntaxhighlight>This Maxima expression uses the colon character to assign the expression for dynamic pressure to the identifier q. The identifier q is now simply a name for an expression. The equal sign ( = ) is not used for this operation in Maxima as is the case with some programming languages. This Maxima line of a input expression ends with a semicolon ( ; ) character. Each line of input must end with a semicolon or the dollar sign character ( $ ), the use of which will be described later.
Next, enter an assignment expression for the numerical value of the air density at sea level:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i2) \ρ : 0.0023769;
(ρ) 0.0023769</syntaxhighlight>Density ρ is in the units of slugs per cubic foot - slugs/ft³. With this next input expression, Maxima is asked to evaluate q. This is accomplished by two single quotation marks placed before q as shown next:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i3) ''q;
(%o3) 0.0033855446120918224*VTAS^2
</syntaxhighlight>
The output indicates that q depends on VTAS -- true airspeed. The goal is to evaluate q, if VTAS = 200 ft/s is true. One way to do that is with the following Maxima expression:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i4) ''q, VTAS = 200;
(%o4) 135.42178448367287
</syntaxhighlight>The result is about 135 pounds of force per square foot.
There is another way to accomplish this that may be somewhat more convenient for determining sea level dynamic pressure given true airspeed. First, assign the Maxima floating point literal value of 0.0033855446120918224 to an identifier named <code>c</code> as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i5) c : 0.0033855446120918224;
(c) 0.0033855446120918224</syntaxhighlight>Next, enter<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i6) q(VTAS) := c*VTAS^2;
(%o6) q(VTAS):=c*VTAS^2
</syntaxhighlight><syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i7) q(200);
(%o7) 135.4217844836729
</syntaxhighlight>This result is limited to sea level density. That does not make the result of no practical use. This relationship, or something similar is, used to calibrate aircraft airspeed indicators to display indicated airspeed (IAS) in the cockpit. However, it might be the case that it is necessary to determine the dynamic pressure at other altitudes besides sea level.
In the standard atmosphere model, air density is a function of altitude (h), and is defined piece-wise based on the atmospheric layer.
The density is derived from the Ideal Gas Law: <math>P = \rho R T</math> where in British Engineering units:
* <math>\rho</math> ‒ is density in slugs/ft³
* <math>P</math> ‒ is pressure in lbf/ft²
* <math>T</math>‒ is temperature in °R (Rankine)
* <math>R</math> ‒ is the specific gas constant (for dry air) approximately 1716.56 (ft·lbf)/(slug·°R)
<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i8) P = \ρ*R*T;
(%o8) P=RTρ
</syntaxhighlight>The backslash character ( <code>\</code> ) in front of the character for <math>\rho</math> in the input expression allows an identifier to use Unicode. This makes for some nicer looking output. This is a Maxima mathematical equation expression. This equation can be solved for <math>\rho</math> as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i9) solve(%,\ρ);
(%o58) [ρ=P/(R*T)]</syntaxhighlight>The Maxima built-in identifier <code>%</code> names the last output expression.The output of this expression is a Maxima list object with the only instance being the equation expression solved for <math>\rho</math>. Depending on the expression, the <code>solve()</code> operation may result in more than one solution expression. Maxima creates a list object for one or more solution expressions. This solution equation expression can be accessed as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i10) %[1];
(%o10) ρ=P/(R*T)
</syntaxhighlight>The value of this expression is obtained by referencing the first (and only) solution of the Maxima list object of solutions ‒ <code>[ρ=P*R*T]</code>. The reference is obtained by use of the <code>[1]</code> index syntax as shown. There are other ways Maxima can be used to accomplish the same result: <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i11) igl : P = \ρ*R*T;
(igl) P=R*T*ρ</syntaxhighlight>In this case the expression for the ideal gas law was assigned an identifier <code>igl</code>. The advantage to this sort of assignment is that the equation can be referred to using the identifier as follows for example:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i12) solve(igl,\ρ);
(%o12) [ρ=P/(R*T)]
</syntaxhighlight>The identifier <code>igl</code> can be used at any point to refer to the equation expression: <code>P = \ρ*R*T)</code>. An assignment operator can also be used to assign the identifier <code>solution</code> to an expression. For example:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i13) solve(igl,\ρ);
(%o13) [ρ=P/(R*T)]
(%i14) solution : solve(igl,\ρ);
(solution) [ρ=P/(R*T)]
(%i15) solve(solution,P)[1];
(%o15) P=R*T*ρ</syntaxhighlight>The last input and output expression might be somewhat of a "head-scratcher" at first glance, but it is worthwhile to understand how Maxima works in this case. The identifier solution names an expression that uses the <code>solve()</code> operator on the identifier <code>igl</code> as an argument. This expression is evaluated first by Maxima. Then the <code>solve()</code> operator is applied to the result solving for <code>P</code>. The result is a list object with one solution expression. This expression is then referred to using the <code>[1]</code> index, and the output is the equation expression <code>P=R*T*ρ</code> .
The expression for ρ (density) as a function of pressure (p) and temperature (°F) can be checked against known values using the following expressions: <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i16) \°R(\°F) := \°F + 459.67;
(%o16) °R(°F):=°F+459.67
(%i17) P(p) := p*144.0;
(%o17) P(p):=p*144.0
(%i18) R:1716.56;
(R) 1716.56
(%i19) \ρ(p,\°F) := P(p)/(''R*\°R(\°F));
(%o19) ρ(p,°F):=P(p)/(1716.56*°R(°F))</syntaxhighlight>The above Maxima expressions are examples of Maxima function expressions.
For standard sea level conditions of pressure and temperature as follows,
* p is 14.696 lbf/ft²
* °F is 59.0°
the calculated value for density is:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i20) \ρ(14.696,59.0);
(%20) 0.0023769033250291326</syntaxhighlight>Compare this resulting value of density with the the value of the table below for 0 altitude and temperature of 59.0 °F:

It would be useful to have the means to round result values to a desired number of decimal places. Maxima does not have a built-in operator for rounding decimal fraction values. Also, there is no package that is included as part of the Maxima distribution that provides for this capability. However, Robert Dodier has created a Maxima package that includes a function for this purpose ‒ named <code>excel_round.mac</code><code><ref>{{Cite web |last=Dodier |first=Robert |title=maxima-packages/robert-dodier/excel_round/ |url=https://github.com/maxima-project-on-github/maxima-packages/tree/master/robert-dodier/excel_round|website=GitHub}}</ref></code>.
However, to be able access the <code>excel_round()</code> function of this package, it must first be downloaded or copied into a location accessible to Maxima using the <code>load()</code> operator. The built-in Maxima <code>load()</code> operator is used to access specialized functions that are not built-in to Maxima. In order to use the <code>load()</code> operator, the location of the downloaded <code>excel_round.mac</code> file has to be part of the argument to the <code>load()</code> operator unless the file happens to be in the Maxima current working directory. The built-in <code>operatingsystem</code> package can provide some functions to help with determining the current working directory. This package is loaded as follows: <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i21) load(operatingsystem);
(%o21) "/usr/local/share/maxima/5.49.0/share/contrib/operatingsystem/operatingsystem.mac"
(%i22) getcurrentdirectory();
(%o22) "/home/username/"
</syntaxhighlight>In this example <code>username</code> is the name of the home directory of the user. so if the downloaded <code>excel_round.mac</code> file is not located in the current working directory, then the directory can be changed to the location where the file is located: <syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">(%i22) chdir("/home/username/local/maxima/packages");
(%o22) "#P"/home/username/local/maxima/packages""</syntaxhighlight>Now the <code>excel_round.mac</code> file can be loaded assuming it is within the directory
<code>/home/username/local/maxima/packages</code>
as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i23) load("excel_round.mac");
(%o23) "excel_round.mac"
</syntaxhighlight>Alternatively, if the location of the file is known it can be loaded using the full path name as follows for example:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i24) load("/home/username/local/maxima/packages/excel_round.mac");
(%o24) "/home/username/local/maxima/packages/excel_round.mac"
</syntaxhighlight>This method obviates the need for loading the <code>operatingsystem</code> package.
'''Note:''' The ''wxMaxima'' GUI makes loading packages simply a matter of a menu selection.
The density value above can be rounded to six decimal places as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i25) excel_round(ρ(14.696,59.0),6);
(%o25) 0.002377
</syntaxhighlight>This rounded value agrees with the sea level value of <math display="inline">23.77 \cdot 10^{-4}</math> slugs/ft³ taken from the table of Standard Atmosphere values. For Standard Atmosphere values of pressure ( 6.758 lbf/in² ) and temperature ( -12.26 °F ) at 20,000 ft the density value is:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i26) excel_round(ρ(6.759,-12.26),6);
(%o26) 0.001267
</syntaxhighlight>This rounded value agrees with the sea level value of <math display="inline">12.67 \cdot 10^{-4}</math> slugs/ft³ taken from the table of Standard Atmosphere values.
===== Pressure =====
However, what is needed for the task at hand is density as a function of altitude. Both the pressure P and the temperature T can be expressed as a function of altitude h:
<math display="block">P = P_0(1 - L\cdot h/T_0)^{g/(R \cdot L)}
</math>
Where in British Engineering units, the constants are:

Thus, the practical formula for pressure and temperatures in terms of British Engineering units are:

<math display="inline">T = 518.67 - 0.003563 \cdot h</math> °R

===== Density =====
The expressions for pressure and temperature as functions of altitude can be used with the expression for the ideal gas law for an expression of density as a function of altitude as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i42) ρ(h) := P(h)/(R*T(h));
(%o42) ρ(h):=P(h)/(R*T(h))
(%i42) excel_round(ρ(20000)*10^4,2);
(%o42) 12.67
</syntaxhighlight>This result agrees with the density value of the standard atmosphere at 20,000 ft. Using the expression for the air density as a function of altitude, an expression for dynamic pressure is as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i43) q(h,VTAS) := ((\ρ(h)*VTAS^2))/2;
(%o43) q(h,VTAS):=(ρ(h)*VTAS^2)/2
</syntaxhighlight>Using the expression above, values of dynamic pressure can be calculated as a function of altitude and true airspeed as follows for 20,000 feet and 15,000 feet at 200 ft/s:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i44) q(20000,200);
(%o44) 25.34079027107967
(%i45) q(15000,200);
(%o45) 29.922636037412556
</syntaxhighlight>This value can be checked using the value for density from the Standard Atmosphere table at 15,000 ft and the expression for dynamic pressure as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i46) excel_round(%,2);
(%o46) 29.92
(%i47) (200.0^2)*0.001496/2.0;
(%o47) 29.919999999999998
(%i48) excel_round(%,2);
(%o48) 29.92
</syntaxhighlight>In the context of aviation and aircraft performance, airspeeds are commonly referenced to knots (nautical miles per hour) instead of ft/s. To determine dynamic pressure as a function of altitude and true airspeed in knots, the following expressions are used:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i49) VTAS(knots) := 1.687811*knots;
(%o49) VTAS(knots):=1.687811*knots
(%i50) excel_round(VTAS(118.49676),2);
(%o50) 200.0
(%i51) q(h,knots)
(%o51) q(h,knots):=(ρ(h)*VTAS(knots)^2)/2
(%i52) excel_round(q(15000,118.49676),2);
(%o52) 29.92
</syntaxhighlight>So approximately 118 knots true airspeed is equivalent to 200 ft/s, and the above expression for dynamic pressure is in terms of a function of altitude in feet and true airspeed in knots.
==== Plotting ====
Maxima has several ways to do plotting. The image that follows is a simple plot of density as a function of altitude produced using the plotting operator <code>wxplot2d()</code>:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i53) T(h) := 518.688 - 0.0035616*h;
(%o53) T(h):=518.688-0.0035616*h
(%i54) P(h) := 2116.224*(1-6.8649*10^-6*h)^5.26054;
(%o54) P(h):=2116.224*(1-6.8649*10^(-6)*h)^5.26054
(%i55) R : 1716.56;
(R) 1716.56
(%i56) ρ(h) := P(h)/(R*T(h));
(%o56) ρ(h):=P(h)/(R*T(h))
(%i57) wxplot2d([ρ(h)], [h,-100,35000])$

==== A Practical Application - True Airspeed (TAS) ====
Having the display of TAS during actual flight conditions is very useful information. With the necessary sensors and electronics, TAS can be displayed continuously to pilots during changing flight conditions. One way to accomplish this is to have aircraft sensors that measure values of dynamic pressure, air pressure, and air temperature. These measured values can be used by electronic devices designed to calculate TAS for display and use by other equipment. The essentials of how this could be implemented can be demonstrated using Maxima by way of the expressions that follow:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i1) dpe : q = 1/2*ρ*V^2;
(dpe) q=(V^2*ρ)/2
(%i2) solutions:solve(dpe,V);
(solutions) [V=-(sqrt(2)*sqrt(q/ρ)),V=sqrt(2)*sqrt(q/ρ)]
</syntaxhighlight>The above expressions result in a list of two solution expressions. The second of these two is the one that is useful in this context.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i3) solutions[2];
(%o3) V=sqrt(2)*sqrt(q/ρ)
(%i4) igl : \ρ = P/(R*T);
(igl) ρ=P/(R*T)
(%i5) eq : subst(rhs(igl),\ρ,solutions[2]);
(%o5) V=sqrt(2)*sqrt((R*T*q)/P)
</syntaxhighlight>In the last of the above expressions the <code>subst()</code> operator is used to substitute an expression for density ρ in the expression for speed V.<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i6) R :1716.56;
(R) 1716.56
(%i7) V(q,P,T) := ''(rhs(eq));
(%o7) V(q,P,T):=sqrt(2)*sqrt((R*T*q)/P)
</syntaxhighlight>The value for R determines the units:
* dynamic pressure q is in lbf/ft²
* pressure P is in lbf/ft²
* T is in °R
* V is in ft/s
The second of the two expressions above define a Maxima function for V in terms of values of dynamic pressure q, air pressure P, and temperature T.
This expression for speed can be checked using known values. At 15,000 ft if:
q is 29.92 lbf/ft²
P is 1194.79 lbf/ft²
T is 465.24 °R
then:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i8) load("excel_round.mac");
(%o8) "/home/davidmiller/Downloads/excel_round.mac"
(%i9) excel_round(float(V(29.92,1194.79,465.24)),1);
(%o9) 200.0
</syntaxhighlight>This resulting value of 200 ft/s for the TAS agrees with previous calculations under the given conditions.
However, this is TAS in ft/s. Displaying TAS in terms of knots is much more relevant. The conversion factor for this purpose is 1.687811. So TAS in terms of knots can be expressed as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i10) TAS(q,P,T) := V( q,P,T)/1.687811;
(%o10) TAS(q,P,T):=V(q,P,T)/1.687811
(%i11) excel_round(float(TAS(29.92,1194.79,465.24)),1);
(%o11) 118.5
</syntaxhighlight>The result is 118.5 knots for TAS which agrees with previous calculated values.
The expression for TAS could have been more general by using an identifier (cf, for example) for the conversion factor as follows:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i12) TAS(q,P,T) := V( q,P,T)/cf;
(%o12) TAS(q,P,T):=V(q,P,T)/cf
(%i13) cf : 1.687811;
(cf) 1.687811
(%i14) excel_round(float(TAS(29.92,1194.79,465.24)),1);
(%o14) 118.5
</syntaxhighlight>The conversion factor for meters per second (m/s) is: 3.28084<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i15) cf:3.28084;
(cf) 3.28084
(%i16) excel_round(float(TAS(29.92,1194.79,465.24)),1);
(%o16) 61.0
</syntaxhighlight>This is TAS in meters per second. Thus, by changing the value of only the conversion factor, TAS could be determined for various units of measure.
== Summary ==
This section provided examples of the use of Maxima expressions in an applied context. It was demonstrated that Maxima can be used effectively for numerical computations. However, unlike typical general purpose programming languages, it was also demonstrated that Maxima is capable of providing much more capability than merely "number crunching" by way of symbolic operations. The symbolic expression capabilities of Maxima extend way beyond what was demonstrated in this section.
The purpose of this section is not to provide a comprehensive survey of the symbolic expression capabilities of Maxima. Rather, it is intended to be an introduction to Maxima for the sake of familiarity with the sort of expressions that are typical for using Maxima in an applied context, with the syntax that is used for Maxima expressions, and generally the important role expressions have in interacting with the Maxima interface.
Three Maxima operators that should be recognized as used frequently as evidenced by the expressions of this section are:
# <code>=</code> the equality operator (equation expressions)
# <code>:=</code> the Maxima function definition operator
# <code>:</code> the assignment operator
No matter the task at hand for which Maxima is being used, these three operators are likely to be essential, so having a clear understanding of the nature of each is important.
Here is what a ''wxMaxima'' "Tip of the Day" remarks about the first two:<blockquote>"Equations have several advantages over functions. For example they can be manipulated with factor(), expand() and similar functions. They can easily be introduced one into another."</blockquote>It is essential to recognize that Maxima function expressions entered using the <code>:=</code> operator are not synonymous with the mathematical concept of a function, and this is also the case with typical general purpose programming languages, and not only Maxima. The Maxima function (in the programming sense) operator can be used to define a function (in the mathematical sense), but this is not generally the case for all Maxima function expressions. Maxima function expressions can be entered that cannot be used to define a mathematical function in the technical sense.
To define a mathematical function using Maxima, to be precise, would require something similar to the following expressions:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i1) y = f(x);
(%o1) y=f(x)
(%i2) f(x) := x^3;
(%o2) f(x):=x^3
(%i3) y = f(x), x=3;
(%o3) y=27
(%i4) y = f(3);
(%o4) y=27
(%i5) is(y = f(3));
(%o5) false
(%i6) is(y = f(3)), y = 27;
(%o6) true
(%i7) f(3);
(%o7) 27
</syntaxhighlight>The first the above expressions, if evaluated, will have a value of <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>, depending on the values of <code>x</code> and <code>y</code>. The second of these two expressions will have a numerical value that depends only on the numerical value of <code>x</code>. This difference is essential to understand.
For a function, in the mathematical sense, it is necessary for values of ''x'' and ''y'' to evaluate to true as applied to the expression ''y = f(x)'', that is the values of the ordered pairs of numbers ''(x,y)'' evaluate the expression <code>y = f(x)</code> to <code>true</code> if they are instances of the function, and <code>false</code> otherwise.
The function <code>f(x)</code>, in the programming sense, can be defined in all sorts of ways as a Maxima expressions, including for the purpose of the definition of a mathematical function, but not necessarily so.
The <code>:</code> assignment operator is most typical used to name another value or expression. The word "identifier" in this case is understood to be a name that is in a sense identical to a value or expression. some examples follow:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i08) x : 2;
(x) 2
(%i09) x;
(%o09) 2
(%i10) y : 3.14159;
(y) 3.14159
(%i11) y;
(%o11) 3.14159
(%i12) r : rationalize(0.1);
(r) 3602879701896397/36028797018963968
(%i13) r;
(%o13) 3602879701896397/36028797018963968
(%i14) s : "a string";
(s) "a string"
(%i15) s;
(%o15) "a string"
(%i16) \9ofHearts : true;
(\9ofHearts) true
(%i17) \9ofHearts;
(%o17) true
</syntaxhighlight>Assignment is not limited however to simple expressions such as these. Entire expressions from simple to more complex can be assigned to identifiers. For example:<syntaxhighlight lang="maxima">
(%i18) z : m + n +3;
(z) n+m+3
(%i19) z;
(%o19) n+m+3
(%i20) ex1 : a*x^2 +b*x + c;
(ex1) c+2*b+4*a
(%i21) ex1;
(%o21) c+2*b+4*a
(%i22) ex2 : 'integrate( %e^(2*t+a)*sin(t)*t,t);
(ex2) integrate(%e^(2*t+a)*t*sin(t),t)
(%i23) ex2;
(%o23) integrate(%e^(2*t+a)*t*sin(t),t)
(%i24) solution : ex2, integrate;
(solution) ((10*%e^(2*t+a)*t-3*%e^(2*t+a))*sin(t)+(4*%e^(2*t+a)-5*%e^(2*t+a)*t)*cos(t))/25
(%i25) solution;
(%o25) ((10*%e^(2*t+a)*t-3*%e^(2*t+a))*sin(t)+(4*%e^(2*t+a)-5*%e^(2*t+a)*t)*cos(t))/25
</syntaxhighlight>This sort of assignment is not possible using typical general purpose programming languages, and will result in undefined variable error messages. For example in the case of Julia:<syntaxhighlight lang="julia-repl">
julia> z = m + n + 3
ERROR: UndefVarError: `m` not defined in `Main`
Suggestion: check for spelling errors or missing imports.
Stacktrace:
[1] top-level scope
@ REPL[1]:1
</syntaxhighlight>Julia is a very capable and useful programming language, especially for numerical computations, but symbolic expressions are not what Julia was intended to be used for. Maxima on the other hand, is quite at home with symbolic expressions.
Some of the output expressions in these examples are rendered in a much more readable and conventional manner by the ''wxMaxima'' GUI using typical mathematical notation. The output for <code>ex2</code> for example is rendered as:
[[File:Image_of_wxMaxima_output.png]]
The output for the <code>solution</code> identifier is rendered as:
[[File:Another image of wxMaxima expression.png|500x500px]]
The ''wxMaxima'' GUI can be configured to suppress the <code>%</code> character displayed before the special constant <code>%e</code> in the above output expressions if desired.
The reader is referred to Sections 9.6 (Assignment operators) and 22 (Equations) of the Maxima Help document for more information related to these three operators and more.

'''Speedy deletion''' is a deletion request where reasonable opposition is not expected or possible. Anyone can request speedy deletion, and anyone who objects or believes more discussion is needed can turn a speedy deletion candidate into a [[Wikibooks:Deletion policy#Requests for deletion|request for deletion]]. A speedy deletion nomination where there is '''any''' doubt that the criterion may not apply to the page should instead be a request for deletion. Speedy deletion requests made in bad faith can be removed by anyone.
Add <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Delete|delete]]<nowiki>|reasons for speedy deletion}}</nowiki></code> to the top of a page to request speedy deletion. That page will then appear in [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion]] for administrators to address whenever time is available.
Pages that satisfy any of the following criteria below can be considered for speedy deletion.
== General ==
General criteria apply to every type of page.
=== No meaningful content ===
This criterion applies to pages with no meaningful content. Content is not ''meaningful'' if it does not add value to readers or otherwise contribute to the project. What is considered "meaningful content" depends on the namespace. Under this criterion, you'll have to be careful when nominating or deleting pages. Always check and revert if good content in the revision history was replaced.
Absence of meaningful content includes, but is not limited to:
* Spam and [[Wikibooks:DWV|vandalism]].
* Test edits and nonsense.
=== Test page ===
This criterion applies to pages that are created to test editing or other Wikibooks functions. This criterion applies to subpages of the Wikibooks Sandbox created as tests, but does '''not''' apply to the Sandbox itself, pages in the user namespace, or valid but unused or duplicate templates.
=== Repost of work that was previously deleted ===
This criterion applies to sufficiently identical copies, having any title, of a page deleted via its most recent deletion discussion or with a speedy deletion. It excludes pages that are ''not'' substantially identical to the deleted version, and pages to which the reason for the deletion no longer applies. This criterion also does not cover content undeleted via a request for undeletion.
=== Author requests deletion ===
This criterion applies to pages that are being nominated by their only significant contributor.
=== Pages dependent on a non-existent or deleted page ===
This criterion applies to pages that are an example of, but not limited to:
* Talk pages with no corresponding subject page
* Subpages with no parent page
* Timed Text pages without a corresponding file (or when the file has been moved to Commons)
* Redirects to target pages that never existed or were deleted
* Editnotices of non-existent or unsalted deleted pages
Editors should be careful when nominating such pages, as they might be incorrectly named instead. In such cases, editors should move the page to its correctly-titled version.
=== Unambiguous copyright infringement ===
This criterion applies to text pages that contain copyrighted material with no credible assertion of public domain, fair use, or a compatible free license, where there is no non-infringing content on the page worth saving. Only if the history is unsalvageably corrupted should it be deleted in its entirety; earlier versions without infringement should be retained. Sources should be provided to prove the existence of copyright infringement.
=== Unambiguously LLM-genarated pages ===
This criterion applies to pages that were clearly genarated with the use of a Large Language Model (LLM), violating [[Wikibooks:Artificial intelligence]]. If there is any doubt about whether the page is LLM-genarated or not, a Request for Deletion should be created instead.
== Books ==
These criteria apply to pages in the book (main) namespace. They do not apply to redirects.
=== No context ===
This criterion applies to pages which lack sufficient context to identify the topic of the book.
=== Foreign language books ===
This criterion applies to pages which are not written in English. Speedy deletion nomination for these pages should clarify the language the book was written on.
=== No content ===
This crriterion applies to books consisting only of external links, category tags, attempts to correspond with the person or group named by its title, questions that should have been asked at a noticeboard, chat-like comments, template tags, or images.
=== Out of scope ===
This criterion applies to books that do not fit [[Wikibooks:What is Wikibooks?|the scope of Wikibooks]], including encyclopedic pages. Such pages may be exported to another WMF wiki where it would be in scope.
=== Abandoned books with no meaningful content ===
This criterion applies to books that have an outline or a draft, but have not been developed or expanded in a long time. In such cases, the nominator should first leave a message in the talk page of the author of the book. If the author responds by saying that they will expand it, the book should not be speedily deleted.
=== Consensus from contributors ===
This criterion applies to books whose main contributors have agreed to delete. If there is only one significant contributor, the "Author requests deletion" criterion is more appropriate.
== Redirects ==
These criteria apply to pages that redirect to another page.
=== Cross-namespace redirects ===
This criterion applies to redirects from the main namespace to any other namespace ''except'' the Category:, Template:, Wikibooks:, and Help: namespaces.
=== Redirects for implausible typos ===
This criterion applies to redirects from implausible typos or misnomers. However, redirects from common misspellings or misnomers are generally useful, as are some redirects in other languages. This criterion does not apply to redirects created as a result of a page move.
== Files ==
These criteria apply to pages in the File namespace.
=== Redundant ===
This criterion applies to unused duplicates or lower-quality/resolution copies of another Wikibooks file having the same file format.
=== Corrupt, missing, or empty file ===
This criterion applies to files that are corrupt, missing, empty, or that contain superfluous and blatant non-metadata information.
=== Improper license ===
This criterion applies to media licensed as "for non-commercial use only" (including non-commercial Creative Commons licenses), "no derivative use", "for Wikipedia use only", or "used with permission".
=== Lack of licensing information ===
This criterion applies to media files lacking the necessary licensing information to verify copyright status after being identified as such.
=== Files available as identical copies on Wikimedia Commons ===
This criterion applies to files whose identical copies are already avalible on Wikimedia Commons.
=== Unambiguous copyright infringement ===
This criterion applies to obviously non-free images (or other media files) that are not claimed by the uploader to be fair use. A URL or other indication of where the image originated should be mentioned. This does not include images with a credible claim that the owner has released them under a Wikibooks-compatible free license.
=== No evidence of permission ===
This criterion applies to files whose uploader has specified a license and has named a third party as the source or copyright holder without providing evidence that this third party has in fact agreed.
== Categories ==
These criteria apply to pages in the Category namespace.
=== Unpopulated categories ===
This criterion applies to categories that have been unpopulated (or only populated by pages themselves tagged for speedy deletion) for at least seven days. This does not apply to disambiguation categories, category redirects, categories under discussion at a deletion discussion venue, or project categories that by their nature may become empty on occasion.
== Templates ==
These criteria apply to pages in the Template or Module namespaces.
=== Unused template subpages ===
This criterion applies to unused subpages of templates or modules, such as:
* Template documentation subpages unused by the template itself (editors tagging and deleting such pages should ensure that all relevant content, including categories, has been moved to the template page or the replacement documentation)
* /core subpages which are not called by the template itself
== User pages ==
These criteria apply to pages in the User and User talk namespaces.
=== User request ===
This criterion applies to personal user pages and subpages (but not user talk pages) upon request by their user. This also includes editnotices for user pages.
=== Nonexistent user ===
This criterion applies to user pages, user subpages, and user talk pages of users that do not exist on the English Wikibooks (check [[Special:ListUsers]]), except user pages for IP users who have edited, redirects from misspellings of an established user's user page, and redirects created due to a user being renamed. Pages of users who exist on other WMF wikis but do not have local accounts are eligible for deletion.

Absence of meaningful content includes, but is not limited to:
* Spam and [[Wikibooks:DWV|vandalism]].
* Test edits and nonsense.
=== Test page ===
This criterion applies to pages that are created to test editing or other Wikibooks functions. This criterion applies to subpages of the Wikibooks Sandbox created as tests, but does '''not''' apply to the Sandbox itself, pages in the user namespace, or valid but unused or duplicate templates.
=== Repost of work that was previously deleted ===
This criterion applies to sufficiently identical copies, having any title, of a page deleted via its most recent deletion discussion or with a speedy deletion. It excludes pages that are ''not'' substantially identical to the deleted version, and pages to which the reason for the deletion no longer applies. This criterion also does not cover content undeleted via a request for undeletion.
=== Author requests deletion ===
This criterion applies to pages that are being nominated by their only significant contributor.
=== Pages dependent on a non-existent or deleted page ===
This criterion applies to pages that are an example of, but not limited to:
* Talk pages with no corresponding subject page
* Subpages with no parent page
* Timed Text pages without a corresponding file (or when the file has been moved to Commons)
* Redirects to target pages that never existed or were deleted
* Editnotices of non-existent or unsalted deleted pages
Editors should be careful when nominating such pages, as they might be incorrectly named instead. In such cases, editors should move the page to its correctly-titled version.
=== Unambiguous copyright infringement ===
This criterion applies to text pages that contain copyrighted material with no credible assertion of public domain, fair use, or a compatible free license, where there is no non-infringing content on the page worth saving. Only if the history is unsalvageably corrupted should it be deleted in its entirety; earlier versions without infringement should be retained. Sources should be provided to prove the existence of copyright infringement.
=== Unambiguously LLM-generated pages ===
This criterion applies to pages that were clearly generated with the use of a Large Language Model (LLM), violating [[Wikibooks:Artificial intelligence]]. If there is any doubt about whether the page is LLM-genarated or not, a [[Wikibooks:Requests for deletion|request for deletion]] should be created instead.
== Books ==
These criteria apply to pages in the book (main) namespace. They do not apply to redirects.
=== No context ===
This criterion applies to pages which lack sufficient context to identify the topic of the book.
=== Foreign language books ===
This criterion applies to pages which are not written in English. Speedy deletion nomination for these pages should clarify the language the book was written on.
=== No content ===
This crriterion applies to books consisting only of external links, category tags, attempts to correspond with the person or group named by its title, questions that should have been asked at a noticeboard, chat-like comments, template tags, or images.
=== Out of scope ===
This criterion applies to books that do not fit [[Wikibooks:What is Wikibooks?|the scope of Wikibooks]], including encyclopedic pages. Such pages may be exported to another WMF wiki where it would be in scope.
=== Abandoned books with no meaningful content ===
This criterion applies to books that have an outline or a draft, but have not been developed or expanded in a long time. In such cases, the nominator should first leave a message in the talk page of the author of the book. If the author responds by saying that they will expand it, the book should not be speedily deleted.
=== Consensus from contributors ===
This criterion applies to books whose main contributors have agreed to delete. If there is only one significant contributor, the "Author requests deletion" criterion is more appropriate.
== Redirects ==
These criteria apply to pages that redirect to another page.
=== Cross-namespace redirects ===
This criterion applies to redirects from the main namespace to any other namespace ''except'' the Category:, Template:, Wikibooks:, and Help: namespaces.
=== Redirects for implausible typos ===
This criterion applies to redirects from implausible typos or misnomers. However, redirects from common misspellings or misnomers are generally useful, as are some redirects in other languages. This criterion does not apply to redirects created as a result of a page move.
== Files ==
These criteria apply to pages in the File namespace.
=== Redundant ===
This criterion applies to unused duplicates or lower-quality/resolution copies of another Wikibooks file having the same file format.
=== Corrupt, missing, or empty file ===
This criterion applies to files that are corrupt, missing, empty, or that contain superfluous and blatant non-metadata information.
=== Improper license ===
This criterion applies to media licensed as "for non-commercial use only" (including non-commercial Creative Commons licenses), "no derivative use", "for Wikipedia use only", or "used with permission".
=== Lack of licensing information ===
This criterion applies to media files lacking the necessary licensing information to verify copyright status after being identified as such.
=== Files available as identical copies on Wikimedia Commons ===
This criterion applies to files whose identical copies are already avalible on Wikimedia Commons.
=== Unambiguous copyright infringement ===
This criterion applies to obviously non-free images (or other media files) that are not claimed by the uploader to be fair use. A URL or other indication of where the image originated should be mentioned. This does not include images with a credible claim that the owner has released them under a Wikibooks-compatible free license.
=== No evidence of permission ===
This criterion applies to files whose uploader has specified a license and has named a third party as the source or copyright holder without providing evidence that this third party has in fact agreed.
== Categories ==
These criteria apply to pages in the Category namespace.
=== Unpopulated categories ===
This criterion applies to categories that have been unpopulated (or only populated by pages themselves tagged for speedy deletion) for at least seven days. This does not apply to disambiguation categories, category redirects, categories under discussion at a deletion discussion venue, or project categories that by their nature may become empty on occasion.
== Templates ==
These criteria apply to pages in the Template or Module namespaces.
=== Unused template subpages ===
This criterion applies to unused subpages of templates or modules, such as:
* Template documentation subpages unused by the template itself (editors tagging and deleting such pages should ensure that all relevant content, including categories, has been moved to the template page or the replacement documentation)
* /core subpages which are not called by the template itself
== User pages ==
These criteria apply to pages in the User and User talk namespaces.
=== User request ===
This criterion applies to personal user pages and subpages (but not user talk pages) upon request by their user. This also includes editnotices for user pages.
=== Nonexistent user ===
This criterion applies to user pages, user subpages, and user talk pages of users that do not exist on the English Wikibooks (check [[Special:ListUsers]]), except user pages for IP users who have edited, redirects from misspellings of an established user's user page, and redirects created due to a user being renamed. Pages of users who exist on other WMF wikis but do not have local accounts are eligible for deletion.

Nigerian suya is one of the country’s most iconic street foods—smoky, spicy, and deeply flavorful. It’s essentially skewered meat [[Cookbook:Meat|(usually beef, sometimes chicken or goat)]] that’s thinly sliced, coated in a bold spice mix, and grilled over open flames.
At the heart of suya is its signature seasoning, called '''[[wikipedia:Yaji_(spice_blend)|yaji]]'''. This blend typically includes ground [[Cookbook:Herbs and Spices|peanuts, chili pepper, ginger, garlic, and other spices.]] The peanut base gives suya its slightly nutty taste, while the chili delivers a noticeable heat that can range from mild to intense depending on who’s making it.
Suya is traditionally prepared by Hausa street vendors known as ''mai suya'', who grill the meat on long skewers over charcoal. As it cooks, they often baste it with oil and sprinkle extra yaji on top, creating that distinctive smoky crust. It’s usually served hot, wrapped in paper, and accompanied by sliced onions, tomatoes, and sometimes cabbage. A sprinkle of extra spice on the side is common if you want more kick.
You’ll find suya everywhere in Nigeria—especially in the evenings—sold at roadside stands and bustling markets. Beyond just food, it’s a social experience: people gather around, chat, and enjoy freshly grilled skewers straight off the fire.
If you like bold, spicy barbecue-style dishes, suya is definitely worth trying.
== INGREDIENTS ==
* [[Cookbook:Ingredients|Thinly sliced '''beef''' (most traditional) ''Alternatives:'' chicken, ram (mutton), or goat]]

* [[Cookbook:Ingredients|Onion powder]]
* [[Cookbook:Ingredients|Stock cubes (crushed)]]
* [[Cookbook:Ingredients|Salt]]
* [[Cookbook:Ingredients|Optional: paprika, cloves, or black pepper (for extra depth)]]
== PROCEDURE ==
* '''Slice meat thinly''' (usually beef).
* '''Mix yaji''' (ground peanuts, chili, ginger, garlic, onion, salt, seasoning).
* '''Coat the meat''' with oil and the spice mix; let it rest briefly.
* '''Skewer the meat''' and add more spice.
* '''Grill over charcoal''', turning often, until cooked and slightly charred.
* '''Serve hot''' with onions, tomatoes, and extra spice.

You will need to fix the recipes, but I can help you with one of them to help you understand what I mean. One of the most important things you're missing is quantities, since these are needed for someone to replicate the recipe. Could you start by adding quantities to [[Cookbook:Nigerian Miyan Giyada]], and I can then help with the formatting?

== Files and Templates ==
The draft currently has a template criterion and 7 file criteria. However, it seems that we don't need criteria for such pages. There hasn't been [https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=upload&user=&page=&excludetempacct=1&wpdate=&tagfilter=&wpfilters%5B%5D=newusers&wpFormIdentifier=logeventslist a single file uploaded since November 2025,] and we already restrict file uploading to the <code>uploader</code> user group anyway. Additionally, there isn't much template vandalism here. Do we need criteria for these categories or should they be removed?

Ukpo ogede is a traditional Nigerian dish popular among the Igbo people of southeastern Nigeria.
It is made from ripe [[Cookbook:Plantain|plantains]] that are mashed or blended into a smooth paste, then mixed with ingredients like [[Cookbook:Palm Oil|palm oil]], [[Cookbook:Herbs and Spices|pepper, onions]], and sometimes fish or crayfish. The mixture is wrapped in leaves (such as banana leaves) or placed in containers and steamed until it becomes firm.
Ukpo ogede has a soft, moist texture and a slightly sweet, savory taste due to the ripe plantain. It is often eaten as a main meal or snack and is valued for its rich flavor and traditional preparation method.

== 3...Na5? · Pollock defence ==
{{Chess/sideline}}
An unusual and poor move, Black moves their knight again in the opening and leaves their pawn undefended.
When facing moves like this, White should think carefully before taking the free material. A famous trap in the Italian game, the [[Chess Opening Theory/1. e4/1...e5/2. Nf3/2...Nc6/3. Bc4/3...Nd4|Blackburne shilling gambit]], begins 3...Nd4, where Black undefends e5 intending to answer Nxe5? with ...Qg5!, attacking the knight and the vulnerable g2-pawn at the same time.<ref>3...Nd4 in the Spanish is called Bird's defence and conceals the same trap, though since ...Nd4 also attacks White's bishop, even players unfamiliar with the trap tend to find the better move, 4. Nxd4.</ref>
Here after 3...Na5 it's not so clear if White can't take the pawn. '''4. Nxe5''' Qg5 (which has the additional feature of pinning the knight to the bishop) 5. d4 Qxg2 and either 6. Rf1 Qxe4+ 7. Be3, or better is 6. Qf3! Qxf3 7. Nxf3 {{chess/not|+}}. A better implementation of this trap is [[../3...Nb4|3...Nb4?!]], where if White takes on e5, at the end of the variation Black has ...Nxc2+!
If the idea isn't 4...Qg5, Black may try 4...c6, driving the bishop away. 5. Ba4 b5 6. Bb3 Nxb3 7. axb3 {{chess/not|++}} is fine for White, or they might try 5. Be2 and see if Black allows their knight to becomes trapped at the edge of the board (e.g. 5...d6 6. Nf3 Nf6 7. b4! {{chess/not|+++}}).
=== History ===
[[w:William H. K. Pollock|William H. K. Pollock]] (1859―1896) was an English chess master and surgeon. He won Irish Chess Association Masters in 1885, competed in the 6th American Chess Congress, and represented Canada at [[w:Hastings 1895 chess tournament|Hastings 1895]] before dying of tuberculosis the following year.

}}
These savory fritters draw inspiration from the culinary traditions of the Silk Road. Coarsely grated carrots weave bright orange strands throughout, bringing a subtle sweetness to the earthy chickpeas. Deep-frying creates a delicate crust that shatters beautifully when bitten. They make a fantastic plant-based appetizer or light lunch.
== Ingredients ==
* 1 cup dried chickpeas
* 1 tablespoon water
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 2 cups coarsely grated carrots (about 3/4 pound)
* Peanut oil, for deep-frying
== Procedure ==
# Wash the chickpeas and soak them overnight, covered, in 4 cups of water.
# Drain the chickpeas and transfer to a food processor. Add 1 tablespoon of water, the salt, and the pepper. Process until finely ground. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add the carrots, and mix well.
# Scoop 2 tablespoons of the mixture, shape into a ball, and flatten into a disk about 2 inches across. Set aside on a lightly floured baking sheet. Repeat to form about 14 disks.
# Pour 2 inches of peanut oil into a large wok or deep pot and heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 325 to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
# Slide 3 or 4 disks into the oil and cook for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, turning once, until nicely browned on both sides.
# Lift the fritters from the oil, let excess oil drain, and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Fry remaining batches.
== Notes ==
* Serve warm with a spicy chili paste or your favorite dipping sauce.
* The fritters are entirely plant-based and suitable for vegan diets.

Gizdodo is a popular Nigerian dish that combines fried plantain (dodo) and spiced gizzard (giz), creating a flavorful and satisfying meal.
It is widely enjoyed across Nigeria and is especially common at parties, restaurants, and gatherings. The dish is prepared by frying ripe plantains until golden, cooking gizzard until tender, and then mixing both in a rich pepper sauce made with tomatoes, [[Cookbook:Herbs and Spices|onions, and spices.]]
Gizdodo has a perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors—the sweetness of the plantain complements the savory, slightly chewy [[Cookbook:Meat|gizzard]] and the spicy sauce. It is often served as a side dish, [[Cookbook:Snacks|snack]], or party food, making it a favorite in Nigerian cuisine.

# '''Simmer briefly''' Let it cook for a few minutes so all flavors combine.
# '''Serve''' Serve hot as a side dish or snack.
It should be a perfect mix of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors.

'''Garlic Shrimp Pasta''' is a quick one-pan Italian-inspired dish featuring succulent shrimp sautéed with garlic and olive oil, tossed with linguine in a light white wine and lemon sauce. Ready in under 30 minutes, it is ideal for busy weeknights.
==Ingredients==
* 400 g (14 oz) linguine or spaghetti
* 450 g (1 lb) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 3 tablespoons olive oil
* 120 ml (½ cup) dry white wine or chicken broth
* 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
* ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
* Salt and black pepper, to taste
* 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
* 30 g (1 oz) grated Parmesan cheese, to serve
==Procedure==
# Cook pasta in a large pot of generously salted boiling water according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 120 ml (½ cup) pasta cooking water before draining.
# Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
# Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook 1–2 minutes per side until pink and just cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
# Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and garlic to the pan. Sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.
# Add white wine (or broth) and lemon juice. Simmer 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits.
# Add drained pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water a splash at a time if needed to loosen the sauce.
# Return shrimp to the pan and toss everything together. Adjust seasoning.
# Serve immediately, topped with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan.
==Notes, tips, and variations==
* For extra richness, add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter with the garlic.
* Substitute dry white wine with clam juice or additional chicken broth for an alcohol-free version.
* Angel hair pasta works well for a lighter dish; reduce cooking time accordingly.

'''Vegetable Marinara Sauce''' is a chunky, one-pot tomato sauce packed with zucchini, bell pepper, and carrot. It is thicker and heartier than a plain marinara, making it suitable as a pasta sauce, pizza sauce, or dipping sauce. The recipe is naturally vegan.
==Ingredients==
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 medium onion, diced
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 medium carrot, finely diced
* 1 medium zucchini, diced
* 1 red bell pepper, diced
* 800 g (28 oz) crushed tomatoes (two 400 g cans)
* 2 tablespoons tomato paste
* 1 teaspoon dried oregano
* 1 teaspoon dried basil
* ½ teaspoon sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
* Salt and black pepper, to taste
* Small handful fresh basil leaves, to finish
==Procedure==
# Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and carrot; cook 5 minutes until softened.
# Add garlic and stir 1 minute until fragrant.
# Add zucchini and bell pepper; cook 4–5 minutes until just tender.
# Stir in tomato paste and cook 1 minute.
# Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, dried basil, sugar (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir well.
# Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens.
# Taste and adjust seasoning. Stir in fresh basil just before serving.
==Notes, tips, and variations==
* For a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to partially blend after cooking.
* Add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic for a spicy version.
* The sauce keeps refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for 3 months.
* Stir in 240 g (1 cup) of cooked lentils to make it a hearty meat-free pasta sauce.

'''Apricot Muffins''' are tender, lightly sweetened muffins studded with pieces of fresh or dried apricot. They are quick to mix by hand and bake in 20 minutes, making them a convenient breakfast or snack.
==Ingredients==
* 250 g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
* 100 g (½ cup) granulated sugar
* 1 tablespoon baking powder
* ½ teaspoon salt
* ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 2 large eggs
* 180 ml (¾ cup) whole milk
* 80 ml (⅓ cup) vegetable oil or melted butter
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 200 g (1½ cups) fresh apricots, stoned and diced (or 150 g dried apricots, chopped)
==Procedure==
# Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper cases.
# Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
# In a separate bowl, beat eggs with milk, oil, and vanilla.
# Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined – do not over-mix; a few lumps are fine.
# Fold in apricot pieces.
# Divide batter evenly among the 12 cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
# Bake 18–22 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean and tops are golden.
# Cool in the tin 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
==Notes, tips, and variations==
* Lightly coat diced apricots in 1 tablespoon of flour before folding in; this helps prevent them sinking to the bottom.
* For a crunch topping, sprinkle with a mixture of 2 tablespoons sugar and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon before baking.
* Replace half the flour with whole-wheat flour for a heartier texture.
* Substitute apricots with peaches or nectarines in season.

==Procedure==
# Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook 5 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
# Add potatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 15–18 minutes until potatoes are very tender.
# Using a potato masher or the back of a spoon, mash about half the potatoes in the pot for a thick, chunky texture. Alternatively, blend one-third of the soup with an immersion blender for a creamier result.
# Stir in milk and sour cream. Heat gently over low heat – do not boil.
# Add shredded cheddar, stirring until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
# Ladle into bowls and top with extra cheddar, crumbled bacon, and chopped chives.
==Notes, tips, and variations==
* To make it vegetarian, omit bacon and use vegetable broth. Top with smoked paprika instead.
* For extra richness, substitute the milk with heavy cream.
* Russet potatoes are preferred for their starchy, fluffy texture; waxy potatoes will give a gluier result.
* Leftover soup thickens considerably when chilled; thin with broth or milk when reheating.

* 1 medium onion, diced
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
* 750 ml (3 cups) chicken or vegetable broth
* 250 ml (1 cup) whole milk
* 120 ml (½ cup) sour cream
* 120 g (1 cup) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded, plus more to serve
* 4 strips bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
* Salt and black pepper, to taste
* 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped, to serve
==Procedure==
# Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook 5 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
# Add potatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 15–18 minutes until potatoes are very tender.

'''Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies''' are buttery, chewy drop cookies with crisp edges and soft centres, packed with semi-sweet chocolate chips. Chilling the dough before baking intensifies flavour and prevents excess spreading.
==Ingredients==
* 280 g (2¼ cups) all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon fine salt
* 225 g (1 cup / 2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
* 200 g (1 cup) granulated sugar
* 200 g (1 cup, packed) light brown sugar
* 2 large eggs, room temperature
* 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
* 340 g (2 cups) semi-sweet chocolate chips
==Procedure==
# Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; set aside.
# Beat butter with both sugars in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
# Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla.
# Add flour mixture and mix on low speed until just combined.
# Fold in chocolate chips with a spatula.
# Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes (up to 72 hours).
# Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
# Scoop heaped tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them 5 cm (2 in) apart.
# Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are set and golden but centres still look slightly underdone.
# Cool on the baking sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Cookies firm up as they cool.
==Notes, tips, and variations==
* Browning the butter before beating with sugar adds a nutty, toffee-like depth of flavour.
* For thicker cookies, use bread flour (higher protein) and add an extra egg yolk.
* Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top just before baking for a sweet-salty contrast.
* Mix in 100 g chopped walnuts or pecans along with the chocolate chips.

text/x-wiki
== Description ==
Classic Banana Bread is a moist, tender quick bread made with overripe bananas. It is one of the most beloved home-baked goods in American kitchens, known for its natural sweetness and rich banana flavor. The darker and spottier the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the bread.
== Ingredients ==
* 3 very ripe bananas (about 1½ cups mashed)
* ⅓ cup (75 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
* ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
* 1 large egg, beaten
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* ¼ teaspoon fine salt
* 1½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
=== Optional add-ins ===
* ½ cup (85 g) chocolate chips
* ½ cup (60 g) chopped walnuts or pecans
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
== Procedure ==
# Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch (23×13 cm) loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
# In a large mixing bowl, mash the peeled bananas thoroughly with a fork until smooth with only small lumps remaining.
# Stir the melted butter into the mashed banana until fully combined.
# Mix in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract.
# Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and stir to combine.
# Add the flour all at once and fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix — a few streaks of flour are fine.
# Fold in any optional add-ins (chocolate chips, nuts, or cinnamon) if using.
# Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
# Bake for 55–65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
# Remove from oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
== Notes, tips and variations ==
* '''Banana ripeness:''' Use bananas with fully brown, spotted skins for maximum sweetness. If your bananas are not ripe enough, place unpeeled bananas on a baking sheet at 300°F (150°C) for 15–20 minutes until the skins turn black.
* '''Moisture:''' Do not overbake. The bread is done when the center is set; slight underbaking keeps it moist.
* '''Storage:''' Wrap cooled banana bread tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
* '''Freezing:''' Slice and freeze individual portions between parchment paper for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or toast from frozen.
* '''Butter substitute:''' Substitute melted coconut oil or neutral vegetable oil for a dairy-free version.
* '''Brown sugar variation:''' Replace granulated sugar with packed brown sugar for a deeper, molasses-like flavor.

text/x-wiki
== Description ==
Lemon Blueberry Scones are tender, flaky British-style scones bursting with fresh blueberries and bright lemon zest. They come together quickly, making them ideal for weekend brunches or afternoon tea. The lemon glaze adds a tangy sweetness that complements the jammy berries.
== Ingredients ==
=== Scones ===
* 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
* ⅓ cup (65 g) granulated sugar
* 1 tablespoon baking powder
* ½ teaspoon fine salt
* Zest of 1 large lemon
* ½ cup (115 g) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
* ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream, plus more for brushing
* 1 large egg
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 cup (150 g) fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)
=== Lemon Glaze ===
* 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar, sifted
* 2–3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
* 1 teaspoon lemon zest
== Procedure ==
# Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
# In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest.
# Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
# In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
# Pour the cream mixture over the flour mixture and stir gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
# Fold in the blueberries gently — if using frozen berries, work quickly to prevent streaking.
# Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a circle about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.
# Cut the circle into 8 wedges using a sharp knife or bench scraper.
# Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. Brush the tops lightly with heavy cream.
# Bake for 18–22 minutes, until golden brown on top and bottom.
# Cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
# Prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over slightly warm scones.
== Notes, tips and variations ==
* '''Cold butter is essential:''' Warm butter melts into the dough and produces bread-like texture rather than flaky scones. Freeze the butter for 15 minutes before cutting.
* '''Do not overmix:''' Once liquid is added, mix only until the dough just comes together.
* '''Frozen blueberries:''' Work fast — frozen berries can bleed purple color into the dough if handled too much.
* '''Make ahead:''' Shaped unbaked scones can be refrigerated overnight and baked fresh the next morning.
* '''Raspberry variation:''' Substitute blueberries with fresh raspberries for a different flavor profile.

Created Creamy Tomato Basil Soup recipe with ingredients, procedure, notes, and categories

wikitext
text/x-wiki
== Description ==
Creamy Tomato Basil Soup is a classic comfort food that transforms simple pantry ingredients into a silky, rich soup. Using canned San Marzano tomatoes ensures consistent sweetness year-round. A swirl of heavy cream and a handful of fresh basil finish the soup with depth and brightness. Pairs perfectly with grilled cheese sandwiches.
== Ingredients ==
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
* 4 garlic cloves, minced
* 2 cans (28 oz / 800 g each) whole peeled tomatoes, preferably San Marzano
* 1½ cups (360 ml) vegetable broth or chicken broth
* 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
* ½ teaspoon dried oregano
* ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
* Salt and black pepper, to taste
* ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
* ¼ cup (10 g) fresh basil leaves, loosely packed, plus more for garnish
== Procedure ==
# Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6–8 minutes until softened and translucent.
# Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
# Add the canned tomatoes (with juices), broth, sugar (if using), oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
# Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
# Remove from heat. Add the fresh basil leaves.
# Using an immersion blender, blend the soup directly in the pot until completely smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.
# Stir in the heavy cream and heat over low heat for 2–3 minutes. Do not boil after adding cream.
# Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
# Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of cream if desired.
== Notes, tips and variations ==
* '''Roasted tomato version:''' Roast canned or fresh tomatoes at 400°F (205°C) for 30 minutes before adding to the pot for a deeper, caramelized flavor.
* '''Dairy-free:''' Substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk or cashew cream.
* '''Vegan:''' Use vegetable broth and a dairy-free cream substitute.
* '''Storage:''' Refrigerate for up to 4 days. Freeze (without cream) for up to 3 months; add cream when reheating.
* '''Thickness:''' For a thicker soup, simmer longer to reduce, or add a small potato (peeled and diced) during cooking and blend it in.
* '''Fresh tomatoes:''' In summer, substitute 3 lbs (1.4 kg) ripe fresh tomatoes, cored and halved. Roasting them first is recommended.

= Artificial Mankind: The Self‑Domestication of Man =
Today, as I read an article on Ars Technica about vitamin K and infant death, I found myself reflecting on how strangely the problem was framed. Not because the biology was wrong, but because the narrative placed the weight of foresight on individual parents—humans who, like all of us, are shaped by systems far larger than themselves. It treated them as if they should have anticipated consequences that no single organism, living inside a vast technological and institutional mesh, can truly see. They cannot. We cannot. As a species, we are no better at predicting the long‑term effects of the environments and tools we create. We live inside them, and they sculpt us more than we sculpt them.
Humanity has been trying to understand this tension for centuries. Thinkers like [[wikipedia:Jean-Jacques Rousseau|Rousseau]], [[wikipedia:Thomas Hobbes|Hobbes]], and [[wikipedia:Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz|Leibniz]] all wrestled with the conflict between nature and society, between the individual and the collective, between freedom and structure. But the modern world has pushed this conflict into a new regime. We have not only stepped outside the ecological conditions that formed us; we have begun to systematically rewrite them, and in doing so we have become increasingly fragile.
== The Departure From Nature ==
Humanity has replaced natural selection with medical intervention, industrial food, sanitation, global supply chains, and institutional protection. These systems shield individuals from the immediate consequences that once shaped survival and reproduction. They are not laws of nature; they are contingent constructions, dependent on energy, resources, and coordination. If they fail, the underlying biological constraints reassert themselves instantly.. But these systems are not natural laws. They are contingent, resource‑dependent, and fragile. If they fail, the underlying biological constraints return immediately.
At the same time, we have saturated our environment with novel signals and substances. Endocrine‑active compounds from plastics, pesticides, and industrial byproducts enter water and soil and the industrialization of Agribusiness and Food processing. Microplastics circulate through our bodies. Diets based on highly processed foods and crops like soy, corn and palm reshape, the introduction preservation methods such as heat treatment (blanching, pasteurization, sterilization, and canning), cold storage, freezing, drying and chemical additives all alter the food quality we eat with effects to [[wikipedia:Human_microbiome|microbiome]]—the ancient microbial ecosystem that co‑evolved with us and calibrates immunity, metabolism, and even aspects of behavior. Screens and networks bombard nervous systems with patterns and narratives that did not exist for almost all of human evolutionary history. The organism responds, but the cues are mismatched to its ancestral expectations.
In this sense, we are doing to ourselves what we once did to wolves, cattle, and grains. Domestication is not primarily about cages; it is about changing selection pressures. When humans domesticated animals and plants, they removed predators, stabilized food supply, and selected for traits that fit human needs: docility, productivity, predictability. The result was a loss of resilience and a narrowing of adaptive range. The domesticated organism thrives inside the managed system and struggles outside it. It becomes weak, genetic similar and space constrained open to disease and pathologist. We can see the nefarious effects some breading has had from chickens to dogs.
Human society now functions as a domestication apparatus for our own species. It seeks stability, predictability, and control. It rewards behaviors that fit institutional needs and penalizes those that do not. It narrows the viable behavioral and cognitive space, not out of malice, but because large, interdependent systems require standardization to remain coherent. Yet every gain in control carries a cost in flexibility. We become more specialized, more dependent, more like components in a hive.
This is not a moral accusation. It is not an argument that things were “better” in some imagined past. It is a description of a trajectory: a species that has increasingly outsourced its survival to artificial systems, while its biology still carries the imprint of older worlds. The question is not whether this process is happening—it is. The question is whether the technological and cultural scaffolding we now rely on can be maintained, and what happens to a self‑domesticated species if that scaffolding fails.
Consider the rise of C‑sections. In many countries, surgical birth is no longer an emergency procedure but a routine one. This bypasses the natural selection pressures that once shaped pelvic structure, fetal development, and maternal health. It preserves traits that would not survive without medical intervention. The same applies to antibiotics, insulin, organ transplants, and countless other medical technologies. They save lives, but they also accumulate evolutionary debt.
== Pollution, Endocrine Disruptors, and Developmental Instability ==
Modern pollution introduces endocrine disruptors into the environment—substances that interfere with hormonal development. These chemicals affect reproductive systems, fertility, secondary sexual characteristics, and even neurological development. They create identity instability not because individuals are confused, but because the environment itself is sending contradictory biological signals. The organism is responding to an artificial landscape that its evolutionary history never prepared it for.
Body image pressures, social media amplification, and the collapse of traditional identity anchors further destabilize the sense of self. These are not moral failures; they are consequences of an environment that no longer resembles the one our species evolved to navigate.
== Historical Attempts to Control Human Variation ==
The desire to control human traits is not new. The eugenics movement in the United States, supported by figures like [[wikipedia:Charles Davenport|Charles Davenport]] and institutions such as the [[wikipedia:Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory|Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory]], sought to engineer society by sterilizing those deemed “unfit.” Nazi Germany took these ideas to their most horrific extreme, combining pseudoscience with state power to enforce a vision of biological purity.
These examples illustrate a recurring pattern: when society attempts to control human variation, it inevitably causes harm. It misunderstands the role of diversity in species survival. It confuses conformity with strength. And it forgets that nature does not optimize for predictability; it optimizes for adaptability.
== Immune Fragility and the Hygiene Hypothesis ==
Modern environments are increasingly sanitized. The hygiene hypothesis suggests that reduced exposure to microbes in early life contributes to food allergies, asthma, and autoimmune disorders. The immune system evolved to calibrate itself through exposure to the natural world. When that exposure is removed, the system becomes confused. This is another example of self‑domestication: a system optimized for a natural environment malfunctioning in an artificial one.
== Genetic Memory and Ancestral Expectations ==
Animal models show that certain responses—fear, stress reactions, behavioral tendencies—can be passed across generations through epigenetic mechanisms. This phenomenon, sometimes called genetic memory, has been observed in mice, birds, and insects. If it exists in these species, it would be strange if humans were exempt. Our bodies and minds carry expectations shaped by millions of years of natural selection. But modern society does not match those expectations. The mismatch produces anxiety, instability, and reactions that seem irrational only because the environment has changed faster than the organism.
== Social Structure, Specialization, and the Hive Pattern ==
Human society has become increasingly specialized. We are building something that resembles an insect hive: individuals reduced to narrow roles, dependent on the collective for survival, unable to function outside the system. This specialization increases efficiency but reduces resilience. When a bee loses its hive, it dies. When a human loses the system that sustains them, the result is often the same.
The rising rates of suicide across developed nations reflect this fragility. People are not failing; the environment is failing them. The system demands conformity, but the organism demands diversity. The tension between the two produces suffering.
== Reproduction, Autonomy, and Cultural Narratives ==
Reproductive freedom, religious dogma, and institutional norms all shape the human condition. They influence who is born, who survives, and how society defines the value of life. These forces are not moral absolutes; they are expressions of competing narratives about control, autonomy, and the role of the individual within the collective. They illustrate how deeply society attempts to regulate the natural process, often without understanding the long‑term consequences.
== Conclusion: A Species at Risk of Its Own Success ==
Humanity has not escaped nature. It has only delayed it. The longer we delay, the more fragile we become. The more we suppress diversity, the narrower our adaptive range becomes. The more we depend on artificial systems, the more catastrophic their failure becomes.
This is not a moral argument. It is not an emotional argument. It is a recognition that nature does not care about our narratives. It cares about viability. And viability requires diversity, unpredictability, and the full spectrum of human variation—traits that modern society increasingly suppresses.
We have become, in many respects, an artificial humanity living in an artificial ecology, domesticated by its own systems.The question is not whether this is happening. It is. The question is whether the systems that sustain us can be maintained—and what happens if they cannot.
