Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Barry Thimble. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Barry Thimble~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:01, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.

Talk:Welsh

This is definitely one we need to get going! I think we need to take out the useful phrases section and put that on a different page, it's too heavy to put straight in at the start. Kijog 19:37, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Right - here goes... A vague lessonplan to teach welsh...

I think each lesson should include the following:

 * Introduce topic and what is to be learnt
 * Short Vocab list (20words?
 * Dialogue (we could get this recorded as a finishing touch and add a sound file)
 * Grammar explanation and Tricky bits
 * Exercises and Answers
 * Recap

So:

Lesson 1

 * Introductions, Verb to be.
 * Dialogue (a few lines)
 * How to say I am, you are, he is etc. (Note: Also say about the copula (ydw i etc.) AledJames 11:45, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Mae stays the same for plural nouns.
 * Exercise: Construct simple sentences: I am John, He is a teacher. (link to vocab list of occupations)
 * Answers Kijog 11:31, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

add as and when...

Sound
Note about sound files: They have to be encoded in .ogg, right? I'm not entirely sure how you would go about doing this AledJames 11:45, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, i suppose that's a bridge we are going to have to cross when we get there. I have seen them before (.ogg) on other pages but I don't even know what software you need to play them with.... Kijog 12:32, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Numbers
I've found a table on the Wikipedia article Welsh language which has the base-20 and base-10 numbers set out next to each other. I've requested it comes over through transwiki, AledJames - would you mind if we replace the non-table list we have? Kijog 12:07, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Very well, do it AledJames 11:38, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Just wondering: do you really want to suggest people should "complete" the material on numbers before beginning the first lesson? People usually find the base-20 system both difficult and annoying. It isn't something I'd expect to see covered before learning how to ask somebody's name, for example. How do I add a signature to this without a button? Will it happen automatically...?

Proposed Lesson Layout
Hey everyone, I'm quite new to wikibooks and all the standard conventions, so please forgive me if I completely do something wrong. I'd quite like to contribute to this book and still trying to figure out naming conventions/creating templates/etc. so we can make this book featured! Please bear with me while I learn the wikicode.

I'm working on a proposed lesson layout based on the teaching conventions adopted by the WJEC. I'll include my thoughts below, although they need to be organised better and perhaps subdivided more, but this gives a rough idea of my idea for the flow of the book.

So this rough type of page hierarchy and restructure:
 * Lessons
 * Introductory Lessons
 * Brief History of the Welsh Language
 * The Alphabet
 * Brief Preview of Mutations and Other Grammatical Features
 * Greetings
 * Numbers 1-10
 * Mynediad
 * Basic conversation and present tense (First and second person pronouns)
 * Expanding present tense (all pronouns), more verbs, definite article
 * Negative present tense
 * 'Mynd' present tense to go, introduction to soft mutation
 * Possession using 'Oes' and 'Mae' patterns
 * Expanding numbers
 * Telling the time
 * Dealing with money
 * The Perfect Tense (Dwi wedi siarad)
 * Past tense of 'go'
 * Past tense of 'do'
 * Past tense of 'cael'
 * Past tense patterns, the stem
 * Asking for things
 * Expressing necessity
 * Soft Mutation
 * Telling Time
 * Possessive pronoun 'his' and 'her' (introduction to aspirate mutation)
 * Possessive pronoun 'my' (introduction to nasal mutation)
 * Describing, using adjectives
 * Basic commands
 * Sylfaen
 * The Imperfect Tense (Roeddwn i)
 * The Future Tense (Byddaf i)
 * The Future Tense - Short Form (Tala i)
 * The Conditional (Baswn i)
 * Hoffwn/Gallwn/Dylwn
 * The Passive Voice (Dwi'n cael fy nhalu)
 * Comparisons (mor a, yn fwy, y fwya, etc.)
 * Irregular Comparisons (gwaeth, gwell, etc.)
 * Canolradd
 * Irregular commands
 * Concise impersonal (Agorir yr ysgol, talwyd y plant)
 * Verbs and preposition combinations (anfon at, ymweld a, etc.)
 * Personal prepositions (iddo fe, iddi hi, etc.)
 * Uwch
 * Points of Formal Welsh (Rywf, etc.)
 * More on prepositions
 * Noun clauses
 * Examining word patterns and spellings (plural endings
 * Grammar References
 * Mutations
 * Gender
 * Verb Tables
 * Preposition Tables
 * Resources
 * Links
 * Computing in Welsh (typing accents, etc.)
 * Vocabulary Lists

I don't think it makes sense to call Welsh "One of the oldest European languages surviving", as it's really no older than any other (and has changed more than some – cf the "q" to "p" shift). It has one of the longest-surviving literary heritages (though a good deal less than Greek or Latin) – is that what is meant? Deipnosophista (discuss • contribs) 13:44, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Removed
"One of the oldest European languages surviving..." this article said. I removed that on the grounds that there is no oldest language; all extant languages evolved gradually from earlier languages; e.g. Welsh from Proto-Brythonic, English from Old English, Romance languages from Latin, etc. Thus Welsh has no specific age. Okay?--Solomonfromfinland (discuss • contribs) 07:12, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I'd never thought too deeply before about what constitutes an "old" language, honestly. I can see how one might be uncomfortable with that phrase.  On the other hand, there seems to be something to it; perhaps there's another way to phrase a related thought.  True, all living languages evolve slowly over time.  Yet individual languages tend to have a traceable identity, and language extinction tends to be more of a discrete event — at least if you stand back from it a little (which you have to do anyway in order to say there is such a thing as a language at all, rather than thousands or millions of idiolects).  Basque is, in a sense, a very old language, though one doesn't have to put it that way (saying it's an isolate, not known to be related to any other language on Earth, will suffice). --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 13:30, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Cookbook:Cheese Sauce I

| Sauces

Cheese sauce is a variation of Béchamel Sauce.

Ingredients

 * 2½ tablespoons butter
 * 1½ tablespoons flour
 * 1 cup heavy whipping cream or ½ cup whole milk, hot
 * 1 cup cream cheese
 * ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
 * ⅓ cup grated mozzarella cheese
 * ½ teaspoon mustard (optional)
 * 1½–2 pinches of salt

Procedure

 * 1) Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the flour and whisk together over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, to make a white roux. Do not allow to brown. Remove from heat and allow to cool nearly to room temperature.
 * 2) Gradually add hot heavy whipping cream to the roux, whisking to combine. This will also work with a hot roux and room temperature heavy cream or milk.
 * 3) Add the salt, cheese, and mustard, then heat till just simmering and cheese has melted.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * If desired, you may bring the sauce to a boil; once the cheese sauce has come to a boil, lower the heat to low and very slowly simmer for about 45 minutes. Stir it every so often to avoid sticking to the bottom (a whisk is appropriate here).
 * Do not allow the sauce to brown.
 * The longer the sauce is simmered, the smoother it becomes due to the cooking and swelling of the starch grains.

User:Paddu/comments on Panic2k4

These are my comments that continue from Wikibooks talk:Arbitration/Panic2k4 vs. SBJohnny/Plaintiff Charges. I'm leaving them here after Panic threatened to make that page messier. -- Paddu 21:11, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Just a few hours ago (yesterday, as per UTC+5:30) I found that Panic had pasted the content I contributed to Programming:C plus plus Variables and Expressions (since renamed to C++ Programming/Variables and Expressions and deleted—) into C++ Programming/Variables without credit, instead of moving the page there. Now that the original page I contributed to is gone, there is a violation of my copyright under the GFDL since the page history showing my contribution is deleted and only available to admins. I have requested the deleting admin to undelete the page history and place a redirect to C++ Programming/Variables. -- Paddu 21:45, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This is the copytight infringing edit (no reference to where the text was pasted from, and no credits)—. -- Paddu 20:36, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

The following continues from my comments about Talk:Programming:C plus plus at Wikibooks talk:Arbitration/Panic2k4 vs. SBJohnny/Plaintiff Charges:
 * I tried to again restore the talk page to its normal chronological format in, again making sure Panic's rearranged info. isn't lost (since I treated that as his comment and didn't change it — nobody is supposed to change anybody else's comment, at least in the English Wikipedia). In that edit I also responded to a few of Panic's comments (including one where he seems to be derisive of "the female group"). I came down from my stand and made it clear that I will archive some of the discussions into subpages in the next few edits [archiving into subpages, not commenting out using , is the correct way to archive talk pages, at least in the English Wikipedia].
 * I was quite furious in my response to calling the "common programming errors" proposal dead since I'd proposed it only a month ago and was very sure I was going to implement it. I would've, except that I left the project after the fork and negligible admin action to avert/revert it.
 * After this it looks like the history of Talk:C++ Programming/Archives/Archive1 is actually the combined history of what used to be originally Talk:Programming:C plus plus and Talk:Programming:C plus plus/archive1. Hence though I'll be giving diff-links for single edits to one of the original pages, there might be intermediate versions in the current page history which are actually versions of the other original page.
 * I created a new "archive1" page shown in from some of the sections in Talk:Programming:C plus plus.  is the edit removing the archived sections — I also brought back some discussion that Panic had removed, and marked a few more sections for archival.
 * I created a new Talk:Programming:C plus plus/single page to archive the sections marked— and removed those from the main talk page—. Note the 2 sections marked "(continued)" in the diff—I was willing to discuss below Panic's P1/P2/etc. and put whatever he had enclosed in into subpages as archives.
 * is the next edit to the "archive1" page, just to clarify. [The text is removed from the main page in .]
 * is the next edit to the Talk:Programming:C plus plus/archive1 page, a minor formatting. These 2 versions are shown in with 1 intermediate version of Talk:Programming:C plus plus but the diff. page says "(27 intermediate revisions not shown.)". Dunno what's up. -- Paddu 19:03, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Next edit to main talk page—
 * Next archival— and —I thought it was better to have the discussions at one place instead of being split into "archive1" and the main page. May be I should have avoided this, so that all the P1/P2/etc. would have been on the main page and Panic might've been more satisfied.
 * I made a few more minor edits to the main talk page and then Panic had this to say— and (note the 3 hour deadline). My response was these edits— and.
 * Now Panic came up with the fork—. -- Paddu 19:33, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't have much time now so I'll give a shorter summary about other links I want to give
 * Dysprosia and I tried to oppose the fork but it was too late. Panic had forked an old version of the talk page too (without some of my replies, probably to make it look like as far as the forked book is concerned, his ideas are unopposed). I took the matter to the Staff Lounge but there was minimal response and no admin action to revert the fork in spite of Jimbo's mail about it. Ultimately I gave up and directed all edits to Panic's fork of the C++ book and his fork of the talk page. Here are some relevant edits:
 * These are my edits to Panic's fork Talk:Programming: C -/- -/- (the space in front of 'C' might be a deliberate attempt to make sure not many would visit his fork so he can have his say, but I'm not sure about this) of the talk page complaining of forking the talk page without my replies:, which were only reverted: , . His edit summary says "moved", but it only looks like he removed those and never put them anywhere. The page says archived discussions were to be kept in Talk:Programming: C -/- -/- (Archive) (why should he come up with his own convention of naming archive pages), but he didn't add my comments to that page, currently at Talk:C++ Programming/Conventions/Archive1. I added some myself— and.
 * has my edits to the fork's talk page inviting people to the Staff's Lounge discussion and alerting people that some replies to the comments here aren't present in the page, and also some discussion about Panic allegedly pasting copyrighted content into the book. I recall that some portions of Panic's contributions were similar to some of the text in the English Wikipedia; I had complained about this too at the Staff Lounge. Panic moved the tag I added and gave an ultimatum of 7 days to remove the tag.
 * I restored the tag I added earlier but Panic kept reverting. He violated the 3-revert rule followed in the English Wikipedia. I didn't want to do that so I left the C++ wikibook—.
 * Here are some other links that I might talk about later, or that people can dig through:
 * http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/contribution_tree?namespace=3&user=Paddu&dbname=enwikibooks_p
 * http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/contribution_tree?namespace=4&article=Wikibooks%3ABook_of_the_month%2FSeptember_2005_voting&user=Paddu&dbname=enwikibooks_p

 * http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/contribution_tree?namespace=1&article=Talk%3AProgramming%3AC_plus_plus%2Fproposals&user=Paddu&dbname=enwikibooks_p
 * If possible, I'll add mappings between the old name for each page referred to in my links (possibly all other old names too) to the current one. Basically I want to document the moves undergone by these pages. -- Paddu 20:31, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello Working,

Thank you for contributing to the Home Nursing chapter of the Adventist Youth Honors Answre Book. I was really hoping someone would write this one, as it is the only honor left in the Health and Science category that has not had any work done on it (until now). I am very excited that someone has adopted it! Perhaps this will be the first category that we complete.

If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a note, or ask at the Staff Lounge. Jim Thomas 02:15, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Ginny Weasley

Overview
Ginny Weasley's first romantic entanglement is an enthrallment with Harry Potter which visibly continues throughout the first four books. She remains unattached and taken with Harry until she hooks up with Michael Corner, a Ravenclaw student. That relationship ends in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, after Ginny breaks up with him and Michael shifts his attention to Cho Chang. Then Ginny begins dating Dean Thomas. She breaks up with Dean in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, finally winning the affection of the only boy she has ever loved, Harry. Unfortunately for Ginny, Harry ends their relationship to protect her from Voldemort at the end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. They continue to love each other, despite being separated, and Harry finds solace in studying the Marauder's Map to feel a connection to her at Hogwarts. They both take part in the final battle, after which we see that Harry plans that they will reunite. In the Epilogue, we learn that Harry and Ginny have reconciled, Harry has married Ginny and they have three children.

Philosophers' Stone
Ginny Weasley first sees Harry in King's Cross train station as Harry and the Weasley boys (Ron, Percy, and the twins) are preparing to leave for Hogwarts. Excited about being close to the famous Harry Potter, she demands to go over and see him, but her mother refuses to allow it. She is excited again when he returns from Hogwarts, ecstatically jumping up and down at the sight of him.

Chamber of Secrets
Ginny's enthrallment with Harry has grown, as she is uncharacteristically nervous and silent during Harry's stay at The Burrow. When Draco Malfoy insults Harry in Flourish and Blotts, Ginny leaps to his defence. At Hogwarts, she seems particularly emotionally fragile when Harry is nearby, although that may partially be from her manipulation by Tom Riddle's diary. On Valentine's Day, Professor Lockhart, in an ill-starred attempt to "cheer up" the school, hires a number of dwarfs to dress as "Cupids" and deliver love poems to students. One of these costumed dwarfs has a poem for Harry; Ginny's apparent embarrassment as she witnesses Harry receiving it strongly suggests she was the sender. We later learn that her embarrassment might be the result of her seeing that Harry has recovered Tom Riddle's diary. Shortly after this, Harry's dorm room is ransacked, and the diary is the only thing taken. As the diary is later seen in Ginny's possession, we have to believe she was the burglar.

Ginny gradually becomes more worried about the effect that Riddle's diary is having on her. It is perhaps worthy of note that it is Harry she tries unburdening herself to; unfortunately, Percy barges in, interrupting her. Finally, as Ginny lies near death in the Chamber of Secrets, Harry destroys Riddle's diary, restoring her life force, and, with assistance from Fawkes, rescues her. Once in Professor McGonagall's office, Harry tries to shield her from any disciplinary consequences of Tom Riddle's actions. In what remains of the book, she seems to be able to converse with Harry more normally, in contrast to the almost fearful way she had acted previously. In particular, on the Hogwarts Express she admits to having been worried that Harry would learn to communicate with the Diary. She had told the disembodied spirit of Tom Riddle of her feelings about Harry, and was horrified at the thought that Tom might pass these confidences on to Harry.

Prisoner of Azkaban
The rescue from the Chamber of Secrets changes the dynamic between Harry and Ginny. On meeting Harry again in The Leaky Cauldron, Ginny blushes thereby still confirming her feelings for him, and she seems to be self conscious about him having saved her life. However, over the coming days and school year, she becomes her normal self, and seems able to converse normally with Harry still. The effect the Dementor has on Harry in the Hogwarts Express, and the similar, though not as marked, effect it has on Ginny, may seem to provide some common ground between them. And by the book's end, she is no longer as overwhelmed by her feelings for Harry and more often acts herself in his presence.

Goblet of Fire
Ginny blushes on first seeing Harry when he arrives at the Burrow, indicating her feelings for him have not changed, though Ginny is still now less shy around Harry and is able to converse more naturally. She later shows subtle jealousy when she learns Harry had asked Cho Chang to the Yule Ball. When Ron suggests Ginny should attend the ball with Harry she appears disappointed, admitting that she had already accepted Neville's invitation. She seemingly remains unattached for the remainder of the book.

Order of the Phoenix
After the organizational meeting of what later becomes Dumbledore's Army, Hermione reveals that probably the only reason Michael Corner and his friends had shown up is because he was dating Ginny. Ron takes an instant dislike to Michael, says that he had thought Ginny was waiting for Harry, and asks how long that had been going on. Hermione says that while Ginny had earlier been waiting for Harry, she had given up on him. She had then met Michael at the Yule Ball, and had started going out with him. Harry, bemused by Cho Chang smiling at him, is not concentrating on the fact that Ginny has stopped waiting for him, but he does ask Hermione if that's why she is now talking to him; she had always been so repressed in his presence before. Hermione says that yes, it is. Hermione also says that Ron's anger at Michael is the reason that Ginny hadn't told him about it, she had known Ron would be over-protective, and didn't want to get into a fight.

Now freed of the burden of waiting for Harry, Ginny is able to form a friendship with Harry, one that becomes closer over the school year, and they develop more understanding of each other. In the battle of the department of mysteries, Ginny has her ankle broken and is rendered unconscious, whilst screaming in fear, causing Harry to be concerned for her.

Late in the year, when Gryffindor beats Ravenclaw in Quidditch, Michael Corner sulks about his house's loss and isn't happy that Ginny was the winning Seeker, after she had replaced Harry earlier in the year on the Gryffindor team. On the Hogwarts Express back to London, Ginny tells Ron and Harry that because of his sulking she had broken it off with with Michael, who was now seeing Cho. Ron is pleased by this news and suggests next time she should pick someone better, while hinting at that being Harry. Ginny then reveals she's started seeing Dean Thomas. This, of course, leaves Ron angry.

Half-Blood Prince
Ginny remains involved with Dean Thomas. Ron catches them kissing and is quite incensed at Dean's taking this liberty with his sister. Ginny accuses him of merely being jealous because he does not have anyone to snog with (kiss) himself.

Harry gradually realizes he is in love with Ginny and is jealous of Dean, but he keeps his emotions hidden, largely out of fear that his showing feelings for Ginny would damage his friendship with Ron. He spends most of the year fighting his feelings and himself over this matter, while wishing for Ginny to break up with Dean. In an initially unrelated incident, Harry takes some Felix Felicis potion prior to his meeting with Professor Slughorn. Hidden under his Invisibility Cloak, he accidentally knocks into Ginny in such a way that she thinks Dean deliberately shoved her; luckily (as is always the case with Felix Felicis), this finally prompts Ginny to break up with Dean.

During the Quidditch victory party, Harry, caught up in the excitement, seizes the opportunity to kiss Ginny in front of the entire Gryffindor Common room. They soon become lovers, laughing at how everyone is now talking about them. Ginny later admits him how she had never actually given up on him at all, never stopped loving him or hoping he might turn to her, and had always hoped they'd be together. She explains how Hermione helped her overcome her shyness around Harry, helping her to just be herself, because this could cause him to take more notice of her. It was because of Hermione's advice that Ginny had stopped waiting for Harry and started going out with Michael Corner. The couple's happiness is short-lived, however. After Dumbledore's funeral, Harry regretfully ends their relationship, telling Ginny that if Voldemort learns about their romance, he will use her to get to him, just as did with his godfather, Sirius Black. Ginny is devastated, but she accepts Harry's reasoning.

Deathly Hallows
While preparing for Bill and Fleur's wedding, Harry happens to let slip to Ginny that he has been given a mission that will end up with him killing Voldemort. Ginny is apparently taken aback by this, and does not seem to accept Harry's trying to turn it into a joke. She later shows jealousy over Fleur's little sister batting her eyes at Harry.

Although Harry has ended their relationship, Harry and Ginny are still deeply in love with each other, presumably forever. Because of this, Harry does not resist when Ginny gives him his "birthday present", a kiss unlike any Harry has received before. This upsets Ron, who knows how distraught Ginny was when Harry had ended their relationship a month before. Harry, aware that it was Ginny's idea, but unable to tell this to Ron and feeling guilty, simply says that it will not happen again. Because of this, their ongoing shared glances must be furtive, and on Harry's part at least, very quickly terminated.

When Ginny returns to Hogwarts at Neville's bidding, on Harry's return there, we do see she is obviously pleased when she sees him, as she welcomes him with a bright smile. She shows jealousy when she vetoes Cho Chang's offer to show Harry the Ravenclaw common room, instead volunteering Luna Lovegood for that job. On his way to meet Voldemort and his doom, Harry does pass Ginny and believes that she senses him despite his being hidden under his Invisibility Cloak. Ginny's scream of grief is afterwards the loudest of the shocked and distraught voices when she and the others see the seemingly dead body of Harry being carried in Hagrid's arms. When Harry has defeated Voldemort, she is one of the first people to reach him to celebrate his victory. After the celebrations have ended we see that she is leaning, exhausted, on her mother. Harry, evidently equally tired, does not want to bother her just yet, and thinks to himself that they will have "hours and days and maybe years in which to talk".

In the epilogue, we learn that Harry and Ginny have married and have three children, James Sirius, Albus Severus, and Lily Luna.

Notable Consequences
Ginny's announcement that she is going to the Yule Ball with Neville, when Ron suggests that she could go with Harry, causes a bit of a crisis for Harry; Harry must find someone to go to the Yule Ball with, as he is required to lead off the dancing, and his first choice, Cho Chang, has just turned him down. Ron, having been turned down both by his first choice (Fleur Delacour) and his second (Hermione), is equally in trouble. In desperation, Harry asks Parvati Patil, who accepts, and who suggests her sister Padma as a date for Ron.

At the end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Harry realizes that anyone he becomes close to is likely to become Voldemort's target. To protect Ginny, he reluctantly ends their relationship. While Ginny understands and accepts his reasoning, she seems to feel that there may be better ways to approach this problem.

In the epilogue of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, we see that with Ginny, Harry has finally found what he has wanted all his life: a family.

Analysis
We see that Ginny has set her heart on Harry; Ginny is apparently trying hard to get Harry interested in her as early as the second book in the series. Due to her and Harry's immaturity at that time, however, her initial attempt is doomed. Harry is not ready to welcome romantic entanglement from any quarter at this point. At twelve years old, Harry shares the young male disinterest in relationships, and at eleven years old, Ginny does not yet know how to ease into a relationship in a more mature way. By the time Harry is ready to consider a relationship, Ginny is already involved with someone else.

Ginny's attachment to both Michael Corner and Dean Thomas, however, seems rather less than it might be. Her attachment to Michael is slight enough that his being sulky after Ginny had won the Quidditch match from Ravenclaw was enough to end their relationship. The sulking does imply a certain lack of commitment on his part; one would have expected him to be happy in his girlfriend's victory, rather than sullen in his house's defeat. Perhaps it was because of that lack of attachment that Ginny dumped him. Dean was dumped because of his habit of helping her over and through obstacles that she didn't need help with, triggered by one final, accidental shove by Harry from under the Invisibility Cloak. Granted that the irritation is repeated, still it does seem as though it is a relatively small one, and one that could be dealt with if there was any real attachment there. Given that, in retrospect the reader does come to realize that Ginny hadn't really given up on Harry, and was likely simply marking time with the available others while watching to see if Harry takes notice or becomes available.

As mentioned repeatedly, Harry chooses to break off his relationship with Ginny, out of fear that Voldemort would attack Harry by attacking Ginny. A more mature viewer would say that a better way of securing Ginny's safety is to keep her by Harry's side. It was while they were separated that Voldemort used Sirius to lure Harry into a trap, for instance. If Harry and Ginny are physically close to each other, it is less likely that Voldemort would be able to deceive Harry as to what was happening with Ginny. On the other hand, due to the presence of the trace on underaged use of magic, Ginny's presence could give away their location, as they were in hiding and Ginny at the time was not yet of age. This point is not mentioned in the books, however, and so is presumably not part of Harry's reasoning.

Questions

 * 1) Why does Harry end his relationship with Ginny at the end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince?
 * 2) Did Ginny really forget about Harry at that point?
 * 3) When did they decide to get married?
 * 4) Why did Harry name his kids after people more important to him rather than Ginny?

Greater Picture
As mentioned, at the end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Harry shows his concern for Ginny's well-being by ending their relationship. He knows Voldemort often fells his victims by targeting their friends and loved ones, just as he did with Harry's godfather, Sirius Black. Ginny sees Harry's decision to end their relationship to protect her as being noble, but she also believes it is the incorrect way to handle the situation. It seems unlikely to the reader that their relationship has truly ended, despite Harry's saying it has; and as we find out in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Ginny clearly is not prepared to end the relationship, though she seems willing to put it on hold for a while. This is proven by her "birthday present" for Harry (a kiss like Harry has never had before), and also by their eventual marriage. For more information, see also the entry for Harry Potter.

Surprisingly, of the five close relationships portrayed in the series (Harry and Cho, Harry and Ginny, Ron and Lavender, Ron and Hermione, and Hermione and Viktor Krum), the relationship between Harry and Ginny at first glance would seem to be one of the least convincing. The reader does not feel the early-relationship urgency that is common to young lovers when they finally do get together, leaving some readers to wonder just how serious Harry and Ginny are. The same lack of urgency characterizes Harry and Cho's doomed relationship, foreshadowing the breakup late in Harry's fifth year; meanwhile, the physicality of the relationship between Ron and Lavender seems more in line with what we would expect from a couple of this age. It is possible that the author intends this lack of heat to indicate Ginny's "serene certainty" that she will get her man in the end, or it may be that the author believed that love scenes of the expected intensity would derail the main plotline of the book, or be seen as inappropriate in context.

Set against that, though, is the fact that Harry and Ginny's romantic entanglement, the longest running of all the relationships within the story arc, actually runs through the entirety of the seven-book series. We see the seeds of it planted from their first scene together at King's Cross Station in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. In some form and varying degree their subplot is featured throughout each following book in turn, though their greatest development doesn't come until later in the series when both characters are around their mid-teenage years. This would suggest the author is evolving the narrative with pace of the evolution for the characters themselves, and that both the story and the personalities involved must reach a certain maturity before they are ready to come to full fruition. It's interesting to note that this plot was given the most direct focus on the romantic aspects of the dynamic involved; this is something we often see lacking or underdeveloped in many of the other couples. This is especially true of the final two books where Ginny is used liberally throughout as both a love interest, and symbolic beacon of hope during Harry's darker times. They also have one of the more sexually based of the teenage relationships. The combination of the romantic aspect represented by Harry's seeing Ginny as a beacon of hope, and the sexual exemplified by Ginny's farewell kiss at the beginning of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows illustrates that this is a more adult oriented relationship than any of the other depictions. The shift from an immature and more sexually innocent romance with Cho, to a more sexually suggestive relationship with Ginny, is one of the key indicators in demonstrating Harry's journey from boy to man for the reader.

This romantic journey is vastly different in structure, execution, focus and narrative than that of Ron and Hermione, the other central and long running love story of the series. The contrasting styles of the two stories adds to the differing dynamics of the main trio of characters as individuals, thereby once again illustrating their differing approaches to emotional matters. Ultimately Harry and Ginny are about giving Harry someone he feels to be an equal on many levels, a person who can help bring his arc to a definitive conclusion. She is not only a friend and girlfriend; she is also a way to truly give Harry what he has yearned for, a real family. Not only will he gain a closer relationship with the Weasley family he will marry into, but he will be able to fulfill his dream of having his own core family unit.

We should note certain parallels between the beginning of Ginny's feelings for Harry, and Severus Snape's feelings for Lily Evans. Both characters developed those feelings as children, at about the same relative ages for each pair. As Harry and Ginny did, Severus and Lily cultivated a friendship that lasted their first five years at Hogwarts, with the additional difficulty that their Houses were competing with each other for school honours. The starkest of those parallels is in Severus Snape's love for Lily remaining unrequited, as he waited before and during his school years for his love to be returned. Yet, Ginny's own diligent wait before and during her school years was rewarded in having her love for Harry eventually reciprocated, and a future built from it. This is an even more poignant layer to add to Severus Snape's tragic love story.

While it is tempting to suggest parallels between Harry and Ginny, and the relationship between Harry's parents, what we see of their relationship would suggest James and Lily's relationship, in at least its initial stages, more closely matched that of Fred Weasley and Angelina Johnson.

Cookbook:Beef Fajitas

| American cuisine | Tex-Mex cuisine | Mexican cuisine

The original contributor of this recipe noted the following anecdote:"When I visited San Antonio, Texas, years ago, my cousin took me to the Texas Folklife Festival, where he introduced me to fajitas, telling me that they were originated by poor people who cut 'beef skirts' (skirt steak) across the grain to make this tough cut much more tender."

Marinade

 * ½ cup olive oil
 * ⅓ cup soy sauce
 * Juice of 2 limes
 * 1 tsp red pepper flakes
 * ½ tsp freshly-ground cumin
 * 4 green onions, chopped
 * 3 Tbsp dark brown sugar

Fajitas

 * 1 ea. (2.25 lb / 1 kg) inside skirt steak, cut into 3 equal pieces

 * 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
 * 4 small onions, wedged
 * 2 small red and green bell peppers, sliced

Serving

 * Tortillas
 * Salsa fresca
 * Chunky guacamole
 * Lime wedges

Procedure

 * 1) Combine olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, red pepper flakes, cumin, green onion, and brown sugar in a blender. Blend until smooth.
 * 2) Pour marinade into a gallon size zip-top plastic bag. Add skirt steak and seal, removing as much air as possible. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 24 hours or more.
 * 3) Remove steak from marinade and place down as close as possible to coals of a preheated charcoal grill. Cook one side until the internal temperature is 125°F (51°C). Flip and allow to cook until the internal temperature is at least 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part. These temperatures are enough to safely cook the meat, you may like it more well done.
 * 4) Remove and cover immediately, allowing at least 3 minutes to rest. You may wish to immediately wrap tightly with aluminum foil and remove to a low heat area of the grill or a low heat oven to keep ready for less-than-immediate use.
 * 5) Meanwhile, place a 9–10-inch (23–25 cm) cast-iron skillet down on the coals (or a stove).
 * 6) Once pan has heated, toss sliced peppers and onions with vegetable oil. Place in the skillet and cook for at least 2–3 minutes. They should be cooked to a moderately soft state on high heat with some browning evident. A small amount of water can be added, and the pan covered, to partially steam the vegetables if desired. Remove and keep warm.
 * 7) Slice steak as thinly as possible across the grain.
 * 8) Serve fajitas with tortillas, salsa, guacamole, and lime wedges (see notes).

Notes, tips, and variations

 * The onion and bell pepper are often mixed with the sliced meat in one dish and allowed to marinate together.
 * The tortillas and other ingredients are typically served on separate dishes.
 * For those who may not know, the eater is expected to assemble the various components of the dish as they prefer—there is no need for the cook to do further assembly. The tortillas are used as wrap for the other ingredients, topped with a squirt of lime juice, if desired.

Ada Programming/Mathematical calculations/Trigonometry

Trigonometry in Algebra is the study of triangles and how their measurements of different side and angles relate to each other.

Trigonometry is most well known for it's trigonometric functions, namely sin (sine), cos (cosine), and tan (tangent). They are used in relation to angles to discover the measurements of sides in right triangles.

$$Sin(x) = Opposite Side/Hypotenuse$$

$$Cos(x) = Adjacent Side/Hypotenuse$$

$$Tan(x) = Opposite Side/Adjacent Side$$ or $$sin(x)/cos(x)$$

Note: In trigonometric functions, x represents the measure of an angle (in degrees or radians) in relation to the sides of the right triangle in question.

Other trigonometric functions include csc (cosecant), sec (secant), and cot (cotangent). They are as follows:

$$Csc(x) = 1/sin(x)$$

$$Sec(x) = 1/cos(x)$$

$$Cot(x) = 1/tan(x)$$ or $$cos(x)/sin(x)$$

While these functions exist to determine the missing length of a side, they assume that the measure of the reference angle is known. If the measure of the sides of a triangle is known, then it is possible to discover the measure of a reference angle with the use of inverse trigonometric functions. They are as follows:

$$sin^{-1}(Opposite Side/Hypotenuse) = x$$

$$cos^{-1}(Adjacent Side/Hypotenuse) = x$$

$$tan^{-1}(Opposite Side/Adjacent Side) = x$$

Note: x is the measure of the reference angle in degrees or radians.

Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Cho Chang

Overview
Cho Chang is a pretty Ravenclaw student who is a year ahead of Harry Potter. She becomes his first serious crush, and although she also appears attracted to him, she has already begun dating Cedric Diggory, a student in Hufflepuff, by the time Harry asks her out. That relationship tragically ends with Cedric's death at the end of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

In the next book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix she begins a tentative relationship with Harry, although she is still grieving Cedric's death and is emotionally fragile. Their relationship endures several upsets, but finally ends after a dispute about Cho's friend, Marietta Edgecombe, who betrayed Dumbledore's Army. At the end of the book, Ginny reveals that Cho is now dating Michael Corner, Ginny Weasley's former boyfriend.

Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry becomes interested in Cho, who is a year older, when he sees her playing as Seeker for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team.

Goblet of Fire
Cho seems to reciprocate Harry's interest and patiently waits for him to make the first move. Harry finally works up the nerve to ask her to the Yule Ball, but she has already accepted an invitation from Cedric Diggory, although she seems to genuinely regret having to refuse Harry's invitation. Cho and Cedric are a couple for the remainder of the book, although occasionally, Cho may wistfully wonder what might have been with Harry. Cho and Cedric's relationship ends when he is murdered during the Third Task of the Triwizard Tournament by Wormtail at Voldemort's command. She shows a great amount of bereavement at Cedric's death as she silently cries during Dumbledore's speech at the end of the year feast.

Order of the Phoenix
Cho tries to connect with Harry several times, possibly to ask about Cedric's final minutes. The first time, on the Hogwarts Express, she is thwarted by Neville's Mimbulus Mimbletonia, which has just coated Harry's compartment with stinksap. The second time, she is driven away by Ron, who accuses her of supporting a particular Quidditch team only because it is trendy. Finally, the two meet in the Owlery, when Harry is sending a message to Sirius. Harry is heartened when she supports him over an unjust accusation by Filch.

When Hermione convinces Harry to secretly teach real Defence Against the Dark Arts to students, as opposed to the nonsense Professor Umbridge is offering, Harry is stunned by how many want to study with him, but is heartened, and chooses to continue the group, largely because it includes Cho. After the initial meeting of the group, later called Dumbledore's Army, in the Hog's Head, Cho seems to want to stay and have a word with Harry, but her friend is impatient to leave. Hermione then comments that Cho could scarcely take her eyes off Harry all the time she was there, and Harry suddenly realizes just how beautiful Hogsmeade is.

During Harry's classes in the Room of Requirement, Cho gets rather flustered whenever Harry is around, messing up a simple Disarming jinx three times in a row. In the last lesson before Christmas break, Harry finds that Dobby has decorated the room with streamers, bobbles, and mistletoe. He manages to get the more embarrassing decorations removed, but there are still streamers and some mistletoe up when class starts. After class, Cho remains behind to have a few words about Cedric; she manages to maneuver herself and Harry under the mistletoe, and they kiss. Harry, later, in conversation with Ron and Hermione, says that it was very wet, because she had been crying; Hermione says Cho does that often, and inquires about how Harry behaved. Harry's attempts to comfort Cho receives lukewarm approval from Hermione.

When there is a Hogsmeade weekend on 14 February, Cho drops a few hints. Harry finally clues in and invites her to go to Hogsmeade with him. She accepts, and suggests Madam Puddifoot's tea shop as a good place to spend some time. Harry takes Cho to Madam Puddifoot's, but then is extremely disconcerted to find that it is full of snogging couples, deeply entangled in each other, and particularly dismayed to find that the only open table is adjacent to one occupied by Roger Davies, a handsome Ravenclaw student cut from the same mold as Cedric. Harry's dismay and confusion is increased by Cho's revelation that Roger had earlier asked Cho out; we believe that Cho had mentioned this either to make Harry jealous, or to try to let Harry know that she felt he was better than Roger somehow, but it has the wrong effect, making Harry feel even more inadequate in the face of the competition he is getting for Cho's favours. In the face of this discomfort, and Cho's insistence that Harry tell her more about how Cedric died, Harry is less than tactful when he has to excuse himself for a promised meeting with Hermione. Cho, incensed, storms off.

Cho, hurt, then does not pay any attention to Harry at dinner, or over the next few days. Hermione tells Harry that he was a bit tactless, making it sound as if he was going from Cho to another girl. Harry wonders at this, and Hermione explains that he should have made it sound as though he was reluctant to go see Hermione, but he had promised, and he would really like Cho to come too... Harry doesn't understand why he has to insult Hermione to compliment Cho.

However, when the interview with Harry appears in The Quibbler, an apparently repentant Cho comes up to Harry in the hall as he leaves Transfiguration, tells him that the interview was a really brave thing for him to do, and kisses him on the cheek before hurrying away again.

Their reconciliation does not last long, however. The next meeting of Dumbledore's Army is rudely interrupted by Dobby, with news that Umbridge has been told about the DA and is sending the Inquisitorial Squad to capture its members. It turns out that Dumbledore's Army was betrayed by Marietta Edgecombe, Cho's friend. After Dumbledore's departure, the next time Harry and Cho meet, Cho attempts to defend Marietta's actions, and says that Hermione's placing a jinx on that piece of parchment they had signed was really sneaky; Harry responds that it was not sneaky, it was brilliant. Cho and Harry stalk off in their separate directions, and do not speak again in this book.

On the Hogwarts Express headed back to London, Ginny tells Harry that Cho was now going out with Michael Corner. Ron is amazed at this, as he had thought Ginny was going out with Michael. Ginny says that he was upset that Gryffindor had won the final Quidditch match over Ravenclaw, and got all sulky, so Ginny had ditched him and he had run off to comfort Cho. Harry finds that he is not at all upset by this revelation.

Half-Blood Prince
Cho's character does not play a significant part in this book. We see her in passing a few times, usually fleeing from Harry's presence as quickly as possible, but Harry is no longer interested in her; he has become interested in someone else.

Deathly Hallows
Cho returns to Hogwarts for the final battle against Voldemort after receiving a message from Neville Longbottom via the fake galleons Hermione charmed for Dumbledore's Army communications. She offers to take Harry to Ravenclaw Tower to show him a replica of Ravenclaw's lost diadem (a possible Horcrux) but is thwarted by Ginny Weasley, who volunteers Luna Lovegood in Cho's stead. Cho seems mildly disappointed by this.

Notable Consequences
Harry's relationship with Cho is his first real exploration of this sort of relationship, and features his first kiss, which no doubt will remain special to him despite being flavoured heavily with Cho's tears for Cedric. Luckily for him, it seems to have no lasting negative effect; Harry does not mourn his loss when she moves on.

Cho and Harry's relationship seems to show only that Harry is not yet really ready for a relationship, especially not one as demanding as this. However, it is preparation for his later relationships. For details on that, see Harry's Relationship article.

We are given no information whatsoever on Cho's relationship with Michael Corner. Our information shows Michael is either in Ginny Weasley's year, or more likely in Harry's year, so is two years, or more likely one year, younger than Cho. Whether this would indicate a general preference for younger boys on Cho's part is unknown.

Analysis
Cho's relationship with Cedric is quite normal, as far as we can tell; the two of them are going out together, enjoying each other's company, though Cho seems to be somewhat wistful on occasion that she had not chosen Harry. We should recall here that Harry, though not yet being portrayed as The Chosen One, has not yet fallen on the bad side of the Ministry; he is The Boy Who Lived, and additionally he has somehow been chosen as the second Hogwarts Champion in the Triwizard Tournament, making him something of a catch. It is a little curious that Cho feels about him romantically, given that he is a year younger than her; girls do mature more quickly than boys at that stage, so we would expect Cho to be interested in boys older than herself.

Her eventual relationship with Harry, though, is not a healthy one. She is not prepared to move on from Cedric's death, and throughout the year, she continues to mourn him. As late as Christmas, Hermione tells us Cho is always weeping. It seems that what she wants from Harry is more of Cedric. She keeps asking Harry about Cedric, about how he died; she seems to see Harry as a source of more information about Cedric, almost as a surrogate Cedric. Harry does not want to deal with this; he feels that he at least partially caused Cedric's death, and going over the circumstances surrounding that only make him feel that guilt more sharply. What Cho needs at this point is someone who will be able to help her move on past Cedric; and Harry is not able to do that for her. The breakup in early March comes as more of a relief to him than anything else.

Greater Picture
Why bring Cho into the story at all? The fact is that, as we enter the fourth book, Harry is maturing; he is getting to be of an age where boys start noticing girls (and vice versa). As such, it is important for him to have a love interest, but possibly it is too early for him to be connecting with Ginny, who is the girl he will eventually marry. At the risk of seeming coarse, the girl that Harry needs at this point, to keep our story moving ahead properly, is one who will put him off the whole idea of romance for a while, so that he will not get too distracted from his quest in the next few books. With the death of Cedric in Harry's presence, we have a ready-made candidate in Cedric's girlfriend. It is certain that at the age of sixteen, Cho will be unready to move on after Cedric's death; she will idolize her dead hero, and will want to try to keep his memory alive. Hermione very accurately limns the feelings Cho is having, after the Christmas meeting of Dumbledore's Army. Among other things, she still feels as though she might be disloyal to Cedric because she is going out with Harry. One thing Hermione does not mention, because Harry has not mentioned it to her, is Cho's continual pestering of Harry for details about Cedric. We can see that this is an attempt by Cho to stay close to Cedric, to learn more about him, perhaps as a way to offset the guilt she feels about going out with his competitor. Of course, Harry is deeply disturbed by this concentration on Cedric, in part because of his role in Cedric's death, and in part because he has always felt inadequate compared to Cedric. Cho's dwelling on Cedric and his abilities deems to be pointing up Harry's shortcomings, and the suggestion that there is still competition for Cho's affections, in the form of Roger Davies, disquiets Harry still further. Cho is thus ideally placed to be set aside after one final climactic spat, and Harry can move on with no regrets.

It is a point of interest to the student that Cho is being set up for this role as early as the middle of book 3. The author has clearly planned out the details of the plot line sufficiently by the middle of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to know that for narrative reasons, Harry will need a temporary love interest two years later, in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and expends the effort to create the necessary ground work for that love interest.

Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Natalie McDonald

Overview
Natalie McDonald is a Gryffindor who arrived at Hogwarts in Harry's fourth year.

Goblet of Fire
Natalie McDonald was Sorted into Gryffindor House.

Analysis
Natalie McDonald is the only real-world character to appear in the Harry Potter series. A family friend had written to ask what was going to happen in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, because Natalie, then 9 years old, was dying of leukemia and was not expected to survive the 11 months until the publication date. Due to a breakdown in communications, the author did not receive the request until the day after Natalie had passed. However, a friendship between the McDonald family and the author did result, and the author added this character to the book in Natalie's honor. (Story in Maclean's, 6 November 2000, by Brian Bethune, thanks to Accio Quote)

Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Imamat or Successorship After the Last Prophet of God

Imamat or Successorship After the Last Prophet of God
I don't believe there is any hope for this book to become truly NPOV. In nearly every sentence there are signs of muslim-POV ("great Prophet (SAS)", "Rationally speaking, It was necessary that by God's permission the Prophet (SAS) had appointed someone(...)", "No intelligent person can believe that the Omniscient, all-wise God has ordered people to obey transgressors, adulterers, homosexuals, wine-drinkers and those who forsake prayer and fasting are entitled to rule over the muslims.").

Again, Wikibooks is not for advocacy and books made only for muslims from muslim point of view should be move elsewhere. --Derbeth talk 08:29, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Weak delete I'd prefer to see an attempt to NPOV-ify this bok, but its religious assumption is so entrenched that such efforts might amount to a rewrite. How about putting up a NPOV banner on the page, contacting contributors and attempt to raise awareness among interested parties to see if it can be fixed. OK, there is little hope of success, but it would be nice to go out of our way a bit. You know; to show that we care.  --Swift 09:08, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that the contributors want to see it in current shape. And as for me... well, I do not care about such books. --Derbeth talk 10:12, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Have you asked them?
 * "I do not care about such books" Woha! Getting a little intolerant to certain subjects, are we?  --Swift 19:53, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unlike the book above, I do think that this book is irreparably the victim of a bad POV. This book is clearly about advocacy for a particular viewpoint. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 13:06, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't Delete. I will do my best to make it NPOV as possible, Ok? This document actually targets muslims. Most of the point of views are left to human intelligence and not a particular point of view: "No intelligent person can believe that the Omniscient, all-wise God has ordered people to obey transgressors, adulterers, homosexuals, wine-drinkers and those who forsake prayer and fasting are entitled to rule over the muslims." So we can not consider this as not being NPOV. For example, if one believes in God, then believes in a Merciful God, God cannot be Evil! Any Intelligent human knows that. But if you consider these facts as being in a particular point of view such as God being the Creator of Earth and Heavens, then There is a serious problem in the NPOV! Then NPOV means everyone has the right to tell anything, and we have ommited the human inteligence and reasoning here. We can write a statement and leave the reasoning for the reader to think. If you still think statements like the mentioned one, is not NPOV then I have to remove it from wikibooks, myself. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Believer (talk • contribs).
 * I understand your point, but your argument disregards people who are not muslim, and who do not think like muslims think. If I do not beleive the way you believe, then your statement implies that I am not intellegent. NPOV, by definition, should not mean different things to different groups of people, that it should not be biased for or against any disputable viewpoint. There is a difference in saying "Muslims believe that god is fantastic" and saying "If you don't believe that god is fantastic, you are stupid". Also, there is a difference between a book that explains the religion and tells facts about that religion, and a book that tries to convince people to accept that religion. Now, if you think you can make this satisfactorily NPOV, then I will vote to let you try. If it doesnt meet the general standards of NPOV (and i'm sorry to say that I dont think it will), then I am sorry but it must be deleted. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 00:59, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete -- The statement: "...if you consider these facts as being in a particular point of view such as God being the Creator of Earth and Heavens, then There is a serious problem in the NPOV!" leads me to believe that there will be no constructive way to re-do this book in it's current form, and it would be better to just start from scratch. (BTW: I'm not an atheist, but I do recognize that my non-atheism is in fact a POV. NPOV is neither "Numerically-(demographically)-signifigant Point Of View" nor "Not-your Point Of View". -- SB_Johnny | talk 14:08, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment -- User:Believer has been inactive since a few days after this nomination, so apparently will not be modifying this book. -- SB_Johnny | talk 14:13, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment. I agree, I only was hesitant because that user had promised to fix the problem. No user = no fix. This is a violation of policy, and needs to be deleted. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 23:19, 16 October 2006 (UTC)--Whiteknight (Discuss this) 23:19, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment Since the user in question isn't here, and doesnt appear to be returning, I would like to put an Impending Doom template on this book, and move to have it deleted within a week or so. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 21:44, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Marked per Whiteknight's comment -- Herby talk thyme 18:13, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep. I am strongly against deleting this page. I have only read the introduction so far, but that alone has explained to me better than anything before the difference in beliefs between Sunnites and Shiites. I agree that many parts are written with a strong point of view, but for me that means that we have to remedy that, and not delete it! I also disagree with the opinion that this is the original contributers job, as I think he has presumably already put some effort into formulating it neutrally. I for one will be working towards a more neutral form of the article, and hope to get some help from others here. Regards Sean Heron 14:03, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment If you are willing to work to fix this book, by all means try. It is definately better to fix bad material then to delete it outright. However, the point stands that the book--as it stands currently--is in violation of project policy, and if it is not fixed soon (by you or somebody else), it must be deleted. Good luck, if you are going to try. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 18:06, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. The page seems to have changed slightly recently but I'm in favour of keeping it. There are many books here with, in my opinion, a horrible bias but this book's not as bad as some.  Has potential. Xania 22:36, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment There has been no activity by this past week since he joined on the 16th and did some edits on Imamat. I have contacted him on his user page and asked about the future of this. I too liked the direction this was heading in but if it has already stalled, I'd say the potential has fallen again. --Swift 02:16, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Resumed
This has now had a month for an editor to work on and so is returned here for a decision

 * Comment Sadly no editing has taken place in this time so I suggest it can be closed quite quickly as delete unless there are fresh views -- Herby  talk thyme 13:20, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment My vote stands as before - keep. The book cites some of its sources and what's there makes for interesting reading.  Why the rush to delete everything in sight? Xania [[Image:Flag_of_Poland_2.svg|15px]]talk 13:56, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * A rush to delete things here is based upon the huge amount of cruft/POV we have accumulated by only a few years of laxity. If the contributor makes only minimal attempts to create the book, then appears to abandon it, and that book is POV or otherwise incompatible with WB in its current form, we shouldn't keep it around just because somebody somewhere might come and fix it. Kellen T 16:07, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete for me. The loss of the 10 lines written here will not harm anyone; the subject of who is the rightful heir to Mohammed has been covered in greater detail and with greater eloquence than what we've got. Kellen T 16:07, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment given this has been in VfD since mid September (only 2006 I grant you) how can this be called a "rush" even on Wikibooks? (you should be aware that some of my postings may contain humor ) -- Herby talk thyme 19:28, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Proposal for compromise. It seems that some would like this deleted for its lack of content, while others want it kept for its potential. All seem to agree that the version at nomination is unacceptable. Were it not for the policy violations, this page would have been kept since there exists no community consensus between deletionists and inclusionists. As a compromise, I suggest we put up a nice message at the top with something like:
 * This page was nominated for it's violation of Wikibooks' NPOV policy (see the discussion arcive for details). It narrowly survived after the offending content was blanked. Some useful material for future contributors may lie in the page history, but any work on this must adhere to NPOV or it will be deleted.
 * My vote still stands as delete, but this compromise would satisfy me. --Swift 06:46, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't think this is a very good idea -- we end up with a blank page and a POV history. There are no grounds for compromise here; the material violates NPOV, is extremely basic, and poorly written. We have two inactive users who want it and one active user who thinks it could possibly be turned into something useful eventually. Kellen T 08:31, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

 * "we end up with a blank page". Xania seems to disagree. The page ins't blank and what is there is interesting.
 * "the material violates NPOV". Do you think the present content violates NPOV? As you mentioned, the history is POV, but it contains seeds for future work and the state of the history is not a criteria for deletion.
 * I agree that it doesn't seem likely that or  are coming back to fix this. But another user has expressed the opinion that this book is currently a valuable stub. I don't see the need for it, but neither the gain in deleting it.
 * Could you please either explain why the current state of the article warrants its deletion, or why the past state should determine it's deletion? --Swift 09:08, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Support Kudos to you Swift, as I see the problem, this compromise will resolve the block to the deletion that is now only defended by User:Xania (since the parameters for the first poll were changed and this constitutes a new call for objections to a delete), this would solve the problem (no delete), but User:Xania could also agree in giving a more extensive timeout for the evolution of the work (some months) failing that, another VfD, if not we risk having a book that no one wants to take on and will remain stale forever. Any way the proposed tag will only leave to the interpretation of a future users what constitutes a good enough time/change to put it here again, we can address this by providing a new extended timeout... --Panic 08:12, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Xania would like to keep this book but isn't especially interested in it. If the majority here want it deleting then that's no problem.  I think our decision should be 'delete' or 'keep and anything in between is just wishy-washy. Xania [[Image:Flag_of_Poland_2.svg|15px]]talk 12:48, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks, Panic, but I don't think that any extensions should be given (I didn't even like the first one and think we should have voted keep and then revisited this a little later). This has been going on for far too long. I really think we can solve this by seeing the merit in each others arguments (of which neither side is void of) and compromising. --Swift 09:23, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Closing Rationale

I have reviewed these comments thoroughly. No work has been carried out on this since it was placed on hold (prior to that it was actually closed as delete and then re-opened by someone wanting to work on it). In practice the only current vote in favour of keeping is Xania's. Swift's compromise is very good indeed if a compromise were needed. However Kellen's view, Swift's restatement of delete and previous views such as Johnny's and Whiteknight's leave me quite happy with closing this as a delete. I will put it out of our misery shortly! I'm sure the topic will return in some form - at some stage in the future it would be good to think we could achieve a quality book in this field. This is not that book. -- Herby talk thyme 12:55, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Toki Pona

Toki Pona
Came across this one while wandering. Given past VfDs this looks like it might be a candidate as it is a constructed language. Equally it is pretty stubby and has been so for quite sometime. I am unsure but felt it could be listed -- Herby talk thyme 11:05, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep. Haven't the deleted ones been mostly unnoteworthy? This one has a Wikipedia article and seems to have a non-negligeable Internet presence. --Swift 12:33, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've heard of "Toki Pona" before, and even though I'm not as reliable a source as google, I tend to think that if it's come across my desk, that it must be at least minimally notable. If we ignore the idea of notability for a moment, are there any other reasons for deletion? I dont hink I can find any myself, but I haven't devoted alot of time to looking. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 02:55, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment IMO, this is all dependant on its stubbiness. This seems pretty dead, although there was one anonymous contributor to the whole book, there hasn't been any other active contributors for about a year. --Dragontamer 05:37, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

 * That was my issue as much as anything - one chapter completed a year ago and nothing more really? -- Herby talk thyme 08:16, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete the stub. If any new contributor came along to write this book they would have to spend less than 10 minutes replicating the material here. Kellen T 10:14, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Very Strong Keep --- at least as long as we don't have a stub deletion policy. The main problem in the past with constructed languages in the past here on Wikibooks was somebody trying to "invent" one here, using Wikibooks to advertise that new language.  It was deleted for reasons of original research, which this languages does not suffer from the same problems.  While this book certainly hasn't seen much progress, that is not justification to delete this book, and stubs are permitted on Wikibooks.  This is a pretty good outline as well, on the whole, and certainly the starting point for somebody else who might want to work on this book.  Deleting this book will waste far more disk space on the server farm than keeping this book here in its current state.  --Rob Horning 15:00, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep Not made up by the author so it is Wikibooks material unlike some recent languages we've seen. Xania [[Image:Flag_of_Poland_2.svg|15px]]talk 13:01, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

American Literature/20th Century/Jack London

Life
Jack London was born January 12, 1876, in San Francisco. He was a voracious reader as a child, borrowing book after book from the public library. By age 14 he left home and became a wanderer. He worked aboard a ship for awhile and also spent time hopping trains.

By continuing his childhood practice of reading library books, he educated himself and eventually enrolled at the University of California at Berkeley when he was 19 years old. He had already begun to write seriously and hoped to make a living at it.

During his travels London had adopted socialist views and in 1901 ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Oakland, California, as the Socialist Party candidate. He was writing steadily, producing numerous novels, short stories, and essays in a span of just a few years.

In 1910 he purchased a tract of land in Sonoma County, California, and poured his time and energy into his home there, which he named Beauty Ranch. In 1913 it was destroyed by a fire, and London discovered that he was in very bad health. His few remaining years were bleak, and he died on November 22, 1916.

Works

 * Selected novels
 * A Daughter of the Snows (1902)
 * The Call of the Wild (1903)

how to move a text up and down using keys
I have partially replied to your question here. --Panic 14:51, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Mano. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mano~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:24, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Cookbook talk:Basic Pizza Crust

Don't know if the person who created this recipe is looking but how much yeast in in your packages? I've had ones with 7g and others with 11g. Does it matter?

Yeast Measurement.
Rather than buy packets of yeast, i buy the 4 oz. jar of Fleischman's rapid rise. I updated the recipe, reducing the 5 cups flour to 3½. Also, i made careful adjustments to the steps need to mix the ingredients.

 * This dough formula profile is closer to what's known in the U.S. as Sicilian or Chicago deep dish style crust. Everyone has their own ideas of what tastes good, that said, had I chosen to alter the recipe, I would have increased the water, instead of decreased the flour.  Once the baker's % water had been increased, then a lower flour weight could be chosen, and grams and volumetric measures recalculated. With the decrease in the flour instead, flour relative amounts of all other ingredients increased.  I made up a quick table with baker's percentages to better explain, and the only change is the flour amount.  The red text shows the low value that could have been increased instead.

 * {| style="text-align:center;"

 * align="center"|
 * align="center" width=135|flour
 * align="center" width=135|flour
 * ||3.5 cups||5 cups
 * align="left"|water||54.17%||style=color:red;|37.92%
 * align="left"|dry yeast||5.49%||3.84%
 * align="left"| honey||9.60%||6.72%
 * align="left"| salt||1.37%||0.96%
 * align="left"| flour||100.00%||100.00%
 * align="left"| olive oil||12.34%||8.64%
 * ||182.97%||158.08%
 * }
 * Oil and dry yeast are high. Dry yeast is high in both, though if it was fresh yeast, it's perhaps only high in the 3.5 cup formula. Dry yeast is concentrated, and is different from "yeast," presumed as "fresh yeast" or "compressed yeast", dry yeast uses less than half the weight of fresh for equivalent fermentation times, and instant dry yeast even less. Salt is low in both, and honey is on the sweet and rich side in both. In the original formula, salt may have been decreased to speed fermentation, with sugar amounts high, osmotolerant yeast may be needed, so salt may have been decreased intentionally, and dry yeast increased, in order to compensate for a lack of osmotolerant yeast.

 * There are a lot of different pizza crust recipes or formulas, and they are generally distinct from each other. With the low water amount in the original recipe coupled with the large oil amount, I suspect this dough was originally intended as lining for a deep dish style crust (or perhaps it was a commercial formula designed to be pressed between the rollers of an expensive dough rolling machine).  That would be a different formula from a Neopolitan style, which is closer to NY style big slice.  What I'm trying to say is it might be a good idea for there to be more than one pizza dough formula for particular uses, and those uses elucidated in each recipe, rather than trying to make one "all purpose" pizza crust formula. If I was going to make a "basic" pizza crust formula, as the title of this article suggests, it would only have four ingredients: Flour, water, yeast, and salt, and that would be much like what is known in the U.S. as Neapolitan crust. From that basic formula, then other ingredients, such as oil, or sugar, could be added as variations. Gzuufy (discuss • contribs) 11:44, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Straight dough

 * To both of the questions below, you will find guidance in the straight dough article. Punch down is briefly explained with references for further reading, and to the question of when it's best to add fat, there are different ideas, once again, depending upon the usage. Broadly speaking, you can first mix the oil with the water, and then add flour, but that will result in a different crumb structure than if the water and flour are combined, and mixed for a time before adding the oil followed by more mixing (or kneading).  There is no one right way, but each way has different results. Gzuufy (discuss • contribs) 18:24, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Olive oil?
Why is there olve oil in th eingredients list, yet there is nothing in the instructions on when to add it, how to use it, etc?

Punch dough down?
What does 'punch dough down' mean? That's an unfamiliar culinary term that should be described - either here or via a link --Irrevenant (talk) 11:36, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
