The Once and Future King/Questing Beast

Once and Future King/The Sword in the Stone/Chapter 2
(The Questing Beast is also known as the Beast Glatisant) King Pellinore has been searching for the Questing Beast for 17 years. Only a Pellinore or his next of kin can catch it. There is only one Questing Beast. It "has the head of a serpent, ah, and the body of a libbard, the haunches of a lion, and he is footed like a hart. Wherever this beast goes he makes a noise in his belly as it had been the noise of thirty couple hounds question. Except when he is drinking, of course." -King Pellinore, Chapter 2. More information on the Questing Beast can be found in Chapter 16.

Wikibooks:Policies and guidelines/Vote/Deletion Policy

Please review the current version of the policy as proposed:

Wikibooks:Deletion policy

Introduction
The current deletion policy is mainly a collection of best practices by administrators on this project. As such, this has become a defacto policy, but it still hasn't recieved a formal vote by the community to become enforced policy. Because this does deal with the actual content of Wikibooks, and enforcement of practices by users (especially administrators) it is important that some sort of formal policy be adopted.

The current policy has been listed on Wikibooks for over two years, which should have generated most of comments about modifications to it for those who are interested. Still, experience shows that once a major move (like becoming an enforced policy) occurs there are many people who feel left out from the decision making process.

Feel free to also propose specific ammendments to this policy that might be beneficial to the community. This page, however, is not a substitute for Wikibooks talk:Deletion policy, where general discussion about this policy should still take place.

Key points
There are several key points to review with this policy:

 * Speedy Deletion Criteria
 * Some users are confused that administrators can remove content without even holding a vote for deletion. The justifications for removing content immediately are narrow and have proven useful to avoid clutter on the VfD page.    This policy explicitly covers what that criteria would be.
 * Copyright Violation Enforcement
 * This is the "official" policy for Wikibooks regarding copyright violation enforcement.
 * Administrator Ettiquette for Deletion
 * Goes over the dos and don'ts of administrator actions regarding the deletion of content. These are mainly guidelines to administrator behavior, but can be useful to point at when having a serious dispute with administrators or going before stewards and an arbitration board.

It is important to note that by making this enforced, it is not the final edit for this content. It can be ammended and changed in the future, through community concensus.

Votes

 * Only registered users with at least 20 edits can vote.
 * Vote ends at April, 15th 00:01 GMT
 * Add votes in the format  #~

Yes

 * 1) Brian Brondel 16:13, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Derbeth talk 19:53, 3 March 2006 (UTC) quite clear for me
 * 3) Matt 21:05, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Statics/Measurement and Units

In statics and mechanics, units can be expressed in terms of three basic dimensions: length, mass, and time. All other units are created from combinations of these three basic units.

Force can be considered a fourth basic unit. Known as a derived measurement, it comes from Newton's 2nd Law:

$$\ \ \!\mathrm{F} = \mathrm{m}\ \mathrm{a}\,\!$$

Here, force is defined as the amount of mass multiplied by the acceleration (length per second squared) that the mass achieves.

International System of Units (SI Units)
In the SI system of units, the three specified base units are the units of length, mass and time. A fourth unit, that of force, is derived from the base units.

 * The unit of length is the meter (m).
 * The unit of mass is the kilogram (kg).
 * The unit of time is the second (s).
 * The unit of force is the newton (N), where:

$$\ \!\mathrm{N} = 1\ \!\mathrm{kg}\ \frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{s}^2}\,\!$$

When working with units that are either large multiples or small fractions of these units, prefixes are often used in order to keep the numbers manageable. For example,

$$1000\ \!\mathrm{m} = 1\ \!\mathrm{km}$$

The following table gives a more detailed description of prefixes.

All other measurements are derived using variations of these four basic units and the listed prefixes.

Common SI units are listed in the following table.

British and American Customary Units
While the International System of units is in common use throughout much of the world, engineers may still encounter British or American units. Therefore, it is a good idea to have some familiarity with them.

While the basic units in International System of units are length, mass, and time--with the unit of force defined in terms of these--in the British and American units, the base units are length, force and time, with mass being defined in terms of these.

 * The unit of length is the foot (ft).
 * The unit of force is the pound (lb), which is occasionally called pound-force (lbf).
 * The unit of time is the second (s).

The unit of mass in British and American units is the slug. It is defined as the amount of mass accelerated at a rate of 1 ft/s^2 when 1 pound of force is applied.

$$1\ \!\mathrm{slug} = 1\ \!\mathrm{lb}_f\ \frac{\mathrm{ft}}{\mathrm{s}^2}$$

Occasionally, mass is described as a pound-mass. It is equal to the mass required to move one lb of weight when acted upon by the standard acceleration of gravity. On Earth, the standard acceleration of gravity is about 32.2 ft/s^2, this means that one slug is 32.2 lb(mass).

$$1\ \!\mathrm{slug} = 32.2\ \!\mathrm{lb_m}$$

Conversion from one System of Units to Another
While we can do all our calculations in one set of units or the other, as long as we are consistent, there are times we will want to convert from one system to the other.

 * Unit of Length  1 ft = 0.3048 m
 * Unit of Force   1 lb = 4.448 N
 * Unit of Mass    1 slug = 1 lb-s^2/ft = 14.59 kg

As mentioned earlier, the second is the same in both systems of units and so no conversion is required.

Common British and American Customary units and their SI equivalents are listed in the table below.

Example
According to the official National Hockey League rulebook, "The official size of the (hockey) rink shall be two hundred feet (200') long and eighty-five feet (85') wide." What are the dimensions in SI units?

Solution

 * From the above table:

 * $$ 1\ \mathrm{ft} = 0.3048\ \mathrm{m} $$

 * Using dimensional analysis we find the length and width in meters.

 * $$l\ =\ 200\ \mathrm{ft}\ \cdot\ \frac{0.3048\ \mathrm{m}}{1\ \mathrm{ft}} =\ 60.96\ \mathrm{m} $$

 * $$w\ =\ 85\ \mathrm{ft}\ \cdot\ \frac{0.3048\ \mathrm{m}}{1\ \mathrm{ft}} =\ 25.96\ \mathrm{m} $$

Significant Digits
When we talk about measurements and calculations, we need to understand the degree of accuracy involved.

The accuracy of our calculations cannot be more precise than the accuracy of our measurements.

Suppose we are provided with a distance to an accuracy of one decimal place, say 9.8 m. We are told an object travels this distance in 0.81 seconds. It does not make sense to say the object is traveling at a velocity of 12.11111111 m/s, that is, to eight decimal places.

This is because neither the distance nor the time taken to travel this distance is specified to this degree of precision. In fact, they are both specified to an accuracy of only two significant digits.

For reasons we will discuss shortly, we can say the object is traveling at a velocity of 12.1 m/s.

For many calculations in statics, we work to at most three significant digits.

Rules for Finding the Correct Number of Significant Digits
In general, when making a calculation, the answer can not have more significant digits than any of the numbers used in calculating it. The number of significant digits in an answer is equal to the minimum number of significant digits used in the calculation.

Here are rules that will help outline whether or not a digit is significant or not.

 * 1) Non-zero numbers are always significant.
 * 2) Zeros placed in between two other digits are significant.
 * 3) Zeros placed at the end of a number, after a decimal, are significant.

User talk:Buffyfan 5

Welcome to Wikibooks
I hope that you enjoy your experience here on Wikibooks. I'd like to introduce myself, as I am one of the project administrators here and was looking over some of the recent contributions to this project you have made.

A few places you might want to check out:

 * Staff Lounge - For general project-wide conversation, good, bad and ugly. Generally a civil tone prevails here, with new user questions (including FAQ type questions) welcome.
 * Policies and guidelines - Wikibooks specific policies. Note especially What is Wikibooks that is often cited as justifications to keep or remove content from Wikibooks.

At some point in the future the Wikibook that you have been working on, The Once and Future King should try and work on a standard way to name the content pages, especially with the new pages you have added. What you have done so far is just fine, but there does need to be some more editorial and content organization of that whole collection of Wikibook modules. The naming convention does not follow Naming policy, but this Wikibook falls under the grandfather clause as the naming convention existed prior to the adoption of that policy.

I seriously do want to welcome you here, and I hope that you have a positive experience on Wikibooks. It is a fun experience to be adding this content, and is very rewarding when you see some comments from readers or even see your work cited externally to Wikibooks. We are not as big as Wikipedia here, but we are growing at about the same rate at the moment. --Rob Horning 03:43, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Greek Mythology/Minor Gods/Erinyes

The Erinyes were three sisters of hideous shape: they had large claws on their hands and feet, snakes for hair, and large batlike wings; in addition, they were outfitted with scourges or whips. Their purpose was to pursue and torment all evildoers for the rest of their life, swooping down on them with their weapons and claws and tearing at their flesh. It didn't matter where the evildoers were; the Erinyes would inevitably come and find them.

Their names were Alecto, Tisiphone, and Megaera.

Orthopaedic Surgery/Pain States

Pain States

RSD has a number of synonyms, the most common one being the eponymn Sudeck's Dystrophy. Others are Algodystrophy and the current term of art; complex regional pain syndome, type 1, a prefered term in that it omits the implied etiology involving the sympathetic nervous system, historical personages, and pedantic usage. In English, the word semantic means "of or relating to meaning." In the science of linguistics, semantics is more explicit: It's the study of meaning based on the historical and psychological significance of words and terms. This greater specificity in defining our semantics is helpful when our therapeutic efforts are organized around a disease name instead of the preferred organization around a specific symptom or better still the influencing of a specific known pathophysiologic mechanism.

Whatever we choose to call the problem this remains a controversial area which touches on the nature of pain itself, and the more general philosophical question of mind body and the nature of perception. It is probably well that we imply nothing by our nomenclature rather than imply something erroneous or which unduly restricts the scope of the problem.

Consider the sentence "I can't help feeling this way." Now consider the sentence "The feeling of which you speak is painful". It is evident from this comparison of usage for the word "feeling", that the very language we use to describe pain or any other feeling for that matter leaves ambiguous the issue of the feeling as a tangible entity unto itself or more of an internal habit of mind. Can we hope to fruitfully delve into such matters in a scientific manner or will our inquiries inevitably lead to a reduction to absurdity by tracing feeling back to its neurophysiologic underpinnings.

It is unusual to find pain that is purely somatic in its manifestations. All pain involves a central response and all pain associated with disability will effect the person as a whole whose normal connection to their place in the world is altered by their incapacity. The perception of pain distorts all aspects of reality as interpreted by the individual. The sentient being who has conscious self awareness, who is conscious of their own mortality, this is the essential distinguishing characteristic of an intelligent life form and we tend to presume it is the defining characteristic of our humanity.

Pain inherently reminds us of mortality. Pain deprives us of the transcendent bliss of dwelling in the present. The present is denied to the individual in pain, and the future is likewise denied as each moment in pain seems an eternity. The past becomes the only escape and in the case of an individual who has been traumatized, this constraining quality of pain prevents recovery from the trauma. This is stated better by Emily Dickinson in poem 650.Dickinson

Complex regional pain syndrome,shoulder hand syndrome, causalgia, minor trauma dystrophy, pain dysfunction syndrome,nonspecific upper extremity pain syndrome, fibromyalgia, we create categories of pain associated syndromes each with unknown pathophysiologic mechanisms. They seem to represent discrete categories and at other times they appear to morph, or oscillate. Could it be that the apparent discrepancy between the manifestations of a patient's pain from one clinic visit to the next reflects such an oscillation between pain states. Do these pain states have differing neurophysiological bases?

Pain states have a protean character; they share this quality with other neuropathologies. There is a sort of quantum tendency to shift states of being in a way that belies the normal logic of classical anatomically based explanations. The quandry might be likened to the inadequacy of Newtonian mechanics failing to account for the behavior of subatomic particles prior to the development of quantum mechanics and relativity.

Similar difficulties are encountered in defining neurophysiologic correlates for Anesthesia and Analgesia as these too represent related states of consciousness, at the opposite spectrum in a sense from that of pain.

It is proposed that the management of pain in association with surgical recovery may predispose to a chronic pain experience. The presumption is that the ideal would be a zero pain experience. The acceptance that some level of pain will be experienced is a prerequisite  to consent for the present as completely pain free is infrequently the case for most surgical procedures. The afferent storm may be blunted. The afferents may go nowhere, hit the wall at consciousness unreceptive, they are is a sense forgotten if not unseen. So the effect of ideal anesthetic is one which dissociates recognition as adverse and harmful, detachment from reality without full loss of awareness, this would be Ketamine. Then there is the complete detachment to the point of sleep, changed respirations, often suppressing, then there is complete dissociation of brain control on the maintenance of physiology warranting complete control of respirations and blood pressure by pressors and ventilatory support. So anaesthesia is a variable proposition, depending upon what is being undertaken favoring the less is more approach, retaining a flexible response, or it could be more cookie cutter. The consistency of the anesthesia, the appropriateness to the level of expected pain in the immediate post operative period, these are challenges made better by the experience of the crew, their awareness and familiarity with similar cases. Much of this is undiscussed, relationship driven in some cases, it is helpful if the anesthesiologist knows his surgeon, and knows how to make him look good by getting the cocktail just right. Who can really know in advance how much pain they can take. So a patients prior experience with pain successful or otherwise would be well to know in advance of any procedure. A patient may have a pretty good idea of how much they can take. Others will recoil at the least amount of pain as if an old terror was awakened, the sight of a needle nearly qualifying as painful in itself.

While impossible to quantify one has a sense for what level of pain a person is experiencing. Competing scales include a one to ten verbal report, or a facial response scale. As a guide this is imperfect but it is just one more tool of communication. The human is ultimately deciding and interpreting. If pain is to be called a thing, it would consist of three parts. That which can be observed by facial expression and posture. That which can be observed on the basis of physiologic monitoring including pulse blood pressure and respirations. Thirdly that which can be ascertained by the patients utterances, or directed responses. How the patient says it and what is said may be considered but ideally the patient reporting 10/10 pain is taken at face value. Together these three observations are what we can empirically call pain. All the rest is what we ourselves have experienced, currently experience or can imagine. So we are all influenced by our personal knowledge of pain and our cultural acumen with regard to what humans are capable of experiencing and surviving. Do we have a generational or cultural bias that influences our responses, and our responses to pain in another. Do we react the same to a stoic or one who from their background, ethnicity sex, we expect may amplify their outward manifestation of pain, be more likely to verbalize it, One who is like us or unlike us. Since the human judgement is in the loop with regard to the response to pain, individually and as health care providers these questions are relevant. Empirically another view of pain might be that which can be observed via imaging. What does a brain look like that is in pain? What would the monitoring of the spinal cord tell us as to the intraoperative experience of pain. Is the spine also asleep when the brain is asleep?

One could imagine artificial intelligence being enlisted. A computer delivered data including facial recognition inputs, auditory tonal cues, and physiologic feeds. All of these brought together and the computer spits out a number corresponding to the patients pain score and advising the right response. How much? What form.

That being unavailable, the decision making is made between nurses and doctors, doctors ordering, adjusting their orders based on nursing observations. The role of the nurse in mediating this through the course of the night, is a separate battle ground. How acceptable is level of pain, how quickly are adjustments made,

The doctor and nurse and patient are all in three different places while these decisions are made. While this is understandable it begs the question of why this could not be alleviated by the ubiquitous availability of wifi based video conferencing. The nurse and doctor could quickly concur agreeing about how much pain a patient is in and whether to provide as much as might be demanded. The answer is that such a capacity would infringe upon privacy.

Ordering without video input or some other means, remote communication with the patient is a condition we accept to preserve privacy. How much video scrutiny of the pain experience would be acceptable and what amount would be a problematic, violation of privacy etc might be answered in advance, with none. None without permission. What tacit provision is already presumed. How frequently is a doctor currently called to the bedside to evaluate pain? Does this have as much to do with the relationship of the nurse and doctor. Certainly a doctor getting short or angry or not fully coherent might dissuade a nurse from calling. The nurse may not like speaking with the doctor. She has to rely on professionalism and duty to the patient to overcome that, or she may find a way to take more on herself, but this is severely limited.

Currently, how accessible is a doctor to a nurses call is determined by  how much love and hate, CYA, experience or other characteristics of the doctor nurse working relationship might influence the current decision making and treatment delivery train. The doctors pen, the nurses phone this is the point of the sword in cost of care. The more that is ordered the higher the cost. Are there cost considerations, between PCA vs intermittent dosing. How much autonomy can be exercised by a nurse, in recovery vs ICU vs the floor

There is currently no assent to such intrusion even though every other intrusion has been accepted, ones personal integrity put at risk giving every access to every orifice, but then there is the expectation of some privacy. The conditions in the post recovery state, how to deliver care and support while retaining privacy encouraging autonomy. Our present hospital rooms are static, hospital environments are compartmentalized, lounging areas, where autonomy is grown, patients rarely moving about unescorted, and hopefully not inappropriately so. Safety being paramount a hospital is a highly regulated environment in which privacy and personal autonomy is dictated. A matter of policy.

Privacy may be sacrificed to the purpose of recovery, such as a built in semipublic experience of a group therapy session. To what extent does this come into play. Will a patient in the course of recovery be amidst others also recovering. This could be good or bad of course, generally good though. A patient may not know how much they can take but they may be darn sure they can take as much as that schmuck. So attitudes, competitive or even prejudicial may become prorecovery. To what extent can a hospital provide a personalized response knowing what would be most helpful for a given patient. Lots of reassurance and presence, or more personal privacy with less interaction. There are formal and informal ways in which the patient may tailor the environment, doors, their own clothing rather than gowns, A recent bill board advertises the front opening robe they offer as an alternative to the back opening gown. All and all, if you ask patients they will say they want as much privacy as possible. Presumably, that may not be what is best for them. They may need lots of frequent interaction and prodding.

There may be other reasons for a particular choice of management, respiratory difficulties, orientation limitations very sensitive to the side effect of any analgesic resulting in disorientation, a detachment from the external accompanying the emancipation from the nociceptive reality. The storm of afferents warning of recent or impending injury. The fear of the possibility of life threatening or eternal disability. The fear that the present course was a bad one and things are never getting better, something wrong was done or is this normal. So over a particular period of time the afferent storm is interpreted and either amplified in significance or dismissed. This division is clear when two patients undergo the same operation one doing well and another poorly. How are they different, both middle aged men working at the same job same problem carpal tunnel syndrome. The surgeons can tell you with high reliability that one will do well and the other poorly. Their differing phases of recovery, one rapid and one slow. One dismissive of symptoms, focused on the improvements, optimistic that taking on more is good and not bad, ready to do the other hand sooner. The other patient taking too long to reach a state of capability, enabling a return to one handed duty, and ultimately undertaking the second operation never really getting pinned down to its state of improvement relative to its previous state of dis-ease. And slow to recover all the more after the second operation. The symptoms then becoming commodities like playing cards more than symptoms. More pain means lighter work. That is all that I need report. Then there is the question of whether the patient is consciously playing the cards or whether the brain is playing without the mind being aware. This may be the level at which psychiatric theory would be expected to work. To point out the disjunction. Analysis of the type of cognitive dissonance that may be involved. The social psychology of the recovery process is generally not formally addressed, but argely the domain of the work comp nurse. What factors of the patients overall life may be detrimental to recovery, which may need to be addressed proactively, in advance of surgery.

To make the person acknowledge that their brain is playing this zero sum game. Gaining advantage through the perpetuation of pain or disability and without consulting you. Psychiatry would suggest this autonomous layering whereby inner motivation and even happiness may be hostage to this disconnect. The extent to which behavior is determined by unconscious motivations is largely underestimated. In the case of patient B. The unpleasantness of the work environment, conflicts with coworkers, peers and well as superiors are all potential obstacles to recovery. Then there is a culture of entitlement. A correlation between the duration of recovery and the ultimate settlement. If it took a long time coming back then it must have been pretty bad and more compensation is due.

The person either owns the pain, or is controlled by it. All that is a stretch to even contemplate let alone make a difference with therapeutically, using conversation, mostly listening it may seem to some but observation as well. Reflecting back to the person who is opening up. Hard to standardize this process, it is as varied as there are individuals. In fact such interactions are also at large within every persons experience, in net work with family and friends and coworkers. The interaction of a patient in pain within himself may be determined by the expectations and encouragement of those around him. An atmosphere that is prorecovery, sometimes shaming into recovery as might be seen as a chiding yet supportive band or brothers helping you through. These factors must be enlisted in order to overcome what seem otherwise to be the forgone conclusion that the second patient will do poorly. Knowing this in advance and preparing for the difficulty, may hopefully result in a better than expected outcome.

Pain assessment on a chronic basis has a larger overall cost impact than does the management of acute pain. The question remains as to whether the latter influences the former. As with acute pain, the empirical description would be defined by one who takes medication to control pain. One who appears to avoid certain activities because they are painful. One who is weakened or dysfunctional due to pain. One who has atrophy of disuse or skin changes associated with maximal contact avoidance. Sweat pattern, and other vasomotor manifestation would also be included in the empirical description of chronic pain. So when is a patient who is still in pain to be encouraged or compelled to resume unrestricted work.

Is the pain being managed in a fashion compatible with work. Narcotics dependency is a handicap which cannot be accommodated safely in the work place, where the actions or inaction of one may lead to injury of another. So societal norms and obligations become central to the question of pain management in the chronic phase. What benefit has been agreed to. A job will be provided which I can do with no experience of pain. Is there a level of pain experienced on the job which is considered allowable. Are some jobs inherently associated with somatic pain. Pain that resolves, in which case how reliably and how fully? Is there a normative value that can be ascribed to an allowable standard for break in pain. Is it possible to adjust the pain threshold through conditioning. Does an employer have a right to expect fitness from a worker, sleep yes, nutritional balance maybe not. What of smoking? Currently no expectation that a worker will observe a program of strength or endurance training like an athlete. But when the patient is recovering from a procedure from a covered injury or malady is it appropriate that employer may expect diet and exercise compliance beyond the norm for an uninjured employee. At any given time what percentage of a corporate work force has an affliction under care? What percentage of the current and retired work force is in that category?

What is the usefulness of a pain log. This would consist of two daily entries. The morning entry would describe the events of the evening and night. The evening entry would describe the events of the day. The AM entry would include Pain, Restfulness and success of sleep, and evening emotive communication, anxiety, depression, TV watching, isolation. The evening entry would describe pain episodes or severity over the course of the day of pain. Secondly, the level of energy fatigue and stiffness over the course of the day. Thirdly, emotive communication, how much Driving, Sitting, Walking or other exercise. So with the benefit of a months log one might have the ability to make a comment about the persons chronic pain state. Such a detailed set of information even if imperfectly recorded could improve decision making with regard to intervention.

Problematic patterns in the log would include negative emotive communications in both AM and PM. No social interaction in the AM log. No positive feedback on performance or tangible accomplishment, jobs or tasks completed, High levels of financial anxiety. Lack of restful sleep. Any number of patterns may be noted and each might call for a different therapeutic response.

The hospital record is not unlike a series of ships logs. The rather uneventful observation of wind sea state and ships encountered. In the hospital record is reams of data regarding vital signs, laboratory data. There is the maintenance log which in the hospital record would be surgeries and procedures, separately dictated, entries concerning the planning for the preparation for the decision to proceed with one or another course of action, a change in course which in a ships log would be recorded in the smooth log. There is no directly corresponding document to a captains log. It is something held privately and only sourced in the event of calamity. So the medical record is largely tabular and smooth ships logs, and maintenance log. We generally do not have a similar document for outpatient and aftercare. The office record has features which mirror the hospital record, similarly bland entries regarding progress and how things are going. then in the smooth log the occasional untoward unexpected event. Again we see the suppression of any tendency to make a captains log. No running commentary of thoughts about a patient worries, conflicts. These are absent from the record largely out of concern for potential litigation. At the same time certain entries seem to anticipate the potential for negative scrutiny after the fact. So the chart over the last 40 years has changed quite a bit. The log on a ship is alive and well, still recommended practice and usually ignored.

The reason to maintain a log in each case is that there is danger, it is possible to lose ones way and something of value life or ship could be lost in the process. Both exist because a person is needing to get from point a to point b. No one is in the hospital for an adventure. For adventure travel the log becomes more a journal. On a passage it is about safety. Keeping a record allows for the noting of trends. Trends are empirical confirmation of improvement. Empirical confirmation conveyed to the patient is the stuff of psychological healing. The perpetuation of pain being linked to the expectation of a protracted or eternal pain experience, a known negative prognostic indicator when encountered and best met with objective verification of improvement.

I see the "stages" list at Blender 3D: Noob to Pro is slightly different than the one in this template. Is the Blender version better than the current template (and so we should update and improve this template)? Or is the Blender version worse than the current template (and so we should replace the version in the Blender book with a stages template reference)? --DavidCary (talk) 17:05, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

 * What is the extra icon supposed to mean? The explanation of it needs to be clearer (whether it's there or here).  It's being used sometimes by itself, sometimes in conjunction with one of the percent icons; so apparently it isn't being understood as "less than zero", although that's its position in the key.  I doubt that it's useful, but it's hard to judge until I know what it's supposed to be used for.  --Pi zero (talk) 17:46, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Plan Formulation Policy

 * "It is fundamental to the (USACE) planning process to investigate the full range of solutions to problems, and to develop comprehensive solutions to problems." Policy

Plan Formulation Methods
A Catalog of Potential Solutions to consider in formulating the composite plan has been developed by the Institute for Water Resources.

Plan Formulation Criteria

 * Completeness - "the extent to which an alternative plan provides and accounts for all necessary investments and other actions to ensure the realization of all planned effects."
 * Effectiveness - "the extent to which an alternative plan alleviates the specified problems and acheives the specified opportunities, as specified in the planning objectives."
 * Efficiency - "the extent to which an alternative plan is the most cost effective means of alleviating the specified problems and realizing the specified opportunities as established in the planning objectives, consistent with protecting the nation's environment."
 * Acceptability - "the workability and viability of the alternative plan with respect to acceptance by state and local entities and the public and compatibility with existing laws, regulations and public policies."

Plan Designations
This is a list of the types of plans identified in the federal (USA) legislation indicated Designations.

 * NED Plan - national economic development plan (P&G)
 * NER Plan - National ecosystem restoration plan
 * NED/NER Plan
 * LPP - locally preferred plan
 * LEDPA Plan - least environmentally damaging practicable alternative plan (US Clean Water Act)
 * Non-structural Plan (WRDA 86)
 * Reasonable & Prudent Alternative (ESA)
 * Environmentally Preferred Plan (NEPA)
 * No Action Plan (NEPA)

Plan Cost Allocation and Apportionment
The plan formulation includes the specification of "who implements what" and "who pays for what". The preferred USACE method of cost allocation is SCRB (separable cost-remaining benefits), adopted by interagency agreement (March, 1954) and reaffirmed by Water Resources Directory/U.S. Army Corps of Engineers/ER 1105-2-100. (SCRB Method) "Cost allocation is the process of equitably distributing project costs among the project purposes." of Definitions

Educational Technology Innovation and Impact/Why use Technology in Education/Interpersonal Intelligence

Interpersonal Intelligence

Gardner’s Definition: Interpersonal intelligence, (people smart) is understanding other people. It’s an ability we all need, but is at a premium if you are a teacher, clinician, salesperson, or a politician. Anybody who deals with other people has to be skilled in the interpersonal sphere. http://www.chariho.k12.ri.us/curriculum/MISmart/inter.htm People have the physical ability to exist individually and alone, we are also social animals who thrive and grow when involved with others. This ability to interact with others, understand them, and interpret their behaviour known as interpersonal intelligence. A well-developed interpersonal intelligence plays a substantial role in such success. From a psychological and neurological point of view, the connection between interpersonal intelligence and the brain has been explored for generations; damage the frontal lobe, as was once done in the case of lobotomy patients, and you damage that person's personality and her ability to interact well with others. Interpersonal intelligence allows us to affect others by understanding others; without it, we lose the ability to exist socially. It is recognised that those who have highly developed interpersonal intelligence are successful leader’s bosses. They been seen be strong public speakers and may follow a career as a Military Officers for example. Someone with strong interpersonal intelligence will probably have a lot of friends, they will show a great deal of empathy for other people and exhibit a deep understanding of other points of view. They love team activities of all kinds and are a good team member – tending to pull there “own weight” in a team task. Often found to sensitive to other people’s feelings and ideas. In a discussion are likely to be skilled at drawing others out in a discussion. People with strong interpersonal are also probably skilled in conflict resolution, mediation and finding a compromise when people are in radical opposition to each other. Martin Luther King, Franklin Roosevelt and Norman Schwartzkopf are famous examples of successful people with interpersonal intelligence. Characteristics include: •	People come to me for advice •	Prefer group sports •	Seek out people when I have a problem for advice •	Likes games like monopoly rather than solitaire •	Enjoy teaching others what I know •	Considers oneself to be a leader •	Enjoys crowds •	Rather be at a noisy party than stay at home

Cookbook:Tartar Sauce

| Sauces

This is a basic tartar sauce, suitable for fish and chips. The recipe is largely based on a trial and error recreation of one particular restaurant's tartar sauce and is not typical of most tartar sauces.

Ingredients

 * 10 ounces (280 g) mayonnaise
 * 2 ¼ ounces (65 ml) ketchup
 * 2 ounces (55 ml) mustard
 * 2 ounces (55 ml) sweet pickle relish or finely chopped sweet pickles
 * ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
 * ½ teaspoon celery salt

Procedure

 * 1) Place the mayonnaise in mixing bowl, and whip it until smooth.
 * 2) Mix in the other ingredients

Notes, tips, and variations

 * Pickle juice may be substituted for the relish if a completely smooth texture is desired (for example, if using sauce in a squeeze bottle).

MATLAB Programming/Psychtoolbox/How to achieve 10-bit color resolution on OS X

It may of interest to some in the group that I've achieved and measured 10-bit color resolution with the OSX PTB 1.0.6.

BACKGROUND At issue is whether 10-bit color resolution can be achieved with the OSX PTB 1.0.6 and video cards sporting 10-bit DACs. Even if the hardware supports 10-bit depth, it has remained unclear whether the software pipeline (video card drivers, OpenGL, PTB, etc.) would truncate double-precision Matlab pixel values at the 8-bit (256 colors) or 10-bit (1024 colors) level. Although 8-bit artifacts can sometimes be determined by visually inspecting the display, the best test is to take a photometer to the screen and make measurements. [NOTE: an even easier way is to send the video card outputs though a splitter and look at the voltages produced on an oscilloscope - ABM].

HARDWARE  Power Mac G5 Dual 2.7 GHz 4 GB DDR SDRAM ATI Radeon® X800 XT Mac Edition (has 10-bit DACs) Iiyama HM204DT "Vision Master 514" 22" color monitor Minolta LS-110 Hand-held Photometers + tripod
SOFTWARE

OSX 10.4.5

Matlab 7.0.4 for Mac

OSX Psychtoolbox 1.0.6

IMAGE-MATRIX VALUES VS. LUT VALUES
 Critically, as outlined by Mario Kleiner, 10-bit values with the PTB 1.0.6 can only be obtained by manipulating * values * inside the look-up table (LUT). To illustrate this point, suppose you want to display a 50%-contrast grating. The wrong way to do it is to define a 50%-contrast image matrix in Matlab:

127.5 * (1 + 0.5 * grating)

and display that image using a normalized LUT that spans the full 0.0 to 1.0 range of values. This inevitably result in less-than-10-bit quantization.

The right way (or at least the 10-bit way) to do it is to produce a nominally full-contrast grating:

127.5 * (1 + 1.0 * grating)

in the Matlab image matrix but display the image using a normalized LUT whose values only span the .25 to .75 range [NOTE: this would enable access a range defined by 9-bits ... for 10 bit range, the limits are 0.375 to 0.625 - ABM]. Unfortunately, LUTs in the PTB only have 256 slots, and so you must choose 256 values out of the 1024 available. This limitation can be problematic in cases where you need to display, say, a very low contrast pattern next to a very high contrast one.

MATLAB SCRIPT
 Here's the Matlab script I've used to measure luminance: % -- function Test10Bits

p.screenNumber = max(Screen('Screens')); AssertOpenGL; Screen('Preference', 'SkipSyncTests', 1);

masterGammaTable = ones(256, 3);

windowPtr = Screen('OpenWindow', p.screenNumber, 255, [], 32, 2); Screen('LoadNormalizedGammaTable', windowPtr, masterGammaTable);

Screen('FillRect', windowPtr, 0); Screen('Flip', windowPtr);

while 1==1 volts = input('Normalized Voltage Value (0-1): '); thisGammaTable = volts * masterGammaTable; Screen('LoadNormalizedGammaTable', windowPtr, thisGammaTable); end

Screen('CloseAll');

end % -- Valid entries into a normalized LUT are bounded between 0.0 and 1.0 inclusively. In a 8-bit system, the 0.0 to 1.0 range is divided in 256 possible values, each value corresponding to a 0.00392 increment over the previous value. In a 10-bit systems, the 0.0 to 1.0 range is divided in 1024 values, each value corresponding to a 0.00098 increment over the previous value. Therefore, if you step through the 0.0 to 1.0 range in increments of 0.001, a 10-bit system would increase luminance on every step whereas an 8-bit system would increase luminance on every fourth (sometimes third) step.

PHOTOMETER MEASUREMENTS
 Measurement precision varies depending on photometer setup. In my case, it was important to put the photometer on a tripod (rather than using it handheld) and set it to a long integration period to average out the noise and get reliable readings. Photometer precision also varies with the range of luminances being measured (e.g. my photometer goes from two to one decimal point when it goes above 100 cd/m^2 ). Long story short, continuous photometer readings jumped noticeably on every 0.001 LUT increment I tested, and this indicates that my display has 10-bit precision.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Stéphane

Talk:Understanding Darcs/Patch theory and conflicts

Notes from IRC
20:05 kowey: The current version of that stops right about where my understanding does. The merger/conflictor depedns on the othertwo conflicting patches yet cancels them out... somehow. And the patch resolving the conflict is made relative to.... this weird intermediate state that the merger/conflictor creates.

Notepad

 * Key insight about darcs - darcs thinks in a straight line, whereas human think in terms of graph dependencies. The graphs get projected on the line.   Useful for explaining for example, what the third resolution patch depends on. -- Kowey 16:50, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * There isn't really any difference between a dependency and a conflict... is there? Seems like a conflict is a just a dependency without nice contexts, but this is a very vague intuition -- Kowey 00:54, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

University of Alberta Guide/STAT/222/Formulas and Functions:Cumulative Distribution Functions

University of Alberta Guide > STAT > 222

The $$F_{X}(x) \rightarrow (cdf)\,$$, represents the probability that the value of a random variable $$X\,$$, regardless of its distribution, will be less than or equal to the value $$x\,$$ that is provided. For continuous random variables, $$F_{X}(0) = 0\,$$ because $$P(X = 0) = 0\,$$ for all continuous random variables. Therefore, all cumulative distribution functions will start at zero. Generally, $$F_{X}(x)\,$$ represents $$P(X \leq x)\,$$, however, if what is desired is $$P(X > x)\,$$ then $$1 - F_{X}(x)\,$$ would be used. CDF for an Exponential RV Notice that as $$x\,$$ increases, the probability nears closer and closer to one. This is because as $$x\,$$ increases, the area under the curve of the PDF becomes closer and closer to one.


text:
University of Alberta Guide/STAT/222/Formulas and Functions/Probability Density Functions

The probability density function, $$f_{X}(x)\,$$, represents the distribution of the random variable $$X\,$$. Wikipedia defines the PDF as a smoothed out version of the random variable's histogram of its distribution. Basically, the larger the value of $$f_{X}(x)\,$$ for a specific value $$x\,$$ means the more often that value $$x\,$$ will appear when choosing a random variable of its type of distribution.

The total area under the curve formed by $$f_{X}(x)\,$$ will always be one, since that total area represents the probability that the random variable $$X\,$$ will be a value.

PDF for an Exponential RV

One way to calculate the PDF is to differentiate its CDF, $$\frac{\delta}{\delta x}F_{X}(x) = f_{X}(x)\,$$

UK Constitution and Government/British Monarchs/Henry VII of England

Henry VII established the Tudor dynasty by defeating Richard III, a Yorkist, at the battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. During his reign, Henry had to overcome threats to the stability of the English throne. Several pretenders, perhaps most notably Perkin Warbeck and Lambert Simnel both wanted Henry removed from the throne, however Henry overcame these threats. Later, Henry passed many acts, for example acts against enclosure and the prohibition of Liveries.

Henry's son, Henry VIII succeeded him to the throne in 1509 following his death.

I saw you great file for making from wikibooks a nice pdf. Do you have a more clear description on how to do it? I'm rewriting the Kicad EDA book for myself and the project. I did it in first instance in LaTeX markup, but this was no success to converting it to other files.

Thanks in advice,

Jerry Jacobs from the netherlands

javalatex: usage and spanish
Hi, I downloaded your javalatex program and I have been trying to use it. Actually I can convert single files to latex format (it is great!!!), but I just have not been able to convert a whole book. ¿could you send me the instructions please (ogduartev at gmail.com).

I can not figure out how javalatex takes the whole book ¿does it read the mysql database? if it does, I suppose I have to configure the database host, name and password. ¿does it read the web server wher the wikimedia software runs? if it does, I supposse I have to configure the http address.

¿do you need any kind of help for an spanish realese? I could help...

thanks in advance for your answer

Oscar Duarte

Inactivity
So you're aware, you're up for removal of your adminship due to inactivity. The request will be placed at Meta in one month's time. Thanks for your service; you're welcome to request adminship again if you return to Wikibooks. — Mike.lifeguard | talk 21:48, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

PDFs from Wikibooks
I'm planning on converting a few Wikibooks to PDF files. What did you use to create the Spanish and the Cognitive Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience PDFs, as well as any others you have done? Theunixgeek (talk) 18:46, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

English in Use
Why do you propose changes in such a complicated way, why don't you just edit English in Use/Orthography? I mean this, I guess it was written by you. Tkorrovi (talk) 11:07, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
I know how hard finding references can be. That was a very nice text you found and I spent the day reading a bit of it. Even though I didn't necessarily agree about how this book related to the happiness book your doing really good work. So I just wanted to say well done. In fact maybe you should skip my first comment today at the RfD and see my second. Thenub314 (talk) 22:46, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

"Supplementary" sections in French book
I am a bit puzzled by the intention behind some of the supplementary sections in the French book. I can see how vocabulary could be optional, but I don't quite see how this applies to grammar. Were you thinking that the grammar sections you marked as supplementary had been included too early in the book, or perhaps should only be attempted by gifted students? I have seen books designed for mixed ability classes where this is done, but it would seem to make writing the book even more difficult than it is already. Recent Runes (talk) 21:51, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It's for things like content that would come up again later, content that readers would naturally pick up, or minutia of the language like uncommon verbs. Another use is repetition: a topic might be introduced in a supplementary section, used in example sentences over several lessons, then covered in a review section. --hagindaz 02:32, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, I guess that would work as an indication to the reader, but while we are writing the book I think it groups too many different cases together. e.g. if a topic only appears once like Demonstrative adjectives in French/Lessons/Description, Le faire causatif in French/Lessons/The_house or Geography prepositions in French/Lessons/Vacations but is marked as supplementary, what tells an author that it should be added to another lesson elsewhere in the book and not treated as "minutia" or something to be picked up naturally? Recent Runes (discuss • contribs) 22:18, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Ideally a well-developed set of lesson plans would be written so that lessons are consistent and work well together. --hagindaz 18:33, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, that would be nice to have and I think the Common European Framework could provide a suitable starting point. I have the reference books for levels A1 and A2, which give you inventories of grammar, vocabulary and phrase templates appropriate for each level, without specifying any detailed lesson plan. I am just starting to study these books, in conjunction with the British specifications for French at secondary school level, but it will probably take quite some time before I could produce anything that might qualify as a "well-developed set of lesson plans". In the meanwhile, I think it would be useful for you to justify particular "supplementary" labels in the talk pages of the lessons involved and/or in the "Supplementary / review" column of the overview table that I put together recently. Recent Runes (discuss • contribs) 22:12, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure; feel free to remove the labels as well. --hagindaz 16:49, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

PDF Generator
Hey, I read that you are trying to create PDF Version using Latex. I also do so for quite a while. I wrote a compiler that parses the mediawiki sourcetext into a parsetree and converts it into a latex sourcetext. I started on the german wikibooks only, and recently added some support for general mediawiki projects too. As a first demonstration of the technology I compiled the English book on Java programming this morning. The result is available here:

A Windows version of the compiler is freely available from sourceforge. You can play with it a bit. But please use only single pages and don't use whole books since the inclusion mechanism is not yet correct in the current release.

There are also much more elaborate examples for pdf versions of german wikibooks already: ,

Yours --Dirk Hünniger (discuss • contribs) 12:49, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Thanks, it looks good. I'll try it out. --hagindaz 16:33, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I finally managed to upload a new version of the generator. You can run it on whole books now. I also did one more book.

Now you can point the generator to either the Haskell book or the Java book and it will produce the pdfs linked above. I also ran it on This Quantum World/print version and it produces a quite good result, although I did not modify the wiki or the generator for that. SO happy LaTeXing Yours Dirk Hünniger (discuss • contribs) 06:54, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

I am overwriting you files
am overwriting the PDF versions you made. I am currently redoing many PDF versions on the English Wikibooks that causes me to overwrite many of your PDF versions. Yours are currently 8 years old and my ones are created with LaTeX. I will also send you and Email with that information --Dirk Hünniger (discuss • contribs) 15:12, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Useful tricks page for language authors
Hi I have talked to some of you about the need to better pool our resources and ideas about writing good foreign language wikibooks. I noticed that some information was available under Authoring Foreign Language Textbooks, but not so much on what kind of tricks you can use to make your book more interactive. So I added a page "Useful tricks to it and gave a description of some of the tricks I am using @ Dutch. Hopefully we can use the Useful tricks page and its discussion page for a better exchange of ideas. I still think we need a better venue for that, but it's a start.

French template
Hi Hagindaz,

I am trying to use the cool French template you made but I am unable to make it correctly. The wiki code is the same but then the output is different. I link you 2 examples. One from your code, another one from my page but your code pasted. I am very interested in dialogues since I want to create a multilanguage dialogue book. I am new to wikipedia but I am a fast learner and I can program. Any hint will be of great help. Thanks in advance.

New Wikibooks and especially New Wikibookians
I feel that it is incredibly disruptive to the effort of trying to create a new Wikibook to have suddenly a VfD slapped on you within hours of when you start the content. Generally this is done for reasons other than legitimate policy reasons to remove the content, and my experience is that they have a rather poor outcome as well. (i.e. a large majority of pages that have this occur survive the VfD anyway).

One Wikibook that I started writing myself had a VfD slapped on it and totally stopped the train of thought I had going into developing it in the first place. It also took over two weeks to fight the VfD, by which at that time the book fell off the bottom of the "New Wikibooks" list and stopped (IMHO) a bunch of people contributing to the book while it was at an early stage. It did survive the VfD, but I'm still sort of pissed at the user who threw up the VfD.

Books are very hard to write, and you are obviously not trying to write random gibberish or experimenting with writing in Wiki markup techniques (both reasons to delete content immediately). There are administrators (obviously) who don't agree with me on this point, and I've even had a row with Jimbo himself over this principle. When discussed objectively and rationally away from a specific page, however, it seems like a reasonable policy. If even content that is a blatant copyright violation is left for a couple of weeks, what real harm has occured? This is to first assume good faith, and try to work with the user to perhaps put content where it belongs.

Most recently I helped move a major effort to translate a medical textbook from English to Hatian Creole, and helped them to set up their own independent Wikisource project in Hatian Creole... up until now there was no original source material in that language. Had I started with a VfD and would have been confrontational instead of cooperative, this content would not have even been available for Wikimedia projects. And the translation is now available as GFDL'd text! (the original english version too, BTW). Instead I worked directly with the authors that were adding the content in the first place and made a few e-mail messages to try and explain policies calmly without trying to be too harsh. Unfortunately, that also takes quite a bit more time to do.

I hope your project works out, and BTW, Welcome to Wikibooks. I hope you find success with your ideas here. --Rob Horning 00:16, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikiversity
I saw your name on the Wikiversity participant's list, you may be very experienced in mathematics already, but I'm trying out instructing a Calculus course if you're interested, go to Wikiveristy, check out the mathematics department, pure mathematics, and in the course list is included Calculus. Fephisto 22:37, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Templates, etc.
There are no general template standards for Wikibooks, and from my experience the use of templates is actually increasing due to people with more maturity using the MediaWiki software are adding content on Wikibooks now. Perhaps the extent of the use of templates needs to be addressed, but there is no pressing need for that right now.

One standard you ought to consider is that any templates that are specific for a single Wikibook ought to use the "namespace" of that Wikibook as well. For example, a Wikibook named Being a Real Estate Agent would have a template named Template:Being a Real Estate Agent/Navigation or something similar. This is also followed, BTW, on Wikisource as well for similar kinds of projects or "books". Deletion or removal of templates of this nature is IMHO tantamount to vandalism unless you have the general concensus of the individuals who are organizing and writing the Wikibook, and the decision to use or not use a template in this nature is a personal preference or style. With Wikipedia being technically a single book, it could be argued to standardize things of that nature over there. Here it is just simply inappropriate to demand such rigid standardization.

Re: Title of your Wikibook. There is a small group that are hyper mergists of content here on Wikibooks, with a noted example of two different C++ programming books that were merged together (haphazardly) into one book instead. With this there is a tendancy to not go for flamboyant names like you suggested, but there is no policy about this nor is this (from my viewpoint) strictly necessary either. My own attitude on this is if you can find a title like this in a public library, you should be able to use a similar title here on Wikibooks for a book. In book publishing circles (not just here on Wikibooks) there is a tendancy to have simple names for books when possible, which is a significant difference if you compare historical titles of books from say the 18th Century and earlier, where book titles were very wordy. If you use a more "exotic" title, just be prepared to defend the title in the disucssion pages of the book, and somebody simply renaming a book  'cause it is awful sounding is a form of vandalism as well and unwelcome, particularly if they are not participating in the development of the content. Otherwise, be creative and have some fun here. --Rob Horning 17:45, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Redirects
There is no current redirect policy of any sort, although some redirects have been deleted recently. Doing page moves tends to create a whole bunch of redirects (MediaWiki software) and few of those are used much afterward, especially if it is a sub-module that was moved and all of the links have been adjusted within the Wikibook. Don't try to get into an edit war over redirects, but if you find a redirect being deleted, try to find out who removed it and attempt to work out a compromise with that admin. I personally think that too many are being deleted at the moment, but they are also very easy to recreate if necessary. --Rob Horning 12:21, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion
Hi. I deleted your "Being a Real Estate Agent" module. You sent it to Votes for deletion and wrote, "I've renamed this elsewhere. Back on Wikipedia, we would have just CSDed this, but here? No clue."

Yes, the book is a "candidate for speedy deletion". When you want to delete something, and it does not need a vote, use  instead of. You can learn more about deletions by reading Deletion policy. As it is, I have no clue about how to delete Wikipedia pages... --Kernigh 23:02, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Cabalism on Wikipedia
Karmafist, as Wikibooks does not allow either original research or propaganda, I have deleted this book, which I see is in its original stages. May I suggest you look at What is Wikibooks, as I am concerned that you have some misconceptions about this wiki. Hopefully you will find another home for it. If it would help, I am prepared either to email you the content of the deleted pages, or temporarily undelete them for a week to give you time to copy the text for your own records. Just leave a note on my talk page if this is the case. Kind regards, Jguk 22:50, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I'd like to note, for your sake, that if you think this decision to remove this content was in error, you are welcome to add a request to undelete this content here: Votes for undeletion

 * I happen to agree with Jguk on the reasons for deleting this content, but no person (or even a group of people) is necessarily correct. Any and all decisions by administrators do have avenues to appeal what occurs, and don't get intimidated by what is going on here.  You also have the opportunity to express your opinion on Staff lounge if you want to scream at the general Wikibooks community.  --Rob Horning 00:44, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I'd seen you around WikiP, and it's ironic that I've got to add this seeing the preceding two posts! OTOH, what the hell, I navigated here as I recognized the user name on R Hornings page. I guess you could say you've just been spammed below, but I suspect (and think I recollect) we have some similar takes on things.
 * I never got to my WikiWork today as I browsed through the staff lounge and saw a familiar theme from various wikipedia archives, this time, in time to make a timely contribution.
 * I'm also going to take the liberty of posting the link to your manifesto for these folks, as I'll probably sign on soon. Clearly something needs to be done. My thoughts are a bit less revolutionary, and more evolutionary, but the two are mutually reinforcing.  Fabartus//[[User talk:Fabartus]] 21:47, 8 April 2006 (UTC) (I wish I knew how to fix this sig here!)

Karmafist, I think that "Cabalism at Wikipedia" sounds like something you could start at http://meta.wikimedia.org, a wiki filled with meta content about Wikimedia projects, including pages critical of Wikipedia, such as my recent Enwikipediathink page. You might also want to read or edit Critical views of Wikipedia. --Kernigh 04:35, 9 April 2006 (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 Karmafist. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Karmafist~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.
