Protestantism

Welcome to the study of Protestantism
As you may or may not know, there are many flavors of Protestants Protestant_reformers. What you may not be aware of is that most people not associated with the Roman Catholics are, in fact, Protestants. This wiki serves to be just the briefest of overviews of Protestantism. And, depending on how you view church history, it can be very exciting -- with lots of twists and turns. Along with the varied twists and turns, there are many players such as the more popular Luther, Calvin and Zwingli, along with scores of lesser-knowns who each played their part in moving away from the perceived limitations of Roman Catholicism. What I hope to see here is sort of a "layperson's guide" to Protestantism, not a lot of lengthy discources or debates on the various theologies. I would like this to start with a short history of the church, then move into more of the regional history of Europe and finally into the various "flavors" themselves.

A short history of the Church
Arguably, the start was Johannes Gutenberg with his printing press attempting to get the gospel into the hands of the people in their own language. As we will see, other people came along with their ideas as to what Christianity means for the people. Some of the perceived limitations include the following:

Regional history of the Reformation
Some areas of Europe stayed Roman Catholic, some tried compromising and still more broke as far away as possible from the previous flavor. These splinters are where we get a lot of our various denominations today. Some of the other denominations formed as these earlier groups had widely differing views on biblical interpretation and the training/utilization of the laity.

The regional breakdown is as follows:
 * Scotland -- John Knox (1505-1572) John Knox
 * France -- John Calvin (July 10, 1509 – May 27, 1564) John_Calvin
 * England -- John Wycliffe, Henry VIII, continued by Elizabeth I
 * See Tudor Origins of the British Empire

 * Germany -- Martin Luther (November 10, 1483 – February 18, 1546)

If Protestantism were ice cream ....
It does not take much more than a casual observation to see that there are myriad "flavors" of Protestantism. Some groups seem to have centered around personalities. Others seem to have a certain view towards certain Scriptures. Still others found the limitations of previous "flavors" a little too insurmountable and chose to form their own flavor.

Traits of Protestantism
Created after Luther's "protest" against the Catholic Church, Protestantism has had plenty of time to diversify. While the term "Protestant" is of a historical nature (representing those religions which broke away from Catholicism, or which are descended from them), modern Protestantism tends to share certain traits.

One example is that most—if not all—protestant groups believe that man can have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ (as apposed to the Catholic notion of having a priest intercede on one's behalf). The doctrine of Sola Scriptura as introduced by Martin Luther is very common to most protestant denominations. Sola Scriptura represents a belief that the Bible is the only source for theological inquiry. Some Protestants interpret this to mean that the Bible is the inerrant word of God and the final authority on all theological matters, while others allow for less literal understandings of scripture while still looking to it as a theological norm. Once again, this was a push against the Roman Catholic notion of the Magisterium or Teaching Office of the Church, which relies on clerical interpretative authority in matters of doctrine.

Perhaps a list...
Here are some pages based upon specific doctrines (denominations) within Protestantism.

 * Adventist
 * Anabaptist - Amish, Brethren, Hutterite, Mennonite
 * Baptist
 * Religious Society Of Friends (Quakers)
 * Congregationalism
 * Lutheranism
 * Methodism
 * Pentecostalism
 * Presbyterianism
 * Puritans
 * Revivalism
 * Church of England
 * Evangelicalism - however, Evangelicalism is not strictly to be classed simply with the others on this list as there are people of many denominations who could describe themselves as Evangelical. (Note also that it is also not restricted merely to Protestantism: though this is the division of the church it is most commonly associated with, it is possible also to be a Roman Catholic Evangelical.)
 * New Thought Protestantism:
 * Christian Science
 * Unity School of Christianity

Military medicine

The term military medicine has a number of potential connotations. While in some cases it refers to the occupational health chapter of the profession of medical officers and other medical doctors employed in military units, the term may also refer to the entire set of competencies and professions linked to medical care in the military.

This course is designed to provide an introduction to military medicine to achieve competencies for the entry level of Military Medical practice. The introduction integrates aspects of Medical practice not expressed in civilian training programs such as functioning within a military health service, including in operational and disaster circumstances; military environmental health, operational epidemiology, medical aspects of nuclear, biological and chemical warfare; aviation, hyperbaric, and tropical medicine; and ethics of military medical practice.

Introduction
A medical specialty, specifically a branch of occupational medicine attending to the medical risks and needs (both preventive and interventional) of soldiers, sailors and other service members. This disparate arena has historically involved the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases (especially tropical diseases), and, in the 20th Century, the ergonomics and health effects of operating military-specific machines and equipment such as submarines, tanks, helicopters and airplanes. Undersea and aviation medicine can be understood as subspecialties of military medicine, or in any case originated as such. (The American Board of Medical Specialties does not, however, certify or recognize a specialty or subspecialty of “military medicine”.)

The planning and practice of the surgical management of mass battlefield casualties and the logistical and administrative considerations of establishing and operating combat support hospitals. This involves military medical hierarchies, especially the organization of structured medical command and administrative systems that interact with and support deployed combat units. (See Battlefield medicine.)

The administration and practice of health care for military service members and their dependents in non-deployed (peacetime) settings. This may (as in the United States) consist of a medical system paralleling all the medical specialties and sub-specialties that exist in the civilian sector. See also Veterans Health Administration for medical services given to US veterans.

Medical research and development specifically bearing upon problems of military medical interest. Historically, this encompasses all of the medical advances emerging from medical research efforts directed at addressing the problems encountered by deployed military forces (e.g., vaccines or drugs for soldiers, medical evacuation systems, drinking water chlorination, etc) many of which ultimately prove important beyond the purely military considerations that inspired them.

Lessons

 * /Dermatology/
 * /Hot weather environments/
 * /Cold weather environments/

Outline of Military Medicine
Military medicine is focused around health care support to military operations. This encompasses medicine that is before or after an operational deployment (such as care of the service member while in garrison) and medicine while deployed on expeditionary operations.

Many topics in military medicine overlap with civilian medicine and the field of military medicine is interdisciplinary. Most practitioners of military medicine are trained in the realm of civilian medicine first and then undergo training in the various military medicine centric topics.

Topics with a unique focus include:

Military Medicine Pre and Post Deployment

Recruit Medicine

Mobilization and Pre-Deployment Medicine

Military Medical Ethics

Rehabilitation Medicine

Military Occupational Health

Operational Military Medicine

Care of the Casualty
 * Tactical Combat Casualty Care
 * Field Trauma Management
 * Emergency War Surgery
 * Military Dermatology
 * Military Psychiatry

Environmental Medicine
 * Hot Environments
 * Cold Environments
 * Jungle Environments
 * Mountain Environments
 * Dive Medicine
 * Shipboard Medicine
 * Flight Medicine
 * Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear Environments

Medical Operations
 * Medical Operations Planning
 * Special Operations Medicine
 * Humanitarian Medicine
 * Disaster Medicine

Military Preventative Medicine

Talk:Protestantism

"..moving us away from traditionalism" - I'd like to see this page moving beyond making implicit judgements of other religions (such as, I presume, "traditionalism" referring to Catholicism). If this sentence said something like: "..moving away from the perceived limitations of Catholicism" (note, also dropping the "us"), then I think it would be setting a better precedent for discussing Protestantism and the thinking that provoked the Reformation. Note that on Wikiversity, while we will not be applying the concept of neutrality in the same way is done on Wikipedia (see w:WP:NPOV), we will still want to educate people in a broad sense, rather than 'limit' thinking (that's the best way I can put it for now) in the introduction to a subject. See Disclosures for more on this (even though it is not yet exactly comprehensive). Thanks. Cormaggio 18:13, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for acting on this so swiftly :-). I don't mean to barge in, and I really want to give you leeway in presenting your own materials - I just read that and thought, "hmm, maybe this needs a better intro.." Cormaggio 18:32, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Pages based on Religions
I'm adding links to pages based on some protestant religions, maybe someone else could add their knowledge in as well. Alex43223Talk 02:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

How far are we willing to go as a "versity"...
Should we include as much information as we can but section it off in such a way that it isn't overwhelming. To have a huge page on "Protestantism" would put people off. But if we had smaller pages including the same information, they would get more out of it. --StephenDeloney 21:14, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Modularity is good. Also, Wikiversity is not the place to write encyclopedia articles or books. --JWSchmidt 21:17, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Pre-Reformation Movements to be included?
Will there be courses in people like the Hussites? I am more than happy to contribute to that. AlistairReece 06:24, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Gutenberg?
Certainly as regards the Islands of the North Atlantic, the lollards played a major role in developing protestantism with out the benefit of a printing press.Harrypotter 23:07, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

This is a topic page, and should serve as a resource to help people find specific pages developed for a variety of educational approaches dealing with protestantism. Those who have specific ideas might do well to start pages such as A Laypersons Guide to Protestantism etc. Harrypotter 23:27, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

School:Gastronomy

Welcome to the Wikiversity School of Gastronomy

Gastronomy is the study of culture and food, with a particular focus on gourmet cuisine. It's a demanding multidisciplinary field of study examining food itself along with its context, presentation, nutrition and history. The underlying principle of gastronomy is that food is a science as well as an art form. It examines the sociological implications of food and integrates other social science disciplines such as anthropology, psychology and philosophy.

At the root of gastronomy is food. A gastronome examines the freshness, preparation, flavours and presentation of food. However, aspects such as cultural influences, science and history are also relevant to gastronomy. Gastronomy informs the culinary world, but not all cooks and chefs are gastronomes. Many prefer to concentrate only on the culinary aspects of gastronomy, producing food of excellent quality and flavour without delving into the scientific, cultural and historical implications of the food they serve.

This is a project intended to develop the art and science of Gastronomy.

Method of study
The courses of study in the School of Gastronomy have the potential, because of their subject matter, to be some of the most enjoyable on the web. The pedagogy of Wikiversity emphasises active involvement in learning and teaching and there can be few areas of life that are as enjoyable as actively exploring food and beverages.

Every department in the school has its own curriculum and structures its own programme of study, but all courses are made up of a series of Activity units. Each Activity unit, as its name suggests, is a set of activities in which students partake to enhance their subject knowledge and skills. Writers of course materials construct and test a number of assignments which use online materials as their basic sources. If suitable online materials do not exist, or are not readily available, then writers can produce them in Wikipedia, Wikibooks or Wikimedia.

The Activity unit templates may differ in detail for each department in the School of Gastronomy but their basis is the same in stating a number of objectives for the unit and suggesting a number of activities and assignments to help achieve the objectives. There are also suggestions for further development of knowledge and skills and encouragement to develop independent study, research and writing abilities.

Students and other writers are able, and encouraged, to provide feedback on any aspect of the courses by discussion on the talk pages of the project and making suggestions for modifications and enhancements. Anyone can thus contribute and become a writer of online teaching and learning materials.

Goals
The goals of the project are:

 * To introduce students to the various disciplines of gastronomy
 * To show students the basic classic and modern techniques, and theories of food production
 * To introduce students to various food cultures and cuisines
 * To introduce students to the work of the best professional chefs and teachers in the world of cooking

Courses

 * Cooking
 * Menu planning
 * Food Safety

Wikiversity talk:Deletions

Comments on section titled Deletions
This is new section, written by me. Your thoughts by creating a new section with your username as the title. What is under your username is under your full control. Edit/delete as you wish. Be very brief in another person's space, as they have permission to delete what you wrote.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 11:30, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Guy vandegrift
I am not quite happy with the section on Proposed deletion. For one thing, I don't know exactly what happens when the deadline for making changes passes.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 11:23, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Omphalographer

 * FYI, the delete template doesn't need to be substituted. prod needs  to insert the current date, but other deletion templates don't.
 * What would be nice would be if the prod template could be given a deletion reason as an argument, just like how delete can. I've been inserting reasons in  on some pages I've proposed for deletion, but having a way to make that visible on the page would be even better. Omphalographer (discuss • contribs) 21:50, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for catching my unnecessary use of  on undefined. Regarding the prod template, I suppose the purpose was to confine the conversation to the talk page.  It probably sounded like a good idea at the time:  The editors would thrash out their differences off Requests for Deletion.  The problem is that there is almost never more than one author that we deal with.

Voting
I don't know if this new section needs to be approved by the community (before retirement I was too busy to pay attention to rules, which is why WV was my favorite WMF wiki! Either way, feel free to vote or abstain. --Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 11:27, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * as person making the proposal--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 05:38, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Not opposed. I think "at the top" needs to be after an introduction paragraph, and the introduction paragraph needs to mention to see below for detailed explanations. Including above the content would be another or additional approach. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 15:22, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Seems simpler and I seriously doubt it causes problems. Sounds like a high-probability net good to me. Addemf (discuss • contribs) 19:59, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Proposed modifications
I proposed the following at https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Colloquium#Expanding_WV%3ADeletions_with_Moving_to_Draft_archive

 * "==Moving to Draft archive==
 * "A page that meets the criteria for deletion from the main resource namespace that was most likely created in good faith and is not blatant spam should be moved to the "Draft:" namespace instead of being deleted, unless an overriding rationale for deletion prevails such as the page being offensive, copyright violation, spam, and/or so forth. The rational for this is as follows. Not deleting Creating Commons Content created in good faith is fruitful to the Creative Commons as a whole, database storage is not reduced by deleting content, and there is generally no harm moving good faith content to the Draft: namespace. Additionally, whether someone created good faith Creative Commons content (related to teaching, learning, or research) to hone their writing and wiki editing skills, simply to plant the seed of an idea for others to build off of later, or so forth, moving such content to the "Draft:" namespace can give others an opportunity to develop the content later, use the content as food for thought that might spark new, useful, or novel ideas, and/or possibly another creative fruitful intellectual processes related to Creative Commons content creation not described here.

Also, I started Template:Draftify recently.

limitless peace Michael Ten (discuss • contribs) 17:33, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Great suggestion @Michael Ten. I've lightly revised the current guideline to more clearly incorporate moving content to the user or draft namespace as an option and added the draftify template (it could also be added to the nutshell). Perhaps, could you review and suggest any further, specific changes? I don't think I'd support going as far as requiring that pages be moved to draft, but I do think we should be highlighting this option. Perhaps also consider how the distinction between Pagemove announcement and draftify can be sharpened. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 05:50, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks. i was able to see your edits here i think. https://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Wikiversity%3ADeletions&diff=2611619&oldid=2605804 bless up. Michael Ten (discuss • contribs) 03:37, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I also support this proposal. From Wikiversity_talk:Drafts, it seems that User:Addemf also supports it. ( as you can see, our conversations are "all over the place"). If I count votes, I get 4 votes (Guy, Michael, Jtneill, and Addemf) all unofficially in support.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 23:06, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * We seem to have polling places all over Wikiversity on this motion. My latest "unofficial" tally is 3 votes in solidly favor (Guy, Michael, Jtneill) and 2 votes essentially in favor (Dan's is tentative and Addemf is relying on intuition)--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 15:24, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Wikiversity:Deletions

This deletion guideline explains when and why custodians may delete and restore resources or specific revisions of a resource. The deletion log allows anyone to track deletions and restorations at Wikiversity. Deletion removes access while keeping resources and their development histories intact. Access can be restored through undeletion. Deletions and undeletions are discussed at Requests for Deletion.

Speedy
Resources may be subject to speedy deletion when a good reason is given by adding. You may request community feedback, or object with or without explanation by removing the speedy deletion suggestion from the resource. Resources may not be subject to speedy deletion when a reasonable objection is made or is likely because participants may be able to learn how to implement concrete improvements when taught appropriate practices.

Criteria

A non-exhaustive list of possible reasons custodians may speedy delete resources include:

 * 1) No educational objectives or discussion in history. Welcome users and resources when likely to be expanded shortly.
 * 2) Solicitation for products, services, companies, events, people or other things with no educational merit or which generate direct financial benefit to the contributor.
 * 3) Copyright work which do not satisfy Wikimedia's Terms of Use.
 * 4) Resource moved to another project due to scope, or file uploaded to Wikimedia Commons with history intact and links fixed.
 * 5) Author request by an only contributor or only substantial contributor, or arising from an expressed consensus of contributors.
 * 6) Vandalism and user pages for vandalism-only accounts.
 * 7) Sandbox that tests the wiki software outside user space and Sandbox.
 * 8) Discussion about deleted resources where context is lost and becoming an independent resource is unlikely.
 * 9) Repost with no concrete improvements to merit keeping.
 * 10) Archaic redirect with no educational histories, no links, and either no appropriate targets or not likely to be searched for.
 * 11) Empty category with no notice suggesting the category may be occasionally empty.
 * 12) Unused file lacking either a license or a source may be deleted one week after uploader is notified.
 * 13) Reasonable maintenance task such as repairing cut-and-paste moves, and moving resources over a redirect.
 * 14) Serious ethical breach, where a resource standing undeleted may cause harm.

Proposed deletion (prod)
Resources may be eligible for proposed deletion when education objectives and learning outcomes are scarce, and objections to deletion are unlikely. You may add to the top of resources to propose deletion. A custodian may examine the resource after 90 days, and either delete the resource or remove the proposal. Anyone may object by removing the proposed deletion template from the resource, with or without an explanation on the resource's discussion page. Anyone still considering that the resource should be deleted may discuss deletion.

How to discuss
You should ask questions and discuss concerns with participants, make an effort to resolve problems yourself, and try alternatives as appropriate before suggesting deletion for resources with substantial development histories and contributions from multiple participants. You may ask for guidance and advice, explain what you have done or will do, and discuss options at Requests for deletion. Resources are generally kept when a community decision is inconclusive. Add rfd to the top of resources to draw attention to the discussion. As a courtesy, you may also notify any participants directly.

Be concise and specific when suggesting solutions, because the preferred outcome is one participants can learn from to implement concrete improvements. On occasion, deletion might be permissible when productivity from a fresh start is likely and concerns relate to Wikiversity's mission, scope, process, or policy in some way. If you can raise concerns not addressed by a previous discussion, you may begin a new discussion at Requests for Deletion. Reasonable requests for resources to be restored during discussion are honored, where possible. Please only participate if you are willing to keep an open mind and make an effort to improve resources.

Alternatives to deletion
Participants can often implement concrete improvements and develop resources further when taught appropriate practices. Possible alternatives to deletion include:

Anyone may boldly implement concrete improvements that reasonably encourages collaborative education, or discuss alternative solutions on a resource's discussion page.

Deletion templates
This section is still subject to approval by the community. Visit Wikiversity talk:Deletions to discuss. An effort is underway to provide visitors to Wikiversity with a more satisfying experience by removing resources from mainspace that cannot be directly used by teachers and instructors. Those who wish to volunteer may consider using the following templates:
 * for speedy deletion
 * for a proposed deletion
 * for a deletion request
 * informs the editors that their page or resource is likely to be moved to either draftspace or userspace. Wikiversity is a complex interaction between instructor teaching materials, student efforts, and even research.  There is a (growing?) consensus that mainspace focus on teaching resources.
 * for proposed moving to the Draft: namespace
 * for proposal for  moving under Draft:Archive/  (proposal is under construction)

Speedy deletion

 * Use  or

Use Speedy deletion for uncontroversial deletions. Placing   at the top of a page creates this banner:

The most common use of Speedy deletion is for pages written by a single author and which include copyright violations, pseudoscientific claims, inappropriate language, advertisements, or slander or other efforts to harass living persons.

Anything that potentially causes harm should be immediately deleted, and Speedy deletion is the fastest way to nominate a page for removal. But a speedy deletion is also the most time-consuming to revert (if the resource actually gets deleted). A good rule of thumb is never to speedy delete a resource that might be salvable or has had active edits in the past three years. Also, hesitate before you speedy delete a project or a large number of subpages, as reverting such deletions can be extremely time-consuming.

Proposed deletion

 * Uses

Proposed deletion (or "prod") is for pages that may or may not belong in mainspace. It creates allows editors to debate the deletion on the talk page and ponder other options such as moving to the user or draft namespace. Prod draws attention and can result in an effort to improve the resource. Prod places the discussion about whether to delete on the talk page. Prod's greatest disadvantage is it causes projects to remain in mainspace until the question is resolved. A simple remedy for this is to move the project into user or draft space until an outcome has been decided. Custodians can move a resource with up to 100 subpages. To understand how proud works, suppose that on January 1, 2000 you placed  at the top of a page to create this banner:

Link to any subpages this page might have

Note that the deadline for improving the page is 90 days after the template was inserted. This gives editors time to improve the page or defend its virtues.

IMPORTANT: The proper venue for all discussions is the talk page of the article under consideration.

Deletion request

 * Uses

Use Deletion request if you think a developed page should be deleted or if the topic is complicated in some way. Begin by placing   at the top of the page to create:

Link to any subpages this page might have

Click the words share your thoughts in the box. This will lead to a page called Requests for Deletion. Follow the instructions for starting a discussion.

Pagemove announcement
The advantage of moving material into the users or draft namespace is that less time is spent discussing and more time cleaning up. Wikiversity has a limited staff of volunteers, and the quicker decisions are made, the more that can be done. There is a lot of work to do and the work is important. Too many obscure pages in mainspace degrades gives others a bad impression of Wikiversity. On the other hand, people should be encouraged write on Wikiversity about all sorts of topics. The goal is to separate materials recommend for teachers and learners from the discovery, research, and introspection done by Wikiversity users.
 * Uses

A procedure and guidelines for moving mainspace resources into user and draft space is under construction.

  is used to communicate with all the page's main authors' talk pages and looks like this:

To Somebody's username:

The project  Some page  has been moved to  User:Somebody's username/Some page

A tentative decision has been made to remove this project from mainspace. If this move is not under discussion at Requests for Deletion, you may make a request regarding this project at Request custodian action.

User talk:Tarun~enwikiversity

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 Tarun. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tarun~enwikiversity 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 23:45, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Electric Circuit Analysis/Kirchhoff's Current Law

The illustration for the sum of currents entering a node actually shows two of the currents exiting the node. Probably pretty confusing to a new student... Robhingle 01:20, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Were you able to find a better image and update the page that would be great--a true demonstration of wiki spirit. --RobertLutz 17:05, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Many students find it easier to think of it in terms of "The current entering a node must equal the current leaving a node" at first. It may be prudent to point out that a positive current value is current entering the node, while a negative value is current leaving the node. Specifically using this notation can help with consistency, and to help students better understand the answers they get when first practicing problems.

Talk:Introduction to Wikiversity scholarship

It's nice that the emphasis here is not on legal methods to curb copyright infringement but on social ones. (Sam 01:23, 12 September 2006 (UTC))

 * Yes, I cringed when I saw that. Plagarism and copyright violation are seperate things; each can occur without the other.--AdamG 19:42, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Any objections to putting "Dishonest" in instead of illegal (not everywhere, obviously, but where it would make sense)? As I see it, there are dual constraints on added content: Copyright law, and Academic honesty. The limitations imposed by copyright law should probably be focused on in a "Copyrights" page or the like, while this page (seems to me, anyway) would do best to focus on the procedures for ensuring honesty in Wikiversity's work. --AdamG 19:47, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed. And the chart confuses plagiarism with copyright violation; they're not the same thing.  The Jade Knight 02:21, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Portal talk:Fine Arts

Inclusion of other Textile Arts?
Surface Design, maybe... or perhaps these should go in Visual Arts as it is sometimes a little more scholarly. There is more to it than Yarn Works and Weaving. Dyeing, printing, and other techniques are part of the Textile Arts. They could also go under sculpture sometimes, but there should be a place for them in Visual Arts along with Painting, Drawing, Ceramics, as well as Printmaking/Book Arts and such. Maybe you should have Textile/Fabric Arts as a section rather than just naming two of them.

Division of Art Crafts?
I wonder about the name Division of Art Crafts. I would like to suggest a rename: perhaps 'Division of Arts and Crafts' (but that's a bit too Morris-esque maybe) or 'Division of Craft Arts'. Does anyone else think the current name sounds almost ungrammatical? (Sam 01:34, 12 September 2006 (UTC))

 * I agree with Sam that "Craft Arts" sounds much better than "Art Crafts."

 * I've changed it, and will come and add some content there soon. —Sam 01:23, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Portal?
A portal cannot be a subdivision of a school. Schools are subdivisions of the portals. So, please decide, is this a school within Portal:Humanities, or a portal of its own, with its own schools? --George D. Bozovic talk 12:04, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * There can be Wikiversity portal pages for many purposes. A subject area such as "Fine Arts" can certainly have its own portal. If "Fine Arts" is a division of the School of Art and Design then the page named Topic:Fine Arts should be changed from a redirect page to a page that starts with . Wikiversity portals should quickly connect browsers of Wikiversity to learning resources. "Topic:" pages are special Wikiversity projects for the development of Wikiversity content. --JWSchmidt 16:40, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
 * This is very confusing. As I understood naming conventions policy, there are only several portals (Portal: namespace), and they contain schools (School: namespace), which then contain topics (Topic: namespace) and lessons (Main namespace). I don't know... I am obviously not smart enough. This is way too complicated. :) Are you saying that there should exist Topic:Fine Arts within School of Arts and Design, and not Portal:Fine Arts? Or that Portals are generally allowed for more purposes than I thought, and that this is fine? --George D. Bozovic talk 17:14, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

"This is way too complicated" <-- The system is not complex. It is a little different from the system at Wikipedia."As I understood naming conventions policy" <-- I think two key things to pay attention to are The flexibility of Portal s and Namespaces. "there are only several portals" <-- This is true, but it does not mean that the existing major portals are meant to be the only Wikiversity portals. Any Wikiversity category of learning resources can have an associated portal. "there are only several portals ... they contain schools" <-- The major Wikiversity portals can point to the Wikiversity schools for a broad subject area. Eventually, portals should quickly quide Wikiversity browsers to learning resources in the main namespace. Right now, Wikiversity has almost no real content, so the major portals mainly point to pages in the "School:" and "Topic:" namespaces. These school and topic pages are "meta pages", pages for organizing the activity of Wikiversity editors who are trying to create learning resources. For people who are familiar with Wikipedia, I suggest that you think of "School:" and "Topic:" pages as Wikiversity content development projects like the Wikipedia "WikiProjects".--JWSchmidt 01:27, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

PORTALS then SCHOOLS then DEPARTMENTS then LESSONS

 * Definition of Portal
 * I believe that I agree with George D. Bozovic. A portal is the main access point.

 * Currently, Fine Arts is defined as a PORTAL (Portal:Fine Arts) on the Wikiversity main page. That's OK by me!!!

 * Organization for Institute of Film and Television

 * Then, I think under Portals should be Schools (Namely, SCHOOL: Institute of Film and Television). And under Schools should be Departments or (Topics then Departments).  And under Departments should be Lessons which are grouped in Courses (or Streams).

 * Therefore, I believe that the use of "TOPIC" is incorrect on this page. Example:  The Institute of Film and Television (Film and Television) should NOT be a TOPIC (as it currently is) but rather, it should be a SCHOOL.  (Topic or Departments should be used for the items under Film and Television.)

I am trying to organize the Film and Television pages so it would be nice to decide this soon. Robert Elliott 03:03, 26 September 2006 (UTC) .
 * We are trying to use the term "school" in the way that the Wikiversity community started using it on this Wikibooks page. Nobody is saying that every area of study that should be called a school was on the list of schools at Wikibooks or is already on the current list. However, we are trying to avoid having schools inside of other schools. If "Fine Arts" is going to be a Division of The School of Art and Design then we should not create additional schools within the Division of Fine Arts (see Naming conventions). Film and Television can be sub-division of Division of Fine Arts. --JWSchmidt 04:04, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

 * As I understood (I think I did :)), portals do contain schools, but also some learning topics and projects can have their portals, which then do not contain schools, but are just a helpful place for better organization. The difference is also in category - Category:Portal vs. Category:Wikiversity portals, the latter being a sort of a "faculty" or "institute", etc. which connects several related schools, and the first one being just a portal as it is on Wikipedia. So, in this case these subdivisions schould be in Topic: namespace, not School: namespace, since they all are part of the School of Art and Design, which is a part of the Faculty for Humanities. The Fine Arts portal is just a common portal, like in Wikipedia. :) Am I right? --George D. Bozovic talk 15:21, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, there are different "types" of portals. Wikiversity has a short list of major portals. The idea is to have a small group of major portals that can be used in a small space on the main page and under the heading "Major portals" on the browse page. There can be many other portals that are not "major portals". Every Wikiversity category can have a portal that serves to provide user-friendly access to the contents of that category. I'm not sure it is useful to say that "portals contain schools". Some portals correspond to Wikiversity categories that contain schools. For example, the Life Sciences Portal is for helping Wikiversity browsers find content in the Life Sciences category (including its sub-categories). --JWSchmidt 16:55, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Tree Structure -- How Did I Get Here? And Where am I going?
Please confirm the tree structure for Wikiversity from Main Page to my Lessons.

 * LEVEL 1: The main page for Main Page
 * LEVEL 2: Faculty for Humanities which is coded as a PORTAL and shows up on the list of Major Portals.  I could have skipped this by going directly to Fine Arts which is also a PORTAL on this Main Page and listed on the same line.
 * LEVEL 3: The School of Art and Design which is coded as a SCHOOL and listed at Wikiversity Schools which is the current list of major Wikiversity schools. Note: Art and Design is also a PORTAL listed in the Category:Portal - category containing other Wikiversity portals.
 * LEVEL 4: The Division of Fine Arts which is actually coded as a PORTAL, not a DIVISION. By looking at the code, you will see that Fine Arts is coded as "Portal:Fine Arts|The Division of Fine Arts". Fine Art Portal does not appear in Major Portals but appears in Category:Portal.  (Note:  I cannot find a list of DIVISIONS.  Divisions does not work.)  Fine Arts is listed as a topic at http://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AAllpages&from=&namespace=104

To get to my Filmmaking lessons from this page, I go to:

 * LEVEL 5: The Division of Institute of Film and Television which is coded as a TOPIC.  TOPICS can only be listed by going to http://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AAllpages&from=&namespace=104 rather than Topics or Wikiversity Topics which do not work.
 * LEVEL 6: The Subdivision of Narrative film production which is coded currently as a TOPIC.
 * LEVEL 7: My first lesson which is  WikiU Film School - Lesson #001: Formatting the Script which I coded as a LESSON which is part of a course on which is called  WikiU Film School: Course #1 - Learning the Basics of Filmmaking and is coded as a PROJECT.   (Note:  I cannot find a list of LESSONS.  Lessons does not work.))

If this is not correct, please tell me how to correct it. Robert Elliott 27 September 2006 (UTC)

"Level 4" (above). Pages in the "School:" and "Topic:" namespaces function as Wikivewrsity content creation/improvement projects, similar to the Wikipedia "Wikiprojects". The page named Topic:Fine Arts should be changed from a redirect page to a page that is started with .LEVEL 5, the Institute of Film and Television is a sub-division.LEVEL 6. Narrative film production is a department.As for the "pages that do not work", you are free to create new pages. Some people find it useful to create lists. We could have a list of every lesson at Wikiversity. One way to do this would be to make Category:Lessons and put every lesson in that category. --JWSchmidt 21:29, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

The change of Portal:Fine Arts to Topic:Fine Arts is beyond my current capability. Robert Elliott 03:15, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I would not change the portal page. Portals are to help quickly guide Wikiversity readers to educational content. "School:" and "Topic:" pages are for Wikiversity editors who are creating new Wikiversity content. There can be both Portal:Fine Arts to Topic:Fine Arts. --JWSchmidt 03:34, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Self Cataloging Items
 * Sorry for not being clear. When I say that Lessons does not work, I am refering to features in other Wikis which will AUTOMATICALLY tabulate this for you and ALWAYS keep it current. It is a feature of the software.  Best of all, this automatic feature works for any new items you want to keep track of.  It is a wonderful software feature and would be very useful here. Robert Elliott 22:05, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

If I understand this correctly, my first lesson is now at:

 * Current Location
 * LEVEL 1: Wikiversity - English
 * LEVEL 2: Faculty for Humanities
 * LEVEL 3: The School of Art and Design
 * LEVEL 4: The Division of Fine Arts
 * LEVEL 5: The Subdivision of Film and Television
 * LEVEL 6: The Department of Narrative Film Production
 * LEVEL 7: WikiU Film School:  Course #1 - Learning the Basics of Filmmaking
 * LEVEL 8: This lesson which is Lesson #001:  Formatting the Script

Let me know if I have made any errors! Robert Elliott 03:15, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

The page Basic Filmmaking should not be in the "Wikiversity" namespace. You should move it to the main namespace; Basic Filmmaking should work. --JWSchmidt 03:43, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Ops!
 * Sorry, my mistake. I will move it today. (Note: I am still not familiar with the procedure for deleting a page which was established on the wrong place.)

 * Namespaces
 * However, this points out a problem. Putting pages in the MAIN namespace will eventually cause problems.  By using the main namespace, all structure breaks down and eventually no one can find anything.

 * I believe strongly that EVERYTHING should be in a hierarchy. That is, all pages should be established as   [[Namespace:Basic_Filmmaking ]] and never just   [[Basic_Filmmaking ]]  When pages have an actual namespace (not just main) then people can use the structure of Wikiversity to search for a subject (once this features is fully working.)

 * Unless anyone has an objection, I will use the page address of [[Courses:Basic_Filmmaking ]].  I prefer to use COURSES rather than PROJECTS but apparently PROJECTS is the accepted namespace in Wikiversity for courses.  (I feel that clear namespaces should be used.  I do not think that PROJECTS clearly means COURSES.) Robert Elliott 28 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Correction
 * I see that someone has already moved the offending page to   [[Topic:Basic_Filmmaking ]] and established a REDIRECT to this new location.  Therefore, I will not move the page to  [[Courses:Basic_Filmmaking ]] today.  However, I would prefer to do this someday since I do believe that COURSE is much clearer than TOPIC for the namespace of Courses. Robert Elliott 28 September 2006.

 * More about Namespaces (Suggestion for PAGES OF LESSONS)
 * Each LESSON has many pages. Currently, I do not use a namespace for each of these pages.  Any suggestions for a namespace for each of the pages of a lesson? (PAGES is obviously not a clear namespace.) Robert Elliott 28 September 2006.

 * Move complete!
 * I have removed all references to the offending (now old and useless) page of [[Wikiversity:Basic Filmmaking ]].  The page  Basic Filmmaking  can be removed.  (When it is removed, the reference in this paragraph should turn  RED if everything is working perfectly.) Robert Elliott 20:46, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

No Course or Lesson Namespaces
As I believe, there is no Course: or Courses: namespace. And I have also noticed Lesson:Formatting_the_script - there is no Lesson: namespace either. What I'm not clear with is what to do with such lessons whose titles are the same, but those are different lessons from the different schools. There are some topics which are shared by several sciences, and then a confusion may appear. --George D. Bozovic talk 16:18, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

---

 * Dear George,
 * In a perfect world, each pages name would not just be the immediate namespace but all the namespaces to that point (the page's hierarchy.) Therefore each page would be unique and easily identifiable even if the current page has the identical name as another page.

 * The problem is the designers of Wikiversity are taking short cuts and this is NOT good. This sloppy design will come back to haunt us... exactly in the cases that you point out.  Robert Elliott 22:43, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Wikiversity talk:Schools

Manual/Craft Arts?
The School of Art and Design is part of Humanities, but there is also the Practical Arts and Sciences portal, which would seem appropriate for some of what comes under 'art and design'. I'm just wondering where the Wood Workshop should be in this hierarchy. Where would the Bauhaus fit? (Sam 02:16, 12 September 2006 (UTC))

Circular Reference

 * Portal
 * On the Main Page for Wikiversity, Fine Arts is a portal.

 * School
 * On this page, Art and Design is a school.

Please decide!!!! Robert Elliott 04:06, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

 * There can be a portal corresponding to any Wikiversity category. However, there is a short list of major portals. In my view, only portals that are on that short list should be on the main page. --JWSchmidt 04:24, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

What's the distinction between Social Sciences and Humanities? They seem to overlap significantly.--AdamG 04:15, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
 * The Wikipedia article on social sciences emphasizes the difference in methods of study, with the social sciences making use of the scientific method. Traditional academic disciplines are arbitrary divisions and Wikiversity participants should feel free to combine ideas in non-traditional ways. --JWSchmidt 12:17, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Late 2012 Updates
I edited the page to show the tree structure in its entirety. It allows an expanded view. The old edit was annoying without the ability generate from an updated perspective. Brett Johnston (talk) 11:45, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Delete school of Accountancy
Currently there is a School of Accountancy that has very little and useless content that links to the Topic of Accounting in the School of Business which has much more useful content. The School of Accountancy should just be deleted as it is redundant and confusing.

How do I go about making this happen? I am new here.

--ttam (discuss • contribs) 22:25, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

 * This page is built from that category you thought was useless. :-)  The way to remove an item in this case is to remove the page from that category.  The way to make it happen is to either post on the talk page, or if that doesn't get a response, visit the Colloquium.  -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 00:00, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Euphonium/Jechasteen/Lesson 1

Embouchure
The single most important factor in beginning to play the Euphonium (hereafter referred to as Euph) without frustration is to get a well-formed embouchure in place. The embouchure, or placement and useage of the lips, is where most of the action in playing takes place. Without a properly formed embouchure, all else fails. Find a mirror so that you can see exactly what your face looks like in place on the mouthpiece. This will help you to see problems with your embouchure.

The first step in forming the embouchure is to mouth the letter M, with the lips sealed and the jaw/teeth slightly opened and separated. Next, go through the motion that you would you would use in spitting a very small seed off the very tip of your tongue. Now hold the lips in that position. The result should looks somewhat like this:

TODO: Picture example of proper embouchure.

Now, with that placement of the lips, use the the air in your lungs (more on this in a minute) to create a buzzing noise through your lips. This a part that more or less can not be put into words, so you should go through a process of experimentation until you can create a constant pitch with only you lips. Next, try to make a "siren" sound using only your lips.

Todo: Audio sample sans mouthpiece

The obvious next step would be to add the mouthpiece to the equation. Pick up your mouthpiece of choice using your non-dominant hand (the hand you do not write with) and place it over the center of your lips, like so:

TODO: Picture example of proper mouthpiece placement.

Personal opinions abound about the proper placement of the mouthpiece in relation to your lips. Some say that the mouthpiece should be 1/3 on the top and 2/3 on the bottom, while others prefer the mouthpiece to be completely centered on the lips. Once again, I say that this comes down to personal preference and what works best for you. Each person's mouth and teeth are constructed in differing ways, so the placement of the mouthpiece will differ from person to person. The best way to find what is best for you is to experiment with the placement until you find a place on your lips that both feels comfortable and creates the best sound.

Now, with the mouthpiece to your your lips, form your embouchure in the same way as before and create the same buzzing sound. The technique for creating sound with and without mouthpiece is slightly different, so you will need to experiment in order to find the ideal way to create a good sound.

Todo: Audio sample with mouthpiece

Creating sound with the mouthpiece to your lips is a different experience than with lips alone. In order to get a good sound out of your mouthpiece, you should experiment within the constrains listed above in order to find what works for you. Just remember:
 * Keep the corners (outsides) of your lips firm. The only part of the lips which you use are contained within the rim of the mouthpiece.
 * Use the muscles of your lower body to move the air. Keep your throat out of the way, so that the air can move freely.
 * Do what feels right for you, as long as it follows the previous constraints.
 * Think open. Keep your oral cavity as open as possible.  Imagine you are fogging a mirror, then form the embouchure with that same oral space.

Breath
As important as the correct embouchure in creating a good sound in your first playing sessions is the correct breath support. Your air support and embouchure work in tandem and as a team to create tone.

Before you even begin to play on the instrument, you should practice taking full, deep breaths. When you breathe in, think about filling up your entire abdomen with air, not just your lungs. Feel your chest, stomach, and lower back expand as you breathe in. When you reach your capacity, breathe out slowly, with your lips shaped as though you are blowing a candle. Keys to good breath:
 * Normal, shallow breaths won't cut it for a wind instrument. They take a lot of air.
 * Think of filling your entire abdomen with air. Imagine your lungs filling from top to bottom, with the bottom being at your pelvis.
 * Keep the throat out of the way.

Buzzing
The purpose of these exercises is to get the embouchure working on the mouthpiece even before you connect it to the horn. Make sure that you use correct breath support. I would recommend using a piano (or other pitch source) to make sure you have the correct pitch. Long tones:
 * Match the each pitch with your pitch source for as long as your breath will support.
 * Chromatically from Low C up to Middle C

Sirens:
 * Glissando from C (below middle C) up to F, slowly. Next, quickly.
 * From C to C, slowly and quicly.

Breathing exercises
As you do these exercise, make sure that you keep the motion of air in and out as constant and consistent as possible. Do each of these several times in a row before moving on to another.

 * Breathe in for 8 counts, breathe out for 8 counts
 * In for 4 counts, out for 8 counts
 * In for 2 counts, out for 8 counts
 * In for 1 count, out for 8 counts

 * In for 8 counts, out for 4 counts
 * In for 8 counts, out for 2 counts
 * In for 8 counts, out for 1 count

Advanced:
 * In for 8, out for 16
 * In for 8, out for 12
 * In for 4, out for 16
 * In for 4, out for 12
 * In for 2, out for 16
 * In for 2, out for 12
 * In for 1, out for 16
 * In for 1, out for 12

The purpose and goal of these exercises is to create and even and consistent airflow. The intake and output should be of consistent speed throughout the whole count.

Talk:Other Free Learning Resources

where can I find more information on the "hunters-gatherers" project? It seems like it would be great to have an index of learning material from accross the internet, especially conscidering how many teachers are creating great material and posting it free around the internet these days. One place that I have found is physicsforums.com.... how would I go about integrating these materials into wikiversity? If an experienced wikiversity member could message me somehow, that would be swell ~morpheus2485

because I haven't gotten a response in a whole 5 minutes, I'm going to start indexing the materials that i know of right here. I figure they can be copied and pasted in the future as needed.... If i am somehow going about this the wrong way (which is increadibly likely), someone please clue me in.

Some thoughts
--JWSchmidt 12:00, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
 * "integration" - the basic strategy is to use hypertext links.
 * reviews - it would be useful if Wikiversity had short reviews of websites that provide good learning resources.

Hunter-gatherer what?
What are we Hunting and gathering here? Could we list tcollege courses with online notes?--Rayc 22:28, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Moving Gnacademy.org content to wikiversity
I'm administrator of http://www.gnacademy.org/ The site has lots of useful information but is dormant due to the lack of community able to maintain it. I'd like to move the content of that site onto wikiversity. There is wiki material on distance learning and a course/degree database. The wiki stuff can be moved easily. The database is harder to move, and could be part of a wikidata project.

This project could quickly become extraordinary unwieldy—my favorites folders contain dozens of learning resources on the internet, and I'm only one person. Some sort of structure should be adopted to help organize all this information in a useful manner. The Jade Knight 01:16, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree. This general "hunter-gatherers project" might fruitfully find and catalog content-rich websites with large numbers of online resources. Maybe we could start with "hunter-gatherer catalog" pages corresponding to each Wikiversity school, and link to those pages from the school pages. Specific webpages outside of Wikiversity that are about any particular topic can be linked to from the specific Wikiversity pages for that topic. In general, we need ways of getting Wikiversity participants to become aware of what learning resources already exist at other websites (including Wikipedia and Wikibooks) so that we do not waste time re-inventing what is already available. --JWSchmidt 01:59, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I completely agree, and am going to get on top of that. I'm not terribly great at editing articles and coming up with original content, but I am *very* good at finding materials for other people to use, and reviewing the materials that I find. I think this page for the "Hunter-Gatherer's Project," should be a portal/School unto itself, devoted to finding and reviewing materials for others to use rather than creating new materials. Alorocaste 04:18, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Just to bring this old topic back up, I can review the materials. Portal status could be given when a good, critical review of the sites has been written. Thanks, AP --Sunstar NW XP 21:57, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Change the name?
I stumbled on this resource quite recently, and it's very useful (so useful, in fact, that I've made it one of my Bookmarks). However, its name is misleading. I thought it was a learning project about actual hunter-gatherers and the only reason I saw it is that I'm curious about that subject. This seems to have the potential to become a larger and more important resource than it is, if it were re-named and given a link on Wikiversity's main page. --AFriedman 21:00, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

OER Grapevine
OER Grapevine is a list of open educational resources projects, may be useful. --Rogerhc 23:31, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Categories
I think this list of resources would be more useful if organized by resource category rather than alphabetically. For example, putting all of the college/university resources together, etc. -- Dave Braunschweig (talk) 00:45, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

 * I think people should be able to sort by whatever detail they want which a sortable table would allow. Probably would be easier to maintain by using templates with default values for empty columns. -- dark lama  15:06, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Help:WordToWiki

While it is possible to paste formatted text from MS Word directly into a Wiki edit page, the results may disappoint you.

Wiki formatting is not the same as Word formatting or even HTML formatting. Some of the Word markups simply don't work. Others produce surprising behaviors, making the disply look odd. Particular problems will be found with tables, which must be completely reformatted using the Wiki|Pipe Syntax].

Generally speaking, you can get a preview of what your Word text will look like in a Wiki environment by copy-pasting your text into Wordpad.

When copy-pasting from Word into Wiki, be sure to preview your work before saving it. This will show you the difference between what you expect, and what the Wiki will actually display.

Wikiversity:Please do not bite the newcomers

Please avoid biting newcomers.

On experience
Experience comes with time. Too often online collaborations turn into social cliques where outsiders are disparaged, and those not already in the know are actively discouraged from participating. When you see a new post on an old topic, don't attack the poster as ignorant, naive or of dubious parentage. Simply direct them to the information they are seeking. Treat each new member with great respect. Each new member offers new knowledge, skills, and specialties. Unless they are obviously trying to be malicious, give them a link to a page that offers help, and don’t discourage them.

More on newcomers
Newcomers and even experienced Wikiversitians may not be familiar with the policies, scope, or mission of Wikiversity. If someone acting in good faith violates a policy, acts outside the scope, or acts counter productively to the mission of Wikiversity, please do not bite them. Please be sensitive, empathetic, tactful, and considerate when letting a user know there is a more standard, accepted, or "proper" way to do something. Sometimes it is best to let a user know about a policy, or tradition. Sometimes just fixing it yourself and not saying anything is the best course of action, and sometimes it is best to just let the user be and let them figure it out on their own. One should use discernment and good judgment in this regard.

Quotes
Everyone at Wikiversity is a newcomer. We are all exploring how to use wiki technology in support of education. We need a "culture of thoughtful, diplomatic honesty... Diplomacy consists of combining honesty and politeness." --Jimbo Wales (December 17, 2006)

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 Scriptoria. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Scriptoria~enwikiversity 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.

Spanish Contributors Refresh
Hi a few weeks ago I have found Spanish Language Division completely void. I added a new course for beginners, but the problem was that the sites Spanish and Topic:Spanish had unfriendly environment to add something like Spanish: An Introduction. I wait for a while, but then I started to reorganize those sites. My aims are give more freedom on these sites and to use more friendly Wikipedia templates (e.g. this) than the former HTML script was. Finally I would like to ask you if you can sign in ones more here and reconfirm your offer to help. You can also visit this. Regards Juan 15:57, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Salut, Orpheo. You are listed at the French stream as being a fluent French speaker interested in teaching French.

Talk:Ohm's law

Current Flows from Negative to Positive
It's a matter of physics, not convenience. The diagram is misleading.208.114.179.58 (discuss) 00:24, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Hello. I've been correcting some of the spelling on this entry (hope you dont mind) and the sentence "Though individual parts may or may not be analysed by Ohm's law, their relationship to the circuit can be." doesnt make much sense. Is it just me?

Would something like "Though Ohm's law is not applicable to all circuit parts, .." be better?

Also, is this english english or american english? Ive used the english english version of analysed.

m.

Clarification
I think it would be good to point out that Ohms law as stated in the article is just a special case of Ohm's Law and by no means it the complete Ohmd law.

There is a different form, true, but it would help if you would comment on what form (in one form, it also includes the definition of power... in another -the more general case- its use is sometimes hard to figure out). Simply put, I hope that the more general case will appear on this site somewhere, but to use it as an introduction to Ohm's Law would be a little over-the-top. Mo Anabre 04:28, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Topic to be merged
I am currently Revamping EE 102: Electric Circuit Analysis which has the same name & to an extent content with this course. I will be merging this course soon after i have finished the re-vamp. Help wellcome - Thuvack 10:49, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I as about to merge Ohm's Law: Resistance and Ohm's Law (exactly the text), but I will wait a little bit more. Which title is more correct? There is another page: 'Ohm's Law, but I am not sure that the first ' is correct. --Gbaor 13:22, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I think 'Ohm's Law is more correct, the two pages have exactly identical text If i looked at them correctly. A merger is compulsory. Thuvack 15:13, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * "I think 'Ohm's Law is more correct..." You mean the definition or the page name? The thick (') at the beginning of the page title is grammatically correct? The other two pages are nearly identical, there are differences in categories and there is a non functional internal link in Ohm's Law: Resistance ("...in partnership with Kirchhoff's voltage and current laws.") fixed in the other page. If you will have some time, please do the merge all 3 pages to one with the best title. I am not physician, if you are, then you are more suitable for the job :). --Gbaor 11:49, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I will do the merger as soon as I get time, things have been hectcly busy in real life :-). I think this page could find a good home under this course. Thuvack 06:22, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know what are you talking about :) Especially when lot of work comes in unexpectedly ;) --Gbaor 11:45, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I have included this page as pre-requisite in Electric Circuit Analysis home page. I dont feel like putting on some fancy formatting yet. I am sure this page will soon find a descent home some where so I am happy to leave it standing for now. I have also requested for the double to be Deleted. Thuvack 10:59, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I changed the deletion request to a redirect in order not to break existing internal links. Or is the "Ohm's Law: Resistance" title incorrect? What about 'Ohm's Law? This page could be deleted IMO, but I am not an expert in this field, as I said before... --Gbaor 04:43, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * You are spot on, I totaly missed that one. it should definetly go. I will tag it for deletion after making sure it has nothing extra. Thuvack 05:28, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Template:W2

internal logic:

Purpose: link to a page on the English Wikipedia with wikitext that without change can be used on that Wikipedia itself and on any sister, especially the Commons. This is achieved by corresponding (but unequal) templates with the same name on both projects.

It duplicates the wikimedia commons template 'w' which doesn't match the en.wikipedia 'w' template, by creating a 'w2' template for ALL that also takes a pipetrick using an if then else construct.
 * It's primary use is for ing existing text (Snippets) using  from Wikipedia articles or usage or documentation notes refering to article space (useful in clear explanations. See 'XHTML and HTML below') in a sister portable way.

 * This will enable both sister-projects to use the same call in category pages being equalized by the various interwiki templates such as Commonscat by simply copying the same language between the two matching categories.

 * Such now takes a lot of manual editing converting from versions: Pipetricked name to 'Article name' or  to wikipedia's Article name on en.wikipedia. The xxx  forms allow pipetrick renaming, whereas   does not.

 * This 'W2 template' will allow pipetricking, and also any pipetricking used in documentation to be consistent across, as well by testing for the second argument using if then else conditionals.

Wikimedian Demographics update
Hello Jeroen. I'm writing because you requested a reminder about progress on Wikimedian Demographics. For the time being these will be about once per month.

Speaking of reminders, it turns out the template question isn't the most efficient way of coming up with a mailing list. If you want to recieve this message on another of your talk pages (or don't want them at all), please edit the list on Wikimedian Demographics/Reminders.

To update on progress so far, there have been somewhere around 50 respondents over the past month, with more trickling in slowly but steadily. There are 7 major surveys (or 12, depending on how you count them):
 * 1) The basic survey (about your participation in Wikimedia)
 * 2) The "geography" surveys (actually 6 of those, for each inhabited continent)
 * 3) The Operating System survey (still stubby)
 * 4) The Wikipedia survey
 * 5) The Commons survey
 * 6) The US presidential elections survey
 * 7) The sexuality and relationships survey

Only the geography surveys have had any major modifications since being originally posted (more countries were added to those).

Several new surveys have been discussed at Talk:Wikimedian Demographics, as well as other places within Wikiversity. A few that might be ready sometime in February include:
 * A survey about Women in Wikimedia
 * A survey about Wikibooks
 * A survey about Wikiversity
 * A survey about administrative issues (including cross-wiki topics such as CheckUser and "global blocking")
 * A survey about environmental issues
 * A survey about religion
 * A survey about international trade

If you have ideas for more surveys, please share them on Talk:Wikimedian Demographics. Thanks for your participation thus far, and we hope to see you soon! --SB_Johnny | talk 11:55, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
