When I survey the wondrous cross (Watts)

1000 Songs

Text
The song "When I survey the wondrous cross" is four stanzas of four lines that tell of the wonderment of the work that Jesus Christ performed on the cross of Calvary, and what response is the needed from us, the recipient of this work of mercy. This song promotes the concept that since Jesus Christ gave his all for us, we should give our all to him, and that anything less than our all would not be a return of love and thankfulness.

Give instructor top 3 project choice list
After choosing unpopular projects I volunteered to be the third man on the perfume project.

Write problem statement
Distill liquids to generate various fragrances.

Assign Task1
Task one was to develop a method for distilling perfume out of wine.

Compare actual work done to Task2
Distillation was not a go due to scheduling issues. Instead I thought I would go another route and create my own perfume.

Week1 Narrative
I got called in to work so I was unable to make it to the distillation meeting with Ben so I found a recipe for a do it yourself perfume and decided to try my hand at it. I gathered Vodka, water, and in lieu of essential oils since I couldn't find a store that sold any on Sunday night, extracts from a grocery store. The perfume has to settle for about 12 to 24 hours so I will have a definitive result on Monday.

Week1 Peer Review
I commented on Ben's Wiki page.

Assign Task2
This week I will distill scents from a wine or other fluid.

Compare actual work done to Task2
I helped with the distillation this week, but mostly just took notes and helped with the clean up.

Week2 Narrative
Alex studied the setup pretty well so he did the setup while I made a presentation to the class. He and Ben got a lot of the fluids that were left in the lab into a flask and began the distillation process. Mostly just to boil it and see what the end result would be. The problem that we encountered was that the fluids need to be measured for density to see if there is a difference. Not having done that for this experiment, the results could not be verified so we are going to have to conduct this experiment again. I helped with the clean up and the disposal of the fluids.

Week2 Peer Review
Will check back on the user pages of my team pages to make sure I don't miss anything, but nothing seems to be there at 19:38PM EST.

Assign Task3
We are planning on distilling wine and redo the distillation process for our first experiment.

Compare actual work done to Task2
For week 3 we repeated the experiment but we used wine to distill scents instead of going through the distillation process in week 2 using distilled materials already in the lab.

Week3 Narrative
Week 3 we accomplished two distillation experiments. On Monday we got to try out the distillation apparatus using wine but due to not knowing the complete distillation process, we failed to separate out each individual scent. I helped out with the set up and recording the data and performing calculations on weight and density. The experiment on Monday was a good learning step, but it didn't really result in different scents. On Wednesday we repeated the experiment but we made sure to separate out the vials based on the temperature that the vapor stopped on. On Wednesday I was in charge of switching out the vials to make sure we got good scents based on each temperatures. The switching process was pretty quick.
 * Video of Wednesday's set-up

Week3 Peer Review
Commented on Alex's discussion page.

Assign Task4
Task four is to refine our distillation techniques and to see how precise we can realistically get it.

Compare actual work done to Task4
We were able to refine the technique, and get our most pure sample of perfume yet.

Week4 Narrative
In our last week I talked with the professor to figure out how to set up the distillation apparatus to prevent the leaking problem on Monday and then on Wednesday I told the group members what I learned and then attached the cooling tube with marbles vertically to the florence flask. The rest of the set-up remained the same, but using this set up we were able to get the most pure sample of perfume that we have gotten this far in the project. The perfume had a very pleasant and sweet smell to it.

My top three project preferences were Perfume, Chaos Theory, and Escher in that order. The project I am currently working on is Perfume.

Write problem statement
To determine how to develop perfume using a scientific process known as distillation.

Assign Task1
The first task will be to review previous work completed on this project, attempt to develop the distillation apparatus, and prepare an experiment procedure for distillation.

Compare actual work done to Task1
The apparatus was developed, however the experiment procedure was only partially completed.

Week1 Narrative
To complete this task, the information from previous projects was used to develop a proper understanding of distillation. By reviewing the "ENGSOFT" folder with the "Wine" folder consisting of images, powerpoints, and other files, this task could be accomplished. Using this information, the apparatus was constructed as shown by the image to the right. Although this was completed, thee was not a sufficient amount of time to complete the perfume experiment.

1000 Songs/O for a thousand tongues (Charles Wesley)

O for a thousand tongues (Wesley)

1000 Songs

Text
"O for a thousand tongues" was written by Charles Wesley in 1739 and is based on Revelation 5:11. The hymn poem has a total of 19 stanzas, but commonly today only four of them are used in the typical hymnal. Several commonly used verses are listed below. O for a thousand tongues to sing My great Redeemer’s praise, The glories of my God and King, The triumphs of His grace!

My gracious Master and my God, Assist me to proclaim, To spread through all the earth abroad The honors of Thy name. Jesus! the name that charms our fears, That bids our sorrows cease; ’Tis music in the sinner’s ears, ’Tis life, and health, and peace. He breaks the power of canceled sin, He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean, His blood availed for me. He speaks, and, listening to His voice, New life the dead receive, The mournful, broken hearts rejoice, The humble poor believe. Glory to God, and praise and love Be ever, ever given, By saints below and saints above, The church in earth and heaven.

Music
The tune commonly sung to this poem is called "Azmon" written by Carl G. Glaser (1828) and then later arranged by Lowell Mason, in 1875.

Background
Several sources report that Wesley wrote this hymn to commemorate his anniversary of his conversion to Christ. Wesley spearheaded the Methodist movement, coming from the Church of England.

I made a chose to work with the same team on a perfume project

Write problem statement
To determine how to develop perfume using a scientific process known as distillation, also how to use wine or any alcohol to see how much perfume is in the in the wine?

Assign Task1
My first task is going to be preview other experiments about scientific perfume distillation and collect some information that I can use for the set up of distillation.

Compare actual work done to Task1
I have made a lot of research about distillation, and understand how it works now. The distillation method is the one of the ways that we can create our own perfume.I have learned the history of perfume and where it started and where it came from, little background acknowledge.

Week1 Narrative
*videos from web
 * fractional distillation video
 * documentary of our scents video

*websites
 * Introduction to perfume

 * the procedure of distillation
 * perfume history

*personal videos
 * Video of my incomplete set up

what is distilation? Distillation is a widely used method for separating mixtures based on differences in the conditions required to change the phase of components of the mixture. To separate a mixture of liquids, the liquid can be heated to force components, which have different boiling points, into the gas phase. The gas is then condensed back into liquid form and collected. Repeating the process on the collected liquid to improve the purity of the product is called double distillation.

The main task of this week was to set up for the distillation experiment.. This week, I was in the ENES lab firstly doing a lot of research online. I stated reading about the history of perfume and where it was originated, if anybody is interested, just click to this link :perfume history and will explain everything in details. After my research, I try to develop the main set up in lab, but had some issues my first issue was not knowing the chemical instrument, and secondly, I could not find a stand to stabilize whole set up,I have connected most of the parts and tried to put on the heater to see if it stays without holding it, the result was not successful, I was not able to find anything to give support.. I have connected all the glassware correctly except one thing; as you can see on the picture on here the vertical pipe has three output and I have to close two of them to start my experiment, I came out with idea, which was to close the holes with some aluminium foil and rubber band..

Even though, I have not started my interesting experiment,I was able to come up with some ideas to push this project forward. I will be bringing some foil and rubber band and may be bring some alcohol to test my experiment. To start the distillation items I have just mentioned are just I need so far for this week..

Week1 Peer Review
I posted a comment on User talk:Zchill/enes100/Distillation regarding the same task for next week. I also commented on Ben's individual page regarding his experiment needs another temperature....User talk:Baminnick/enes100/Distillation

Assign Task2
For the next task I will be testing set up I have build for the distillation, and if I get some more time I will be making home made perfume from essential oils...

Compare actual work done to Task2
For this week, I was able to get some pure alcohol from the distillation, and the experiment went really well, but we were not able to determine the density of before and after heating the alcohol.

Week2 Narrative

This week task was completed with some problems, but still managed to get the set up and the distillation work. At first, I was trying to set up my tubes and flask and get the other laboratory instruments together.. This part of the experiment can take time if you really don't know where you connecting them.. eventually, all the parts were found and connected correctly.. my next task was to add some alcohol inside the flask and start the distillation, but I found some issues, first I don't have enough alcohol and second, I did not know what type of alcohol is in the bottles that are shown in the pictures above. I did not have any other options at present but I have put on my note book what I need for the next experiment, which will be on Wednesday. I used all the alcohol were in the bottle, and add some water too.. I had 20ml total liquid ready in the flask to be heated... I started heating the flask and observing the temperatures from the flask and see where it goes, which was around 70 C degrees.. After 10 minute alcohol boiling in the flask, I have seen the temperature increasing rapidly.. I have also seen the condensation going up the tubes and starts dripping inside the graduated cylinder.. As a result I had 20ml at the beginning and I have left with 5 ml pure distilled alcohol.

 * video 1
 * video 2
 * video 3

there were two problems; one was which alcohol was I using, two; was to find the density of alcohol before and after heating.. For the solutions, I will be using wine this week and I will be measuring everything before and after heating the experiment.Another solution will be to find the density of wine before hand, as in true value of density of wine..

Week2 Peer Review
I posted a comment on User talk:Zchill/enes100/Distillation regarding to push the project further. I also commented on Ben's individual page regarding his complete points and he does not have to do anything any more, but still can join us anytime he wants.User talk:Baminnick/enes100/Distillation

Assign Task3
since I have the wine and ready set up, I will be determining the density of the wine or alcohol and after heating it up,for the next task and also, I will recheck the density if pure alcohol that came out of the wine..

Compare actual work done to Task3
I could not find the accurate density of wine, but the process was successful and lead me to captured sudden temperature changes represent a gas boiling point which are different alcohols...

Week3 Narrative

Monday we got to try out the distillation set up using wine but having some issues with the complete distillation process, we failed to separate out each individual scent. we have spent lot of time on Monday to get the whole alcohol out by waiting temperature to increase to 100 C degrees, and we collect all of the distilled pure alcohol in one beaker. This was not completely wrong but was not the way to get scents from a component. I was recording the data and performing calculations on weight and density, taking some note in my notebook, and also watching the temperature changes.. The whole thing was was a good learning process, but it didn't really result in different scents that we wanted to.

However Wednesday, we repeated the experiment once again but we made sure to separate out the vials based on the temperature that the vapor stopped on. Main goal was to watch the temperature and record when it stops, and change the 5ml flask to collect a different alcohol, in total we have got six different temperature changes rapidly,as a result we have 6 different pure alcohol.

and here are the data for alcohols

Even though I have not got complete scents from any alcohol, but I have determined and understood the way distillation works...two more things was important and there were sensitivity and accuracy in the whole experiment..

 * Monday experiment
 * Wednesday experiment

Week3 Peer Review
I posted a comment on User talk:Zchill/enes100/Distillation regarding his wiki work for this week that he has put some effort into it. and completing the team page.

1000 Songs/Come thou long-expected Jesus (Charles Wesley)

Come thou long-expected Jesus (Wesley)

1000 Songs

Text
Come, thou long expected Jesus, born to set thy people free; from our fears and sins release us, let us find our rest in thee. Israel's strength and consolation, hope of all the earth thou art; dear desire of every nation, joy of every longing heart. Born thy people to deliver, born a child and yet a King, born to reign in us forever, now thy gracious kingdom bring. By thine own eternal spirit rule in all our hearts alone; by thine all sufficient merit, raise us to thy glorious throne.

Author
The hymn was written by Charles Wesley in 1744.

Background
The text was based on the desire for the second coming of Christ. This is darker subject matterfor a hymn due to the focus on sin and our desperate need for freedom. He wrote the text in the context of slavery. When he was in his early thirties, Wesley traveled to America on a mission. While there, he experienced a white parent buy their child a slave to torment. This left a heavy impression on him and inspired texts based on freedom.

1000 Songs/Arise my soul arise (Charles Wesley)

Arise my soul arise (Wesley)

1000 Songs

Text
Arise, my soul, arise; shake off thy guilty fears;

The bleeding sacrifice in my behalf appears:

Before the throne my surety stands,

Before the throne my surety stands,

My name is written on His hands.

He ever lives above, for me to intercede;

His all redeeming love, His precious blood, to plead:

His blood atoned for all our race,

His blood atoned for all our race,

And sprinkles now the throne of grace.

Five bleeding wounds He bears; received on Calvary;

They pour effectual prayers; they strongly plead for me:

“Forgive him, O forgive,” they cry,

“Forgive him, O forgive,” they cry,

“Nor let that ransomed sinner die!”

The Father hears Him pray, His dear anointed One;

He cannot turn away, the presence of His Son;

His Spirit answers to the blood,

His Spirit answers to the blood,

And tells me I am born of God.

My God is reconciled; His pardoning voice I hear;

He owns me for His child; I can no longer fear:

With confidence I now draw nigh,

With confidence I now draw nigh,

And “Father, Abba, Father,” cry.

Cultural setting
In his book My Life and the Story of the Gospel Hymns and of Sacred Songs and Solos, Ira Sankey writes:

"First published in 1742 under the title, "Behold the Man," this became one of the most useful of Charles Wesley's numerous hymns. In universal use in English countries, and translated into many languages, it has been the direct instrumentality in the conversion of thousands of souls.  It has found expression in the exultant cry on the lips of many a dying saint.

'I have a record,' said a Wesleyan missionary laboring in the West Indies, 'of two hundred persons, young and old, who received the most direct evidence of the forgiveness of their sins while singing 'Arise, my soul.' The conversion of the greater number of these persons took place while I was a missionary abroad.'"

In her book Hymns That Every Child Should Know: A Selection of the Best Hymns of All Nations for Young People edited by Dolores Bacon, she writes:

"This hymn has extensive anecdotal history, but the most picturesque story recorded is that of its connection with a Patagonian missionary expedition which ended disastrously for all concerned. The company was wiped out by violence and disease, and the captain of the ship upon which the company had embarked wrote in his diary, Sept. 6, 1851: 'I neither hunger nor thirst, though five days without food.  Marvelous loving kindness to me, a sinner.' This Captain Gardiner and John Babcock were almost the only ones left of the expedition.  Babcock died first, and he asked the survivors to sing this hymn.  That expedition was the direct means of establishing the first Terre del Fuegan missions."

Text
And can it be, that I should gain An interest in the Saviour's blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain For me, who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! how can it be That Thou, my God, shoulds't die for me?

'Tis mystery all! The Immortal dies: Who can explore His strange design? In vain the first-born seraph tries To sound the depths of love divine. 'Tis mercy all! let earth adore, Let angel minds inquire no more.

He left His Father's throne above, So free, so infinite His grace, Emptied Himself of all but love, And bled for Adam's helpless race: 'Tis mercy all, immense and free; For, O my God, it found out me!

Long my imprisoned spirit lay Fast bound in sin and nature's night; Thine eye diffused a quickening ray, I woke, the dungeon flamed with light; My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth and followed Thee.

No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in Him, is mine! Alive in Him, my living Head, And clothed in righteousness divine, Bold I approach the eternal throne, And claim the crown, through Christ my own.

Author biography
The hymns of Charles Wesley have had an astounding impact on later hymnody. It is estimated that Charles Wesley has written approximately between 6,500 and 9,000 hymn texts, a few of which are found in today's modern hymnals.

Author's circumstances
Wesley has had a strong impact of the evangelical emphasis of hymnody. The Wesleyan belief of unlimited atonement if found in his hymns. For example, "Christ the Lord is Risen Today" is written from the stand point of his beliefs. Another difference that Wesley has made in his hymns is the metrical variation. Compared to his contemporary, Isaac Watts, who only wrote in three different meters, Charles Wesley wrote in thirty different meters. The meter of "Christ the Lord is Risen Today" is 7.7.7.7..

Charles Wesley was born at Epworth, England, on December 18, 1707.

Music
Jesus, Lover of My Soul Charles Wesley, 1740 Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to thy bosom fly, while the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high: hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past; safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last!

Other refuge have I none, hangs my helpless soul on thee; leave, ah! leave me not alone, still support and comfort me! All my trust on thee is stayed, all my help from thee I bring; cover my defenseless head with the shadow of thy wing.

Thou, O Christ, art all I want; more than all in thee I find: raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy name; I am all unrighteousness; false and full of sin I am, thou art full of truth and grace.

Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within: thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of thee; spring thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity.

Amazing grace (Newton)

1000 Songs

Text
This text was published in 1779 in the Olney Hymns

Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound) That sav'd a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears reliev'd; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believ'd. Thro' many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come; 'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. The Lord has promis'd good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures. Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease; I shall possess, within the veil, A life of joy and peace. The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, who call'd me here below, Will be forever mine.

And like a flood, his mercy reigns, Unending love, amazing grace." Even before this, it was often combined with other hymns as a chorus. For example: "Amazing grace! How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind but now I see. Shout, shout for glory, Shout, shout aloud for glory; Brother, sister, mourner, All shout glory hallelujah.

Editor's Choice
I prefer the Chris Tomlin version. Here is a video of it!

Author's circumstances
Newton had an interesting story because he was a captain of a slave trading ship and very unpopular among his crew, but in the middle of a large storm, he was terrified for his life and he told God that if he survived the journey, he would turn his life around and dedicate it to God. He did, and this also led to him writing "Amazing Grace."

Cultural setting
This was not terribly popular outside of the United States, but it accompanied the Second Great Awakening Revival movement.

1000 Songs/God moves in a mysterious way (William Cowper)

God moves in a mysterious way (Cowper)

1000 Songs

Text
Supposedly, "God moves in a mysterious way" was Cowper's last him that he wrote.

Author
William Cowper was an extremely popular and well-known poet in his time. Unfortunately, he suffered from bouts of occasional madness. He tried to commit suicide several times during his life. Fortunately, this helped him to realize the power of God to forgive sins (as displayed in this hymn when he writes, "And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains"). He is also notable for translating Homer's Iliad and Odyssey into English blank verse. He was also closely associated with John Newton.

Tune
This song has several arrangements but the most common one from the Scottish Psalter was DUNDEE. Other ones include BELMONT, LONDON NEW, and UNION.

Editor's Choice
I, personally, like DUNDEE. The Scottish Psalter was and is well known and used for a reason.

1000 Songs/There is a fountain filled with blood (William Cowper)

There is a fountain filled with blood (Cowper)

1000 Songs

Text
"There is a fountain filled with blood" was first published in Richard Conyer's "Collection of Psalms and Hymns" in 1772 and is a powerful text. It is full of repetition of important doctrinal thoughts. The hymnic meter appears to be common meter at first, but the "refrain" --if you will-- is 6.6.8.6. So, technically the meter is irregular: 8.6.8.6.6.6.8.6.

He is also notable for translating Homer's Iliad and Odyssey into English blank verse. He was also closely associated with John Newton.

Tune
The most well-known hymn tune used with this hymn is a 19th century camp meeting tune called CLEANSING FOUNTAIN. However, there are alternate tunes called BELMONT by William Gardiner, COWPER by Lowell Mason, HORSELY by William Horsely, WALSALL by Henry Purcell, and WILTSHIRE by George T. Smart, but none of these are very well-known at all.

Editor's Choice
I am extremely fond of the popular hymn tune paired with this song (CLEANSING FOUNTAIN), however, I also really enjoy the WALSALL tune, which is attributed to Henry Purcell. It is in a minor key instead of major like all the other alternates. However, it does not feature the repetition of the last lines as in the original poem. I greatly enjoy both of these tunes.

Engineering Projects/Model boat/Howard Community College/fall2011/501 Boating

The goal of this form is to provide a standard project format that practicing engineers can use to compare project documentation with while assessing these projects. It is called the "Team Done Form" because it should be filled out by the end of the project. Starting with this format helps make the done process much easier.

Projects are never "done" or "finished." But time runs out. Classes end. So this form has nothing to do with project success. This "Done" form can simply state "Nothing was done." If the section below does not fit your project, delete everything but still leave in the section header.

Problem Statement
Put the last negotiated problem statement with the instructor or client of the project here.

Team Members

 * Teddy Hanson
 * Andrew Cyles Satya

Summary
Put an overall, one paragraph summary here with links to the team weekly reports.

Poster
Put a graphic in wikimedia, include the graphic here or link to it here. The graphic should be suitable for creating a traditional project poster.

Story
Tell a story of the project. Describe how split up, what the obstacles were, what testing was done, what informal decisions were made, what assumptions were made, what the results were. This is a longer version of the summary with links to all the details collected associated with the project. These links could be to software, links to videos, links to project pages with pictures, etc. Think of the story as a summary of the team weekly reports on one long page rather than a short paragraph like the summary.

Decision List
List all formal decisions made with links to their documentation such as a decision tree or decision matrix.

Material List
Figuring out what to purchase, what to build, what everything costs is a huge part of engineering. Typically there is a list of materials in stock, materials that are ordered, materials that should be ordered next time there is money, materials that have not been fully justified. These issues are part of healthy management of the engineering lab but are associated with a particular college. The detail needs to be published in this "Done" form. However in the project root, just a list of materials is necessary.

Software List
Installing and learning different software packages is part of most engineering project just like the materials list.

Time
Time estimates and actual time consumed measurements helps justify salaries (grades). The only way to gain respect for estimated project time and costs is to practice.

Tutorials
Most projects consist of making instructions to jump start the next team, shrink the learning of tools and software to the minimum, advice on where to purchase materials, how to assemble, etc. Tutorials modified or created are described here with links.

Next Steps
If this is not filled out, the next team may have to repeat each of your steps just to figure out what the next step is. It is best to write this immediately at the end of the project while creating the summary, poster, presentation, and story.

Subjective Critera
While reading these sections, practicing engineers are building up the following impressions about the document. So the following categories are more subjective:

Repeatablitly
Is there enough detail to repeat the work?

Clarity
Is there enough detail that the questions provoked focus on the next step rather than clearing up fog? Is there enough detail that alternative conclusions can be flirted with? Is there enough transparency that finished and unfinished boundaries can be seen?

Integrity
Proving something doesn't exist or doesn't work usually requires exhaustion. Simply saying "it can not be done" is like challenging a pro basketball player (engineer) to one-on-one basketball (find a solution). It does not inspire respect. All the different ways respect is created can be found throughout the wikibook General Engineering Introduction.

Give instructor top 3 project choice list
Typically the instructor picks teams. Students send the instructor their top 3 choices. The project choices are typically those found at Category:General_Engineering_Projects. The instructor tries to put students in the project of their choice. Put your top three choices here after they are used to assign you to this project. Create a link to the project root and to where your team will be working.

Write problem statement
Look through the existing problem statements. Find something not yet done on the project. Create a problem statement for it. Think of a new subsystem that needs to be built for the project. The goal is something simple, possible, for zero dollars.

Assign Task1
Tasks are typically done over the weekend. They are documented during the week, presented during the week and the next weekends work is negotiated during the week. Week 0 is the week that task 1 is negotiated. Record your individual task here. Plan on working on it during the weekend between week0 and week1.

I succesfully tested different possibilities for the hull of the boat, picked the best option, and began construction of the boat itself.

Week3 Narrative
I started the week with only a motor from the dismantled RC car that was able to spin a prop controlled by the remote. I then decided to test various materials to use as options for the hull of the boat. This test consisted of three main parts and took place in my bathtub and the surrounding floor. The first part of the test consisted of simply testing if the candidate floated on water of it's own accord. Then, I alternated for ten minutes between waves and relatively still water with each successive minute of waves becoming increasingly turbulent. Finally, after the in-water test was complete I took the candidate out of the water and dried it off quickly with a towel. I then placed it on some paper towels to test if any water had penetrated within and was leaking out from the bottom. This last part did not apply to everything that I tested, but I did it to everything in order to keep the test uniform and constant throughout the process.

The other photos are being taken to be uploaded and are on their way.

Abd discussion closure.
Would you like to open a community review ? I'd happily support you if you do. -- Simone 19:22, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * There have been multiple community reviews, dozens of colloquium threads, etc., all about abuse and disruption by Abd. A Community Review does not have the authority to ban people nor any true authority. A simple flat vote is more than enough to remove Abd. Ottava Rima (talk) 20:04, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Apart from the fact that SBJ rather dislikes the idea of getting rid of Wikiversity's most active sysop...-- Simone 22:51, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Good gravy. If you think I'm happy with Abd being a sysop, you really haven't been paying attention ;-). --SB_Johnny talk 23:03, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I know you're not happy with it, but I think you realise that a summary ban vote is possibly the most inflammatory way of trying to end it. -- Simone 18:14, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, I was Wikiversity's most active sysop, and I was an actual sysop. Abd lacks the community's trust, misused the ops a lot, and does very little good around here. Ottava Rima (talk) 23:54, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Blocked
Per Darklama's suggestion here, which seemed to me to be the only reasonable suggestion made in that discussion that pointed towards a sensible outcome.

Abd's request on my talk page is what brought me into it. What I said in September was that I would block one or both of you, and I've blocked both of you. Please sort this out via email or IRC, and provide some mutual reassurance that it won't happen again. --SB_Johnny talk 21:00, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
 * SB Johnny, we both know that you are far too conflicted to have issued the original statement against me before and still too conflicted. After all, you have irl harassed me quite a bit, called me without permission, named dropped people I know on WR, threatened to call them, etc. You get glee from any chance you can abuse your ops like this, which is why the community here said there was consensus to take your ops away.

Distillation of alcohol

The process of creating ethanol, or drinking alcohol, is incredibly simple. Alcohol is the left over waste product from yeast breaking down complex sugars for their use as fuel. This process is so easy to do, that it only takes a short space to explain it.
 * 1) Heat water and dissolve as much sugar, either table sugar, sucrose, or molasses, etc, as you can.
 * 2) Wait for the water to cool back to room temperature, and then add a teaspoon of bread yeast, or a special kind of brewing yeast to the water. Waiting for the water to cool is crucial, because if it is too hot, it will kill the yeast.
 * 3) Within a short period of time, the mixture should begin to bubble. It does so because CO2 is a major byproduct of alcohol production. Be careful not to seal the container it is in, as this may result in an explosion. The best thing to do is to have a cover which just sits on top of the containing vessel, so that things do not fall into the mixture, and at the same time, so gases can escape.
 * 4) Wait a few days until the mixture stops bubbling, this is the sign that the fermentation process is complete.
 * 5) Filter your liquid through a coffee filter to remove the yeast and other impurities.
 * 6) The result should be approximately the equivalent of a 40 proof liquor. Do not worry, this process creates no toxic chemicals such as methanol, so no further refinement is needed to create a consumable product.
 * 7) Add flavoring if desired, and enjoy!

Wikiversity:Candidates for Custodianship/Thenub314 (full custodian)

Nomination for full custodianship
Having had a long time to evaluate his style, I'm happy to recommend Thenub314 for full custodianship. Thenub has a long history of activity in the Wikimedia projects as a contributor, and is both a 'crat and a checkuser on Wikibooks. His contributions here have shown a level of neutrality, skill, and thoughtfulness that has and will greatly benefit the community as a whole.

While this may set a record for the longest probation period yet due to 2 very long wikibreaks, having a good number of responsible and cool-headed "part time" custodians is in many ways better for the project than a few very active "full timers", since it gives us a better balance of voices. --SB_Johnny talk 09:39, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Thenub, what is your view on Blocking policy? Is there some part of this that you would change to reflect our actual operating consensus? --Abd 13:00, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

 * As we have discussed elsewhere, I do view the blocking policy as ratified policy. It has been edited heavily in the past year and has not been reviewed by the community, brought to a !vote, etc.  After a quick reading I would say it is a fairly straight forward document that makes an excellent guideline for custodians.  I am sure I would change a few things if I gave a careful reading, but probably nothing drastic.  Given the fact the WMF is looking to change the Terms of Service to make clear global bans are a possibility, it might be nice if we had a section that gave some explicit guidance in this direction. Thenub314 16:51, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Thanks. There is no clear evidence that "the WMF [per se] is looking to change the TOS to make clear global bans are a possibility," in a way that would affect our own policy. Global bans are already a reality, not merely a possibility. That's not the issue. The ban discussion on meta is largely about an improvement to the decision method, but the issue of local independence has also come up. What I've seen in the last day is that people are starting to show up to protect local independence. The issue is whether or not our own custodians will follow our own policy. The WMF may override, but the consensus among 'crats I talk to is that this is very, very unlikely, it would be cooking the goose that lays the golden egg. Yes, a section in our policy could and probably should make this explicit. But as the policy stands, it does not give any authority to custodians to block a local account based on a "global ban," which is, status quo, implemented through a global lock and affects only SUL accounts. I.e., global bans only affect global accounts. Makes sense to me! --Abd 18:06, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * For the record there is some clear evidence this is initiated by the WMF. Consider the following quote from the announcement about the new terms of service: "Novel for us, the agreement also raises the possibility of a global ban for extreme cross-wiki violations, a need that we have heard expressed from a number of community members." --Geoff Brigham, General Counsel, Wikimedia Foundation
 * Which makes me suspect that Steve Walling has been officially tasked with making some policies before the new terms of use come into effect. So all chaos doesn't break loose.  But your right, global bans are already a reality, even if not mentioned in TOS. Thenub314 22:54, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

 * The bottom line question here is Would you block locally to reflect a meta consensus, not accompanied by local policy violations by a local user? You have supported such blocks in the past, hence the question. WMF intervention and control is a red herring. It hasn't happened. The WMF has not taken a position. --Abd 18:06, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, with a whole lot of but's and if's. It is perhaps easier to judge me on actual actions then statements of general philosophy so let me mention a very specific case.  Several months ago a WP admin outed Poetlister as editing at WB.  The following points are relatively academic because this account has not edited since that time, and I suspect it never will. But, I am aware of the account as being an account belonging to Poetlister, I have the ability to block that account, I have read the meta discussion.  I hwill not block that account as a result of the discussion at meta.   The WB community was overlooked in being invited to this discussion.  As far as I am aware no members of the WB community spoke in the discussion at meta, so that communities opinion was never represented.  Here at WV, I would have done the same as SBJ.  Thenub314 18:32, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Most WMF wikis were not represented in that discussion, nor was there any need for that, in fact, for a global ban decision. Global bans are based on global behavior. So your decision as to whether or not to violate local policy/tradition is based on your personal judgment of the meta discussion? Above, you say that you will follow consensus, but what consensus? Meta? Wikiversity? Wikiversity community consensus on the principle (local blocks only for local problems) became quite clear last year, as to practice, it was already clear from the proposed WV:Blocking policy. Are you just following your own opinion as to which consensus to follow? You are correct that there is no consensus yet on Poetlister personally. However, in the absence of a present problem here we would not ordinarily judge this, unless someone starts a discussion. The only grounds for blocking Poetlister given here have been that he's globally banned, and no local disruption has been alleged. Your position reduces to "I can block Poetlister, in spite of no local consensus to block, in spite of no local disruption, if I judge that a meta discussion was appropriate. Not if I judge it inappropriate." Is this so? --Abd 15:07, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I would describe my point of view this way, on any issue whatsoever, on WV I follow the WV consensus. In absence of an established consensus on a specific issue I use my best judgment about how to use custodial tools, and if at some point later consensus established that the tools should have been used differently I will correct my actions.  About the specific issue, far as I was aware, we had not established a consensus about this sort of global bans (on this point you and I disagree).  Given that is the case, the actions of SBJ coincide with what my best judgment. Does this answer your questions? Thenub314 19:41, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

 * In particular, what would you suggest about Wikiversity custodians enforcing a ban declared on another wiki, against a local user who has only positive contributions here and no policy violations? Should Wikiversity custodians follow our own policy, or follow a policy or conclusions developed elsewhere, and based on behavior elsewhere? --Abd 13:00, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

 * It depends on the specifics of than your hypothetical situation gives. For example, if a global ban was declared at wikispecies, without letting the wikiversity community know about the discussion, the custodian should clearly not block.  In the current setting, which is what I am assuming your really asking about, I have made clear we should block and ask the community how to handle the unblock request.  The current case is not a case of local rights vs. global rights.  It was a caase of meta attempting to do its job.  The conversation was one of vested interest across several communities, they informed our community, several prominent members of our community took part in the discussion.  The consensus was to globally ban.  That doesn't mean that wikiversity must forever ban, but it does seem sensible to block and seek the local community consensus.  So to summarize, to my mind this is not a case of our wiki vs. another wiki.  It is a case where we worked with meta in deciding a difficult global question. Thenub314 17:54, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for making your response clear. You would block, based on a meta consensus, rooted in behavior elsewhere, and no evidence of harm here. It "seems sensible" to you. Is it correct that you would intend to heed a meta consensus, right or wrong, to establish a controlling decision here, disregarding our own policy?
 * Thenub, I'm aware that there are some users who would support this position. I'm concerned, though, about any custodian on Wikiversity who is responsible to meta, instead of to the Wikiversity community, as we have expressed ourselves in policies and precedents. Your position allows you to be following "consensus," as you have stated you will, but it's not our consensus that you would follow, it's a consensus of whoever shows up at meta, as decided by a closer at meta. Right? I want to make sure I don't misunderstand you. --Abd 18:18, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * In short No. In cases where consensus has not yet been established, I would follow the meta consensus that involved the local community until such a time that the local community made up its mind. Thenub314 19:00, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * This effectively disables the general consensus here on blocking policy, because every new case is one in which "consensus has not been established," and judgment is then based on something that did not happen here. Thanks for being clear. No further questions on this point from me. --Abd 20:06, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

 * You opposed the unblock/unlock of Thekohser previously, which was a position not supported by consensus, neither here nor on Wikibooks, where you have advanced privileges. On what principles did you base this? --Abd 13:00, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I am a rather unusual member of the WMF, and I tend to contribute to as many of the projects as I qualified to. Currently I consider myself active on Wikibooks, Wikiversity, Wikiquote, Wikisource and Wikipedia.  As such I do see these projects as a family with a global community.  If there is a user who is seriously disruptive to multiple projects, then I support the concept of a global ban.  The specifics of Thekohser's case disturbed me, such as buying or otherwise obtaining advance privileges after being blocked, not to mention his unwillingness to give any clear account of that incident.

 * More generally I frequently hold a position outisde of the usual consensus.  But I always enforce consensus despite my personal feelings. Thenub314 16:51, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

 * This is important, but it's dicta, perhaps, hence it's in collapse.
 * I'm troubled with "enforcing consensus," because apparent consensus can be false, i.e., not real consensus. One of the protections in a wiki structure is that nobody is obligated to do anything. Think the majority is wrong? Don't enforce the majority view? But don't defy it, either. Let someone enforce it who understands and accepts it, they will do a better job. Rather, sound wiki structure has the actors (editors and administrators) always being responsible for their own actions. "They made me do it" is never an excuse. Remember, decisions on wikis are theoretically made by strength of arguments, not !votes. So if an admin is not convinced by the arguments, what is the admin doing by enforcing the decision? It's obviously, then, about numbers! The question is refraining from acting contrary to apparent consensus, especially as reflected in policy, absent very clear reasons. The issue has certainly been raised with me -- and I agree with the objections, i.e., the problem is real. I may take certain actions in anticipation of consensus that is not expressed, that's standard w:WP:BOLD, and I might even err in these -- and I have. But if I act contrary to policy, as anything other than a trial balloon, my adminship is at stake. It better be good!
 * This misunderstanding then leads to the idea that we are enforcing consensus found at meta. If you personally believe that a user is causing damage here, that allows you to block, under policy. --Abd 18:06, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Yesterday, you expressed your discomfort at what you thought was stalking or harassment. There was no stalking, as explained, there was additional support added by me to help a user comply with license requirements, communication with teachers about problems with work of their students, and custodians must, in any case, expect and welcome that their contributions will be reviewed -- which is not what was being done. What can you say about this sensitivity of yours? --Abd 13:00, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

 * I never used categorized your edits as stalking or harassment, and if I gave that impression, you have my apologies. But you definitely did hope in the middle of one conversation I was having, and I felt you derailed it.  And I felt there was signs that there might be more of this in the future.  An important part of the context was on the tail of an  email from you which I saw as explicit coercion to get me to modify my stance on the blocking policy. I suppose I do tend to have habit of getting annoyed with people who believe that I can be bribe/coerce/etc.  The situation was not about people reviewing my actions and let me emphasize that I don't mind anyone examining my edits and criticize or discuss them with me or to simply revert anything that they don't agree with. Thenub314 17:54, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Thenub. That email was letting you know what arguments might appear here, to give you the opportunity to think about them. I'm grateful that you are being open about your positions, that speaks well of you, in itself. I'd say that the response to a possible "derailing" would be to follow up, yourself, with more helpful comments with the user. The more the merrier. There is no harm in two custodians being supportive. --Abd 18:24, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi Thenub314, please advise how useful Wikiversity would be to the native English speakers and to the rest of the world. KYPark [T] 09:05, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

 * I find the question of utility an interesting one to answer. I see the WMF's various projects as filling in the various aspects of the educational process.  Wikipedia gives an overview, as well as connects related subjects, but encyclopedias are not ment for deep understanding.  Wikibooks provides books that do aid in coming to a deep understanding of a subject, but it is rare that people can do this on their own.  Wikiversity provides the key aspect of a community where people can discuss, correct, conjecture, etc. and thereby really learn.  I would hope that are community will at some point be a model for the rest of the world to look at, and our resources of such high quality they are translated and distributed amoungs all the different language wikiversities.  The truth is to reach the goal of making knowledge freely available (which would have a wide impact on the world), we would really need wikiversity's in many local languages.  And thankfully we can also learn from their communities and their resources as much as I hope they can learn from ours.  I hope I hit upon the nerve of your question, please let me know if I did not. Thenub314 19:41, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your cogent answer, Thenub. I would only add one thing: for that function to fully be implemented, academic freedom is necessary. That freedom is largely impossible on Wikipedia, because of the single-page, encyclopedic structure. Can you understand why I then consider the independence of Wikiversity, as a haven where users are judged only by their contributions here, not what has happened or what happens elsewhere, to be of crucial importance? --Abd 20:06, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I would agree with your first statement about academic freedom, and I would go further about Wikipedia. It is not only that Wikipedia's structure isn't conducive to academic freedom, Wikipedia should not encourage academic freedom.  It is, if you will, outside the scope of the project.  Academic freedom necessarily allows for some POV, allows for and original research/thought.  But no, I do not see it necessary to turn blinders on to a users behavior at our sister projects to allow them academic freedom.  I believe that users who harass, intimidate, threaten, etc. members of the WMF projects should be globally banned, and for that position to really make sense you must allow for some consideration of a user's behavior at other projects.  For the most part a users actions elsewhere are not an issue, but in extreme cases I think they can and should be considered.  I do not see this as contradicting the principles of academic freedom. Thenub314 21:09, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Right about Wikipedia. Nobody is suggesting "blinders," and, in fact, if users have been disruptive elsewhere, we should watch them. You are saying that "in extreme cases" policy can be disregarded? That's w:WP:IAR, and it's correct. However, "extreme cases," by definition, involve serious damage or immediate risk. I'm not seeing any "serious damage or immediate risk" even alleged, other than the risk that a user in question will make good contributions and thus become accepted. We benefit from assuming that risk, and the risk is real for every user. The old problem of an undisclosed sock gaining advanced privileges doesn't apply to an open account. (Allowing such an account to edit reduces risk, for many reasons.) So what's the risk that could justify disregarding blocking policy and precedent? --Abd 22:17, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * When you say "even alleged", I have a feeling we have silently changed topics somehow. I am guessing your talking about the specific case of Poetlister? Or is this still about KYPark's questions of utility of WV and the subsequent topics of  academic freedom and users being judged by only their actions here? Thenub314 22:32, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * You are correct, Thenub. My edit summary pointed out that this was connecting the two topics, it's not actually "changed," but now being examined integratively. You mentioned the use of global bans, thus making relevant the present ban example. That's just an example, though, the issues raised are general. --Abd 23:28, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * The only two comments I have to say are that I believe this is the correct forum to go into the specifics of Poetlister's case. Secondly, Poetlister and I have been in contact for many months, beginning with some emails related to WQ. Much of what he communicated with me was, to my understanding, confidential.  So I find it difficult to discuss the allegations against him, trying to keep straight which details are private and which are public.  I brought him up only to highlight the difference in my own behavior/judgment for the community to consider, but did not mean to suggest we analyze his situation in detail here. Thenub314 23:48, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree. Actually, my concern is based on my conclusion that we should not touch these issues at all on Wikiversity. Allegations against users should not be repeated here, with one obvious exception: allegations about behavior here. (And users may inform us, neutrally, as to a ban decision elsewhere, pointing to it, at least generally.) Can you agree?
 * No. As I said above, my opinion is that at times we should consider behavior other places.  But the specifics of Poetlister's case have little with my custodianship (I hope).  Perhaps you'll find it useful to read my responses to Darklama's original set of questions.  Feel free to comment on my talk page. Thenub314 00:03, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

 * It is so nice of you, Thenub, here to take primarily education and the global, utilitarian "goal of making knowledge freely available (which would have a wide impact on the world)." Yet, we often come to what does good to some, say, your people may do much harm or injustice to others. To me at least, education is not only learning knowledge but perhaps more vitally wisdom and justice to be done to others by reducing vested self-interests and powers as far as wise, at which the so-called 99% worldwide are now so angry in a way. Frankly I fear the hawks and their abuse of custodianship or the like (as sort of vested interests) far more than the general editorship. The weakness of WP in particular, if any, may mainly lie in difficulty in NPOV and satyagraha rather than "deep understanding." NPOV in disguise may be unreal and unjust. Wikipedia and academia of ivory towers at large may not be an exception of greedy vested interests, conservatism, and even evil obscurantism against enlightenment. In this regard, those 99% worldwide may like to know how honest and brave you in that capacity would respond to self-interests and self-sacrifices of native English speakers. No English project may be their monopoly but our global lingua franca, in spite of our local ones. Thanks. -- KYPark [T] 05:42, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Voting for full custodianship

 * as recommending mentor. --SB_Johnny talk 09:39, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * per discussions with the candidate regarding our policies, candidate does not understand Wikiversity traditions. I would support continued probationary custodianship, if he agrees to Standard stop agreement. He has not done actual damage, and does useful work, though he's particularly touchy. I will ask relevant questions above. --Abd 12:50, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * . thenub314's candidacy is unusual also in having had more than one mentor. I think what thenub314 agreed to in his candidacy is more thorough than the agreement Abd wishes thenub314 to agree to now. thenub314 helps Wikiversity participants to understand how to do things, focuses on how things are in the now, works towards consensus, and encourages other people to work towards consensus, which may be more important than what one person's interpretation of how things are and how we got there is. I think thenub314 attempts to understand people's perspectives and what they want though, even perspectives he doesn't necessarily agree with. -- dark lama  13:58, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * - he should have been made a full sysop a long time ago. Anything else is silly. Ottava Rima (talk) 23:51, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I've been impressed by Thenub314's recent work, and in particular to how Thenub314 has been responding to questions (both here and elsewhere) and handling some of the recent problems. - Bilby 22:36, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I have been reading the candidates statements both regarding what is going on at meta with 'Global bans' and answers to Abd's questions. I believe another period of probation would be beneficial for the candidate. As a volunteer, and with respect to volunteerism, there is the great opportunity to be objective regarding all aspects of WMF, especially from the WV point of view. Volunteers do not 'work for meta'. I believe the candidate needs to reflect on this a bit more to shore up the volunteer within the custodian. Thenub314 is correct that force should never even be implied should a global ban come down that is disagreed with. My only other two reasons for suggesting an additional probationary period is the handling of user/instructor Dmoreno1899. A previous custodian had already begun interacting with the instructor regarding copyright status of uploaded images for course use by students, but the first custodian did not delete any images. Thenub314 stopped by, presumably to help, put more images up for deletion, then deleted them after the customary month. Yes, the candidate was probably following policy, but whether admitted to or not by the uploader there is I believe an implied copyright transfer to free use whenever anyone uploads to resource space rather than user space. If the uploader were to claim later that they did not mean free use I do not think it would stand up anywhere. I mention this because course materials that may be in use, have been in use, or will be used are now gone. The instructor has to upload again, or upload anew. In this specific instance I disagree with Abd that the candidate has done no harm. Lastly, I encourage our custodians to enjoy working together. Please feel free to drop by to possibly assist any other custodian. I hope that the candidate communicated with the first custodian in the image copyright matter with instructor Dmoreno1899. I agree with Abd's dropping by to assist, I encourage all custodians to do so, I heartily endorse them doing so and communicating with each other about what's happening. I believe the candidate has the potential to be an outstanding custodian. Marshallsumter 20:28, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
 * A WMF universalist, and trusted not to abuse the tools. — billinghurst  sDrewth  21:08, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
 * does a great job around here. Plus, Abd opposing is never a bad thing. -- Simone 23:26, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I know that this !vote will be dismissed as "sour grapes" or "trolling" or some such dismissive term, but I felt that I should speak about past errors made by the candidate. When I successfully sought a Wikibooks override of an out-of-process global lock on my account, imposed by one rogue bureaucrat on Meta (who shortly thereafter retired in a huff), Thenub314 appeared from nowhere to contend that not enough time (two weeks?) had been allocated to a review of my request, and he variously warned that all manner of problems might arise from my being unblocked on Wikibooks.  Well, it was considered by the community that plenty of time had been allowed, and in hindsight we can see that literally no piece of the sky has fallen on the basis of my return to either Wikibooks or Wikiversity.  In fact, the net result since August 2010 has been the addition of good content like this and this, and little problem of any kind at all.  In short, I am gravely concerned that Thenub314's fealty to bullying tactics exerted on Meta will be a net detriment to Wikiversity and other Wikimedia projects.  Until we have a clearer picture of where Thenub314 stands on how blindly we must follow decrees issued on Meta, I cannot in good conscience recommend in his favor. -- Thekohser 17:14, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Right now I don't feel that Wikiversity is an environment that I feel comfortable working in. But, on occasion I check in to browse and run into some actions/edits done by Thenub314 that make me really want to come back and contribute more regularly. --HappyCamper 23:11, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Closure
It is just over 5 days now since the nomination of thenub314 for full custodianship. There has been active discussion and voice from the community, expressing some disagreement about whether thenub314 should be a full custodian.

My general impression of the discussion and voting is support due to useful performing of custodial administrative duties, with some reservations expressed in particular about how thenub314 would be likely respond as a WV custodian to possible un/blocking of user accounts subject to global bans. thenub313's responses suggest a careful and thoughtful approach, primarily following local consenus. Exactly how Wikiversity should respond in such situations is unclear and undergoing further discussion, separately.

There are seven users voting support. This includes a mixture of regular and not-so-regular editors. There seems to be appreciation of thenub314's cross-wiki experience, working towards consensus, and level-headedness.

There are three users voting oppose. This includes one vote for extended probation, one oppose mainly on the basis of response to global ban questions, and one oppose based on past editing mostly on WB and global ban response concerns.

✅ thenub314 is now a full custodian. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 10:57, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
