Spreadsheets/Spreadsheet challenges

The following spreadsheet challenges are designed to flex your spreadsheet skills. The idea is simple: use your favourite spreadsheet program to re-create the document displayed in the picture for each challenge (using formulas where noted)!

The data for each challenge will need to be entered by you (unless some data is provided in the challenge) and provides a good opportunity to practise your keyboarding skills.

Note: You can right-click on any image and open it up in a separate window to see a larger version. If you then want to print the image you can then click on the "Download high resolution version" link on that page.

Challenge 1: Formatting and basic formulas
You're in the business of selling some soccer apparel on the weekends while your little brother plays his games! Your challenges is to create the spreadsheet displayed in the picture with the data provided below.

Notes:
 * The data in columns A-D will need to be entered by you.
 * Columns E-F require you to enter a formulas (and you should make use of the Autofill feature).
 * The total profit and average price will also require a formula (Note: should be "Average selling price").
 * You might like to review the intro tutorials on entering formulas at Roadmap to Excel 2003 Training

Challenge 2: Creating a chart
Building on your data from the previous challenge, use your spreadsheet software to re-create the chart shown here on a separate worksheet.

Notes:

 * You might like to review the tutorials under the heading "A picture is worth a thousand words" at Roadmap to Excel 2003 Training

Challenge 3:
TBD

Challenge 4: Absolute vs Relative Cell referencing
Your challenge is to create a new worksheet (in your Challenges workbook) and add your 3-times tables as shown in the image. The key is to add a single formula that you can then autofil for the whole column.

Extra Challenges

 * Insert more columns to create a table that shows not just the 3-times-tables, but right through to the 12-times-tables.
 * Only for the super keen: See if you can enter one formula that can be autofilled either down for the whole column, or across for the whole row! Not for the feint hearted (and not required, just if you're keen!)

Notes:
 * The tutorial Get to know Excel: Enter formulas from Microsoft provides an excellent explanations and practise activities

Challenge 5: If formulas - calculating a formula sometimes
Add a GST column (General Sales Tax) to the challenge to the spreadsheet from Challenge 1, in between the Item column and the Cost price column, with the following data:

This should show that the Drink bottle and Baseball cap are the only items that are GST free (and have a "No" value in the GST column.)

Your challenge is to add a "Selling Price (GST)" column (after the "Selling Price ($)" column) with a formula that adds 10% to the GST Items only.

Challenge 6: More formulas and references
Create a spreadsheet to calculate the pay for staff at Lawson Swimming Pool for the 6-week holiday season. There are 12 casual staff employed at the pool. Staff members under 18 are paid at the Junior rate of $10.50 per hour. Those 18 or over are paid at the Senior rate of $15.25 an hour. Make up names for the 12 employees. Put the pay rates in a table at the top of the spreadsheet.

You will need columns for:
 * Staff name
 * Date of Birth
 * Week 1 Hrs
 * Week 1 Pay
 * Week 2 Hrs
 * Week 2 Pay
 * Week 6 Pay
 * Total pay for season
 * Total pay for season

Notes:

 * You might like to review the tutorial "Plan payments and savings by using financial formulas" at Roadmap to Excel 2003 Training (this will help you learn lots of extra stuff too!)

Extra tasks:

 * Your spreadsheet should also calculate total wages for all staff and the average wage paid to staff (for each week as well as for the whole season).
 * Protect the whole worksheet except the cells to enter the hours worked.

Content development projects  One of the great inventions at Wikipedia is the "wikiproject". At Wikipedia a wikiproject is a set of pages devoted to content development for a particular subject. Wikipedia has an extensive guide for how to make and run a wikiproject. An aspect of the wikiproject phenomenon that I have never understood is the "WikiProject Council". My initial awareness of the Council was when I noticed that there was an attempt to make people submit proposals or requests for new wikiprojects. I'm sad to say that I even voted to have one particular wikiproject launched even though I do not understand how anyone claims the authority to regulate the start of wikiprojects.

Wikipedia has a "Directory" of wikiprojects that I find most interesting because there is a hierarchy of layers such as Science which contains individual wikiprojects such as Molecular and Cellular Biology. At Wikiversity we have Schools and Topics. Given the amount of traffic there, I am tempted to start with a make-over of School:Computer Science, but another possibility would be to start with a Topic page such as Topic:Computer Programming. I feel like there should be distinctive looks for School and topic pages. Wikipedia has a flat template (Template:WikiProject), but I'd rather have something like what is used here.

Draft talk:Operating system/Operating Systems/Linux

To characterize Ubuntu as "popular for its inclusion of non-free software" is a gross mischaracterization. What about NewsForge: Ubuntu says no to non-free video drivers for Feisty? Both Debian and Ubuntu are firmly behind free software, but Ubuntu's focus on regular releases and more effort put into dealing with new and desktop users naturally makes it more attractive to people looking for those things. And yes, there are some differences in what Ubuntu includes and what Debian includes, and Debian tends to take a harder line on keeping non-free software out of its distribution. We geeks and distribution watchers might think this is of tantamount importance, but it really is secondary to the primary issue of who each distribution caters to. Ben Armstrong 12:05, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

The above comments are quite correct. However I don't think the original writer meant to imply that 'inclusion of non-free software' in itself makes Ubuntu popular. I have made heavy changes to the first few paragraphs of this article. I believe they are better but are unlikely to be perfect! I've also changed the distribution list a little to correct Ben Armstrong's concerns. Unixtastic 22:07, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:International Relations/International System and Strategic Weapons

Thank you for you great job ! I only have a question about the naming of this page : I don't understand why its title includes the concept of "international system"... It seems it's going to include some information about "strategic" weapons (Means of delivery, types of warheads, targeting plans, assets, etc.) but that's just "Strategic Weapons", wouldn't it be confusing to add some comments about the interaction between weapons and the international system ? Moreover, the mere term of "strategic weapons" has been criticized by authors like Colin S. Gray or Edward N. Luttwak, since what makes a weapon truly tactical or strategic is the way it is used and its target, not its technical specifications. But this is another kind of problem...--CorentinB 18:49, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for your useful comments and observations, the page is not yet finished though....im still working on it...its going to include some info about types of warheads, means of delivery etc but also about the way in which strategic weapons are used in order to change/shift the balance of power between states-actors in the international system......im aware of this critique about the term "strategic weapons that" you mentioned and i am going include it in this page later on but "strategic weapons" is quite widely accepted as a term so i had to use it in order to categorize these types of weapons....Again, thank you very much.........--Aspiliotop 15:01, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

 * You're welcome, thank you for these details. Please, so as to be as precise as possible, could you insert the (future) table of contents for this page ? Even a rough draft could be useful, so as to know what's going to be right there. Thanks in advance ! -- CorentinB 15:46, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

this is a good idea, i will work on a future table of contents, i hope in a few days it will be ready..........when ready it will be posted here, discussion page.......--Aspiliotop 14:23, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

This is a first draft, any comments would be useful

International System and Strategic Weapons

1 Introduction

2 Nuclear Weapons

3 Offensive Ballistic Missiles 3.1 Types of Offensive Ballistic Missiles 3.2 Missile Strategic Advantages 4 Antimissile Systems 4.1 Nuclear Antimissile Systems (examples) 4.2 Antiradar Systems 5 Nuclear Balance and Deterrence 5.1 Deterrence 5.2 Mutual Deterrence 5.3 Mutual Nuclear Deterrence Epilogue- role in the International System

--Aspiliotop 20:08, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Thank you. Well I think I'm going back to my first post here: In order to write homogenous and clear articles we should separate the weapons (ballistic missiles, BMDs, warheads, etc.) and the theoretical constructions like deterrence. By the way, I've already found an article entitled "Nuclear strategy" included in the School of Strategic Studies curriculum. Why not editing this page Nuclear Strategy, since it's already part of a greater project ? --CorentinB 21:39, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

yes, further separation is needed, this is only a first draft and clearly has to be improoved.......please dont be afraid to edit it too......i agree that the "Nuclear Strategy" page may need editing too but should also be maintained this page....the reason is that we may be talking about similar issues but the approach is different......The term International System suggests an International Relations point of view which may be quite different from the one that can be found in Strategic Studies....Terms like hegemonic state/war, balance of power etc which belong more in an International Relations context are not common in Strategic Studies or are used in a different way....also strategic weapons consist a wider category than nuclear weapons and we cant really add strategic weapons under the headline "nuclear strategy" so serious editing should be done in that case.......but i think this issue should be discussed in the Nuclear Strategy discussion page.......waiting for your important suggestions.......--Aspiliotop 22:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:International Relations/Classical Realism

I think several authors don't fit really well in that category : Zbigniew Brzezinski, Sun Tzu, Samuel Huntington. They are classics indeed, but hardly contributed to the classical realism thought. --CorentinB 18:54, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

 * classical realism is not just a theory but a wider stream of thought, please dont hesitate to visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realism_(international_relations) - Aspiliotop 15:11, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Political - not classical - realism is a broad stream of thought, which includes Classical realism among tons of subcategories. If you check the page you mention - which I didn't know, thanks - Hungtington is not mentioned anywhere and Brzezinski is in the "Realism in Statecraft" subtitle, not the "Classical realism" one. I don't really understand why Sun Tzu is labelled a "Political realist" (surely that's part of the SunTzumania) but he's not introduced as a "Classical realist". Not more than Hobbes, Machiavelli, Clausewitz or Thucydides. They may be seen as spiritual fathers of Classical realism, bringing their philosophical background to Morgenthau and his colleagues (however, Thucydides' case is not that clear, check Richard Ned Lebow's work on that).

 * Classical realism appeared in reaction to the clear failures of the liberal and idealist endeavours initiated with the creation of the League of Nations. It laid down the bases of the realist theory of international politics, introducing (and, more rarely, creating) key concepts such as "anarchy", "self help", "balance of power", etc. So I don't know if what you want to talk about is classical realism or political realism, but my opinion is that something has to be changed, either in the title or in the contents... --CorentinB 15:40, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Thank you for your valuable observations, according to E. Kouskouvelis in "International Relations:Introduction" Poiotita Editions 2004 page 59, Hobbes, Machiavelli, Clausewitz and Thucydides and Brzezinski gave the spirit to this theory meaning that they are not classical realists but some of the main ideas of classical realism can be found in their work, books..........That was what i meant by "derives from the thought".........But please dont be afraid to edit the page if you think its not clear enough.......

 * Thucydides is considered to be one of the "fathers" of classical realim and terms and ideas such as anarchy, survival of the state, state seeking security,national interest, state's need for military and economic power, balance of power can be found for the first time in Thucydides Peloponnesian War which is a great study of International Relations in a bipolar international system .....It would be interesting to study Thucydides from the original text in ancient Greek language because even the best translations are comfusing especally concerning ancient politics and international relations issues........

 * Kouskouvellis also in "International Relations:Introduction" states that classical realism and political realism are the one and the same....i agree only 50% because of the fact that classical realism is part of political realism but also embodies the most important common key assumptions of the realist theories and many other theories derive from classical realism theory.....for this reason its sometimes comfusing.........i think in order to make it clear it would be better to improve this page by editing it......and add or create a "political realism" part....please feel free to edit as much as you want, and thanks again .......--Aspiliotop 18:18, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for these details, maybe I'll edit that page later if I find enough time and courage ! About what Kouskouvellis wrote in his book, well I totally disagree. I'm not an addict of abusive categorizing with which realism is particularly concerned (see how many theories have been labelled "something-realist" in these last 15 years), but there are distinctions which are obviously necessary and meaningful... CorentinB 19:08, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree with u about the "something- realist" theories, in the end i think they all belong to greater and larger categories and small differenses shouldnt justify a different naming, but thats a more general problem that has to do with the nature of International Relations Theories and Political Sciense......dont worry got problems finding time myself, i do find your interest very inspiring though....in case you do find some time please visit International Relations discussion page, there is a first draft of a table of contents.....--Aspiliotop 20:23, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Which page are you talking about, please ? I've checked International Relations and Introduction to International Relations but there were no discussion and no new table of contents... uh, did you mean Strategic Weapons and int'l system ? --CorentinB 21:26, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

yeah sorry for putting you into so much trouble, thats what happens when working long hours.......you found it though......sorry again--Aspiliotop 22:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called ClGrhm. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name ClGrhm~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 23:32, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Extraterrestrial life/Xenolinguistics

Thesis: All processes or formalisms that resemble arithmetic are identical to arithmetic, or else unthinkably complicated and arbitrary. This is why we can communicate perfectly about numbers.

Xenolinguistics is the scientific study of languages of non-human intelligences. Publications in this field tend to be speculative as few people have made the claim to have understood an alien language, at least not reliably.

Northern Arizona University/Philosophy of Law/Discussion of Online Texts/Weeks 1-4

Cassondra Taylor 01/27/07 Critical question #1 In Philosophy in the Debates at the United States Constitutional Convention of 1787, page115, Edmund Randolph is reported as condemning “the construction of the Senate based on the peerage of the States [as] being a stroke for aristocracy.” I take this to mean that Mr. Randolph feared a Senate comprised of wealthy and educated elite apart from, to use modern terminology, the blue-collar society to which most citizens belong. An aristocracy insensitive or even unaware of the political position, ideals, and desires of the majority of Americans would be the result. Has the aspiration to a real democracy, a government for The People and not just for A Few People been undermined by the establishment of a Senate? I am curious to know if more harm than good has come from what in theory-a representative group of people installed to keep a check on the Executive branch-was a system designed to ensure Just legislation. I take it to be the case that the Senate and by extension the government as a whole has become something of an aristocracy, to the point of producing such Families as the Kennedys and the Bushes. However, as the Senate is a relatively constant changing pool of power has it really undermined any attempt at truly representing the people or is it in fact a descriptive cross-section of political representation?

Karlie Knudtsen Critical Question #3: Short Critique of Pluralism

Theories of Constitutional Interpretation: Section I, seeks to “make a Pluralistic theory the best candidate for a general theory of constitutional interpretation” (151). Justice “Marshall [who pioneered a pluralist approach] and his contemporaries were familiar with a number of different sources of law besides the Constitution: the common law, the law of nations, civil law, and more specialized sources such as equity” (145). Thus, pluralist theories “converge around the following methods of interpretation: consulting the text of the Constitution, the intent of the Framers, precedent, inferences from the structure of the Constitution as a whole, and the national ethos or tradition” (148). In fact, all “pluralistic theories. . . recognize at least two legitimate methods of interpretation- text and precedent- in addition to the particular methods on which they lavish most of their attention” (151). Griffin’s advancements concerning pluralism seek to reconcile the many different sources of law and methods of interpretation to create a complete and consistent theory for understanding “the unique nature of the Constitution as a blend of law and politics” (145).

Attempting to reconcile all of the different sources of the law and methods of interpreting the laws arising there from poses a problem. Accepting pluralism as a general theory of interpretation and ipso facto excluding singular or neoteric methods or theories does not provide for circumstances where methods conflict. For example, the efflorescence of American and international societies creates norms, values, and ideals that might come into conflict with the original intentions of the framers of a constitution. How would standardized pluralism adjudicate in situations like that? Furthermore, given dynamic and rapidly developing legal, political, and moral understandings, adoption any specific form of interpretation, even pluralist, might stunt the forming of a better democracy or fail to consider new situations that are unaccounted for even in the enumerated pluralist methods. It also must be noted that pluralism was one of the first theories of interpretation, adopted by Justice Marshall and his peers, that was outmoded as new ideas and resources for understanding the Constitution, such as Madison’s Federal Convention notes, became available in favor of more modern or singular methods. Perhaps, there was a good reason for that which ought to be considered before jumping into an accepted theory of interpretation and threatening the development, justification, and further legalization of any constitution.]

Cassondra Taylor Critical Question #2

In McCulloch v. Maryland it is stated, “Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consist with the letter and spirit of the constitution, are constitutional.” Here it is being granted the government a limited ability to define it’s own powers; that although not enumerated if implied or legitimate it is a constitutionally granted power. It seems to me, however, that the last statement, “consist with letter and spirit of the constitution” is no longer a sufficient distinction for the assuming of powers and the exercise of various means. This now seems to be the point of contention in many respects. Must /can a means or power be both within the letter and within the spirit of the constitution? Although many powers can be within the spirit of the law, must they also be somehow within the letter of the law? If they are not enumerated are they still in some respects included/implied in the letter of the law? These seem to be the question now argued.

User talk:Userunknown

Hi CorentinB, welcome to Wikiversity! I saw you editing User:User:CorentinB, but I think it's safe to delete that page now? If you've any other questions, I'll happily answer them - just leave me a note on my talk page. I'm adding some hopefully useful links below - cheers! Cormaggio beep 21:12, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I love you.
Yes, you're right, the page is history heavy. I'm a very history-oriented student and that's the angle I take on Strategy. I would love your insight from the theoretical/IR side and I think your suggestions are exactly what is needed on that page. Given my obvious historical bias, I tend to do a chronological overview and perhaps this is what has me stuck. I think what the page needs is a good once-over, cutting extraneous stuff that can go into the "Introduction to Military Hisory" class. We can keep only the bits of history that directly apply to the understanding of the theory. If I may be so bold, three courses are, in my mind, foundations to the study:

-Introduction to War History -Introduction to Political Science -Introduction to International Relations Theory

On this tripod of support, I think the Introduction to Strategic Studies has a sound start.

In my mind, the three themes can be carried on in future semesters: -Historiography -Statistical Methods for Political Science -Critical Theory and Challenges to Realist Thought

You and I will likly see eye to eye, judging by your putting Waltz at the top of the book list. I was trained in Classical Realism. Perhaps it would be good to temper that with our friend over in Peace Studies, who, I think, may have a better background in Critical Theory. The Intro to Strategic Studies wouldn't be complete without a section on State-Centric versus Human Security, per example.

I will be looking over your changes to see if I get inspired!--Dnjkirk 16:37, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Thank you so much for your comments ! :) I'll try to make some changes to the Introduction to Strategic Studies course ASAP. I'll have some comments on the whole curriculum offered by the School, like including more "History of IR/Diplomatic history" as an introduction, since I've seen too many students knowing who were Clausewitz and Hans J. Morgenthau without being able to give correctly the beginning and ending dates of the two World Wars (well, haven't seen many of them in absolute terms, but even one is definitely too many), or being convinced that the nazis were responsible for the First World War. --CorentinB 23:21, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

SSS
Hey Corentin!

Thanks for the welcome! I will look around, and make any changes I think necessary - so jump in if you disagree with me! The Howard and Paret version - hmmm! I realise many scholars like it, although I feel a lot of that is scholarly laziness, just accepting that new is always better. Howard and Paret are great military historians, but it doesn't mean that we should take their word on Clausewitz. I do acknowledge in that note that they are celebrated, but ask that people use their own judgement, which I think is entirely right in an academic setting.

Thanks once again, and I really look forward to working with you!

Template:Collection/doc

An infobox for Java collections.

Syntax
All parameters are required.

 * name — The name of the collection. Automatically put in a monospace font by the template.
 * ordered — Whether the collection is ordered
 * access — Whether the collection is random-access (Random), LIFO (FILO), FIFO, etc..
 * key — How elements are retrieved. "Index" is appropriate for msot subinterfaces of Collection; lists should use "Iterator"; "Object" should be used for maps.
 * duplicates — Whether duplicate elements are allowed
 * impl — Standard implementation(s) of the collection. Not automatically put in monospace by the template; this should be done manually with the code template.

An additional parameter, type, specifies whether the collection is an interface or implementation (class); however, it is optional and defaults to Interface.

How They Had Fun: Culture and Context in the United States, 1900-1960

I aim to create a course that surveys pop culture either from 1900 to 1960. It'll be a fun excuse to watch movies, listen to music, and try to the view the world from a perspective different from the one we see with our 21st century eyes! Be prepared to shed those preconceptions of the past as stuffy and no fun as modern is merged with old. Silent films meet Youtube and the wild crazy jazz tunes of yesteryear meet iPod. Why should fashion designers be the only ones who resurrect the old in the context of the new? Vive vintage! Pop the cork - it's bound to be a great year.

Advanced Java/Java.util.List

A List is a subinterface of java.util.Collection that keeps its elements ordered (like an array) and allows duplicate elements (also like an array). In fact, the main difference between an array and a list is that arrays are fixed-width, but lists can grow and shrink on demand.

How They Had Fun: Culture and Context in the United States, 1900-1960

 * Part of the School of History.

Introduction
If the thought of history has ever been daunting to you before, or if you've ever looked at history as a series of names and dates, it is time to review your preconceptions. This course aims to be informative, intriguing, and most of all - accessible.

Be prepared to have your preconceptions of the past blown away! In this course (currently under development) we'll dive into the popular culture of the first half of the 20th century and have a look at how they did it up back in the day. We'll merge modern with old. No Model Ts for us - we'll use the internet as the main vehicle to transport us from the dawn of the 20th century to the conclusion of the 1950s. Along the way we'll pick up information on the films, music, and fashion that captured the hearts of the masses in each decade. We'll also see how these popular ideas and items were created and produced within the context of their times.

Think the Roaring Twenties were all Charleston dancing and wild parties? Believe the 1950s were overflowing with conformity and repression? These stereotypes have origins in reality, but be prepared to see the years through an entirely different lens. It's all a part of the time travel journey.

Syllabus, Or: How to climb the mountain of knowledge
It is up to you how much you wish to delve into the decades. Attack all the topics in a straight shot, or sample the decades as appetizers to be savored – it’s up to you. Tackling a decade a week would be a good strategy. If you plan on going the distance and time traveling from 1900 to 1960 I would recommend going in order. History is a progression with interconnected events. It makes much more sense when taken in the order it originally occurred in. At the end there are some questions for reflection on themes in the course. You’ve gotten through a lot by that point – take the time to look back over the empire of knowledge you’ve built, and admire it for a moment. Those last questions are meant to help you do just that.

The first section is intended as a compliment to the course to help you get the most out of it. For those who have taken a history course in the past it may be familiar - feel free to skip ahead (although the second part on culture may still be useful). For those who are new to history as a field of study, or need a quick refresher, it is here for your reference:
 * What you should know about history
 * What are primary and secondary sources
 * How to give credit where it is due (citing sources)
 * If plagiarism were alcohol, we'd be teetotalers: Don't be a criminal - the world wants to be witness to the birth of your prose, not to your copy and paste skills.
 * What you should know about culture
 * Some theories in culture
 * Culture as a relatively new topic in history

Breaking it down by decade, the course's meat and potatoes:
 * General reading (and how to acquire it all)
 * 1900: Progress and Teddy Bears
 * 1910: Out of Isolation and onto the Dance Floor
 * 1920: Consumption and Conservatism
 * 1930: Depression and Cultural Riches
 * 1940:
 * 1950:

Course themes and some questions to ponder:
 * will follow the addition of the course's details

Note: ''The details are currently being hammered out and a more thorough outline to give a better idea of the course is just around the corner. If you have an interest in the past and information to contribute, join the ride and show us how they had fun and why it matters!''

Hi RoseGraham, and welcome to Wikiversity! I've just taken a look at How They Had Fun: Culture and Context in the United States, 1900-1960, and I have to say it looks fascinating! Is it from your own initative, or is it connected to a face-to-face course? Are you an educator in "real life" by any chance? (Not that that question matters so much, of course.) In any case, I'm very enthused by this course, and will follow with interest. there are other projects about history that could really start to bring it alive, such as History of Ireland through Song - let's see how it all develops. I'm adding the standard welcome template below, which has some links which I hope you find useful. Let me know if you've any questions. Cheers! Cormaggio beep 22:33, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Oops
Hey, it's no problem! For me, editing a wiki means making mistakes - it's the old cliché, but it's how we learn. The main thing is having an attitude that making mistakes isn't a problem, but a process. Anyway, glad you're of the latter mindset - see you 'round.. Cormaggio beep 02:03, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

MediaWiki interface  For a long time I have been thinking that it might be wise to change the "edit" button to "edit this page" as is used at Wikipedia (see MediaWiki talk:Edit). It was also suggested that the "user page" button be changed to "about me".

The changes to my user page, which allowed me to replace "user page" with "about JWSchmidt" were made on the MediaWiki:Nstab-user page, by writing the following: about.

is a Magic word. This solution doesn't work for subpages.

''Note: Other pages in the MediaWiki namespace that used to allow similar changes to other parts of the interface are apparently not used anymore. In fact, there are may such pages in the MediaWiki namespace that were deleted early in January 2007.''

In an effort to find out how to modify elements of the interface such as the "user talk page" button of the user namespace, I went to the System Administrator's Handbook. Which states:
 * "How do I change the content page, discussion, etc. tags at the top of the page?
 * The file includes/SkinTemplate.php contains a function that builds the list called buildContentActionUrls. It decides what tabs to include for a given page and what code to run when the user clicks on a tab."

I suspect that you need to be a developer to edit "includes/SkinTemplate.php". MediaWiki documentation is being moved to its own website. I could not find what "SkinTemplate.php" is or how to modify it.

 * Yes, you do need FTP privileges to edit SkinTemplate.php. Skintemplate.php is located in the "includes" folder which in most wiki's is in the "wiki" folder. Hope this helps you, because your page didn't help me :( I still don't know how to change those tabs...68.93.142.153 12:36, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

draft for .o1 level Space Traffic Control in initial engineering prototypes of gameplay

Voice Pilot
 * "Spaceport Control this is Freighter Alpha X-ray fourteen requesting clearance to commence countdown to launch."

Voice Tower
 * "Negative Freigther Alpha X-ray fourteen. Hold for incoming vertical landing.

Voice Pilot
 * That's a Roger Tower, Alpha X-ray fourteen is holding.

Background roar of rocket thruster splash as other spacecraft lands

Voice Tower
 * Alpha X-ray fourteen you are cleared for launch. Window closes in ten minutes.

Voice Pilot
 * Roger that Tower, Alpha X-ray fourteen is counting down at to launch at this time.... 5 ...4...3.....2....1.... we have ignition!

Background roar of own vehicle here.

What is needed, as many voices as possible without putting same distinctive voice in both the vehicle and the tower at the same time.

A pssoible/suggested approach
 * Find a friend, parent or sibling to read the parts with you in the same room as you record or separately in a Jam Session.  Help may be available by pickup or appointment from audio engineering.  A third way is read both parts yourself, make one a cartoon character caricuture of yourself or someone you know (no spurious cruelty please).  Please list other ways here as you think of them.

By all mean adlib and add Foley Effects, our audio and programming guys will be exercising the mod rights to chop up recording into animation clips and interactive varying dialogues. Think Wing Commander. Please use the most liberating of licenses when you upload.

draft material for .5 release
An advanced model for space based ATC. : see also STC subpage
 * The model is based upon our team's current understanding of how earthbound ATC is structured. The suitability of this model depends on how advanced our spacecraft are but Orbital Space can be a bit cluttered by drone satellites, debris from previous space travel missions, comet tails, and so on. We are using very advanced spacecraft because  we wish to ease real constraints a bit to allow for more fun in the game.

Background information:
 * U.S. FAA procedures and regulations
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_phonetic_alphabet
 * http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Subject_4_Air_Law
 * http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Subject_16_Air_Law

 * Maybe check flight School manuals
 * We might also want to look into what the Orbiter sim people use?
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Regulations_for_Preventing_Collisions_at_Sea
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICAO

 * UK Railroad communication codes

(Talking point: What about radio delays?) Very good point! Initially in the simplest games we shall ignore that the electromagnetic propagation of modern communcation carriers is limited by Einstein's light speed limitation. Later as Lunar Boom Town entrepreneurs need accurate simulators for business planning purposes we may try to develop more advanced games that closely reflect realities such as lightspeed and modern spacecraft capabilities. For now we are ignoring radio delays unless someone would like to make a case for them now and help put them in.

Space Trafic control has various levels
 * Level 1 was individual space ports
 * This controls the launch windows and landings but essentialy the aim is to put spacecraft into an entry point for orbit spaced.

 * Level 2 is Orbit space - ( Kind of like a 'metropolitan' airspace?)
 * Essentialy this handlles local traffic and approach control

 * Level 3 is Flight lanes, - these are like air lanes...
 * But note these take account of 3d rather than 2D (and vary based on planetry position

 * Level 4 Is the space equivlant of an Instrument Flight Rules zone
 * In this model you also have 'Red' regions I.E No fly areas which are either permenant (usally for the safety of craft) and temporary ones (due to asteroids and so on).

Eventually there will be an advanced form of Level 3, known coloquially as 'Darkside control' which controls subspace jumps..

Gameplay: First we load acquired cargo, then we dodge trash on cargo run instead of blast asteroids, unless and when a NEO wanders in at us. Pirates are uncommon but around.

We need to keep in mind that in game programming the trick is keep game simple enough we can get it started then built towords better simulations if it enhances fun and educational goals of the game.

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 Keops. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Keops~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 23:35, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Epistemology

Epistemology deals with the question of how "knowledge is acquired" and how reliable that knowledge is. In essence, it is the theory of knowledge, and has focused on how knowledge relates to concepts such as truth, belief, and evidence. Epistemology is a very general topic and is constantly debated.

A good place to start in the study of epistemology is the definition of "knowledge". A simple and old answer is "a justified, true belief". However, Edmund Gettier famously argued against that definition.

Wittgenstein - Language Games

Language Games
Wittgenstein believed that every word we speak is all part of a language game. For Wittgenstein language games were similar to an inside joke. You would only get the joke if you were in on the joke. This is similar to language, you will only understand the language being used if you are familiar with the language. That is why Wittgenstein believes that Religious language is meaningful, but only to the religious believers. They are all part of a group that regularly use that language, which has a deep meaning to them. Non-believers would not think that religious language is meaningful, because we are not involved in that 'game'. Wittgenstein refers to words as 'tools' because we use them to build our houses and as 'toys' because we play games with them. Language games are games open to coefficial language (not by standards of deprivation of soul food).

Ludwig Wittgenstein
Born 1889, died 1951. An Austrian born Cambridge scholar, Wittgenstein was involved in his early years with the Logical Positivists of the Vienna Circle. Wittgenstein left Philosophy for a while but was persuaded to return in the 1920s. Wittgenstein's return prompted a different way of looking at religious language, he no longer sought to prove "whether" language refers, but looked at the way in which language refers to things.

He decided that the best way to determine a word's meaning was to look at how it is used, and not to come up with a theoretical definition. Wittgenstein said this was about: "Getting back to the rough ground".

Context
"The individual words in a language name objects - sentences are a combination of such names. Every word has a meaning, it stands for something." Augustine Wittgenstein had accepted Augustine's way but later realized that context is needed to truly understand a word. Wittgenstein said that we restrict words if we try to define them out of their context. He said: "philosophical problems arise when language goes on holiday". Essentially, Wittgenstein is saying that taking language out of context renders it often useless and at the very least, hard to understand fully. He recognized that words have many different uses in different contexts.

Language Games
Words have meaning only in the context of a game. Whilst watching a football (soccer) match, this philosophical idea occurred to Wittgenstein. If a person with no prior knowledge of football is watching a game, to him it will seem very random and meaningless. For it to take meaning, he must first understand the rules of the game: there are two opposing sides, each has eleven players, each is trying to score against the other by putting the ball in the opposite net etc. Once he understands the overall context of the game then the men running around chasing a ball no longer seem mad but have meaning in the game.

So too, concluded Wittgenstein, is it with language. If one does not understand the context of the language and the rules that are imposed upon the specific discourse, then essentially, one cannot understand the words in their truest form. He acknowledged that people who understand the rules of one game (i.e. football) can find similarities in other games (i.e. Rugby) but essentially, these games are inherently different and thus to understand fully, one must understand the specific rules of that game and its differences from other games.

What Wittgenstein was saying was that language only has meaning in its specific context. When taken out of that context and put into a different one, it may not mean the same thing. Wittgenstein was warning us against prescriptivism and being too stuck in one way of thinking. Wittgenstein thought that one could not stand outside a game and legislate about it or attempt to impose the rules of another game - you cannot play basketball as if it's football! So too, he said that a player of one game could not criticize the player of another, without first learning the rules and entering into the game (i.e. people cannot criticize others' use of language without first understanding their full context and intended meaning).

Anti Realist
For Wittgenstein, language could be used correctly or incorrectly within the rules of the game, but primarily it is non - cognitive and its primary purpose is not to make factual statements. All forms of life have their own language and are therefore separate to each other. For Wittgenstein, language was an anti - realist truth (one that is a truth held by a particular group and thus is meaningful to them without requiring verification or falsification)

Exercises
1) Explain what is meant by the statement:  "philosophical problems arise when language goes on holiday".

2) What was Wittgenstein warning people about in devising the language games idea?

3) What did Wittgenstein write about the distinction between cognitive and non-cognitive processes?
 * Maybe we could say that Wittgenstein did not explicitly use the terms "cognitive" and "non-cognitive", but the idea of a non-cognitive foundation for language is implicit in his work.

CisLunarFreighter/Scripts and case studies/Radio communications/Space traffic control

Space Traffic Control.

Implementation Project
This is the project to build a real system based on this concept:

 * Implementation
 * /sample radio dialogues

Control Levels
Space Traffic control consists of various control levels.

Currently the levels are

 * Level 1 - Starports and spaceports, essentially local towers which handle landings and launches
 * Level 2 - Orbital Control, handling local Traffic and approach control for Spaceports
 * Level 3 - Space lanes, These are defined air lanes between major destinations.
 * Level 4 - Space based Instrument Flight Rules Zone...
 * Level 5 - Deep space. (i.e out of range of STC radio relays)

Normally most 'local' orbital traffic will never leave level 2 airspace. However, Earth<->Moon traffic will enter level 3 airspace.

For a craft entering higher level airspace from lower level airspace(i.e Level1 to level2), it is the responsibility of the higher level control to confirm entry with both the vessel and lower level control.

For a craft leaving higher level airspace for lower level airspace(i.e Level 2 to Level 1), It is the responsibility of the higher level control to advise lower level control of the vessel (and course) concerned. The craft must confirm this with lower level control, before higher level control can handover.

General procedure notes
All messages between STC are of the form " " For messages from the craft to the tower the callsign used is that of the vessel, with an additional (to ) being added for clarity.

STC operates on a shared channel, so it is not unusual to hear messages from other craft.

Radio procedure for civilian vessels is that messages are between STC and individual vessels. It is not usual procedure for 'civil' vessels to talk directly to one another.

STC however can request or authorise vessels to DCC (Delta-Charlie-Charlie) in some circumstances. Military/Police vessels are able to DCC without specific authorisation.

Launch Procedures (level 1)
Launches are managed by local spaceports.

Civilian vessels are required to call into the tower before firing engines.

To call into tower vessels will issue their full call sign and a "Request Launch window" message

 * Papa Alpha Sierra - Sierra Foxtrot Zero Zero Request Launch Window

The tower will respond with ' Launch window granted '

 * Sierra Foxtrot Zero Zero Launch Window granted, closes in 10 minutes

Alternatively the Tower may need to hold a launch for a number of reasons.

 * Sierra Foxtrot Zero Zero Hold On Launch Sierra Foxtrot Zero Zero. Incoming landing

A craft is expected to acknowledge the launch window status prefixing with an 'Acknowledge' and read back any conditions assigned accurately

A 'Confirm' or 'Query' can be used to query details

 * Sierra Foxtrot Zero Zero - Acknowledge Launch closes in 10 minutes

 * Sierra Foxtrot Zero Zero - Acknowledge Hold, Awaiting release

 * Sierra Foxtrot Zero Zero - Confirm launch window close in 10 minutes?

A Tower releases a previous hold using a Release Hold message
 * Sierra Foxtrot Zero Zero - Release Hold

which the craft acknowledges.
 * Sierra Foxtrot Zero Zero - Confirm release.

Off limits space...
Restricted Airspace (for example Demios, Europa)

Space Patrol/ Star Corps
As well as other 'civil' vessels, military (Star Corps) and police vessels (Space Patrol) will be encountered. This link shows a spacecraft model available in 3dsmax source: http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Image:ECOHELVW.OGG

Star Corps(military/Coastguard) and Space Patrol(Police) use the call sign VIPR(Victor India Papa Romeo) with VIPR42 being used exclusively by Space Patrol.

Space Patrol interceptors work in pairs, this occurs regardless of the situation.

Space Patrol do NOT under normal conditions open fire first or shoot at civilian vessels, However by firing on, or acting suspiciously towards to Space Patrol or Star Corps vessels is NOT advised,  by doing so you will be classified as 'hostile' and actively hunted.

Some vessels are known 'hostiles', but in general these are rare. Known 'hostiles' will be intercepted usually without intervention from STC, however it is rare for vessels to be blasted out the sky.

In addition to 'security' Space Patrol also run the rescue service and have been known to escort 'troubled' vessels into some landing sites/bases.

Intercept Procedure
Whilst ALL civil vessels are required by STC regulations to carry IFF(Interogate Friend or Foe) equipment, this isn't foolproof, so for all intercepts a specific procedure exists. If 'intercepted' co-operate.

The intercept procedure is a follows:

 * To intercept, Space Patrol will overfly on the port and starboard sides of a vessel and execute a roll while doing so. While executing the role the Vipers will issue a 'CEPT ' message on all channels.

 * An intercepted vessel is REQUIRED to acknowledge CEPT's by repeating the call back to the VIPR's over the radio, and/or making a rocking motion (should radio comms be difficult).

 * If this is ignored - the overflight is repeated twice again with CEPT calls.

but cannot shoot to kill.
 * If a CEPT is ignored three times in succession, then VIPR's can shoot to disable.

If during an intercept, VIPR's receive hostile fire (derbies and sparks don't count), use of return fire by them is authorised in an attempt to disable. The cival craft firing weapons is NOT acknowledgement of an intercept.

Both Star Corps and Space Patrol take prisoners and have the power to board vessels. Its is ill-advised to ignore their requests.

Specialist codes
These are some 'special' codes you may hear in traffic control messages.

Some of these can be sounded phonetically, although voice version can also be used

 * VADER (V,A,D,R) - Unidentified rouge ship

 * V,I,P,R - Space Crops military vessel - (You don't mess with these!)
 * HAWK (H.A.W.K) -
 * HAWK 1  Presidential Transport.
 * HAWK 3  Presidential 'Yacht' Reserved call sign
 * HAWK 251 Royal Flight (United Kingdom)

 * STAR (S.T.A.R) - Diplomatic Vessel

Indications usually sounded vocally, but can also be phonetic if needed:
 * EVA -  I have persons active outside vessel
 * LAME - (to tower) I have partial loss of maneuverability
 * DEAD - (to tower) I have TOTAL loss of maneuverability
 * CHOKE - (to tower) I have loss of life support.

Declaring Emergencies
Sounded codes...
 * MAYDAY - Declares a critical emergency.
 * PAN   - Declares non critical emergency
 * DRILL - Used for training purposes to simulate emergencies.

Call Signs
In respect of Sol system call signs for spacecraft are centrally allocated in respect of civil vessels by Sol Central Registry.

Military vessels (Star Corps) and police (Star Patrol) use their own registry, with all police/military vehicles being assigned the callsign V,I,P,R (number) in respect of their interaction with civilian traffic.

Important Military//Police call signs to note are * VIPR 42 - Standard operating call sign for Sol Space Patrol. * VIPR 911 - Standard operating call for an emergency response * VIPR 505 - Search and Rescue.

Civilian Traffic callsigns consist of two parts.

The first is a three character vehicle class
 * H,E,V - Heavy freighter
 * F,T,R - Freighter
 * R,I,G - Rig - Freight.
 * T,D,R - Trader
 * P,A,S - Passenger Vessel, Large
 * P,E,R - Passenger vessel, Small
 * P,L,X - Pleasure craft, usually small.
 * O,O,K (Abbreviation of Cocoon)- Cryogenic suspension vessel, frequently unmanned.

Games Inspiring some Features

 * Asteroids
 * Elite
 * Lunar Lander
 * Nomad
 * Xpilot
 * Virtual Airport (Never published, producer out of business, user:mirwin has intellectual property rights to code and art)

The way we hope this to eventually work is we have a net of little space games that interact in a MUD (multi-user dungeon). We will possibly interface with JFreerails via a spaceport. There is a loading module with some educational and fun mass distribtion. Then comes Terran Takeoff (horizontal or vertical), both talking to STC, the asteroids/Xpilot, then talk with Lunar STC, lunar landing, mission is now complete.

We will have a lunar rover gamelet. JFreerails is already playable and I think easily added to for an interface to the spaceport. Subgames in cisLunarFreighter could be broken out as loading game, lunar lander take off or horizontal orbiter, both those talking to STC, then asteroids/xpilot, then talk to STC, lunar lander, mission complete, see what I mean by "little space games"

Base/Vehicle Operational Standards
have any ideas on how a pirate base would operate ...they would not use STC? 	mirwin: Well, a priate base would try to operate within STC as far as they could 	but they would have their own procedures... good point flyby's maybe necessary to identify or follow pirate ship in		STC has a special code VADR for unidentifed vessels 	VADR vessels behaving in a hostile manner and that don't respond to cept messages are liable to be disabled... 	mirwin: However operating a base outside STC rules is a serious matter... 	Star Corps have been known to be 'unpleasent' with rouge operators... hmm maybe a rover trip ground inspection of some kind 	Thats or a flyover... 	All 'legit' bases have to confirm to STC spec 	Like having certain mimumum equipment standards, radar etc 	Pirate bases of course might not have the same standard of equipment... there was an asteroid style game with gravity and bunkers ... good model for simple flyover prototype LSG 	'legit' cival bases also have to register... 	the Sol Registry containing at presnt abvout 30 known bases... 	Star Corps keeps it's own list of milatyr facilities ah good - players pick site and establish bases and facilities -- ties to Lunar Boom Town 	(sometimes these are shared with 'cival' ones) 	Or buy into common ones... 	The STC is in effect a bit like the FAA <ShakespeareFan00>	but in some areas it has more powers, and some less <ShakespeareFan00>	For example the STC can ground usafe vessels <ShakespeareFan00>	I don't think the FAA can canit? or buy abandoned miliatary! Imagine a flyover that turned from easy picking to lets get the hell out of here if we can! oh yes FAA shuts down unsafe in seconds <ShakespeareFan00>	mirwin: The millatry tends to hang onto it's fcailites... if they can spot it in paperwork and inspections <ShakespeareFan00>	STC also inspect facilites as well as vehicles... true - be rare abandond secret bases ...CIA types <ShakespeareFan00>	The Star Corps knows about some of these... but won't tell ;-)

Implementation Details

We could have a percentage reportig damage. Certain probably of blowing up when damaged. survivers to pick up after shp blows but player loses ship.

Friendly fire incidents occur when Star Patrol shoots civilian

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

Music of the 20th Century

The twentieth century brought about drastic changes in the way classical music was written and performed. Some composers pushed the preceding Romantic period music to more extended harmonies and fluid compositional form. Others decided to create totally new harmonic systems to create strikingly different music from that of their predecessors. Overall, this century brought about many innovations and ideas that both freed the composer from conventional restraints and brought about some of the fiercest debates on what music "is."

Talk:Network Administration

How detailed is this article supposed to be? Maybe it ought to be split into different sections... Actually, the wikiversity model specifies that Topics only contain a "table of contents" and then the actual content be presented on other pages, so that different courses can include the same information. Pnguyen 20:35, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

On one hand I agree with Pnguyen, in order to make the information on wikiversity more applicable to many different parent topics, the content should be located on their own pages; on the other if there is only a few paragraphs on for a subtopic, this hardly warrants giving it it's own page. Abfan1011 8:44, 1 June 2007

A standards section {perhaps the most important section} in this type of article is incomplete without pointing to cabling standards. The comment about the OSI model is an understatement and lacks NPOV. basically standards should take OSI breakdown and at each of the tear out standads lists, while a few things are a little messsy in this it is an opertunity to have a look at that too. All that said the previous comments make a good point so standards whould more likely be an article of it's own. it is still IMHO --Dementednetman 03:14, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

I would propose a "Common Network Services" section. Directory services, such as LDAP, X.500, and NIS could be put in this section along with services like SMTP, DNS, and NAS. Bmenking 18:04, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Welcome
While you've been on IRC for a bit, I'm glad to see you finally doing some learning projects. :) We should do a bit of scoping on the software that both wikio and wikicast will need, whether it be just docs/notes on existing stuff or actual new development.

technical question
"do we currently have the option with the current setup of transmission break in?" <-- I have that option in in the OSX version of version of MuSE (muse.dyne.org). I tried it on the old (slow processor) machine I am using and it was really horrible...either because I did not know what I was doing or it was beyond the capacity of my processor. For quality and reliability, I think it would be best to stream playlists directly from the icecast server. Under those conditions it might be possible do "transmission break in", but I'm not sure about that. Alternatively, someone could produce the audio stream from a more powerful PC or a different OS. The Macintosh version of MuSE is not really supported and seems to lack some of the documented features of the software. Also, as I recall, there was another type of software for making streams, but no Mac version. User:Moulton and User:Historybuff know much more about this stuff than I do. --JWSchmidt 22:30, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

 * "'break into' the transmission to make a suitable announcment, I will come up with some wording" <-- almost any content is welcome and I can add it to the audio stream on short notice. --JWSchmidt 18:45, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

I think that criminal trespass (ie to land) is probably a suitable topic for Wikipedia, and that a list could go there. This subject is discussed in the thirteenth edition of Smith and Hogan's Criminal Law at p 974 (at the end of a chapter on burglary and related offences under the heading of "other trespass offences"). That book suggests, as further reading on this subject, chapter 5 of The Law of Public Order and Protest, 2010, by P Thornton et al. The twelfth edition of Card, Cross and Jones: Criminal Law has sections on offences of "entering and remaining on property" and aggravated trespass from pages 349 to 356. So it is probably a notable topic. James500 (discuss • contribs) 21:01, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Double Redirects
Thanks for your help on the double redirects. We do have a bot that cleans those up. But if you'd like to help with some of the other Category:Wikiversity maintenance items, it would be most appreciated! -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 12:52, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Again: Please look at your edits, before saving them!
In this edit you have replaced  tags by smaller block, which does not exist. (What you meant was small block.) If you had bothered to look at your edit before saving it, you would have seen, that the whole paragraph was replaced by a red link. You have done this before, when you replaced working  tags by broken   tags. (See here.) Plase stop assuming that your edits should work, and instead use the show preview button. Watchduck (quack) 09:32, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

When you replaced  by Small block, have you made sure that the content did not contain equals signs or tags with attributes? See Template talk:Small block. --Watchduck (quack) 11:26, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Please provide SPECFIC examples, I was not finding many pages with small block and an equals sign still present. ShakespeareFan00 (discuss • contribs) 11:30, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Well, this template is almost unused. It's more complicated for X-smaller block. I would say that in Chapter navigation top you have a lot of trust, that all this stuff will never contain a forbidden character. (Equals signs are not forbidden in page names.) So especially there, I would rather have a styled div tag. But generally, I would not put pass large amounts of stuff as parameter into a template. Where templates really improve usability, it might be better to replace start and end tags separately (as I did with Collapsible START) . --Watchduck (quack) 12:35, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Ah, I realize you actually did that using  and  . --Watchduck (quack) 14:01, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Query does Wikiversity implement Template Data? There's a tool I use over on Wikisource to look for 'mangled' parameters included unescaped = signs? ShakespeareFan00 (discuss • contribs) 14:04, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

I assume he has a pattern-matching script that traverses the site and makes these minor adjustments. Kind of neat. Care to share the code? AP295 (discuss • contribs) 12:06, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

ShakespearFan00 maybe we should use IRC to agree on large chuncks to work on then establish pages here. It is too much work to clean up out of IRC. What do you think, we are making good progress either way. IRC might be better for groups of over three or four even with heavier editing load because of the conflicts saving to the database. Discuss, design page hiearchy, dispatch member with IRC logs, group continues to discuss until someone wants to take it to draft level? Might work for over three or four collaborating on same topic. I think we have to try it and find out when time comes. What do you think? Mirwin 20:49, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Carl von Clausewitz

I wonder if we really need to leave the italian version of Muhm's paper in the 'offline sources': IMHO the english & online version would be enough... --CorentinB 22:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Differences in the translations of On War
Given in this topic are two out of the vary many versions of On War in English, most of which take from one of the three major translations: (in chronological order) Col. JJ Graham, O. J. Matthijs Jolles and Howard and Paret.

Graham's translation was far closer to the original date of publishing of Vom Krieg than the latter two, with Jolles' translation being made during WWII and Paret and Howard undertaking theirs in the 1970s. It is the closest to the original, too, and this literal translation is actually a boost: you can tell from Graham more of what Clausewitz was thinking than you can with Howard and Paret. This can also be attributed to the chronology. Clausewitz.com considers Graham's translation to be 'long obsolete' - I disagree, and urge you not to take the advice of others too seriously (including mine!) and read the translations for yourselves.

Howard and Paret sparked a debate, still ongoing, with their translation. Rather than translating the famous line as 'war is the continuation of politics by other means', they changed 'poltics' to 'policy'. It is the opinion of Dr. Jan Willem Honig, an internationally recognised Clausewitz expert fluent in, among others, German and English, that this is just one of many examples of Howard and Paret taking Clausewitz out of context and being too free with their translation. This translation may be the 'standard translation' today, but exercise caution if you consider standard textbooks to be the benchmark!
