Wikiversity:Supporting Wikiversity participants

Identify and develop ways of supporting participants in becoming actively engaged with Wikiversity.

What happens when people visit Wikiversity
A quick look through the list of Wikiversity user accounts indicates that only about 1 of every 8 user accounts has anything on the user page for that account. Based on results with this tool, Wikiversity has had about 1,000,000 page hits, but there have only been about 40,000 page edits. For those Wikiversity visitors tracked by Alexa, the average visitor looks at about 5 Wikiversity pages.

What do these numbers mean? Many people who visit Wikiversity probably saw a link to Wikiversity on the main page of another Wikimedia sister project. It would be interesting to know what happens next. Based on results with the page hit tool, maybe as many as 1 in 7 visitors to the main page makes use of the browse page. The major portals that are listed on the main page also get a large amount of page hits. A large number of visitors apparently go from the Wikiversity main page to one of the main portals to a school page and then to a topic page. In most cases they probably verify that there is very little actual educational content for the topic that they are most interested in.

The question becomes, do the Wikiversity pages that are seen by most visitors make clear that it is up to those visitors to becoming actively engaged with Wikiversity and take part in a process by which they will help create the content of this wiki? What changes could be made to the Wikiversity main page, the major portals, the school pages and the topic pages that would help to get more Wikiversity visitors to actually edit Wikiversity pages?

Multiple tracks
There are several different types of visitors to Wikiversity. Some visitors are new to wiki websites, others have visited wiki websites but not edited and other Wikiversity visitors have experience editing. It might be constructive to provide each type of visitor with a special path towards participation in the Wikiversity project.

Newbie track. People who have essentially no understanding of how to participate as an editor of a wiki have special needs. I suspect that these visitors are least likely to stay around Wikiversity reading pages until they finally decide to participate. Wikiversity should have some kind of multimedia presentation that is entertaining and informs wiki newbies about how to participate and what the goals of the project are. The special path for these visitors could be
 * 1) reach a Wikiversity page
 * 2) watch a video that explains the project and how to participatesee:Wikiversity the Movie, Wikiversity Reports

Welcome, newcomers was designed to be a helpful introductory page for "newbies". Should the Main Page be more oriented around the needs of "newbies"? See: Main page design changes.

Student track. A significant number of students might be interested in joining something like a "study group" for one or more topic area that they are interested in. Students should be encouraged to describe their learning goals on their user pages, at topic pages and at pages such as Learning goals and Student union.

For those visitors who just want to find learning resources (without helping to make them), Wikiversity needs to have good portal pages. Wikiversity could have a ranking system such as the one at Wikibooks for indicating the level of completeness of learning resources.

Teacher track. There have been some great examples of teachers at conventional educational institutions making use of Wikipedia and Wikibooks. Increasingly, there are schools that seek to use online curricula (example). We need outreach and standing invitations for teachers to make use of Wikiversity resources. Providing a sense of "trust" in Wikiversity as an institution is important at all levels, but particularly important for teachers who need to have a professional contact.

Currently, the Main Page still links to Wikiversity teachers, but we also now have School and university projects which is linked to from Wikipedia:School and university projects and Wikibooks:Guidelines for class projects.

Experienced editor track. Why should an experienced editor contribute to Wikiversity rather than some other wiki? One approach to allowing experienced wiki editors to find their own answer to this question is to have Wikiversity-based "service projects" that would allow such editors to continue to work on improvement of other Wikimedia Foundation sister projects while making use of special resources available at Wikiversity.

Sometimes experienced editors have a short period of time to devote to editing. Wikiversity could have a system for "To-do lists" as exists at Wikipedia:To-do list.

Some experienced wiki editors also have expertise in specific academic areas. One way to attract such participants might be to have a new type of Wikiversity "functionary" that allows the community to recognize its experts and call upon them to perform certain special services for the community; see Review board.

Technical analysis

Technical Analysis abv:TA is study of "market action" (price action) to forecast future price with charts being used as a primary tool.

Technical Analysis is based on three premises

 * 1) Price discounting is all known information.
 * 2) Prices move in some Trend. (Reject Random walk theory, Discussed later)
 * 3) History repeat itself or Future is nothing but known past.

Price discounting is all known information

is the most important premises without which understanding of other two premises becomes difficult. price discounting is all known information means that price reflect true state of market. Shift in Demand and supply of a commodity affect price as well as volume then market always tend to move toward a stable state or stable price in other words a statistician would say "data tend to move to a central value" but a technician would rephrase this statement "if prices are rising then demand must exceed supply and fundamentals must be bullish likewise if prices are falling then supply must exceed the demand and market fundamentals must be bearish. this assumption also pertains to Efﬁcient Market Theory

Prices move in some Trend

Consider Price as force and Volume as mass, this premises exactly inherent Newton's first law of motion so more specifically a trend would continue until a reversal comes and change its direction, here trend mean any time span.

History repeat itself

Human factor is key factor in previous two premises too but here this assumption "history repeat itself" takes on more into the subject as human are greedy and afraid, they intend to repeat those actions that also worked in their past and don't repeat those actions (mistakes) if they never worked. you may relate this phenomena to "behavioral learning theory"

How to Add Contents (outline)
This course is being developed by consulting popular books available on TA, kindly be very specific about course outline, before adding any content or expending outline make sure your purposed content might be subheading of already created outline. Many professional certification on the subject follow standard outline.

Controversial Topics
Certainly this course is being developed to get a better understanding of technical Analysis NOT for improving your skills to invest or trade neither this course should claim such a thing. Technical Vs Fundamental analysis OR which indicator is best is NOT the theme of this course. however a fair comparison of topics (off the subject) maybe very much welcomed.

How to improve
Feel free to edit or improve this course, currently writing mathematical or algebraic expression is very much need anyone who uses scientific word processor or statistical package may include formulas or charts.

Research
Submit your own created custom indicators, Trading systems, Rule base trading, or your own created strategy or test already explored indicators /systems also do submit system testing results.

Interactive Charts
Technical Analysis Library and Software

Open-source library of technical analysis functions. Available for Excel, Java, .NET, Perl, Python and C/C++

Applying TA in Different Markets
the recognising of different trend patterns is the application of Technical analysis.

Random Walk Theory
this is the idea that stocks take a random and unpredictable path. A follower of the random walk theory believes it's impossible to outperform the market without assuming additional risk. Critics of the theory, however, contend that stocks do maintain price trends over time - in other words, that it is possible to outperform the market by carefully selecting entry and exit points for equity investments

Types of Charts
There are three types of charts commonly used by technical analysts: candlesticks charts, bar charts, and line charts.

The less common chart types may provide information that isn't obvious in a bar or candle chart. For example, a Heikin Ashi chart can sometimes make the price trend obvious, while on the bar chart trend is ambiguous. Many of the online charting platforms offer Heikin Ashi, Renko, Kagi, Point & Figure, and others, in addition to the common chart types.

Trends
the stock markets have two major trends i.e bullish and bearish. when buying is strong enough to lack sellers and takes price to higher levels the trend is said to be bullish and vice versa bearish trend.

Support and Resistance
Support and resistance (S/R) levels occur when buyers and sellers come into balance with each other.

Support occurs when sellers are unable to push prices lower. Resistance occurs when buyers are unable to push prices higher.

Technical analysts pay attention to support and resistance levels because there is a high probability that price behavior will change when an S/R level is reached.

Note that support and resistance occurs along horizontal lines, at a given price level. Quite often S/R will occur at round-numbers like 100 or 1400.

S/R can also be found along slanted lines, which are usually referred to as trend lines or channel boundaries.

Support
Loosely, a support price is a "floor" on the price of a security. When reviewing a chart of the price of the security over time, the security's price appears to have a minimum value - the price appears to bounce once it approaches the same price at several points in time.

Technical analysis shows that the support price is a lower bound for the security's value. As the price approaches the support level, investors recognize the inherent value of the stock due to the value of its assets, earnings, or other issues. Psychologically, there is no way the value of the security should be that low. The support price is where buyers get eager to buy stock, however, the resistance price is when the sellers are eager to sell. It is recommended that stock be bought and sold at support.

Resistance
It is recommended that stock be sold or shorted at the resistance

Drawing The Trendlines
the line connecting the troughs in an uptrend is called the bullish trend line and the line connecting crests in and downtrend is the bearish trendline. a trend must significantly touch at least 3 linear crests or troughs. a trend shall not be thought to be reversed untill and unless it breaks up with a significant volume.

Types of Patterns
there are two types of patterns

the mode at which price starts to continue moving in opposite direction are reversal patterns and when prices show a little correction to a trend and start moving in the same trend are the continuation patterns. submitted by Nitin aneja, sunnnit@gmail.com

Reversal Patterns
Reversal patterns tend to occur when a price trend has reached its end.

These patterns often appear as sideways movements as buyers and sellers struggle for dominance of the price trend.

Trend traders can use reversal patterns as a warning sign that the trend may be over.

To a counter-trend trader, the reversal pattern is a sign that it may be time to enter the market for a new trade.

From a visual perspective, some of the Japanese Candlestick reversal patterns are easier to spot than patterns like the head and shoulders.

Common Reversal Patterns
These are a few of the more common reversal patterns:

 * head and shoulders.
 * double top/bottom
 * triple top/bottom
 * spike

Parabolic Reversal Pattern
Parabolic moves occur when price climbs relentlessly higher, with the rate-of-climb continuously increasing.

In other words, price forms a curve which becomes steeper and steeper as the price movement continues higher.

Ultimately, a parabolic move becomes essentially vertical as frantic buyers fight to enter the market at any price.

When the vertical move exhausts itself, price tends to collapse dramatically, giving us the parabolic reversal.

Continuation Patterns
Continuation patterns typically occur as price consolidates, or rests, after making a big move.

While the price action pauses, time continues to elapse. Because of this effect, continuation patterns often appear on a chart as mostly sideways moves.

In contrast to reversal patterns, a continuation pattern suggests that price is likely to continue in the direction of the trend, once the consolidation is complete.

Triangles
when buyers and sellers are not enough to take the prices to one direction there is doubt in the investors. the fight betwen bull or bear makes a patterns having one bullish or bearish trend line. triangle with one bullish trendline and a resistance is called descending triangle, a triangle with one bearish trend line and a support is called a ascending triangle and the triangle formed by connecting bullish and bearish trendline is called symmetrical triangle. submitted by Nitin aneja, sunnnit@gmail.com

List of Technical Indicators
Volume Weighted Average Price - VWAP

Anchored VWAP

Moving Averages

Elliott wave Theory

The Elliott Wave (EW) principle is a form of technical analysis that traders use to analyze financial market cycles and forecast market trends by identifying extremes in investor psychology, highs and lows in prices, and other collective factors.

The general guidelines for using EW are:

1. When price is moving in the direction of the dominant trend, the overall movement will subdivide into 5 separate waves

2. When price is moving counter to the dominant trend, the overall movement will subdivide into 3 separate waves

These 5-wave and 3-wave patterns can be seen in all timeframes

Basics of Building Trading Systems
Well all system flavors will share

 * place to trade (market)
 * your knowledge you using how to buy, sell (algorithms, technical analisis,or just intuition)
 * period of time
 * strategies how to trade.
 * platform to operate
 * signal layer status

Principles of Trading System Design
Principles of your strategies should be aligned with your Trading System design

 * Principles in a finance point of view

 * 1) short
 * 2) long
 * 3) type of investment
 * 4) level of the automatization

 * Principles in a system point of view

 * 1) classic approached
 * 2) AI. approached
 * 3) unique approached

Size Exclusion Chromatography

Introduction
This technique, also known by the name Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) is used to determine the molar mass distribution of polymers in solution.

A polymer sample in solution is injected on top of a column. A flow of liquid (eluent) takes the sample through the column where the molecules are separated according to their size in solution. The largest molecules elute first.

The separation principle is an exclusion of large molecules from pores in the matrix of the particles in the column, letting them pass the column in a shorter time.

The equipment is in principle a liquid chromatograph, often with the option that samples can be run at elevated temperatures. Polyethylene for example can be run at 140°C in trichlorobenzene. The separation is normally isocratic, using only one eluent.

The detector is often a refractive index detector or a light scattering detector, but any LC detector could be used. The advantage of a light scattering detector measuring in a minimum of two angles is that the absolute molar mass can be determined directly.

Since the diameter of a polymer molecule in solution is dependent on the solvent, all other detectors have to be calibrated using polymer standards of differing molar mass with narrow distributions.

 * P.S. You will probably want to see Username Policys, as this might be a troblesome username.

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 AdminX. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name AdminX~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 23:27, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi,my name is Elena,I am from Bulgaria and I study at the University of Sofia.Me and some fellow-studenst of mine chose a very interesting Topic to work on and we will do our best to make a wonderful presentation of it!Good luck!:)))

Global world. Is it the reality we live in, the reality we need for living or just an imagination we create to make life “easier” but useful complicated at the same time…Talking about this global world we imagine ourselves so powerful  that we probably just for seconds miss the idea of our  living,  and we somehow forget that the most important thing is the unique life that everyone of us have for ourselves the most precious one than everything else. It is so tempting to gather human ideas and lifestyle in general. Having it all under control, we often lose us in a dream of a powerful, and successful development of a global home for everyone. Building this special home our hungry for development and modernity souls create nothing but illusions very thin ones, and easy to vanish into space. In a world of a global emotions, thinking, breathing is definitely hard for a man to save himself as one very, very small but so important and unique part of this planet and something more it is definitely hard to walk to the roads which have been just given without any opportunity for choosing roads by himself. Living in a world of changes, it is supposed to discover changes in ourselves as well and these changes makes it turning as a matter of course. If we just for a moment try to imagine, that the world changes in only one direction one instruction only one way of thinking and acting  we would probably be afraid of this predictable future we face. It would be a disaster to lose our personality, and to erase everything which make us the way we are now...different, looking for competitions, prooving what we have and what we work on to achieve this. Loosing the identity what we have, and what makes us special no mater where we were born live feel special or keep on going is actually a play of a losing game because we lose the only thing that makes us unique. The world is changing and people changing as well. It is completely useless to change the world in its development no matter in a technical, emotional, structure way. But we could try to save not only the identity we have and the constant values of our lives, but us as humans who can follow the world changes. Thinking about it and taking own decisions and definitely not betraying our own principles and ideas for living traditions, is a way for creating a vision of a nation or just a man. Some of us do not care about it. They just follow the process. But some of us do care and it is our lifestyle a style to keep our identity in the globalising world.

Jana Eichlerová-Slowekei-23 Jahre alt

Ich muss sagen, dass ich Leute aus Bulgarien erst im Sommerkurs begegnet habe. Und sie waren sehr unterschiedlich. Wenn ich meine Meinung ueber den Bulgaren verallgemeinerm musste, wurde ich sagen, dass sie sehr freundlich, nett, klug und abenteuerlich sind. Sie haben auch gern Spass, und unterhalten sich oft. Aber Generalisierung ist nicht die beste Art, einen Nation zu beschreiben. Ich habe nur ein paar junge Leute aus Bulgarien getroffen, jeder war eine ganz eigenartige Personalitaet wie auch bei anderen Nationen. Mir scheint es, dass Bulgaren nicht so unteschiedlich von Slowaken sind, vielleicht mehr offen und gesellschaftlich, aber wenn es um Mentalität geht, Bulgaren sind mir näher als z.B. Spanier. Wie Nachbarn :)

I must say that I first met Bulgarians during the summerkurs in Germany this year,and they all were so different personalities.Sharing my impressions in general,I could say that they are friendly,clever,kind and adventures as well.But describing the national features of a nation is not the best way to come to a genaral conclusion.I met only few people from Bulgaria,and evreyone has very different personality from the others,just like the other nations.I think that bulgarians are not so different from the slovak,may be a little bit more open-minded and sociable.But if we talk about a mentality,I could understand Bulgarians better than spaniard, for example.like neighbours!:)

Eleonora Di Salvo,Italy-25 years

in my opinion, bulgarians are friendly, they're too worried about their country's situation, in terms of poverty i mean...they like dancing,their own songs and open-minded!!!

ulduz jafarkhanpor-The Niderlands

Ich habe dass eindrück bekomme dass Bulgarischen Leute (studenten)einander sehr mogen. Sie sind öffen, und nicht kompliziert. deshalb war für mich sehr einfach gute kontakten zu legen.

I have the impression that Bulgarians(especially the students who study abroad)support eachother.They are open-minded and easy-going persons.That's why I have no Problems to communicate with them.

Erlend Dalen-Norway,27 years old.

what strikes me the most is how you look at your own country,I mean, you are proud of who you are but not very satisfied.But Bulgarians are...sweet and with a bit of temper.The women are very adventurous:P

This is a sample of the inquiry we will make to yuong people in Bulgaria. The results will be part of the final valuation of the project.

INQUIRY Name Sex М F Age Occupation  How do you understend the meaning of the word “Identity”?

 Would you like to work/study abroad?  Are you an adherent of the ideas of a “Global World”?

 Witch of the following features are more popular of the bulgarian identity? (You can choose more than one.) 1. hard working; 2. lazy; 3. thievish; 4. complaining; 5. seeking benefiths; 6. joy; 7. contemporary; 8. old fashoned; 9. depressed; 10. hospitable; 11. stingy; 12. envious; 13. amusing; 14. prejudiced; 15. helpful; 16. ambitious.  Do you think that after bulgarians becomes a member of the EU, bounderies as we know them will disappear?

 Will life improve after January 2007? In which field the most? 1. education; 2. politics; 3. public health services; 4. more work; 5. better payment; 6. more perspectives for development abroad; 7. others  What kind of things are you proud of in bulgarian history or things we have achieved through the years?

 What are the essential problems of the bulgarian young people? 1. financial; 2. lack of ambitions; 3. lack of perspectives; 4. gap between generations; 5. family problems; 6. drugs; 7. work competition; 8. others  Have you ever participated in projects giving ideas of better perspectives for young people in Bulgaria?

 What are your plans about the future?

Real Time Java

A new, and for my opinion hot, topic. To get a University like start let's discuss on a very restricitve real-time Java system:

Safety Critical Java
Safety critical java is a Java specification request (JSR 302). The idea is to extend the usage of Java even for safety critical applications. that means the application AND the runtime system have to be certified. To achive this at the runtime system (JVM + library) a very simple and restrictive API should be used.

Overview

 * Periodic tasks and sporadic hardware/software events
 * No priorities, just time (period and deadline)
 * Three application phases:
 * Startup (Initialization)
 * Mission
 * Shutdown
 * No garbage collection (should be discussed)
 * Single scoped memory per thread (another discussion point)
 * Simple API, simple implementation
 * Not derived from the RTSJ
 * Implementable on top of the RTSJ

Criticism
Nokia voted Yes on the proposal but added the following comments: "Regarding JCP practices and relation to Java ME, it isn't clear if this JSR is proposing a new Java ME Configuration or Profile or is some kind of other specification to be used for possible future Configurations or Profiles. Section 2.6 states that this JSR will not assume the presence of a garbage collector, implying that it is a more limited environment than CLDC, the currently smallest Java ME Configuration."

Intel voted No on the proposal and added the following comments: "While we support the idea of a Java specification for safety critical systems, we believe that it is generally necessary for JSR to be clear about the kind of specification that will be generated, that is, a library, a configuration, or a profile. Therefore, we do not support approving this JSR in its current state.  We would like to see this JSR clarified in this regard and resubmitted."

Proposed API for Safety Critical Real-time Java
The following API is inspired by the Ravenscar profile for ADA and the derived work on Java (see 'missing references to R-ADA, Puschner/Wellings, RJ').

As a like it simple (personal opinion Schoeberl 22:20, 30 November 2006 (UTC)) here are the two classes that make up the API:

RtEvent
We use a single class to express all schedulable entities (periodic time-triggered, software event-triggered, and hardware event-triggered). Your real-time application has to extend this class.

package safetycritical; public abstract class RtEvent { /**    * A periodic real-time event, equivalent to a periodic thread * @param period * @param deadline * @param offset */   public RtEvent(int period, int deadline, int offset) { }   public RtEvent(int period, int deadline) { this(period, deadline, 0); }   public RtEvent(int period) { this(period, period, 0); }   /**     * A sporadic event with a minimum interarrival time * @param event * @param minInterval * @param deadline */   public RtEvent(String event, int minInterval, int deadline) { }   public RtEvent(String event, int minInterval) { this(event, minInterval, 0); }   /**     * The logic for the event. run gets invoked from the * scheduler either periodic, or on a hardware event or    * on a software event (fire): * @return true if ready for termination */   abstract protected boolean run; /**    * Gets invoked in the shutdown phase at the same period as     * run (instead of run). Invoked until return true. * @return true if shutdown is finished. */   protected boolean cleanup { return true; } }

RtSystem
This static class represents the real-time systems (similar to java.lang.System). Static methods provide the change between the different phases of the application.

package safetycritical; public class RtSystem { private RtSystem { // no RtSystem object }   /**     * Starts the real-time system (the mission). * All periodic and sporadic RT-events are scheduled. *    */    public static void start { }   /**     * Stop the real-time system (mission). When the event run method returns * true the cleanup methods are invoked until returning true * for a clean shutdown. *    */    public static void stop { }   /**     * Schedule a software event. * @param event */   public static void fire(String event) { }   /**     * Schedule a software event. * TODO: decide on which version is better: String or RtEvent * @param re    */ public static void fire(RtEvent re) { }   /**     * Return the elapsed time from system startup in micro seconds. * Wraps around all 4295 seconds. *    * @return */   public static int currentTimeMicro { } }

Examples
A few short examples how to use the proposed API:

package safetycritical.examples; import safetycritical.RtEvent; import safetycritical.RtSystem; public class TwoPeriodic { /** 	 * @param args */ 	public static void main(String[] args) { new RtEvent(1000000) { protected boolean run { System.out.println("P1"); return true; }		 		}; 		new MyEvent; RtSystem.start; } } class MyEvent extends RtEvent { int counter; public MyEvent { super(2000000); counter = 0; } 	protected boolean run { System.out.println("P2"); ++counter; if (counter==5) { RtSystem.stop; } 		return true; } 	protected boolean cleanup { System.out.println("cleanup invoked!"); return true; } }

package safetycritical.examples; import safetycritical.RtEvent; import safetycritical.RtSystem; public class PeriodicSporadic { /** 	 * @param args */ 	public static void main(String[] args) { new RtEvent("SWEVENT", 1000000) { protected boolean run { System.out.println("SW event fired"); return true; }		 		}; 		new MyPeriodic; RtSystem.start; } } class MyPeriodic extends RtEvent { int counter; public MyPeriodic { super(1000000); counter = 0; } 	protected boolean run { System.out.println("P2"); ++counter; if (counter%2==1) { RtSystem.fire("SWEVENT"); } 		if (counter==10) { RtSystem.stop; } 		return true; } 	protected boolean cleanup { System.out.println("cleanup invoked!"); return true; } }

Implementation
A prototype of the API is implemented on JOP. You can play around, without any real-time guarantees, with this API on the simulation of JOP (JopSim).

TODO
Discuss following issues:

 * Scoped memory
 * Critical sections (PCP or even interrupt disabling)
 * Shutdown needs probably a two-phase commit

This is the first of what I reckon to be many Language A to Language B comparative texts. I'm proposing to come up with a page template (boilerplate?) for these types of pages using a side by side two column table. I've made many such proposals and suggestions at Wikiversity translations, but I don't want to charge too far ahead until I complete a few more Multilingual Studies. The biggest show-stopper is the apparent lack of interest (evidenced by the lack of participation) in the whole subject of translation.

Fortunately, A few good translators have stepped forward and started to pave the way in this area. They know who they are and you could too if you took the time. I don't mean to sound so pedantic, but darnit, this stuff is important. CQ 21:58, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Portal talk:Computational linguistics

Approaches
I think a good approach is to tackle computational linguistics along with computational sociology (if there really IS such a thing). I believe (and belief is subjective) that the most fine-grained way is best and such methodology finds expression cheifly from a personal context — language is personal. We Humans use language within ourselves subvocalizing our very thoughts. That practice is extremely personal yet arguably universal. At the other end of the spectrum is global, world-wide, international, again universal linguistics, where linguists, computer scientists, philosophers, psychologist and all sorts of other academics search for those universals amid the screams and warcries of a deeply disturbed world. Perhaps it is all a question of balence (harmony?), between means and extremes. See this approach in a familiar context • CQ 05:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

User:AustinSmith

About Me
I am a software developer and analyst for a firm in Minneapolis, Minnesota. My knowledge includes general development theory, but I deal specifically with web application development. My primary job is to direct offshore resources in large scale project development. I previously worked as a consultant for American Public Media and a variety of other companies needing expertise in the realm of developing quality closed source software using freely available tools.

Personally, I enjoy cooking, playing tennis, and playing the piano. My girlfriend lives in Connecticut, so I have enough time to create courses on Wikiversity.

Skills
The three languages which I know equally well are PHP, Ruby, and Java. I am well versed in SQL, since we use it in web development as a "main ingredient" and so naturally I am also fluent in (X)HTML/CSS and XML. I also have professional experience with C, C++, C#, Perl, and Python. I am also a competent system administrator. Most importantly, I am passionate about application architecture; the delicate blend of SQL, a programming language (like PHP or Ruby), HTML, and the server it stands on.

Goals
I want to create courses, especially in PHP, Ruby, SQL, and Linux so that the amateur user may elevate their skillset to a level at which they can begin doing technical work for money. My professional interest is present as well, this is not simply a personal desire--as an avid recruiter of contractors, I shudder to recall the many rank amateurs who just didn't get it.

Autocommitted
Note: All DDL statements are autocommitted, i.e. user need not perform any commit after executing DDL statements.

I disagree with the statement above as it is not true for all databases, it may be true for some, e.g. Oracle or SQL Server. Others control commits through the setting of the auto-commit feature when a session is established to the database, and some statements cannot be rolled back i.e. DROP and TRUNCATE.

Portal talk:SQL

I will begin creating lessons and adding content. AustinSmith 06:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Here's how I propose to lay out this course. I will walk the user through each new topic by using a common database which I will build on lesson by lesson. I will develop and test my tutorial on MySQL, PostgreSQL and Oracle Express and link to instructions to install and configure each. I may get around to testing SQL Server 2005, but I only have unfettered access to that at the office and usually have other work to do there :-) I will show some favor towards MySQL since it is has the most complete implementation of SQL, is widely supported, and easy to install and configure on many platforms. If there are no objections, I shall begin writing. I estimate that I will have all chapters written in first draft form by January 1st, 2007. AustinSmith 07:51, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Question
What about laying out the course using common college/university semantics? For instance, I'm interested in the Microsoft SQL Server course, but the content spans from very basic to extremely advanced. So does it make sense to have a Microsoft SQL Server 101, 201, etc. level courses? Also, where are the objectives for each course? Does it make sense for each course to have an "Objectives" landing page? I can think of about 10 objectives for a Microsoft SQL Server 101 course, for instance. Each one would constitute a different lesson. Just not sure how you're doing it here. Thanks SqlPac 03:47, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Draft:Operating system/Operating Systems/Linux

Portal:Engineering_and_Technology/School:Computer_Science/Topic: Operating Systems/GNU-Linux

Welcome to the Department of Linux

Linux is commonly used to refer to a GNU/Linux operating system. Modern operating systems including both Linux and Windows consist of two main parts. These are the kernel, which talks directly to system hardware, and 'user land' which is where any program users interact with are run. As vital as the kernel is it is still only about 4% of an operating system. The other 96% is provided by the 'user land' tools. In the case of a normal GNU/Linux system Linux refers only to the kernel. The user land tools are mostly provided by the GNU project.

The Linux kernel is a clone of the commercial operating system UNIX. It was created from scratch by Linus Torvalds and is now maintained by a volunteer group of coders distributed around the globe. Linux is now developed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

The GNU Public Licence is also used on all software produced by the GNU project. This is the vast majority of a full GNU/Linux system. This licence states that software can be downloaded, used, and changed by anyone without charge on the condition that anyone distributing a changed version also has to provide the source code to their changes. GNU is a recursive acronym for 'GNU is Not Unix.'

Many Linux system administrators believe the 'open source' model used by GNU/Linux results in more reliable and secure code.

Distributions
The Linux operating system is open source. (http://www.linux-diff.net/) There are thousands of application programs running on it. A particular selection of operating system components and applications are called a 'distribution'. Everybody is entitled to compose a distribution. However most users tend to stick to more well know distributions.

Distributions are full packaged operating systems. You can download them, install them, and use them to run your programs! Here is an ( incomplete ) list of the major players in the Linux distro world:
 * Trisquel - GNU/Linux is a fully free operating system for home users, small enterprises and educational centers.

 * Red Hat - The biggest distributor of Enterprise Linux, with its flagship Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) products. It is free as in Freedom but offered with support contract based on user requirements. Market focus on the Enterprise market space.
 * Fedora - Formerly known as Fedora Core, It is a free open source Red Hat sponsored distribution. Fedora is the upstream of Red Hat Enterprise Linux which means all new features will come out first in Fedora before possible inclusion into Red Hat Enterprise Linux ( RHEL ) upon maturity and enough demand to create support services around it.
 * CentOS - A binary compatible Linux distribution with Red Hat Enterprise Linux built using the freely available source code of Red Hat Enterprise Linux minus the support contract and Red Hat trademark.
 * Debian - The largest community-run Linux distribution on earth with its own Debian Social Contract and Constitution. Large package database, excellent hardware detection. Lots of distribution built their Linux based on Debian including Ubuntu.
 * Ubuntu - One of the latest and widely used. Immensely popular for its easy install process and ease of use. Ubuntu includes  some non-free (as in freedom), but convenient software. Based on Debian.
 * Linux_Mint - User friendly setup for those used to Windows OS. Easily usable right out of the box. Currently the 4th most popular OS used. Free and open source.
 * Knoppix - The best for hardware detection, which makes the whole thing boot slower, still, if you can't get Knoppix installed, then you really must be trying to make things difficult.
 * SUSE - The second largest Linux distribution company in the world. Being bought over by Novell and famous for its Suse Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) and SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED). Free as in freedom with supports contract around it.
 * openSUSE - Novell sponsored free open source distro, openSUSE is to SUSE Linux what Fedora is to Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
 * Oracle Linux
 * Gentoo - Designed for enthusiasts, professionals, and people who want to squeeze every last ounce of performance out of their machine. Most of the software is provided as source, instead of in a binary form.
 * Slackware - The oldest distro that is still maintained.
 * Puppy_Linux - Runs completly in RAM and is therefore very fast.
 * Damn Small Linux - A Linux distro at only 50mb!
 * Tiny Core Linux - A Linux distro at only 10mb!!
 * rPath- An appliance friendly distro that uses conray for package management. This allows users to have a server running on their desktop or laptop machine completely independently.  Many preconfigured server configurations are available for many of the virtural machines, such as VMplayer.

User:Pedro.Gonnet/Programming in Zonnon

Overview
Although the title may suggest otherwise, this course is about programming in general. The name "Programming in Zonnon" stems from the fact that for this course, the Zonnon programming language will be used.

The requirements for this course are very basic:

 * Basic highschool-level mathematics
 * A Microsoft Windows, Mac OS or Linux based computer with the Microsoft .NET-Framework or Mono installed
 * No supposed or real knowledge of computers, computing, programming or anything of the like.

As the requirements imply, this course is designed as an entry-level affair for people with absolutely no experience in computing.

Goals
In very general terms, after taking this course, students should be able to write computer programs to solve simple problems in an efficient way.

In more specific terms this means that they understand and know how to use the following
 * Basic Programming Language Skills: the students understand and know how to use the following:
 * Concept of variables
 * Basic data types, structured data types and arrays
 * Concept of expressions, statements and syntax
 * Basic control structures such as loops, if-then-else statements
 * Concept of procedures
 * Concept of parameters, call by value vs. call by reference
 * Concept of functions and their return type
 * Basic Programming Skills: the students understand and know how to use the following:
 * Concept of recursion
 * Concept of dynamic programming
 * Concept of pointers
 * Basic data structures such as linked lists and binary trees

How To Take This Course
The lessons of this course are presented in the order in which they are meant to be studied. Each lesson contains a set of specific goals and some exercises at the end to verify that those goals have been met.

Lessons

 * What is a program?
 * Syntax and Semantics
 * Variables
 * Procedures and Functions

What is a program?

Overview
In this lesson we will discuss the different aspects of a program, the different form it may take and how it can be compiled such that a computer can understand and execute it.

Goals
At the end of this lesson, the students will know the difference between an algorithm, a computer program and a compiled executable.

Of Humans, Computers and Programs
A program is a collection of instructions that describe a task.

This rather simple definition can go a long way. Every recipe, for example, is a program. The instruction for assembling your favourite Ikea nighttable is a program. When you go to the theater, the actors on stage follow (hopefully) a program. Even for life in general we're constantly asked to "get with the program", whatever it is.

Humans are generally pretty flexible when it comes to interpreting programs. When the recipe tells us to slice the tomatoes it doesn't tell us how, or to use a knife. If we don't know that, we're probably better off not cooking in the first place and probably shouldn't be using knives anyway.

The limiting factor in the successful execution of programs is usually language and/or detail of the description.

If the recipient doesn't speak the language, no amount of hollering will get him or her to correctly perform the task you are describing -- even if that language is English. That's why Ikea likes to print its assembly instructions as pictograms -- the bar for correctly understanding images is much lower that that for correctly understanding Swedish.

Similarly, no amount of mastery of the Swedish language will get you around putting the wrong screws in the wrong holes (two wrongs don't make a right here -- there are more screws and holes than you think) if you are not told where they go. Simply printing an image of the finished nighttable won't get anybody anywhere -- which is why there is pretty much one image for each set of screws.

Given a set of decent instructions -- in a decent language and at a decent amount of detail -- is still, however, no guarantee that the human in charge of the nighttable won't mess it up anyway. That is so because, however flexible humans are at interpreting programs, they successfully compensate for it with laziness, inattention or plain ineptness.

This is why computers were developed. Computers are neither lazy, inattentive nor inept. They are able to perform a set of tasks blazingly fast. The limitation, however, is the same as for any human that can preform a task blazingly fast: they don't think. Therefore, in order for a computer to actually do something useful blazingly fast, we have to give it very, very detailed instructions. And since most computers don't speak Swedish, we have to give them these detailed instructions in a language they understand.

Computer Executables
The language which a computer understands is generally called assembly language. This language consists of a very basic set of operations such as

 * Read a number from somewhere in memory
 * Multiply that number with some other number
 * Write the resulting number somewhere else in memory

As you may imagine, writing programs such as a web browser or the latest first-person shooter can be a somewhat long and tedious task. This is why programs are rarely written directly in assembly language -- they are usually written in computer programming languages and automatically translated (compiled) to assembly language.

Computer Programs
What we usually refer to as computer programs are higher-level descriptions of what the computer should do

Music/Software/Programming drums

Programming great sounding drums and avoiding pre made sample loops is easier than it seems.

in this lesson we will avoid complicated time signatures and stick to the basic 4/4 time signature. For those unfamiliar with time signatures read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_signature

what we will need

single drum hits (samples) depending on the style of music that were making. we at least will need a "kick" a "snare" and a closed and opened "hat"

http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/  <-- is a wonderful free resource to get all kinds of neat sounds

the next thing we need is a "sequencer" or a program that will allow us to combine the different single drum hits in to a "loop"

one very popular program for this purpose is FL studio, and you can download a free demo at  http://www.flstudio.com/   .Although the demo version will not allow you to save your work projects , it will allow you to "render" your drum loop to a "wav" file.

So now that we've got everything we need

here come the big secrets :)

The difference between pro sounding loops and drums that you may hear in cheezy midi files is that there is "groove" or live quality to the pro loops, where as the midi file is 100 % quantized and stiff.

So the big secret is NEVER to make all your snares and hats 100% quantized .. offsetting notes by a millimeter forward or back will add to the live feel

the second very important but often over looked thing in programmed drums is "Ghost notes". Ghost notes are basicly drum hits that are very low in volume and are positioned a bit before and/or a bit after the actual hit. These ghost notes create something of a "flam" that breathes just a little more life in to a programed loop.

To clarify a ghost note  pretend that "CAPITAL LETTERS" are the actual hits and "lower case" are ghost notes K=KICK S=SNARE
 * =16th note space

Here is a simple pattern K|||sS|||||K||sS||K|

So a 32nd note (or a few millimeters)prior to the actual snare hit, put in another snare and lower its volume by 10 db. Do the same for the KICK but put the "ghost kick" a 16th note after the KICK hits

I really hope this got across since its extremely difficult to explain with text but is very important.

The thing not to forget is that your loops (unless you're making techno/house/dance) will benefit if you add a little bit of swing, say 15-30 %

when programming the closed hi hats make sure that you "randomize" the timing of the hats (so that some of the hats are 100% quantized) and some are just a bit late or early..also very important that you vary the loudness(velocity) of the hats DO NOT HAVE THEM hitting at the same volume through the whole loop..Close your eyes, pretend you're hitting a hi hat , and try to remember which notes you "pretend" to hit harder and translate that to your loop(sequencer). its amazing that people that have never player real drums in their life make the correct rythmic accents

WORD OF ADVICE, is to listen to something great , maybe your favorite record or favorite loop,,, theres no shame in ripping off someones drum loop , its the only way to really learn ...

and don't settle for something that sounds worse than your reference ..theres no reason why your loop should sound worse than a loop sold on samples cds

the rythm at least should sound pro,  ... because getting a certain sound is a totally different ball game that hopefully we'll cover next time.. first you have to understand what makes a good loop ,..and hopefully this lesson will help you figure that out

User talk:Midiscore

Hi Midiscore, welcome to Wikiversity, and thanks for uploading Music/Software/Programming drums! You said there: "I really hope this got across since its extremely difficult to explain with text" - I know exactly what you mean. I think that, as much as possible, we should be capturing screenshots of what we're working with (eg the 16 beat loop), in order to show people that this is how it's structured. Even better would be to capture screencasts of what we do and/or record the audio output a setting makes. All of this would make such a page really useful. I'm very much interested in this area, however i don't have access to my audio software and am waiting on an installer CD in the post. Once I get that, I can play around with it. Meantime, knock yourself out! ;-) Cormaggio talk 20:53, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the effort. But yes, you're right that .swf and .mp3 are both proprietary (ie non-free/open) formats, and therefore are (currently) disallowed from Wikimedia projects, including Wikiversity. (This might be something we can look into for the future - Meta:Multimedia might give some info.) In the meantime, you want to just make your work available somehow! There is a way of converting swf to a free video format (eg "Ogg Theora"), but as far as I can make it out, it is difficult, and requires a bit of technical knowhow, as well as software. You might be best asking about this on the Colloquium (Wikiversity's general discussion page), or on some technical IRC channel, eg. #wikimedia-tech (requires IRC client). As for audio, you can convert to a free sound format (eg. "Ogg Vorbis") relatively easily by downloading the free software program Audacity (though maybe other programs do it also), and using that to export the mp3 file to Ogg Vorbis. That will then be able to be uploaded to Wikiversity. There are plans underway to be able to embed and play both of these "Ogg" formats within a Wikimedia page, so it might be good to work with that. Sorry for the hassle though - hopefully it'll be worth it. Cormaggio talk 12:21, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Another way, of course, is if you have webspace, you can upload anything you want there and link to it from Wikiversity. However, this is a less desirable option, as, you can imagine, people could link to any old porn/spam, making it difficult for us to monitor what quality of info Wikiversity is providing.

Candidate for Custodianship
Hi Mike,

Just dropping you a note re Candidates for Custodianship/MathXplore and wondering if you would be able to take a look some time and close if/when you see fit? I nominated MathXplore, so ideally you could close. Dave Braunschweig on a wiki break.

Hope you're well.

Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 09:45, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Yes, I'll review this weekend. I'm doing well. Thanks for asking. --mikeu talk 22:19, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

 * ✅ See  --mikeu talk 14:36, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Can we save this depression-era photo?
See File:Untitled-91274a-1024.jpg, |original|jenikirbyhistory. The latter two claim (insinuate?) that it is a PD loc image. Is this good enough to get it on Wikiversity? If this does not satisfy "fair use", I don't know what "fair use" is. Come to think of it, I don't know what fair use is. Period.--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 01:16, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
 * The most suitable license on commons is . See, for example: File:Spark_gap_transmitter_bandwidth_-_2.png. I recommend that we move the image to commons and delete the local copy. We should probably give it a more descriptive file name. I'll take a look at this in a short while. IMHO, there's no point in us hosting a PD. On commons it can be fairly used here and cross-wiki. --mikeu talk 20:20, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅ - I've moved the file and deleted the local copy. The resource that uses the image looks fine. --mikeu talk 22:26, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅ - To clarify - my previous post was the move of File:Depression-overview.jpg. I've just now moved File:Untitled-91274a-1024.jpg. Most of the archival images in the Federal Writers' Project are likely . By definition, these photos were commissioned and/or published by the US Gov't and are PD. I wouldn't trust a bot to automatically move them. They need to be checked by a person to verify the status. --mikeu talk 03:53, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * If you want, I can delete these images, but need someone with more knowledge of copyright and WV policy than I to verify. All or most of the scientific images are essential to imported PLOS articles, so we might want to delete the PLOS articles if we delete the images. The photo of two men are on of user:Jtneill's resources and are likely not essential to the page. Let me know and I will be happy to delete.

Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 21:41, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

 * I'll take a look at this. --mikeu talk 22:26, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Bayesian.png was a duplicate already on commons. I've deleted it and update what links here resource pages. --mikeu talk 00:37, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 01:41, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Update: I'm still working my way through these files. I'm not sure what the copyright status is for many of them. --mikeu talk 01:47, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

I've had trouble tracking down the specific image sources. In general, PLOS uses CC BY, CC0 Universal, or Open Governmental License. So, the issue is not so much fair use. It is attribution. It is reasonable to assume that the authors of the PLOS articles that we host created the images included in the article (unless otherwise stated.) This does create a bit of a mess in that there is no clear link from the image back to the creator. --mikeu talk 14:23, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

 * I agree that the LoC files should be moved to Commons and I moved some of them. Sadly the PLOS files have a bad source and we do not know which license creator have chosen. If it is one that require attribution we need to know the creator. So I think the files should be deleted. --MGA73 (discuss • contribs) 20:12, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

 * I'm generally in favor of keeping files that appear to be free. In this case I support deleting due to the uncertainty of authorship. If we can't be sure that we are correctly attributing the creator then they should not be hosted here. I support deletion. --mikeu talk 02:49, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Requests for Deletion
You might be interested in it, as a subpage of your userpage has a link to that module. Liuxinyu970226 (discuss • contribs) 11:43, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, that module is deprecated. It appears unused. A deletion is appropriate. --mikeu talk 01:27, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Deleted. --mikeu talk 03:24, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Should I delete these pages?
I am 90% confident that these pages should be deleted, and I can do them quickly with my touch screen. But there are so many files that I would appreciate verification. Could you take a look at Requests_for_Deletion?--Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 16:30, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I support deletion of all these unused files. --mikeu talk 01:22, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Talk:History of India

India or Indic?

Indic or India
The US State Department defines "indic languages," I assumed this terminology would also apply as a general study. Also since the department would obstensibly cover the pre-partition era histories of Pakistan and Bangladesh, some differentiation from "India" would be in order. However if it is the will of the community, as derived from further comments, I shall happily change the name. Nmpenguin 04:08, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Tasks.
Would appreciate it if you could create a Tasks page (not just a section) similar to the one found at European History. If you're confused as to how to do this, and would like me to do it for you, leave a message on my talk page. The Jade Knight 03:52, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Merge (Pan-Asian History)
I propose that we merge the three Asian History Dep'ts into a single "Department of Asian History". This would correspond to the current Departments of European History, African History, and the pending (pan-)American History Department. This way there will be more interaction among the members of a department, and it will be easier to reach critical mass in regads to cooperation and momentum of paricipation.

Oboe d'amore

Oboe d'amore is the alto or mezzosoprano member of the oboe family. A member of the modern oboe family with a soprano/alto range, the range of which sounds from G-sharp below middle C to C-sharp above the treble clef, but is notated a minor third above that. The oboe d'amore was very popular during the Baroque era. Its sound is somewhat gentler than that of the oboe, and its lower notes are dark, full, and rich. The oboe d'amore has almost fallen out of favor today, often being replaced by the oboe and the Cor anglais. They are part of the wider family of the double reeds which includes the following instruments from the smallest to the largest:
 * musette

 * oboe

 * oboe d'amore

 * cor anglais, or the English horn

 * baritone oboe or bass oboe

 * heckelphone

 * bassoon or fagott

 * contrabassoon or contrafagott.

In the baroque time, there were also instruments like oboe da caccia and taille, which are substituted by the english horn in modern performances. In the 18th century, there were also oboes with the same size and the same pitch (A) as the oboe d'amore, but without the pear-shaped bell. These were called just as 'oboe', 'oboe grande' or 'haute-contre'. According to the present knowledge, the oboe d'amore was at the first time used in 1717 by Christoph Graupner in his Cantata Wie wunderbar ist Gottes Güt. The instrument was used by J.S.Bach, G.P.Telemann, the Graun brothers, C.Graupner, G.H.Stölzel, J.M.Böhm, A.Lotti, J.H.Roman and a few others. Possibly the last to write for oboe d'amore in the 18th century was C.D. von Dittersdorf. The oboe d'amore was re-established in the second half of the 19th century and it is used both in presentations of baroque music and in modern compositions. The composers who have used the oboe d'amore after the new rise of the instrument include Debussy, R.Strauss, Ravel, Koechlin, Delius, Henze, Takemitsu and others.

Slightly larger than the oboe, the oboe d'amore has a less assertive and more tranquil and serene tone, and is considered the mezzo-soprano or alto of the oboe family. It is a transposing instrument, sounding a minor third lower than it is notated, i.e. in A. The bell is pear-shaped, similar to that of the larger Cor anglais, and it uses a bocal that is similar to it, although shorter.

Compositions for the Oboe d'amore

 * J.S.Bach: Concerto A major, BWV1055

 * Claude Debussy: Gigues from Images

 * Christos Hatzis: Heirmos

 * G.P.Telemann: Cantata 'Der Herr ist König' and 'Die Donnerode'

 * G.P.Telemann: Concerto for Flute, Oboe d'amore and Viola d'amore

Wikiversity talk:Peer review

current proposal at strategy wikimedia

 * Proposal:Develop systems for accuracy review
 * Proposal:Tutorials for finding peer-reviewed secondary literature, Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 19:20, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Presentation
A presentation of this peer review idea (given at the December 2013 meetup in New York City) is available at: File:Peer revieved content from Wikiversity (presentation).pdf. Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 11:30, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Link to peer reviewed version
When a resource passes peer review, I think we should make a copy of the peer reviewed passed version as a subpage, then write protect it as a snapshot. Any new peer review changes can be finalized into a new snapshot. Mikael Häggström, what do you think? Also, I don't know if Wikipedia will allow Wikiversity information as a reliable source. I'm not against it, but I don't think Wikiversity is developed enough yet for it. Its a good vision. Also, what about linking the peer review page to external peer review organizations. - Sidelight12 Talk 20:02, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Why not use a permanent link to the peer-reviewed page instead? This snapshot is already compiled and requires no maintenance.  -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 20:53, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Good idea! I'll work on that to include a permanent link to the peer reviewed version as well. Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 06:48, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I've encountered an unexplained problem in making this addition. I've described the problem at Wikipedia:Help_talk:Template. I'll appreciate any help in solving this problem. Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 11:30, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
 * ✅ Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 16:49, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Citing in Wikipedia
Can I ask where the heck you got the idea that Wikiversity 'peer reviewed' articles would be accepted as reliable sources on Wikipedia? That is for Wikipedia to decide - not Wikiversity. And as the Wikipedia policy on identifying reliable sources makes clear, open Wikis are never accepted as reliable sources. AndyTheGrump (discuss • contribs) 20:15, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I cannot recall I've ever gotten such an idea. As described on the talk pages you linked, I regard this peer review process to avail for a possible exception to the general rule. Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 11:32, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
 * If you didn't have such an idea, why were you citing your own Wikiversity articles on Wikipedia? Anyway, what you 'regard' is beside the point - current Wikipedia policy is that citation of Wikis isn't permitted, and unless and until Wikipedia policy is revised, it is entirely misleading for Wikiversity to be implying otherwise. If the Wikipedia 'peer review' process is to be accepted by Wikipedia as an exception to this rule, no doubt this article can be revised to say so - but that hasn't happened, and Wikiversity:Peer review shouldn't be implying otherwise. If you aren't prepared to remove the misleading assertions, I shall consider doing so myself. AndyTheGrump (discuss • contribs) 21:17, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The context of the text makes it clear that peer review does not automatically result in being a reliable source for inclusion in Wikipedia, but since this text is obviously disputes I've removed it from the page. Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 04:57, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

 * There is a confusion in this discussion. Yes, being "peer-reviewed" doesn't make something reliable source, in itself. What it takes is an independent and responsible publisher. The "publisher" cannot be a wiki or the author or any organization controlled by the author. Nor can it be controlled by a wiki, but, now what may be possible:
 * An independent publisher chooses to use a wiki to publish. It may use wiki process as a part of its own peer-review process, generating advice. Not control. If the material is published on a wiki, the "publication" is a specific version of a wiki page or set of pages referenced externally by the publisher. To make this clear, the article would be cited, not by the Wikiversity link, but to a publisher page, that may contain an abstract, perhaps, and a link to a permanent wiki version, approved by the publisher, with the full text being readable from the wiki as the permanent version.
 * All this then would create what may be reliable source. The reliable source is the publisher and what the publisher publishes. Not the wiki. however, there are some very substantial advantages which will accrue to the publisher and to the wiki community. The article may be broadly criticized. It may be improved. It may be discussed, and on Wikiversity, the *topic* may be discussed. (And the publisher may subject an improved version to its own editorial process and could update the link.) The publications will likely remain stable, even if the publisher ceases operations.
 * To my mind, the present Wikiversity Journal of Medicine does not quite satisfy this. However, it could be made so, and some of the pieces are in place.
 * One of the crucial differences is in the attached page. It implies that the author may arrange for peer review. Certainly an author can do that; however, *independent peer review* -- generally anonymous -- is very important to academic publishing. Rather, the publisher must identify peer review resources, assessing their competence, and not under the influence of an author. It will then assign reviewers anonymously. The reviews may be publishable on-wiki, and it's then possible for reviews to be criticized, but the publication decision is entirely in the hands of the *independent publisher.* It is that independent choice, with the publisher having its reputation (and market) at stake, that allows Wikipedia to use independent publication to determine reliable source and notability.
 * If this is completed, this could apply to many subjects, not just Medicine. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 17:36, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I think the creation of PDF files would serve as a proper link when citing articles, as it would be a substantially more stable than the online wiki versions of articles. The day we reach 40 articles and are eligible for inclusion in Pubmed, the Pubmed page may be used as a reference. Until then, we are planning to upload the PDF files to some sort of academic page, in order to get them indexed and searchable by for example Google Scholar. I'm currently trying to get approval for this at my local med school.
 * A peer review made by someone directly chosen by the author is theoretically possible, but it is a huge potential conflict of interest. I had to do this in the very beginning of this project, before there were any submissions from other people, but we will definitely work on independently appointing peer reviewers.

Mining engineering

Mining Engineering is a field that involves many of the other engineering disciplines as applied to extracting and processing minerals from a naturally occurring environment.

The need for mineral extraction and production is an essential activity of any technically proficient society. As minerals are produced from within a naturally occurring environment, disturbance of the environment as a result of mineral production is a given. Modern mining engineers must therefore be concerned not only with the production and processing of mineral commodities, but also with the mitigation of damage or changes to an environment as a result of that production and processing. The two primary types of mine are underground mines and open-pit mines. Minerals that exist mostly underground (eg. coal, gold etc.) are generally recovered using the underground mining process. Minerals like iron ore, limestone, manganese ore, and others are mostly recovered from the surface downwards in opencast mining. Oil sands mining is another example of open-pit mine predominant in Alberta, Canada.

Engineering disciplines that are closely related to mining engineering are:

 * Civil engineering
 * Environmental engineering
 * Geotechnical engineering
 * Hydrotechnical engineering
 * Geological engineering
 * Electrical engineering
 * Structural Engineering

Specialized areas of mining engineering involve extraction of minerals from underwater mines, seawater, in-situ retorting of rock, and underground gasification.

Topic talk:International relations

Assumptions in International Politics
International politics is a science so therefore being a scientist it would be prudent to look at the facts around any particular phenomena or event. If however those facts where manipulated or where not their to be scrutinised then I ask the question would it not be the task of any scientist to make an assumption or a best guess as to what may or may not have occured. A theory almost of the events that have taken place may be an answer to counter the counter intelligence agencies who plot, spoil, and manipulate events so that the facts become not factual and ineffectual

Talk:Foreign language learning orientation

German: orientation
Hi CQ, I would propose instead of Orientation in German: Orientierung. --Erkan Yilmaz 18:28, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Capitol idea Erkan and Thanks for the hand! The orientation page is a sort of world traveler. My thought was that it could go to en, de, fr and es. first. On each of those Wikiversities, the Native tongue will go at the top followed by the other three. The sections should all have the same format and equivalent linkage. Once all the sections are complete, we send it to beta to pick up nl, pt, zh, etc. for the betas.

 * For example, Portugese speakers may be more familiar with Spanish, while Swedish and Dutch speakers might be more conversant with German. Hillgentleman has done a bit of work on some Zh (Chinese) pages at Beta. The Foreign language learning orientation page is intended to be kind of like a Rosetta stone. Know what I mean? CQ 03:48, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi CQ, the Orientierung page is translated now - though I must still say that some of the links referring there do not exist yet, so I left them with the English links for the moment, until the German versions are available.
 * I am also thinking, if the page name should be better: "Übersicht" instead of Orientierung - but let me think about it. --Erkan Yilmaz 08:23, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know Deutsch. To be a good translator, one should at least have some cultural background, which I don't. I've got a login at de.wikiversity, now, but lost as a goose ;) Interwiki links work, so you can move de:Orientierung to de:Übersicht (REDIRECT page is automatically created if the move succeeds). I use the interwiki links on the wikipedias and wiktionaries to find equivalent words, like a machine translation would do. CQ 11:16, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, have created the redirect to de:Übersicht. --Erkan Yilmaz 11:44, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

From Translator's Handbook:

Interlingual Beta Club

 * Oh, and yes the Interlingual Beta Club needs to be translated and placed on de:Wikiversity:Interlingual Beta Klub. Each version of InterlingualMainNavEn has the appropriate link at the top as Interlingual Wikiversity. I think Wikiversity translations is already there. See also Topic:Translation and beta:wikiversity:translation. CQ 03:48, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, then I would say, I start translating the Interlingual_Beta_Club into German first. Perhaps after that also some people at German Wikiversity will join - at least it should be announced publically after this in the Colloquium there. --Erkan Yilmaz 08:23, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi CQ, I have started translating the IBC. --Erkan Yilmaz 09:38, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Another thing: Wikiversity:Interlingual_Beta_Klub is not so familiar, how about if I use following name Wikiversity:Interlingual_Beta_Verein ? --Erkan Yilmaz 08:23, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll meet ya at Wikiversity talk:Interlingual Beta Club. CQ 11:16, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

User talk:AJYandow~enwikiversity

Invitation
Dear user of Wikiversity,

Do you like to join a reading club, where you can read and discuss literature? Reading clubs could have active and inactive participants. Active participants could be required to edit on a regularly basis untill a deadline is reached and another topic can be chosen for reading and discussing. Hopefully, reading clubs can ensure a social network on Wikiversity of people cooperating with eachother and becoming friends while discussing knowledge.--Daanschr 09:21, 1 November 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 AJYandow. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name AJYandow~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 23:26, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Digital information literacy

The ability to access, interpret and create digital information has increased its level of importance in the continuum of literacy in recent years. The use of computers, the Internet and the World Wide Web has become integral to many forms of information access, communication, and knowledge generally. This change is having an impact on common understandings about information, communication and knowledge - causing many to ask fundamental questions like: what is reliable information? How do we communicate effectively? and how do we develop and maintain knowledge?

Objectives
Access
 * Understand how digital information is created, stored and transported; and how to establish Internet connectivity and a network.
 * Know how to use at least three search techniques to find digital information
 * Know how to use RSS to manage information flows

Interpret
 * Be able to identify a range of digital formats and their uses
 * Be able to use machine translation, speech to text, and audio transcription services
 * Understand copyright as it is applied to digital works and believe in your self

Create
 * Be able to use at least three different input and recording technologies
 * Be able to edit text, audio and images
 * Know at least three ways to publish your own digital information

What is digital

Interfaces
Some interfaces which are used for accessing digital information - databases, datasets, electronic libraries, Internet, other multimedia - problem-solving so users can navigate sources and understand their scope

Facilities
Portals (a website often within an intranet serving as a guide or point of entry to the World Wide Web and usually including a search engine or a collection of links to other sites arranged especially by topic). Search engines (computer programmes called 'spiders' search their database of previously indexed pages from the WWW for keywords you have specified. An example would be google. RSS feeds (If you have subscribed to a particular site by setting up an RSS feed, you will be sent notification of any new updates to that site. RSS Feeds let you know when there is new stuff to see at your favourite sites, blogs etc.) Subject Gateway ,Catalogue,Directory (a list of internet resources e.g. OMNI. A directory has been created by a human being and it lists websites by subject categories. The websites have all been evaluated previously and are deemed to be useful.),Internet tutorials (Tutorials available online about how to find information effectively),Internet detective.

Searching
search engines, subject directories, gateways etc.
 * Data sets e.g. Citation Index, databases, data centres

Communications media
Discussion boards, email lists, IM channels, blog comments, video conferencing...

Publishing

 * Beautiful.AI -- Presentation Builder

 * Padlet -- Board to publish

Formats
There are several different formats used for digital information - text, audio, video, images, blogs, wikis etc.

Copyright
Options for copyright - creative commons, JISC models, copyright licensing Ltd.

This module will need to be linked to search strategies, evaluating and ethics modules.

Software
Examples of software packages for enterprise resource planning systems, integrated library systems, course management systems, management information systems, blogs/cms, Wiki's and institutional repository's.
 * GNU Eprints for generating an "Open Access" (OA) "Institutional Repository" (IR)

Convolution

A convolution between two signals, $$x(t)$$ and $$y(t)$$, is an operation defined as follows:

 * $$x(t)*y(t)=\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} x(\tau)y(t-\tau)d\tau$$

The process of convolution is very useful in the time domain analysis of systems, because we can fully describe a system by its impulse response. Let's consider the following system which operates on an input as $$O\{\}$$, having characterized its impulse response by $$o(t)$$:

 * $$x(t) \longrightarrow \begin{array}{ |c| }\hline O \{ \} \\ \hline\end{array} \longrightarrow y(t)$$

 * $$y(t)=O[x(t)]$$

 * $$y(t)=x(t)*o(t)$$

Put into other words, the output of a system in an instant $$t$$ can be written as a linear combination of past and future instants of the input and its impulse response:

 * $$y(t)=\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} x(\tau)o(t-\tau)d\tau$$

Discrete Convolution
In discrete time there is no continuous time $$x(t)$$ but finite samples $$x[n]$$.

So the integral can be rewritten as a sum:

 * $$(x*y)[m]=\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty x[m-n]*y[n]$$

To understand the convolution of finite length signals better, let's look at an example with the signals $$x=[1, 2, 3]$$ and $$y=[6, 9]$$. [ 1] * [6 9] = ?

[ 6 12 18 0]    // [1 2 3] * 6 [ 0  9 18 27]    // [1 2 3] * 9 - [ 6 21 36 27]    // sum of the above

Note that the length of the output signal has the length $$N + M - 1$$ where $$M$$ is the length of $$x$$ and $$N$$ the length of $$y$$.
