User talk:Lxoe

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 Lxoe. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Lxoe~enwiki 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. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

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 01:28, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Welcome
Hello, Vodka Holiday. Welcome to Wikipedia.

Since you've been creating some articles that are more like doctionary defnitions, you should check out our sister site, www.wiktionary.org. And don't take it personally, but articles like superfantasmic will probably be deleted -- or perhaps moved to Wiktionary.

You might find these links helpful in creating new pages or helping with the above tasks: How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should read our policies at some point too.

BCorr | Брайен 02:10, May 3, 2004 (UTC)

Hi Vholiday, a quick note just to add to Bcorr's welcome message - we use free links here not CamelCase, to form a link use double square brackets around a word or phrase, which renders like this. So, article tites should be written with spaces, and only capitalise (except for the first letter of the first word) where you have to - so it's Pygmalion effect, not PygmalionEffect. :) Welcome to wikipedia and feel free to ask me any questions.  fabiform | talk 02:17, 3 May 2004 (UTC)

Taksim Square

Taksim Square (Taksim Meydanı, ), situated in Beyoğlu in the European part of Istanbul, Turkey, is a major tourist and leisure district famed for its restaurants, shops, and hotels. It is considered the heart of modern Istanbul, with the central station of the Istanbul Metro network. Taksim Square is also the location of the Republic Monument (Cumhuriyet Anıtı) which was crafted by Pietro Canonica and inaugurated in 1928. The monument commemorates the 5th anniversary of the foundation of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, following the Turkish War of Independence.

The square is flanked to the south by The Marmara Hotel, to the east by the Atatürk Cultural Centre, to the north by Gezi Park and to the west by Taksim Mosque. Several major roads converge on the square: Gümüşsuyu Caddesi, Cumhuriyet Caddesi, Tarlabaşı Bulvarı, İstiklal Caddesi and Sıraselviler Caddesi.

History
The word Taksim means "division" or "distribution" in Arabic. Taksim Square was originally the point where the main water lines from the north of Istanbul were collected and branched off to other parts of the city (hence the name.) This use for the area was established by Sultan Mahmud I. The square takes its name from the Ottoman era stone reservoir which is located along one side of the square.

Another significant building that once stood on the square was the 19th century Taksim Artillery Barracks (Taksim Kışlası, which later became the Taksim Stadium), but which was demolished in 1940 during the construction works in accordance with the plans of French architect and city planner Henri Prost for Taksim Square and Taksim Gezi Park.

Taksim Gezi Park is a small green park in the midst of the concrete expanse of central Istanbul. In 2013, the city municipality, wanting to rebuild the old barracks as a shopping venue on the site of the park, began forcefully removing protesters who had set up camp in the park. After news spread of the police brutality, thousands of people rallied in the Occupy Taksim movement, to stop the demolition of the park. As of 2013, the status of the demolition project was in limbo, the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government has the Police stationed in and around Taksim Square ready with riot control equipment to deter any large demonstrations.

Present day
Monument_of_the_Republic,_Istanbul,_group.jpg (1928) at

Taksim Square, crafted by Italian sculptor Pietro Canonica.]] Taksim is a main transportation hub and a popular destination for both tourists and residents of Istanbul. İstiklal Caddesi (Independence Avenue), a long pedestrian shopping street, ends at this square, and a nostalgic tram runs from the square along the avenue, ending near the Tünel (1875) which is the world's second-oldest subway line after London's Underground (1863). In addition to serving as the main transfer point for the municipal bus system, Taksim Square is also the terminus of the Hacıosman-4. Levent-Taksim-Yenikapı subway line of the Istanbul Metro.

Taksim's position was given an extra boost on June 29, 2006, when the new Kabataş-Taksim Funicular line F1 connecting the Taksim Metro station with the Kabataş tramway station and Seabus port was opened, allowing people to ascend to Taksim in just 110 seconds.

Surrounding Taksim Square are numerous travel agencies, hotels, restaurants, pubs, and international fast food chains such as Pizza Hut, McDonald's, Subway, and Burger King. It is also home to some of Istanbul's grandest hotels including the InterContinental, the Divan, and The Marmara Hotel. Taksim used to be a favourite location for public events such as parades, New Year celebrations, and other social gatherings, although since 2016 permission has rarely been given for such gatherings.

Atatürk Cultural Center (Atatürk Kültür Merkezi), a multi-purpose concert hall and cultural centre reopened after renovation in 2021, is also located in Taksim Square. It faces the Taksim Square Mosque which also opened 2021.

Demonstrations and incidents
The square used to be an important venue for political protests.

 * On February 16, 1969, some 150 leftist demonstrators were injured during clashes with right wing groups in what is known as "Bloody Sunday".
 * In the events known as the Taksim Square massacre, 36 left-wing demonstrators were killed by unidentified and allegedly right-wing gunmen on the square during the Labour Day demonstrations of May 1, 1977.
 * On 10 August 1982, Artin Penik, a Turkish Armenian, set himself on fire to protest the Esenboga airport attack by the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia.
 * Taksim Square was the location of football riots in 2000 when two Leeds United fans were stabbed to death during clashes with Galatasaray fans, the night before the 1999-2000 UEFA Cup semi-final first leg match between the two teams.
 * On October 31, 2010, a suicide bomb went off next to a police bus. The bomber, a TAK militant, died, while 15 police officers and 17 civilians were injured.
 * A march to protest the Circassian genocide took place in May 2011.

Following many other violent incidents, all protests and demonstrations were banned and today police units maintain a round-the-clock presence to prevent any incidents. It is many years since either May Day or New Year's Day events were permitted to take place in the square, with much of the surrounding area usually fenced off for the day and the Metro station often closed to prevent people gathering.

Gezi Park protests

In 2013, protests took place in Taksim in opposition to the reconstruction of the Ottoman era Taksim Military Barracks (demolished in 1940 to create Gezi Park) and a shopping centre on the site of Gezi Park. In the early morning of May 31, police forces moved in on the demonstrators and people sleeping in tents, and tried to disperse them with tear gas, pepperspray and water cannons.

The demonstrators criticized Prime Minister (now President) Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for his uncompromising stance on this controversial issue and for the Turkish police's excessive use of force against the demonstrators.

The large number of trees in the forests of northern Istanbul that were cut down to provide access to the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge (Third Bosphorus Bridge) and the new Istanbul International Airport (the world's largest airport)  were other factors that triggered the Gezi Park protests. According to official Turkish government data, a total of 2,330,012 trees have been cut down to make way for the airport and its road connections; while a further 381,096  trees were cut down to make way for the highways leading to the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge.

The Mantra (meme against White Genocide)
Hello ,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, The Mantra (meme against White Genocide), may be copied from http://www.whitakeronline.org/blog/the-white-mantra/. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 22:40, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Mantra (meme against White Genocide)

A tag has been placed on The Mantra (meme against White Genocide), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

I was unaware of that deleted article when I started a new Draft:James Corbett (journalist) on 19 May, 2016 that was rejected. I've been revising it here and there since. Recent events spurred me on (feel free to ask me or watch this video then read the TCR comments section (not the YouTube comments) for the full disclosure of my involvement: https://www.corbettreport.com/what-i-learned-from-the-propornot-propaganda-list/ ). I discovered the deleted article and folded it into the new draft. Feel free to contribute as you like. ~  JasonCarswell   (talk)   22:16, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

NBA Rookie of the Year Award

The National Basketball Association's Rookie of the Year Award is an annual National Basketball Association (NBA) award given to the top rookie(s) of the regular season. Initiated following the 1952–53 NBA season, it confers the Eddie Gottlieb Trophy, named after the former Philadelphia Warriors head coach. Since the 2022–23 NBA season, winners receive the Wilt Chamberlain Trophy, named after the former Rookie of the Year winner.

The winner is selected by a panel of United States and Canadian sportswriters and broadcasters, each casting first-, second-, and third-place votes (worth five points, three points, and one point, respectively). The player(s) with the highest point total, regardless of the number of first-place votes, wins the award.

The most recent Rookie of the Year winner is Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs. Twenty-two winners were drafted first overall. Sixteen winners have also won the NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) award in their careers with Wilt Chamberlain and Wes Unseld earning both honors the same season. Thirty of the non-active winners have been elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Three seasons had joint winners—Dave Cowens and Geoff Petrie in the, Grant Hill and Jason Kidd in the , and Elton Brand and Steve Francis in the 1999–2000 season. Seven players won the award unanimously (by capturing all of the first-place votes)—Lew Alcindor, Ralph Sampson, David Robinson, Blake Griffin, Damian Lillard, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Victor Wembanyama.

Patrick Ewing of Jamaica, Pau Gasol of Spain, Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons of Australia, Andrew Wiggins of Canada, Luka Dončić of Slovenia, and Victor Wembanyama of France are the only winners not born in the United States. Three of these individuals have dual nationality by birth—Wiggins and Simmons have American fathers, and both of Irving's parents are Americans. Ewing immigrated to the Boston area at age 11, Irving moved to the United States at age 2, and Wiggins and Simmons moved to the U.S. while in high school. Gasol, Dončić, and Wembanyama are the only winners trained entirely outside the United States.

Chamberlain (Harlem Globetrotters), Gasol (FC Barcelona of Liga ACB and EuroLeague), Dončić (Real Madrid of Liga ACB and EuroLeague), LaMelo Ball (BC Prienai of the Lithuanian Basketball League, the Los Angeles Ballers of the JBA, and the Illawarra Hawks of the NBL), and Wembanyama (Nanterre 92, ASVEL, and Metropolitans 92 of LNB Élite) all had professional careers outside the NBA prior to being drafted. Ball also had previously won the NBL Rookie of the Year Award.

Unofficial winners
Prior to the season, the Rookie of the Year was selected by newspaper writers; however, the NBA does not officially recognize those players as winners. The league published the pre-1953 winners in their 1994–95 edition of the Official NBA Guide and the 1994 Official NBA Basketball Encyclopedia, but those winners have not been listed in subsequent publications.

Concept art
Are these concept-art images copyrighted? -- Wapcaplet 02:17, 3 May 2004 (UTC)

What does SP stand for? Its the blue bar in the middle and its never used.--72.83.129.240 (talk) 17:02, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Originating page lists no copyright, nor are there any copyrights shown on or embedded in the images as far as I can tell. Still though, if preferable, I could replace the character graphics by in-game screenshots that I'll make myself... :: DarkLordSeth 13:11, 3 May 2004 (UTC)

Well, just because there is no copyright stated does not mean the images are necessarily in the public domain or GFDL-licensed. Unless you make the image yourself, or have express permission from the copyright holder to use images on Wikipedia, use of copyrighted images is generally frowned-upon. Check out the image use policy for details. IMHO, it'd be better to use in-game screenshots, since those are usually considered fair use (see here). They are nice concept drawings, though - you may want to see about contacting the creator(s) for permission to use them here. See this page for tips on how to do that. Cheers! -- Wapcaplet 21:30, 3 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Copy that! I'd love to do this but uhm... The copyright owner's webpage is in Japanese. Even though I can find my way around based on sheer luck and slight hints of english on that site, I don't know if they'll read or reply to a request made in english. Then again, no pain, no gain! I'll comment the character graphics for the time being until I got a positive reply from Game Arts. And thank you for the templates and further info regarding screenshots. :) :: DarkLordSeth 23:18, 3 May 2004 (UTC)

Inhibiting Glitches
Could someone please dig up some information on the "inhibiting glitches" mentioned in the first paragraph? I've played both the PC and PS2 version and I didn't see any. I would be nice if we could specify what these glitches are. --JiFish 19:49, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

I don't know about the PS2 version but with the pc port it does have a few bugs, when a player casts a spell most of the time in the background or replacing the characters onscreen an avi video file will play with the fire or "ice" etc spell images. The problem is that it will not continue the battle until playback of the movie has been completed, and some movie file like "Millenia's fallen wings attack" have redundant frame data at the end of the file which give the appearance of a system freeze as it runs for atleast two minutes more than it should. By editing the avi file and removing the excess frames you can fix one of the annoying bugs in the game yourself or you could insert your own video and have lord of the rings run for 9 hours each time certain attacks are selected. Atirage 13:04, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Those bugs are all real. I've personally experienced the Millenia Battle bug. Izaak

I can't say anything about the PC version, but I never seen any Glitches in the PS2 version, and the "Millenia'a fallen wing attack" is my favorite and use it alot, I have never experience any glitches! Manc84 11:30, 29 December 2006

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Aemilianus. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Aemilianus~enwiki 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. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

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 21:40, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Archaeogastropoda

Archaeogastropoda (also known as Aspidobranchia ) was a taxonomic order of sea snails used in older classifications of gastropods, i.e. snails and slugs. Archeogastropoda are marine prosobranch gastropod mollusks, mainly herbivores, typically having two gills and a double-chambered heart, with the eggs and sperm discharged directly into the water. They were traditionally regarded as a relatively primitive group.

This older classification of the gastropods is based on the classification of Johannes Thiele (1925). This classification was not based on true phylogenetic relationships, but on more general affinities between the groups. In the last few years, two new cladistic taxonomies of the gastropods have been published (in 1997 and 2005). This has led to an extensive reclassification of gastropod taxa. The taxon Archaeogastropoda was found to be a paraphyletic group, and therefore unacceptable in a strictly cladistic classification.

In the 1997 classification, most of the former Archaeogastropoda were included in:
 * subclass Eogastropoda
 * order Patellogastropoda (limpets)
 * subclass Orthogastropoda
 * Superorder Vetigastropoda Salvini-Plawen, 1989
 * Superorder Neritaemorphi Koken, 1896 (with the order Neritopsina Cox & Knight, 1960 ).

A more detailed classification can be found on Gastropoda.

Older system of classification

 * Order Archaeogastropoda
 * Superfamily Pleurotomariacea
 * Family Pleurotomariidae
 * Family Haliotidae
 * Family Scissurellidae
 * Superfamily Fissurellacea
 * Family Fissurellidae
 * Superfamily Patellacea

Talk:RPL (programming language)

RPL acronym
Is Reverse Polish LISP truly a synonym for Reverse Polish Language, or is RP LISP a separate thing that uses the concept of RP Language within the context of the LISP language?

 * Thanks for the comment; the article is now updated to reflect this. In fact the term Reverse Polish language is unheard-of, since it might just as well mean FORTH... --Wernher 03:18, 3 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Actually RPL stands for Rom-based Procedural Language (source : HP journal) --Apc005 (talk) 18:31, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

 * There is a definite controversy; I shall edit the article to reflect this. 98.225.16.76 (talk) 00:26, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
 * There is no controversy. This is just made up. Over all those decades, RPL stood for "Reverse Polish Lisp" (but was used only as an acronym). This can be sourced in uncountable sources. The fact that a single source tried to be "smart" and invented the term "ROM-based procedural language" out of blue air does not change this a bit. While we should write from a neutral point of view, we also have a responsibility not to present and further spread false information or give undue weight to unimportant stuff, and we certainly have no obligation to pick the single source which got it wrong. "ROM-based procedural language" is a meaningless and misleading invention by someone who was obviously clueless about RPL's actual meaning, but who also must have been clueless about the technical background, as being ROM-based and being a procedural language are both common-place properties found in uncountable other languages as well and not describing anything special or important in RPL, whereas the properties, which stand out, being stack-based and object-oriented, don't get mentioned. "ROM-based procedural language" is as wrong as "Reverse Polish Logic" (mentioned further above) or "Rich People's Language" (as Bill Wickes suggested jokingly when asked about the actual meaning of the term RPL).
 * For comparison: There are also people, who have no clue about the meaning of the term BIOS and call it "Binary operating system" or claim it to be derived from the Greek word for "life". If you search the net you will even find reliably looking references citing this. However, BIOS always stood and still stands for "Basic Input/Output System" (a term coined by Gary Kildall, nothing else, so we don't even mention some clueless people's guesswork in our BIOS article. Similarly, we shouldn't even mention "ROM-based procedural language" in our article about RPL, but if we do, not in any prominent way (as we do now). It's deliberately misleading. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 14:01, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Postfix conditional structures
There is a simple postfix-based way to implement if/then/else structures, which RPN purists would prefer.

The following example uses the IFT ("if-then") function to pop an object from the bottom of the stack, and if it is equal to 1, replace it with "One":

« 1 == "One" IFT »

The following example uses the IFTE ("if-then-else") function to pop an object from the bottom of the stack, and if it is equal to 1, replace it with "One", otherwise replace it with "Not one":

« 1 == "One" "Not" IFTE »

These structures can of course be nested. Both of the following examples pop an object from the bottom of the stack, and replace it with "One", "Less", or "More", depending on whether it is equal to, less than, or greater than 1.

«  DUP 1 == « DROP "One" » « 1 < "Less" "More" IFTE » IFTE » « -> x  « x 1 == "One" « x 1 < "Less" "More" IFTE » IFTE » »

Four level stack?
"Contrary to previous HP RPN calculators, which had a fixed four-level stack, the stack used by RPL is only limited by available calculator RAM."

I have a 48gx and it is not stack limited. A quick test gave me more than 50 items in the stack. I assume it is limited only by memory.

I don't know if other RPN calculators are stack limited. Ponjo (talk) 01:01, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Since the 48 is an RPL calculator, what is your point? My 41 has a four level stack. Thyl Engelhardt 213.70.217.172 (talk) 08:36, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Recursive functions etc
I just got a HP 50g yesterday, and this is my first 'advanced' calculator so I'm in heaven :) I think this article could discuss the actual features of rpl a bit more. If no one else does so, I'll add the stuff myself but I guess I should get a few months of experience first.

Some questions I'd like answered are: How to make recursive function calls? Can the compiler/interpreter transform tail recursion into simple loops? Are the types ordered in some kind of hirarchy or is the type space flat? Can one add new types (e.g. 'quaternions') and have them work with e.g the '+' function?

I'll find out soon enough, but as I said, the article could mention this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.126.207.212 (talk) 04:26, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

general purposeness
If this is basically usable aas a general purpose language who's main availability happens to be calculator programming (as it appears on cursory glance it might, or might mostly), I (just little old me) think such should be 1 of the most obviouse aspects of the article itself. If not how far away is it from such, and in what way. My bias is great, here. I basically no nothing about computers, and thats the 1st thing I wanted to know and looked to the article to find.

Variants: wrong and overblown
In Variants: the language is overblown. Serious crash? Who dies from it? It's just a calculator. Reset it and move on.

As far as System RPL only being available via external tools, this certainly does not apply to the 50g. The HP doc (Advanced User Guide) explains how to code in Sys RPL and even ARM assembly with onboard tools that come preloaded from the factory. I don't know how far back this goes, but I believe Sys RPL was available natively on the 48 series as well. Someone who knows definitely should fix this all at once.87.68.23.11 (talk) 08:02, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Lisp?
And what's the relation to Lisp? The resemblance of RPL to FORTH is obvious, one could even argue that it is a FORTH system (and if not, it should be explained why not and what the differences are), but Lisp? Where are the lists, Symbols, Macros? How are functions defined and as argument given to other functions? Or was the name in the end just a marketing-stunt? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.181.225.53 (talk) 18:57, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

 * If I may quote William C. Wickes, the creator of RPL, "Several existing operating systems and languages were considered, but none could meet all of the design objectives. We therefore proceeded with the development of a new system, which merges the threaded interpretation of Forth with the functional approach of Lisp."

 * RPL is a concatenative programming language, at least in System-RPL. This means that operations in the RPL runstream consist of postfix function composition. In RPL, a "composite object", such as an RPL "secondary" ( basically an anonymous function ) can be concatenated with other composite objects of the same type, which was influenced by Lisp. Composite objects are essentially collections of other objects and composite objects, like lists in Lisp. RPL also has traditional lists, which are another type of composite object that are structurally almost the same as secondaries. Jdbtwo (talk) 20:15, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Object oriented?
I don't know why this article's main infobox lists RPL as "object oriented." For a language data type to qualify as "object oriented" it must at least exhibit encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism, none of which RPL "objects" exhibit. If there are no complaints, I'll go ahead and remove "object oriented" from the main infobox. Jdbtwo (talk) 18:24, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I do object. :-) Object-oriented can mean a lot of things and certainly not everything that may be associated with it in more current programming languages. I therefore restored the term, and added "partially" as a compromise. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 12:53, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

 * rpl has no concept of 'fields' or 'methods' which are required concepts for a language to be considered "oo", as per wikipedia's _own article_. Secondly, rpl objects are neither 'data' or 'code' because rpl has no distinction between 'data' and 'code'. Everything is a self-identifying, self-executing binary blob, even constants such as 1 and strings such as "1". Third, rpl has no concept of neither inheritance, polymorphism nor encapsulation. Functions such as NEG which can take various types of arguments, from numbers to lists to bitmaps, are simply functions that delegate the processing to other more specific functions. Saying rpl is object-oriented is at best just plain wrong. Finally, user rpl and system rpl are not dialects. There is no, nor can be, a system that runs one but not the other, as per the description of the language in its definitive documentation, rplman.doc --gtsiros
 * -- (unsigned) 2021-12-07T04:58:11 91.140.68.150
 * George, while it is true that many of the concepts you list are associated with object-oriented programming languages today, it is not true that they are part of the core definition, and our own article on object-oriented languages also does not state so. The very concept you describe that there's a structure (the stack) which can not only hold one particular type of operand(s) (like plain numbers), but almost anything from scalars, lists, vectors, matrices to bitmaps or programs, and that operators act differently depending on the type of operands applied to them is what makes it object-oriented. I changed the wording to "partially" to indicate that this must not be understood as if RPL would support all new concepts implemented in object-oriented languages today.
 * --Matthiaspaul (talk) 11:18, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * According to Wikipedia's own article on OOP, at a bare minimum, a language is considered to be OO if it conforms to the "programming paradigm based on the concept of 'objects', which can contain data and code. The data is in the form of fields (often known as attributes or properties), and the code is in the form of procedures (often known as methods)."( Quoted from Object-oriented programming (this version) ) RPL "objects" *have no concept of fields/attributes/properties* -- they are just code or data prefixed with an address, called the object prolog, which handles the execution of the specific type of data or code that is contained in the object body. Furthermore, RPL objects *do not contain* procedures/methods associated with the data or code in the object body. RPL "objects" are not even "object-based" because of this : "The term object-based language may be used in a technical sense to describe any programming language that uses the idea of encapsulating state and operations inside objects." (Quoted from Object-based language (this version))
 * Given, RPL, being a TIL, has an associated data stack ( like eg. Forth ), but that does not make it OO. The stack is just a collection of pointers to RPL "objects." The behavior you describe is not present in System-RPL, which IMO, isn't adequately described in this article. You're describing the behavior of *User-RPL* which utilizes System-RPL routines to perform argument number and type checking and System-RPL routines to delegate operations on different types of RPL "objects" (defined by their prologs) to the associated appropriate System-RPL code.
 * I think the confusion here is the word "object" in the context of RPL, which was originally introduced by W.C. Wickes' "RPL : A Mathematical Control Language". In the aforementioned paper, the author *never mentions* OOP -- what defines RPL is the generalized RPL inner loop which has no relation to OOP.
 * Jdbtwo (talk) 17:44, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Also, the web pages / documents referenced to support the premise that RPL is in any way OO is, AFAIK, not supported by said web pages / documents. Unless someone can provide a definitive reference that shows that RPL is OO (which is unlikely, given the abundance of sources that contradict this and not *one* reliable source that explicitly states that RPL is OO), I recommend that "object oriented" be taken out of the main infobox.
 * Jdbtwo (talk) 17:19, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
 * The sources referenced in the main infobox to support that RPL is OO seem cherry picked and in error -- they are secondary or tertiary sources that contradict the definition of what RPL "objects" are and *provide no substantiation in the how or why* : Why RPL is OO and how it is implemented. To quote the "Procedural programming and object-oriented programming" section of the first source ("Programming the HP 49 G Calculator in User RPL Language" by Gilberto E. Urroz ) :
 * Jdbtwo (talk) 17:19, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
 * The sources referenced in the main infobox to support that RPL is OO seem cherry picked and in error -- they are secondary or tertiary sources that contradict the definition of what RPL "objects" are and *provide no substantiation in the how or why* : Why RPL is OO and how it is implemented. To quote the "Procedural programming and object-oriented programming" section of the first source ("Programming the HP 49 G Calculator in User RPL Language" by Gilberto E. Urroz ) :

 * In terms of somehow claiming that RPL is OO, the author provides no substantive explanation of why this is or how it is implemented and the whole section is a non sequitur in the specific context of OOP as regards RPL. The second source does not mention OOP in any way. For the third source, we have someone on the HP Museum forums stating "On the other hand, RPL is a full-fledged, complicated, object-oriented language, which requires the user to deal with the vagaries and complications necessarily associated with such an OOP language, thus negating all simplicity and requiring its users to become what they'd rather not.", again, without providing any substantive proof regarding whether RPL is OO -- including this as a reference for OO seems to be cherry picking.
 * I will now go ahead and remove OO from the main infobox.
 * Jdbtwo (talk) 17:15, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I do not agree with the removal of the phrase. I have therefore restored what was meant as a compromise "partially objected-oriented". There is no single and fixed definition of "object-oriented", in fact, language designers, scholars and standards have quite different and sometimes contradicting ideas of what properties define "object-oriented", definitions even changed over time.
 * --Matthiaspaul (talk) 21:15, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
 * You likely also do not agree with the statement your statements make you read as being a complete fool, but that doesn't make it untrue. HP RPL is slightly more object-oriented than assembly language.  The stack being able to handle multiple types of data or operators behaving differently depending upon data type is a common property of interpreted computer programming languages.  HP RPL has a number of fixed types, you cannot attach methods/functions to a type.
 * Since I do not wish to participate in an edit war, I am not modifying the page. Tagging HP RPL as object-oriented is the most ignorant claim I've run across in the past year.  Are you presently or do you plan to be employed as a comedian?  Alas most engineers are disgusted by this sort of inaccuracy. 74.104.188.4 (talk) 04:13, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
 * It seems that you ignored my systematic deconstruction of each of the references and my conclusion that none of said references provide verifiable proof that supports the claim that RPL is in any way “object oriented.” As I said before, RPL “objects” are just plain data types which do not posses even the weak “object based” structure : they do not encapsulate state with executable code ( ie. methods ) which operates on that state. I think that if Wickes’ paper had use “structure” instead of “object” there’d be no contention on this issue.
 * In the interest of preventing an edit war, I’m sending this to dispute resolution. Jdbtwo (talk) 18:54, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * As you did not respond to the request for dispute resolution and a moderated discussion, and, because the moderator and I reached a “rough consensus” that RPL is in no way OO, I am ( again ) removing the “partially object-oriented” paradigm from the main infobox. Jdbtwo (talk) 18:50, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 * There is indeed one "single and fixed definition of 'object-oriented'." Namely object-based languages. This minimal definition of an OO language at least requires that the language in question has data types that incorporate state on which procedures associated with those data types, or are in other words encapsulated with the state ( methods ) act on said state -- RPL has none of this. The first OO languages -- languages like Simula, Modula or Smalltalk -- at least fit the definition of "object-based." The languages in the start of the evolution of OOP, the ones that "language designers, scholars and standards have quite different and sometimes contradicting ideas of what properties define 'object-oriented'", definitions even changed over time", all at least share the property of "object-based" and I should mention that "Object-based languages that do not support inheritance or subtyping are usually not considered to be true object-oriented languages" ( Quoted from Object-based_language (this version) ) -- RPL supports none of this. RPL supports no encapsulation, polymorphism or inheritance, and certainly no message passing. An RPL "object" is data or executable code that is prefixed by the address of the code which determines what to do with said "object" depending on whether it is executed directly or indirectly. Furthermore, in RPL, there is no concept of "method", "member" ( encapsulation ) or even "function" -- everything ( except so-called "PCOs" or "primitive code objects" ) is just an address that is followed by a type-specific number of nibbles/bytes, where the code at said address determines what happens upon direct or indirect evaluation. In other words, RPL "objects" are just data types from a fixed set of data types supported by the RPL OS, and on the Saturn RPL calculators a significant number of those data types are not accessible by the user. Stating that RPL is even *close* to being an OOP is like saying that since ANSI C can create structures with data and function pointers in them ( ala GNU Gobject ) then ANSI C is a fully blown OOP. This argument can even be applied to assembly language which, with the help of macros, can do the same -- so is assembly language OO? Jdbtwo (talk) 16:12, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Challenges to QCD by others
I can see that there are a number of experts here on the whole topic of QCD and perhaps someone can comment - either here in the discussion or possibly integrated in the body of the article itself - regarding some criticism of QCD that I read about rather recently in a book. The author is trying to present a new theory based on magnetic monopoles (not Dirac monopoles) rather than the Quark-Gluon / color-charge model of QCD, and in the process presents a number of compelling questions about QCD, including (just paraphrasing from what I remember from the book): I don't have much of a background in physics at all- I just stumbled on the book at one point and recall that he made a compelling argument against QCD and for his own monopole model, which he claims - quite convincingly- answers all of the questions that he raised against QCD. Frankly, I think that it would be great if we could collect all of the arguments (with refutations) in either a section of the article or in a separate article. Any thoughts would be welcome and appreciated. Thanks, Michael. 209.250.153.11 (talk) 18:50, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
 * the rise of cross-section for both elastic and inelastic proton-proton scattering
 * charge density of the neutron
 * tensor force in neucleons
 * the presence and location of additional quark-antiquark pairs
 * There was also some mathematic proof about gordon-klein (?) being inconsistant
 * proton spin crisis
 * the fact that the color force is the reverse of all other forces in nature (where the intensity diminishes with the distance or a power thereof- rather than getting stronger when quarks are separated)
 * the lack of finding of any particles predicted by QCD like 4-quark, 5-quark, glueballs, etc.

Mathematical Model
As far as I understand this, these are principal fibre bundles on a space-time base space. The fibres in the electrodynamical case are SU(1) (i.e. the unity circle) with sections the electrodynamical vector potentials; In chromodynamics they are SU(3), the sections being tensor potentials with values in complex three-dimensional space, the self-representation of SU(3). So there are three principal fibre bundles: Besides these two there is the tangent (or cotangent) bundle, in which general relativity takes place. If that is so, there is the question: What changes if we change the base space from one cosmological model to another? And how fits unification and grand unification into these mathematical structures? Local symmetries are invariance transformations in the tangent bundle, global ones are transformations in the whole multi-dimensional manifold. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.20.6.200 (talk) 10:35, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

New article gluon field and a QCD question
I split content from gluon field strength tensor to gluon field because the two fields are different, and there is lots of literature on these fields, so maybe separate articles could develop the mathematics carefully. We have electromagnetic four-potential and electromagnetic tensor, so why not similarly for the strong interaction? If there are strong (excuse pun) opinions to explain the fields together (as it happened with position and momentum space) then we can always merge.

Concerning the section quantum chromodynamics: the $$\tilde{\mathbf{G}}$$ seems to be exactly the same as $$\mathcal{A}$$ for the gluon field, so I'm changing the notation, just as an IP did here. Posting here to for others to comment in advance.

Thanks for any corrections highlighted in advance. M∧Ŝc2ħεИτlk 21:57, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Transplant of curvature 2-form expression from this article to gluon field strength tensor
See this cut and paste. This article gives the tensor expression for the Lagrangian and the gluon field strength:

 * $$G^a_{\mu \nu} = \partial_\mu \mathcal{A}^a_\nu - \partial_\nu \mathcal{A}^a_\mu + g f^{abc} \mathcal{A}^b_\mu \mathcal{A}^c_\nu \,,$$

which is enough - we don't need the differential forms... M∧Ŝc2ħεИτlk 21:18, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

the color connection field and it's gauge symmetry
If we rotate the color axis among a neutrally colored quark group, everything remains as it was for the color connection field is a gauge symmetric field. Some scientists claim that at a large number of rotations some discrepancies might be revealed, and that will help us understand more about gravity and the relationship between the strong and the electroweak force. We have to design that experiment and make sure that in the process we do not cancel out these statistical discrepancies. One proposal is that when different quark groups rotate close to each other, few quarks might briefly become part of the other group or even part with virtual quarks, and especially that virtual quarks aren't totally symmetrical because they occur via complex virtual particle interactions that include the weak force (even indirectly, as not a first direct step of the interaction sequence) with it's broken symmetries.

History section not clear on : Was the proposal of SU(3) in 1965 the final part of QCD theory ? Are the calculation methods (eg lattice QCD?) considered part of QCD ?

Lattice QCD

Quark Velocity
I believe near light speed velocity is critical for the creation of mass.

It is necessary for several reasons: 1) to produce a field capable of both building strength and causing a mass effect.

2) to have a special prolonged interaction with passing field intensity calls for motion near the speed of the field.

There used to be many sources of quark speed info but today they seem to be harder to find. I have heard that the speed is within the range of 0.8C and 99.995C.

Bill field pulse (talk) 22:18, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Do you have a specific change you’d like to make to the article? This is a place for discussing the article, not its subject. OverzealousAutocorrect (talk) 18:58, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I would like to make a brief statement about quark velocity. Bill field pulse (talk) 21:55, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Which is..? You refer broadly to the "speed of quarks", but being massive particles they can take on any velocity 0≤v<c. It's not clear what change a "statement about quark velocity" would be. OverzealousAutocorrect (talk) 12:47, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I would like to say: It is difficult to determine experimentally how quarks move in normal speed protons because to detect quarks requires accelerating protons to speeds which prevent the chromodynamic motion. No particles can move at C hence high nucleon speeds removes speed available for chromodynamic motion. The need for high proton speed is per ref CMS Collaboration physics briefing 13 June 2022 regarding the Large Hadron collider. Bill field pulse (talk) 21:32, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
 * It is probable that quarks don't undergo much more motion than the overall proton; the proton being the bound state of the three constituent quarks, the three quark momenta must sum to the momentum of the proton, so... Yes, it is difficult to experimentally determine the motion of quarks at low speed, but it doesn't matter much anyway due to their confinement within the proton below an extremely high temperature. OverzealousAutocorrect (talk) 01:42, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I believe that gravity is a net backward push caused by a passing EM intensity peak however this requires motion in the direction of the EM peak where resistance to C makes the forward push weaker than the gravity direction push. Clearly this would require relativistic speeds. However, I also believe that space does not like to be held steady in a charged state hence cycling at high speed is more stable than slow velocity. This is why I feel quarks move much faster than the proton and it is also why electrons do not clump together with the proton. And why nucleonic attraction has a peak at the proton diameter and getting too close is highly repulsive. Bill field pulse (talk) 19:06, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Nucleonic attraction peaks at the proton diameter because the residual strong force has to overcome the electromagnetic force, not the other way around; besides you haven't stated exactly what you want to be stated in the article or provided any resources to back up any of your (hard-to-understand) claims. If you wouldn't mind laying out what you want to be changed in a "change X to Y with Z sources" manner, that would be appreciated. OverzealousAutocorrect (talk) 17:58, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
