94th United States Congress

The 94th United States Congress was a meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, composed of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. It met in Washington, D.C., from January 3, 1975, to January 3, 1977, during the last two years of Gerald Ford's presidency.

This is the most recent Congress with a Republican senator from Hawaii, Hiram Fong, and Democratic senators from Utah and Wyoming, Frank Moss and Gale W. McGee. Fong retired and the other two lost re-election at the end of the 94th Congress.

The apportionment of seats in this House of Representatives was based on the 1970 United States census. The Democrats not only maintained their majorities in the House and Senate, but would increase their numbers to supermajority status in both chambers.

Talk:Metric (unit)

Edited for content. Still needs the overhaul. Who in the world put part of the metric system in this? Phil.andy.graves (talk) 21:55, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

This is a highly specific usage of a very general term,.. and sooner or later it is going to have to get a qualified title and a disambig page. However there doesn't seem to be any reason to interfere until pages on alternative usages start to turn up. seglea 08:14, 26 May 2004 (UTC)

I must confess I don't reallly understand this article. Could someone give expamples of some metrics and the field they are used in? Number 0 10:26, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Metrics are typically used to help make decisions. An example is Return on Investment.

metrics in a nutshell
naval metrics are a way for someone sitting at a computer trying to solve a problem without just going out and getting it fixed right the first time, sort of like having a meeting. Nothing actually gets done, but you get to talk about it —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.15.178.130 (talk) 16:09, 12 March 2007 (UTC).

 * In my distant, more youthful past I came up with a M.E.T.R.I.C.S. acronym that seemed highly appropriate:
 * More Employees Typing Rubbish Into Computing Systems.
 * The point was, of course, that the data was only as accurate as people chose to enter it. Since then I've argued for automating all metrics data collection. Any other approach is highly error-prone and non-conservative. — RJH (talk) 22:34, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

"Metrics are a system of parameters or ways of quantitative and periodic assessment of a process that is to be measured, along with the procedures to carry out such measurement and the procedures for the interpretation of the assessment in the light of previous or comparable assessments." We need something less verbose and more to the point; I can almost see the monocle and the glass of brandy in this lecturer's hand! Less is more guys. Hopefully, our more technically-inclined peers in wikipedia can edit this barrage of grandiloquence. ---philosopher2king November 2007

Stop. Stop Right Now, This could not be more wrong.
Wikipedia is not a Dictionary, and I ahve yet to find a dictionary that defines the word "Metrics" as anything close to what this article claims. The word "Metrics" can be used to describe mathematical statistics and measurements as they relate to a given field i.e. "Biometrics" but the use of the suffuix "metrics" as a free-standing word is ridiculous (unless it is describing poetry. music or the Metric system of measurement specifically), and stems primarliy from corporate culture cliche-speak, not from any real foundation in language.

This word's emergence and use in this improper context is lazy, a fallacy and should be abolished immediately. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.60.23.82 (talk) 20:47, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

drunk persons interpretation
Read it three times, I thought it made sense. My understanding of it is: solely from reading the wiki... It is a term describing the quantifying of measurement, of anything, a general term. It is one step from a massive philosophical argument. I may be wrong. Symbol-tastic. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.69.20.20 (talk) 01:01, 30 March 2007 (UTC).

I have to admit that in spite of the good intentions, reading this discussion page was no help either. "Quantifying of measurements"? That's tautological; measurements are quantifiable! That's like saying "dance-able ballet music"! Thanks for trying though :) By philosopher2king ---November2007

The article starts with horrendous grammar: "Metrics are a system * * *" Do multiple systems qualify as metrics? Is metrics "a" system? I have seen some attempt to define a "metric" as a performance target, including the target value and units. (I have not seen any dictionary entry that supports this.) The buzzword "Key Performance Indicator" is the title or description of the performance data to be measured. Hence one might have a "scorecard" which lists the KPI in one column, the metric (target) in the second, and the actual results in the third.Rpclod (talk) 16:20, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg
Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

A Proper Definition is Critical
The concept of "Metrics" is a universally fundamental concept. They are how most living things relate to the universe. They are measures and without such, we cannot describe.

Sometimes metrics are physically tangible, such as time, space, temperature, pressure: - The house is 4 miles from here. - It's 3 o'clock - It's 70F outside today

... or somewhat subjective, such as employee performance, brightness, softness, sometimes expressed as adjectives - That painting uses vibrant colors - The paper tears easily

... or very subjective; desireability, attractiveness,... - She is beautiful - I really want that car

Yes, "really" is a metric, it is a subjective form of the degree the person "wants".

Note that you cannot control or improve what you do not measure. You cannot control a paint brush if you cannot measure where it is relative to the the palete or canvas. You cannot control house temperature without measuring what it is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JWMcLeod2 (talk • contribs) 16:36, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Proposal for article move and edits
ojoujiuiuyi uuiyi To conform to Wikipehttps://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Metric_(unit)&action=edit#dia conventions, such as the use of singulars for topic titles, I propose moving this article to Metric (measurement standard).

Then I propose the following edits for the first paragraph of the article. I think my language is more succinct and direct. On the other hand, I probably ought to come up with a citation to support it. I'll try to find one, but does anyone else have a suitable one, assuming you agree with my change?

 * A metric is may be a standard unit of measure, such as meter or mile for length, or gram or ton for weight, or more generally, part of a system of parameters, or systems of measurement, or a set of ways of quantitatively and periodically measuring, assessing, controlling or selecting a person, process, event, or institution, along with the procedures to carry out measurements and the procedures for the interpretation of the assessment in the light of previous or comparable assessments  or it may be a methodology for expressing inherently qualitative evaluations in quantitative form, so that successive evaluations can be compared with each other in an objective manner and so that objective benchmarks can be defined. The latter type of metric is subject to challenge, as individuals can disagree over the validity of the method used to reduce qualitative data to one or more numbers. They may even disagree over whether a particular type of qualitative information can be expressed meaningfully or reliably in quantitative form at all..

I think the second paragraph needs a rewrite or omission. I'm not sure what it means, since what it seems to me to mean is at odds with the purpose of a metric: to allow one (assuming one isn't deluding oneself as to the validity of the metric) to compare what has thus far not been considered directly comparable. As far as going outside the domain is concerned, it isn't clear to me why one would be comparing, say, the performance of a stockbroker with the performance of a school teacher.

Comments? —Largo Plazo (talk) 13:34, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Can we delete this page already? "metrics" is a lazy synonym of "measurement" created to reinforce corporate groups norms. Not encyclopedic. 2A02:A03F:3DEC:4A00:418:4397:5E08:E642 (talk) 14:20, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

The new redirect on "performance indicator" is on point, well done ! 2A02:A03F:3DEC:4A00:35DB:9B24:40BF:E011 (talk) 14:20, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

In connection with this, I just came across Performance metric, which was an essay, a critique on performance metrics/indicators, and redirected it to Performance indicator as well. Largoplazo (talk) 14:38, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

What "procedure" are you talking about? If you mean creating the MediaWiki page, I have never done that and never will. RickK 13:59, 28 May 2004 (UTC)

Thank you for your efforts and reply. No problem with your formatting advise, etc., and copyright questions, I admit I had uploaded one item discovered by THUE as a breach, this was a legitimate error and was immediately rectified. (please delete it). I appreciate such astute observations and critisism, which have compelled me to read several Wikipedia help pages, still trying to get a feel for it. Must be a nightmare tring to police such a bold project. Keep in touch.

Cheers, again and all the best: Faedra 09:06, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Naval Air Station Whidbey Island
If you take a closer look at it, I did not revert your changes. I altered things again to a third format which is a compromise between the abbreviation NAS and the expanded Naval Air Station. It may sound picky but the correct way of naming a naval air station is to put the naval air station part before its name. It's the same with RAF bases which are always RAF Base never Base RAF. By way of contrast, if dealing with a USAF AFB the correct way is to put AFB after the name. David Newton 07:59, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Yup, still going! I've done world rankings for every year, almost all the tournaments, and almost all the players, so hopefully the bulk of the work will draw to a close soon. --Auximines 09:36, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Queen Mum
the .bmp is fair use as part of the article I'm writing - rather than just leave the "List of Coats of Arms" just a list of images. Mark is a fellow society member, I have asked him for a better, smaller version to use. --garryq 12:23, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * Sorry for the delay in replying to your question. One thing that I do as well as spot checking a user's edits is to click "what links here" on their user page. This will give you a list of pages where they have signed their name. As sysops have the tasks of deleting pages, and dealing with vandals, I often expect to see that they have contributed to VfD or vandalism in progress. If you follow those pages, you may well have seen their name in those places already, but if not, the fact those pages are on the "what links here" list can be a good sign that the user is interested in the areas that sysops have most of their abilities. I also check some of the talk pages linked to from the list to see if they have been involved in any conflicts, and if so, how they have dealt with that. The sorts of questions a user is asking or answering on the village pump, or on Wikipedia talk pages can also give you a good idea of how well they understand various aspects of Wikipedia. Again, this is easier to find from "what links here" rather than going through their contributions list. I tend to think that the way a user acts on talk pages may well be a better sign of how they will handle adminship abilities than simply basing it on what sorts of edits they make to articles. Hope that helps. Angela. 04:13, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Category naming conventions
Thanks for your suggestion re: category naming, but honestly, I guess I didn't know where to look to find evidence of these styles, because category-wise, the U.S. State categories (and I have categorized way more than just a bunch of NYC articles) were a blank slate&mdashthere was nothing there, no guiding structure. I'm indifferent as to naming convention preference (though I do appreciate consistency), but I think the organization I have been setting up within the state and city categories is a very good one. Is there a way to do top-down reorganizing of a category, to change the name and consequently change the category name tag within each article that linked to it? Maybe a bot is the only way...know anyone who can do that one here? Otherwise, I think it's wasted time to go through changing everything that's been done so far article by article if the category names are totally functional, and creating duplicative categories with the "proper" headers is obviously even worse. I also was wondering if the admins were eventually planning on making the category listings collapsible/expandible—having the capacity to see every article at once within the sub-categories of a given category would obviate disagreements about how specific categorizations should be (i.e., state by state v. undifferentiated national listings of airports). Do you have any info on this? The only FAQ I found on categories wasn't too helpful. Postdlf 2:06 9 June 2004 (UTC)

Category:Commercial item transport and distribution
Re your comment on my talk page regarding this category, I have replied on that page. --Gary D 09:44, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Your comment on "scattershot" got me to thinking about what was really going on with this category, and I ended up placing a discussion of "functional" versus "taxonomic" categories on categorization. Thanks for providing the input and "sparking me up" on this. --Gary D 23:09, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I have taken your advice on subcategorizing the CITD companies. I agree this may enhance a drilling-down user's exploration of the core concepts in the parent CITD category, by reducing the number of "oh, that's just another company" experiences when clicking through the CITD category's entries. As with Category:World War II, once you get enough entries, subcategorization is inevitable, anyway. As an aside, I wonder what that magic number is for moving into subcategories. Fifty to a hundred listings seems well handled by the category display page, but if you got to a thousand that page would probably reduce to a noisy mush. Thanks for your input! --Gary D 19:28, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Shannon Airport
I moved the "Shannon International Airport" article because the airport is not generally, or officially, called "Shannon International Airport." Everyone calls it "Shannon Airport," including Aer Rianta (which does use the "Shannon International" designation on their website, but only once, and alongside a bunch of mentions of "Shannon Airport"). No Irish person would ever look for SNN under the title of "Shannon International." Just because it is international doesn't mean that it's called international. -- Sekicho 00:32, Jun 11, 2004 (UTC)

dba
DBA means "under as" - It is hardly "ambiguous". It tells which major carrier "umbrella" the regional airline operates under. For instance, Skywest operates under the name Delta Connection for some of its flights (e.g. such Skywest flights are booked through Delta). WhisperToMe 17:13, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Or we could link it to doing business as. WhisperToMe 17:12, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Ben Gurion Airport in Israel
Hi Burgund: There is already a category Category:Israel which has a subset of Category:Israel geography and I thought that is where Ben Gurion Airport should go as well as under the Israel category as it's the main gateway to Israel. I don't see the point at this stage of having a separate category for Israeli Airports as it's a tiny country about the size of Rhode Island so why list all its airports now UNLESS you are going to make real project of it. Best wishes. IZAK 11:04, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * Hi again, I read your messages. Best wishes with your project/s, sounds very interesting. IZAK 02:23, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Hey... You messaged me about copyrights in regards to my New York Subway articles. I realise the either similarity or near identical-ness (sorry, it's late, my words are failing me) to articles on nycsubway.org and the articles here. I am friends with David Pirmann, the webmaster of the site and helped to contribute to the writing of most of the original articles. I will also cite www.nycsubway.org once I get everything done. If you think this is still a problem, I would be happy to take everything down.

Well, my English is better than David's, and most of the content about individual subway stations remainds from 1998, and a loit has changed in the interim so I'm trying to update the text to read better for an interface without photographs. I like your suggestion about Melbourne, my only problem with it is the sheer number of stations is different from Melbourne to NYC. NYC has 486 stations, where as I am sure Melbourne has far fewer. If you have any suggestions for how to incorporate the two, I would love to hear/see them. I plan to make a Wiki for every station in NYC.

I don't mind doing all 486 stations on my own, it's not a big deal. Good luck on your own project! If you have any questions about Copenhagen Kastrup Airport or JFK or LaGuardia, I'd be happy to help out.

Invitation
Hey Burgundavia! Thanks for the invitation1 I will be more than honored to help you with the airport project, just let me know what I should do there, as I would be flying into unchartered waters.

Once again, thanks, and God bless you!

Mad Crowd Disease
The Google URL was because 1-all of the articles listed were copies of what was posted, and 2-I was having problems bringing up any of the pages at the time I posted them, but you can see the copivios in the Google listings. RickK 04:36, Jun 18, 2004 (UTC)

So what if they're 404's? You can still see the part of the original article which matches what the poster put into the article. RickK 04:50, Jun 18, 2004 (UTC)

Category:Banks
Your work on changing the naming convention on the subcategories of Category:Banks from XX banks to Banks of XX might be commendable, but do you intend to follow through on the work you began? The convention that you implemented has its pros and cons, but it is at least closer to the established convention used for the naming of Wikipedia articles. What is harder to understand is why you intentionally destroyed one of the established category sub hierarchies in that process. Replacing XX companies with Companies of XX might have been systematic, but if you don't create and convert those categories, your work has been more destructive than productive. Are you, right now, in the process or recategorizing the various companies categories and articles or do we need to start reverting parts of the effort? Cheers, -- Mic 18:32, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * Yes, I am going to move all the those today. I meant to do it yesterday but I was really tired and it was quite late. There are a lot of categories that follow the XX banks style, which I was given to understand wasn't really a naming convention. I put that down to a lot of people just creating catgories without thinking. Sorry about the confusion, as I am sure I flooded you watchlist. Cheers. Burgundavia 23:16, Jun 18, 2004 (UTC)

 * I do believe that using the same or a smiliar naming convention as for the Wikipedia articles has a slight advantage. If the change is going to be made it is better to do it relatively early, rather than to wait until all categories for all countries has to be changed. I would hate to see an effort of this magnitude disbanded half way, but if there is a comprehensive effort to implement a complete change over I would only be happy to help. Cheers, -- Mic 08:10, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * My primary push these days is WikiProject Airports, but I will help you if you want to help move them all. It is a big uphill fight. Most of the categories have already been created in the XX something style. Burgundavia 08:48, Jun 19, 2004 (UTC)

 * That's the reason why I am hesitant to take it on myself. Currently there are two competing conventions and it will need to be resolved at some point. Either system works and I see a greater value in having a single system, than over which system is used, even if one of them may be preferred. -- Mic 10:47, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Well the problem with the existing system is we cannot use American for US. And US banks sounds horrible. Nor can we really use British. So the other system can be more consistent. Burgundavia 11:06, Jun 19, 2004 (UTC)

Re: Third Taiwan Strait crisis
Thanks for the compliment! There's a lot of room for improvement... --Jiang 06:03, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Yes, I propose that if we've applied WikiProject Countries to an article, then it should be given individual categories tags. These categories will then be subcategories of the parent country. There's a general discussion at Wikipedia talk:Categorization and this should probably go there.

For ROC, as I've said before, the best way to go about this is using politically neutral terms for non-political topics (Taiwan + mainland China vs. ROC + PRC ). People from either side of the conflict share the same definition of what mainland China means. For the other cases, I'm not sure. Northern Cyprus can definately be considered part of Cyprus as it considers itself the legitimate Cyrpriot government. The question to ask is whether we've treated it as a country. If we start an article with "Puntland is a region in northeastern Somalia" then we imply that it's part of Somalia. Maybe create a separate category and make it a subcategory of Somalia... --Jiang 07:44, 19 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Re: Hey Welcome to Wikipedia
Hi, thanks for your message. Yes, I'm completely new to Wikipedia, so pardon me if I have made a few mistakes. I will do my best to correct them and am figuring out the formating thing. Sorry about the "auto-biography," yes, I did confuse it with the "user talk." I hope I'm actually posting this right, by clicking the "+." Anyway, thanks for the welcome.

New Airport
Hey again,

I wrote up an entry on the Greater Binghamton Airport in New York. I added the category link at the bottom just like that of Syracuse Hancock International Airport, but I was wondering about the category page. It lists the 'G' letter twice in two different columns... Kind of confusing!

Category:Airports of New York

Thanks for your help.

newkai 00:38, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Oh wow you're fast at responding... I saw that Greater Binghamton Airport airport had been added, went back to edit my post in your talk and... Well anyway, everything's fine now... I just overlooked the fact that 'G' appears in two columns.

Airport guidelines
"Add link from the main city that it serves, so as not to create an orphan "

In other words, following that DFW Airport has to be linked from Dallas and Fort Worth, the cities it serves, but does not have to be linked from Irving, Euless, and Grapevine.

I want to modify this so the city the airport is actually located in gets linked to, e.g. Irving, Euless, and Grapevine are required to link to the airport as well. WhisperToMe 03:53, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)
