Talk:Summer Hill, New South Wales

FA Candidature Attempts
Currently unresolved feedback from first failed featured article candidate attempt:

 * 1) I still think the history section needs work - there must be more to the history of the suburb than the story of a mansion!
 * 2) * Status: Assigned to Nickj.
 * 3) The politics section could do with a copyedit
 * 4) * Status: Ambi plans to copyedit at a later date.
 * 5) ** Message left for Ambi on talk page.

Currently unresolved feedback from second failed FAC attempt:
 * 1) The transportation and politics sections have no good reason not to be rewritten as prose, rather than as a list.
 * 2) * Transportation is now back as prose thanks to Ta bu shi da yu, and the politics section is currently prose (I think!).
 * 3) St Patrick's church note is still one sentence, and the Buddhist temple is two - best to include a bit more on each.
 * 4) * Buddist temple now has more info; St Pats could probably be expanded though.

Map and pie chart
Can you please advise me how you come up with the pie charts & sat photos available for publishing under GFDL? I am trying similar pages for futher west.... TIA Garrie 05:19, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * For the pie chart, I got the ABS data about place of birth, put it into an Excel 2000 spreadsheet, created a pie chart of the data, then did a "save as" for the spreadsheet in HTML format. This created a PNG or GIF of the pie chart. I then took just that pie chart and uploaded it as GFDL (since I was the author). For the satellite photo, that was done by getting a satellite photo of Sydney from NASA, and most or all NASA photography under US law has to be released into the public domain (the Americans were very smart in mandating this license for most or all government imagery that is made public). I then took that public domain image, and by hand/mouse traced on the borders of Summer Hill (which I knew from other sources such as street directories and Australian government sources). The resulting image was then uploaded as GFDL. Hope that helps! -- All the best, Nickj (t) 23:58, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Good Article Nomination
I've added this page for a possible good article nomination as it failed FA status but may still qualify for a Good Article status. Any comments should go below. (JROBBO 13:41, 10 July 2006 (UTC))

 * Dropped by as a GA reviewer. It looks good except for the lack of inline citations. Please add some so that the reader knows where things came from and where they can go for more informatiom --CTS Wyneken (talk) 01:01, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I've looked in again, and would like to a little attention to language. For example, the article says: "in the inner-west of Sydney." I found myself asking: inner-west what? Quarter, neighborhood, etc. a little less use of the passive voice would also make it easier to read. Article on hold. --CTS Wyneken (talk) 14:26, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The "Inner-West" is the name of an area in Sydney (usually between Strathfield and the city on the south side of the harbour). (JROBBO 04:03, 1 August 2006 (UTC))
 * Thanks for clarifying. Could you say something like this in the lead? It would be a mercy to a hopeless American like me. 8-) --CTS Wyneken (talk) 00:27, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Ok, I've changed as much as I can that's passive and could be fixed. A lot of it can't be. I've done some rewriting where needed as well. (JROBBO 03:58, 3 August 2006 (UTC))
 * Fair dinkum! It is very well done. I've promoted the article. Congratulations and G'Day! --CTS Wyneken (talk) 20:47, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Trinity Grammar & Heritage Buildings
I was drawn to this statement in the article: "Throughout 2006 and 2007, local residents have opposed the ongoing expansion of the school's buildings and attempted demolition of heritage buildings owned by it." Although Nickj cleaned up the work the editor in question did, I fail to see how this is true at all. Trinity doesn't own any heritage buildings apart from the chapel and the Headmaster's House- no other building in the school is listed on Ashfield Council's heritage listing at all (see here), nor are they on the State Heritage Listing for the suburb (here), nor is there any other listing for any houses on the block bounded by Prospect Road, Victoria Street and Seaview Street; a look through the School's newsletters for the past year (here) reveals no plans whatsoever about the demolition of the Headmaster's House or Chapel. This is quite obviously rubbish and will be left out until such time as someone can provide a source. JROBBO 09:36, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I've checked the council minutes for the last year - there is nothing there on any dispute with the school. Provide a source or the unreferenced POV statements stay out. JROBBO 04:01, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

TRINITY DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION

The above editor, the esteemed railway timetables expert and pipe-cleaner, has a clear personal interest in protecting Trinity Grammar and in defending it at the expense of verifiable truth. This can be checked by reference to his continual attampts to delete mention of the Development Apllication still before Ashfield Council which has been noted in the article and deleted by him many times.

There is no doubt that the building owned by Trinity that line Seaview Ave and Prospect Road are heritage protected. Further, the current DA calls for the demolition of 11 houses on these streets in order to build a multi-purpose hall, expand the gymnasium, build a multi-level building, townhouses etc. these plans are available from Council - they are not available on the web (though that doesnt mean they dont exist, egg head!).

Redidents HAVE opposed this development - check with council re letters, petitions etc.

The editor (a possible Trinity staffer or ex-pupil or parent)needs censure for an ongoing personal campaign that involves removing all reference BOTH to the development and to his conflict of interest. he should return forthwith to train timetables and the history of the miner's lamp. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.45.124.45 (talk • contribs)

 * Again, I would refer you to WP:CIVIL when making comments like this. You have also been warned about providing verifiable sources, and I have already shown Wikipedia policy that shows it is your onus to provide the verifiable sources. The DA Number is not enough and proves nothing - there would be nothing in that document to show that the buildings are "heritage" or that people are upset by the proposed works. I've already shown the heritage registers and there's nothing in there to back up your claims. If you want to put that information, that's fine, but I and anyone else who wants to read this needs to know that it is true, and it is done by the inclusion of a verifiable source. If there's no source, it can't be checked and it should be deleted. My interest is not with the school, it's with the article and keeping it as a Good Article. I'm keen to keep it that way. Calling other users vandals is not going to help. JROBBO 03:28, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I would refer JROBBO to the Civility Code of Wikipedia in reference to his ongoing description of edits he disagrees with as "rubbish" and those who put them in as "vandals". Do you think these remarks qualify under Wiki Civility protocols? These denigrations of other's work and integrity just leads to further disagreements and lowers the level of debate to a childish one. Perhaps you could apologize to Zimbo729 nad the two of you can make up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.45.124.45 (talk • contribs)

 * I never accused Zimbo729 of vandalism - I suggested that he should provide verifiable sources to the article regarding the POV statements contained therein. When he persisted in taking out the information, then it became vandalism. By the way, aren't you and Zimbo one and the same person? You appear to write in exactly the same way, and with the same sorts of insults. JROBBO 12:09, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

How rude. No I am not the same person as Zimbo whateverhis/her name is. How insulting to even draw the inference. I may have to report you to the Wiki manners committee or whatever its called (Im sure you've got the web-reference handy for me if I need it). To return to abuse, so to speak - so you are not denying repeatedly calling another editor's contributioins "rubbish" then - just because you cant find a web-based verification for it. I am intrigued what verification exists for some of the other (alleged) facts in this article - eg "the area has quite a friendly and community-focussed atmosphere" - is this attributable to some community sampling survey perhaps (pls provide the link) - or else some observer just dreampt it up and put it in, somehow evading the JRobbo Sword of Editing Damocles! Are we to suppose those refernces AREN'T ahem "rubbish" as you didnt snip them out and remark nastily you were excising "Rubbish"?? A casual observer may think the rules seem to change when Trinity is involved... You buddy Nickj also reverts to the "R" word whenever he doesn't like someone elses work. Its most "Uncivil" under the definition you point to. Please, err explain why you and nickyj are allowed such lenience when others get blasted with threats of removal etc... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.45.124.45 (talk • contribs)

 * Folks, can we please keep the detailed Trinity stuff out of the Summer Hill article? Trinity is just mentioned in passing because it is located in Summer Hill, but there is a separate article all about Trinity itself, which is I think the best place for things that are mostly relevant to Trinity. Also it would help enormously to include references to anything that is added to the Trinity article (since sometimes that article is a bit of a battleground between pro-and-anti-Trinity positions, and verifiable references go a long way towards documenting any statements, thus making them much harder to dismiss). -- All the best, Nickj (t) 03:52, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

GA delisted
In order to uphold the quality of Good articles, all articles listed as Good articles are being reviewed against the GA criteria as part of the GA project quality task force. While all the hard work that has gone into this article is appreciated, unfortunately, as of November 2, 2007, this article fails to satisfy the criteria, as detailed below. For that reason, the article has been delisted from WP:GA. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at WP:GAN. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at WP:GAR.

 * The lead does not adequately summarize the article.
 * Every statement that is likely to be challenged needs an inline citation.

Regards, Epbr123 18:44, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

As a contributor to this article, I don't think I'm impartial enough to formally review but I do think the renomination is premature. Here are a few examples of problems that will probably be identified as needing to be fixed:

 * The intro says SH is 7km from the city, the infobox says 8
 * the first par says "The suburb was originally settled in 1794" while the second says "Before settlement, Summer Hill was the home of the Wangal and Cadigal Aboriginal peoples". I'd be uncomfortable with language that implies the aborigines weren't settled there.
 * Similarly, 1794 seems an odd date to choose for the founding of the suburb if the name Summer Hill wasn't used till much later and there was no substantial settlement there either. With Ashfield, I chose the date of Elizabeth Underwood's subdivision to found the village of Ashfield as a more obvious date linking to the current suburb.
 * In the Characteristics section, it says it has been christened 'the village' without any reference to that effect. As a local, I know this to be true but those sorts of statements will be picked on by reviewers.
 * Finally, the schools section makes no reference to Summer Hill Public, which has a long history and, as a partially selective primary school, is very popular. An independent reviewer probably wouldn't note that as an omission but I think it significant.

And there's probably more. I didn't go through it with a fine toothcomb. Crico 22:08, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

GA Notes
Just some notes from a partial review of the article. Will look at some more of this tonight --Peripitus (Talk) 04:01, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Info box states it's 8km from the CBD but the lead states 7km
 * 30 acres (120,000 m²) needs a non-breaking space and would be better as 30 acre
 * mid-20th Century - century should be lower case
 * "area was said" in the lead. Was is redundant as it's implied by the start of the sentence
 * I wonder if you should wikilink "upper-class" in the lead and look at this sentence for comma/semicolon usage. Perhaps also wikilink "working-class"
 * "It is also very multicultural, with 45% of the 2006 population today born overseas". I see that the reference for this does not back up the "very" part of the line and notes "34.7% were born overseas" rather than 45%...perhaps I'm not reading this reference correctly
 * Charateristics "neatly defined" ... how is it neat ? I'd suggest just "defined"
 * "To the north of Summer Hill" -> "North of Summer Hill".. the "To the" seems redundant. Is this entire sentence required as it's covered in the infobox ?
 * Paragraphs 2 and 4 of the characteristics section are unreferenced and the section contains some weasel words.
 * "the area of land we now know as Summer Hill" would be better as "the area of Summer Hill"
 * " What is now called the Hawthorne Canal ( and was originally the Long Cove Creek)"
 * "The use of this name suggests that kangaroos were then common in this area, and therefore that the country was probably fairly open (the type of terrain favoured by Kangaroos); and secondly, that kangaroos may have formed a significant part of the aboriginal diet." -> "This name suggests that the land was the open terrain favoured by Kangaroos, that they were common in the area and may have formed a significant part of the aboriginal diet." seems to read better + is a statement that needs a reference
 * St Andrews church ... should this either be St Andrews Church or St Andrew's church ? (don't quote me on this as this is not my forte)
 * Statement that the "suburb is popular" needs a citation
 * St Patrick's church is a Catholic church located in the oldest known still standing building in the area, built in 1874... isn't the church the building itself or is the building used as a church and other things. Perhaps should be "St Patrick's church is a Catholic church built in 1874 and is the oldest known building in the area"
 * "Much of the exterior fabric of the church is however original, and the church has recently been renovated internally" - however is redundant and recently should be changed to a year else this'll age fast.
 * "transept arches" should be wikilinked for those of us who have no idea what type of arch this is
 * "Local political issues" in the politics section really needs a reference

 * Thanks for the comments. I've fixed all of the above, and added extra references, except for adding a reference to paragraph 4 in the characteristics section. I didn't write that part of the article and I don't have the original references on me so I do not know where I could find a reference to show that. Any ideas? JRG 06:27, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

GA on hold
After looking through the article in depth there are a number of issues to be fixed.
 * well written..needs a copyedit in some sections
 * Look at the short stubby paragraphs in "Transport" . should be combined into less and longer ones.
 * Look at the external links section with a view to the guidlines in External links. "Places to eat in Summer Hill" as a link to a commercial site doesn't really add to the article and many of the links are of questionable use.
 * Look at the bit in the infobox "1.1 km² (0 sq mi)" I've tried to fix the suburb template but, if this doesn't work a better way is needed as 0 sq mi makes no sense.
 * "Events and attractions" section needs work. The last sentence is a given for any council and is not informative. The entire paragraph needs looking at for grammer and structure. "where you can meet a writer and ask them questions on their experiences" seems a long winded way of saying "where the public can meet and talk to writers"
 * "Local political issues include:" this section should be converted to a paragraph of prose.
 * some grammer and sentence issues to be addressed (this is not exhaustive)
 * "Aboriginal peoples" not sure why it is not "Aboriginal people". In the same sentence "was the home of the" -> "was home to the"
 * If supported by the reference "It seems likely that the well-documented" -> "It is likely" would read better
 * Governor Phillip not only recorded that half of the local Aboriginal population was estimated to have died from the disease, and but he also noted that the Aboriginal people always "retired from where the diseases appeared" as well.
 * "A little later in the century" does not read well. "A little" is imprecise and not needed. A date would be better
 * and the subdivisions of much of the surrounding area followed. subdivision should be singular and this reads better like "followed by subdivision of much of the surrounding area"
 * popular choice for city-types..."city-types" ? not exactly an encyclopediac noun.
 * village-style setup containing cafés... not sure of what this should be but to most people in the world village-style would not mean what I know it does. Better to find another way to say this or drop the village-style bit.
 * "for an undisclosed sum" - as it is undisclosed these 4 words can go. It is then implicit that the sum is undisclosed.
 * "The site of the school has been in continuous use for educational purposes for 120 years" might be better as "The schools' site has been in continuous use for education for 120 years"
 * "Trinity Grammar is one of many wealthy schools in New South Wales, and has previously received some of the largest federal funding grants (as government grants to private schools are partially based on postcodes, and the school is located in a not especially wealthy postcode)." ... the entire bit in brackets is a bit POV and also largest grants in comparison to ????
 * "By road Summer Hill is located close to Liverpool Road and Parramatta Road, and so is well served by roads, although in peak hour these roads are quite congested."... By road is not required as roads are identified a few words later. Perhaps this would be better culled down to "Summer Hill is close to the main thoroughfares of Liverpool and Parramatta Roads; although they are quite congested at peak times"
 * "Inner west line" should be in caps as it is a proper name
 * "is currently used only for freight purposes" Need to change currently into a year to avoid readers being unsure as to when this refers. Look for all uses of "currently" as this problem is in a few places.
 * "and has grown" -> growing
 * accuracy
 * Paragraph 3 of "Characteristics" needs a reference.
 * Paragraph 1 of "Commercial area" also needs one. I don't think I belive the statement "The suburb is very small and quite old by Australian standards". 1879 is not old (particularly in NSW)
 * "the suburb today has again become gentrified, with a "village atmosphere"" in the lead does not seem supported later in the text ... particularly the words used. This reads as a value judgement rather than encyclopediac tone. This seems to relate to paragraph 3 as noted above
 * "Local independent business people run most of the shops." - this is not supported by the following reference.
 * "one of the leading multicultural festivals" - as it's run by the council and the reference is to the council this should be removed...unless an independant reference to this assertion can be found

 * thorough
 * Appears sufficiently broad to meet the GA standards

 * NPOV
 * Weasel words and uneeded qualifiers in the article like "unique blend", "strongly evident" should be converted into more neutral terms
 * stability
 * No issues

 * images
 * No issues here although personally I don't like galleries.

— Peripitus (Talk) 13:19, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Thank you Crico and Peripitus for all the great comments and detailed feedback! JRG has addressed a whole lot of these issues, but for the ones that remained:
 * Added a single sentence about Summer Hill Public School, and emailed the school asking them to flesh the paragraph out a little with a few more sentences.
 * Re: "Places to eat in Summer Hill" as a link to a commercial site - one is chefmoz, which is part of the DMOZ, which is (I think) non-commercial. Also the list of phone numbers is kind of useful if you live there like I do and want to order something ;-) But the other one was commercial, and was very slow, so it's been given the flick.
 * Tried to de-weasel-word-ify and NPOV-ify.
 * Other tweaks made to address concerns - as per the edit summaries.
 * I think that address most or all of the items raised - but there were a lot of points that were raised, so it's entirely possible we've unintentionally missed one or two, but I think we've now got most or all points.
 * -- All the best, Nickj (t) 06:34, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I still think the intro is a little clunky and inaccurate on one point: the station was built in 1879, the railway line had already been there for over 20 years. I would go for something like:

''Summer Hill is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Summer Hill is located 8 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the Municipality of Ashfield.

''Summer Hill is primarily a residential suburb of the Inner West region, adjoining two of Sydney's major arterial roads, Parramatta Road and Liverpool Road. Nestled between the larger commercial centres of Leichhardt and Ashfield, Summer Hill has a lively "village" character. The suburb was established in 1879 when the building of a railway station led to a housing boom in the area. At different times in its history Summer Hill has been both upper class and working class and this has led to a mix of architectural styles with some large mansions, medium-density apartment blocks and federation houses. Today, it is also multicultural, with 35% of the population born overseas.''

Obviously, this raises the question of when SH was established so I'll leave it to someone else to decide on the wording. I have also added a paragraph on Summer Hill Public. Crico 00:04, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

A couple more
A few more things: -- getting there - Peripitus (Talk) 08:56, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * "Summer Hill Public School is located on Moonbie Street, and is a partially selective primary school." needs a citation and explanation of what "partially selective" is. I'm not sure that the schools enrolment policy(pdf) supports this
 * I've deleted this until we can find a reference. The article is not completely comprehensive without this, but it's not necessary for a GA nomination. If it was to go to FA in the future, this will need to be added. JRG 02:16, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * If you go to the bottom of page 2 of the enrolment form, it refers to OC enrolment. This stands for Opportunity Class. Their OC Handbook gives more detail about the program. Crico 03:31, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * "It features some fine examples of architecture from the 19th and early 20th century." would be better with a citation. Looking through real estate ads and seeing that there is a publication about it makes it clear it's true but it would be better cited. perhaps this one.
 * ✅. JRG 02:16, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * paragraph 3 of "Characteristics" still needs a citation.
 * I'm pretty sure that's from the book, so ✅. JRG 02:16, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * the last issue I can see is the founding date in the infobox - it's listed as 1794 but this just relates to the first land purchase. The correct date is somewhat later (I think it may be even later than 1849 based on some websearching). This needs to be corrected and cited.
 * When is a suburb established? When it is given a name? When it was officially established by the GNB (in 1998!?) When the first land grant was given? This is hard to tell... 1794 as the first settlement and land grant seems the best option at the moment. JRG 02:16, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Usually when the suburb's town plan is approved. . If not for this then St Kilda would be 1865 rather than 1893, Para Hills 1847 rather than 1959, Ingle Farm 1836 rather than 1959. The consensus I can see is that the foundation date is either the date a suburb plan was first submitted or some other action associated with building a town/suburb. If we used first settlement then Yarralumla, Australian Capital Territory would look to be founded in 1828 and Sale, Greater Manchester somewhere in prehistoric times - Peripitus (Talk) 05:16, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I've removed the established line because I can't find a determinable reference for an accurate establishment date of the suburb. I've fixed the thing about the railway station too - the station, not the line opened in 1879. Hopefully this irons out all issues. JRG 00:36, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok - I've fixed a few minor issues and passed as a Good Article. Appears to now meet all of the criteria and the issues raised in the GA listing have been resolved. Good work all - Peripitus (Talk) 04:05, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

title: Talk:Summer Hill, New South Wales


text:
Ebisu, Shibuya

Ebisu (恵比寿) is the southernmost part of Shibuya ward in Tokyo, Japan, and a major district of the ward. It was developed on the site of a former brewery and is home to Yebisu Garden Place. It has a high concentration of bars and restaurants.

Geography and transportation
Ebisu is a major district and neighborhood of the special ward of Shibuya. It is the southernmost part of Shibuya, north of Meguro ward.

Ebisu is accessed by the JR Yamanote Line and Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line via Ebisu Station.

History
Ebisu was founded around 1928 as a community developed around the Japan Beer Brewery Company (now Sapporo Breweries Limited) facilities which began brewing Yebisu Beer in 1890.

After the breweries were moved to Chiba in 1988, the area underwent a major urban development resulting in the construction of Yebisu Garden Place, which opened to the public in 1994. Following the construction of Yebisu Garden Place in 1994, the area around Ebisu Station developed rapidly.

The district and railway station of Ebisu takes its name from the Yebisu Beer brand, which in turn was named after Ebisu (one of the Japanese Seven Gods of Fortune). The spelling "Yebisu" is intentionally archaic. With or without the "y" the pronunciation is the same as "Ebisu".

Food and drink
Ebisu has a high concentration of restaurants, cafés, izakaya, ramen shops, bars and old-fashioned tachinomi ("stand and drink") bars.

Yebisu Garden Place
Yebisu Garden Place is a shopping and cultural center located in Ebisu. It has a sloped promenade leading to a large central plaza covered by a wide glass arch. The area regularly hosts events and markets on weekends.

It is accessible via the Ebisu Skywalk (a fast-moving covered walkway) from JR Ebisu Station East Exit, which takes approximately 5 minutes on foot.

The complex contains the following attractions:
 * Sapporo Breweries headquarters
 * Museum of Yebisu Beer

Evolution of Hawaiian volcanoes

The evolution of Hawaiian volcanoes occurs in several stages of growth and decline. The fifteen volcanoes that make up the eight principal islands of Hawaii are the youngest in a chain of more than 129 volcanoes that stretch 5800 km across the North Pacific Ocean, called the Hawaiian–Emperor seamount chain. Hawaii's volcanoes rise an average of 4600 m to reach sea level from their base. The largest, Mauna Loa, is 4169 m high. As shield volcanoes, they are built by accumulated lava flows, growing a few meters or feet at a time to form a broad and gently sloping shape.

Hawaiian islands undergo a systematic pattern of submarine and subaerial growth that is followed by erosion. An island's stage of development reflects its distance from the Hawaii hotspot.

Background
The Hawaiian–Emperor seamount chain is remarkable for its length and its number of volcanoes. The chain is split into two subsections across a break, separating the older Emperor Seamount Chain from the younger Hawaiian Ridge; the V-shaped bend of the chain is easily noticeable on maps. The volcanoes are progressively younger to the southeast; the oldest dated volcano, located at the northern end, is 81 million years old. The break between the two subchains is 43 million years; in comparison, the oldest of the principal islands, Kauaʻi, is little more than 5 million years.

The "assembly line" that forms the volcanoes is driven by a hotspot, a plume of magma deep within the Earth producing lava at the surface. As the Pacific Plate moves in a west-northwest direction, each volcano moves with it away from its place of origin above the hotspot. The age and location of the volcanoes are a record of the direction, rate of movement, and orientation of the Pacific Plate. The pronounced 43-million-year-old break separating the Hawaiian Ridge from the Emperor Chain marks a dramatic change in direction of plate movement.

Initial, deeper-water volcanic eruptions are characterized by pillow lava, so named for their shape, while shallow-water eruptions tend to be composed mainly of volcanic ash. Once the volcano is high enough so as to eliminate interference from water, its lava flows become those of ropey pāhoehoe and blocky ʻAʻā lava.

Our current understanding of the process of evolution originates from the first half of the 20th century. The understanding of the process was advanced by frequent observation of volcanic eruptions, study of contrasting rock types, and reconnaissance mapping. More recently our understanding has been aided by geophysical studies, offshore submersible studies, the advent of radioactive dating, advances in petrology and geochemistry, advanced surveillance and monitoring, and detailed geological studies. The ratio of magnesium to silica in the lava is a sign of what stage the volcano is in, as over time the volcano's lavas shift from alkalic to tholeiitic lava, and then back to alkalic.

Although volcanism and erosion are the chief factors in the growth and denudation of a volcano, other factors are also involved. Subsidence is known to occur. Changes in sea level, occurring mostly during the Pleistocene, have caused drastic changes; an example is the breakup of Maui Nui, initially a seven-volcano island, which was transformed into five islands as a result of subsidence. High rainfall due to the trade wind effect impacts on the severity of erosion on many of the major volcanoes. Coastline collapses, a notable part of the history of many of the Hawaiian volcanoes, are often devastating and destroy large parts of the volcanoes.

Submarine preshield stage
When a volcano is created near the Hawaiian hotspot, it begins its growth in the submarine preshield stage, characterized by infrequent, typically low volume eruptions. The volcano is steep-sided, and it usually has a defined caldera and has two or more rift zones radiating from the summit. The type of lava erupted in this stage of activity is alkali basalt. Due to stretching forces, the development of two or more rift zones is common. The lava accumulates in a shallow magma storage reservoir.

Because the eruptions occur with the volcano underwater, the form of lava typically erupted is pillow lava. Pillow lava is rounded balls of lava that was given very little time to cool due to immediate exposure to water. Water pressure prevents the lava from exploding upon contact with the cold ocean water, forcing it to simmer and solidify quickly. This stage is thought to last about 200,000 years, but lavas erupted during this stage make up only a tiny fraction of the final volume of the volcano. As time progresses, eruptions become stronger and more frequent.

The only example of a Hawaiian volcano in this stage is Kamaʻehuakanaloa Seamount (formerly Lōʻihi), which is thought to be transitioning from the submarine preshield stage into the submarine phase of the shield stage. All older volcanoes have had their preshield stage lavas buried by younger lavas, so everything that is known about this stage comes from research done on Kamaʻehuakanaloa Seamount.

Shield stages
The shield stage of the volcano is subdivided into three phases: the submarine, explosive, and subaerial. During this stage of growth, the volcano accumulates about 95 percent of its mass and it takes on the "shield" shape that shield volcanoes are named for. It is also the stage at which the volcano's eruptive frequency reaches its peak.

Submarine phase
As eruptions become more and more frequent at the end of the preshield stage, the composition of the lava erupted from the Hawaiian volcano changes from alkalic basalt to tholeiitic basalt and the volcano enters the submarine phase of the shield stage. In this phase, the volcano continues to erupt pillow lava. Calderas form, fill, and reform at the volcano's summit and the rift zones remain prominent. The volcano builds its way up to sea level. The submarine phase ends when the volcano is only shallowly submerged.

The only example of a volcano in this stage is Kamaʻehuakanaloa Seamount, which is now transitioning into this phase from the preshield stage.

Explosive phase
This volcanic phase, so named for the explosive reactions with lava that take place, begins when the volcano just breaches the surface. The pressure and instantaneous cooling of being underwater stops, replaced instead by contact with air. Lava and seawater make intermittent contact, resulting in a lot of steam. The change in environment also engenders a change in lava type, and the lava from this stage is mostly fragmented into volcanic ash. These explosive eruptions continue intermittently for several hundred thousand years. Calderas continually develop and fill, and rift zones remain prominent. The phase ends when the volcano has sufficient mass and height (about 1000 m above sea level) that the interaction between sea water and erupting lava fades away.

Subaerial phase
Once a volcano has added enough mass and height to end frequent contact with water, the subaerial substage begins. During this stage of activity, the explosive eruptions become much less frequent and the nature of the eruptions become much more gentle. Lava flows are a combination of pāhoehoe and ʻaʻā. It is during this stage, that the low-profile "shield" shape of Hawaiian volcanoes is formed, named for the shape of a warrior's shield. Eruption rates and frequencies peak, and about 95% of the volcano's eventual volume forms during a period of roughly 500,000 years.

The lava erupted in this stage form flows of pāhoehoe or ʻaʻā. During this subaerial stage, the flanks of the growing volcanoes are unstable and as a result, large landslides may occur. At least 17 major landslides have occurred around the major Hawaiian islands. This stage is arguably the most well-studied, as all eruptions that occurred in the 20th century on the island of Hawaii were produced by volcanoes in this phase.

Mauna Loa and Kīlauea volcanoes are in this phase of activity.

Postshield stage

As the volcano reaches the end of the shield stage, the volcano goes through another series of changes as it enters the postshield stage. The type of lava erupted changes from tholeiitic basalt back to alkalic basalt and eruptions become slightly more explosive.

Eruptions in the postshield stage cap the volcano with a carapace of lava, containing low silica and high alkali contents, the reverse of the stage before it. Some Hawaiian volcanoes diverge from this, however. Lava is erupted as stocky, pasty aā flows along with a lot of cinder. Caldera development stops, and the rift zones become less active. The new lava flows increase the slope grade, as the aā never reaches the base of the volcano. These lavas commonly fill and overflow the caldera. Eruption rate gradually decreases over a period of about 250,000 years, eventually stopping altogether as the volcano becomes dormant.

Mauna Kea, Hualālai, and Haleakalā volcanoes are in this stage of activity.

Erosional stage
After the volcano becomes dormant, the forces of erosion gain control of the mountain. The volcano subsides into the oceanic crust due to its immense weight and loses elevation. Meanwhile, rain also erodes the volcano, creating deeply incised valleys. Coral reefs grow along the shoreline. The volcano becomes a skeleton of its former self.

Kohala, Māhukona, Lānaʻi, and Waiʻanae volcanoes are examples of volcanoes in this stage of development.

Rejuvenated stage
After a long period of dormancy and erosion of the surface, the volcano may become active again, entering a final stage of activity called the rejuvenated stage. During this stage, the volcano erupts small volumes of lava very infrequently. These eruptions are often spread out over several millions of years. The composition of the lavas erupted in this stage is usually alkalic. The stage commonly occurs between 0.6 and 2 million years after it has entered the weathering cycle.

Koʻolau Range, West Maui, and Kahoʻolawe volcanoes are examples of volcanoes in this stage of development. Note, however, that because in this stage eruptions are very infrequent (occurring thousands or even tens of thousands of years apart), erosion is still the primary factor controlling the volcano's development. After this stage the volcano becomes extinct and never erupts again.

Coral atoll stage
Eventually, erosion and subsidence break the volcano down to sea level. At this point, the volcano becomes an atoll, with a ring of coral and sand islands surrounding a lagoon. All the Hawaiian islands west of the Gardner Pinnacles in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands are in this stage.

Atolls are the product of the growth of tropical marine organisms, so this island type is only found in warm tropical waters. Eventually, the Pacific Plate carries the volcanic atoll into waters too cold for these marine organisms to maintain a coral reef by growth. Volcanic islands located beyond the warm water temperature requirements of reef-building organisms become seamounts as they subside and are eroded away at the surface. An island that is located where the ocean water temperatures are just sufficiently warm for upward reef growth to keep pace with the rate of subsidence is said to be at the Darwin point. Islands in more northerly latitudes evolve towards seamounts or guyots; islands closer to the equator evolve towards atolls (see Kure Atoll).

Guyot stage and destruction phase
After the reef dies, the volcano subsides or erodes below sea level and becomes a coral-capped seamount. These flat-topped seamounts are called guyots. Most, if not all, the volcanoes west of Kure Atoll as well as most, if not all, the volcanoes in the Emperor Seamount chain are guyots or seamounts. Eventually the guyot will be taken to a subduction plate were it will be destroyed like meiji seamount in a few million years

Other patterns
Not all Hawaiian volcanoes go through all of these stages of activity. An example is Koʻolau Range on Oʻahu, which was prehistorically devastated by a cataclysmic landslide, never underwent the postshield stage and went dormant for hundreds of thousands of years after the shield stage before coming back to life. Some volcanoes never made it above sea level; there is no evidence to suggest that West Molokai went through the rejuvenated stage, while its younger neighbors, East Molokai and West Maui, have evidently done so. It is currently unknown what stage of development the submerged volcano of Penguin Bank is in.

Application to other groups
In recent years research at other seamounts, for instance Jasper Seamount (off the west coast of Mexico), has confirmed that the Hawaiian model applies to other seamounts as well.

Scary Go Round

Scary Go Round is a webcomic by John Allison. Running from 2002 to 2009, it is set in the fictional North Yorkshire town of Tackleford and follows university students battling fantasy and science fiction threats to the town. The comic was a successor to Allison's first comic, Bobbins, and was followed by Bad Machinery, all of which take place in the same general setting.

The comic received praise from multiple British newspapers, and it won the Web Cartoonists' Choice Award for best comic in 2005.

History
Scary Go Round began in 2002. It followed on from Allison's first webcomic, Bobbins, and features many of the same characters. According to Allison, Scary Go Round was originally intended to run at the same time as Bobbins, but Allison said that he ended Bobbins for several reasons: to leave Keenspot, to focus on Scary Go Round, and because Scary Go Round was a "clean slate" to write compared to Bobbins which he called "a big mess". By contrast, Scary Go Round was intended from the start to be a work that could be printed in book form.

Scary Go Round first appeared on Modern Tales, but Allison said that joining the service was "a straight out mistake" and by 2003 had moved Scary Go Round off Modern Tales and onto its own website. In an interview in 2004, Allison said that Scary Go Round made up the majority of his income; and in a later interview he said it was "his living".

Scary Go Round was created in vector graphics program Adobe Illustrator, as opposed to earlier comics by Allison which he drew by hand on paper.

Scary Go Round ended in 2009. Allison said that he felt is work was becoming uninspired: "I had a lot of characters that I didn't care about, and I was making whole runs of strips about characters that people didn't really like... Seven and a half years is a long time and I had lost perspective and direction. I was also losing readers for the last year and it was evident that changes had to be made." Scary Go Round was succeeded in the same year by Bad Machinery, another webcomic in the same setting focusing on younger characters. Bad Machinery was initially published on the scarygoround.com site.

Allison has also used the term "Scary Go Round" to refer generally to his works that are connected to the same setting. As of 2021, the scarygoround.com site no longer hosts the Scary Go Round comics; instead the main page links to the various comics produced by Allison as well as to a site where PDFs of Scary Go Round can be purchased.

Premise
The characters in Scary Go Round are a group of students at Tackleford University. The city of Tackleford, a fictional town in North Yorkshire, constantly finds itself under attack by superhero-comic-style threats such as samurai, werewolves, giant robots, dimensional doorways, Bible-thumping witches, shy zombies and polite biker gangs.

The comic initially followed the lives of the barmaids Tessa Davies and Rachel Dukakis-Monteforte, but soon changed focus to another set of characters entirely, including Amy Chilton and Shelley Winters.

Characters

 * Adults

 * Shelley Winters: Daft and whimsical, Shelley is the unofficial protagonist of Scary Go Round. She is ranked No. 4 in the country for being disaster-prone, even dying on more than one occasion, and has a deep love for jam. Over the course of the strip she has held many jobs, ranging from mayor's assistant to newspaper reporter to a waitress. The final SGR strip shows her leaving for London and a job with the Ministry of History.
 * Amy Chilton: Tattooed, pink-haired friend of Shelley and daughter of journalism professor Len Pickering. Amy began the strip as a spoiled art student but has since become the most level-headed and successful of the main adult characters. She continues in Bad Machinery as Amy Beckwith-Chilton, married to Ryan Beckwith.
 * Ryan Beckwith: Aimless, good-natured friend of Amy and Shelley, given to buffoonish musings and Americanisms. He continues in Bad Machinery, married to Amy Chilton.
 * Tim Jones: This suave genius inventor was for many years the anchor of the cast: older brother figure to Shelley and Ryan, crush object of Amy, mentor to The Boy, and mayor of the town. He was exiled to Wales in 2006 and didn't appear again during the comic's run.
 * Riley Beckwith: Ryan's sister and Tim's wife, Riley's low opinion of the main cast led her to concoct a successful scheme to remove herself and Tim from the other characters' orbit. She's a dedicated believer in aliens.
 * Tessa and Rachel: These two barmaids were the original protagonists of Scary Go Round, but as the current cast came to dominate the proceedings, they first became villains and then were dispensed with (in Rachel's case, via immolation).
 * Gibbous Moon: A recurring character, a marine biologist and short-term love interest for Ryan, first introduced interning on an evil island, repenting after leaving with Shelley. Written out when revealed to be running an underground smuggling ring, and sent to jail.

 * Teenagers

 * Eustace Boyce, aka "The Boy": Nebbishy former assistant to one-time major character Tim Jones, The Boy and his girlfriend Dark Esther (see below) serve as protagonists of the story arcs that focus on the teenage cast. Lost his virginity to Esther de Groot in a caravan in Wales.
 * Esther de Groot, aka "Dark Esther": Adolescent goth. Lost her virginity to The Boy in a caravan in Wales, before they became a couple which would last until the end of the series. Esther would go on to be the principal character in Allison's later series Giant Days, centred around her time at university.
 * Erin Winters: Shelley's intelligent, sensible, serious sister. Erin was put under a spell by villain Bob Crowley that led her to follow him into a bleak hell dimension from which the creator of Scary Go Round asserts she will not return. As of the new comic Bad Machinery it appears she has returned as a newspaper journalist, at least temporarily.

Reception
Writing for The Sunday Times in 2006, Danny O'Brien called Scary Go Round one of the "coolest strips online", describing it as "postmodern British Horror" which was "subtle and stylishly drawn, with a bold cartoon edge". O'Brien said that the comic "reek[s] of cool Britannia" and that the dialogue "ma[de] a pleasant change from the nonstop Americana of most comics".

Also in 2006, James Eagle wrote for the British newspaper Morning Star that Scary Go Round was "brilliant", "bonkers", and "the best British strip that I've yet found".

Writing for Wizard magazine in 2006, Brian Warmoth said that Scary Go Round "stitches a world of frightfully bizarre and at times even Lovecraftian happenings together with a brilliantly quirky cast indicative of his understatedly British sense of humor."

Michael Whitney reviewed Scary Go Round in 2004 for the blog The Webcomics Examiner. Whitney said that compared to vector art used in Bobbins, "The paper dolls loosened up. The figures were squashed and stretched to make them feel more natural." Whitney said that Scary Go Round "decoupled" the Bobbins characters from gag humor, relationship obsession and reality: "They meander into stories full of zombies, witches and inter-dimensional doorways." Whitney added that despite the horror elements of the setting, "the characters take their circumstances too well to let us feel that they're facing a genuine threat in a horror story sense... The tone is too silly for genuinely dire consequences, which may be why Allison fielded some angry response when he killed off a popular character, Shelley, early in the strip." (Shelley would return to life in a later storyline.)

Awards
Scary Go Round won the Web Cartoonists' Choice Award for Outstanding Comic in 2005. It also won Outstanding Original Digital Art in 2003 and jointly won Outstanding Art in 2004 (tied with Mac Hall), and was nominated for a further 18 awards over the WCCA's history.

Shah-Ali

Shah-Ali (or Shahghali; Шах-Али; Шаһгали / Şahğali; also known as Shig-Aley; Шиг-Алей; 1505–1567) was a khan of the Qasim Khanate and the Khanate of Kazan. He ruled the Qasim Khanate for much of his life and three times tried to rule the Khanate of Kazan, which was independent until its conquest by Muscovy in 1552. He also ruled the town of Kasimov as a vassal of the Russians. He was the son of the Qasim Khan Sheikh Auliyar (reigned 1512–16) and grandson of Bakhtiar Sultan, a brother of Ahmed Khan bin Küchük (the Golden Horde ruler who lost control of Russia). One of his wives was the unfortunate Söyembikä of Kazan. He died childless in 1567 and was succeeded by Sain Bulat. He is described as physically repulsive and too fat to be a soldier, but a man of sound judgement. Shah-Ali was a direct descendant of Jochi Khan, the eldest son of Genghis Khan.

Biography
Shahghali came to the throne in 1516 at age 11 upon his father’s death. There is little information about this period. When he moved to Kazan his brother Jan Ali became khan of Kasimov.

1519–21: First Kazan. The house of Ulugh Mohammad having died out, there was talk of bringing in someone from the Crimean Khanate, but Russia managed to impose their vassal Shahghali. He was disliked as a Russian vassal and his violence toward his opponents only made things worse. An embassy went to Crimea and brought back Sahib I Giray (reigned 1521–25), the brother of Crimean khan Mehmed I Giray. He entered Kazan with no difficulty and Shahghali was arrested. Shahghali was soon released, but given few provisions and had difficulty making his way to Russian territory.

1521–47: Russian exile: When Shahghali reached Russia he was kept in honorable exile and his brother Jan Ali retained Kasimov. Sigismund von Herberstein met him in 1526. In 1533 he was accused of intrigue with Kazan and exiled to Belozersk and released in 1535.

1537–46: Second Kasimov: There is little documentation for this period.

1546: Second Kazan: in 1546 Russia defeated Kazan, khan Safa Girai fled, and the peace party accepted Shahghali as khan. He arrived with 3000 Kasimov troops and several Russian princes. Within a few weeks his troops were massacred and it was clear that he was a prisoner in his own palace, although there was no attempt to dethrone him. After some weeks of this he held a banquet, got everyone drunk and slipped out of the palace before anyone knew he was gone. The man who helped him escape was executed.

1546–51 Third Kasimov: Shahghali returned to Kasimov and in 1547-51 was involved in several attacks on Kazan.

1551–52 Third Kazan: Now greatly weakened, Kazan accepted Shahghali as khan. The previous Khan's widow (Soyembika) and her son were turned over to the Russians and thousands of Russian captives were released. The people would not accept their near-conquest and he could not manage the conflict between his position as both a Russian vassal and ruler of an independent khanate. He killed some three thousand of his opponents, but this made things worse. Russia sent an ambassador suggesting that Russian troops enter the town to restore order, but he refused to surrender his city to unbelievers. A second embassy demanded his deposition. Instead he fled the town for a third time and returned to Kasimov.

1552–67 Fourth Kasimov. Shahghali took part in the final Russian conquest of Kazan in 1552. He was visited by Anthony Jenkinson in 1558.

In 1559 he participated in the Livonian War as commander of the Russian avant-garde, and besieged Narva and Pärnu.

In 1562 he defended Polock and in 1564-1565 defended Velikie Luki on the Russian border. He died childless in 1567.

Checksum is only used to check that the data sent is correct, it doesnt change anything!

In order to ensure content accuracy you should consider using something like MD5 or SHA-1, which are cryptographic hashing algorithms and in wide use for such purposes.

Checksums are good at detecting accidental corruption (e.g. that introduced by signal noise) but the algorithm is sufficiently predictable that it forms no defence against malicious attack. For that sort of purpose, a cryptographic hash function should instead be used, which is a kind of checksumming algorithm that has the additional property that it is pretty easy to go from the data to the hash, but very hard to find some data that hashes to a particular value. (Or at least that's the way it is supposed to work; SHA-256 is the current recommendation for crypto-hash functions as MD5 has been broken and SHA-1 is believed breakable. It should be possible to reference these; they were results from a team in China, and were fairly widely reported even outside the security conference where their papers were.) 82.42.250.222 00:26, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

How to get fuzzy match in search inquiry
I accidentally typed checksun into the search field. Is there a way I could put in, did you mean checksum? Like google does?

 * Someone could create a redirect from checksun to checksum.-96.237.1.158 (talk) 11:15, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

 * ✅. checksun now redirects to "checksum". --DavidCary (talk) 18:20, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

example has an error
Step 3 of the example has an error: the two's complement of 18h is E7h. This means that when testing the checksum byte, the result will be FFh, not 00h as stated. Should 1 be added to the checksum at some point? Klox 21:42, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

I guess, you made the one's complement what is not requested. (Elmar Sack (talk) 08:03, 8 December 2007 (UTC))

 * The example does not seem correct: 118h + E8h = 200h, not 100h as stated. Is this a mistake? Brolin Empey 17:42, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it is. (Elmar Sack (talk) 08:03, 8 December 2007 (UTC))

hex
For us non-computery regular folks, howabout using regular numbers instead of hex for clarity? Also, the last digit of a barcode is based on added all the other digits together. Is this a checksum? A bar code would probably be a great example of a checksum at work, as regular people could understand it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.57.220.248 (talk) 22:25, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

 * The last digit of a barcode is a "check digit". A "check digit" is a kind of checksum that is only 1 digit long. I agree that better examples would be good. --68.0.124.33 (talk) 07:41, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

 * In what way are values in bases other than ten, not "regular numbers"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.242.114.255 (talk) 03:00, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Checksums, FEC and hash functions
These, though apparently similar, are distinguished by their different purposes:
 * Checksums are added to data items to provide a simple (incomplete) means of error detection. A checksum is useful to assure the integrity of even a single data instance. This type of checksum is generally much shorter than the data and is only for a cursory check.
 * Longer FEC codes that are derived from the data provide both error detection and some error correction capabilities. They can be called checksums but in reality are intended for more than just checking the data. They are used widely in digital communication and represent a significant bandwidth overhead.
 * Hash functions are intended to segregate a mass of many data items into a smaller number of groups where, ideally, similar but not identical data items fall into different groups. Hash functions are useful only to detect duplicates or speed searching in a large database, where the data items are assumed to be free of errors. Cuddlyable3 (talk) 14:35, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Tools
Could do with reference to tools that test how good a checksum algorithm is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ralph Corderoy (talk • contribs) 11:54, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Checksums should not be used where data may change!
To strengthen a previous note of warning...

Checksums can guarantee to catch 1-or-2-bit corruption, and are

likely to catch other changes, but cannot be trusted to guarantee

that data has not changed in any general/wholesale way, particularly

for large datasets. A checksum is ultimately/only a highly many-to-one

mapping. I just ran a test, generating a 64-bit checksum for every file

on my computer, and of the 1.5 million-or-so files, I found 60 pairs of

completely different files that shared a checksum (no triples).

Either you are very lucky/unlucky or your 64-bit checksum is using a very poor function. A good 64-bit checksum would have a very small chance of any random false duplicates among a million files.-96.237.1.158 (talk) 11:21, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

 * No, completely unrelated (assuming you're referring to CheckUser). Jaho (talk) 17:20, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Order independence
The article should highlight the fact that only the simplest checksum hash functions are order independent. Generally order dependence is preferred, for more sensitive detection of differences. But sometimes order independence is desired (and insensitivity to zeroes) so a simple sum or XOR is desired. In the *nix world this is available with the classic sum utility. But in the Windows world these simple hash functions are very hard to find. The best source seems to be sum, ported in UnxUtils and CoreUtils for Windows.

See superuser.com/questions/168202/difference-between-unxutils-and-gnu-coreutils for details: "Unxutils are windows native, and have no dependancies - but haven't been updated in a while, and are a subset of coreutils."

Lead sentence is incomprehensible to this layman
"A checksum or hash sum is a sedfrg-size datum computed from an arbitrary block of digital data for the purpose of detecting accidental errors that may have been introduced during its transmission or storage. "

What the heck is sedfrg-size? This needs to be redone! But I don't know what it means so someone who does should. Vranak (talk)

mentally computed checksums
The "disposable email address" article briefly mentions "mentally computed checksums". Which Wikipedia article is the best place for more details about such checksums? --DavidCary (talk) 18:33, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Promodular sum?
The modular sum section uses this term, which I have never come across. The term is not defined elsewhere in the article nor in the article linked to shortly after the term is used. Searching the web for "Promodular sum" only brings up references to this article, or copies of it, plus some references to a company called Promodular. Can someone either provide references for this term, or remove it?81.154.116.170 (talk) 21:13, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Error in modular sum description? (resolved, reader error)
The article includes:

"A variant of the previous algorithm is to add all the 'words' as unsigned binary numbers, discarding any overflow bits, and append the two's complement of the total as the checksum. To validate a message, the receiver adds all the words in the same manner, including the checksum; if the result is not a word full of zeros, an error must have occurred."

The message validation description doesn't sound right. E.g., suppose the words are 001 010. Then the sender computes the sum: 011, and sends along the message 001 010 011. Then the receiver would add all three to get: 110. Then "the result is not a word full of zeros", but it's not the case that "an error … occurred;" in fact, the transmission was correct. Am I missing something, or is this description in the article misleading? 172.97.99.122 (talk) 22:39, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Oh, I missed the bit about two's complement. Taking that into consideration, the sender adds 001 and 010 to get 011, then takes the two's complement of 011 to get 101, and sends the message 001 010 101.  The sender then adds these and gets (1)000 which, when the overflow is ignored, is 000, a word full of zeros. 172.97.99.122 (talk) 22:45, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Digest as synonym of checksum-value
To avoid confusion, when people are looking for checksums as hashes:
 * checksum algorithm = hash function algorithm
 * checksum input = hash function input = message
 * checksum (computed) value = digest (of the message)
 * checksum (computed) value = digest (of the message)

Krauss (talk)

Math Error
Surely the 2-bit error detection rate for a parity byte is (n-1)/n rather than 1/n 2607:F470:6:200E:E5C9:265F:4C4E:51E9 (talk) 18:44, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Fuzzy checksum?
The concept of "fuzzy checksum" is used in spam detection. Several such articles already mention the term in their text but, as yet, there is no description in a Wikipedia article.

I'm not sure there is enough material to warrant giving the topic its own WP article, and there is surprisingly little out there as formal reliable sources, so I propose adding a short anchored section at the end of this article (using what sources I can find), and setting up wikilinks from the articles that refer to the term. Any thoughts?

Kasimov

Kasimov (Каси́мов; Касыйм;, Ханкирмән Latinized : Kasıym, Hankirmən, historically Gorodets Meshchyorsky, Novy Nizovoy) is a town in Ryazan Oblast, Russia, located on the left bank of the Oka River. Population:   17,000 (1910).

History
The first population of this area was a Finnic tribe called the Meshchyora, later assimilated by Russians and Tatars. The town was founded in 1152 by the Vladimir-Suzdal ruler Yuri Dolgorukiy as Grodets, then Gorodets Meschyorsky (Городец Мещёрский). It was included in the Mishar Yurt division of the Golden Horde, but then was sold to Muscovy.

In 1376, the town was destroyed by the Mongol, but was soon rebuilt as Novy Nizovoy (Новый Низовой). After the Battle of Suzdal in 1445 (in which Grand Duke Vasily II was taken prisoner), the Meschyora lands were given to Oluğ Möxämmäd, Khan of Kazan Khanate as a ransom for the sovereign's life.

In 1452, Great Duke Vasily II of the Grand Duchy of Moscow gave this town to Kazan prince Qasim Khan, who served as tribute inspector of the Great Horde, but then came to Russian service. By other accounts, Qasim and his brother Yosif fled from Kazan after losing their bid for the throne against their brother Mäxmüd. After 1471, the town was known as Qasím city. It remained the capital of Qasim Khanate until 1681 when the khanate was re-absorbed into Russia.

A group of Tatars settled there in 15th century and are now known as Qasim Tatars. They speak the Mishar dialect, mixed with the Middle Tatar dialect of the Tatar language. In the 19th century, it became known for its waiters, who staffed many of the St Petersburg hotels.

Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Kasimov serves as the administrative center of Kasimovsky District, even though it is not a part of it. As an administrative division, it is incorporated separately as the town of oblast significance of Kasimov —an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts. As a municipal division, the town of oblast significance of Kasimov is incorporated as Kasimov Urban Okrug.

Layout and landmarks

In the 17th century, the town was separated into three parts:
 * Old Town (Russian: Старый Посад; Tatar: İske Bistä) and Tatar Town (Russian: Татарская слобода; Tatar: Tatar Bistäse) regulated by khan of Qasim Khanate and Tatar noblemen;
 * Yamskoy Town (Russian: Ямская слобода) of Russian commoners, regulated by Moscow;
 * Marfin Town (Russian: Марфина слобода, Tatar: Marfin Bistäse) – part of the city, regulated by Kasimov voyevodas.

Historical buildings:
 * Khan's Mosque (with a limestone minaret from either 1467 or the 1550s)
 * Mausoleum of Shahghali (Şahğäli) Khan (1555)
 * Mausoleum of Afghan Moxammad (Äfğan Möxämmäd) Khan (1658)
 * Russian Orthodox churches:
 * Church of the Epiphany (Богоявленская церковь) 17th century;
 * St. Nicholas Church (Никольская церковь) 17th century;
 * Trinity Church (Троицкая церковь) 17th century;
 * Cathedral of the Ascension (Вознесенский собор) 19th century.

Burt Hooton

Burt Carlton Hooton (born February 7, 1950), nicknamed "Happy", is an American former right-handed starting pitcher and former coach in Major League Baseball. He won 151 games over a 15-year career, mostly with the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers.

Hooton's career began auspiciously with a no-hitter in his fourth major league game for the Cubs, and perhaps gained his widest recognition for his several playoff performances with the Dodgers. His only All-Star appearance was in 1981, when he also was named the NLCS Most Valuable Player on the way to helping the Dodgers to a World Series championship with four postseason wins in five appearances.

He was pitching coach of the Fort Wayne TinCaps, the Class-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres from 2013 to 2019.

High school
Hooton attended Richard King High School in Corpus Christi, Texas, leading the Mustangs to a 4A State Championship in the school's second year of operation in 1967. Hooton graduated from King in 1968.

College
Hooton attended the University of Texas at Austin, where he had a College Hall of Fame career, was a three-time All-American from 1969–71 and set several school and conference records. He also made the Southwest All-Conference team three times and was the team MVP in 1971. He posted a 35–3 record including two no-hitters within weeks of each other in 1971, one of which was a perfect game for 8 innings of a scheduled 7 inning game.

He played in the NCAA Tournament all three years, making it to the College World Series in 1969 and 1970. In 1969, the Longhorns came in 4th and Hooton made the All-Tournament team, and in 1970, the Longhorns came in 3rd. The Longhorns won conference championships all three years he was on the team.

Pitching for the Boulder Collegians in the summer of 1969, Burt started and won the 64th Midnight Sun Game, which was hosted by the Alaska Goldpanners of Fairbanks.

He was inducted into the Longhorn Hall of Honor in 1981. In 1998 he was admitted to the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame and in 2008 to the College Baseball Hall of Fame. In 2009, his number (#20) was retired by the Longhorns.

Chicago Cubs
After college, Hooton was selected by the Cubs with the second pick of the 1971 amateur draft. He made his major league debut with the team on June 17 of that year, but appeared in only three games before the end of the season, striking out 15 batters in one of them. He was the third player to go straight to the Major Leagues after being drafted without spending a day in the minors. He began 1972 in outstanding fashion, pitching a 4–0 no-hitter against the Philadelphia Phillies at Wrigley Field on April 16, the second day of the strike-delayed season. But he was unable to win consistently as the team's fortunes declined in the early 1970s, and he was traded to Los Angeles in May 1975 after compiling a 34–44 record with a steadily increasing earned run average.

Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers were headed in the opposite direction from the Cubs, and Hooton was 18–7 with a 2.82 ERA over the remainder of the year, winning his last 12 decisions for a team record. After a disappointing 1976 season, he used his strong knuckle curve to become a valuable member of the pennant-winning teams of the next two years, leading the staff with 153 strikeouts in 1977 and with 19 wins and a 2.71 ERA in 1978. He finished second to Gaylord Perry in the 1978 Cy Young Award voting. Also in 1978, he finished 15th in Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award voting.

Hooton started Game 3 of the 1977 NLCS against the Phillies, but was pulled after issuing three consecutive bases-loaded walks in the second inning; the Dodgers came back to win, 6–5. In the World Series against the New York Yankees, he pitched a 6–1 victory in Game 2, allowing only five singles and retiring 14 of the last 15 hitters to tie the Series at one game each. But in Game 6, he left in the fourth inning with the Dodgers behind, 4–3, after giving up a 2-run home run to Reggie Jackson—Jackson's first of three in the game, all on the first pitch. The Yankees won 8–4, taking the Series in six games. The 1978 playoffs were rematches; in Game 1 of the NLCS against the Phillies, Hooton left after allowing three runs in the fifth inning, although the Dodgers still led, 7–4, and went on to win the game. In the Series rematch with the Yankees he won Game 2, leaving in the seventh inning with a 4–2 lead as Los Angeles held on for a 4–3 win to take a 2–0 Series edge. But Game 5 was another crushing defeat as Hooton was yanked after allowing four runs in the third inning for a 4–2 Yankee lead, with New York romping to a 12–2 blowout and their third straight win. The Yankees won again two days later for their second consecutive title.

After solid but unspectacular years in 1979 and 1980, Hooton enjoyed an 11–6 campaign in the strike-shortened 1981 season, posting a career-best 2.28 ERA and being named to his only All-Star team. He began the playoffs with a win against the Houston Astros in Game 3 of the Division Series, allowing only three hits, including an Art Howe solo homer, through seven innings. After the Dodgers won the series in five games, they went on to face the Montreal Expos in the NLCS; Hooton won Game 1, allowing only six hits before leaving in the eighth inning with a 2–0 lead. Returning in Game 4 with the Dodgers behind two games to one, he allowed only five hits and one unearned run before leaving in the eighth inning with a 3–1 lead; the Dodgers went on to a 7–1 win, and won Game 5 to advance to the World Series, again meeting the Yankees. Hooton was named the NLCS MVP for his two wins and perfect 0.00 ERA. He started Game 2 of the World Series, but took a tough loss after leaving the game in the seventh inning, behind 1–0 on an unearned run; the Yankees went on to win 3–0 behind the pitching of his former Dodger teammate Tommy John. But he came back with another strong outing in Game 6, leaving with an 8–1 lead in the sixth inning as the Dodgers won 9–2, taking their first World Series title since 1965. Because of his unassuming nature, broadcaster Vin Scully said that to celebrate, Hooton would probably go out and "paint the town beige." Hooton remained with the Dodgers for three more years, but with a combined record of just 16–21; he spent most of 1984 in the bullpen.

Texas Rangers
Hooton played his last season in 1985 for the Texas Rangers after signing with them as a free agent, going 5–8.

Coaching
Hooton returned to the University of Texas to earn his degree in journalism and then began a career as a pitching coach. He first worked in the Dodgers organization in 1988 with the Class A Salem (Oregon) Dodgers. He moved up to the pitching coach of the Double-A San Antonio Missions from 1990 to 1994 and then in 1995–96 with the Triple-A Albuquerque Dukes. He returned to the University of Texas again, as the pitching coach from 1997 to 1999. In 2000 started the season as the pitching coach at Double-A Round Rock, a Houston Astros affiliate, before being named pitching coach of the major league club midway through the season where he stayed until mid-season 2004 when manager Jimy Williams was fired. Nonetheless, one of the pitchers he coached, fellow Longhorn Roger Clemens, won the Cy Young Award that season. In 2005, he returned to Round Rock as pitching coach until 2010, when the team moved to Oklahoma City, where he worked in the same position through the end of the 2012 season. In 2013, he was hired as the pitching coach for the Fort Wayne TinCaps, the Class-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres.

United Arab Emirates national football team

The United Arab Emirates national football team (منتخب الإمَارَاتُ الْعَرَبِيَّةُ الْمُتَّحِدَة لِكُرَّةُ الْقَدَم) represents United Arab Emirates in international football and serves under the auspices of the country's Football Association.

It has made one World Cup appearance in 1990 in Italy and lost all three of its games. United Arab Emirates took fourth place in the 1992 AFC Asian Cup and runner-up in 1996 as host. It won the Arabian Gulf Cup in 2007 and 2013. It finished third in the 2015 AFC Asian Cup and hosted the 2019 edition in which it was eliminated in the semi-finals.

History
The first match of the team was played on 17 March 1972 against Qatar at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium and won with the only goal scored by Ahmed Chowbi. Then, the team faced three other Arabian countries, losing 4–0 and 7–0 to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait respectively and beating Bahrain 3 to nothing. After participating in four Gulf Cup tournaments since 1972, United Arab Emirates (UAE) hosted the 1982 edition. It again finished third as did in the two previous tournaments.

In 1980, United Arab Emirates first-time qualified for the AFC Asian Cup which was held in Kuwait and were drawn with eventual winners, Kuwait, runner-up South Korea, Malaysia and Qatar in Group B. It drew 1–1 with Kuwait and lost the three other matches and finished in fifth place in the group and ninth (out of ten teams) overall. It also qualified for the next two tournaments, 1984 in Singapore and 1988 in Qatar and was again eliminated in the group stages in both. Its first victory of the tournament occurred against India on 7 December 1984, under manager Heshmat Mohajerani.

In 1984, Mohajerani resigned and was replaced with Carlos Alberto Parreira. Parreira led the team at the 1988 Asian Cup and left his position after the tournament. He was succeeded by Mário Zagallo. Zagallo led the team to the qualification for the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy. However, Zagallo resigned before the tournament and Parreira returned. The team finished fourth at the 1990 World Cup's final tournament with no points, scoring two goals and conceding 11 goals. The journey was put into a 2016 documentary titled Lights of Rome. After the tournament, Parreira was sacked.

At the 1992 and 1996 AFC Asian Cups, United Arab Emirates finished fourth and second respectively for the first times. United Arab Emirates appeared in the 1997 FIFA Confederations Cup after being awarded a spot because Saudi Arabia was hosting the games.

United Arab Emirates missed the qualification for the 2000 AFC Asian Cup in Lebanon and finished in last place at the 2002 Arabian Gulf Cup in Saudi Arabia. It was eliminated in the next three Asian Cup tournaments at the group stage. In 2004 and 2007 editions, UAE was all eliminated by the hand to debutants Jordan and Vietnam. In 2011, it finished the tournament goalless. At this time, United Arab Emirates appointed world class coaches like Carlos Queiroz, Roy Hodgson and Dick Advocaat. In 2006, UAE appointed Bruno Metsu as the new manager. He led the Emirates to carry the 2007 Arabian Gulf Cup title.

After hiring foreign coaches, in 2012, United Arab Emirates appointed the Olympic team coach Mahdi Ali as the manager of the senior team. Ali began creating a squad inviting players that he had worked with at the youth level. He led the Emirates to their second Arabian Gulf Cup title in 2013. At the 2015 AFC Asian Cup, United Arab Emirates defeated Qatar 4–1 and Bahrain 2–1 and lost to Iran by a goal. As group runner-up, it faced the defending champions Japan in the quarter-final and earned a victory on penalties to advance to the last four. In the semi-finals, it lost 2–0 to the host Australia. In the third-place play-off, it beat Iraq 3–2. United Arab Emirates qualified through the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification where it finished fourth in Group B thus failing to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Ahmed Khalil was a top scorer in the qualification. Around this time Mahdi Ali resigned from his position.

United Arab Emirates then hosted the 2019 AFC Asian Cup, this marked the second time they hosted an AFC Asian Cup. The team had Italian Alberto Zaccheroni as their coach. In the AFC Asian Cup tournament, UAE proceeded to the quarter-finals where it scored its first-ever goal against Australia to gain its first-ever win against this opponent. The semi-finals was between the host and Qatar. Some audiences threw footwear in the pitch after Qatar scored its second goal. UAE lost 0–4 marking its first defeat to Qatar since 2001.

United Arab Emirates joined the second round of 2022 World Cup qualifiers and was placed with all-out Southeast Asian opponents. The team had already appointed the Dutch guider Bert van Marwijk. Bert was sacked after his start undergoing two away losses to Thailand and Vietnam in the qualifiers along his group stage exit in the 24th Arabian Gulf Cup. After this, the Emirates decided to naturalize Argentine Sebastián Tagliabúe, Brazilian Caio Canedo Corrêa and Fábio Virginio de Lima, the three South American players, having never done so since the foundation of the national team. The team then experienced a period of coaching instabilities, with three different coaches, before van Marwijk resumed his duty due to crisis in option. With the COVID-19 pandemic however, the AFC decided the remaining games of the second round would be played in one country, and with the UAE chosen to host Group G, they were able to utilize the home-field advantage as the host nation, ultimately u-turned the earlier misery into four consecutive wins to break through into the third round, where they faced its neighbours and the powerhouses Iran and South Korea. In the third round, the UAE failed to produce a promising performance after winning just one out of six first games, a 1–0 away win over Lebanon, drew three and lost two, adding with the UAE's below average performance in the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup despite reaching the quarter-finals, that was enough to sack the Dutch manager van Marwijk yet again. After inconsistency in performance, the UAE appointed Argentine manager Rodolfo Arruabarrena as coach, and the team's result improved, winning two out of four games, notably an impressive 1–0 home win over already-qualified South Korea, to reach the fourth round, increased hope for the country to qualify for the first-ever World Cup since 1990, where they would face the old foe Australia, whom the UAE defeated in the latest meeting. However, the UAE was unable to utilise their geographical advantage in the playoff in neighbouring Qatar, losing 1–2 to Australia by a thunderous strike at 84' by Ajdin Hrustic to deny the UAE's its potential second appearance; they later stunned South America's rising power Peru to qualify for the edition.

The rivalry with Qatar is a competitive one in the Arabian Gulf Cup meeting in multiple occasions, due to Qatar diplomatic crisis, increasing tensions had been witnessed, with the captain of UAE under-19 youth team refused to shake hands with Qatar's youth captain in 2018 AFC U-19 Championship held in Indonesia; in this tournament, the UAE beat Qatar 2–1 but still crashed out from the group stage while Qatar would recover to qualify for the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup. As of 2020, Qatar and UAE have played 31 official matches, most of which was held competitively in the Arabian Gulf Cup, it started off with the United Arab Emirates beating Qatar 1–0. They only played 2 friendly games and the last friendly was held in 2011 which ended with an Emirati victory. In the 2019 AFC Asian Cup, hosted by the UAE, Qatar overran the UAE for the first time since 2001 with the result 4–0, with heavy tensions and violence occurred between two and Emirati supporters cheering anti-Qatari chants.

Saudi Arabia
Another major rival the UAE takes on Arabian Gulf Cup many times, the two teams have met in the AFC Asian Cup twice, first in the semi-finals of the 1992 edition which ended in a Saudi victory and second in the final of the 1996 edition in which UAE hosted, the game ended in a goalless draw which meant the game had to be decided in penalties, the game ended with Saudi Arabia taking home their 3rd title with the penalty scoreline being 4–2, this remains the only time the Emirates qualified for the final meanwhile this would also be the last time the Saudis would win an Asian Cup as they would lose the next two finals they qualified for in 2000 and 2007. When the countries meet in qualifier matches, the matchup has been nicknamed "clash of titans" as both countries have been some of the more successful teams in the Arabian Peninsula.

Kit
The UAE's traditional home kit is all-white with some red trim while their away kit is all-red with some white trim, in 2019, the away colors were black for the first time in addition, there were some green trim.

Nickname
The United Arab Emirates is known by supporters and the media as Al-Abyad, meaning The Whites which reference to their white jersey and also Eyal Zayed which means Zayed's sons.

In October 2012, the Asian Football Confederation official website published an article about the UAE national team's campaign to qualify for the 2015 AFC Asian Cup, in which the team was referred to using the racial slur "sand monkey". This was the indirect result of vandalism of the Wikipedia article on the team, and the AFC was forced to apologise.
