Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips:
 * Read the Tutorial, How to edit a page and the Manual of Style.
 * Create a User page.
 * Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
 * Read the Policies and guidelines.
 * Add yourself to the New user log.
 * Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
 * Be bold!
 * Use the Show preview button
 * Provide an Edit summary.

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the  link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alphax τεχ 11:27, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

I don't really see a point in that long list of books. As this is an encyclopedia, shouldn't we focus on her ideas like I did about place-based identities? If there is mention of a book, there should be a point to it - why is it important, what does she say in it that's interesting, etc. Zigzig20s 22:33, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Bellamy.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Bellamy.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 02:05, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Lancaster house.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Lancaster house.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 00:07, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

International Institute for Environment and Development
A tag has been placed on International Institute for Environment and Development requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Mdsummermsw (talk) 16:07, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:DavidHarvey.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:DavidHarvey.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion.

Fair use rationale for Image:Jane-Tewson.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Jane-Tewson.jpg. 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 Wikipedia articles 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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 ensure 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 04:05, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Hans Kristian Rausing
A tag has been placed on Hans Kristian Rausing requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia.

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Batterbu! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

Replaceable fair use File:Rob_adams_120x120.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Rob_adams_120x120.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 20:22, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Paul James (academic)

The article Paul James (academic) has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Winner 42 Talk to me!  18:59, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Some tips to help you out!
Hi, I thought I'd drop a few notes on your talk page with some help on writing articles :o)

First of all, it may be best for you to do a bit of reading, starting with the Wikipedia manual of style, which will give you a lot of information about how Wikipedia prefers its articles to be written. It's not as hard to follow as it might look; quite a bit of the information there probably won't be vital for you at first.

Second, I recommend you make a user sandbox - which is just an area you can use to practise in, and to make notes in, and to get things ready in. If you click this red link: user:/Sandbox, that will let you create that page (it gives you an edit window to start work in). Anything, anywhere, on the help and information pages which gives you an example, try it out in your sandbox until you're familiar with it.

For your article, the next thing you want to do is start collecting as much information as you can about it. Google searches (particularly in Books and Scholar) will be your best friend for this! Once you've found the information, the next most important thing is to start writing up each fact in your own words (very important, this), and make a note at the same time of exactly where that information came from. Build in the references as you go along; I'm going to copy in, down below this, a whole heap of help on doing references, which was produced by one of our best teachers (Chzz).

Here's another place that you'll find incredibly useful - citation templates which you can copy and paste into your sandbox, between tags; you just fill in the blanks from your sources into the template, and you'll end up with nicely formatted inline citations :o) It all helps.  Remember to add a references section to your sandbox (make a new line, and put ==References== on it, and type  on the next line, so that you can see how your citations look as you do them. Remember to save your page often! You don't want to lose your work.

Hopefully this will give you a good start and make life easier for you.

One last thing to keep as a motto: "It's better to write one good, well-referenced, nicely-presented article than it is to create fifty unreferenced one-line stubs!" Pesky ( talk  …stalk!) 08:37, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Simple references
These require two parts;

 * a)

Chzz is 98 years old.

He likes tea.

 * b) A section called "References" with the special code " ";

Named references
Chzz was born in 1837.

Chzz lives in Footown.

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.

Citation templates
You can put anything you like between, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;

Chzz has 37 Olympic medals.

Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.

For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.

Something to make your life easier!
Hi there ! I've just come across one of your articles, and noticed that you had to create titles for your url links manually, or were using bare urls as references.

You might want to consider using this tool - it makes your life a whole heap easier, by filling in complete citation templates for your links. All you do is install the script on Special:MyPage/common.js, or or Special:MyPage/vector.js, then paste the bare url (without [...] brackets) between your tabs, and you'll find a clickable link called Reflinks in your toolbox section of the page (probably in the left hand column). Then click that tool. It does all the rest of the work (provided that you remember to save the page! It doesn't work for everything (particularly often not for pdf documents), but for pretty much anything ending in "htm" or "html" (and with a title) it will do really, really well. Happy editing!

Speedy deletion nomination of Harold Brookfield

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Harold Brookfield requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Hello batterbu, your article was flagged for speedy deletion because it contained only an external link, which, on it's own, does not count as meaningful, substantiative content. On wikipedia there is a ten-minute rule where articles without substantial content cannot be speedily deleted within ten minutes of creation. If you do not want the article to be speedily deleted, please add content now. Passengerpigeon (talk) 12:51, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:Jamie Peck, geographer, 2013.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Ways to improve Théodore Macdonald
Hi, I'm Rosguill. Batterbu, thanks for creating Théodore Macdonald!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The article needs to better distinguish MacDonald's political convictions from additional contextual information written in Wikipedia's voice, otherwise the article gives the impression of being biased. It should also be edited to have a more encyclopedic tone–among other things, we shouldn't be including first-person-plural statements like We know he had an MD and worked as a doctor...

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Quick Installation
[Step 1: Unpack the package to your usb stick or a partition of your choice. There it must be on the highest level like E:\ or W:\. It will build E:\xampp or W:\xampp or something like this. Please do not use the "setup_xampp.bat" for an USB stick installation!]

Step 1: Unpack the package into a directory of your choice. Please start the "setup_xampp.bat" and beginning the installation. Note: xampp makes no entries in the windows registry and no settings for the system variables.

Step 2: If installation ends successfully, start the Apache 2 with "apache_start".bat", MySQL with "mysql_start".bat". Stop the MySQL Server with "mysql_stop.bat". For shutdown the Apache HTTPD, only close the Apache Command (CMD).

Step 3: Start your browser and type http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost in the location bar. You should see our pre-made start page with certain examples and test screens.

Step 4: PHP (with mod_php, as *.php, *.php4, *.php3, *.phtml), Perl by default with *.cgi, SSI with *.shtml are all located in

=> \...\xampp\htdocs\.

Beispiele (Examples):

=> \...\xampp\htdocs\test.php => http://localhost/test.php

=> \...\xampp\myhome\test.php => http://localhost/myhome/test.php

Step 5: XAMPP UNINSTALL? Simply remove the "xampp" Directory. But before please shutdown the apache and mysql.

\...\xampp\apache\mysql_installservice.bat =

==> Install MySQL as service

\...\xampp\apache\mysql_uninstallservice.bat =

==> Uninstall MySQL as service

==> After all Service (un)installations, better restart system!

Apache Notes

 * 1) In contrast of apache 1.x, you can not stop the apache2 with the command "apache -k shutdown". These functions only for an installations as service by NT systems. So, simply close the Apache START command for shutdown.
 * 2) To use the experimental version of mod_auth_mysql remove the # in the httpd.conf. Detailed information about this topic can be found on the left menu of xampp, once you started it.
 * 3) To use Mod_Dav load the Modules mod_dav.so + mod_dav_fs.so in the httpd.conf by removing the # on the beginning of their lines. Then try http://127.0.0.1:81 (not for Frontpage, but for Dreamweaver)

MySQL Notes
C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root password secret
 * 1) The MySQL server can be started by double-clicking (executing) mysql_start.bat. This file can be found in the same folder you installed xampp in, most likely this will be C:\xampp\. The exact path to this file is X:\xampp\mysql_start.bat, where "X" indicates the letter of the drive you unpacked xampp into. This batch file starts the MySQL server in console mode. The first intialization might take a few minutes.
 * Do not close the DOS window or you'll crash the server! To stop the server, please use mysql_shutdown.bat, which is located in the same directory.
 * 1) To use the MySQL Daemon with "innodb" for better performance, please edit the "my" (or "my.cnf") file in the /xampp/mysql/bin directory or for services the c:\my.cnf for windows NT/2000. In there, activate the "innodb_data_file_path=ibdata1:30M" statement. Attention, "innodb" is not recommended for 95/98/ME/XP Home.
 * To use MySQL as Service for NT/2000/XP Professional, simply copy the "my" / "my.cnf" file to C:\my, or C:\my.cnf. Please note that this file has to be placed in C:\ (root), other locations are not permitted. Then execute the "mysql_installservice.bat" in the mysql folder.
 * 1) MySQL starts with standard values for the user id and the password. The preset user id is "root", the password is "" (= no password). To access MySQL via PHP with the preset values, you'll have to use the following syntax:     mysql_connect("localhost","root",""); If you want to set a password for MySQL access, please use of mysqladmin. To set the passwort "secret" for the user "root", type the following:
 * After changing the password you'll have to reconfigure PHPMyAdmin to use the new password, otherwise it won't be able to access the databases. To do that, open the file config.inc.php in \xampp\phpmyadmin\ and edit the    following lines:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']           = 'root';   // MySQL user $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']      = 'http';   // HTTP authentificate
 * So first the 'root' password is queried by the MySQL server, before PHPMyAdmin may access.

Have a lot of fun! Viel Spaß! Bonne Chance!

Antarctic Technology Offshore Lagoon Laboratory

The Antarctic Technology Offshore Lagoon Laboratory (ATOLL) was a floating oceanographic laboratory for in situ observation experiments. This facility also tested instruments and equipment for polar expeditions. The ATOLL hull was the largest fiberglass structure ever built at that time. It was in operation from 1982 to 1995.

Structure and infrastructure
The ATOLL was composed of three curved fiberglass elements, each 25 m long and having a draught of only 38 cm. For towing, the elements could be assembled in a long S-shape; in operation, the elements would form a horseshoe shape surrounding 150 m2 water surface. The lab provided ample space for twelve researchers. The laboratory contained a lab, storage and supply facilities, a dormitory, computer room, and a fireplace.

The laboratory was installed and operated in the Baltic Sea (and the Bay of Kiel in particular) at the initiative and under the direction of Uwe Kils, at the Institute of Oceanography (Institut für Meereskunde) of the University of Kiel. The fiberglass hulls themselves were bought from Waki Zöllner's "Atoll" company.

The onboard computer was a NeXT and the first versions of a virtual microscope of Antarctic krill for interactive dives into their morphology and behavior were developed here, finding later mention in Science magazine. The lab was connected to the Internet via a radio link, and the first images of ocean critters on the internet came from this NeXT. The first ever in situ videos of Atlantic herring feeding on copepods were recorded from this lab.

An underwater observation and experimentation room allowed direct observation and manipulation through large portholes.

The technical equipment included an ultra-high-resolution scanning sonar that was used for locating schools of juvenile herring, for guiding a ROV, which was controlled via a cyberhelmet and glove, and for determining positions, distances, and speeds. Probes measured the water salinity, temperature, and oxygen levels. Special instruments could measure plankton-, particle-, and bubble-concentrations and their size distributions. Imaging equipment included low-light still and high speed video cameras using shuttered Laser-sheet or infrared LED illumination. An endoscope-system for non-invasive optical measurements called ecoSCOPE, which could also be mounted on an ROV, was developed and used to record the microscale dynamics and behavior of the highly evasive herring.

Research

Scientific investigations aboard the ATOLL concentrated on one of the most important food chain transitions: the linkages between the early life stages of herring (Clupea harengus) and their principal prey, the copepods. A major hypotheses of fisheries ecologists is that the microdistribution of prey, the microturbulence of the ocean, or the retention conditions are normally not suited to allow strong year classes of fish to develop. In most years more than 99% of herring larvae do not survive. Occasionally however, physical and biotic conditions are favorable, larval survival is high, and large year-classes result. Research work at the ATOLL investigated the effects of small-scale dynamics on fish feeding and predator avoidance and their correlation to year-class strength.

Research questions investigated by students during courses and their thesis work at the Laboratory included: What are the effects of the natural light gradient on predator-prey interactions? How can the predator best see the prey without being seen? How does the focussing of small waves oscillating light regime influence camouflage and attack strategy? What are the influences of the different frequencies of microturbulences? How do such effects change at the moment when herring larvae join into schools? What role does the phenomenon of aggregation play? Do ocean physics create or alter organism-aggregations? Can the dynamics of aggregations effect ocean physics at the microscales? Are there effects of the surface waves? What are the distribution and dynamics of microbubbles caused by turbulences and gas-oversaturations? How can the organisms orient in respect to micro-gradients of the ocean physics? How do they survive in the direct vicinity of undulating anoxia and hypoxia? Why are eelpouts, sticklebacks and herrings so extremely successful in the Baltic while cod is not? What are the effects and functions of schooling for feeding and microscale-orientation? What is the behavior of fish in netcages and how much food is lost from the cages. The ATOLL mainly served as a test bed for the development and field testing of equipment such as developing ROVs that were to be used later in Antarctic expeditions, e.g. for in situ imaging of transparent organisms of krill size under the ice.

Guernica (band)

Guernica (ゲルニカ, stylized GUERNICA) was a Japanese band formed in 1981. The trio consisted of vocalist Togawa Jun, composer and violinist Koji Ueno, and lyricist and art director Keiichi Ohta. They are presumably named after the famous painting Guernica by Pablo Picasso. The band performed avant-garde pastiche of inter-war European music, sometimes substituting synthesizers for an orchestra. They borrowed futurist, communist, and fascist aesthetics to recall the European and Asian inter-war and wartime period.

Circular sector

A circular sector, also known as circle sector or disk sector or simply a sector (symbol: ⌔), is the portion of a disk (a closed region bounded by a circle) enclosed by two radii and an arc, with the smaller area being known as the minor sector and the larger being the major sector. In the diagram, $θ$ is the central angle, $$r$$ the radius of the circle, and $$L$$ is the arc length of the minor sector.

The angle formed by connecting the endpoints of the arc to any point on the circumference that is not in the sector is equal to half the central angle.

Types
A sector with the central angle of 180° is called a half-disk and is bounded by a diameter and a semicircle. Sectors with other central angles are sometimes given special names, such as quadrants (90°), sextants (60°), and octants (45°), which come from the sector being one 4th, 6th or 8th part of a full circle, respectively. The arc of a quadrant (a circular arc) can also be termed a quadrant.

Compass

Traditionally wind directions on the compass rose are given as one of the 8 octants (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) because that is more precise than merely giving one of the 4 quadrants, and the wind vane typically does not have enough accuracy to allow more precise indication.

The name of the instrument "octant" comes from the fact that it is based on 1/8th of the circle. Most commonly, octants are seen on the compass rose.

Area
The total area of a circle is $πr$. The area of the sector can be obtained by multiplying the circle's area by the ratio of the angle θ (expressed in radians) and $2π$ (because the area of the sector is directly proportional to its angle, and $2π$ is the angle for the whole circle, in radians): $$A = \pi r^2\, \frac{\theta}{2 \pi} = \frac{r^2 \theta}{2}$$

The area of a sector in terms of L can be obtained by multiplying the total area $\pi$r by the ratio of L to the total perimeter 2πr. $$A = \pi r^2\, \frac{L}{2\pi r} = \frac{rL}{2}$$

Another approach is to consider this area as the result of the following integral: $$A = \int_0^\theta\int_0^r dS = \int_0^\theta\int_0^r \tilde{r}\, d\tilde{r}\, d\tilde{\theta} = \int_0^\theta \frac 1 2 r^2\, d\tilde{\theta} = \frac{r^2 \theta}{2}$$

Converting the central angle into degrees gives $$A = \pi r^2 \frac{\theta^\circ}{360^\circ}$$

Perimeter
The length of the perimeter of a sector is the sum of the arc length and the two radii: $$P = L + 2r = \theta r + 2r = r (\theta + 2)$$ where $θ$ is in radians.

Arc length
The formula for the length of an arc is: $$ L = r \theta $$ where $L$ represents the arc length, r represents the radius of the circle and θ represents the angle in radians made by the arc at the centre of the circle.

If the value of angle is given in degrees, then we can also use the following formula by: $$L = 2 \pi r \frac{\theta}{360}$$

Chord length
The length of a chord formed with the extremal points of the arc is given by $$C = 2R\sin\frac{\theta}{2}$$ where $C$ represents the chord length, $R$ represents the radius of the circle, and $θ$ represents the angular width of the sector in radians.

Mercury Mail Transport System

Mercury Mail Transport System (Mercury MTS) is a standards-compliant mail server developed by David Harris, who also develops the Pegasus Mail client.

It was freeware prior to January 2007, but is now donationware for non-commercial and personal use, and shareware for other uses.

Versions
There are two versions of Mercury with similar functionality. The original version, no longer under development, is a set of NetWare Loadable Modules (NLMs) which runs on all versions of the Novell NetWare network operating system (NOS) from 3.x to 6.x (current ). It worked in conjunction with MS-DOS workstations running Pegasus Mail.

Mercury/32 is a Win32 application running on all versions of Microsoft Windows from Windows 98 and Windows NT4 to the latest Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 (Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 are recommended).

Either version can act as a mail server for a LAN; both have additional support for some NetWare LAN features. Mercury is a fully independent mail server and can provide email services to all standards-compliant email clients, such as Eudora or Microsoft Outlook. Both versions of Mercury are highly modular, allowing support for different sets of Internet protocols to be installed as required. Mercury can also be installed tightly integrated with Pegasus Mail. The combination of Pegasus/Mercury is similar to the mail aspects of Microsoft Outlook/Microsoft Exchange Server. Mercury was originally developed to handle mail, both internal and external, on Netware servers in either bindery or NDS mode; Mercury ran on the system server, and integrated with Pegasus mail running on MS-DOS or Windows workstations.

Features
Mercury is extremely standards-compliant, supporting all major Internet mail-related protocols including SMTP (for both sending and receiving mail), POP3 and IMAP. The Win32 version also supports a dialup connection. Both versions have many features, with especially powerful support for managed mailing lists. Mercury is intended to be largely unobtrusive and needs little ongoing maintenance.

The installation process is a simple task, taking less than a minute. At this point, the user must indicate the domain parameter to be used. The user list is manually administered. There is no limit in numbers of users declared. A single directory holds users storage locations, so to do a backup just copy the "mail" directory and it will copy all users' data.

Also, a standard anti-virus could be used. After a mail is received, two files are created. When these files are finally written to disk, a simple antivirus engine could scan it. There is CLAMAV antivirus engine supplied, to be used as desired.

The software has an enormous variety of configurations. Using proper care, the server could be very secure. The relay control is very effective, and the ability to filter mails based in many rules, making it very efficient. Could use blacklist/whitelist technology. There are included tools to reduce spam effects.

Protocols supported

 * SMTP (server, relay-based client and full end-to-end delivery client)
 * POP3 (server and distributing client)
 * IMAP4rev1 (with multiple simultaneous access to the same mailbox)
 * PH (server, for directory lookups)
 * Finger (server, for directory lookups)
 * PopPass (server, for remote password changing)
 * HTTP (server, for web-based mailing list management)
 * SSL (Secure sockets layer) on SMTP, POP3 and IMAP servers
 * Mercury/32 4.73 can run as a MS Windows service

Extensions
Mercury/32, while not open source software, can be extended by anyone as the development documentation is free and publicly available at the pmail community. Below are some well known extensions, some bundled with Mercury/32.
 * GrayWall, a graylisting interface from Lukas Gebauer
 * SpamHalter, Bayesian spam filtering from Lukas Gebauer
 * ClamWall virus filter interface from Lukas Gebauer

Development status
Development on the version for Netware had basically stopped after the release of version 1.48 on 26 May 2000, and replacement by the Windows version was recommended. (A security patch, bringing the Mercury NLM version to 1.49, was released in August 2007.)

On 19 June 2009 David Harris announced on the Pegasus Mail site that all development of Pegasus Mail and the associated Mercury program could only continue if sufficient users would commit to donating US$50 annually; on 21 July 2009 he said that there had been a good start.

New versions of both programs have been released since. Developer David Harris said in April 2017 that both Pegasus Mail and the Mercury transport system were under active and major further development. In July 2019 he announced that the "Mercury v5 is very near to going into beta". On 25 December 2019 he said that, while there has been a delay due to health issues, he "can only promise you that there is progress, and that [he is] totally committed to getting these new versions released" and he is working, among others, on support for OAuth2 and OpenSSL v 1.1.1 and he expects "to have builds of Mercury v5 available to testers and interested users in the first three months of the New Year".

XAMPP
The XAMPP is an initiative by Apache Friends to develop a cross-platform web server solution pack with the main core components of the Apache HTTP Server, MariaDB or MySQL database and the PHP and perl interpreters, intended to be a cross platform equivalent of the LAMP stack used on Linux. While mail systems are natively distributed with the Linux operating system this was not the case for the Microsoft Windows platform and Apache Friends selected Mercury MTS for this component. There are no specific documents provided by Apache Friends for installation or configuration of XAMPP or its components with the concept of providing information via FAQs and forums, however some third party descriptions of the configuration and use of the Mercury MTS component are available.

Suggestions
What is the mechanism of action of lysozymes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.23.193.89 (talk • contribs)

 * Perhaps you should read the article first: "This enzyme functions by attacking peptidoglycan by hydrolyzing the bond that connects N-acetylmuramic acid with carbon four of N-acetylglucosamine." These substances are part of the bacterial cell wall, and lysozyme therefore affects the integrity of the cell wall. JFW | T@lk  16:50, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

 * I am rather new to editing policies in wikipedia, but I don't think the discussion or talk page is an appropriate venue for asking questions. If you feel the mechanism of action is missing, start a new section on "mechanism" and complain that the explanation is not good enough--Chibibrain (talk) 06:34, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

opsonins
Somebody could define the term "opsonins"? good piece. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.199.52.106 (talk • contribs)

molecular data
How about a molecular mass, and isoeclectic point Jasoninkid 15:58, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Effect of lysozyme on pathogenicity
The connection expressed in the line "Most of the bacteria affected by lysozyme are not pathogenic. In some cases, lysozyme is a primary reason these organisms do not become pathogenic." is not clear. A brief explanation of how lysozyme prevents pathogenicity, or a link to the mechanism, would be usefull. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.10.158.247 (talk • contribs) 20:31, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Industrial use of lysozymes
We need a section that details lysozyme's use in industry and foods - it's a common preservative (E1105) in the grated cheese you can buy on the non-refrigerated aisle in the store. What do you guys think? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.223.101 (talk) 00:10, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Doubious statement
Removed from the article: Lysozyme is commonly referred to as the "body's own antibiotic" since it kills bacteria. ...as the opening sentence of the article. Seems misguided and false, unless, anyone can provide a rationale? 82.16.7.63 21:51, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

 * My recollection is that that such a statement was already known to be hopelessly simple-minded when I first read about lysozyme in the 1970s. Athel cb (talk) 16:35, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

I am no expert on lysozyme, but the statement about infant formula and bacterial disease seems inconsistant with physiologic processes. Maybe someone should look into finding a credible source or removing it all together. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.191.208.165 (talk) 01:40, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Fungi and yeast
The research showing that the enzyme affects not only bacteria but also yest and fungi has not been mentioned in the article. 173.52.153.51 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:20, 22 July 2009 (UTC).

T4 or other?
This article makes it completely ambiguous as to whether it is referring to T4 lysozyme, or one of its many other variants. To compound this problem, it cites a specific molecular weight and AA length without saying to which lysozyme it belongs. Not to mention there isn't anything in the lysozyme family with a MW of 14.4 kDa. Chicken lysozyme is 14.3 kDa and T4 is considerably more (around 18.7 kDa according to this paper). T4 lysozyme also isn't 129 residues, that's chicken lysozyme. So not only does this article fail to distinguish between the two main types of lysozyme, it also contains information which is incorrect for both types.--129.49.7.125 (talk) 16:09, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * And please don't respond on my talk page, you'll be sending a new message at random to any of the many users of stony brook's library proxy. It represents anywhere from dozens to hundreds of physical machines. --129.49.7.125 (talk) 16:16, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * SigmaAlrdich lists chicken lysozyme as anywhere from 14.6 kDa to 14.7 kDa, while oddly enough a bottle of chicken lysozyme purchased from Sigma lists it as 14.3, either way since this article seems to be talking about chicken lysozyme the 14.4 number is completely wrong.--129.49.7.125 (talk) 16:21, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * According to this article in J. Biochem it's 14.3 kDa. I'd go with a published paper over a chemical supplier.--129.49.7.125 (talk) 16:23, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Time to disambiguate?
This article is a mixture of information, some of it pertaining to T4, some of it to chicken lysozyme, and the rest to human lysozyme. Would it be worth splitting this into T4 Lysozyme, Chicken Lysozyme, Human Lysozyme, and making Lysozyme into a disambiguation page? This article seems to be relatively low traffic so this discussion seems likely to go unnoticed. Since it's considered within the scope of Wikiproject MCB I'll propose this change there. --129.49.7.125 (talk) 15:19, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Disagree Well, the policies and guidelines in wikipedia state that it is an encyclopedia to understand stuff and not a dictionary with word for word listing, the example given is acid and base form a single article calle acidity. The article just needs fixing (separate paragraphs (general,T4,chick, human) if you want). The concepts are linked so I strongly disagree with disambiguation. But the article is so short (general, T4, chick, human). btw. Unless you are running a gel its precise weight is not important. it is actually just information and not knowledge (in addition, the glycosylation make it weigh more so the precise number by calculation from sequence is useless) --Squidonius (talk) 21:11 + correction, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Which is exactly why I removed the assertion of a specific molar mass.--129.49.7.125 (talk) 17:05, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The only this I dislike on the article are
 * Most of the bacteria affected by lysozyme are not pathogenic... Because Most bacteria are commensal in westerners!
 * they developed penicillin, which Fleming had failed to do. that sentence is so odd I donno what it is about; yes, it took twenty years to develop penicillin but I though people at Merk did it. --Squidonius (talk) 00:18, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

PDB structure
Which pdb structure is the best representative of lysozyme? Is 133l just alphabetically the first in the list? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.78.64.102 (talk) 00:23, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * is a reasonably good structure (Res = 1.8 Å). There are higher resolution structures available (e.g., Res = 1.1 Å), but given the the figure does not display side chains and the figure itself is relatively low resolution (500 × 500 pixels), I don't think it would matter.  At the resolution of the figure shown in this article, all the lysozyme crystal structures would look virtually identical.  Cheers.  Boghog2 (talk) 16:03, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Coming soon will be a gallery of up to thirty structures added to each of these Gene Wiki articles including this lysozyme article. Boghog2 (talk) 06:30, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

generic stuff human protein
all articles human proteins should include net charge, mol weight, +- carbohydrate, etc cinnamoncolbert —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.220.64.105 (talk) 14:25, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

RCSB PDB protein database structures
The infobox is taking too much space compared to the text. It seems pedantic to enumerate every PDB structure for lysozymes. It may be better to just include the most important ones, that is, most relevant for human or mammal biochemistry. The reader, if interested, may then navigate to a complete list of RCSB PDB structures, contained in its own article, if this type of list making is tolerated on wikipedia.--Chibibrain (talk) 06:45, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

More detailed therapy
The article seems to be in lack of some specific examples or application in therapy of Lysome--Gbzwg (talk) 05:05, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Significance of lysozyme
It will be helpful if some facts about significance of lysozyme is added.--Gbzwg (talk) 05:07, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Comments
What is the history of the mechanism? What is the evidence supporting one mechanism over another?--Jsolomon580 (talk) 03:12, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

possible plagiarism detected
Hey, I noticed that the first line of this article is "These are enzymes that damage bacterial cell walls by catalyzing hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in a peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrins."

And found this in this Cell biochemistry and Biophysics Paper https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs12013-012-9485-4

"Lysozyme is a family of enzymes which damage bacterial cell walls by catalyzing hydrolysis of 1,4-b-linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in a peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl-Dglucosamine residues in chitodextrins."

Serious (TV series)

Serious, Serious Explorers in later series, is an observational documentary series made by the BBC and broadcast as part of their children's programming. It encompasses Serious Jungle (2002), Serious Desert (2003), Serious Arctic (2005), Serious Amazon (2006), Serious Andes (2007), Serious Ocean (2008) and two series of Serious Explorers (2011).

Serious Ocean consisted of ten 30-minute episodes, while each previous series was six 30-minute episodes. In each series a group of eight 12- to 15-year-olds embark on an expedition to an extreme part of the world, in order to help wildlife or assist in environmental projects. The programmes have won numerous awards, among them honours from BAFTA and the Royal Television Society.

Serious Jungle (2002)
Serious Jungle was aired around Christmas 2002 and New Year 2003. Chosen from 1,000 applicants, eight adventurers faced a mission to build a feeding platform in the heart of the Borneo jungle, to help return orangutans to the wild (many of them rescued after being illegally kept as pets). They were in the rainforest for three weeks, with the series being filmed in August 2002. The Serious Jungle eight were accompanied by expedition leaders Bruce Parry and Emma Jay.

Larry gave an interview in 2007, giving advice to those about to apply for Serious Ocean, as well as some advice for successful applicants.

Serious Desert (2003)
Serious Desert aired from 20 to 31 October 2003. After 6,500 applications, eight adventurers were chosen to travel to Namibia and try and save the endangered black rhinoceros. They sleep under tarpaulin in the dunes and see black rhinos, but also wildebeest, zebra, springbok, giraffes, jackals, snakes, scorpions and elephants. Filming from 13 April to 5 May 2003, they build a new camel enclosure and finally make an epic fifty mile trek across the Namibian sand dunes to the Skeleton Coast. Returning from the previous series, Bruce Parry and Emma Jay were the expedition leaders who led the team.

Along with Larry from the previous series, Promise was interviewed in 2007, giving her opinion on what it was like to have the cameras following her around on the expedition.

Serious Arctic (2005)
Serious Arctic aired from 5 February to 6 March 2005. Chosen from 9,000 applicants, eight adventurers flew to Baffin Island, Canada, where they made an attempt to track polar bears across the pack ice, riding on husky sleds, with the season being filmed from 4 to 24 April 2004. Blizzards made the trip a hazard, and they spent most of one week in their tents. Serious Arctic was also the most successful Serious series picking up five awards. The expedition leaders for this trip were Ben Major and Emma Jay.

Serious Amazon (2006)
Serious Amazon aired from 25 February to 26 March 2006, and had a then-record of 29,000 12- to 15-year-olds auditioning for a part. The chosen team of eight left for Peru on 9 July 2005, with a mission to help rare uakari monkeys and pink river dolphins caught in illegal fishing nets in the Amazon River. The team of eight removed the illegal fishing nets to leave the dolphins safe, and also built habitats for the bald uakari. The season finished filming on 29 July. The Serious Amazon eight were accompanied by expedition leaders Ben Major and Polly Murray.

Serious Andes (2007)
Serious Andes aired from 4 June to 20 August 2007 and followed eight adventurers who, after being chosen from a then-record 36,000 12-to-15-year-olds, travelled to Ecuador to build an enclosure for spectacled bears. They also set out to climb the Cotopaxi volcano, the youngest team ever to have done so. Only four of the adventurers (Erin, Kylie, Will and Caitlin) were able to conquer the volcano, as the other four adventurers (Sarah, Liam, Matt and Joshua) were unable to do so, with some succumbing to early symptoms of acute mountain sickness. The season was filmed between 12 July and 3 August 2006. The Serious Andes eight were again accompanied by leaders Ben Major and Polly Murray. There was also a special episode that featured behind the scenes moments in the making of Serious Andes, called Serious Andes: Extra.

Serious Ocean (2008)
Serious Ocean was filmed in November and December 2007 featuring eight adventurers travelling to the isolated coast of Chile, living on a boat, assisting research into penguins, dolphins and albatrosses before moving on to assist in the survey of Glacier Chloe, the most southerly glacier outside Antarctica. The highlight of the trip, however, was when they sailed around Cape Horn, becoming one of the youngest teams ever to do so. The Serious Ocean eight were once again accompanied by expedition leaders Ben Major and Polly Murray. The series was first aired in July 2008.

A book of the series was released during December 2007, entitled Serious Survival: How to Poo in the Arctic and Other Essential Tips, owing to the success of its broadcasting history. Written by the Series Producer Marshall Corwin, Serious Survival was shortlisted for the prestigious Royal Society Junior Science Books Prize.

Serious Explorers: Livingstone (2009–2011)
Initially, the next Serious series was to be filmed in China, and would have followed the journey of 13th-century explorer, Marco Polo, including joining a camel train in the Taklamakan Desert, climbing mountains, and spending time with local tribes. However, after travelling to the region, due to political unrest Serious Explorers was postponed and the team returned to the UK. The series was later rescheduled to film in Tanzania in Africa at the end of 2009, where the team would follow in the foot steps of explorer David Livingstone.

Applications were accepted through January 2009. Around 900 of the applicants, from over 14,000, had a phone interview before 120 were selected to go to London, Bristol or Manchester for a day of auditions. 16 were selected to go to Wales for a selection weekend until it was cut down to the final 8. However, another contestant was removed for having to undergo an emergency tonsil operation, narrowing down the field to seven. Eventually, seven contestants aged 12–15 (four boys and three girls) were selected to take part in the show. The expedition took place in late 2009, with the intention of broadcasting the series in early 2010.

However, during filming, expedition guide Anton Turner died when he was mauled by an elephant on 30 October 2009, and production was reported to have ceased. Despite this, the series began broadcasting as Serious Explorers: Livingstone in February 2011. During the expedition three of the most promising of the seven explorers were chosen to cross the Mbarika mountain range, while the remaining four stayed behind to build an enclosure to fend off lions in a village; in the final episode, having come close to their target, the death of Anton was reported, who had gone out in advance of the day's trek over Mbarika to ensure the walk would be safe. Expedition leader Ben immediately called a halt to the Mbarika trek, and the series ended. Anton was posthumously awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal in 2012.

Serious Explorers: Raleigh (2011)
In late 2010, CBBC began to look for participants for a new Serious Explorers for production in early 2011 which followed the explorers led by Walter Raleigh sailing from Trinidad and Tobago to Guyana. The applications were cut down from around 12,000 to 300, who were given phone auditions in late October. The next stage was a Skype audition which took place in early November. 105 people were picked to go to an audition in Manchester or London on 23 November 2010 (Manchester) and 25 November 2010 (London). 16 children were picked for a final auditions weekend in December, where the final eight were chosen. The final eight started their journey on 31 January 2011.

The series began broadcasting in September 2011 and finished broadcasting in late November 2011. There were 10 episodes and 1 special episode called Serious Survival which was aired on 7 December 2011.

Awards
The Serious show has had a remarkable record for winning awards, with each of the first seven series gaining honours and total awards into double figures. The show has won four British Academy Children's Awards in the Factual category: for Serious Desert in the 2004 nominations, for Serious Arctic in the 2005 nominations, for Serious Andes in 2008 and for Serious Ocean in 2010. Serious Amazon was also nominated in 2006 for the same category. The Royal Television Society has also given the series three awards; Best Children's Programme in 2002 for Serious Jungle, 2005 for Serious Arctic and 2007 for Serious Andes.

In addition, the Serious Arctic series won a 2006 Prix Jeunesse International (Children's Jury Prize), along with a Broadcast Award and a Bulldog Award.

Serious Ocean won the Maritime Media Award 2008, beating off competition from adult series such as the BBC's Trawlermen and Channel 5's Warship.

International broadcast
So far only Serious Amazon, Serious Ocean and Serious Andes have been aired in Australia, on ABC1 and ABC3. The series has also been shown on Discovery Kids and The Hub, where five complete seasons have been shown. Slovenian television Kanal A has bought the rights to air Serious Amazon. The show airs Saturdays at 2:10 pm, under the title Vse o Amazonki (All About the Amazon).

The Italian television network RAI in early 2009 aired Serious Jungle, Serious Desert, Serious Arctic, Serious Amazon, and Serious Andes.

I request this be moved to User:The Brain of Morbius/Template test to use a real slash instead of the Microsoft abomination. Were this in the main or Wikipedia namespace, I'd do it straight away, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to move articles in other people's userspaces. — J I P | Talk 11:49, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
