Turkish copula

The Turkish copula is one of the more distinct features of Turkish grammar. In Turkish, copulas are called ek-eylem or ek-fiil  ('suffix-verb'). Turkish is a highly agglutinative language and copulas are rendered as suffixes, albeit with a few exceptions.

Zero copula
Zero copula is the rule for third person, as in Hungarian and Russian. That means two nouns, or a noun and an adjective can be juxtaposed to make a sentence without using any copula. Third-person plural might be indicated with the use of plural suffix -lar/-ler.

 * {| border="0" cellspacing="6" cellpadding="3"

 * Example:
 * Translation: (with copula)
 * Literality: (Zero copula)
 * Hakan yolcu.
 * Hakan is a traveller.
 * Hakan Traveler.
 * Deniz mavi.
 * The sea is blue.
 * Sea Blue.
 * Kapılar ve camlar açık.
 * The doors and windows are open.
 * Doors and Glasses (Windows) Open.
 * Asansör bozuk.
 * The elevator is broken.
 * Elevator Broken.
 * İşçiler üzgün.
 * The workers are sad.
 * Workers Sad.
 * }
 * İşçiler üzgün.
 * The workers are sad.
 * Workers Sad.
 * }
 * }

To be (olmak versus imek)
Turkish "to be" as regular/auxiliary verb (olmak) and "to be" as copula (imek) contrasts.

The auxiliary verb imek (i- is the root) shows its existence only through suffixes to predicates that can be nouns, adjectives or arguably conjugated verb stems, arguably being the only irregular verb in Turkish.

The missing forms of i- are supplied by ol-: the infinitive olmak is an example, since there is no infinitive *imek. An infinitive ermek appeared in ancient texts; its stem er- became the current i-.

The word idir, a variation of imek indicates alethic modality, so is used for emphasis, or to prevent ambiguity. İdir is an enclitic word, and exhibits vowel harmony when used as a suffix. Therefore Ali asker idir turns into Ali askerdir. In examples, emphasised word is written bold:

 * {| border="0" cellspacing="6" cellpadding="3"

 * align=left | || align=right |
 * Abbas yolcudur.
 * Abbas is a traveller.
 * Deniz mavidir.
 * The sea is blue.
 * Kapılar ve camlar açıktır.
 * The doors and windows are open.
 * Asansör bozuktur.
 * The lift is broken.
 * İşçiler üzgündür.
 * The workers are sad.
 * }
 * The lift is broken.
 * İşçiler üzgündür.
 * The workers are sad.
 * }
 * }

Negative copula
Negation is indicated by the negative copula değil. Değil is never used as a suffix, but it takes suffixes according to context.

 * {| border="0" cellspacing="6" cellpadding="3"

 * align=left | || align=right |
 * Abbas yolcu değil.
 * Abbas is not a traveller.
 * Kapılar ve camlar açık değildir.
 * The doors and windows are not open.
 * Öğretmen değilim.
 * I am not a/the teacher.
 * Mutlu değilmişiz
 * (Apparently) we were not happy.
 * }
 * Mutlu değilmişiz
 * (Apparently) we were not happy.
 * }
 * }

Personal copulas
A complete sentence is formed by the addition of a suffix to a noun or adjective as an instance of nonverbal person agreement, with the conjugate verb "imek" only implied. These suffixes are, in origin, personal pronouns and indicate grammatical person.

Öğretmen-i-m

teacher-COP-2PL

You [plural/formal] are (a/the) teacher(s)

Öğretmen-ler

teacher-PL

Past copulas

American University Washington College of Law

The American University Washington College of Law (AUWCL or WCL) is the law school of American University, a private research university in Washington, D.C. It is located on the western side of Tenley Circle in the Tenleytown section of northwest Washington, D.C. The school is accredited by the American Bar Association and a member of the AALS.

Begun in 1896, WCL was the first law school founded by women, the first with a female dean, and the first to graduate an all-female class. Roger Fairfax was appointed as the school's dean in 2021.

Early beginnings
Ellen Spencer Mussey and Emma Gillett began teaching in Mussey's law offices in 1898 after they were approached by three women who wished to study with them. Not originally intending to create a full-fledged law school, they requested the law school of Columbian College to accept the six women for their final year. When Columbian refused the request on the ground that "women did not have the mentality for law," the two women became determined to complete the students' education themselves and found a co-educational law school that was specifically open to women. Although Gillett was a graduate of Howard University School of Law, Washington College of Law only accepted white applicants.

With its first graduating class, the Washington College of Law became the first law school founded by women, the first with a female dean, and the first law school to graduate an all-female class. Mussey's male law clerk enrolled in 1897, making the school officially coeducational.

Continuing growth
Washington D.C. incorporated WCL in 1898. After several temporary locations, the school moved to the Le Droit Building on 8th & F Streets in 1900. Enrollment rose to 55 students by 1908 and doubled in five years to 128 students. Dean Mussey secured a lease in 1909 in the Chesley Building on New York Ave until the school outgrew the six-classroom lease. The school moved to its first permanent home in 1920, the former residence of Robert G. Ingersoll on K Street. Continually growing, WCL moved in 1924 to the former home of Oscar Underwood and former residence of Archibald Butt. WCL merged with American University in 1949 and graduated its first African American student in 1953.

The Women & the Law Program was launched in 1948, to promote the integration of women's rights and gender studies into legal education, practice and doctrine.

After years of work by Dean Myers, the John Sherman Myers Law School building was constructed on the American University main campus and dedicated in 1963 by Chief Justice Earl Warren. In the same year, U.S. Senator Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) graduated from WCL after ten years of night-study classes, the first time a sitting member of Congress had begun and completed a law degree while serving.

By 1988, WCL had grown to over 1,000 students. Dean Milstein pushed for a new building, and in 1996 WCL moved less than a mile to The John Sherman Myers and Alvina Reckman Myers Law Center on Massachusetts Avenue in the American University Park section of Northwest Washington, D.C. The building was two and a half times larger than the previous Myers building and included the new Pence Law Library.

Move to Tenley Campus
In April 2012, the D.C. Zoning Commission approved the plans for American University Washington College of Law to relocate from Spring Valley to American University's Tenley Campus. The approval of plans for further processing and zoning variances for the law school was handed down after American University's full campus plan was approved in March. Construction began in the summer of 2013, with the relocation of the law school to the new campus completed in early 2016. Spring 2016 semester classes began at the new campus on January 11, 2016.

Campus and facilities
The Washington College of Law is located on American University's Tenley Campus at 4300 Nebraska Avenue NW. on the northwest edge of Washington, DC, approximately 1 mile from the Maryland state line. Construction on the Tenley Campus was completed in early 2016 and included three primary buildings:

 * Capital Hall - Historically preserved and renovated, this building includes administrative offices, student publications, four courtrooms, two classrooms, and an atrium.
 * Warren Building - Brand new construction, housing the Pence Law Library on two and a half floors, nine classrooms, the ceremonial courtroom, an active learning lab, and a roof deck.
 * Yuma Building - Brand new construction, housing 13 classrooms, faculty offices, clinical and international programs, dining, and Claudio Grossman Hall, which seats 500.

The law school campus is less than a mile from the main American University campus; however, a shuttle system is available for students and staff to travel between the two locations. The campus is accessible to students and faculty 24/7 with the use of an AU ID card.

Pence Law Library
The Pence Law Library is 54000 sqft, with more than 600,000 volumes, access to multiple databases, 14 group-study rooms and seating for over 600. The library is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week to students and faculty with the use of an AU ID card.

The library collection includes European Community and US government depositories and the Baxter Collection in International Law. Students and faculty also have access to the university's library, the Library of Congress, specialized agency libraries, and other area law libraries electronically.

The National Jurist placed WCL's Library 41st out of 199 in its Best Law Libraries ranking.

Academics
WCL's Master of Laws (LL.M.) program ranked 13th nationally in the 2012 AUAP rankings. The Brian Leiter Law School rankings placed the WCL 47th in the 2012 Top 70 Law Faculties in Scholarly Impact. National Jurist ranked WCL the fifth best law school for Hispanic students in 2008. It ranked WCL the 4th best public interest law school in the nation.

WCL is ranked tied for 89th in the nation among the 197 ranked schools in the Best Law Schools by U.S. News & World Report, and has ranked specialty programs in Clinical Training (tied #1), Trial Advocacy (tied #15), Part-Time Law (tied #16), International Law (tied #5), Intellectual Property (tied #7), and Health Care Law (tied #20), as well as program rankings in Legal Writing (tied #104), Business/Corporate (tied #60), Contracts/Commercial Law (tied #64), and Dispute Resolution (tied #64).

The school maintains programs in both human rights and public interest law. WCL's Equal Justice Foundation (EJF) provides scholarships to students who obtain unpaid summer internships with public interest organizations.

Enrollment
In 2021, the school had an acceptance rate of 37.94%. The 75th, 50th and 25th percentile undergraduate GPAs were 3.71, 3.57 and 3.39 respectively, while LSAT percentiles were 163, 161 and 157 respectively.

There was 36% minority representation and 64% female representation in the 2021 entering class, with representation from 42 states and 28 countries.

Degrees offered
WCL offers the Juris Doctor (J.D.), Master of Laws (LL.M.) in either international or constitutional law, and Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.) degrees. The Washington College of Law now offers an online Master of Legal Studies degree.

Additionally, students can enroll in one of several dual degree programs: • J.D./M.A. program with the School of International Service

• J.D./M.B.A. and LL.M/M.B.A. programs with the Kogod School of Business

WCL's clinical program is one of the most comprehensive in the nation. The school was one of the first law schools to develop a modern clinical legal education program. With over 200 students participating in the 11 clinics every year, the program is one of the largest in the country.

The clinic serves various clients, including immigrants and refugees, victims/survivors of domestic violence, juveniles, criminal defendants, low-income taxpayers, individuals seeking help with family law, consumer, disability, and intellectual property issues, community groups, and nonprofit organizations.

Clinics include the General Practice Clinic, Community and Economic Development Law Clinic, Criminal Justice Clinic, DC Law Students in Court Clinic, Disability Rights Law Clinic, Domestic Violence Law Clinic, Janet R. Spragens Federal Tax Clinic, Glushko-Samuelson Intellectual Property Law Clinic, Immigrant Justice Clinic, International Human Rights Law Clinic, and Women and the Law Clinic.

Asharh

Asharh (আষাঢ় āshāḍh, ଆଷାଢ଼ āsāḍha) is the third month of the Bengali and Odia calendars and the Tirhuta Panchang (a Hindu calendar followed by the Maithil community in India and Nepal). It is the first of the two months that comprise the wet season, locally known as "Barsha" (বর্ষা Bôrsha, वर्षा Barsha, ବର୍ଷା Barsā), when the monsoon winds blow. It is one of the first five months of the year that have 31 days, according to the Bangladeshi version of the Bengali Calendar. In the Indian version of the Bengali Calendar, the month can have up to 32 days.

Etymology
It is named for the constellation Uttarashadha (উত্তরাষাঢ়া Uttôrashaŗha), identified with Sagittarius.

Bengali culture
The month and the monsoon are welcome with songs, dance, and celebration in Bangladesh. A popular poem "Abar Eshechhey Asharh" আবার এসেছে আষাঢ় by Rabindranath Tagore, that is about this season.

Odia culture
There are occurrences of an extra Asadha which is referred as ମଳ ମାସ maḷa māsa (meaning unclean) in Odia whereas the non-extra Asadha is referred to as ଶୁଦ୍ଧ suddha.

Ghee Hin Kongsi

The Ghee Hin Kongsi was a secret society in Singapore and Malaya, formed in 1820. Ghee Hin literally means "the rise of righteousness" in Chinese and was part of the Hongmen overseas network. The Ghee Hin often fought against the Hakka-dominated Hai San secret society.

Ghee Hin was initially dominated by Cantonese people, although Hokkien people formed the majority by 1860. Teochew, Hainanese, and Hakka people formed smaller minorities. One of the major leaders of Ghee Hin was Chin Ah Yam, a Hakka peasant from rural Dabu County, Guangdong. The secret society, of Hongmen origin, was set up to provide mutual aid and support for Chinese migrants, with the common aim of overthrowing the Qing dynasty and restoring the Ming. Their main lodge in Singapore was located on Lavender Street, and contained the ancestral tablets of important ex-members, before being donated to the Tan Tock Seng Hospital when it was torn down in 1892, following the "Suppression of Secret Societies Ordinance".

The Ghee Hin were notorious for committing mass killings of such targets as the Catholic Hakka ethnic group in 1850 (with approximately 500 casualties), and post office workers in 1876, due to their opposition to a new, more expensive monopoly on postage and remittances. The colonial government began to move towards surveillance, control, and finally suppression of Ghee Hin from the 1890s onwards. The Teochew people who belonged to the Ghee Hin secret society were massacred by the hundreds, if not thousands.

I have a work offer if you're interested
Hi, I'm JD3rulo. The thing is that I'm a huge fan of Jessie J, I have made changes in her page, but other users have removed them, replying that the links I referred to don't belong to reliable sources. So I'm wondering if you could dedicate part of your time in helping me to fill some topics that are abandoned, such as Jessie J's vocal type, range and also writing updated news about her career lately. I hope you can help me, cause it seems Jessie's page has been forgotten. If you need some help to write about any article or making research, you can count on me, so this is the only thing I can give you: my friendship to make wikipedia a better and updated site.

Chicago Articles
Hi, As I stated before, I recently started WikiProject Chicago to try and improve some of the Chicago articles. Please feel free to join, as membership is, ummm low. As for specific articles, I am keeping a running list on the projects homepage. Personally, my number-one priority is to bring Chicago up to featured article status, so that is where my work is going to be directed in the near future, but the sub articles (ie. I think Parks of Chicago is on the list) need some work too and there is a whole list of Chicago stubs. If you are interested in working with me on this project, please join and contribute as you see fit.

--Gpyoung 9 July 2005 05:38 (UTC) P.S. Cudos on the picture, I was looking for a good one on Google, but honestly yours was the only one that I really liked enough to put on my page-lol.

 * Yeah, I don't like the picture on the top either, anything that you can do to replace it with something better would be great. I was actually thinking of moving your picture up to the top, but if you think you can get a better one that would work with me. One of the smalled articles that I am working on now is the Adler Planetarium, as I think a Chicago landmark and tourist attraction deserves to be more then just a stub, and I am unable to find a good picture of it with the new editions. I know that the Adler is a little far from "Downtown" so I would understand if you couldnt get it, but if you could it would be much appreciated. Also, a good picture of the Millenium Park and Grant Park would probably help the Parks of Chicago article that another member of the project has been asking for. Beyond that, I cant think of any that are really needed as of now, but any good pictures would be a good adition to the main Chicago page.

Are you going to work on a specific part of the Chicago article now? One of the advantages of the WikiProject in my mind is that we can divide up the work so people can really focus on one aspect of the city and organize the improvment work that is going on.

Thanks for putting the test messages on vandals' userpages when you revert them. A lot of RC patrollers don't, but it makes it so much easier to keep track of what the vandals are up to. Joyous (talk) July 9, 2005 16:24 (UTC)

Chicago Member Template
Just to let you know, I have created a member tag for the Chicago WikiProject to put on your user page to try and attract new members like you suggested. Feel free to edit it, I pretty much the same wording as the tag. The tag for it is {{ChicagoWikiProject-Member} --Gpyoung 9 July 2005 17:33 (UTC)

Homosexual
Yes. See Homosexuality's talk page. See Homosexuality in animals, ie the sheep study. See Sexual Behavior in the Human Male. If you need more please ask. 67.41.236.211 00:05, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Sheep: Homosexuality in male sheep (found in 6–10% of rams) is associated with variations in cerebral mass distribution and chemical activity. A study reported in endocrinology concluded that biological factors are in play; this study replicated similar findings in humans. It shows that approximately 10% of males are homosexual and that the brains of homosexual males are different.

Kinsey Reports: Paul Gebhard, Kinsey's successor as director of the Kinsey Institute for Sex Research, spent years "cleaning" the Kinsey data of its purported contaminants, removing, for example, all material derived from prison populations in the basic sample. In 1979, Gebhard (with Alan B. Johnson) published The Kinsey Data: Marginal Tabulations of the 1938-1963 Interviews Conducted by the Institute for Sex Research. Their conclusion, to Gebhard's surprise he claimed, was that none of Kinsey's original estimates were significantly affected by this bias.

Professor Martin Duberman writes:

 * Instead of Kinsey's 37 percent, Gebhard and Johnson came up with 36.4 percent; the 10 percent figure (with prison inmates excluded) came to 9.9 percent for white, college-educated males and 12.7 percent for those with less education. And as for the call for a "random sample," a team of independent statisticians studying Kinsey's procedures had concluded as far back as 1953 that the unique problems inherent in sex research precluded the possibility of obtaining a true random sample, and that Kinsey's interviewing technique had been "extraordinarily skillful." They characterized Kinsey's work overall as "a monumental endeavor." [2] Globeism 01:54, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Chicago Invitations
Ive noticed that you have been sending people invitations on their talk pages for the project, good idea. I actually did the same thing yesterday with different people (mostly from Chicago and talk:Chicago) and I think its our best chance at recruiting new members. One of the new members you recruited, Kelly Martin, suggested that we make an invitation template, and since your invite was a tad more elegant then the one I used, I went ahead and turned it into one. It can be found at Template:ChicagoWikiProject-Invite. Feel free to change it as you see fit. Another question-where did you find the people you sent the invite to? I did not have much luck on Chicago and talk:Chicago, I only got one person and couldnt figure out where else to look-Advise. Thanks, 15:41, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Your unnecessary and illogical 3RR 'warning'.
Why did you post on my talk page a 3RR warning in reference to the Cold Fusion page? I have only reverted that page twice today, at 16:18, 11 July 2005 and 17:41, 11 July 2005. This is two edits short of breaking that rule, which is not violated by three reverts on a page in a single day. I also find it odd that you left this message on my talk page yet declined to do so for Brian0918, who also reverted that same page twice today (at 15:49, 11 July 2005 and 16:18, 11 July 2005). If your intentions were to avoid a revert war, I would have expected you to send such warnings symmetrically. I find your actions 'impolite and unproductive', to quote from the message you left for me. --Noren 21:14, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, I'd say you reverted three times; adding an extra edit in between your revert still makes it a revert. I wasn't reporting you or anything, just wanted to let you know that continued reverts could result in bannination. I noticed brian had made reverts also, but I saw this comment and from it I inferred that he was not going to revert it again. -- BMIComp  (talk) 21:41, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

Presidents of Argentina
I am just wondering, because your comment in Translation_into_English suggests you may have been confused: the request for translation in this case wasn't for the article itself, it was for "the little stubs on the Spanish wikipedia about the Argentinian presidents". Did you do those (in which case, just amend your comment to say so) or not (in which case, could you please restore the request?).

FWIW, here is the request as it stood:

 * Article: es:Lista de presidentes de Argentina
 * Corresponding English-language article: List of Presidents of Argentina
 * Worth doing because: I do not want the list translated, but my goal is to have decent traslations of the little stubs on the Spanish wikipedia about the Argentinian presidents. Most of the corresponding ES articles to the earlier Argentinian presidents are short and simple stub translations but I think the little blurbs being made into in English would be a great help.

Sandbox Work
Hi, Yeah-I have been working on re-organizing everything in the sandbox and I think Im gonna post it stright to Chicago after Im done, even though its still missing information, particularlly in the People and Culture section. One of the complaints I read about the origional article was that it had too many skyline images, mediocre ones at that, so I was trying to work in some more different pictures. For example, the one from millenium park was the only good picture I could find that showed actual people, so I thought it would be appropriate for the people section. Unless you feel that any of the pictures arnt your best work, I think they fit in nicly in the article. Thanks, --Gpyoung talk 23:05, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

P.S.-Feel free to add to the Sandbox if you want, as I said, it needs a lot of work. its at User:Gpyoung/ChicagoSandbox.

Are you going to work of writing something for the Great Chicago Fire? If you are then ill leave that section for you (it needs a lot of work). --Gpyoung talk 02:57, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks-I saw you additions to the fire section-its a good outline that covers the important info b/c the page is already 38kb. One of the issue brought up in the peer review was the Chicago template at the bottom of the page. I have tried editing it to make it much smaller as before it was just a category outline. Tell me what you think. Also, we need a section still on Utilities-the infrustructure sectoin is too small (w/ only health and medicine) and i think we had Utilities planned for it. Do you know if there is already a Utilities article of are we going to have to wrok from scratch.

Anyway, I reread what you replaced the entry with, and it looks like you meant to post that to your livejournal instead, so I removed the warning from your user page.

"Mr. Outis"
I have noticed that on plenty of biographical pages, the subject is slandered. In posting the available information on Mr. Outis I have done no more than others have in posting available speculative information on such other dangerous anti-Semites as Adolf Hitler and his ilk. I consider it necessary to give even rumors about such dangerous characters so the people can be well informed that in our society, fascism is still very much alive.

 * Please do not disrupt wikipedia to make a point or make personal attacks.  Thanks.  -- BMIComp  (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 08:55, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

While this may not have been the best idea, I must admit I cannot see the personal attack. Or the disruption, really, for that matter. — Knowledge Seeker দ 05:00, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure if you referring to the current version or the version before I removed the attack. I'm going to save myself a post and assume you meant the latter (although this is most likely not the case).

In it, it singled out a specific user and their voting policies in an article in the Wikipedia namespace. While this may not be the more extreme form of attack (using profanity and the like) I'd say it comes close to being just as bad. Specifically condeming the actions of a user (consistently voting in a certain way without justification), and then associating such actions with Grumpiness and eccentricity is an attack. There are recourses for disagreements with a user, but this was not such an effort. It was an attempt to make a point.

"In the past, many contributors have found their Wikistress levels rising, particularly when an issue important to them has been handled in a way they consider unfair. The contributor may point out inconsistencies, perhaps citing other cases that have been handled differently. And the contributor may postulate: "What if everyone did that?" - a common rhetorical technique. These devices may not persuade for the reasons cited above.

In this situation, it may be tempting to illustrate the point using either parody or some form of breaching experiment. For example, the contributor may apply the decision to other issues in a way that mirrors the policy the contributor objects to. These activities are generally disruptive: i.e., they require the vast majority of nonpartisan editors to clean up after the "proof". Many consider such "point-proving" acts to be vandalism."

This isn't the same exact situation as cited, but it is still an obvious disruption. The article has to be removed and debated... etc.

Sorry, if my tone comes off as hostile, as I am not upset. =) -- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 05:45, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I still do not see this as a personal attack, at least as the term is defined on Wikipedia in WP:NPA, for instance. In the edit you cited, Boothy is listed as voting contrary to the majority of users, often the sole dissenting vote. This is true, a simple statement of fact, and no comments about Boothy himself are made; rather, in a subsequent revision, making a WP:POINT is listed as one of the reasons, and Boothy's listing is moved there—and Boothy himself admitted that he was voting that way to make a point. I do fully agree that it was not a nice thing to do and was a bad idea, but I don't see commenting on a user's voting patterns to be a personal attack. The example you cited would be a disruption, but I think the edit you cited is quite different. A single edit can be reverted; it's not as if someone followed Boothy voting oppose to everything that he voted to support. And the article was not deleted. Again, I am not condoning the inclusion, I just don't think it's that useful to cite vaguely related rules when asking someone to change their behavior, and especially not if it's an isolated incident. A polite comment explaining why the item was removed is more effective I think than assigning malicious motivations like personal attacks and purposeful disruptions. And it's more likely to make sense to the person to whom you're directing the comment. Furthermore, in some cases, removal of the comment with an appropriate summary (e.g. "Removed mention of specific editor--this really doesn't belong here") might be enough for an otherwise good contributor. And finally, I wasn't really referring to any revisions per se; I was referring to your comment and the included diff. Thanks for your efforts in keeping Wikipedia a civil place; we both have the same goal in mind even if we may disagree on details in acheiving it. — Knowledge Seeker দ 01:24, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Oddly enough, while I was thinking yesterday I contemplated leaving a note updating you on my opinion on this matter. In hindsight I had realized that this was not a personal attack. I think I was just a bit gung ho in defending an editor who gets a lot of hostility (deserved or not) from other users. Anyway, I appreciate your response, even if it is a little belated. =) -- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 02:34, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * You know, now that I reread my response, it sounds a bit hostile too, which I assure you was not my intention. Anyway, I'm glad we agree that Wikipedia should be a friendly environment. In fact, I think I'm quite like you in that I tend to come to the defense of those I feel are being criticized unfairly—which is why we were having a discussion on what one user said about another! Anyway, congratulations on your recent election, and I'll see you around the Wiki! — Knowledge Seeker দ 05:07, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Spam?
"One man's spam is another man's delicious luncheon meat."

Thank you for contacting me.

I add external links from time to time on topics directly related to domains that I own so that those interested in developing them can contact me. In one sense this is commercial in that they can buy/lease the domain from me. In another sense, it is topic-related, since I may develop any or all of the domains into information resources on a specific topic. For Goshen.in, for instance, I have begun doing just this. For domains I am waiting to develop, I just leave them parked on Sedo.

I thought it would be a service to your readers to make them aware that these sites exist and they may do things with them if they contact me.

If these purposes fall outside of the rules for external links, please email me at andrewudstraw@yahoo.com and I will stop posting external links. As far as I could tell, however, from Wikipedia's policies pages, nothing prevents adding a few commercial links, so long as they are on-topic.

203.184.36.237 22:38, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

Please distinguish for me the difference between the Microsoft Wikipedia page and the company's link, which is about a commercial subject, and making topical links such as a link to mousepad.in on the Wikipedia page about mousepads?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft

Do I simply have to follow the format of the Microsoft page, listing who the owner is, inception date of the commercial enterprise, etc., in order for it to be acceptable?

I also would note that HP, Xerox, and a host of other companies are listed on Wikipedia, with links to their commercial sites. Does this mean it is ok for smaller companies to put links to their sites with explanations of what they offer, or does Wikipedia have different rules for large corporations versus smaller ones or for sole traders.

It would be good to clarify this.

203.184.36.237 22:35, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Note: this is in response to the e-mail I sent you (reguarding the previous comment): Hi. Selling of products via wikipedia is very widely seen as not acceptable.  Please see What should not be linked to...
 * There is a subtle difference, but there is a distinct one. The link to Microsoft's site was most likely not added by an employee of Microsoft.  Also, the link you added was added, by your own admission, in order to promote a product. If the Microsoft webpage linked to a part of the Mircosoft site which was only linked to in order to further sales of a product, like a page on their site that only sold Windows XP CDs, then this may be a questionable link.  I would recommend rereading the external links guideline.  If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. Thanks. -- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 22:49, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The purpose of the entire Microsoft website is to sell product. Anyone in business will tell you that.  You also have numerous pages and links on Wikipedia on various bits of commercial software like Excel:
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Excel
 * There is no subtle difference. Can you immediately buy software on Microsoft.com?
 * The answer is yes. And links to microsoft.com are littered all over Wikipedia.
 * I have put maybe 5 or 6 external links to topic-related pages. How is this any worse? I am detecting a serious logical inconsistency in Wikipedia's policy on external links and commercial purposes.  It seems the larger the company, the more lenient Wikipedia is.  And conversely, the smaller the commercial enterprise, the more strict and exclusive Wikipedia is. 203.184.36.237 23:13, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The sole intent of you placing your links on wikipedia is to sell a product. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and such links are not encyclopedic.  The link on the Microsoft Excel page is to a page about Mircosoft excel.  The intent of the link is to further inform the reader about Microsoft Excel, not to sell it to them.  They might be able to buy it from somewhere on Microsoft's site, but this is obviously not the intent of the link.  There are plenty of places on the internet where you can advertise the website, or you may want to contact the city directly and see if they are interesting in buying the domain.  However, Wikipedia is not the appropriate venue.  Thank you. -- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 23:23, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Is there a hierarchy of moderators on Wikipedia? I think the policy is wrong, and as applied is biased in favor of commercial sites of large companies and against individuals.  I would appreciate it if you would bring this conversation up to someone higher up at Wikipedia.  If you don't want to, I would be happy to if you let me know whom to contact.

 * Perhaps the solution is to have at the very bottom of an article a place for commercial links, and that would include ones like Microsoft's--or mine?

 * I could, following your logic, make a webpage about mousepads in India with the incidental ability to buy the domain from me on that page. This is exactly what Microsoft does on the Excel page external link you mentioned.  They provide the ability to buy the product on that external link.

 * Why not simply allow commercial links in an appropriate area, at the bottom? External links would have been ok for that, but maybe there needs to be something else specifically provided for so that people don't get all agitated.

 * And by the way, there is nothing inherent in the nature of an encyclopedia that prevents commercial entries being there in a discreet form. In fact, until the Internet and Wikipedia came along, most people did have to pay something to own a set, and some had ads at the back where you could mail-order books, etc.

 * I think it would be worth polling your readers on the front page for a month to see whether the users themselves would like to see a free commercial links section possible on articles.

 * Cheers,
 * andrewudstraw@yahoo.com
 * 203.184.36.237 23:50, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

 * There is not a heirarchy of "moderators". Everyone is considered an editor.  If you are serious about discussing your above proposal, I would suggest bringing it up at the village pump.  However, I can assure you that it will not be looked upon favorably.  The following is from the what Wikipedia is not article's section on advertising:

 * Advertising. Articles about companies and products are fine if they are written in an objective and unbiased style. Further all article topics must be third-party verifiable, so articles about very small "garage" companies are not likely to be acceptable. External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they can serve to identify major corporations associated with a topic (see finishing school for an example). Please note Wikipedia does not endorse any businesses and it does not set up affiliate programs.

 * Again, the excel article does not link to somewhere where you can immediately buy Excel. Could you provide a link to exactly which site you are referencing?  Thanks.  -- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 00:07, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Notes from a Small Island

Notes from a Small Island is a humorous travel book on Great Britain by American author Bill Bryson, first published in 1995.

Overview
Bryson wrote Notes from a Small Island when he decided to move back to his native United States, but wanted to take one final trip around Great Britain, which had been his home for over twenty years. Bryson covers all corners of the island, observing and talking to people from as far afield as Exeter in the West Country to John o' Groats at the north-eastern tip of Scotland's mainland. During this trip he insisted on using only public transport, but failed on two occasions: in Oxfordshire and on the journey to John o' Groats he had to rent a car. He also re-visits Virginia Water where he worked at the Holloway Sanatorium when he first came to Britain in 1973. (He met his future wife while employed at Holloway.)

On his way, Bryson provides historical information on the places he visits, and expresses amazement at the heritage in Britain, stating that there were 445,000 listed historical buildings, 12,000 medieval churches, 1500000 acre of common land, 120000 mi of footpaths and public rights-of-way, 600,000 known sites of archaeological interest and that in his Yorkshire village at that time, there were more 17th century buildings than in the whole of North America.

Bryson also pays homage to the humble self-effacing fortitude of British people under trying times, such as the world wars and Great Depression, as well as the various peculiarities of Britain and British English (such as not understanding, on his first arrival, what a counterpane was, and assuming it was something to do with a window. It is a British English word that means quilt.) Bryson also recalls first going into an English tobacconist's and hearing the man in front of him ask for "Twenty Number 6", and assuming that everything in Britain was ordered by number. (A popular brand at the time was Players No. 6, and in British English it is usual to ask for 'twenty' (cigarettes), meaning a packet of them.)

Reception
In an opinion poll organised for World Book Day in 2003, Notes from a Small Island was voted by BBC Radio 4 listeners as the book which best represented England.

The book was adapted for Carlton Television in 1998 and appeared as a six-part 30-minute documentary broadcast on ITV from 10 January to 14 February 1999. The book is also available in audio book format.

Heavily abridged, the book was read in five fifteen-minute episodes by Kerry Shale for BBC Radio 4. It has been repeated on BBC Radio 4 Extra several times.

Bryson praises the city of Durham in the book. He later became Chancellor of Durham University from 2005 to 2011.

The title of Briton Neil Humphreys' book Notes from an Even Smaller Island (written on his experiences in the former Crown Colony of Singapore) is a reference to Bryson's book, Humphreys stating in 2012, "When I read Bill Bryson's travel books, I was inspired to do something similar in Asia (some might say rip him off! Luckily, Bill Bryson doesn't say that!)".

Custodial sentence

A custodial sentence is a judicial sentence, imposing a punishment consisting of mandatory custody of the convict, either in prison or in some other closed therapeutic or educational institution, such as a reformatory, (maximum security) psychiatry or drug detoxification (especially cold turkey). As 'custodial' suggests, the sentence requires the suspension of an individual's liberty and the assumption of responsibility over the individual by another body or institution.

The Criminal Justice Act 2003 (England and Wales) states that '(2)The court must not pass a custodial sentence unless it is of the opinion that the offence, or the combination of the offence and one or more offences associated with it, was so serious that neither a fine alone nor a community sentence can be justified for the offence'. Some serious offences incur minimum custodial sentences, unless there are exceptional circumstances. Custodial sentences may also be used where there is a perceived threat to public safety.

Community sentences are non-custodial and include fines, various mandatory but 'open' therapy and courses, restriction orders and loss or suspension of civil rights.

Choitro

Choitro (চৈত্র) is the last month of the Bengali calendar. It falls from mid-March to mid-April and is the last month of Spring (বসন্ত Bôsôntô). The name of the month is derived from the star Chitra (চিত্রা Chitra).

Culture
Traditionally this month is famous for what is called the "Choitro Sale" (চৈত্র সেল) when all shopping prices fall discounted (sale) all throughout the month. It is traditionally done in order to sell away all remaining products by the end of year, so that the Haal Khata (হালখাতা), the new account book can be opened on the New Year's Day.

Choitro Sankranti is observed in the last day of the month and the last day of the Bengali Calendar. It is celebrated more in rural areas than in urban areas, where it has celebrated for hundreds of years. It is the day before Pohela Boishakh and it more popular than Pohela Boishakh in rural areas.

Observances

 * Choitro 12 - Independence Day (Bangladesh)
 * Chotiro 30 - Choitro Sankranti

Semantic dementia

In neurology, semantic dementia (SD), also known as semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA), is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by loss of semantic memory in both the verbal and non-verbal domains. However, the most common presenting symptoms are in the verbal domain (with loss of word meaning). Semantic dementia is a disorder of semantic memory that causes patients to lose the ability to match words or images to their meanings. However, it is fairly rare for patients with semantic dementia to develop category specific impairments, though there have been documented cases of it occurring. Typically, a more generalized semantic impairment results from dimmed semantic representations in the brain.

SD is one of the three canonical clinical syndromes associated with frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), with the other two being frontotemporal dementia and progressive nonfluent aphasia. SD is a clinically defined syndrome but is associated with predominantly temporal lobe atrophy (left greater than right) and hence is sometimes called temporal variant FTLD (tvFTLD). SD is one of the three variants of primary progressive aphasia (PPA), which results from neurodegenerative disorders such as FTLD or Alzheimer's disease. It is important to note the distinctions between Alzheimer's disease and semantic dementia with regard to types of memory affected. In general, Alzheimer's disease is referred to as a disorder affecting mainly episodic memory, defined as the memory related to specific, personal events distinct for each individual. Semantic dementia generally affects semantic memory, which refers to long-term memory that deals with common knowledge and facts.

SD was first described by Arnold Pick in 1904 and in modern times was characterized by Professor Elizabeth Warrington in 1975, but it was not given the name semantic dementia until 1989. The clinical and neuropsychological features, and their association with temporal lobe atrophy were described by Professor John Hodges and colleagues in 1992.

Presentation
The defining characteristic of SD is decreased performance on tasks that require semantic memory. This includes difficulty with naming pictures and objects, single word comprehension, categorizing, and knowing uses and features of objects. SD patients also have difficulty with spontaneous speech creation, using words such as "this" or "things" where more specific and meaningful words can be used. Syntax is spared, and SD patients have the ability to discern syntactic violations and comprehend sentences with minimal lexical demands. SD patients have selectively worse concrete word knowledge and association, but retain knowledge and understanding of abstract words. SD patients are able to retain knowledge of numbers and music, but have more difficulty with concrete concepts with visual associations. Impairments of processing of phonemic structure and prosodic predictability have also been observed.

Genetics
The majority of SD patients have ubiquitin-positive, TDP-43 positive, tau-negative inclusions, although other pathologies have been described more infrequently, namely tau-positive Pick's disease and Alzheimer's pathology. Of all the FTLD syndromes, SD is least likely to run in families and is usually sporadic.

Alzheimer's Disease and Semantic Dementia
Alzheimer's disease is related to semantic dementia, which both have similar symptoms. The main difference between the two being that Alzheimer's is categorized by atrophy to both sides of the brain while semantic dementia is categorized by loss of brain tissue in the front portion of the left temporal lobe. With Alzheimer's disease in particular, interactions with semantic memory produce different patterns in deficits between patients and categories over time which is caused by distorted representations in the brain. For example, in the initial onset of Alzheimer's disease, patients have mild difficulty with the artifacts category. As the disease progresses, the category specific semantic deficits progress as well, and patients see a more concrete deficit with natural categories. In other words, the deficit tends to be worse with living things as opposed to non-living things.

Diagnosis
SD patients generally have difficulty generating familiar words or recognizing familiar objects and faces. Clinical signs include fluent aphasia, anomia, impaired comprehension of word meaning, and associative visual agnosia (inability to match semantically related pictures or objects). As the disease progresses, behavioral and personality changes are often seen similar to those seen in frontotemporal dementia.

SD patients perform poorly on tests of semantic knowledge. Published tests include both verbal and non-verbal tasks, e.g., The Warrington Concrete and Abstract Word Synonym Test, and The Pyramids and Palm Trees task. Testing also reveals deficits in picture naming (e.g. "dog" for a picture of a hippopotamus) and decreased category fluency. The question "What is a Stapler?" has been used as a primary diagnostic technique for discerning how SD patients understand word meaning.

Speech of SD patients is marked by word-finding pauses, reduced frequency of content words, semantic paraphasias, circumlocutions, increased ratios of verbs to nouns, increased numbers of adverbs, and multiple repeats.

SD patients sometimes show symptoms of surface dyslexia, a relatively selective impairment in reading low-frequency words with exceptional or atypical spelling-to-sound correspondences.

It is currently unknown why semantic memory is impaired and semantic knowledge deteriorates in SD patients, though the cause may be due to damage to an amodal semantic system. This theory is supported by the atrophy of the anterior temporal lobe, which is believed to contain a component of the semantic system that integrates conceptual information. Others hypothesize that the damage is predominantly to the ventral temporal cortex, since SD patients remember numbers and music, but have trouble associating visual cues to concrete words.

Due to the variety of symptoms dementia patients present, it becomes more difficult to assess semantic memory capability especially with regard to musical elements. In order to circumvent the explicit verbal learning tests for dementia, semantic melodic matching is a useful technique for detecting the semantic memory of semantic dementia patients. Moreover, it is important to maintain that these tests must be compared to nonmusical domain tests, as music cognition is not often measured in semantic dementia patients (less data available).

Physical changes
Structural and functional MRI imaging show a characteristic pattern of atrophy in the temporal lobes (predominantly on the left), with inferior greater than superior involvement and anterior temporal lobe atrophy greater than posterior. This distinguishes it from Alzheimer's disease. Meta-analyses on MRI and FDG-PET studies confirmed these findings by identifying alterations in the inferior temporal poles and amygdalae as the hotspots of disease - brain regions that have been discussed in the context of conceptual knowledge, semantic information processing, and social cognition. Based on these imaging methods, semantic dementia can be regionally dissociated from the other subtypes of frontotemporal lobar degeneration, frontotemporal dementia, and progressive nonfluent aphasia.

Selective hypometabolism of glucose has been observed in the anterior temporal lobe, as well as the medial temporal lobe and limbic areas.

Damage to white matter tracts connecting the anterior temporal cortex to the inferior longitudinal, arcuate, and uncinate fasciculi, which are regions of the language network, is also seen using diffusion tensor imaging. Imaging also shows the integrity of the axonal connections from the anterior temporal cortex to frontal and posterior associative areas to be altered.

Functional abnormalities have also been observed in hippocampal structures, the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, and the cingulate cortex.

Memory in dementia: musical objects, musical concepts, and semantic memory
Melodies are a key aspect of musical objects that are thought to form the contents of semantic memory for music. Melodies are defined as familiar tunes that become associated with musical or extra musical meaning. Using familiar songs, such as Christmas carols, were used to test whether SD patients were able to recognize the tones and melodies of the songs if the patients were just given the words of the song. In the analysis of semantic memory using melodies as stimuli, the contents of semantic memory can include many other aspects aside from recognition of the melody, such as the general information about the music (composer, genre, year of release). Results have shown that musicians who have semantic dementia are able to identify and recognize certain melodic tones.

Further exploring the tests of music and semantic memory, results of a study that centered on the comprehension of emotion in music indicated that Alzheimer's Disease (AD) patients retained the ability to discern emotions from a song while non-AD degenerative disease patients, such as those with semantic dementia (SD), show impaired comprehension of these emotions. Moreover, several dementia patients, all with varied musical experience and knowledge, all demonstrated an understanding of the fundamental governing rules of western music. Essentially, it was found that superordinate knowledge of music, such as the rules of composition, may be more robust than knowledge of specific music.

Regarding the neurobiological correlates for this study, it was determined, via lesion studies, that bilateral (but especially the left-side of the brain) fronto-temporoparietal areas are significant in the associative processing of melodies. Based on the data of imaging studies that looked at the localization of processing melodies, it can be inferred that the anatomical location of the processes in consistent with the findings that some SD patients have intact melody recognition. Additionally, the neurobiological basis for musical emotion identification implicated the limbic and paralimbic structures in this process. Overall, the results of these studies suggest that the neurobiological basis of musical semantic memory is bilaterally located in the cerebral hemispheres, likely around the fronto-temporal areas of the brain. Unfortunately, due to the lack of studies studying musical semantic memory, conclusions cannot be more specific.

Treatment
There is currently no known curative treatment for SD. The average duration of illness is 8–10 years, and its progression cannot be slowed. Progression of SD can lead to behavioral and social difficulties, thus supportive care is essential for improving quality of life in SD patients as they grow more incomprehensible. Continuous practice in lexical learning has been shown to improve semantic memory in SD patients. No preventative measures for SD are recognized.

The Ultraman

The☆Ultraman (ザ☆ウルトラマン) is a Japanese animated television series co-produced by Tsuburaya Production and Tokyo Broadcasting System and animated by Sunrise. The series aired on TBS Television affiliates on the Wednesday 7:00 PM time slot from April 4, 1979 to March 26, 1980, lasting a total of 50 episodes. It was the eighth installment in the Ultra Series and began airing four years after the end of Ultraman Leo.

The show was the first animated incarnation of Tsuburaya's iconic superhero Ultraman, as well as one of the earliest works of anime studio Nippon Sunrise (now known as Bandai Namco Filmworks), who also worked on their now-iconic mecha series Mobile Suit Gundam during the same year.

Story
In the 21st century, various mysterious events occur on Earth, causing monsters to appear all of a sudden. EGG3 officer Chouichirou Hikari was scouted to join the Science Defense Squad on Earth but while on his way back, he was bonded to Ultraman Jonias, an Ultra-Person of U-40 who was sent by his brethren to fight against the monster threats and alien invasions. This allows the youth to become an Ultraman against countless enemies while keeping his identity a secret from his fellow members. Almost in the middle of the series, both Hikari and Jonias lost their lives from fighting the Spirit Parasite. They were spirited to the Ultra Planet of U-40 by Elec, and discovered the Ultra People's connection to the Earth in the past. Hikari and Jonias were revived in said planet and helped foiled the invaders Badel People to reclaim the stolen Ultra-mind.

Starting from episode 28, Daisuke Gondo becomes a new captain to the SDS. Despite their rocky start, the team learn to accept him due to his great intuition and brotherly instinct. Amia would return to Earth to warn Hikari and the SDS of the invasion of Heller Empire, a renegade faction of Ultra People that invaded their home world and saw Earth as their next target due to Jonias's involvement. The Heller Empire was led by Heller, who was banished due to his misuse of the Ultra-mind for immortality. The SDS were given the Ultria, an ancient battleship made by the Ultra People to counter invasion attempts made by the Heller Army. In the four final episodes, Heller sent a full-scale invasion on Earth to wipe humanity after fearing that they would cooperate with the remaining Ultra People. The SDS disobeyed the Earth Self Defense Army to go into space, joining forces with the remaining U-40 resistances to form the U Fleet and attacked the Titan Base on Saturn to prevent more invasion forces from coming to Earth. On U-40, the SDS made a risky attempt to sneak into the Heller City to weaken its defense as the U Fleet attacked Heller's forces in the planet's outer atmosphere. When the SDS were about to be killed by Mac Datar, Hikari's secret was exposed to save his comrades before joining the remaining seven Ultras in foiling Heller's attempts to escape. With Amia and the Wiseman being rescued, Heller died in the ensuing explosion as U-40 celebrated their victory. Jonias finally separated from Hikari and spent several months to observe Earth with his sister Amia. Once assuring that peace had returned, they bid farewell to the SDS and promised to return when the Earth's safety is threatened once more.

Insert Songs
Sasaki, who was in charge of the song, made it the most difficult song he had ever sung. It was used in Episode 18, and in Episode 23, the instrument was used. In the 15th episode of the next series, Ultraman 80, Emi Johno was used in the scene singing a lullaby to the monster Mue and in 44 the instrument was used in the scene where 80 and the Delusion Ultra Seven fight. In addition, the "popular monster large parade" of "5 Nights Series Super TV" (March 26–30, 1984, Ultraman Taro, Mirrorman, Fireman, Jumborg Ace) digest version had been featured. It is also used as an ending.

English versions
In the United States, there have been two feature-length movie compilations: The Adventures of Ultraman (1981), and Ultraman II: The Further Adventures of Ultraman (1983). The Adventures of Ultraman was a feature-length film produced by Tsuburaya Productions specifically for the English-language market. The film is composed of edited footage from several episodes of the series. The storyline was rewritten for this adaptation with a new script by Jeff Segal and music composed by Mark McKinniss. Ultraman II was a dub of the first four episodes co-produced by Tsuburaya Productions and Associates Entertainment International. Despite the title, it has no continuity with the previous English dub of the series. Although the translation is closer to the original Japanese scripts than the first movie, the characters' names were still changed (although, the names given to the characters are not the same ones used in the previous dub). The order of the third and fourth episodes were also switched.

On April 5, 1980, episode 14 of The Ultraman aired on U.S. national television when New York superstation WOR-TV Channel 9 (now WWOR) aired it as the first part of "Japan Tonight!", a special seven-hour block of programming from TBS (Tokyo Broadcasting System), hosted by actor Telly Savalas. Japanese actress/author/talk show host Tetsuko Kuroyanagi introduced the episode surrounded by assorted Ultraman toys and merchandise while explaining to the American audience just who Ultraman is, "It's very, very popular in Japan - He's like your Superman". The episode was dubbed into English by William Ross (Frontier Enterprises) in Japan and was sponsored by Bandai America.
