Talk:Fiber Optic Gyros

Suggest removal
"It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Ring laser gyroscope. (Discuss)" - well its simply a plug for KVH and adds nothing to the page on Ring laser gyroscopes.

 * There is already a page covering this at Fibre_optic_gyroscope and nothing links to this now that KVH_Industries has been cleaned up somewhat.

Unspecified source for Image:SC4 360 Boxart.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:SC4 360 Boxart.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may 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. Nv8200p talk 03:38, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Ps3 ss02.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Ps3 ss02.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- ReyBrujo 16:06, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Tony Guida

Tony Guida (born November 5, 1941) is a New York-based local television and radio personality. He is currently a news anchor for WCBS Newsradio 880 and a business correspondent for CBS News.

Life and career
Guida began his career working as a reporter for WSAV-TV, Savannah, GA, and then for G.E.’s WRGB Television in Albany/ Schenectady, NY. Guida's career in New York City began in 1970 at New York television station WOR-TV (now WWOR-TV) as a reporter and later in 1971 as co-anchor of that station's former 7pm newscast. In 1972, Guida went to WNBC as a weekend co-anchor, later becoming Chief Political Reporter for the station. For a brief period in 1979, Guida was also a news anchor (succeeding Floyd Kalber) on the NBC Today program. In 1981, Guida joined WCBS-TV as Chief Political Reporter. In 1986, Guida re-joined WNBC-TV as Chief Political Reporter, and in 1989, Guida was promoted to co-anchor of Live at Five. In 1991 when the Live at Five moniker was briefly dropped from WNBC-TV, Guida was made co-anchor of Today in New York.

Guida was unhappy with his move; when his contract with the station expired in 1992, Guida was offered a job to anchor a new noon newscast which did not start until 1995. Guida would also be responsible for keeping his co-hosting duties on Today In New York. Guida turned this offer down when he accepted WCBS-TV's offer as a senior reporter. In 1993, Guida added 5pm co-anchor to his reporting duties. In 1994, Guida was switched from 5pm to 6pm co-anchor.

In 1995, Guida replaced Jim Jensen as co-anchor of WCBS-TV's Sunday morning public affairs program, Sunday Edition. That same year, Guida was made co-anchor of the 5pm and 11pm newscasts for a short period of time after John Roberts left to join CBS News and before John Johnson joined from WABC-TV. Guida kept his other WCBS-TV duties during this short period of time. In 1996, Guida, along with Johnson, Michele Marsh and other WCBS-TV anchors were fired from the station.

Guida was later hired as lead anchor for a new station launched by Dow Jones & Company, WBIS-TV, which offered a hybrid format of sporting events and business news. When that station was sold to Paxson Communications in 1997, Guida joined CNNfn as a daytime anchor. During that period of time, Guida filled in for Lou Dobbs on Moneyline, a business news show that aired on both CNN and CNNfn and is now known as Lou Dobbs Tonight. In 2001, Guida was yet again a part of a mass firing, this time at CNN. Later that year, Guida joined WCBS-AM as an anchor where he anchored coverage of the September 11, 2001 attacks throughout that day. In the past few years, Guida has filed reports for the Saturday Edition of the CBS Evening News, and for MSNBC where he has served as a backup anchor for Countdown with Keith Olbermann.

In 2005 Guida supplied the voice of the Newsreader in the Activision PC video game The Movies.

Between 2015 and 2023 Guida hosted a 30-minute talk show Tony Guida's NY on CUNY TV.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paradox Trifora

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was DELETE. -Splash talk 21:48, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Paradox Trifora
Delete: non-notable web forum. JDoorjam 19:43, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

I vote against deletion: I cannot help but think JDoorjam is biased since he removed the bulk of the article and then nominated it for deletion. At least leave it in tact and nominate the article for what it is. . . wadehouston
 * Check the page history, pal. I removed "I am bored and very horny" which an anon put in there.  Then I added a stub, and then added vfd.  JDoorjam 22:08, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

its a spurious wank. delete it. (previous unsigned comment by: User:24.72.26.37

Delete it ASAP. (previous unsigned comment by: User:195.24.9.6
 * Its offensive towards the Tomatoforum and ITF. If you write an encyclopedia article, you cannot write it from a single point of view, and furthermore you cannot write it in such a way to offend people whose tastes differ from yours. While the Paradox Trifora mainly discusses politics, the Tomatoforum people mainly talk about daily events, which (admit it or not) include pornography, rude words and making fun of someone elses misfortune. But it's unfair to say that it's made out only of "massive amounts of spam, pornography, and references to gross-out humor", since many positive topics are discussed also, so it looks like the author either knows nothing about the forum he accuses or his arrogance doesn't allow him to see what he doesn't want to see.

I find it highly offensive that Paradox Interactive are associated with the kind of degenerates that would operate such a forum as Tomatoland or ITF. The information, if it can be called that is highly misleading and in some cases just plainly untrue.. (previous unsigned comment by: User:Sir Clive

 * As the author of the original article, I refuse to take responsibility for hijacks by teenagers such as the one mentioned above, nor do I see the point in listening to anonymous criticism by non-members. Paradox Entertainment is one of the most popular forums for video game developers, and especially high among European-based ones. The excuse that it is for not popular webfora is relativism at its best, and perhaps this deletion article itself needs a Neutral POV indicator, since you obviously are misinformed, JDoor. Sadistik

 * Personal attacks removed.--Scimitar parley 14:33, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Sadisdik
 * Character defamation at its best. I state outwardly that I am Sadistik, while you refuse to admit to your identity, Kyujuni. Regardless, I am not a neo-nazi, fascist, nor a racist. My religion prevents me from being entirely accepting of homosexuality, but I fail to see where that is your business, nor do I see where it effects the article in any way. All of the most slanderous lines were added afterwards by other people, and that is documented.

 * This article is total bollocks, waste of space, and therefore should be deleted. And contrary to what the individual above states, he is a fascist who admires Mussolini. Well anyway, i don't understand what the heck is an article about a relatively obscure internet community doing here. (previous unsigned comment by: User:82.181.92.17

 * Personal attacks removed --Scimitar parley 14:33, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

This article is entirely accurate and I find it unbiased. I will be saddened if this masturb.. masterfully written article is removed. -Fireblade (previous unsigned comment by: User:65.66.68.144

Well, a few improvements have been made. :nods: - Sultan of Sausage Sucker (previous unsigned comment by: User:82.32.28.238

 * Removed inappropriate comments --Scimitar parley 14:33, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I suggest Sadistik get a dictionary so he can look up words like Libel in the future. As it is I can clarify it for him. Libel is character defimation through the written word, which he admits too. (previous unsigned comment by: User:205.206.187.146

 * Delete- nn. Christy747 09:11, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

USS Rowan (TB-8)

The first USS Rowan (Torpedo Boat No. 8/TB-8) was a torpedo boat in the United States Navy during the Spanish–American War. She was named for Vice Admiral Stephen Rowan.

Rowan was laid down on 22 June 1896 by Moran Brothers Company, Seattle, Washington; launched 8 April 1898; sponsored by Mrs. Edward Moale, Jr.; and commissioned on 1 April 1899, Lieutenant Reginald F. Nicholson in command. After trials in Puget Sound, Rowan was decommissioned on 1 May 1899.

Rowan was recommissioned on 23 April 1908 and on 21 June she departed Bremerton, Washington, for Mare Island Navy Yard in Vallejo, California. For the next year she cruised off the United States West Coast, from the Canada–US border to Magdalena Bay, Mexico, as a unit of the 3rd Torpedo Flotilla. Then assigned to the Reserve Torpedo Group at Mare Island, she resumed operations with the torpedo flotilla in December 1909 and continued that duty until 1912.

Rowan was decommissioned at Mare Island on 28 October 1912. Her name was struck from the Navy list the following day and her hulk was sold for scrap on 3 June 1918.

Contests
User:Dr. Blofeld has created WikiProject Africa/Contests. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $1000-1500 is possible for prize money. As someone who has previously expressed interest in African topics, would you be interested in contributing to one or assisting draw up core article/missing article lists? He says he's thinking of North Africa for an inaugural one in October. If interested please sign up in the participants section of the Contest page, thanks.♦ -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:34, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Invite to the African Destubathon
Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most geography, wildlife and women articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing, whether it's a river in Malawi, a Nigerian footballer, or a South African civil rights activist, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. For those of you who signed up to the North African contest, that will hopefully be held in the new year. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:11, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Loup Garou (album)

Loup Garou (French for werewolf) is an album released in 1995 by Willy DeVille. First released in Europe in 1995 on the EastWest label, it was released the following year in the United States on the Discovery label. It was recorded in Los Angeles and produced by John Philip Shenale, who also produced DeVille’s Backstreets of Desire album.

Duet with Brenda Lee
Loup Garou includes a duet with Brenda Lee (“You’ll Never Know”). DeVille said about recording with Lee: She’s amazing, and so professional. She's just this tiny little woman who has this great big voice. I had to cool out her accent a little bit. She had a real cracker-type of accent. I guess it's gotten thicker over the years, because she didn't sound like that when she was a teenager doing "Sweet Nothing."

She didn't know who the hell I was. I just called her up, played the song for her, and she loved it. She had her business people check me out, and they reported that I was big in Europe and had been recording for twenty years. So I flew to Nashville, which is a very weird place. Everybody is in the music business—every cab driver, waiter and busboy.

She was very shy. I thought she didn't like me at first, but once she got into the studio and saw me with all my dogs, she realized I was a very normal person. I told her I'd seen every show she ever did in New Orleans. I was the guy in front, and I had a picture of her sitting on my lap. I had my proof. That's got to go down in my book as one of the most memorable experiences in my career.

Reviews
Allmusic's 2008 capsule review says, “With Loup Garou, Willie DeVille explored new rhythmic and melodic territory, experimenting with cajun and mariachi music. Not all of the songs work—frequently, Deville sounds too nervous and studied to really break free and have fun with the material—but it nevertheless is enjoyable, with enough strong songs (especially ‘You’ll Never Know,’ a duet with Brenda Lee) to make it worthwhile for longtime DeVille followers.”

The album received at least two favorable reviews at the time of its release. Musician said, “Loup Garou is subtle in nuance but staggering in scope; it connects the dots between all of the artist’s sacrosanct influences, often within the framework of a single song … All of it is on the money, performed from the heart.”

The Independent said, “(Deville’s) voice has, if anything, improved with the husky patina of age. Loup Garou builds on his trademark sub-Springsteen style, adding a few Louisiana voodoo touches where appropriate, particularly on the title track, and blending in other, more unusual textures, like the fairground sound of the Optigan keyboard on ‘Still (I Love You Still).’ He comes close to poignancy-overload on ‘Angels Don't Lie,’ where wistful uilleann pipes and penny-whistle are combined with the haunting string-pad sound from ‘Streets of Philadelphia,’ but there's enough skill and sensitivity elsewhere to render this a more than capable comeback.”

Other information
While DeVille wrote most of Loup Garou in his native English, some songs have lyrics in Cajun French, and “Asi Te Amo” is a Spanish language reprise of the track “Still (I Love You Still).” "No Such Pain as Love" presents a rare country music offering by DeVille. Freddy Koella, a longtime DeVille sideman, cowrote "When You're Away from Me."

The cover photograph shows DeVille standing in front of Jean Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop, said to be the oldest bar in the United States, at the corner of Bourbon Street and St. Philip Street in New Orleans.

DeVille, his then-wife Lisa, and Mink DeVille Band members Koella, David J. Keyes, Seth Farber, Boris Kinberg, and Shawn Murray appeared in a music video for "Still (I Love You Still)," filmed in spring 1995 at the New Orleans Preservation Hall.

Victorian Premier's Literary Awards

The Victorian Premier's Literary Awards were created by the Victorian Government with the aim of raising the profile of contemporary creative writing and Australia's publishing industry. As of 2013, it is reportedly Australia's richest literary prize with the top winner receiving A$125,000 and category winners A$25,000 each.

The awards were established in 1985 by John Cain, Premier of Victoria, to mark the centenary of the births of Vance and Nettie Palmer, two of Australia's best-known writers and critics who made significant contributions to Victorian and Australian literary culture.

From 1986 till 1997, the awards were presented as part of the Melbourne Writers Festival. In 1997 their administration was transferred to the State Library of Victoria. By 2004, the total prize money was A$180,000. In 2011, stewardship was taken over by the Wheeler Centre.

Winners 2011–present
Beginning in 2011, the awards were restructured into 5 categories: Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, Drama and Young People's. The winner of each receives $25,000. Of those 5 winners, one is chosen as the overall winner of the Victorian Prize for Literature and receives an additional $100,000. There are two other categories with different prize amounts: an honorary People's Choice Award voted on by readers, and an Unpublished Manuscript Award with a prize amount of $15,000. In 2022 an Award for Children's Literature valued at $25,000 was added, with entries being accepted in 2023.

Shortlists are maintained in the main article for each category.

Fiction
For winners from 1985 to 2010, see Vance Palmer Prize for Fiction.

Nonfiction
For winners from 1985 to 2010, see the Nettie Palmer Prize for Non-fiction.

Paul Amman

Paul Amman (31 August 1634 – 4 February 1691) was a German physician and botanist.

Biography
Amman was born at Breslau in 1634. In 1662 he received the degree of doctor of physic from the university of Leipzig, and in 1664 was admitted a member of the society Naturae Curiosorum, under the name of Dryander. Shortly afterwards he was chosen extraordinary professor of medicine in the above-mentioned university; and in 1674 he was promoted to the botanical chair, which he again in 1682 exchanged for the physiological. He died at Leipzig in 1691. He seems to have been a man of critical mind and extensive learning. William Houstoun named the species Ammannia in his honor, a name that was used by Linnaeus in his Critica Botanica.

Works
His principal works were:
 * Medicina Critica (1670);
 * Paraenesis ad Docentes occupata circa Institutionum Medicarum Emendationem (1673);
 * Irenicum Numae Pompilii cum Hippocrate (1689);
 * Supellex Botanica (1675);
 * Character Naturalis Plantarum (1676).

Talk:Fitch's paradox of knowability

Recommendations
Every instance of "L" on the main page should be replaced with "M" to bring it in line with the predominant usage in modal logic where "L" is typically the necessity operator and "M" the possibility operator.

Also, I'd recommend that the importance class be intermediate (if there is such a thing) rather than "low".

How exactly is 'being knowable' defined?
Does it mean knowable with all properties or partially knowable? This is unclear and therefore IMHO it is a wishy washy empty logical statement that is of no use. It starts with the definition K p : p is knowable what is a definition that is not negatable: Not K p would mean that p is not knowable. But Not K p is an expression describing p, so it *is* knowable to the extend that it is unknowable, what is an intrinsic contradiction. This is due to the fact that the definition K p is not restricted to a certain class of objects, but refers to the global aspect of knowability that includes those very expressions and definitions. It is simply impossible to talk or reflect about unknowables without hitting such recursive contradictions. IMHO such problems are of the same class as the problem of the S: "set of all sets that do not contain themselves", that caused so much trouble for Russell. -- Rainer Dickermann —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.96.138.64 (talk) 10:41, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Lengthy deleted text
The following text has been added by various contributors:
 * A concise statement of Fitch's paradox is: "It is impossible for all truths to be knowable unless all truths are known, because the fact of an unknown truth existing is unknowable."

 * As a simple example, suppose that your friends are considering throwing you a surprise party. It is then impossible for you to even know that the statement "My friends are throwing me a surprise party" is true; if you ever did know that, then the party would no longer be a surprise, and the statement would become false.  Thus, you can know that this statement is false, but it's impossible for you to ever know that it is true.  In spite of this, it is perfectly possible for that statement to be true; all of your friends can know about it and it will remain true as long as you don't know about it.

 * That example covered the knowledge of only one person, but it can be taken further. There is an old children's riddle: "What was the tallest mountain in the world before Mount Everest was discovered?"  The answer is "Mount Everest", because Mount Everest still existed - and was still, in fact, the tallest mountain in the world - even before it was discovered; we just didn't know it.

 * Thus, prior to the discovery of Mount Everest, the statement "Mount Everest (or, to be pedantic, the mountain that would later be named Mount Everest) is the tallest mountain in the world, but nobody knows it" was perfectly true. However, just as with the "surprise party" statement, it was impossible for anyone to know that it was true - because as soom as anyone knows it, it becomes false.

 * The paradox, therefore, is that if we assume that there are some statements that are true which we are not yet aware of - undiscovered scientific principles, information about the future, secrets yet to be revealed, and similar - then for any such statement, the fact that "(the statement) is true, but we don't know it" is true, but it's impossible for us to ever know it. Thus, there must be some true statements which are unknowable, and thus not all truths are knowable.  This is a very uncomfortable conclusion, but the only escape - assuming that we already know all there is to know, so that no statements of the form above can exist and be true - is even more uncomfortable.

The above text is not about Fitch's paradox. It is perhaps about the paradox of the knower, which is quite different. --- Charles Stewart 19:48, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

I wrote the text above based on the first of the two linked pages, namely http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/fitch-paradox/, which describes the paradox (translated from formal logic notation) as:

 * Suppose knowability: For all propositions p, if p is true then p can be known at some time.
 * Suppose non-omniscience: There exist some proposition(s) p such that all p are true but no p is known at any time.
 * Instantiate: There exists a particular proposition p such that p is true and p is not known at any time.
 * Substitute above statement into knowability: if the proposition that, "There exists a particular proposition p such that p is true and p is not known at any time" is true, then it can be known at some time.
 * Modus Ponens: since we are assuming that "There exists a particular proposition p such that p is true and p is not known at any time" is indeed true, then it must indeed be possible for "There exists a particular proposition p such that p is true and p is not known at any time" to be known.
 * But it can't be, because as soon as you know it, you know p, and then the part of the conjunction stating that "p is not known at any time" becomes false.

The "surprise party" example describes a single knower, but the later example concerning Everest is intended to apply to the whole range of agents capable of knowing things, which yields Fitch's Paradox as above. -- Hyphz

Of course, the premise, all true statements are knowable, is false. See, for example, G%C3%B6del%27s_completeness_theorem --Ken —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.83.61.196 (talk) 15:21, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Not a paradox
This isn't a paradox. The trickery lies in thinking that it is impossible for the statement "p is an unknown truth" to be both true and knowable at the same time. Any normal human would 1st realize "p is an unknown truth" (making it true and known(able)) and then quickly know p (at which point "p is an unknown truth" becomes untrue). OR, if we treat the knowing of "p is an unknown truth" and knowing p as true as simultaneous in their realization, then they are simply restatements of the same thing and the paradox becomes  semantics from the beginning.173.164.218.92 (talk) 17:31, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

 * I initially thought the error was in the failure to handle tense correctly, but I've changed my mind - exploring this does make it easier to identify the correct resolution though, so let's run with it. Suppose there's a box which contains something, but no one knows what it contains. There is an unknown truth about what is in that box. However, when someone looks in the box and sees a cat, it becomes a known truth. Now let's look at the statement about the truth of "the box contains a cat". "The box contains a cat" is an unknown truth. That statement is true up until the time when someone looks in the box, but is no longer true afterwards. So how can that statement be both right and wrong? Well, it isn't: it's a new statement every time you read it because each reading of it has a new tense. Let's say that I looked in the box at midnight when today began, the statement, when read yesterday, had a tense that tied it to the 9th of May 2018, but when it's read today it has a tense tied to it which is the 10th of May 2018, so it's clearly a different statement. Yesterdays version of the statement remains true, because it's now a past tense, and "the box contains a cat" was an unknown truth yesterday. Today, the statement is a new one with today as its tense, and it's false. But let's now try to make the statement cover all times and see what happens. The claim becomes: "the box contains a cat" is eternally an unknown truth. This is never true if the content of the box will at any time become known by any means, so the statement can never become a known truth, and that means that there can be unknown truths that can never be known to be true, so rule C is false.

 * At the end of the article there's a part that introduces a rule C' to replace C, and this is claimed to restore the paradox: "There is an unknown, but knowable truth, and it is knowable that there is an unknown, but knowable truth." The article needs to show this in an example which ordinary people can follow to see whether the claim stacks up. This matters, because there doesn't appear to be any example of an unresolvable paradox anywhere, and if this one's an exception to the rule, it's worth exploring properly.Djvyd (talk) 16:23, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

 * This is a paradox: it shows that the obvious formalisation of a widely held thesis runs into contradication. The puzzle with attempted solutions to the paradox is to show that they can be formalised without contradiction. — Charles Stewart (talk) 11:30, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

 * I agree. You can consider tenses or different types of knowing (known unknown truth, such as I know there's a box with something, but I don't know that something), no matter what, Line 1 runs into a contradiction. I think the resolution lies in understanding knowledge as the totality of interconnected particles in the universe. If knowledge is limited to the electricity in my neurons, then I don't know what's in the box and I can never know. Not until some new electricity (information) arrives. If that happens, i.e. my hands open the box and the light bounces off the cat to my eye, then it's not the case that I did not know: I simply did not gauge my knowledge correctly due to time. The paradox disregards space and time: it looks at actuality, not possibility: if I don't know something now and never learn it even if it was possible to learn, it's the same as being impossible to know it. Or if I don't know it, then either I will never know it, or I've miscalculated/restricted the parameters of my information (past, present, and future).Cornelius (talk) 06:51, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

The knowability thesis
This section includes a tantalizing development, but without much elaboration. It replaces the premise in (C) that all truths are knowable (p → LKp) with the tautologically undeniable "all knowable unknown truths can be known":

(C')	∃x((x & ¬Kx) & LKx) & LK((x & ¬Kx) & LKx) = changing the x's into p's like the rest of the article we get: (C')   ∃p((p & ¬Kp) & LKp) & LK((p & ¬Kp) & LKp)

Maybe we could expand this from line 9, because as complex as it seems, it's actually very simple. You don't need line 8 really here because the rule incorporates it since Rule (C') does not relate to all truths but only to knowable truths, but let's presume it so:

-if ∃p((p & ¬Kp) & LKp) & LK((p & ¬Kp) & LKp) is existentially true, then an instance is true, so: 9. ((p & ¬Kp) & LKp) & LK((p & ¬Kp) & LKp) 10. ((p & ¬Kp) & LKp) & LK(p & ¬Kp) & LK(LKp)  from line 9 by Rule (B) 11. LK(p & ¬Kp)                                from line 10 by conjunction elimination

and then lines 12-13 here are identical to lines 10-11 in the article, concluding all knowable truths must be known instead of all truths must be known (making them all knowable): even though p represents simply a "truth" not a "knowable truth" - because (C') replaces (C) (or else we're just assuming (C) again). Line 11 can't be denied anyway, otherwise one is arguing it's impossible to ever learn an unknown truth. In fact, (C') can be reduced to: LK((p & ¬Kp) & LKp) - it's possible to know an unknown, but knowable truth.

Bonus, I want to make the following personal observation/contribution. One could allege the paradox of semantic or conceptual trickery when assuming in Line 6 the opposite of Line 1 which led to a contradiction. If we expand line 6 the way we did line 1, however, we don't get a contradiction:

6. ¬K(p & ¬Kp) 7. ¬Kp & ¬K¬Kp - From line 6 by rule (B) 8. ¬K¬Kp      - From line 7 by conjunction elimination

The question becomes, does ¬K¬Kp = K(Kp) which equals Kp? No! If you think about it, if I don't know that I don't know a truth, that doesn't mean I know it. It's like not knowing a question or its answer and concluding I know both. This can be confirmed if we realize that if I don't know a truth, it is still a truth, then we add this rule:

(E) ¬Kp → p. If we substitute ¬Kp for p, we get ¬K¬Kp → ¬Kp:

9. ¬Kp & ¬Kp   - Line 7 by rule (E) 10. ¬Kp         - Line 9, conjunction elimination

So unlike Line 1, Line 6 doesn't lead to a contradiction. If one objects to the idea that not knowing a truth makes it a truth, then we can modify it to:

(E') to ¬Kp → p v ¬p - If I don't know a truth it is either a truth or untruth.

Then we get, ¬K¬Kp → ¬Kp v ¬¬Kp:

9. ¬Kp v ¬¬Kp       - From line 8 by rule (E') 10. ¬Kp v Kp         - negation elimination 11. ¬Kp & (¬Kp v Kp) - Line 7 and Line 10 12. (¬Kp & ¬Kp) v Kp - Associative Property 13. ¬Kp v Kp         - Identity

Again, no contradiction in itself nor with the conclusion from rule (E), showing the negation of Line 1 in Line 6 is valid. Additionally, one may not propose ¬Kp → ¬p, that not knowing a truth makes it an untruth (which would lead to a contradiction), if one cannot propose ¬Kp → p.
