Talk:Marginal stability

Significance
To be expanded: What is the signifcance of being Marginally Stable? We have a definition but it doesn't tell us why we'd care. What is the advantage? RJFJR 03:29, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Nonpositive vs. zero
Nonpositive is something different than zero. A (CT,LTI) system with one zero eigenvalue/pole and all other in the left half plane is still marginally stable. Just undid this change Zeebrommer (talk) 19:21, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Additions 11 August 2014
On the rare occasion of encountering an article that I felt I had something to add to, I contributed to Wikipedia for the first time. I hope I did it about right, feel free to revert/edit anything I added! Zeebrommer (talk) 21:29, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Misleading phrase: "no final steady-state output"
In the section "System response" it reads "A bounded offset or oscillations in the output will persist indefinitely, and so there will in general be no final steady-state output." It looks to me that this paragraph says a non-constant values implies no steady-state. If that's case, it's WRONG. Steady-state need not be constant; for example in AC electric circuits with sinusoidal sources, there still exists steady-state (and that's exactly why it's valid to use phasors!; if we wanted the transient response, phasors wouldn't be useful.)

If you don't believe me, you can read the section 10.2 of the textbook Engineering Circuit Analysis (8th edition) by W. Hayt, J. Kemmerly and S. Durbin, which reads "Unfortunately, steady state carries the connotation of 'not changing with time' in the minds of many students. This is true for dc forcing functions, but the sinusoidal steady-state response is definitely changing with time."

So, my suggestion is to change the phrase "no final steady-state output" to "no final value." Otherwise I may change it to avoid possible misinterpretations from future readers.

What about a simple pole at the origin?
Consider H(s)=1/s, hence h(t)=u(t). The system is marginally stable. However, it does not satisfy the condition: "one or more poles have zero real part and non-zero imaginary part" 77.137.73.60 (talk) 22:10, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

57 Aquilae

57 Aquilae (abbreviated 57 Aql) is a double star in the constellation of Aquila. 57 Aquilae is its Flamsteed designation. The primary star has an apparent visual magnitude of 5.70, while the secondary is magnitude 6.48. The pair have an angular separation of 35.624 arcseconds and probably form a wide binary star system. The estimated distance of the first component is 480 ly, while the second is at 510 ly. However, the margin of errors for their respective distance estimates overlap, indicating a probability that they are actually located much closer to each other. Both stars are massive, B-type main sequence stars with rapid rotation rates.

20 Aquilae

20 Aquilae, abbreviated 20 Aql, is an irregular variable star in the equatorial constellation of Aquila. 20 Aquilae is its Flamsteed designation. It ranges in magnitude from a peak of 5.33 down to 5.36, which is bright enough for the star to be visible to the naked eye. The estimated distance to this star is around 920 light years, based upon an annual parallax shift of $−23.0$. The star is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −23 km/s.

There has been some disagreement over the stellar classification of this star. Buscombe (1962) listed a class of B3 IV, which suggests a B-type subgiant star that has exhausted the hydrogen at its core and is expanding off the main sequence. Lesh (1968) and Braganca et al. (2012) matched a B-type main sequence star with a class of B3 V. However, Houk and Swift (1999) found a class of B2/3 II, indicating this is an evolved bright giant.

The star is about 28 million years old with a high rate of spin, showing a projected rotational velocity of 133 km/s. It has 8.6 times the mass of the Sun and is radiating 7,284 times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 18,700 K.

Flash (Queen song)

"Flash" is a song by British rock band Queen. Written by guitarist Brian May, "Flash" is the theme song of the 1980 film Flash Gordon.

There are two versions of the song. The album version ("Flash's Theme") is in fact the start to the film, with all the dialogue from the first scene. The single version contains dialogue cut from various parts of the film, most memorably, Brian Blessed's character exclaiming "Gordon's alive?!" This version was also included on the Greatest Hits compilation from 1981.

The song's lead vocals are shared by May and Freddie Mercury, with Roger Taylor adding high harmonies. May plays most of the instruments, except for the bass guitar and drums. He used an Imperial Bösendorfer piano (with 97 keys instead of 88, having an extra octave on the low range), an Oberheim OB-X synthesizer (as seen in the song's music video), and his homemade Red Special electric guitar.

The song reached number 10 on the UK Singles Chart and number three in Germany. On the U.S. charts, "Flash's Theme aka Flash" reached number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100. It peaked at number 39 on the Cash Box Top 100.

Record World described the single version as a "supersonic cut with a chorus hook guaranteed to rescue tired holiday ears."

Music video
The music video was filmed at Advision Studios, London, in November 1980 and directed by Don Norman and shows the band performing the song to a screen showing clips from the film. An alternative version broadcast during the Concert for Kampuchea in 1981 with different clips included on the Flash Gordon 2011 iTunes edition.

Personnel

 * Freddie Mercury – lead and backing vocals
 * Brian May – lead and backing vocals, electric guitar, piano, synthesizer
 * Roger Taylor – drums, backing vocals, timpani
 * John Deacon – bass guitar

Vanguard remix
German producers Vanguard released a cover of "Flash", credited to "Queen + Vanguard", on 10 February 2003. The single peaked at number 15 on the UK Singles Chart, number two on the UK Dance Chart, and number 17 in Germany.

Live recording

 * Queen on Fire – Live at the Bowl
 * Queen Rock Montreal

In other media
The song is played during an ice dancing routine in the 2007 film Blades of Glory.

The song is played in The Flash episode "Into the Void" where Cisco Ramon plays it when Barry Allen / The Flash enters a black hole to save Chester P. Runk, mentioning that he has been saving the song "for the right moment".

In 2016, a re-recording of the song was used to advertise Flash Multi Surface Concentrated Cleaner in the UK. It has since been used to promote other Flash products. In 2022, the song appeared in a Toyota Corolla Cross commercial in Australia but it used "Cross" instead of "Flash".

Olowe of Ise

Olowe of Ise (Yoruba: Ọlọ́wẹ̀ of Ìsẹ̀; c. 1873 –c. 1938)  is considered by Western art historians and collectors to be one of the most important 20th century artists of the Yoruba people of what is today Nigeria. He was a wood sculptor and master innovator in the African style of design known as oju-ona.

Olowe, originally Olowere, was born in Efon-Alaiye, a town known as a major cultural centre in Yorubaland, but he lived most of his life in the city of Ise. He was initially employed as a messenger at the court of King Arinjale, the Oba of Ise. It is a matter of dispute whether his artistic career began as an apprenticeship or arose purely from his own natural talent. His fame as a sculptor appears to have begun at Ise under the patronage of Arinjale before spreading throughout eastern Yorubaland. Olowe was summoned to Ilesa, Ikere, Akure, Idanre, Ogbagi and other towns located within a 60-mile radius (96.75 kilometers) to create elaborate household (such as doors and veranda posts), personal and ritual objects for wealthy families.

Olowe's celebrated status as an artist was recorded by his contemporaries in Yoruba oral praise poetry known as oriki. For instance, a song sung by one of his wives was recorded in 1988.

International fame
In 1924, Olowe's art was exhibited overseas for the first time when a door and lintel ensemble from the royal palace at Ikere was selected for the Nigerian Pavilion at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley, London. This work of art was subsequently acquired by the British Museum.

Other influence
The stacked trapezoidal shapes of the “corona” facade of the National Museum of African American History and Culture are inspired by the top of a sculpture by Olowe of Ise.

External links and references
Note that Olowe's sculptures were originally painted, but the paint has typically since worn down.

Doom and Zombies
Would Doom/Doom2 or Doom 3 not count as ZOmbie games? In Doom 2 Three types of Zombies made up most of the game enemies (Even though I guess they are not the typical zombie in a since the wield guns.) Nonetheless, Half of the Doom 3 enemeis are Zombies, most being the slow, flesh eating type. -65.30.143.155 (talk) 01:39, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Games on the list should be defined by zombies, ideally, which is where the first two Doom games fall down, they're just low level grunts and don't receive attention like the Cacodemon, for instance. Doom 3 I'm not sure about, I'll have a good look for sources when I get a min. Thanks. Someoneanother 22:36, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Added 'genre' category to table.
Hey guys, I hope that's cool. Fill in what you know. Babij (talk) 19:45, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It would have helped if you'd have given a reason for the change, particularly as genres are already covered in the description column of each game (or could be added). As it stands there's an extra column containing information which is still present in the descriptions, which looks strange and means most of the descriptions need rewriting. Who's gaining what? Someoneanother 02:59, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * And I've removed it, I was going to wait and discuss it with you before doing anything but looking at it again was just giving me a headache. There were slight inconsistencies within the new column itself, definite inconsistencies with the way genres were labelled within the description sections, and no apparent advantage. Some of the descriptions certainly need updating but I'm not going to go through the lot again for the sake of a surplus column, at least until we can establish that it would help the reader in some way. Someoneanother 03:18, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Dead Rising 2
Someone please add Dead Rising 2 to the list, because I don't know how it works. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.202.137.41 (talk) 12:50, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Series are typically limited to a single entry with a link pointing to either a series article, or as in this case, the category containing all of the games. Someoneanother 01:27, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

"Nation Red"
"Nation Red" is a zombie game in which you can get on Steam. I would add it to the list, but I don't know what I would add for a description. Mr. C.C. Hey yo!I didn't do it! 06:14, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Really it would need its own article, which I was poised to create since you've expressed an interest in it, but the only usable source I could find on line is this short GamesRadar review, and a PC magazine score on Metacritic. It's not enough to create an article that will stick. If there are any zombie games with articles that aren't currently on the list then just have a stab, don't worry about things like the description if you're not sure, someone will tweak or fill in the blanks.

 * Games without articles aren't listed here, it's not that there's any problem with flash games as such, just that they're more difficult to find sources for. I would have made an article for Last Stand some time ago if the sources were around, Rebuild on the other hand looks like it's got enough sources for an article, it's just that nobody's got around to it yet.

halo are the flood, not zombies
some people seem to be confused about the different between zombies, the flood. The flood are parasites that take over the body even if there living.

Removing redlinks
RE: red-linked articles

Wikipedia Signpost/2008-08-11/Growth study "....adding redlinks actually spurs others to create new articles."

On the other hand, if there are no sources for a game, then the game should be removed from the list.

Thank you for patroling and maintaining this list User:Someone another, and keeping such awesome edit summaries.

I personally feel that some red linked names should be included.

 * list of removed games

Listed here are removed games after 15:56, 2 January 2010 - I did not search before this date.

Igottheconch (talk) 21:56, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Hello there Igottheconch, thank you for bringing this up.

 * Although I have been removing redlinks the purpose is not to eradicate them just because they're redlinks. This specific list presents problems because zombie games are so prolific because they're so popular - developers will put zombies in their games just to attract zombie fans. Without removing non-notable games from the list it would resemble a long chunk of names from Kongregate etc., which couldn't be directly linked to (WP:LINKFARM) and would therefore just hang there and clog the list up with games thrown together for flash sites or the mobile market, drowning out the notable entries. I am not sure of any other way of preventing the list from being damaged this way.

 * To that end I have removed games which have either been deleted at AFD or which lack the sources for an article, indicated in the edit summaries. Wherever possible I have created articles in order to be 'fair', not that I particularly wanted the job of creating them, I just didn't want turn into the sort of editor who undoes everyone else's work. These include: All Zombies Must Die!, Alive 4-Ever, Space Pirates and Zombies (I !voted delete at the AFD, which is what happened, then recreated when the sources were available), and Zombie Lane.

 * As indicated in the Kids Vs Zombies edit summary it is a bit of a chore to have to keep sweeping up, but virtually every removed entry as shown above has a reason. The two latest removals I didn't check for sources, admittedly, but they're in the minority.

 * While I do support the inclusion of redlinks, the idea is to leave links to articles that need to be created, here I have tried very hard only to remove ones which don't, therefore don't belong. Someoneanother 00:16, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

IOS games
Are popular IOs games included like Age of Z, Into the dead series, and dead trigger? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arnold677 (talk • contribs) 12:18, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Metacritic column - necessary?
Is this column actually necessary? In the best case scenario it throws in a number out of 100 but offers no actual information about what reviewers did or didn't like about the game. That's when a game's even listed on Metacritic. It just seems like a waste of space to me. Any opinions? MarvellousMeatpuppet (talk) 00:40, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I went in and updated/added a couple of scores and was planning on going back to update all the ones marked "None". I'm not an expert on metacritic but it looks like we're only using the scores from the metascore column (rather than user reviews which are 1-10) and it takes at least 4 (or maybe 5) critics reviews to get a score. For that I would say keep it as it's a known value and something consistent across most games, which gives people a way to sort the list based on some kind of value. Maybe better than nothing? Bil Simser (talk) 14:37, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delayed reply Bil. While there's nothing wrong with Metascores in general I don't feel that they add anything to this list. For instance: a large number of the entries on this list are for games without a Metascore at all, or are group entries which render individual Metascores useless (a single score for Dead Space, Resident Evil or Dead Island, for instance). Even single games with scores, but are released on multiple formats, are suspect. Which do we use? It's the only column which potentially contains no useful information and in a lot of cases doesn't. The other thing with the Metascores here is that this list appeals to gamers interested in a particular theme - whether a game was rated 60, 70 or 80 doesn't affect whether it's a zombie game. There are a couple of games which have high or low scores (Amy, in particular), but this high/low approval rating can be mentioned in the description column ("Amy was critically panned") etc, which removes the need for the Metascore even more. MarvellousMeatpuppet (talk) 13:58, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

 * I agree. After seeing that half the games don't have a score (and probably never will due to their age, etc.) I think it should be removed. The only other list like this I could find was a List of dragon video games which does not contain the column. It should be removed. Seeing that you and I are the recent editors here I'll give it a few days but clean up the list later this week if there are no objections. Bil Simser (talk) 14:18, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your consideration. Don't feel you have to do all the clean-up yourself though, I'll do my share. MarvellousMeatpuppet (talk) 11:49, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

 * It's done. 2 minute macro in notepad++ so no big deal. Bil Simser (talk) 16:33, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

there’s this other game of zombies that i made an account to say it and is SAS: Zombie Assault 4 I played it when i was younger — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guest 477 (talk • contribs) 01:37, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Qualifier for inclusion?
I'm just wondering what the qualifiers for including entries on the list are? In the article it says "strongly features zombies" but is Minecraft really a "zombie" game then? There are also a lot of red links in the table and the discussion about including them says if they have an article then include them, otherwise no. However there are many games without articles so should they all go? One of the other reasons I'm asking is because I recently found a list of The 50 Greatest Zombie Games Ever and looked at seeding the list with some of these, but some titles include things like Castlevania that, like Minecraft, really doesn't feature zombies very prominently. So where is the line drawn? Bil Simser (talk) 14:44, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello Bil, thanks for your comments. This list is in a relatively poor state because it has not been actively tended to for a year or more (I left WP, having only recently returned), resulting in its current state. Editors do drop in to add a game or do minor fixes, but the amount of games not in proper alphabetical order before they were fixed is an indicator of how far the list has degenerated.

 * Minecraft is a poor example, as you point out. Basically the games here should have a zombie survival type theme or feature zombies as the main enemy type. Although Castlevania, for instance, features zombies in almost/possibly every installment, they're a small part of a huge number of different enemy types. That said there are games such as Crackdown 2 which should be here but aren't yet, so the list could certainly use additions and your help and opinions would be most welcome.

 * With regards to redlinks I trying to check for suitable sources and creating an article rather than leaving a redlink, it would be good to do so again, though I haven't had the time to catch up with it yet. IGotTheConch's point about leaving redlinks for future expansion is a good one and is something I have/will be employing on the other themed game lists, but on this single list it's asking for trouble, IMO. MarvellousMeatpuppet (talk) 21:42, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Once upon a time, this article only included games where zombies were the central theme. Now it's only qualifier is featuring a zombie anywhere.2601:346:C201:60C0:CCD2:AD4:C55A:A58E (talk) 15:14, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

The Last of Us
I added this game best I could. I was very surprised it wasn't included, nor discussed at all on the talk page. But looking through the page edit history, I found what I would have expected it has been added and removed several times, and I have continued the trend. I'm supposing some people like to mention how the word zombie is never used and the fact the infection is caused by a fungus the cordyceps, and therefore claim it is not a true zombie game...Well it is so blatantly a zombie game, it has all the traits of a zombie game, many zombie fictions across many media don't mention the Z word, and the fact it's a fungus is only a plot idea by the writers to make the infection seem a little more scientifically possible as far as zombies can be. Everything about them is zombie-like, and the game is always reffered to as a zombie game. The article about the game itself is within the Category:Zombie video games. Similar discussions have been had about whether to include 28 days later: in the zombie movie categories (here, here and here), but it too has always been called such despite having "infected" and never using the Z word. I know there not dead, but a genre is about artistic style, and this type of game or film definitely has the zombie style all about it and gets described as such. I too am now adding to an argument I hoped I would never get involved in.  Carl wev   05:43, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Terraria
Would it be a good idea to add this game to the list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Waterfiend (talk • contribs) 12:55, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Time to clean up this list
There's no denying that this is an important list. Zombie games are incredibly popular, and it doesn't look like this trend will be slowing down any time soon. With that said, this list is in bad shape. The lead says that the list includes games where zombies are the primary focus, but it includes several games where they are merely one of several types of enemies, like Minecraft. We also need a clear cut definition of what a zombie is. Certain games like State of Decay and H1Z1: Just Survive straight up refer to the enemies as zombies, while other games like Left 4 Dead dance around the concept, and simply call them infected. Finally, the table needs to be better organized. The year release and platforms are fine, but we should also include genre, as there's a zombie game in virtually every genre now. Also, is it important to include a description? Anyway, I wanted to hear your opinions on the matter. I love zombie games of any kind, and would be more than willing to put some serious effort into this list. However, I'd like to see some feedback on how to improve the list. Famous Hobo (talk) 00:31, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I think any game that clearly uses the concepts of zombies without directly calling them that should be included, like your Left 4 Dead example. Genres would be a good addition, but I don't see the need for a description, as any reader who is curious will simply click on the main article and read up on it there. And perhaps the article could be moved to "List of video games that feature zombies"? ~ Dissident93  ( talk ) 02:50, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I think the current title is fine, so long as there is a solid definition of what a zombie game is. By having the list include any game with zombies, your opening the floodgate for god knows how many games. It's just too broad of a title, though if other people like the idea, I'm fine with the change. Also, another question that popped into my mind was what to do with zombie based series? Dead Rising and Left 4 Dead have been and forever will be zombie game series, so should we list out every game for the series? The article as of right now doesn't and just lists the series, though I think it's important to list every game. Famous Hobo (talk) 03:10, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Perhaps a separate, shorter table for zombie game franchises is an idea? ~ Mable ( chat ) 09:41, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Don't most lists of this type go with per game and not per series? ~ Dissident93  ( talk ) 03:14, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Just because it's the common way to go about it, doesn't mean that it's the only way ^_^; Of course, the table for zombie franchises should be big enough to be worth something, or you could make a section of prose to talk about the way in which these franchises use zombies, if possible. ~ Mable ( chat ) 11:15, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
 * "... so long as there is a solid definition of what a zombie game is" - This is the key point, I think, and the core problem with any "List of video games with [insert noun]" article. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no widely recognized zombie genre of video games, so by having an article on "zombie games" we are inventing our own definition and essentially based the article on WP: Original research. On the other hand, if we go with "featuring zombies", we run into huge problems with where to draw the line for inclusion. Resident Evil, despite being cited in the article as the cause of zombies' popularity in video games, could easily be disputed for inclusion: The zombies are portrayed as a minor side effect of the game's central menace, and scarcely even appear after the first 1/3 of the game. Alone in the Dark, which heavily inspired Resident Evil, gives zombies an equally prevalent role, yet is not included in the list. These are just two examples of grey areas which in all likelihood will never be definitively sorted out.--Martin IIIa (talk) 14:30, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Yeah we need a good definition of what a zombie game is. I think that a solid definition of what games should be included on the list is: Now onto what to do if the game doesn't refer to the main enemy as a zombie, but as infected, walkers, or whatever: It's not the best list of what games should or should not be included, but at least it's a start. We'll have to put a good definition in the lead, so as to immediately clarify the parameters of the list. When it comes to the Resident Evil debacle, I really don't know how to deal with it, especially since I've never played a Resident Evil game. There's no denying the series' importance to zombie video games, but even then, are zombies the main focus of those games? Finally, I've started to outline what the list would look like with proper formatting and referencing. It's in my sandbox (ignore the bottom part, I'm also working on another list). Famous Hobo (talk) 16:39, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Any game where the primary focus is zombies. By saying this, we remove any game were zombies are just there as one of the dozen or so enemies, like Minecraft. This will also remove most of the Call of Duty games, as zombies mode has never been the primary focus of those games, it has always been multiplayer.
 * 95% of the time, zombies are going to be the enemy, but in games like Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse allow you to play as the zombie. These games should be included.
 * A game included on the list should at least have its own article on Wikipedia
 * Games still in development are fine, like State of Decay 2, although I'm not sure how to deal with cancelled games.
 * The best definition I can come up with for video game zombies is any creature that usually doesn't do anything and just stands around until it sees a human. After that, its sole focus is to eat/attack the human.
 * Creatures that were either originally dead, or are more or less dead inside.
 * There needs to be a distinction between games where a zombie apocalypse is the main (on any scale) versus games that simply have a zombie appear as a random enemy.2601:346:C201:60C0:CCD2:AD4:C55A:A58E (talk) 15:20, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

I would love your help.
I know you are interested in christianity, and I recently started a new wiki over at wikicities which is on the subject of christianity. Christianity Knowledge Base is the site.

The goal is to have a knowledgebase on christianity from a distinctly "C(hristian)POV" rather than the NPOV. This would go far beyond what is allowed on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, for example, there is a limit to how honorably and magnificently the Lord can be represented at WP.

Christianity Knowledge Base is not meant to be a mere Christian Encyclopedia, but to foster a real sense of community. I'd like to include things like current events, news, stories, and anything that would add to both an understanding of Christianity, but also its enjoyment. I'm looking for help to build a resource that could really enrich the lives of Christians.

I know you are busy but I am actively seeking new sysops/admins to help me build this site up, and I would be positively thrilled if you could contribute in any capacity whatsoever. nsandwich 05:51, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Image:FantastikOrangeAction.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:FantastikOrangeAction.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information.

Group isomorphism
Hi Hypercube,

I think the point is that there is an isomorphism between R and C as additive groups, but that the proof doesn't tell you explicitly what it is. It's true that not much is said in that spot about why this is true; might be worth discussing on the talk page whether the article should say more about it.

One fast way to see it, but that hides some of the interesting stuff in other machinery, is to observe that R and C are both vector spaces over the rationals, of the same dimension ($$2^{\aleph_0}$$). So let B_R and B_C be bases (Hamel bases, that is, ordinary vector-space bases) for R and C respectively, as vector spaces over the rationals. Note B_R and B_C have the same cardinality, so there's a bijection h:B_R -> B_C.

Now any real number x can be expressed uniquely as a rational linear combination of elements of B_R. Send it to the same rational linear combination of the corresponding (under h) elements of B_C. There's your group isomorphism.

It might be more enlightening to do a back-and-forth argument between R and C, as a transfinite recursion, after wellordering both of them. But it would require more wordage. --Trovatore (talk) 03:46, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Hypercube. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Hypercube~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:39, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Byrne Dairy

A tag has been placed on Byrne Dairy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.byrnedairy.com/our-company/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Wichita East High School, known locally as "East", is a public secondary school in Wichita, Kansas, United States. It is operated by Wichita USD 259 school district. The centrally located school's 44 acre campus and the building's Collegiate Gothic styling make it an urban landmark. The square footage of the East High campus today is 443,814. East's enrollment for the 2018–19 school year was 2,462, making it the largest high school in Kansas. The school offers the International Baccalaureate program, a magnet program that teaches students at a college level, and which attracts students from across the city. The campus is also home to WSU Tech, a division of Wichita State University which provides technical training and education.

History
Wichita East traces its roots back to 1878, although the current building was completed in 1923. Originally known as Wichita High School, East was the first of seven traditional public high schools to be built in USD 259, Wichita's Unified School District. In 1929, when Wichita North High School was completed, the school's name was changed to Wichita High School East. Originally built on a campus shared with Roosevelt Junior High School, the high school's growing enrollment forced the conversion of the junior high school into a second wing of the high school.

The junior high school and high school were joined by a third structure in 1976–1977, a library and cafeteria that connected the second floor of the two buildings. In 2004, a construction project added a new gymnasium, converted the old gym into the science wing, and provided air conditioning to the entire building, but the renovation removed the building's swimming pool, auto mechanics building and 500 Hall, which housed the wood shops.

In 2011, East added a secondary gym and a new swimming pool. In 2012, the school opened the new performing arts center, featuring a 600-seat theater, instrumental rehearsal spaces and vocal music room.

In 2014, East was ranked the #1 school in the state of Kansas by U.S. News & World Report and the #1 place to work in Wichita by the Wichita Business Journal. In 2017, Architectural Digest named East the most beautiful public high school in the state of Kansas. In 2021, due to structural concerns, science classes were moved into one of the WSU Tech buildings, where they remained until revision of the science wing was completed in summer 2023.

Academics
Wichita High School East is regionally recognized for both academic and athletic success. The school offers both the Wichita Public Schools diploma and the International Baccalaureate Diploma, a magnet diploma that students earn through the International Baccalaureate program. The school also offers many Advanced Placement, Honors, and college preparatory classes. The school also offers the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) program for selective students. East consistently leads Wichita-area schools in academic awards. Both the high school's newspaper, The Messenger, and yearbook, "Echoes", have been recognized in national competitions, and the former is a member of the High School National Ad Network.

East has a large and successful debate and forensics squad and consistently qualifies students for the national tournament. The debate team has won two state championships, in 2011 and 2023. In June 2007, East hosted the debate portion of NFL Nationals. East also has a very successful Scholar's Bowl team winning 4 state championships in 1998, 2004, 2007, and most recently 2011.

Clubs and Activities
East has over 50 clubs and activities in which students can participate. Many clubs embrace diversity, are active in the community, or promote entertainment. Clubs vary from Anime club to National Honor Society to Students Against Prejudice. Students can participate in school-centered activities like STUCO (student council) or follow personal interests in clubs like Tai Chi, Students Against Prejudice, the Young Democrats, or Ultimate Frisbee Club. The Big Do, a club fair held after school one evening each September, consists of all student organizations gathering on the front lawn to sell food and host activities. Every spring, East High holds "Aces in the Community," a day in which all students and faculty go out into Wichita to perform community service.

Athletics
East High holds 96 state championships with all their sports teams combined. Athletically, East is home to a consistently competitive basketball program that has 9 state championships. In addition, the Blue Aces football team, who have won 4 state championships, has been increasingly successful in recent years due to leadership changes as well as two highly acclaimed and heavily recruited brothers, Arthur (Class of 2008) and Bryce Brown (Class of 2009). East's football team was Wichita State’s opponent in the first game in the program’s history. East's Boys Swimming and Diving team has also won 14 State Championships, most recently one in 2013. East athletics compete in the Greater Wichita Athletic League against the city's seven largest public high schools and two private Catholic high schools. East is a 6A school, the largest size recognized by the Kansas High School Athletics Association. Since 1928, East High teams have been known as the Blue Aces, and the school is represented by its mascot, Max, a World War I flying ace with an oversized head and a pronounced cleft chin. The schools colors are Navy Blue and White with Columbia Blue as a third color.

Boys Basketball
East High is known for its historically successful boys basketball team. The team's tradition for success dates back to its 1915 state title, and has continued over 100 years to its 2015 Kansas 6A state title, a season during which the Aces posted an overall record of 24-1 and an average margin of victory of 23.7 points. 2015 marked the third consecutive year the Aces qualified for the state basketball tournament, as well as the Aces' second state title in 10 years and the third since 2002. The Aces play home games in the East gym, which has a seating capacity of 2,400.

National Championship
The 1925 boys basketball team won the National Interscholastic Basketball Tournament in Chicago. The tournament was an attempt by Amos Alonzo Stagg to create a national high school champion which lasted from 1917 to 1930 before school administrators intervened to oppose the concept of a national tournament. Wichita defeated El Reno High School 27–6 in the final.

Hey. I'd give you the standard welcome message, but since you're already a member of the Spanish WP, I think you already know your way around the concept.

That said, it's always good to have more people on board. Benvenido! DS 03:38, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Huinca. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Huinca~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:38, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Neuro-linguistic programming

Summary
Group A: Dispute is mainly over removal of cited fact, but also extends to dispute over whether the article should contain multi-viewpoints, or a narrow Grinder/Bandler viewpoint. Non-pro-NLP editors believe that the article should remain multi-viewpoint.

Group B: Dispute is mainly over the lack of describing NLP as common NLP books describe itself - focussing instead on descriptions from other fields, books on cults, skeptics dictionary etc, and their judgements.

Dispute
Group A: The pro-NLP group keep demanding excessive evidence on the concept of engrams (a widely accepted neurology concept, and named in NLP literature (at least 7 credible published book/academic paper sources of direct mention of engrams, with all of NLP books describing engrams, and with many other credible web sources of direct mention). They (or more specifically user:Comaze especially) removes the facts on engrams from the NLP article on a regular basis (for over a month).  A "viewofall" page was provided during mediation a few weeks ago, and this included engrams in the opening paragraph.  The engram facts have actually been removed by non-pro-NLP editors as a compromise, but as the compromise was not met (more extensive deletion of cited facts), the engram facts were restored.   Recent discussion has led to the majority view of engrams being named directly in most NLP theory, and the experiential aspects of engrams being used throughout every book on NLP known to the editors.

Group B: We would like even one reference from a common NLP book mentioning Engrams. We accept that Engrams is a term used in psych, and some non-NLP books mention it, if we had one credible/common/popular NLP book at least we could acknowledge it as a minority view of NLP. Similar issues exist throughout the article, with a focus on what a psychologist says NLP says (secondary source), in preference to going to common NLP books (primary source). The definition should come from NLP, the outside response should come from outside. There is also repetition of negative POVs and continual links of NLP to pseudoscience, EST, dianetics, etc. Spirituality is portrayed as a major part of NLP, rather than a context some practitioners apply NLP processes to. Articles cited are often dubious quality, and some quality articles are quoted out of context.

Group A: Presently, the page is undergoing NPOVing with the prompting of a new editor. The banning of user:Comaze has been proposed as a solution due to flagrant disregard for NPOV over months, and due to user:Comaze's antagonistic behavior, even to other pro-NLP editors.

Group B: When our ideas differed and neither group was really saying what they wanted, the page split into 2 parallel versions. We were pleased with some of the merging achieved a week back, but the page is sliding back into a simple attack (though it's worded better each time!). We continue to improve the parallel (temp) page as our attempt at true NPOV. Some users did propose Comaze's banning, though I'm sure both sides would like to ban people in the other group.

Griff's Hamburgers

Griff's Hamburgers, or Griff's Burger Bar, is a regional fast food chain founded in 1960 by Griff's of America, Inc. of Kansas City, Missouri, United States. At one time they had locations nationwide with the majority in the South near highway exits.

Griff's was named for the founder, HJ Griffith.

The restaurant buildings were of a patented A-frame design, produced by Valentine Diner of Wichita, Kansas. Later restaurants sported more conventional architecture. A bright yellow sign read HAMBURGERS in big block capitals. The restaurants offered both drive-thrus and patio dining.

Most of the stores were located in high traffic locations, such as near a highway off-ramp, or along Route 66. There was one on the corner of Caruthers and Independence in Cape Girardeau, Missouri in the 1960s, catty corner from old Central High School.

Cory Griffin Great Grandson of Griffs Founder Harold Griffith Relocated the Corporate headquarters for Griff's and change its name to now Griffs of America based in Dallas, Texas, and stores remain open in Bossier City, Ruston and Shreveport, Louisiana; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Dallas, Fort Worth, Haltom City, Garland, Irving, Mesquite, and San Antonio, Texas. A location in Sedalia, Missouri closed in late 2011, and locations in Colorado closed in 2015.

The restaurant chain was featured in multiple installments of the Zippy the Pinhead comic strip; on November 15, 2004, February 10, 2005 December 19, 2006, and September 2, 2007.

Severin Roesen

Severin Roesen (c. 1815 in Boppard – c. 1872) was a Prussian-American painter known for his abundant fruit and flower still lifes, and is today recognized as one of the major American painters in that genre from the nineteenth century.

Life

Born to Stephanus and Margaretha (née Krebs) in Boppard, Prussia (now Germany), Severin Roesen was born in 1815 and baptized on February 5, 1816. Little is known of his early life and education, though he married Sophia Jacobina Lambricht (born January 22, 1824) on March 10, 1847 at Sankt Kastor Katholisch, Koblenz Stadt, Rheinland. While working as a porcelain painter in Cologne, Roesen exhibited a floral painting at the Cologne local art club in 1847. He and Sophia arrived in Dover, England on December 27, 1847, and from there emigrated to New York, arriving on February 4, 1848, exhibiting eleven paintings there at the American Art-Union over the next five years. Sophia died soon after their arrival in America, and on October 30, 1849, Roesen married Wilhelmine Ludwig (born 1831 in Alzey, Prussia), with whom he went on to have three children; Minnie (born 1854), Oscar (born 1857), and a third child (name and birth date unknown). The marriage took place at the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saint Matthew in New York City, and Roesen supported the family through sales of his paintings to both private buyers and the American Art Union, as well as through teaching still-life painting. Roesen left his family and moved to Pennsylvania in 1857. He lived briefly in Philadelphia, and then moved to rural German-American communities in Harrisburg, Huntingdon, and finally Williamsport, where he settled around 1863. During this period, he also exhibited works at the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore in 1858, at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1863, and at the Brooklyn Art Association in 1873.

The Williamsport Sun and Banner reported in 1895, "His studio was much frequented by his friends, who would sit all day with this genial, well-read and generous companion, smoking his pipes and drinking his beer, which he was seldom without. In one corner of the finished painting would always appear the faint outline of a beer glass, and when a customer objected to its presence, he would say, 'Why, do you not like beer?' and then take it out." A large number of Roesen's paintings were discovered in Williamsport. His pictures of nature's abundance found a ready market in the town's growing population (many of German descent) of prosperous merchants and lumbermen, who purchased them to adorn their newly built homes as well as taverns, restaurants, and hotels. One hotelier and brewer, Jacob Flock, owned more than fifty paintings by Roesen, which the artist appears to have traded for lodging and beer.

Roesen's last dated painting is from 1872, at which point all records of his life and residence cease. Information about his life thereafter, as well as the date and place of his death, remains unknown.

Work
Over three hundred still life paintings by Roesen have been recorded, of which only about two dozen are dated.

While Roesen's paintings reveal a meticulous attention to detail in their precise arrangements and close brushwork, his subject matter, even down to specific motifs, did not change throughout his career. Sometimes he made near-identical copies of paintings, but usually he merely rearranged and reassembled stock elements.

Numerous items in Fruit and Wine Glass, for example, also appear in other paintings. A footed dessert plate full of strawberries is a common motif. A pilsner glass, sometimes accompanied by an open bottle of champagne, is interchangeable with a wine goblet filled with lemonade used elsewhere. The glass is nearly always placed at the lower left edge of the painting; a halved lemon often appears nearby. Branches full of grapes arranged from lower left to upper right provide the composition with a graceful S-curve and subtly lead the viewer's eye over the entire display. Here the composition is balanced by light and dark grapes at either side and filled in by scattered raspberries, cherries, peaches, apples, pears, and apricots. Many of these compositional elements, if not the items depicted, were derived from seventeenth-century Dutch still life paintings by such artists as Jan van Huysum.
