    1. Tagging systems have sometimes been classified into two kinds: top-down and bottom-up.[3]:142[4]:24 Top-down taxonomies are created by an authorized group of designers (sometimes in the form of a controlled vocabulary), whereas bottom-up taxonomies (called folksonomies) are created by all users.
    2. People use tags to aid classification, mark ownership, note boundaries, and indicate online identity. Tags may take the form of words, images, or other identifying marks. An analogous example of tags in the physical world is museum object tagging. People were using textual keywords to classify information and objects long before computers. Computer based search algorithms made the use of such keywords a rapid way of exploring records.
    1. [edit] The choice tag is used to represent sections of text which might be encoded or tagged in more than one possible way. In the following example, based on one in the standard, choice is used twice, once to indicate an original and a corrected year and once to indicate an original and regularised spelling.[10]

    1. Player A's role is to trick the interrogator into making the wrong decision, while player B attempts to assist the interrogator in making the right one.

      Why are these roles gendered, the man always dissembling, the woman assisting?

    1. An underlying theme in much of the work in the field is that existing government regulation of copyright, security, and antitrust is inappropriate in the modern world. For example, information goods, such as news articles and movies, now have zero marginal costs of production and sharing. This has made the redistribution without permission common and has increased competition between providers of information goods.
    1. flagged for deletion

      I'd remove this. YOu'd be amazed how frivolously some things are flagged for deletion. But, maybe there's something else to substitute to give a specific criterion.

    2. links

      Will there be a public and/or private venue for people to ask questions, get help, and discuss challenges they're working through? How about a list of resources and reference materials?

    3. Contents

      Needs lead section/overview (I'm sure you realize) As of now, the broad vision seems absent from the document, and I think it's important and should feature prominently. Express the goals and the supporting research right up front.

    4. encouraged

      I'd be happy to make a short, project-specific screencast on how to do it, if you'd like. It'd be good to have resources available for people to do this.

    5. all pages must include:

      Good list. A couple things to consider: (a) For contests, people are used to having very specific criteria. Maybe better to say "include at least 10 of the following 12" than to say "include all but here are a couple possible exceptions". That way people know if they "qualify".

      (b) this one is somewhat in tension. What if no [[WP:RS]] exist for some of these items? You should probably speak to that explicitly: "Abandon this stub and start an article on a new paper instead," or "Do the best you can and document the shortcomings on the talk page," or...what?

    6. Criteria for Newspaper Inclusion

      Needs slightly more clarity about the overlapping criteria (Wikipedia's criteria vs. your project's criteria), and maybe some subtle softerning of language.

    7. initial pilot

      If you're going to describe it this way, you should really include a bit more info about what a next phase might look like. Assume there are at least a couple people out there who will assume the worst, and make noise about it. More info about the overall vision will help.

    8. To introduce students and citizens to the process of editing WIkipedia.

      Say a little more? Seems there are two kinds of goals here: (a) recruiting and retaining editors (holy grail) and (b) increasing literacy about how Wikipedia and wikis work. Maybe two separate bullets?

    9. To increase the quality and reliability of Google "panels" and Wikipedia articles to web readers investigating a paper's credibility.

      Consider reversing order (put Wikipedia first)

    10. To model a new (or somewhat new) form of partnership between researchers, educators, and public supporters of the Wikipedia community.

      This could probably use a little work

    1. In website design, it was important to combine the interests of different stakeholders: marketing, branding, visual design, and usability. Marketing and branding people needed to enter the interactive world where usability was important. Usability people needed to take marketing, branding, and aesthetic needs into account when designing websites. User experience provided a platform to cover the interests of all stakeholders: making web sites easy to use, valuable, and effective for visitors. This is why several early user experience publications focus on website user experience

      maybe it's because I have no idea what there terms are, and even if I read the descriptions it seems like a complicated topic, but I feel like the curators of this page threw in a bunch of definitions from the medical textbooks or encyclopedias they used. For wiki, this is actually impressive, but for people who are looking for a quick and easy explanation might be thrown off.

    1. For example, funding agencies may be more interested in performance measures related to the translation of team research findings to practical applications, whereas team researchers may use the number of publications produced and amount grant funding obtained to gauge the success of a team science endeavor. In addition, the method of evaluation and metrics of success may vary at different points during the team research project. Short-term measures may include indicators of synergistic output, whereas long-term measures may be related to the impact of the research on the evolution of a discipline or the development of public policy.

    1. Describing the creation of Superorganism's songs, Orono Noguchi says, "It usually starts with us listening to music and talking about music, art, and all kinds of stuff in the kitchen. Then, one of us would come up with a very basic idea for a song. We'd then send the file back and forth among the group and add on some random ideas that we have. We'd keep working on it until we have a final product."[9] "We've got the guy making the videos downstairs, mixing in the other room, [and] singing going on [elsewhere]," Harry says in regards to their live-in studio. "We've created this kind of warped version of a pop production house."[1]
    1. The CBO has indicated that: "Future growth in spending per beneficiary for Medicare and Medicaid—the federal government’s major health care programs—will be the most important determinant of long-term trends in federal spending. Changing those programs in ways that reduce the growth of costs—which will be difficult, in part because of the complexity of health policy choices—is ultimately the nation’s central long-term challenge in setting federal fiscal policy."

      the trend is troubling

    2. Certain entitlement programs, because the language authorizing them are included in appropriation bills, are termed "appropriated entitlements." This is a convention rather than a substantive distinction, since the programs, such as Food Stamps, would continue to be funded even if the appropriation bill were to be vetoed or otherwise not enacted.

      "appropriated entitlements" seems best descriptor

    1. The New International Economic Order (NIEO) was a set of proposals put forward during the 1970s by some developing countries through the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) to promote their interests by improving their terms of trade, increasing development assistance, developed-country tariff reductions, and other means. It was meant to be a revision of the international economic system in favour of Third World countries, replacing the Bretton Woods system, which had benefited the leading states that had created it – especially the United States. This order was demanded by the Non-Aligned Movement.

    1. After seeing limited playing time during the first part of the season, Green was placed on the Fayetteville Patriots of the NBA D-League by the Celtics in January 2006. He was recalled and activated to an NBA roster position on February 3. He was reassigned to the NBDL, to the Florida Flame, on February 16. He was recalled and activated again on February 21, and saw his first significant NBA game action on the following night, scoring 13 points and grabbing 9 rebounds in 23 minutes.

      It is interesting to see how he came up from the D-League and became an NBA all-star. He had to start as a nobody and turn himself into a somebody. His rookie year he didn't get to play or score a lot but then he turned himself into a scoring machine. It was like he couldn't be guarded and it was all because of how hard he pushed himself.

    1. Derivative[edit] The derivative for a curve of order n is B ′ ( t ) = n ∑ i = 0 n − 1 b i , n − 1 ( t ) ( P i + 1 − P i ) {\displaystyle \mathbf {B} '(t)=n\sum _{i=0}^{n-1}b_{i,n-1}(t)(\mathbf {P} _{i+1}-\mathbf {P} _{i})}

      $B(n, t) = \displaystyle \sum_{i=0}^n {n \choose i} (1-t)^{n-i}t^iP_i$ for points $Pi$, then $$\begin{align} B^{'}(n, t) &= \sum{i=0}^n {n \choose i}\left[i(1-t)^{n-i}t^{i-1} -(n-i)(1-t)^{n-i-1}t^i \right]Pi \ &= \underbrace{\sum{i=0}^n {n \choose i}i(1-t)^{n-i}t^{i-1}Pi}{1^{st}\text{ term vanishes}} - \underbrace{\sum_{i=0}^n {n \choose i}(n-i)(1-t)^{n-i-1}t^iPi}{n^{th}\text{ term vanishes}}\

      &= \sum_{i=1}^n {n \choose i}i(1-t)^{n-i}t^{i-1}Pi - \sum{i=0}^{n-1} {n \choose i}(n-i)(1-t)^{n-i-1}t^iPi\ &= \sum{i=0}^{n-1} {n \choose i+1}(i+1)(1-t)^{n-i-1}t^iP{i+1} - \sum{i=0}^{n-1} {n \choose i}(n-i)(1-t)^{n-i-1}t^iPi\ &= n\sum{i=0}^{n-1} {n-1 \choose i}(1-t)^{(n-1)-i}t^iP{i+1} - n\sum{i=0}^{n-1} {n-1 \choose i}(1-t)^{(n-1)-i}t^iPi\ &= n\sum{i=0}^{n-1} {n-1 \choose i}(1-t)^{(n-1)-i}t^i(P_{i+1} - P_i) \end{align}$$

      which is equal to $nB(n-1, t)$ with points $\left(P_{i+1} - P_i\right)$

    1. In psychology, it is common to realize that the theoretical foundation has devolved, and that information can not change since it comes directly from the authors, but after so many years if it is possible to publish advances and theoretical updates, this section would be useful to attach current information of researches and didactic documents that could be taken to the 21st century classrooms

    1. From a production standpoint, transmedia storytelling involves creating content[3] that engages an audience using various techniques to permeate their daily lives.[4] In order to achieve this engagement, a transmedia production will develop stories across multiple forms of media in order to deliver unique pieces of content in each channel. Importantly, these pieces of content are not only linked together (overtly or subtly), but are in narrative synchronization with each other.

    1. Green originally committed to Oklahoma State University, but later decided to enter the NBA Draft upon graduation. He hired an agent, thereby making himself ineligible to participate in NCAA athletics.

      In cases like this. Once you hire an Agent to enter the draft, you automatically become ineligable for any other NCAA sports. If a player were no to get drafted in the current years draft, they are left with 2 options; train for next years draft or they could sign with a team in free agency and hopefully get picked up in the summer.

    1. The word "iambic" refers to the type of foot that is used, known as the iamb, which in English is an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable.

      Is there really a correct way of saying something? According to the Iambic Pentameter, there are more than a few ways of distinguishing the stressed syllable within a word. "Iambic" in particular refers to the first syllable pf a word as stressed. Well, what about those with non-similar accents? If a person from Los Angeles were to attempt to say the same word as someone from Virginia just in different accents, I ask which syllable would be stressed more than the other?

    1. eria "Da Michele" in Via C. Sersale (founded 1870),[21] consider there to be only two true pizzas—the marinara and the margherita—and that is all they serve. These two "pure" pizzas are the ones preferred by many Italians today. The marinara is the older of the two and has a topping of tomato, oregano, garlic, and extra virgin olive oil. It is named “marinara” because it was traditionally the food prepared by "la marinara", the seaman's wife, for her seafaring husband when he returned from fishing trips in the Bay of Naples. The margherita is topped with modest amounts of tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and fresh basil. It is widely attributed to baker Raffaele Esposito, who worked at "Pizzeria di Pietro", established in 1880. Though recent research casts doubt on this legend,[22] the tale hol

    2. ld in the street and was not considered a kitchen recipe for a long time.[12] This was later replaced by oil, tomatoes (after Europeans came into contact with the Americas) or fish. In 1843, Alexandre Dumas, père, described the diversity of pizza toppings.[13] An often recounted story holds that on 11 June 1889, to honour the Queen consort of Italy, Margherita of Savoy, the Neapolitan pizzamaker Raffaele Esposito created the "Pizza Margherita", a pizza garnished with tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil, to represent the national colours of Italy as on the Italian flag.[14][15][16] Pizza is now a type of bread and tomato dish, often served with cheese. However, until the late nineteenth or early twentieth century, the dish was sweet, not savory, and earlier versions which were savory more resembled the flat breads now known as schiacciata.[17] Pellegrino Artusi's classic early-twentieth-century cookbook, La Scienza in cucina e l'Arte di mangiar bene gives three recipes for pizza, all of which are sweet.[18] However, by 1927, Ada Boni's collection of regional cooking includes a recipe using tomatoes and mozzarella.[19] Innovation[edit] The innovation that led to flat bread pizza was the use of tomato as a topping. For some time after the tomato was brought to Europe from the Americas in the 16th century, it was believed by many Europeans to be poisonous (as some other fruits of the nightshade family are). However, by the late 18th century, it was common for the poor of the area around Naples to add tomato to their yeast-based flat bread, and so the pizza began.[citation needed] The dish gained popularity, and soon pizza became a tourist attraction as visitors to Naples ventured into the poorer areas of the city to try the local specialty.

    1. On March 22, 2017, during the House Intelligence Committee's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections, Nunes held a press conference to announce that he had received information that communications of members of Trump's transition team had been "incidentally collected" by the intelligence community. The communications had been obtained legally during foreign intelligence surveillance, but were not related to Russia. He added that the information was "widely disseminated" in the intelligence community, and later clarified that Trump associates were not necessarily participants in the intercepted conversations.[62] Nunes was widely criticized for sharing this information with the media and the president before briefing his colleagues on the committee.[63] According to Nunes, the intercepted communications came in November, December and January – after Trump won the election but before he was sworn in as president.[64] Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the committee, and House Democratic leadership called on Nunes to recuse himself from the investigation.[6] He also received criticism from Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham.[65] The latter compared Nunes's actions to those of the comically incompetent fictional character Inspector Clouseau.[66]

    1. The Service Design (SD) volume[6] provides good-practice guidance on the design of IT services, processes, and other aspects of the service management effort. Significantly, design within ITIL is understood to encompass all elements relevant to technology service delivery, rather than focusing solely on design of the technology itself. As such, service design addresses how a planned service solution interacts with the larger business and technical environments, service management systems required to support the service, processes which interact with the service, technology, and architecture required to support the service, and the supply chain required to support the planned service. Within ITIL, design work for an IT service is aggregated into a single Service Design Package (SDP). Service design packages, along with other information about services, are managed within the service catalogues.

The Service Strategy lifecycle stage is often considered as the core of the service lifecycle. In Service Strategy stage, the strategic approach for the whole lifecycle is identified to provide values to the customers through IT service management. Key topics covered include service value definition, business-case development, service assets, market analysis, and service provider types. List of covered processes:

    1. Additionally Michael Schuman of Time magazine noted that these banks kept injecting new funds into unprofitable "zombie firms" to keep them afloat, arguing that they were too big to fail. However, most of these companies were too debt-ridden to do much more than survive on bail-out funds. Schuman believed that Japan's economy did not begin to recover until this practice had ended.

      Seems like the root cause of this baron period

    2. Trying to deflate speculation and keep inflation in check, the Bank of Japan sharply raised inter-bank lending rates in late 1989.[11] This sharp policy caused the bursting of the bubble and the Japanese stock market crashed.

    1. the E-3 visa is renewable indefinitely (in two-year increments); and that the application process is much quicker. Australian citizens applying for an E-3 visa are also no longer subject to the 65,000 annual visa limit for H-1B visas; although there is a separate annual quota of 10,500 E-3 visas, this is believed to be much more generous to Australians than requiring them to compete with all other nations for H-1B visas.

    1. Socratic questioning (or Socratic maieutics)[1] is disciplined questioning that can be used to pursue thought in many directions and for many purposes, including: to explore complex ideas, to get to the truth of things, to open up issues and problems, to uncover assumptions, to analyze concepts, to distinguish what we know from what we don't know, to follow out logical implications of thought or to control the discussion. The key to distinguishing Socratic questioning from questioning per se is that Socratic questioning is systematic, disciplined, deep and usually focuses on fundamental concepts, principles, theories, issues or problems.

    1. The Solow–Swan model augmented with human capital predicts that the income levels of poor countries will tend to catch up with or converge towards the income levels of rich countries if the poor countries have similar savings rates for both physical capital and human capital as a share of output, a process known as conditional convergence.

      Income convergence of the poor and rich people will happen conditional on them enjoying similar savings rates. Otherwise, it might not happen.

    1. Unlike some theories, which focus on top-down goal-setting, GTD works in the opposite direction. Allen argues that it is often difficult for individuals to focus on big picture goals if they cannot sufficiently control the day-to-day tasks that they frequently must face.[1]:54 By developing and using the trusted system that deals with day-to-day inputs, an individual can free up mental space to begin moving up to the next level.

    1. On 31 October 1517, Luther wrote to his bishop, Albrecht von Brandenburg, protesting the sale of indulgences. He enclosed in his letter a copy of his "Disputation of Martin Luther on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences", which came to be known as the Ninety-five Theses. Hans Hillerbrand writes that Luther had no intention of confronting the church, but saw his disputation as a scholarly objection to church practices, and the tone of the writing is accordingly "searching, rather than doctrinaire."[32] Hillerbrand writes that there is nevertheless an undercurrent of challenge in several of the theses, particularly in Thesis 86, which asks: "Why does the pope, whose wealth today is greater than the wealth of the richest Crassus, build the basilica of St. Peter with the money of poor believers rather than with his own money?"
