I have added a "{{[[Template:prod|prod]]}}" template to the article [[Forum (education)]], suggesting that it be deleted according to the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "[[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|What Wikipedia is not]]" and [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|Wikipedia's deletion policy]]). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at [[Talk:Forum (education)|its talk page]]. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Articles for Deletion]], where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion criteria]].

The article [[M. Christian]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]  because of the following concern:
Cb, I've reverted a large proportion of your recent changes. Take it a little slower next time you feel an urge to make such large-scale changes, and maybe you'll get some help in deciding if it's the right thing to do. In this case, distinguishing electrical from electronic is what you forgot. [[User:Dicklyon|Dicklyon]] 21:39, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

OK, here’s the deal. I found a mess and started cleaning it up. It's a big job. All searches for '''electronic circuit''' or any of its synonyms ended up on "Electrical Networks", which itself was a mess. Here's what I wrote on the talk page there:

:This page used to be redirected to Electrical Networks, along with about 650 other pages. Electrical Networks are usually thought of as electrical distribution networks, the things with lots of big towers and high-voltage power lines. There also seems to be some sort of collection of electrical components NOT arranged in a loop, but which seems to have no practical application (it doesn’t do anything). Also, plenty of distinct concepts were redirected to this page instead of being explained in their own right, such as Circuit Theory. Circuit Theory was even added to the list of To Do pages. Adding to the confusion is the fact that Electric Circuit, Electronic Circuit and Electrical Circuit all mean the same thing.


== Reviewer granted ==
:I took it upon myself to clean things up. I left a message on the talk page advising that I was going to do it, and nobody objected. The task ended up being bigger than I thought, but at least I could make a dent in it.

:The plan is to start off rearranging the redirects and move the existing text to this page from Electrical networks. Then I will plow through the What Links Here pages, directing things either here or to other pages where it makes more sense. I will put some short text in appropriate places, together with stub tags.
Hello. Your account has been granted the "{{mono|reviewer}}" userright, allowing you to [[WP:Reviewing|review other users' edits]] on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a [[WP:Pending changes|two-month trial]] scheduled to end 15 August 2010.


Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not [[wp:autoconfirmed|autoconfirmed]] to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only [[Special:StablePages|a small number of articles]], similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at [[Special:OldReviewedPages]].
I left a few comments on a few of the pages I edited, but it's too much to leave comments everywhere.


When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious [[WP:VAND|vandalism]] or [[WP:BLP|BLP violations]], and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see [[Wikipedia:Reviewing process]]). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found [[WP:Pending changes|here]].
'''If you have comments about any of my changes, please let me know, but follow this protocol:''' Write the full text of your comments on the talk page of the affected Wikipedia page, and leave me a one-line note here, referring me to the page you are interested in.


If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. <!-- Template:Reviewer-notice --> [[User:Calmer Waters|<span style="color:black">'''''Calmer'''''</span>]] [[User talk:Calmer Waters|<span style="color:Blue">'''''Waters'''''</span>]] 14:35, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

==General circuit theory==
I guess, you read the Bibliography section where I listed all the book/lectures notes, I used in this writing. This writing is actually a "cocktail" off all of three components WITH MY THOUGHTS.
'''All three things, tell nothing about circuit generalization'''.
Their purpose is completely different:
HEre they are:
**ALgorythms in C++ by Robert Sedgewick
**Electric Circuits (unknown author) Chapter 5
**Electromechanical Devices course manual, by Peter B. from New York City COllege of Technology.
*Peter B. is my current teacher, in NYC COllege of Technology, where I am [[continuing education]] now. By the way, on monday I have a final with him.
*Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_circuit_theory"
The text may look like lecture notes, since its style is very close to it.
===Do you think===
that some of American Colleges has a course on "General Circuit theory" and I copied lecture notes...?
*To oppose this, I can state you that I'd wish to be a student of such a course. Tell me where is it? I'd wish to take it.
*Or, speaking in other words, IT IS A COURSE invented by me. The problem is that I am not a professor, so there is no audience. I have merely BS in Computer Science from [[Polytechnic University of New York]]

I'm wondering, is there a reason why you're creating images of several templates instead of subst'ing them directly onto your talk page? If you subst them, you can then go in and remove the categories and whatnot so your userpage is not included in all of those categories. --[[User:Icarus3|Icarus]] <sup>([[User_talk:Icarus3|Hi!]])</sup> 06:22, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
: Yeah, thanks for noticing. I wanted the images to appear on my userpage, but I don't want the userpage to appear in any of the automatically generated categories. As far as I know, there is no way to "edit" the automatic category off of a page while still retaining the template tag. Is there a special procedure for this? You mention "subst" - what is it? Thanks.[[User:Cbdorsett|Cbdorsett]] 06:42, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
::See [[WP:SUBST]]. In short, substitution (subst, for short) is a way to copy the text and markup that generates the template directly to the article/page where the template is. After you save the page with the subst'd templates, you can edit the page again to remove the categories. It's a little strange to try to explain, but try it out and you'll see. The way you subst a template is just to add "subst:" to it (i.e. typing <nowiki>{{subst:template name}}</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>{{template name}}</nowiki>.
::If you do this, the images you've created won't be necessary, so you can then add <nowiki>{{db-author}}</nowiki> to their pages to get them deleted. --[[User:Icarus3|Icarus]] <sup>([[User_talk:Icarus3|Hi!]])</sup> 06:48, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
:::Great! Thanks for the tip. [[User:Cbdorsett|Cbdorsett]] 06:51, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Well, you did half the job :) You subst'ed the templates, but didn't then edit out the ccategory links (I just did). I also corrected the info about where stub templates should go. BTW, you might also want to add {{tl|sectstub}}, used when just one section of an article needs work (it's put at the bottom of the section that needs expanding). Also, a couple of tricks - if you want to show the name ofa cateegorry as a link without adding the page too the category, type <nowiki>[[:Category:Categoryname]]</nowiki>, with a colon at the beginning. It'll add a link like this [[:Category:Stubs]]. For templates, you can do the same by writing <nowiki>{{tl|templatename}}</nowiki> - it appears as a link like this {{tl|stub}}.

Hi Cbdorsett. I usually add any films screened at one of the major film festivals (Cannes, Berlin, Venice, etc) to the relevant film list article.

Hi Cbdorsett,

I noticed your comment on the Coriolis effect talk page.
<blockquote> "centrifugal force" and "Coriolis force" - neither one of these is a force"</blockquote>


Hi! I saw that you created {{tl|ISO639ANC}} and {{tl|ISO639HIS}}. Since my bot is currently replacing {{tl|ISO639COL}} and related templates with {{tl|ISO 639-3 style}}, I assume the creation of the former was a misunderstanding between us.

== ESaaS ==
I maintain a [http://www.cleonis.nl/physics/phys256/physics.php website of my own] with articles about physics subjects, and a series of four of them is about the Coriolis effect as taken into account in meteorology. In my articles I use animations to illustrate the concepts. Some of the articles of my website contain material that was also uploaded by me to wikipedia.


Thanks for your edit to [[ESaaS]]. I have added a reference but it looks as though the term has been coined by a single company, although it might become more widely used in the future. [[User:Biscuittin|Biscuittin]] ([[User talk:Biscuittin|talk]]) 09:12, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
Will you please have a look at my website, and tell me whether you agree with what is presented there about the Coriolis effect?


== Birds are dinosaurs ==
In the long term, I'd like to edit the wikipedia Coriolis effect article. In order to do that I need to build support among wikipedians for the edits I think are in order.


There is a strong scientific consensus that birds are dinosaurs, as has been debated as nauseum on the various relevant talk pages. The few "scientists" who oppose this view usually resort to creationist-like methods of debate, and have in the case of Alan Feduccia fought a sorry retreat over the last two decades ("birds are not theropods because the theropods have no feathers" became "many theropods are birds, and not dinosaurs, because they are feathered" LOL). If you have any evidence that birds indeed are not dinosaurs, please post on the talk page. [[User:HMallison|HMallison]] ([[User talk:HMallison|talk]]) 19:14, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
(I have edited the Coriolis effect article in the past (only the image survived), but back then I didn't understand the Coriolis effect in the way that I do now; this didn't help my credibility.

==Your feedback is requested==
: Let's start with a point on the Northern hemisphere - maybe 20 or 30 degrees N of the equator. Let's shine some heat on it. In time, the air at that point will heat up and expand. When it expands, it becomes less dense, so it rises. Nearby air which is not so heated (maybe because of cloud cover, which reflects light and heat back out into space) remains more dense, so it stays near the ground. However, the rising of the packet of air we talked about first creates lower pressure because the air is moving away (upward). Though the nearby air packets are at the same pressure they were before, that pressure is now ''relatively'' high (relative to the pressure of the rising packet). The high pressure air pushes into the place where the low pressure air is rising from.
[[File:書.svg|80px|thumb|link=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Writing_systems#Poll_on_the_future_of_WikiProject_Writing_Systems]]


: Now, we're talking about a lot of air here, packets that might be 1,000 km across. It takes a lot of time for the packet to move 1,000 km.

: Here's where the Coriolis effect becomes apparent. All the time that these neighboring packets of cold, high-pressure air are traveling, the good old Earth is rotating underneath. So now we have two objects that are moving: the packet of air and the Earth. What happens? Let's just consider a packet directly to the north of the rising packet. It begins motion in a straight south direction - directly toward the center of the rising packet. While it travels south, the surface of the Earth is moving toward the East.

::: I really don't know what you want from me. I in fact checked out your website and found it hard going. It does not help matters that you use the scientific term "Coriolis effect" interchangeably with the folk term "Coriolis force", and you mention both centripetal and centrifugal as forces. You asked me about the Coriolis effect, and that is what I answered. If you had asked me about atmospheric dynamics, my answer would have been quite different. Are you asking for my opinion about the Coriolis effect or atmospheric dynamics? Are you asking for a general review of the reams of material on your website, or are you asking a specific question?

I wrote the description of the [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Coriolis_effect10.png schematic representation of cyclonic flow] in 2005, and rereading it I notice it does contain the expression 'coriolis force'. Back then I had conformed to a usage that I have come to disapprove more and more.

:::: The current wikipedia [[Coriolis effect]] article is contradicting itself. It states the following two things:
:::: A) That the coriolis force is a fictitious force B) That air mass will go into cyclonic flow around a low pressure area, instead of flowing straight down the pressure gradient, due to the Coriolis force. That means that the article states that a fictitious force is counteracting a physical force - which is impossible.

Imitations


{{Ivmbox|Hello, Cbdorsett. Voting in the '''[[WP:ACE2017|2017 Arbitration Committee elections]]''' is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 10 December.

Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
An imitation (an "after"coining ?) is a contemporary copy, often in good silver, made far from the coining location stamped on the coin. The most common "stamping location" (?) on early imitations is Madînat as- Salâm, i.e. Baghdad, but they are made in Russia. The khazarian (?) "empire" (or contry ?), between the Black Sea and the Caspian could, thanks to its position, benefit from the commerce between northerners/vikings and moslem merchants. A Khazarian imitation with a tamgha (a clan- or family mark), here in the form of a branch. It is usually associated with Turkish tribes. ”Madînat as-Salâm 803-4” (Coin 12).

”Moses is Gods messenger" is written in Arabian on one coin (coin 14). Moses is the figurehead of the Jews. The writing is a parallell to the islamic confession of faith ”Mohammed is Gods messenger" on the islamic coins (see coin 5). The phrase ”Moses is Gods messenger” is known from earlier, from four coins from other treasures. The fictive stamping/coin location is ”Madînat as-Salâm 779-80”. The now discovered fifth coin has been stamped with (at?) a different "side stamp" (åtsidesstamp ?), ”Madînat as-Salâm 766-67”. Through this stamp all the Moses coins can be connected to a chain of stamps where the "coining location name" (?) Ard al- Khazar (Land of Khazars) 837-38 is included (see coin 13). From written sources we have the knowledge that the khazarian king and his court converted to Judaism.

== Arabic grammar ==

Hi,

Thanks for your comments: yes, I'm aware of [[WP:3RR]], and check myself against it every now and then. It's getting to the point where this user should be blocked for a while, but this would not be very effective, as they tend to edit only once or twice a day, and a block would not last more than 24 hours, I would imagine: it's not the typical type of vandalism. May be they just want us to finish off the job of fixing the transcriptions. BTW, do you know of a policy on Arbaic transliteration? Some articles use IPA, others a variation on the more traditional system used for Arabic, which is fine for semiticists but not so great for most others. I think I probably use the latter for Standard Arabic, more IPA for dialects, but am not sure this is the best solution. [[User:Drmaik|Drmaik]] 08:23, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi,

Thanks for the message. I'll leave it alone for a little while.

== Citation tag - Numerolgy in Science article ==

Hi Cbdorsett! Here is the reason why I consider the citation tag silly:

Firstly, what is in need of citation in that paragraph? Is it a) the fact that this particular use of the term 'numerology' is colloquial or b) the fact that some people use the term derogatively when commenting on a scientific theory? A citation tag is silly when it is unclear exactly what needs documentary support.

Secondly, both of the above scruples are silly. Eminent scientists like Eddington, Weyl and Dirac were not really numerologists and therefore it is self-evident that 'numerology' has a colloquial significance when used to describe their ideas. Secondly, it is self-evident that a scientific theory is being rubbished when it is described as numerology (only numerologists would not consider this to be self-evident!).

Thirdly, if the citation tag is not removed somebody eventually will delete the paragraph or whatever part of the paragraph he/she thinks the citation tag refers to. Any tag that is obscure and unnecessary is an invitation to mischief. Therefore someone will delete the tag eventually, either because he/she will consider it silly or because he/she will edit the paragraph to satisfy the tag's silly requirements.

I removed the tag for the above reasons. I supplied the OED quote as some kind of documentary support for the self-evident fact that 'numerology' in this article has colloquial significance. If however you think the citation tag is necessary then you should provide the documentary support you think is required. I am sure it will be something quite silly and unnecessary [[User:Lucretius|Lucretius]] 12:12, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

== Re:Page in Arabic removed from [[WP:PNT]] ==

Hi Cbdorsett,
Actually, I did not delete the article itself. That is a task and tool only given to administrators, which I am not. What I did was to remove the article's listing at [[Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English]], and I did that because the listing was redlinked when I did a periodic check of the page, e.i., the article had already been deleted. Since PNT is, ideally, a temporary listing of non-English pages needing quick translations to assess their notability, editors who monitor the page like to remove deleted articles to make way for the new ones always being listed. So, the best thing to do would be to find out which admin deleted the article itself. I hope this clears up any confusion you have. -[[User:Fsotrain09|Fsotrain]]<sup>[[User talk:Fsotrain09|09]]</sup> 21:28, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

You recently deleted this page [[محمد جعفر محمد عبدالرحيم آل نمر]] just a few hours after it was listed on [[Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English]]. Normally, these pages are reviewed by at least one person who can read the language or otherwise determine the content. I would like to see whether there was any salvageable information in this page before it was deleted. I am unable to access the page's history. Maybe you can explain how I can view the original content, or why you acted so quickly on it or what you thought it contained? Please reply to my talk page. Thanks.

== Regarding the words of Ibn Qayim ==

Hello Cbdorsett. We have a discussion regarding the correct translation and the actual meaning of something written by Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya. We might need an opinion from some native arabic speakers in order to reach consensus. If this caught your interest, feel free to join our discussion at Talk:Hadith of Sabra reporting on the prohibition of Mut'ah. Thank you. [[User:Hamid-Masri|Hamid-Masri]] 11:40, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
:Thank you for writing me. No, it is not the hadith itself that is in question, it is Ibn Qayyim's understanding of it. The article (in my opinion) quotes him wrong, and says that he viewed the narration as weak. That was the issue. Thank you anyway. [[User:Hamid-Masri|Hamid-Masri]] 14:16, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

==Regarding the previous==
Actually yes, I know "it's okay for non-native speakers to contribute to Wikipedia in English", being myself a non-native speaker, and, BTW, my English is far from perfect, a thing that's a source of considerable embarassment to me, because it's reasonable to demand from an admin a very good knowledge of the language. The point is there is a limit to everything: Nasz seems to be constantly misreading the sources he presents as alledged references, and his English is often unreadable. But honestly what concerns me by far most is his regular violation of [[WP:ATT]], and especially his passion for original research. Still I must admit I lost my nerves and should have avoided that comment: I can only say to my defence that apart from his desseminating OR, Nasz has started stalking me, which I don't much appreciate. Anyways, thanks for correcting me. Ciao,--[[User:Aldux|Aldux]] 14:48, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

==Pages Needing Translation==
Several times, you've added comments to articles listed at [[WP:PNT]] that say "Should be moved from this list to [[Wikipedia:Translation]]". I case no one has yet made you aware, I wanted to let you know that this suggestion is incorrect. [[Wikipedia:Translation]] is for pages that exist on other language wikipedias, that are being suggested for translation and adding to the English wikipedia. It is ''not'' for articles in a foreign language that already exist on the English wikipedia. That's exactly why they are already listed at PNT...this is the correct place for them. Looking over past subjects here on your talk page, you had some questions about deleted articles. As an admin, I often deal with deletions of foreign language articles. If there are any outstanding issues you need an admin to deal with, please let me know.

== Slovenian parliamentary election ==

I've translated the "Nepovezani poslanec" into unaligned deputy. Though, "nepovezani" would literally mean unlinked. Also, "poslanec" is a member of parliament - in its broadest meaning. Something as an envoy of the people. I think the term deputy could do the job for poslanec. As for the "nepovezani", the "independent" could serve as a translation, but I think "unaligned" is better because nobody asserts they are truly independent. :-] I comprehend the term nepovezani here as to emphasize that the deputies aren't linked with any specific party.
Anyway, I hammered on the whole section a little bit, too. I use your words - hammering - just so as to exercise this newly learned expression.

==[[Paul Gillon]]==
Hi, you tagged this page as needing translation. I think that, while obviously well intentioned, this wass erroneous, as all that was not translated were actual book and magazine titles. While these may have additional translations as a courtesy for the reader, this is not necessary, and certainly not a reason to move the page to the French Wikipedia after two weeks, as the template states. I guess it was just a way to list it at the project page, but perhaps another template is needed then ("this page needs some additional translation " or so) which doesn't mention deletion and/or transwikifying.
Anyway, I only noticed this because the editor who swiftly translated didn't remove the tag, so it does look as if the translation project works pretty swift. [[User:Fram|Fram]] ([[User talk:Fram|talk]]) 05:46, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

:The template, mainly. It gives in general the impression that the article has sections or sentences that need to be translated, while in fact what was wanted were ''additional'' translations for original French titles which could perfectly stay as they are (would you translate "in an interview in ''Le Monde''..." with (''The Morning''))?
:More importantly, the template states at the top of the article page that "If the article is not rewritten in English within the next two weeks it will be listed for deletion and/or moved to a Wikipedia in French.", which is patently untrue in a case like this. A page where some additionla translations, as a service to the user, may be added, should have a different template than this one (which has the orange sidebar of a serious problem, not the yellow sidebar of a normal cleanup task). Perhaps the template cleanup-translation would have been better. The template you used has as explanation in [[Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup]]: "# This should be used only for articles that are completely or almost completely in a foreign language. # Note that if the issue isn't dealt with in two weeks, the article goes to Articles for deletion." When one has just finished translating an article, it gives a very strange effect to see this template. I don't care that much, but for a newbie, this could be a case of [[WP:BITE]]...[[User:Fram|Fram]] ([[User talk:Fram|talk]]) 15:38, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm really very sorry I couldn't get back to you earlier. I've had exams on, and what the holidays season on, haven't spent any time on WP at all.

I read the [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rosetta Burke|whole thing]] and I think you dealt with it alright. I saw sharp comments all round, so it was definitely not one of the ... erm... straight-forward AfDs I've seen. But then AfDs are an area where you can (and will) encounter hostility.

Just in case, here's a few (unsolicited?:P) tips from a vandal-fighting-AfD-er to prevent messy AfDs:
*I only ''db'' tag. So it helps to know the speedy delete guidelines thorough.
*Somehow, I don't ''prod'', ever. If there's someone contesting the deletion, ''AfD''.
*In the AfD, all you need is to show lack of notability. A glance over [[WP:N]] will tell you if its lacking.
*Avoid tagging articles which show first man/woman/child/white/black/brown/orange human being to do whatever. Somehow, people believe that being the first to do something out of a particular well-defined sub-category automatically makes you notable in front of all humans. Clearly, this is well-intentioned but poorly implemented and so we have a plethora of articles starting with "was the first ...". Leave them alone, nothing can be done about them.
*And lastly, avoid AfDs as far as you can. They are bitter grounds for people to discuss/debate/destroy everything. Anything is fair game.

You hadn't asked for it, but I thought I'd just give these little tips to make vandal fighting a little less harassing (:P) for any editor. A little bit of festive cheer might make these editor hordes a little happier, you'd think...

I thank you for your message. My edit was made once and I am done with it. I am proud of that tiny edit, because I can explain it and also prove it.

However, one, it was your edit sister/brother who made the claim that it is His name, without backing it up. And two, your message says "there is no argument about it". So I accept that, and thank you again for your kind message. Three, is that time is not mine to be editing Wikipedia. I am glad there are people who do edits like you, while I am just a user/reader.

== Cyrillic ornate omega ==

Why did you remove the ornate omega from the table?[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Early_Cyrillic_alphabet&diff=next&oldid=213205522] This is not the Ot ligature, which you didn't remove. It is called ornate, or beautiful omega, and it is represented by U+047C and U+047D in Unicode 5.1.[http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n3194.pdf]&nbsp;''—[[User:Mzajac |Michael]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Mzajac |Z.]]&nbsp;<small>2008-05-20&nbsp;08:54&nbsp;z</small>''

: Hi.

: The ''ornate omega'' is a broad omega with breathing mark and ''pokrytia'', and it is usually used a specific way in vocative statements (as "O!"). In Unicode 5.1 it is represented by the character incorrectly called ''omega with titlo.''[http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n3194.pdf] I didn't restore the letter based solely on the Unicode standard. Perhaps the ''ornate'', ''beautiful'' or ''calligraphic omega'' is a variant form of alongside regular and "broad" omega and shouldn't have a separate line in the table, but it should be mentioned in this article about palaeography. It is mentioned in [http://www.uni-giessen.de/partosch/eurotex99/berdnikov2.pdf Berdnikov] p 10, for example.

: ''Ot'' is distinct: a ligature of omega and tvrdo, but come to think of it, it doesn't occupy a spot in the canonical alphabet either.

: FYI, the earliest Cyrillic alphabet didn't have a concept of majuscule or miniscule letters at all (or anachronistically, of typographer's "case"), so there are no printed examples of any of these in either "upper case" or "lower case". Some letters were rendered large for ornamentation, but the concept was introduced to Cyrillic writing in later centuries.

: But you have pointed out that the table should only have rows for actual ''letters'', and variant forms ought to be shown differently. I'll see if I can improve it in the next while, if no one beats me to it.&nbsp;''—[[User:Mzajac |Michael]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Mzajac |Z.]]&nbsp;<small>2008-05-20&nbsp;17:16&nbsp;z</small>''

:: Hey, thanks for the kind offer to help.

:: Much of what I know is culled from various small online sources (just added two to the article), and I've been looking for a better general reference to the subject. The article is sadly lacking much more information than the table can incorporate, and as you've noticed, there's practically nothing about ''[[ustav]]'' or Cyrillic [[palaeography]]. I think [[Early Cyrillic alphabet]] should be expanded into a good summary of the subject before starting more specific articles. I have little time, and this subject in Wikipedia needs all of the help it can get.

:: ''Ustav'' is the earliest form of Cyrillic writing, and ''poluustav'' (semi-''ustav'') is a later style—they don't quite correspond to uncial and semi-uncial. The old writing adopted a lot of breathing marks and variant letterforms from Greek, but only used a lot of them decoratively, according to arbitrary rules, or apparently at random.

:: These styles predate Peter's introduction of "civil script" (''[[grazhdanka]]''), which was modelled after Western European Latin type and eliminated a lot of the obsolete marks. The Bolsheviks got rid of the last vestiges in 1917. The [[Church Slavonic]] language kept using the old style of writing and type, and added detailed rules about its structure.&nbsp;''—[[User:Mzajac |Michael]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Mzajac |Z.]]&nbsp;<small>2008-05-21&nbsp;06:50&nbsp;z</small>''

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
