[edit] suggested sequence of tutorial pages

It is that the sequence of tutorial pages should be:
page 1, "Explore" (state what Wikiversity is and how to find existing content) --> page 2, "edit this page" --> page 3, how to create a new page

[edit] Differences

Can any one that is there any guideline-article here related to the differece between Wikipedia and Wikiversity. If not it's better to add a guideline as Difference between Wikipedia and Wikiversity. - Vaikunda Raja 21:13, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Science and Psychology Hypothesis

Well lets say that a person has schizophrenia and they have delusions and visions or in their terms hallucinations. Now how much as been done to connect the delusions with a group of schizophrenias. When they hear something it is picked up on brain scans and from my observations using Natural Environmental Studies They seem to produce the same experiences and are and seemingly more inept to esp. How much of this has been observed I am Not for sure. So if any one has any concrete or a theory please let me no the supporting facts thank you

[edit] Is this page hostile to newcomers?

No doubt someone thought it was cute to build a template into the "leave this line alone" category so this page could have all the lovely html coloring and formatting. Unfortunately it obscures what is going on for newcomers. It might be better to use a plain jane page with obvious wiki syntax that is visible to the newcomers so they can see they are actually editing the page and it is displaying what they told it to edit along with the sections above they were requested to leave alone. I suspect this page confuses rather than enlightens newcomers and thus probably scares a few away who are already timid of programming and markup languages. Time enough for them to learn about templates and leaving them alone on complex pages when they need to edit a main page or a portal page. This should be covered in advanced editing, not the first introductory page a newcomer is asked to edit. Mirwin 07:39, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

"The line above is a template which substitutes in the text the community wishes to remain static or permanent on the top of this introductory page." <-- I'm not sure that this sentence will mean much to new visitors. As someone who has edited for five years, I had to read it three times before I could figure it out. I'm open to experimenting with new ways to encourage people to make their first edit. --JWS 15:12, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Interlingual

This resource is great. I have imported it to beta. Does anybody (or Erkan, or Juan?) know how to find similar pages in other languages? --Hillgentleman|Talk 05:27, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

suffered a case of situational depression. Slowly I continue to recover and even slower at realizing a measurable return in faculties. Cognitive recall and memory - enough about explaining...

I am a professional land surveyor with a specific focus on inland and riparian boundary law.

I am submitting a narrative with respect to my capabilities and worth to an energy business.

I'm challenged in remembering or knowing the meaning of each and relative to each other and which is correct to use where and when.


knowledge, intellect, experience, understanding, intelligence, expertise, acumen, and wisdom

thank you for your patience

0=0 0*1=0*1 0/0*1=1 0/0=0

[edit] 0/0=1

0=0 0*1=0*1 0/0*1=1 0/0=1

The one who wrote the previous equation should understand that mathematics never plays such jokes. First of all dividing by zero is not accepted in Mathematics unless the value is infinity. See the | Rational number definition for more understanding. Finally 0/0 is an illegal term in Maths regardless the rest of the mathematical expression, and that's why limits are used.
