MySQL, Wikipedia, community and copyright In a couple of weeks names for one to house a large file collection and another to speed up searching will be needed, so names known for breadth of collection or speed of search will be particularly interesting for them. The desire to preserve as much privacy as possible for the community as a whole is the driving force behind this limited access. In tougher cases it's possible to ask members of the technical team to identify links between accounts, using assorted technical means which are restricted to only those whose technical roles already give them access to the tools required to do this. frassle.rura.org /mysqlwikipedia   (1994 words)

Wikipédia:Å tylistická príručka - Wikipédia Note: if a word or phrase appears in an article with single quotes, such as 'abcd', the Wikipédia:Searching facility considers the single quotes to be part of the word and will find that word or phrase only if the search string is also within single quotes. There are no guidelines on whether to use one or two spaces after the end of a sentence but it is not important as the difference only shows up in the edit box. Even simpler is to look at an article that you like and open it for editing to see how the writers and editors have put it together. sk.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:%C5%A0tylistick%C3%A1_pr%C3%ADru%C4%8Dka   (1994 words)

Wikipedia reinvents information searching - Sci-Tech And by users, I mean you, me, or anyone else in the world who wishes to contribute their wealth of knowledge to the project. In the run up to the 2004 presidential election, the George W. Bush article was being edited with such ferocity and from so many bias angles that administrators were forced to lock the record. Someone may post inaccurate or biased information relating to a specific topic, but Wiki's growing base of over 10,000 free public contributors are always reading an revising, and ensuring that the site's content is as honest and true as possible. www.thetriangle.org /news/2005/01/14/SciTech/Wikipedia.Reinvents.Information.Searching-833083.shtml   (895 words)

Search Toolbars & Utilities HydraLinks is a simple utility that lets you manipulate and save search results to a customizable list, speeding up your searching and letting you easily share results with others. This simple utility allows you to highlight any word or words on a web page, then click to do a Google search, or to get dictionary or thesaurus definitions. Similar to metacrawlers, the meta search utilities below send your query to more than one search engine at the same time. searchenginewatch.com /links/article.php/2156381   (2437 words)

MySQL, Wikipedia, community and copyright In a couple of weeks names for one to house a large file collection and another to speed up searching will be needed, so names known for breadth of collection or speed of search will be particularly interesting for them.

USATODAY.com - A false Wikipedia 'biography' But searching cyberspace for the identity of people who post spurious information can be frustrating. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, passed in 1996, specifically states that "no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker." That legalese means that, unlike print and broadcast companies, online service providers cannot be sued for disseminating defamatory attacks on citizens posted by others. It was mind-boggling when my son, John Seigenthaler, journalist with NBC News, phoned later to say he found the same scurrilous text on Reference.com and Answers.com. usatoday.com /news/opinion/editorials/2005-11-29-wikipedia-edit_x.htm   (921 words)

AJAX + Wikipedia = More Powerful Wiki Searches The problem with searching wikipedia isn't that you can't search on every keystroke, but that wikipedia is often slow (and it seems like this might make it slower) and that it's search syntax isn't all that sophisticated.

Wikispecies:Village Pump - Wikispecies Hi, I'm from the french wikipedia and I work a little bit to class some species, one of my principal sources is wikispecies. If I were in Ecuador as er your example, I'd be searching in a Quechua Wiki to find out what the speces being talked about is, then use that to find the data in Wikispecies and create the appropriate interwiki link back to the Quechua 'pedia. We are currently still evaluating how to proceed with the project in terms of creating templates to structure our content, but already have a considerable collection of taxonomic names, literature references and links to encyclopaedic articles (at wikipedias in different languages). species.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wikispecies:Village_pump   (4391 words)

Wikipedia talk:Make only links relevant to the context : Rules to consider/Make only links relevant to the context debate There are about 80 hits searching wikipedia for "1503" and there are 19 items (8/5/6 events/births/deaths). Part of what makes wikipedia so fantastic is ability to explore, to make connections. This is after some work on my part to pull into the 1503 page events that I felt should be there, and linking references to 1503 that I found relevant. www.city-search.org /ru/rules-to-consider---make-only-links-relevant-to-the-context-debate.html   (3029 words)

Category talk:LC-TB - Wikisource Algorithms to fuzzy-match DNA sequences will be found under "fuzzy string searching" in -TBO; path-planning algorithms will be found under -TBL; and compound-interest formulas will be found under -TBG. Notice that I didn't try to cover "medical algorithms" or "avionics algorithms" or "banking algorithms," since as far as I'm concerned those labels are meaningless. I, personally, would like to have a repository for the GNU sources (and others) as user-friendly as Wikisource, but I'm not sure the copyright mess would allow many existing tools to be added verbatim; someone would have to reimplement each GNU tool under the GFDL. wikisource.org /wiki/Category_talk:LC-TB   (407 words)

collectiveSome They considered examples of simplicity: the iPod for its minimalist form and intuitive interface; Google for its straightforward, no-fuss approach to searching; the Screwpull wine-bottle opener for its mechanical elegance; Apple Keynote (rival to PowerPoint) for its subtle pop-up indicators that help you align and position elements like a pro. While it may be a very imperfect mechanism, a careful observer of my book-buying trail could probably glean a fair bit of my personality.

Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions/archive1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A place where this breaks down would be searching for the most correct spelling of the Dutchman Anton van Leeuwenhoek by searching against the alternate spelling of "Antoni van Leeuwenhoek". But searching all English language webpages on Google indicates that significantly more English speakers use Bolzano instead of Bozen. Most long phrases (e.g., Ich bin ein Berliner; the most remarkable formula in the world) shouldn't contain capitalized words. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions/archive1   (4154 words)

Naming conventions - Theopedia Convention: Do not capitalize second and subsequent words unless the title is a wikipedia:proper noun (such as a name) or is otherwise almost always capitalized.e.g. Convention: In general only create page titles that are in the singular, unless that noun is always in a plural form in English (such as wikipedia:scissors_scissors or trousers). This may be inconvenient in searching or displaying a list of pages. www.theopedia.com /Naming_conventions   (1590 words)

GW Urban Legends: May 2005 I was searching for Polybius a Greek historian (and apparently he was also a cryptographer) and noticed on wikipedia that there was an alternate entry that said "for the video game of urban legend." The article seemed worthy of a break, so I clicked the link. "Men in Black" going to collect information from some crazy video game that can cause amnesia is a pretty tall tale, however I can see how the early 80's and late 90's video game youth culture explosion could have triggered some parents and even kids to wonder about "these machines" and "their true origins." Overall I think it is interesting that such an odd story has lasted this long (the story is circa 1980's). gwul.blogspot.com /2005_05_01_gwul_archive.html   (1138 words)

Wikimania05/Presentation-LH1 - Wikibooks Perhaps the most important message of wikipedia to the scientific community: It also can be seen as part of a bigger movement searching and exploring new ways of publication - ways that fit the needs of authors and readers better.
