before valve cover repair engine idle was rough , repaired leak ,changed spark plugs,wires & coil pack. the location of the oil leak is the cylinder that has been the problem. lifter sounds a little loud also on this cylinder , could the ignition control module have gotten ruined from this leak?
will valve cover leak into spark plug hole ruin ignition contol module on 1992 Mazda Miata MX-5
The nation's largest network of independent repair shops certified for expert training, quality work and fair pricing
1 answer
Oil leaking past the spark plug tube seals in the Miata Valve cover often causes plug wire failure and or a misfire. I don't think the control module would fail. Try using the engine oil additive Risolene each of your next few oil changes see if that helps clean the hydraulic lifters.

Thats great, especially since the design of the advertisements themselves doesn't get in the way of playing the game at all.
But really… $1 million bucks from shady viagra ads? … Really? I think I might've seen a JC Penny ad on there, but for the most part the ads are the really sketchy "click here if you want to be scammed" ads.
On my HTC Desire the ads really do get in the way of gameplay, principally the ones that lurk in the upper right of the screen. The bird that spins backwards is completely obscured at the top of its arc redering it unplayable at that point.
Really, I would happily pay (as I did on iPhone before) to dispense with the ads.
i have htc desire and turn off internet access by adding a widget from widget->settings->Mobile Network, no adds.
The timing is set to appear right as you go to swype across the screen to see the pig side, until I got used to it I clicked the ads 6 or 7 times a level in sone cases. This news doesn't surprise me at all. Especially since my screen is 4″ and most are around 3.5″ leads to a lot of accidental click troughs
If you have a rooted phone, get android wall. You can disable 3g and wifi access from particular programs. Since angry birds doesnt need internet to play, I can disable the ads for it using android wall without effecting the game!
If you turn off all data coverage when playing the game you do not get any ads. BTW way you do not need to root your phone to do this. Just download the app "Quick Bettings" by Sergej Shafarenka from the Android Market. It has as switch that turns off the 3G coverage. (I have an HTC Evo)
Hed said noting of the sort. The interviewer only mentioned that the *rumor* was that ad-based versions *could* potentially bring in that much money. What's more, it didn't imply it wouldn't be from Android alone, but rather from all the free ad-based versions being downloaded across ALL platforms where Angry Birds is supported. Please get your facts straight.
This article is complete nonsense and the number do not add up at all. Rovio is wasting their time on Android just as most other developers have figured out as well.

The NBA All-Stars have left Orlando (except for poor Dwight Howard) and chances are good that the Daytona 500 will be over sometime this week, so what do we talk about now?
Are you kidding? Listen carefully. Are those the dulcet tones of James Earl Jones saying: "And they'll walk out to the bleachers; sit in shirt sleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game and it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters."
Can we get an amen? Oh yes, spring training begins this weekend although not in Iowa. Imagine the sweet taste of a Phoenix orange or the majestic mountain views in central Florida. (Wait, did I get that right? Whatever.)
The point is that baseball's spring training is upon us and it is as divisive as Tim Tebow when it comes to public opinion. Some love spring training with its slow pace while others hate it because of, well, it's slow pace among other things.
And many of the haters played the game. Remember Jim Palmer? He once said: "I hate the cursed Oriole fundamentals
I've been doing them since 1964. I do them in my sleep. I hate spring training."
So that's what we want for this week's reader-generated Top 10 list -- reasons to hate spring training. But hold on there, resin breath, we also want reasons to love spring training, too. Most of all, of course, we want funny. We love funny.
That's the list: "Top 10 Reasons To Love Or Hate Spring Training."
Send your funny ideas to firstname.lastname@example.com and include your first name, initial of your last name and your location. Your deadline is noon Wednesday but do it now. The list will be here Thursday just in time to find your favorite spot on some dusty bleacher and let your spring training nap begin.

Max Steel is about a typical high school sophomore named Max McGrath who suddenly develops an ability to generate turbo energy. When he combines with the alien life form named Steel, he becomes superhero Max Steel, battling the forces of evil to save the planet. And kids can play out those battles with the Max Steel Battle Pack Max Steel vs. Dredd, a two-figure set that pits Max against his archnemesis. Dredd's arm is an attack claw, but Max has joined forces with Steel to add turbo energy to his blaster. To play, load Max's blaster to fire. Push the button on Dredd's arm to activate the claw. Each figure is between six and seven inches tall, which makes them a great size for kids' hands and active play.
This figure set lets kids recreate battles from the show between Max Steel and Dredd or imagine all-new action-packed battles. Who will win? That's up to kids' imaginations.
The Max Steel Battle Pack Max Steel vs. Dredd is for Max Steel fans ages 4 and up.
Three button cell batteries are included for the in-store try-me purposes. It's recommended that you replace them before you play for best results.
The figures sort of stand on their own, but may need some balance assistance from kids. These will probably be best with one figure standing and one figure used with two hands for solo play, or for co-play, two kids can hold one figure at the same time.

Asset managers may be forced to hold back 10% of profits, says MOW
The average asset manager will have to hold back about 10% of profits over the next three years to meet minimum capital requirements if the present Basel II requirements were implemented unchanged, according to risk management firm Mercer Oliver Wyman (MOW). The CAD3 Directive outlined in the Basel II banking proposal introduces a specific minimum capital requirement for operational risk covering asset managers in Europe. Operational risk includes that of fraud, technology failure, legal risk...

By David C. Green - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
I first heard of James MacMillan when I was looking for his "The World's Ransoming" on CD. As I looked on the Boosey & Hawkes website to see what other music was to his credit, I came across this quite unique concerto. I was even more excited when I found that there was a CD recording of the work. The work is very lively and extremely entertaining from start to finish. Each section is very different from the rest, as the organ and orchestra combine in rather unique sounds. Also, the fun percussive sound of, get this, TYPEWRITERS is quite humorous and neat. The only sad thing is that this was not recorded using the Disney Hall organ in Los Angeles, for which the piece was written and on which it was premiered. Other than that, it is glorious. The piano concerto that is also on the disc is also neat, though it pales in comparison to the organ work. Wayne Marshall is a fantastic soloist for both works, and MacMillan himself conducts the orchestra well. This will be a fun recording to have in your collection.

On a 76ers team that is desperate for size, not to mention additional depth, the return of Arnett Moultrie surely will be welcome.
The 6-foot-10, 240-pound forward-center hasn't played since September surgery on his left ankle. But he is back practicing with the team and hopes to return soon.
Moultrie was acquired by the Sixers on draft day 2012 after he was taken with the 27th selection of the first round by the Miami Heat.

What does 2016 hold in store for global travelers? Here are our predictions for the new year based on the sort of trips trending in our forward bookings, the rapid-fire evolution of online travel services, and the educated expectations of our most experienced travel consultants.
Botswana is an ideal destination for an active family safari. Our Botswana safari experts travel regularly with their own families, which means you can count on sound travel advice and solid recommendations that are based on first-hand experience. Since 1998, we've brought over 60 000 travellers on safari to Africa - you'll find their comments on our service on independant review sites like FEEFO.
Summer in Cape Town sees up to 14-hours of daylight, with the sun setting at about 8pm at the height of the season when temperatures regularly hit the 30s Celsius (90s Fahrenheit). And what a sunset it usually is: the sky streaked with candy floss-pink clouds and the sun slipping beneath the horizon as it bathes all in a soft, golden light.
Soft white snowfall on Christmas Day is a real scene-stealer but the months before and after the powdery magic give the northern hemisphere winter a bad name: sludgy ice mixed with mud tracked all over your living room and grey skies as dull and endless as left-over turkey. Luckily, there's a a perfectly balmy solution to escape your central heating and trade your thermal underwear for beachwear and sandals: say 'hello' to Christmas in Africa.
'A talkative bird will not build a nest' sums up our approach to charity work and 'giving back'. It speaks to our ethos of 'deeds, not words', which many of our travellers share. We're often asked by our clients how they can directly benefit the communities or animals they've encountered on their journey, so we've prepared this list of ways to make a personal contribution to Africa that continues giving long after you've returned home.
Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula have two glittering coastlines with a beach to suit every mood and moment. Whether you're after buzzing beachside bars, secluded coves, safe swimming beaches or a romantic spot for a sunset picnic, our guide to Cape Town's best beaches will point you in the right direction.
Go2Africa's fundamental approach to travel sets us apart. It's how we create the kind of vacation that you remember for years to come, and it depends as much on our first-hand expertise as it does on the relationship we build with you. You don't pay for it but it's our most valuable service: putting you in the right place at the right time in the right hands to witness Africa's greatest wild events.
As the northern hemisphere sinks into the short, cold, dark days of winter, Africa stretches its arms out wide in a warm welcome. December in Africa is when summer gets going and many places are at their best. The climate is mostly hot and sunny while the occasional rains that do fall in the interior cool things down and green' things up.
Gorgeous views, original art, fine furnishings, discreet service, the very best in food and wine, design and location – not to mention awards galore: these are Africa's 10 most ultra-luxurious accommodation options..
My first evening on Botswana's Chobe River was the stuff of dreams. I sat on the roof of a game drive vehicle and watched in open-mouthed wonder as herd after herd of elephants poured out of the surrounding forest and down to the river to drink. Many younger ones broke into a run, their trunks and ears flapping in excitement; the older ones usually managed to keep to a dignified pace – at least until the last few yards. The countless trampling feet sent dust billowing into the air, turning the setting sun into a huge, hanging orb of fire.

I think the links in the pink header bit, is fine .
I'm not too keen on the colour of the links at the very top, I'd go with a blue to go with the background just below it.
How about for the tiny nav a bit darker purple/blue?
I thought that the links on the main nav was a little hard to read.
Yeah darker purple will look good!
I just refreshed your site to see if you made any changes to the links, but it looks like the rounded corners side bar thing is all messed up.
Left image on the side bar is not aligned correctly.

I am working on the sidebar right now. Do you like the transparency effect? edit:// done with images.
What color font do you want for the main nav?

Last edited by twodayslate; 04-21-2007 at 09:24 PM.
Transparency effect is nice.
Well I recommend a blue, probably guessed it's my fave colour
Or you could try making the links the same colour as the "User" link.
It's all about Trial and Error, try different colours, different hover styles, and just see what looks good.
Edit: Tiny nav colours are good
Tom Dean
Yes, I meant the smaller text on the main nav, try changing the colour of the smaller links to the colour of the current link (which in this case in the user link).
I'm only making suggestions, it's your site not mine, so it's about what you want.
Tom Dean
Yup, dark gray is nice.
Tom Dean
OK, done. Is it good now?
Yeah, I like it, nice one.
Tom Dean
Is it perfect? Anything at all to change or add?


text: A group of experts drawn from the airline industry and pilots unions have agreed to new guidelines on pilot rest, The Wall Street Journal reports. The sweeping recommendations presented to FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt on Wednesday would replace uniform limits with more flexible rules to take into account such factors as number of flight segments and time of day when capping pilots' workload. The FAA must now review the proposed new guidelines, and could move to implement any final industry rules on this issue at the end of next year.

(Nov. 9, 2010)--In fiscal year 2010, UTSA ranked 23rd among State of Texas agencies in the percentage of eligible expenditures made to historically underutilized business (HUB) vendors.
UTSA spent more than $20 million last year with HUB vendors, which are minority- and women-owned businesses certified by the state. The total amount spent with HUB vendors accounted for more than 29 percent of UTSA eligible purchases.
"We've encouraged HUB suppliers by opening channels of communication with them by establishing monthly vendor days and encouraging attendance at the HUB Vendor Fair," said Lane Brinson, UTSA assistant director of purchasing. "We also try to utilize HUBs at every opportunity including procurements through purchasing cooperatives and showcasing them on our supplier mall."
Special recognition goes to staff members in the Purchasing Office and the Procard Office who have made great strides in supporting the university HUB initiatives. These staff members include:
Recognition also goes to the HUB Staff Coordinating Group (SCG) for assisting UTSA in consistently maintaining its high HUB ranking among state agencies and UT System institutions. The SCG meets quarterly to discuss HUB activities and provides direction to ensure UTSA meets its HUB strategic goals and objectives. The SCG members for fiscal year 2010 were:

Just fair. Much better on the market and to much pushing (trying to advertise) their fryer. At one point I felt that I was paying to advertise their fryer buy buying the book. Better information on smoking meats as well as other topics available in any good book store. It's not very unique by any means.

I love this book!I love the recipes and photos! I have made the smoked prime rib (to die for), mediterranean pepper salad and the salmon chowder (I cheated and used store bought smoked salmon). I'm not an experienced cook, but these recipes made me a hero. I'll be giving this book as gifts for sure.

This is a very good companion to the Masterbuilt Turkey Fryer (plus boiler and steamer of stuff). Very detailed "how-to" suggestions for frying, boiling, and steaming ... plus some additional Dadgum good recipes for smoking chicken, Boston butt pork, and such. Recommended for a good read and good cooking. The only problem is to let guests see the book ... they'll start hinting for an invitation back when I try "such and such" from the book. But that's really a good thing.

I have been cooking for a long time and there are two things I look for when shopping for a new cookbook, easy to follow recipes and pictures of what the finished recipe should look like. The recipes in this book are very easy to follow and the pictures make me hungry just looking at them. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to cook.

In 2002, when major U.S. airlines posted net operating losses of almost $10 billion, they paid over $7 billion to distribute tickets to consumers. Of these total distribution expenses, airlines paid hundreds of millions of dollars in booking fees to global distribution systems--the companies who package airline flight schedule and fare information so that travel agents can query it to "book" (i.e., reserve and purchase) flights for consumers. Each time a consumer purchases an airline ticket through a travel agent, the global distribution system used by the travel agent charges the airline a set booking fee. Concerns have been raised that the global distribution systems may exercise market power over the airlines because most carriers are still largely dependent on each of the global distribution systems for distributing tickets to different travel agents and consumers and therefore must subscribe and pay fees to each. Market power would allow global distribution systems to charge high, noncompetitive fees to airlines, costs that may be passed on to consumers. GAO was asked to examine changes in the airline ticket distribution industry since the late 1990s and the effects on airlines, the impact of these changes on travel agents and consumers, and what the relationship between global distribution systems' booking fees and related costs suggest about the use of market power.
Since the mid-1990s, two major changes occurred in the airline ticket distribution industry, and these have produced cost savings for some major U.S. airlines. First, airlines developed less expensive Internet ticketing sites that bypass global distribution systems and their fees and encouraged passengers to book via Internet sites. Between 1999 and 2002, on average, the percentage of tickets booked on-line, including airline-owned Websites and on-line travel agencies, grew from 7 percent to 30 percent. Second, in a related effort to trim costs, airlines cut the commissions they traditionally paid to travel agencies. However, these changes have not eliminated airline dependence on global distribution systems. These changes have had mixed effects on travel agents and consumers. Very large travel agencies (those with more than $50 million in annual air travel sales revenue) appear to have benefited from volume-based incentive payments from airlines and global distribution systems, while smaller travel agencies have closed or lost business, especially to on-line travel Websites. Consumers who use the Internet have benefited from lower internet-only fares. Travelers who do not buy airline tickets on line may be at a disadvantage in not having access to these fares. Because we lacked access to proprietary company information, we could not determine the precise relationship between global distribution system booking fees and related costs, and thus could reach no conclusions about potential exercise of market power by global distribution systems in the airline ticket distribution industry. Since 1996, booking fees and some costs related to the booking function--computing costs and travel agent incentive payments--both increased. However, we could not obtain data on all expenses related to the booking function, and thus could not accurately compare these costs to booking fees. DOT provided us with technical comments, which we incorporated as appropriate.

user callback requirement from kernel mode
I have a requirement to use a freeware linux user mode library for data processing.
The input data is purely in kernel space and we are finding it very difficult to port
whole freeware community based project to build under linux kernel build system !
So normally the requirement is to make a callback from kernel to user mode,
call user mode lib and let it process input data
return back to kernel mode and signal the consumer.
Is it possible to achieve kernel to user mode callback ?
If it's not possible, then I have another idea to create a user mode thread making kernel calls (ioctl),
which initially blocked, being signalled when there is sufficient data. Come back to user mode,
process data in user mode, make an ioctl call, switch to kernel mode,
unblock consumer.
But the second scheme will be costlier and include 2 context switch and also difficult
to adapt in our enviornment.
Your suggestions will be very helpful.
Many Thanks

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

PlayStation Phone Bound for NA/Europe in Spring 2011
Japanese newspaper describes the device as "based on the PSP Go."
The PlayStation Phone is coming to North America and Europe as early as Spring 2011 according to a report in today's Asahi Shimbun newspaper. The device will be based on the design of the PSP Go and run on Google's Android OS.
Today's report did not mention the possibility of a touch screen, only that the new device would slide open and include buttons as the PSP Go does. Indeed, the picture that ran with the article was that of the Go.
Interestingly, the Asahi report was forthcoming about the device "starting out" in Western markets but only mentioned a Japanese release as an afterthought.
The PlayStation Phone's existence has yet to be confirmed by Sony, but with each new report that surfaces, an announcement is now a matter of "when" not "if."

It's funny that I keep looking forward to more info on this as a technophile and not necessarily as a gamer.
Hopefully it's more than just an advanced Dreamcast VMU where you can call your mom and update her on how your Chaos are doing inbetween feeding your pet zombies...

the PSP bomb so they thought hey let go with sumthang that we can try to bring back to life
Digital analog sticks?Posted: Dec 28, 2010 12:00AM PST by VDKT
So all this time, I thought those 2 holes where the holes where the analog sticks or thumb pads would be placed. But no... those are the actual "analog controls".
WTF man!? The whole reason why Androids and iPhones are failures as gaming systems ARE BECAUSE OF THE TERRIBLE CONTROLS!!!
What the hell happened to the PSP Go's style controls? They really couldn't engineer a way to actually give the PSP Phone real controls rather than digital BS? Come on Sony... now this failure of a Smartphone is gonna suffer the exact same problem the iPhone and Android have! Sure it may have a directional pad... but how many PSP games ever use those?

I'll stick with my DroidX, there's no way this phone is going to overcome the iPhone, and I'm sure people are going to develop more for the iPhone and Droid and other smartphones because of that. Oh well, guess we'll see how it goes from here.
HmmmPosted: Dec 28, 2010 12:00AM PST by DarkRazor6661
I wonder what the price will be... I'm no phone nut or nothin' (so don't put me on blast) what service will this have? Like is it going to be on Verizon, Sprint or some other company? Second, I would like to know the specs on this baby... What type of graphics will it have? How fast will the download speeds be? How much memory can you store on it and how much memory can you add to it? Will it have a camera? What is the battery life? There are tons of more questions I'd like to get answered before picking it up. I'm not saying I'm going to but this does peak my interest... I would think it would beat the hell out of my Rumor Touch... (I only got the phone because it came free with a plan... College student here with limited funds). Also... since I just bought a PS3... How can I use this product with my PS3? Will it somehow have some type of connection like the PSP has? I am full of questions...
I can tell you right now.Posted: Dec 28, 2010 12:00AM PST by xG0DzxRambo316
If this thing doesnt have a second thumbstick.. it aint beating crap .. it aint even gonna beat the sidekick. hahah
A "powerful" device without a second thumbstick.. well i can assure u they would sell a lottttt more psps if they did have one.
Did you forget that it is also going to be a Phone?Posted: Dec 28, 2010 12:00AM PST by Hellslinger1
So it isn't an all out gaming device so it doesn't have to have all the gaming controls. You're thinking of this too much as a next PSP instead of something like the iPhone.
iPhone games do just fine without having a single real thumbstick. We still don't know if it will have a touchscreen or not so not having two thumbsticks doesn't mean it will be shit right out of the gate.
mehPosted: Dec 28, 2010 12:00AM PST by MrBackpack
This thing looks so flimsy that I'd probably break it within a couple of hours of gaming.
I'll wait to see the PSP2
so in other wordsPosted: Dec 28, 2010 12:00AM PST by PlayingWithPixelsINC
This is definitely not the PSP2. That's all I needed to hear. Besides I doubt they'd be rushing something as big as PSP2 out the door so fast if they've barely mentioned it before.

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2012-01-30/News and notes
Update on Global Development, Wikipedia Day NYC is a success, JFK audio on Commons
Global Development midyear report
The Global Development team has released its midyear report for 2011–2012. The Global Development department is a part of the Wikimedia Foundation that is tasked with Mobile and Offline development, as well as the Foundation's global and regional strategy. Overall, "the global development team continues to make progress in building our team; however, we are moving more slowly than would be preferred in some areas." Highlighted in the report are the two most active sectors of development: mobile development and attempts at stimulating editor growth.
In terms of mobile development, the Foundation is making progress on meeting a target of 2 billion monthly page views and partnerships with mobile operators to reach 500 million subscribers by later this year. December 2011 saw 1.534 billion mobile page views across all Wikipedias, as compared to 802 million in June of that year (see previous Signpost coverage here, here, and here). Current prospective mobile partnerships are being developed in Latin America, Asia, Middle East and Africa, Turkey and Russia, which could affect up to 700 million mobile users. Not all deals are expected to stick, but those that will will offer, in most cases, free Wikipedia access to their subscribers. A much-improved web portal was designed and launched in September of this year, results from the Mobile Readers Survey 2011 are being analyzed, and the results of mobile research in India and Brazil have already been published. Work on an Android app for Wikipedia, a major gap in mobile coverage, was concluded this week with the publication of the new free Wikipedia App designed by the mobile team.
Progress on editor growth has been much more arduous. Active editor populations have been slipping downwards for the last few years, a trend that executive director Sue Gardner has called "the holy shit slide" (see related Signpost interview). As the report summarizes, "We are behind in getting pilot initiatives deployed to really understand the potential for direct impact on editor growth" in reference to its self-described "primary effort", the Global Education Program, whose Pune Pilot in India it deemed a failure (see next story for more). An analysis of the Portuguese Wikipedian community is also underway, as is planning, supported by the Qatar Computing Research Institute, for a program for the Arabic Wikipedia sometime in the coming months. More information on and the summation of the Pune Project proceedings can be found below.
Verdict delivered on the India Education Program
A report commissioned by the Wikimedia Foundation from consultant Tory Read has been published on the India Education Program's pilot scheme. The Pune pilot project recruited over a thousand[1] university students, but ended in disrepute, having quickly ran aground on editorial inexperience and blatant disregard for copyright (as documented in the Signpost's special report). According to a quantitative analysis conducted in tandem with the report, only 21% of total content added by the students survived cleanup to date.
The Read report gives an overview and blow-by-blow history of the project's travails, chronicling early failures of project management to engage with the English Wikipedia community, the recruitment of unseasoned students as ambassadors with two days' training and a disregard for assigned tasks, and the enlisting of vast numbers of students in the scheme (the vaunted American predecessor involved a mere 200), the decision to make Wikipedia editing mandatory for all students in contravention of professors' wishes, the decision not to enlist volunteer online ambassadors from the beginning, the impact on global editors of the students' problematic missives and early efforts by the Foundation consultants to combat it, the English Wikipedia community's exasperation and decisive action after communication lapses, and the cleanup effort and fallout that resulted. The report outlined the positive experience of some of the students and their professors' frustration, and the statistical outcome of its study, which indicated that "the pilot yielded a high percentage of low-quality content being added to English Wikipedia".
In assessing the project, the report cited inadequate planning, poor communication and lack of due diligence on the part of the Wikimedia Foundation for its failure, but also declared that the "global Wikipedia community and the Wikipedia community in India must also take responsibility", for having responded in uncivil and hurtful ways; Read concluded "there is no cause for bashing and mocking people on talk pages and email lists, particularly when so many people are working hard with good intent toward a common goal". The termination of employment of those involved was judged premature. The response from the Wikimedia Foundation, which included the report's commission, was described favourably; whether this is justified may be seen in the fortunes of the nascent Cairo education program. The recommendations for the future of such initiatives covered predictable ground; including a key role for the global editing community in the planning process, capitalising on the talent which has emerged from previous initiatives, building "capacities and relationships" between pilots, a system for the early detection of copyright violations and an overhaul of the editing interface.
The reception of the report at the time of writing has been complimentary though not universally credulous, with several commenters sharing the sentiment of Hut 8.5 that it seemed "an attempt to find a way for the program to continue rather than to honestly evaluate whether it should". Much of the discussion, which involved many of the editors who bore the brunt of the cleanup efforts, has been solution-oriented, indicating the potential for reconciliation and future productive co-operation.
Wikipedia Day NYC
Over 100 people packed into New York University's Tisch School of the Arts ITP department on Saturday, January 28 for Wikipedia Day NYC, which featured panels, lightning talks, open space sessions, plenty of food and fun. The event was organized by Wikimedia NYC, Free Culture NYU, and Free Culture Alliance NYC.
The morning panel session covered Wikipedia Loves Libraries and Wikimedia library and archives outreach initiatives. Among the presentations, Dominic reflected on his 8-month long experience as Wikipedian-in-Residence at the National Archives and Records Administration, the New York Public Library's Lauren Lampasone talked about digital initiatives and Wikipedia outreach, and DGG discussed the role of libraries and how they can help Wikipedians improve sourcing. The afternoon panel session featured discussion of university outreach initiatives. During the open space sessions, Sarah Stierch talked about GLAM-Wiki collaborations and opportunities for Wikimedians and about the gender gap, and a planning session was held to discuss Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 in the United States. New York Times journalist Noam Cohen gave a lightning talk about his experiences in covering Wikipedia. The day ended with Courcelles winning a game of The Price Is Right, with Mitchazenia as game show host.
JFK assassination audio released on Wikimedia Commons
The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has released two audio reel recordings of conversations between Air Force One pilots and crew and personnel on the ground, following the JFK assassination in 1963. The recordings are 2 hours and 22 minutes in length. David Ferriero, Archivist of the United States, explains that the audio "provides additional documentation concerning the immediate response of the U.S. Government on the day of President Kennedy's assassination." User:Dominic was provided with a 1.4 GB raw audio file, converted it to Ogg format and had it uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, at just about the same time that NARA publicly announced this release.
The Raab Collection, a Philadelphia-area dealer of autographs, historical documents and manuscripts, discovered the audio reels. Raab had the audio "professionally digitized" and a copy donated to the National Archives. The audio was discovered among papers and materials in the collections of senior Kennedy military aide and Army General Chester "Ted" Clifton, Jr. Raab is selling the original audio reels for US$500,000.
In brief
- Board of Trustees sets the agenda: The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees is planning their first session of 2012, to take place next week. An agenda has been posted; topics include the WMF's annual planning for 2012/2013, fundraising and fund distribution scenarios for the WMF and Chapters, the movement roles process, and the issue of paid editing.
- Global fundraising mechanisms discussed: Earlier this month, WMF executive director Sue Gardner began publicly drafting recommendations to the Board on the future of movement fundraising. Last week, responses, research, and alternate suggestions were published by Wikimedia Deutschland (on "Wikimedia's culture of sharing") and by Wikimedia UK (a "statement of principles").
- Call for moderators: The Wikimedia Foundation has issued a call for moderators for a new mailing list devoted to the involvement of the Wikimedia movement in advocacy. Interested parties are invited to email head of reader relations Philippe Beaudette at
- Feedback on article feedback tool: The Article Feedback Team held office hours on 27 January of this week (log), with product developer Fabrice Florin and community liaison of product development Okeyes (better known as Ironholds) presiding. See this week's "In the news" for more on Florin and the AFT.
- Chapters Committee seeks new members: The Chapters Committee has put out a call for candidates. The committee seeks five new members to help review new chapter applications and help guide volunteers who want to setup a chapter.
- New administrator: The Signpost welcomes MikeLynch, our newest administrator. As nominator Rsrikanth05 summarized, "He's an admin and a bureaucrat on the Sanskrit Wikipedia, a member of the Wikimedia OTRS team, member of the U.S. and Global Education Program's Ambassador Steering Committee and a Wikipedia Online Ambassador."
- Project milestones: Recent project milestones include the Hawaiian Wikipedia reaching 50,000 page edits, the Dutch Wiktionary reaching 150,000 entries, the Mongolian Wikipedia reaching 20,000 total pages, and the Malagasy Wiktionary reaching 1,000,000 entries.
- ^ A previous version of this article inaccurately stated the number of students involved as 2,000. According to the Read report, there were 1,014 students involved in the program, 665 of whom edited the article namespace.
"A lack of due dilligence by the Wikimedia Foundation"? How surprising! Hopefully all the donations they collected this year will help buy them some due dilligence over all their projects. Cla68 (talk) 07:04, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
- It's somewhat ironic that an initiative that partly aimed to help address problems with western-focused editing didn't take into account the academic culture of the editors who were recruited - though I do find it amazing and horrifying that Indian university students are apparently allowed to include plagiarised material in assessment items. It's good that there's been such a frank assessment of this though. Nick-D (talk) 11:09, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
- I believe the figure of 2000 students recruited (See Verdict delivered on the India Education Program above) is inaccurate. According to Tory Read's report and the quantitative analysis report, there were 1,014 students registered for the IEP of whom 665 (66%) actually made edits. Nevertheless, an absurd number for a "pilot" involving completely inexperienced participants, starting with the paid consultants who were running the program.Voceditenore (talk) 16:49, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
- You're quite right, that figure survived from an early draft; I've corrected the error and will bring it to the attention of the editor responsible. Skomorokh 17:13, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
- Strange, the blog post said that "The program has not been oriented toward creating new Wikipedians, but has added almost 2,000 editors during the Fall 2011 semester, more than thrice the number from Spring 2011 (500+)." ResMar 21:02, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
- "The program" there is a reference to the Global Education Program rather than just the Indian one I believe. Skomorokh 21:25, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, the 665 students refers to mainspace edits. A significant fraction of the remaining students had userspace edits, some of which contained copyvios. MER-C 01:08, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
- It is not just India that has had problems with plagiarism. See here for a analysis of a Canadian effort [1] dealing with a class of 1700 students Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:02, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
- Although that class had 1500 students, only 317 students created a user account. Of those, only half went on to edit Wikipedia articles—158 students. The more discursive analysis, User:Colin/A large scale student assignment – what could possibly go wrong?, makes very interesting reading. Voceditenore (talk) 17:15, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
- Funny how nobody contacted me when I can offer help at a moment's notice since I'm on campus anyway. And the campus ambassadors are a joke (including one who's my high school friend). You assigned 4 ambassadors and none of them have more than 50 edits? Is WMF so desperate that they'll accept ambassadors with close to no experience? OhanaUnitedTalk page 04:37, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

- Has anything been learned from the India and Canada experiences? See: IEP/Welcome MathewTownsend (talk) 01:42, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
- No, despite the efforts of many of us (spearheaded by Kudpung); their inability to recognize and acknowledge what went wrong is extraordinarily frustrating. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい)
- I have reasons to believe that the described observations have nothing to do with how well or poorly the experiment was designed or conducted. From my accidental experience with relatively obscure articles related to India culture and geography and adited by Indians well before this experiment I had an impression that a considerable number Indian editors from India disregard all wikipedia rules about referencing. They just dump something either out of their head or from some Indian websites. A typical, randomply picked examples are Chaturvedi, Tiwari, Pathak. I bet the same will be for any page randomly picked from Category:Indian family names... Here...: "Ghatorhe". Try picking yourself now. Loggerjack (talk) 03:58, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
- Run a search for "...is a beautiful village"; more than half of them are Indian/Pakistani villages. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 14:30, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
- Getting away from India, isn't there a paradox that the two main efforts of the WMF at the moment - more mobile uses and more editors - are likely to be pulling in different directions. Presumably people are much less likely to edit from a mobile? Johnbod (talk) 16:08, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

- There's been some effort to create better support for editing Wikipedia on smart phones. But if we can establish good means of turning readers into editors (which some of the new editor programs are aimed to do, although some of the new editor programs seem to be aiming to attract people who don't necessarily read Wikipedia), then getting mobile readers means when the person does sit down to a computer, then they will edit.
