Kirby franchise strategy guide/Enemies/Squeaks

The Squeaks (ドロッチェ団) are fictional characters in the Kirby series of games created by Nintendo. They appear in the Nintendo DS game Kirby: Squeak Squad.

The Squeaks are a group of mice (or rats) who specialize in stealing things. They are after the treasure that is said to contain an ultimate power, which they steal from King Dedede's castle at the beginning of the game after Kirby defeats Dedede at the end of Level 1, Prism Plains. They are the main antagonists of the game, though they are not the true villains, for the true villain is Dark Nebula.

Daroach

Daroach (Dorocche in the Japanese version) is the boss of the Squeaks. He is shown wearing a red hat and cape and often carries a magic wand in his hand. He is responsible for his gang's quest for the treasure that "grants you the ultimate power". He is the boss of Level 6, Ice Island, and attacks by throwing stars with colored spheres surrounding them from his wand as well as the Triple Star, which Kirby can inhale and fire back at him. He also has a habit of teleporting around and throwing bombs at him, which, in a few seconds explode into pillars of flames. Another attack he has is firing small white/blue laser beams from his wand which'll freeze Kirby if they hit him. After Kirby defeats him, Meta Knight steals the chest and escapes through a door sealed by five colored Star Seals that Kirby needs in order to chase him through it to the Secret Sea, the seventh level. After Kirby fights Meta Knight to reclaim the treasure, Daroach takes it again only to end up being possessed by Dark Nebula (in truth, the treasure he believed to contain an ultimate power really contained Dark Nebula inside it). He is then known as Dark Daroach. Defeating Dark Daroach frees Daroach from Dark Nebula's possession. Kirby also receives the Triple Star afterwards; when he does, 3 stars protect him and he can shoot one of those three stars from the Triple Star.

Spinni

Spinni (Spin in the Japanese version) is a small, yellow mouse who wears red sunglasses, a red scarf, and orange shoes. She is noted for being the fastest member of the Squeaks on her feet. When Spinni appears, it's usually a race against her to see who can claim the treasure chest she's after first. Spinni attacks with a metal claw and shuriken while quickly running and jumping around. Once she grabs a chest, she runs quickly to home base, so Kirby will have to hit her quickly. When Kirby does hit her, it is wise to use ranged powers since she is fast. If you get the chance to suck up one of her shurikens you'll become Ninja Kirby. Likewise, inhaling her metal claw will give Kirby Animal powers.

Storo

Storo (Stron in the Japanese version) is a big, blue, bulky mouse wearing a red sleeveless shirt, a red pirate bandana, and a pirate patch.

Storo is one of the stronger, if not the strongest, member of the Squeaks. He walks rather slow and attacks his opponent by either trying to jump on him/her or whack it with his huge hammer, which makes stars for Kirby to inhale once he slams it into the ground. Since he's so big, it's a little hard to dodge him. When encountered it's usually a test to dodge the beast. To defeat Storo, use melee attacks since he is mainly slow.

Doc

Doc is a small white mouse with a green moustache wearing glasses with red swirls in them. He himself is very weak, so he mainly fights Kirby from inside a fast-moving UFO that he shoots lasers from a small satellite dish, blasts at Kirby with clouds of dust from a vaccumm cleaner-like machine, or drops bombs from a mechanical claw. When fighting Doc, use long-ranged powers that can aim up, or Fighter's uppercut moves. Doc also pilots two bigger machines, which are two of the bosses of the game. The first boss he pilots is the Mecha-Kracko, which looks strikingly like Kracko and is the boss of Level 3, Cushy Cloud. The second is a huge hermit crab-like mecha called Yadogaine, which is the boss of Level 4, Jam Jungle.

Squeakers

Squeakers (Chulins in the Japanese version) are small mice that appear as backup for the Squeaks. They come in four colors; red, green, yellow, and blue. They appear to occupy the members of the Squeaks, but luckily for Kirby, they are the weakest members of the gang, which is why there are several of them. Kirby is able to easily defeat them by just hitting them with anything he's got, but they make up for their weaknesses by swiftly moving and jumping around while throwing bombs in various sizes at him. In the scene shown after Kirby beats Dedede at the end of the Prism Plains, a red Squeaker is shown which gives proof that there are red Squeakers, but surprisingly, only the yellow, green, and blue Squeakers fight Kirby but in a sub-game: Smash ride there are red squeakers on blue stars. Also each Squeaker can do something different, yellow squeakers can jump multiple times, green squeakers can throw bombs and blue squeakers throw big bombs.

Dark Daroach
After Kirby defeats Meta Knight at the end of Secret Sea to reclaim the treasure that supposedly grants its opener an ultimate power, Daroach takes that chest again. However, in truth, that chest contains the evil entity Dark Nebula. As soon as Daroach opens the chest, he becomes possessed by him and is then known as Dark Daroach. He is shown with dark blue/purple fur instead of grey, and his hat and cape are purple instead of red. Dark Daroach is the boss of the Gamble Galaxy.

Dark Daroach moves and attacks the same way he did when he wasn't possessed, except he moves faster and is more powerful and harder to avoid than he was before, making it very annoying. The bombs he throws in this state are red instead of black (on top of that, they are a little larger than the black bombs and when they explode, they create a pillar of flames), and the freezing laser beams he fires are larger than before. Upon being defeated by Kirby, Dark Nebula leaves his body, reverting him back to normal Daroach and his colors back to normal.

In the end
After Kirby defeats Dark Nebula, he goes back to Popstar without his strawberry shortcake (it was the very reason why he started this adventure). Later on though, a shortcake arrives for him from the Squeaks. It's hinted they give it to Kirby as an apology for all the trouble they caused. At the end of the story, they simply left for parts unknown to search for more treasure.

User talk:Kittycataclysm

Duplicate user right
I noticed you have autoreviewed and reviewer user groups. Autoreviewed is deprecated if you have reviewer. Seeing as you are a temp admin, would you get into trouble if you removed it? If so, don't bother. I don't even know why I bother tbh xD. 10:10, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Hi @L10nM4st3r! I wouldn't feel comfortable modifying my own user rights, especially as a temp admin. Is there any problem specifically with having both rights? Or is it just somewhat redundant? —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 03:18, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Its just redundant. Actually happens a lot. I had my autoreviewed right removed when I became a reviewer. See WB:autoreviewed users. I think it says something about this as well. But its not a problem really. Or you could ask a permament admin. 08:57, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
 * and Kittycataclysm: ✅ as the autoreviewer right is simply redundant. While there isn't a problem with having both rights, it can make things like Special:ListUsers a bit more confusing (have had similar issues on my home wiki before another admin removed a bunch of redundant rights from various users). SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 23:08, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Gotcha, thank you! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 01:01, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Potentially useful userscript
If you do not become a permament admin, I made a script designed to quickly report bad/suspicious users. It won't work if you are an admin though, which is a design choice I am unlikely to change.

It is at User:L10nM4st3r/ReportUser.js.

For if you need it. Or if you want it globally. Support for different wikis is currently very low, but if you request a wiki (hopefully English), I'll add that one first. 22:49, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Maybe a more heavily vandalized one? One that needs it the most? 22:53, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * FWIW, simplewiki is a heavily vandalised wiki, but they already use Twinkle to make such requests. SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 02:05, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I will take a look at some point anyway. But it's my birthday today, so I'm not entirely sure when. (btw now I'm 17... or will be just before midnight.) 05:31, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * An early happy birthday to you, ! You'll be 17 in 3 hours where I live tho (AEDT/UTC+11:00) ;-). Even then, it's going to be midnight in the Line Islands in 31 minutes. SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 09:29, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Its 10AM where I live. And I'm ruining my birthday cake xD! Lets hope I can stop eating biscuits like mad before dinner.. 09:53, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I use twinkle global, but it doesn't allow fast, easy reporting of users. So I made the script. 05:32, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

FYI
Hello, Kittycataclysm. For similar page-creation vandals like Mohamed James Wang, in the future, you can use Special:Nuke to delete all the pages a user creates that appears in Special:RecentChanges but in a single click. Just a tip. Best, and thanks for handling that vandal :-) --SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 08:21, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

 * @SHB2000 Thank you, this is super helpful! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 13:21, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

My talkpage protection
Thanks. Also I hope I didn't go too far trying to get him to do something else. Advice? The whole thread is on my talkpage. 22:38, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

 * No worries @L10nM4st3r! You didn't do anything drastically wrong or anything. I personally recommend not engaging with suspected vandals and, more broadly, anyone who seems to be baiting you or is otherwise not engaging in good faith—it's very rarely rewarding and usually just creates more fodder for them. Cheers! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 22:57, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I think it was at least worth a try. Had you not protected my talkpage, I'd have probably ignored anything they posted after. But I guess less work for me :) Oh and I was not interested in their "help". I'd actually be more interested about how sewing machines work. Which actually bore me (geddit? Spoiler in a comment: ) xD 23:04, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Odd, has he just suddenly stopped vandalizing? Or is he being sneaky about it? Then again ive been away for a week or two, so what would i know, but wow, did i just cause a troll to give up? 21:44, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi there
Pls can you give me my page back? I'm using it as a template for some chemistry stuff. Thanks... Ema--or (discuss • contribs) 01:32, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

 * mind you, Wikibooks is not your personal web host. If you're using it as a template, then use an application off-wiki. SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 01:42, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Qualander
Hi, Kittycataclysm, I've changed this user's block from 1 week to indef. as this user has vandalising various other wikis (including my home wiki). Just letting you know since you initially blocked them for a week. --SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 07:41, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Sounds good, thanks for letting me know @SHB2000! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 12:56, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Happy 10,000th :-)
I believe Special:Diff/4242333 might be your 10,000th edit on Wikibooks; regardless, congratulations on reaching this significant milestone on Wikibooks. --SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 22:18, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Algerian Couscous
Hi @Kittycataclysm

Good day,I saw you were reverting my edits on the article Algerian Couscous ,I would love you to explain the reasons or probably the mistake I made while editig.I will encourage you to also tell where I'm wrong,corrections and way forward. Kindly treat as urgent Thanks for your work towards the growth of the Wikimedian foundation.

Warm Regards Sylvesterchukwu04 (discuss • contribs) 12:02, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Hello @Sylvesterchukwu04! Based on the revision history of that page, I don't see any instances of me reverting your edits. I did add the template because the recipe you added was not complete. That template can be removed whenever a recipe is completed, and it looks like you did so. Let me know if you have any other questions! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 15:11, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Reviewing
Hi. I'd like to get the reviewer right here. In practice, I have all the rights of the reviewer user group, except and only except  and I'd like to get that remaining bit. There are a lot of old edits out there that have yet not been reviewed and it would be good to be able to help wherever I am able to. I also have similar patrol/review rights on a bunch of wikis. Regards, --Svartava (discuss • contribs) 16:41, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Hi @Svartava! Requests for permissions should be made at Requests for permissions. Additionally, I am not an official administrator, so I do not have any power to change people's user rights. Cheers! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 21:14, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks for directing me to the appropriate page. Cheers! Svartava (discuss • contribs) 03:42, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Hmm, it looks like I am not far from being autopromoted, so it's probably not much needed. Svartava (discuss • contribs) 03:49, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I realise that this may come across as un-admin-like behaviour (for me), but I'd suggest copyediting a few random pages here and there with a unique edit summary for each edit – you should be autopromoted after a few copyedits, provided that you fulfill the rest of the criteria. --SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 11:50, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @SHB2000 That's an interesting idea. However, after reading Reviewers, I'm not sure I completely fulfill the rest of the criteria especially the  which I find quite vague to be honest. Svartava (discuss • contribs) 13:44, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Svartava I believe that criterion means that out of your total body of edits, there must exist a set of 8 edits that have 2 days between them. If someone were starting from scratch, it would take at minimum 14 days to fulfill this requirement. My understanding is that this is to make sure a user is editing regularly and consistently before being granted the reviewer right. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 18:35, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * What I fail to understand is that, if interpreted that way it would actually not happen in 14 days. With 2 days between each set of 8 edits, in 14 days you'll just have 64 edits, right? (wait, I actually just got the right with this edit, lol!) Svartava (discuss • contribs) 10:38, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I'll admit that I don't really know the full details of this, and I find that statement vague too (but my interpretation is similar to Kittycataclysm's). I'm only an admin here for anti-vandalism purposes, FWIW. SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 20:35, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Question
Hey again - I have a question as a new reviewer in the team. Once an edit has been dealt with or reverted, should it be marked as "checked"? For example, this edit which I reverted. Is the review button treated similarly to the patrol (as you find on other wikis)? Like, a rollbacked edit is automatically marked as patrolled. Svartava (discuss • contribs) 16:11, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Hi @Svartava! As far as I'm aware, the review feature performs a slightly different function to patrolling; edits by non-regular/inexperienced users are visually flagged as needing review to highlight that the edit has not been double-checked by an experienced user. Unaccepting/rolling back an unreviewed edit does not mark anything as "checked"—it just unflags the page for review. On the other hand, accepting an unreviewed edit both unflags the page for review and marks the edit in question as "checked"; I believe this is to let other users know who reviewed the edit. Does this answer your question? —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 18:52, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply, I do get my answer. By the way, I'd also ask why this edit of mine does not get ed? Svartava (discuss • contribs) 05:11, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Svartava Unfortunately the link you asked about is broken, and I couldn't figure out which edit you're referring to :/ —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 12:02, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually, there is yet another such edit: Special:Diff/4243911/4243928 by who is an admin. Yet the edit wasn't autoreviewed?! This seems really strange. Svartava (discuss • contribs) 12:33, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Svartava Because you've already checked that edit, I can't get a closer look at the details. However, I suspect what's happening is that people are rolling back specific edits without approving the entire edit chain. A reviewer can, on a page's history, select "rollback *** edits"; however, if they are just returning to a previous unreviewed edit, it will not automatically review those previously-unreviewed edit(s). This allows reviewers to, for example, revert an instance of obvious vandalism without assuming the responsibility of approving unreviewed edits they are not confident about. Hope this helps! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 18:26, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Right, thanks, that makes sense! Svartava (discuss • contribs) 02:00, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Deletion request
Hello! Could you mass delete pages by Special:Contributions/111.65.45.229 and Special:Contributions/Sacrsdra? I can seriously not believe how such trash edits persisted for so long here. Anyone with knowledge of chess is able to tell that these are just blunders and rubbish moves and not any real gambit. This is pretty much vandalism in my eyes and this is greatly disruptive as well as misleading since popular chess sites like lichess.org (see analysis board) show what we have on our pages. Svartava (discuss • contribs) 04:35, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Also . Svartava (discuss • contribs) 04:36, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello,Help me
Hello, I want to change the pages for copyright violation, only you can help me in this matter. Also, how can I get permission for copyright. Please stay updated and guide me. thank you Mohammad.Hosein.J.Shia (discuss • contribs) 13:53, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
 * You will not get permission to use copyright material. You need to write in your own words, not copy other people's work. MarcGarver (discuss • contribs) 14:21, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @Mohammad.Hosein.J.Shia Per Wikibooks' copyright policy, "if you want to import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, you can only do so if it is available under terms that are compatible with the CC-BY-SA license" and "if the material, text or media, has been previously published and you wish to use it under appropriate license, you will need to verify copyright permission". This means you would need to secure explicit permission from a copyright holder to publish their material on Wikibooks under our license and terms. A template message exists to help people secure permission. However, few copyright holders are willing to relinquish their content, and it can honestly be more trouble than it's worth. As such, I also strongly recommend you write in your own words. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 17:51, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

 * @Kittycataclysm@MarcGarver
 * You mean that I have used a source, I must guarantee it to you and confirm it according to the copyright license. Well, I fully guarantee and confirm these sources that I use.
 * Is this enough for copyright? Mohammad.Hosein.J.Shia (discuss • contribs) 18:08, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @Mohammad.Hosein.J.Shia No, that is not sufficient. You must reach out to the copyright holder asking for permission under the Wikibooks license and terms. If you get permission, you must prove and submit it in writing on Wikibooks, linking it to the page in question. For example, if you are copying and pasting from Encyclopedia Britannica (which you have done), you must submit proof that Encyclopedia Britannica officially gives us permission. However, I highly doubt that will happen. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 18:40, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
 * It allows me because there is no error. Mohammad.Hosein.J.Shia (discuss • contribs) 03:49, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, how do I find the copyright holder? Mohammad.Hosein.J.Shia (discuss • contribs) 09:57, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @Kittycataclysm Mohammad.Hosein.J.Shia (discuss • contribs) 09:58, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * You don't. As per Britannica's terms of service, the entire encyclopedia is under an "all rights reserved" license. SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 10:13, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

MusJabłkowy (discuss • contribs) 19:25, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Hi @MusJabłkowy—thanks for your question! This template is often added to pages/books whose scope or purpose is unclear. In the case of your new book West-East Notation & Bin Notation, the scope and purpose was unclear to me. Books on Wikibooks should have a clearly-identifiable purpose and structure so that others can learn and contribute; if this book does not show signs of being well-developed in this manner, it may be deleted. I hope this is helpful! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 19:36, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Helping User's to my books'
Hello,How are you!?

First of all, thank you for the copyrite that you told me, secondly, I am alone to write a book and I am looking for a few people who are new and experienced, I also applied but it didn't show up, can you tell me what to do? Germany Poul Ah (discuss • contribs) 03:54, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Hi @Germany Poul Ah! Thanks for taking care of the copyright issue. I'm not sure what you mean when you say "I also applied but it didn't show up". Regarding getting people to help you write a book, it's a bit tricky. Wikibooks currently has much lower activity than some other wiki projects (like Wikipedia)—this means we have fewer editors and contributors overall. You could try posting in the projects page to let the community know you're looking for more authors, but we just don't have many people who might respond. You might have more success talking to people you already know to see if they would be interested in helping. Cheers! Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 13:40, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

___
 * Hello, please.

So you are saying that I should give a notice that (I need help to write my own books)? But let us tell you about one thing. The statistics estimated the number of users of wikibooks to be almost 400 people. The number is not small. I can find at least 8 of the 400 users of wikibooks who have intellectual genius for mathematics. Germany Poul Ah (discuss • contribs) 13:41, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

 * It's true that 400 people may seems like a lot, but the community engagement is fairly low. Still, you are more than welcome to reach out to specific users to ask them for help! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 13:44, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Interesting offer
Hello dear user, instead of using English sources to write the book, I decided to use Wikipedia and English sources from Wikipedia and German, French, Arabic, Persian, Italian, etc. to write the book. What do you think?

In this way, copyright is not violated much. Germany Poul Ah (discuss • contribs) 10:41, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Hello @Germany Poul Ah—I apologize for my delayed response. Are you asking if it's allowed to copy verbatim from other wiki projects? It is not appropriate to copy verbatim from other projects without leaving a "trail" to maintain edit history. If you wish to take content directly from other wiki projects, you should request an import of a page into Wikibooks, then move/dewikify/translate that content in your book as appropriate. If an import is not possible, then you should preserve the edit trail by linking to the original page in the edit summary. Does this make sense? —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 16:56, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello, I also apologize. I was angry. I thought you had a disagreement with me and did not want to talk to me.
 * But in the end, we shouldn't take it seriously. So, thank you for answering me. Germany Poul Ah (discuss • contribs) 02:34, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Also, @Kittycataclysm can I request permission to copy and edit the English sources that I want to write with? Germany Poul Ah (discuss • contribs) 02:39, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * In the meantime, @Kittycataclysm how do I apply for permission to sister projects of Wikibooks and other Google projects? Germany Poul Ah (discuss • contribs) 02:51, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not quite sure what you mean. If there's a page from another wiki project that you want to import, you can make a request at the Requests for import page. Does that help? —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 20:45, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Kittycataclysm, how are you doing? Yayyy, it’s me again, we e-met sometimes ago when we held the Nigerian Cuisine event which saw the cookbook been enriched with a lot of Nigerian cuisine, thank you so much for your support throughout the project.

This is to bring to your notice that we have initiated a follow up project called African Cuisine - AfroCuisine - Meta (wikimedia.org), to drill down into some more African cuisine and specifically improve and clean up some of the articles created during Nigerian Cuisine.

We will commence training the new and existing editors on 17th, June 2023. ￼

As always, your support would really be appreciated. Kind regard B.Korlah (discuss • contribs) 14:37, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Nice to see you again @B.Korlah! I'll keep an eye out for this—let me know if you need any help. As a refresher for new editors, I am linking Cookbook:Policy, Cookbook:Help, Cookbook:FAQ, and Cookbook:Policy/Recipe template. Cheers! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 14:58, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

Thank you very much for this, I really appreciate. I’d let you know if I need any further assistance. If there’s anything, feel free to ping me B.Korlah (discuss • contribs) 18:47, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Hi @B.Korlah! Could you please make sure contributors from this project are fully matching the cookbook policy and the recipe template? I have had to make significant corrections on many recipes, including spelling, formatting, linking, and more. Thank you! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 14:31, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much @Kittycataclysm. I can see all the works you’re doing and I am also following up on them. You’d see changes soon.

Is this reference correct?
Hi@Kittycataclysm.I used this German link to expand the parallelogram article, some of its sources are in English, and I edited it and mentioned the source. Is this acceptable?

Here is the link:https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelepiped

I was afraid to write with another source after that blocking. Germany Poul Ah (discuss • contribs) 05:47, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Hi @Germany Poul Ah! Yes that's fine. Just please put the link to the original wiki article in the edit summary. You could say something like "added content from German Wikipedia (*link goes here*)". No need to make an inline citation. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 12:54, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

Afrocuisine
Hi how are you doing? I'm reaching out to an administrative person here on Wikibooks Cookbook, tried reaching out to Mrjulesd who was really helpful when I started editing here on Wikibooks but I haven't gotten a reply yet.

But I'm reaching out to bring to your notice that a follow-up project called African Cuisine which is basically the 2.0 of Nigerian cuisine would be starting on the 17th of June, this project aims to add more African cuisines to the Wikibook cookbook and specifically improve and clean up some of the articles created during Nigerian Cuisine.

Your support would really be appreciated.

Kind regards,

Richard.

Question
Hello, I did not copy from English Wikipedia and I use German, French, Persian, Arabic, Italian Wikipedias and sources along with English and I copy and Use some of them (except English Wikipedia and sources), did I do something wrong? Germany Poul Ah (discuss • contribs) 18:38, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

 * @Germany Poul Ah As I have told you, if you take content from any other Wiki project (even translated from other languages), you must maintain the chain of attribution by importing or linking to the original in the edit summary. If you do not continue the chain of attribution, it is a policy violation. I have explained this multiple times, but you continue to violate policy—further violations will result in a block. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 00:25, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
 * If I cite the source and edit it in the summary, is it a solution? Germany Poul Ah (discuss • contribs) 03:09, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello again, I have a thought My opinion is to make the book again and delete all the content at once. Germany Poul Ah (discuss • contribs) 05:33, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
 * @Germany Poul Ah Yes, putting the link to the original Wiki article in the edit summary is acceptable attribution. I don't know what you mean regarding deleting the book. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 21:23, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

HI
Hello, dear user, I found a text from a site where the text of Wikipedia 2007 can be placed, can I use it?

This is the 2007 Wikipedia text

Euclidean geometry is a mathematical well-known system attributed to the Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria. Euclid's text Elements was the first systematic discussion of geometry. It has been one of the most influential books in history, as much for its method as for its mathematical content. The method consists of assuming a small set of intuitively appealing axioms, and then proving many other propositions ( theorems) from those axioms. Although many of Euclid's results had been stated by earlier Greek mathematicians, Euclid was the first to show how these propositions could be fitted together into a comprehensive deductive and logical system.

The Elements begin with plane geometry, still often taught in secondary school as the first axiomatic system and the first examples of formal proof. The Elements goes on to the solid geometry of three dimensions, and Euclidean geometry was subsequently extended to any finite number of dimensions. Much of the Elements states results of what is now called number theory, proved using geometrical methods.

For over two thousand years, the adjective "Euclidean" was unnecessary because no other sort of geometry had been conceived. Euclid's axioms seemed so intuitively obvious that any theorem proved from them was deemed true in an absolute sense. Many other consistent formal geometries are now known, the first ones being discovered in the early 19th century. It also is no longer taken for granted that Euclidean geometry describes physical space. An implication of Einstein's theory of general relativity is that Euclidean geometry is only a good approximation to the properties of physical space if the gravitational field is not too strong.

Religion of Shia Islam
Hello, the book of the Shiite religion, as the name suggests, this book is for Shiites. But you say this article should be unbiased. Why?

This article is for Shiites and should not be written impartially.

been gone for a few weeks, what a transformation!😮 Germany Poul Ah (discuss • contribs) 19:01, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Hi @Germany Poul Ah. I said that the book should be written from a neutral point of view because of the wikibooks neutral point of view policy. My understanding of the policy suggests that a book on Shia Islam should be educational about the topics and beliefs in the religion (i.e. a description of the faith) without necessarily espousing those beliefs. Much of the content you have added can be considered educational, but I think it needs to be edited accordingly for neutrality. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 01:39, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Additionally, it is good practice to cite the sources of your information. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 01:41, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course, but since the book is about Shiites, it should be based on the beliefs of Shiites.
 * Also, don't worry about the source
 * I write like "Wikishia" Germany Poul Ah (discuss • contribs) 03:49, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @Germany Poul Ah. You are correct that the book should be about Shiite Islam and the beliefs of Shiites; however, it needs to be written from a neutral point of view per the policy. I understand that NPOV is difficult to achieve as a single author, so I may be able to help edit for neutrality to at least show you what I mean.
 * Regarding sourcing, I can't "not worry about the source". It is important to have a minimum of sourcing for educational books, especially for those based in historical/cultural events like this book is, and this too is policy. —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 14:00, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * @Kittycataclysm hi Well, don't worry about the source, I will make them Generalization with an article. Germany Poul Ah (discuss • contribs) 18:20, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * @Kittycataclysm Hi,I did not understand the definite opinion, I can write based on the opinions of Muslims or speak impartially.
 * But my opinion is that this book should not be written impartially because I don't can to write impartial things as a Muslim. Please guide me, I am completely confused. Germany Poul Ah (discuss • contribs) 04:51, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Fuzzball article
With regard to Wikibook’s Fuzzball (string theory) article, I had originally created it on Wikipedia but another editor found it too expansive (a book-like treatise on a broad subject matter) for Wikipedia and took it over, deleting the majority of it. Then another editor over there suggested that Wikibooks would be a more suitable location.

So I did a raw import to here on Wikibooks last night; it obviously needs some work to trim out unnecessary external links to en.wikipedia; this could take me up to a week.

The ostensible reason for trimming out so much material from what I had there was it included notes explaining things, like how the names of “Theory of Special Relativity” and “Theory of General Relativity” got their names. The original paper’s names by Einstein were things like “On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies.” And when I researched the issue, I’d stumble across discussions on Physics Stacks Exchange where people had asked these same questions and no one was able to properly answer them. So I dug down and found out that it was Einstein himself who gave his theories their modern names.

I tried to make my article a full-service book-like treatise that answered specific questions and covered the historical ground work that got us from Einstein to today.

Here is a permalink to what I originally had on Wikipedia before the new editor gutted it. Based on what you see there, do you think it can be transformed into something that fits well here?

If you think it looks like something that has promise for residing here, would you mind replacing the current tag with one of those “sweeping broom” (under construction) tags? It shouldn’t take more than a week to get it 90% there.

P.S. By the way, six of the images—including the animation of the collapse—that you see on that perma-link to Wikipedia are ones I created specifically for this article. I believe that communicating with images and graphs makes PowerPoint presentations, white papers, and books, more interesting and informative.

P.P.S. I copied the article to my sandbox, which I believe is the ideal place for conversion work. What do you think is the best way to show the article-space as a temporary work in progress? A “broom” tag? A stub? A stub and a broom tag? Other?

Greg L (discuss • contribs) 18:06, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Hi @Greg L. I took a look at the materials you linked and at your note at User talk:Mrjulesd. As it stands, I feel like it would make sense to incorporate it into an existing book, rather than creating an entirely new book around it. One-off articles are more out of place here than on Wikipedia. Can you take a look at Shelf:Physics and see if your work could be incorporated into one of the books there? In the meantime, working on it in your sandbox is completely fine. Cheers —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 19:56, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

 * As far as I can tell, Fuzzball (string theory) would best belong as a book #7 under 13. Black holes at General Astronomy. Yes? Greg L (discuss • contribs) 01:30, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Redirect I created was deleted by you
Hi ,

I just checked my watchlist and I see that you deleted a redirect I created yesterday. I would like to apologize for creating additional work for you. My intention was to help, not to increase your work load.

I will refrain from making any more changes to the cookbook from now on. Sorry to have troubled you. Ottawahitech (discuss • contribs) 14:37, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

 * @Ottawahitech Please don't worry about it! It's not a big issue, and you are welcome to continue contributing. It's a learning process :) —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 18:36, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * @Kittycataclysm: Thank you for your gracious reply.
 * Since we have not interacted before I would like to explain why I posted this in the first place. I have been part of the Wikimedia movement since 2007 (yes, I am ancient:), first at enwp exclusively until about 2012. After I was shunned from enwp in 2017 I have participated quite extensively in other sister-projects, perhaps a bit less enthusiastically than my first 10 years.
 * Since I joined the movement I have had trouble with my contributions being deleted, not reverted or undone, but deleted by admins. Many of these deletion were carried out "silently", as in without telling me about the deletion. I have therefore become very sensitive about this. Deleted contributions disappear from the contribution page of participants, so for someone who only participates sporadically and uses their contribution page to refresh memory this is a real issue, especially if many of the contributions they make end up being deleted without notifications.
 * I hope I am making sense? Ottawahitech (discuss • contribs) 19:08, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I can definitely understand how that would be frustrating! If helpful, I can make sure to alert upon page deletions. Cheers —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 01:57, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks again for the gracious offer. I just tried to explain the way things look like from the POV of a low-key, low-input, good-faith contributor, but please do not go out of your way to treat me differently than others are treated at WB. I will continue to try and help whenever I get a chance. Ottawahitech (discuss • contribs) 15:58, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

"Zuppa toscana", not "zuppa Toscana"
Hi, your move of the "zuppa toscana" page to "zuppa Toscana" is incorrect, please read these three conversations: wikipedia:Talk:Pecorino romano; wikipedia:Talk:Pecorino romano; wikipedia:Talk: Caffè americano. However, the title case page states: "When using title case, all words are capitalized, except for minor words (typically articles, short prepositions, and some conjunctions) that are not the first or last word of the title."; "toscano" is and adjective. JackkBrown (discuss • contribs) 16:53, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi @JackkBrown. Wikibooks is not Wikipedia, and its stylistic conventions do not necessarily apply here. As I noted on your talk page, the stylistic conventions of the cookbook here are such that recipe titles are in title case, with English (not Italian) capitalization conventions and major words capitalized. It is worth noting that each book here may have different stylistic conventions, but this is how titles should work in the cookbook.

Free Knowledge Culture Calendar
It largely unclear to me what clarifications you’re asking for, and I feel a bit pressured, to be honest. (Like I need to guard my content against deletionists or something.) Early on after I started publishing here, I tried to document the vision I was working towards concisely, yet accurately and in detail, on the main talk page for any potential co-authors. Did you notice that at all?...

I’m trying to do a kind of innovative history book that is easy to engage, with bite-sized information that fits between two sips of coffee, e.g. to be consumed daily at breakfast or as login MOTDs. I feel like the biggest chunk of work and research is done and it’s provisionally already somewhat functional: You might not realize at first glance how much work it is to find a topic/story for each day of the year. While quality of the topics could surely be improved here and there, this work has reached a provisional conclusion. – Now all that remains is to write the stories, and that should be much more straightforward in comparison and easier to participate in.

For an idea of one thing this can be, to the right there’s a photo of the first paper prototype, e.g. for the breakfast table. You are very welcome to leave point notes on individual stories, find the single best media piece for further study of a topic, work on good complementary illustrations, flesh out a story, give any actionable feedback, or come up with a better title.--Reseletti (discuss • contribs) 19:07, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Hi @Reseletti and thanks for the information! I queried the book because it seemed mostly abandoned for over a year, the handful of random pages I clicked on only had one sentence each, and I didn't fully understand the concept based on the talk page. It seems like a lot of the pages still need to be fleshed out (I imagine maybe a paragraph each to reasonably form a book?) Just out of curiosity, do you plan on resuming the work on the book?

@Kittycataclysm and @Az1568, I don't quite understand; why was this tagged and deleted? The criterion cited says Abandoned pages displaying intent, but no actual content, but I'd argue there was a decent amount of content in the few deleted pages. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 17:27, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Hi @1234qwer1234qwer4! I believe I initially queried it while sorting through old abandoned books because the scope and future of the book were unclear to me, and I couldn't see a way forward for it. It turns out that queried books end up in candidates for speedy deletion after a certain period, which I think is how it eventually got deleted by @Az1568. Cheers —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 18:32, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Yep that's correct. The book has appeared largely undeveloped since 2018, and unfortunately, there were no attempts to oppose the initial query left on the book itself, nor were there attempts to expand on its content. --Az1568 (discuss • contribs) 20:05, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
 * So how exactly is this reflected in policy? 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 14:09, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi @1234qwer1234qwer4! So, I went back to take a look at it. The book consisted of two pages, with no introduction or clarification of scope/aims/educational relevance. It seems to just have been some mathematical definitions with no accompanying educational/instructional material. It was also abandoned for several years. I only intended to query it, but it did seem to meet criteria for deletion at Deletion policy. Notably, the policy says to "delete stubs that are too narrowly defined or do not have a decent definition of what they are about", which I do think applied to this book as mentioned. It's possible that it should have been a RFD instead of a speedy deletion, but I do think overall it makes sense according to policy.

Sderot
Hi, I have noticed your edit in October 7th Massacre/Sderot. Could you please explain why you found in necessary to remove 2,462 bytes of content? I have noticed that you have not only changed the style and the grammar, but have also removed many details that would help the reader understand the events better. Thanks in advance, -D1n05aur5 4ever (discuss • contribs) 08:46, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Hi @D1n05aur5 4ever—I am happy to explain my edits! They were based on the following:
 * Style: Wikibooks uses a neutral educational style, and NPOV is important. The initial style of the chapter was less like a neutral informational text and more like storytelling, with embellishment and attention drawn to certain details in a more literary way that evokes specific images and emotions. I removed content that I felt detracted from the desired NPOV style or that I felt was otherwise distracting, etc.
 * Caution: Because this book revolves around a very recent and polarizing event, the surrounding conflict of which is still ongoing and the details of which are still hotly discussed, I think it is especially important to aim for neutrality.
 * Iteration: Because Wikibooks is a collaborative project, books develop from an iterative process to refine the content—it's not just a place to self-publish one's own book. You contributed the initial version, I iterated on it, and so on.
 * If you have specific questions about specific changes I made, I am happy to explain and discuss those as well. Cheers! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 12:16, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi Kittycataclysm. Thank you very much for the the detailed response. Maybe I haven’t made that clear in the initial message, but I didn’t ask why was it necessary to iterate on the text. I asked why it was necessary to remove such an extensive amount of details. I don’t feel like I have written the original text with “embellishment and attention drawn to certain details in a more literary way that evokes specific images and emotions”. Of course describing a massacre does evoke emotions, however I don’t see this as a reason not to describe the events of October 7th as they happened. -D1n05aur5 4ever (discuss • contribs) 13:36, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Gotcha. In terms of removing content, I removed details when I felt they met one or more of the following criteria:
 * Overly wordy/inefficient/clunky language (e.g. "They ran to the shelter, which was locked" --> "They ran to a locked shelter")
 * Indicative of subjective/non-neutral experience that is not necessary to understand the larger events that took place (e.g. "He understood on the first alarm that something isn’t right", "She was used to alarms", "it took her a while to understand what is going on", "“We behaved like in the story of Anne Frank”", "When she understood the electricity won’t come back", "The kids panicked and even told “We don't want to die, we are too little”", etc).
 * Excessive detail that is not necessary to understand the larger events that took place ("her husband, who works as a warden, had to go to work", "elderly people, including Holocaust survivors", etc).
 * Loaded language (e.g. "slaughtered" vs "killed", "terrorist" vs "attacker"/"assailant", etc)
 * In some cases, I reworded things in a way that made them more concise, which decreased the overall content. Whenever I assess a sentence, paragraph, etc., I always evaluate its purpose and its effect, as well as whether it accomplishes the aims of the book and the Wikibooks project.
 * Cheers! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 18:39, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the response! I have a few problems with it:
 * About the locked shelter part, I think the best way to word it would be “they ran to the shelter only to find out that it was locked”.
 * I don’t understand why the book can’t include the experiences of the witnesses. I would argue that the part saying “She was used to alarms” does indeed help understand the larger events (in that she was used to alarms since she heard many alarms before that). I didn’t really understand why a book on a massacre shouldn’t include these details.
 * Again, please elaborate what you mean by “larger events” and by what extent an event has to be “large” in order to be noteworthy.
 * Feels for me more like factual language than loaded. I’m not sure why calling terrorists “terrorists” is against NPOV.
 * Thanks in advance,-D1n05aur5 4ever (discuss • contribs) 06:08, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
 * , what is your opinion on the topic? -08:20, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi @D1n05aur5 4ever—my apologies for the delayed response! Here are my responses:
 * Locked shelter: Here I would ask why you feel that is the best way to word it. I made the change I did in order to convey the key facts (locked shelter) in the most concise and neutral way possible. I'm curious why you don't think it is appropriate.
 * Witness experiences: I do think witness experiences can have value here. However, I think they must be used judiciously in order to best serve the purpose and scope of the book—a near infinite number of facts, statements, details, reports, etc could be included from the events, but not all of them need to be included in this book. It is challenging to make a blanket statement about what and how many witness experiences are relevant here, and it must instead be evaluated continuously through revision. I also think it's important to make it obvious that you're citing someone else's perspective when including it (e.g. "they said", "they reported", "according to ***") rather than narrating from their perspective.
 * Event and detail inclusion: Again, it's hard to make a blanket statement outright on what details out of the many merit inclusion, and whether something is relevant is typically determined by book scope, revision, and consensus. I would argue that for this book, it doesn't make sense to spend words describing things like what shirt someone happens to be wearing, details related to their everyday life, their detailed personal perceptual experiences, etc.
 * Loaded language: It may be helpful to take a look at these resources on loaded language, as well as Loaded language for context and overall guidance. Regarding the term "terrorist" specifically, Terrorism may be helpful as well—note its status as a charged and disputed term with strong non-neutral connotations. The term "attacker" still correctly describes the events taking place without inadvertently inserting strong connotations and leaning into political territory.
 * Cheers —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 15:36, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply!
 * My problem with “locked shelter” is that it kind of makes it sound as if they knew the shelter was locked when they ran towards it.
 * I think I made it clear that I’m citing other people’s perceptive, however if not, I’m willing to edit the text.
 * Details about personal lives of people were only included when they helped the reader understand the events. We can’t assume the reader to be familiar with the frequency of alarms in Sderot. That’s why I think it’s necessary to explain that while she was used to alarms, this event was unprecedented. Such details help the reader understand the event better. In my opinion such an unprecedented event such as the October 7th massacre deserves a detailed book describing the events that took place.
 * I’m not convinced that the word “terrorist” is a politically loaded word. I still think it’s simply a factual description of them, though the word “attacker” is still technically correct.
 * Cheers! -D1n05aur5 4ever (discuss • contribs) 19:34, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

A little advice
Hello, I am currently on working on Cookbook: Honey Mug Cake. Any advice or anything to help? I can't help but feel something is missing from it. Soapyduck (discuss • contribs) 09:35, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Hello! I went through and made some edits, which you can see in the revision history. Cheers —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 02:20, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Accessibility
The structure you chose for Cookbook:Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Black Forest Cake) II has the unfortunate side effect that people can't link to the first four subsections in ==Procedure==. Cookbook:Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Black Forest Cake) II will take them to the first. Do you have any ideas about how to make these later sections accessible to everyone? WhatamIdoing (discuss • contribs) 06:19, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Hi @WhatamIdoing—thanks for checking in! In order to link to a second identical heading, you just use an underscore plus an index. So, to link to the second cake heading, you would use this: Cookbook:Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Black Forest Cake) II. Hope this helps! —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 12:10, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * That's nice for the few of us who know that trick, but it doesn't help the 99.9999% of readers who aren't experts in MediaWiki's quirks. WhatamIdoing (discuss • contribs) 23:35, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * It's not ideal, but it's also the best we can do for now. --SHB2000 (discuss • contribs) 23:52, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The original structure for the page had no duplicate section headings. Perhaps we should go back to that. WhatamIdoing (discuss • contribs) 00:43, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi @WhatamIdoing. I definitely understand your concern. However, the changes I made were to bring the recipe into alignment with the recipe template and all other recipes in the Cookbook. It is also a very common current standard for recipe-writing in English. Moreover, I think this kind of linking is actually very simple and very easy to teach/communicate—much more so than some other common MediaWiki features—and it is not unreasonable to expect editors to learn editing tips and tricks like this over time from more experienced users. You asked, and now you know a simple new trick to help with editing :) As an aside, I'm also not sure how often linking to subheadings like this is even used in the Cookbook, so I don't think it's a very big issue at the moment. Cheers —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 01:29, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Perhaps, if the standard recipe template creates accessibility problems for blind readers, we should have a better recipe template.
 * BTW, I've been editing for about 18 years now, so unlike you, I was around when that "simple new trick" was introduced to MediaWiki. I know how it works.  This is a problem for readers, not for me personally.  The problem isn't when an editor wants to put a link to the section (which happens on the talk page more often than in the cookbook).  Imagine that a reader wants to ask a friend about this recipe.  Think about a social media post that says "I'm confused by the directions in Cookbook:Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Black Forest Cake) II ".  That won't end up where the reader expected it to go, right?  And while people who (like me) have made more than 100K edits at Wikipedia will probably know what to do, a reader is not going to be able to fix it. WhatamIdoing (discuss • contribs) 21:27, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @WhatamIdoing I definitely agree with you that web inaccessibility is a problem! I'm just having a hard time understanding this particular case. I find it hard to imagine someone who is savvy enough to know that you can link to specific subheadings by hashing, but isn't savvy enough to know about the indexing system to modify it. Have you seen this come up as a problem before? At any rate, I've modified the headings here so they are specific enough to not need the indexing. Cheers —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 01:13, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, it happens sometimes. That's one of the reasons why enwiki requires unique section headings. WhatamIdoing (discuss • contribs) 00:07, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Rust for the Novice Programmer/Arrays and Vectors

Arrays
Now assume we wanted to store some numbers and find the median of them. As a stats 101 refresher, the median is the value in the centre if they are ordered. So as an example, out of 9, 3, 8, 2, 7 the median value is 7 since 2 and 3 are the lowest two, 8 and 9 are the highest two and 7 is in the middle. Now the question is how do we store the numbers? We could do something like this: However, this has many downsides. We have to remember and use the variable names; we would have to refer to them directly and there's no easy way to go through every number without a manual process. That's why there is a built-in way to deal with these, called an array: An array is a list of things, organised so you use the order in the list to refer to it. An important thing to note is that the first thing in the array is referred to as the 0th element and you get it by using square brackets. Also an array's type is [type of thing; number of things]. We can explicitly write it out as follows: This will print out 9 since it is the first element of numbers. Say we wanted to print all the elements in numbers, how could we do this? We can use a tool from the previous page, which is the for loop and ranges. To get the number of elements in numbers, we can use numbers.len. This is a function on a type, so you can use it with a dot after any array to get its length. We do have the length above but if we change the number of elements, the .len will still work correctly, so this helps to keep it easy to change. With all that, here's the way to loop through and print all the values in the array: The index is the name for the number of the array corresponding to the value inside. Using [] brackets to get a value is called indexing into the array. Note that because the array starts at 0, and because ranges are non-inclusive, index goes from 0 to 4 but not to 5. If we tried to run Our compiler complains that this operation will panic at runtime. Panicking is what it is referred to in Rust when something illegal is done, so the program just stops running. You never want to panic, so our compiler tries to help us out! The Rust compiler is quite smart and will help us out a lot.

So now we want to write a function to get the median of an array of values: The most obvious way would be to sort the array so it is in order, then get the middle value. How do we sort an array? A simple method is to go through from left to right and left to right again and if a number on the right is larger to swap them. This is quite a weird concept to get your head around, so here's the code:

Note the for loop inside the other for loop. This is called a nested for loop and means for each value in the array, all the other values will be compared against it. Also the inner for loop's range starts at the index of the outer one. This is so we don't compare values that have already been compared, it's not strictly necessary but it means we don't do unnecessary steps. The array.swap function is one like the .len one earlier, but it takes two parameters which are indices(the plural of index) into the array and swaps those two values. This whole thing is called an algorithm which is a series of steps to solve a problem. Sorting arrays is a classic algorithm since it is very common and this is quite a simple one. Next, we should return the median of the array. The median is the centre point of the array, so we could just do array.len / 2 right? Well, if the length is odd, since it is integer division we will get an integer which will work for the centre of the array. For this example, 5 / 2 = 2 with integer division which is the middlepoint of the array. However, if the array has even length then the median is the average of the middle two values. To get the average of two values we simply add them together and divide by 2. This all means our final get_median function is: Note that we include brackets around the middle values when adding them and dividing by 2. This is because maths in Rust follows the order of operations, so division occurs before addition. Since we want the addition to happen first, we put the brackets around to tell Rust it happens first. Also we use the value % 2 == 0 to check if the length is divisible by 2 which is what even or odd are. Next, if we plug this into our main:

We get the 7 out that we calculated at the start!

However, what if we wanted to use different sized arrays? Note that we had to include the 5 in the type in the parameters in the get_median function. Arrays are quite limited in that they must always have exactly the number of elements we say before we run the program. This also means the function we wrote can only take arrays of size 5. The solution to this problem is to use vectors instead. A vector is like an array in that it stores a bunch of the same type of thing in order, but the difference is they can grow and shrink and have different numbers of elements in them. The easiest way to create a vector is to use vec![] as follows: Note that we are using the ! at the end again, much like println! The ! shows that this is a macro. Macros are somewhat more complicated so will be explained later. For now, using vec![] like this will produce a vector that is the same as the array before. Then we change the get_median function to: We just change the type of the input and it will work correctly. Note that we have to use <> after Vec to indicate the type. Also, we don't have to write the number of elements into the type since a vector can change its size. Now, we can change main to try different sets of numbers: And after running this, we get out: 7, 6 and 14?

Wait that's not right, 7 is correct but the median of the second one should be 6.5 as the average between 6 and 7. And the last one should be 14.5 as the average between 3 and 26. This is because we're doing integer division here, so it gives us the integer value, which isn't what we want. This brings us on to the next topic: number conversions.

Talk:Ada Programming/Attributes/'Position

Hi, Manuel, I've got a problem with the book's Ada Programming structure. While the basic structure is OK, there are some pages with duplication that could be improved.

I was looking for representation clauses and didn't find them in the types chapter about records. I found them in the page for keywords about kw for and again about kw use. A senseless duplication.

There are further examples like attributes Compose and Fraction, which should be dealed together in one page.

Similarly, the attributes Position, First_Bit and Last_Bit should be handled together. (Currently, only the page for Position exists.) These three are now dealt with (my improved contribution) in the page about kw use (not the optimal place).

So for the time being, I would propose:

 * Delete page attribute Position; replace the link by the one to kw use.
 * Delete one of the pages Compose and Fraction; treat them together on the remaining page and link them both to the same page.

I guess there are some more such duplications.

I would do the text improvements, but do not know how to delete pages (there would perhaps remain unresolved links.

Christoph CKWG - Ada Magica (discuss • contribs) 11:48, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Hi, @CKWG - Ada Magica, in my opinion, and I think that were the initial intention of the keyword pages, they should only contain a phrase for each of the contexts where they are used, and a link to the appropriate content page where that topic is explained in detail. That should avoid the duplication. The same could be said for attributes, unless in some cases, where they could be considered the "topic" page, when they have a very specific and isolated usage. So I agree with the "refactoring" you are proposing. In any case, no deletion is required. Everything should be resolved using page moves and redirections, so any authorship and content evolution is preserved in the page histories. -- ManuelGR (discuss • contribs) 18:30, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Links to Ada reference Manual
Links to the Ada Reference Manual still use the outdated 2005 generation. There has been the 2012 generation around for now ten years. And Ada 2022 is on the doorstep.

It's high time the reference were updated to 2012 (and to 2022 as soon as this is officially accepted by ISO) - but I do not know where to find the templates.

CKWG - Ada Magica (discuss • contribs) 10:55, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

 * @CKWG - Ada Magica: I agree. The most productive years in the writing were before 2012 and that is still visible in the current contents. At the end of the first page, there's a link to the "Contributing" page, namely: WikiProject_Ada. This might be the information you are seeking. There are links to the templates and information on how to use them. Let me know if something is still not clear. ManuelGR (discuss • contribs) 16:40, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
 * How do I write curly braces without their special meaning? In the following, I replace them by parentheses.
 * There is a mistake on Template:Ada/RM/doc: I claims ((Ada/RM|C|3|2)) gives a link to Ada 2012 with text C.3.2: The Package Interrupts. That's incorrect, it simply gives the text C.3.2. Hu? How come?
 * So I tried in page Ada Programming/Attributes/'Machine Radix to replace the old reference to 2005 by writing
 * ((Ada/RM|K|Language-Defined Aspects and Attributes))
 * This astonishingly results in the text
 * Aspects and Atributes.html K. Language-Defined Aspects and Attributes
 * with unresolvable link. I give up. Too many obstacles.

 * The documentation was not correctly written to display the title parameter. Previously, there were a lot of templates, because a different one was needed for each chapter depth, but now they are overloaded, and as a consequence, the title parameter has to be named. You can see now how it can be used in Template:Ada/RM, and an example of an update from the old version templates in this edit.

The first “real” use of the typesetting system TeX was for a christmas present in 1978. It is perhaps the oldest surviving free software project, dating from before the PC and the computer mouse. Its markup language was an important influence for HTML, and its arrival in India catalyzed the formation of the local Free Software movement in the late 1980s. With its perfectionist concept, this cornerstone of digital typesetting software is still valued today in one form or another for its high quality output.

Cookbook:Apple Cider

Apple cider, not to be confused with hard cider or 'apple juice', is a nonalcoholic beverage made from apples.

Characteristics
Apple cider is the fresh juice pressed from apples. Unlike "apple juice", apple cider is cloudy and contains sediment, and it is rarely pasteurized or sweetened.

The flavor profile of a cider will largely depend on the variety of apple (single or a mixture) used to make it.

Selection and storage
Apple cider usually needs to be refrigerated, where it will keep for around a week.

Use
As a seasonal product, apple cider is typically consumed as a fall beverage, often hot and mulled with spices. It is also often used in both savory and sweet dishes to lend an apple flavor in addition to sugar and moisture.

Cookbook:Anchovy Paste

Anchovy paste is a condiment made primarily of ground anchovies.

Characteristics
The spreadable paste is made of ground cured anchovies combined with salt and often additional components such as vinegar, fat, or other seasonings. It is very concentrated in flavor, tasting deeply salty and savory.

Selection and storage
Anchovy paste has a relatively long shelf life of 1–2 years when properly stored in the fridge. Make sure it is completely sealed, and discard it if it develops off or unusual odors.

Use
Sometimes more convenient than whole anchovies, the paste is very useful for adding complex umami flavor to dishes. It dissolves easily, and typically only a small amount is needed. Although it is fish-based, it usually doesn't have an overtly fishy taste, instead playing a supporting role in flavoring a dish. It is especially common in sauces, soups, dressings, and marinades. Experiment with incorporating small amounts into dishes to add a savory flavor.

Vienna Game, Frankenstein-Dracula Variation
The players have reached the base position of the Frankenstein-Dracula opening. Such variant owes its name to Tim Harding, a chess author that, in his 1973 book "Bishop’s Opening", commented that, because of its extreme sharpness, it would have been appropriate for a duel between the two literary monsters. Harding then explicitly introduced the name "Frankenstein-Dracula Variation" in his 1976 book about Vienna Opening.

The position is, indeed, very delicate: White has a Rook more, but he is likely to lose the Knight in a8, so that he has actually only an exchange advantage. The backdraw of this material gain is the underdevelopment: during the first ten moves, White has touched four times his Queen's Knight that is about to be captured, and three times the Queen, so that his only developed light piece is the Bb3. Moreover, his Queen is in a risky position in the middle of the board, with very few escape routes in case she was attacked. On the contrary, Black has gained space with pawns, his Knights are active and the Bishops are ready to be placed on important diagonals. Black can therefore begin a dangerous attack.

White must therefore consolidate his position. In parallel, he should prepare a counterattack against the opposite King, which is not well fortified. In the immediate, after a series of nearly forced moves, he has however various choices: he can try to recover his delay in development by playing moves such as d3, d4 or Nf3, bring the Queen to a safer place with Qf3, or even grab another pawn with Nxb6. According to the chess writer Carsten Hansen (as of 2000), this last choice is the main line. The move 11. d3 is instead described by Hansen as a previous main line, while Harding in 1998 considered it the most usual choice.
