I have merged these to Python Programming/3rd-party modules. 21:19, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 * There are at least two problems:
 * You didn't add everything into Python Programming/3rd-party modules (eg: "import MySQLdb").
 * The topic of Python Programming/3rd-party modules seems to large to me, and its content must be too long to avoid scrolling a lot when searching a needle in the haystack on a slow page. Moreover, this lack of precision is undesirable to create the links to the sister project (eg: numpy, PyQt), which could bring us more visitors.
 * JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 09:46, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Page merges inside a project only require community consensus if you seek reassurances regarding your actions, consensus should be gathered among the project's editors and a merge tag is not necessary, you do the job yourself unposed or express your "merge" concept on the project's talk page.
 * I move that this talk stream should indeed be move to the project's talk page and no merge tag be used on individual project pages (this is not Wikipedia).
 * PS: Page merges are distinct from deletions (like the one above on the same book space (deletions merit a discussion if content or structure is lost, as we do not outright delete stubs and proposed for deletion content may be of use elsewhere)). --Panic (discuss • contribs) 11:24, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Per JackPotte and Panic. There would be no real gain out of such a merge; it would result in a potentially overlong page that merely agglutinates disjoint topics. --Duplode (discuss • contribs) 23:31, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
 * obviously. If the Python Programming book team (which is basically me) decided to introduce a nested chapter structure, they would do it by renaming, not by copying and deleting. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 09:42, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Programming for Palm OS

contribs) 03:54, 13 May 2018 (UTC)}} This page has been a stub since it was created 12 years ago. PalmOS no longer exists and SuperWaba no longer supports PalmOS, so I'm inclined to conclude that this page is never going to be expanded into anything useful.
 * Nominated the entire book. 18:45, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

 * since Wikibooks keeps stubs and the book has some content, including Programming for Palm OS/C/Serial. The book is very incomplete and probably not very useful at this state, but that is how Wikibooks stubs are.

Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Deleting old GCSE Books

Most of the GCSE books seem to have been completely abandoned (with the last true edit being a decade ago). Furthermore, the specifications have changed, meaning that course materials are now radically different. - Neutrinopenguin 01/04/2018
 * It's not obvious because we're talking about more than 200 pages: Category:Subject:General_Certificate_of_Secondary_Education. So they could have an interest, at least historically. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 08:56, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Since I am planning on writing new guides for them, would it be perhaps acceptable if I mentioned they are uncompleted and unfinished as well as linked from there to the new guides then?

 * Sure. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 13:13, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Case Studies in Sport Event Management

I propose deletion for this because it was a book that never was a book. It was started in 2010 and contains and still contains only the skeleton of a book. It was never improved on, added to or made to be anything resembling a book. Delete for now and later on if someone else decides to create such a book, a space will be available for it. Necromonger Wekeepwhatwekill 21:25, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Empty for years. JackPotte (discuss • contribs) 21:31, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * The only substance there is the proposed chapter structure, which is potentially useful — indeed, such guidance can play a key role in making a book successful, or unsuccessful — but there's no empirical evidence that this is guidance of the successful, rather than unsuccessful, sort since not a single chapter has been written. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 23:22, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Since not a single chapter has been written, why don't we save the community time and just delete this per WB:NMC: "Pages with no meaningful content. Always check and revert if good content in the revision history was replaced"? If we look into the definition of what a "no meaningful content" verdict really suits, it seems to suit one of the following: "Spam and vandalism, test edits and nonsense, or abandoned pages displaying intent, but no actual content." I believe this book perfectly fits "abandoned pages displaying intent, but no actual content"... so I say we close this RfD and speedy delete this book. Agreed? --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 21:29, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I think there's enough there to warrant thought, which is what we're giving it here. WB:NMC does say, when in doubt, discuss. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 21:43, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Very well then. I will make sure to keep tabs up on this discussion in the mean time. Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 01:08, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
 * No meaningful content, and full of references to 2010. Clearly abandoned. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 04:50, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Computer Literacy/Contributing

This page is for people interested in fixing/improving/adding content in this wikibook. If you just want to read the book, go to the main page. General information about the book can be found in the foreword.

Definition
This book aims to teach (or to be used to teach) computer literacy. Computer literacy is the ability to fully utilize capabilities of computers.

Choices
The following choices define the book:
 * This book is aimed at very young children, because they are the ones first approaching computers these days. It can be also used by older children and adults for self-study, but it is expected to be mostly used by parents and teachers to guide very young children.
 * Due to the focus on young children, the style is very lightweight, mostly in the spirit of "ma, look what the computer can do!". There's nearly no theory. Text mostly consists of instructions to follow and ideas to try. Pictures are plentiful. There are no drills or tests.
 * This book focuses on desktop and only lightly covers tablets/phones. See Foreword § Why desktop computers?.
 * Linux is the main OS used. Other operating systems are covered as an extra. See Foreword § Why Linux?.
 * There is no separate "Internet literacy". Online tools are described side-by-side with desktop applications, because Internet is widely available and online applications have the same feel as desktop applications. The trend is to move applications online.
 * Advanced concepts like "digital literacy" (skills and ethics of creating and communicating online) are constrained to the end of the book, because they would bore and confuse young children.

Excluded content
The following topics are out of scope for this book:
 * Large apps (Gimp, Blender, even Libre Office) have their own guides. We will only cover basics to demonstrate possibilities.
 * Programming is taught to small children these days, but it has lots of dedicated Wikibooks. It's better to just link to them.
 * Touch typing is an essential core skill, but there are specialized websites and apps for it. This book is not a good place to teach or even to introduce touch typing.

Competing wikibooks
There are a number of wikibooks that cover (parts of) computer literacy. They are listed below along with differences from this wikibook:
 * Computers for Beginners - This is an abandoned book. The main issue is that it was written for adults rather than children. Titles (Computers for Beginners vs. Computer Literacy) nicely capture this different focus on adults or children, so both books should be probably kept with their respective focus. There are other issues besides adult-oriented style, including rather old-fashioned focus on Windows and some unrelated topics like buying hardware.
 * Teaching Computer Literacy - This is an abandoned/unfinished book. Parts of it might be later merged into this book, but many parts of it are inappropriate here. It is more of a reference information than guide. It takes the old-fashioned route of Windows and MS Paint. It contains misplaced accessibility hints. Some of this unrelated information might be merged into Computers for Beginners though.
 * Basic Computing Using Windows - An odd collection of Windows-specific topics. It should be probably merged with Computers for Beginners.
 * Non-nerd's Guide to Computers - This is a strange assortment of articles. Content should be merged into several other books.
 * FHSST Computer Literacy - This is an abandoned book. The little content that is there should be probably merged into other wikibooks.
 * Easy Guide to the Internet - This is incomplete, outdated, and abandoned. The little content that is there should be either deleted as outdated or merged into this book.
 * Linux Guide - This is a rather outdated adult-oriented introduction to Linux. It could be seen as a Linux version of Computers for Beginners.
 * Wikiversity's Computer Skills - Pretty comprehensive, but it's not a Wikibook and it looks targeted at adults.

Related wikibooks

 * How To Assemble A Desktop PC - A high-quality book covering topics that are out of scope for this book. This book should link to it.
 * Computer Hardware - A bit outdated book, but it can be improved. It is heavily focused on internals, so it's not appropriate as a replacement for hardware content in this book. But it could be linked as an extra resource.
 * Blender 3D: Noob to Pro - This can be linked as an extra in case this book covers (briefly) basics of 3D modelling.
 * Introduction to Information Literacy in the K12 Classroom - This is more advanced and more abstract than computer literacy. It might be a good complementary resource.
 * FOSS Education - Covers wider use of Linux in education, teaching IT with FOSS in particular. It provides justification for Linux use that could be linked from this book.
 * Internet Technologies - This is incomplete, outdated, and abandoned, but it could theoretically be a nice guide to the Internet/web protocol stack. It's too technical to reference here.

Templates
The following templates are used in this book:
 * - Added to the bottom of every chapter.
 * - Added at the top of every chapter.
 * - Used for internal links in the book.
 * - For maintenance TODOs.
 * - Used to explain choices made in the book and mention alternatives.
 * - Show setup instructions for parents/teachers or older students.

Conventions
The following stylistic conventions are used in this book:
 * Chapter titles have the first letter of the first word capitalized. Only book title has the first letter of every word capitalized.
 * Instructions are shown as a numbered list. Mere lists are shown as bulleted lists.

Computer Literacy/Hardware

Here we learn what words hardware and computer mean.

What is a computer?
Computers come in many shapes and sizes. The easiest way to spot a computer is to look for a screen, the bright rectangle where images and text appear. What computers (with a screen) do you have at home?

 * phone, specifically smartphone
 * tablet
 * laptop, also called notebook
 * desktop, oftern called desktop computer or just computer
 * smartwatch
 * smart TV, usually called just TV

Can you think of other examples?

All these things are computers. Some people call them devices and reserve the word computer for desktops and laptops only.

Parts of a computer
Desktop computers are special in that they are made of several separate parts or components, usually connected with cables. Look at some desktop computer (if one is around) and try to name as many parts as possible.

 * screen, often called display or monitor
 * keyboard
 * mouse
 * case with many more components inside it
 * speakers, often included as part of the monitor
 * headphones, called headset when microphone is included
 * printer

When you think of a desktop computer, you probably think of its screen first. Screen is where everything interesting happens, but it's not the main part of the computer. While the big metal case might look useless at first, it's actually the place where all the most important components are housed. If you unplug it, nothing will work.

You can spot many of these parts on laptops and other kinds of devices. Some devices have special parts not found on desktop computers. For example, laptops have a touchpad that does the same thing as mouse on desktops.

Computers without screens
We said that screens are the easiest way to spot a computer, but many computers do not have a screen. Below are some of these computers that you might have encountered at home.

 * Alexa and other smart speakers speak instead of showing things on the screen.
 * Router connects other computers together via cables, allowing all computers to send messages to each other.
 * WiFi is like router, but it connects to other computers over the air via radio waves instead of using cables.
 * Embedded computers are built into other things, including fridges, wash machines, and some toys.

Guide to Clinical Examination/Respiratory examination

Respiratory Examination
First should always be a visual inspection of the patient from the end of the table. This will include looking for shortness of breath, cough, wheeze, stridor, cyanosis, and cachexia.

Hand Examination
After that, proceed for a brief hand examination, looking at both the top and bottom of the hands. Pay attention for tar staining, bruising, thin skin, clubbing of the fingernails, tremor. Then proceed to assess for asterixis, feel for temperature, and respiratory rate. Normal = 12-20 breaths per minute.

Facial Examination
Inspect for central cyanosis. Pull down on the lower eyelid and assess for anemia. Get the patient to open their mouth, asking to put their tongue to the roof of the mouth assessing for angular stomatitis.

Chest Examination
Inspect the chest for wall deformities or scars. For scars, this will include the central chest (sternotomy & thoracotomy), clavicular (pacemaker), and mid-axillary (chest drain). Assess the tracheal position. Cricosternal distance is normally 3-4 fingers. Palpate apex beat - fifth intercostal space mid-clavicular line. Assess chest expansion which involves placing your hands around the patient's chest and getting them to breathe. Reduced chest explain refers to lung collapse or pneumonia. Percuss the lung fields. Please note cardiac dullness.

History of wireless telegraphy and broadcasting in Australia/Topical/Biographies/Edward Gustavus Campbell Barton

Edward Gustavus Campbell Barton
Edward Gustavus Campbell Barton was a prominent electrical engineer based in Brisbane, Queensland. He placed Brisbane and much of Queensland at the forefront of public use of electricity, especially in respect of street lighting. He was a founding member of the pre-WW1 Wireless Institute of Queensland and the post WW1 Queensland Wireless Institute. His wireless experiments in the late 1890s and early 1900s pre-dated the monopoly of the Commonwealth Postmaster-General's Department and the issuing of callsigns, but were conducted from Brisbane, Queensland, primarily in the context of popular lectures for the Brisbane Central Technical College. Despite his involvement with early amateur radio clubs he does not appear to have been active as a wireless operator post 1910, perhaps more to his powerful oratory and organisational skills. A summary biography has not yet been prepared however the following resources have been assembled in preparation:
 * Transcriptions and Notes - Edward Gustavus Campbell Barton - More than 70 transcriptions and notes
 * Photos, QSL cards and other graphics - Edward Gustavus Campbell Barton - Nothing uploaded as yet
