Radiation Oncology/Tomotherapy

 * Patients scanned across a modulated strip-beam
 * Only one “slice” (Greek prefix “tomo-”) of the target exposed at any one time by the linear accelerator (linac) beam
 * The three components distinctive to this modality:
 * A collimator pair that defines the length of the strip
 * A binary multileaf collimator whose leaves open and close during treatment to modulate the strip’s intensity
 * A couch that scans the patient across the beam at a fixed speed the during treatment delivery

Noli Me Tangere/Chapter X

Chapter X " Elias and Salome"

Summary: Salome waits desperately for Elias, thinking that he would pass by the water any time soon. Elias, however, is nowhere to be seen because he is in fact hiding from the authorities who are currently patrolling the lake. When the two finally get to meet, Salome tells the youth of her plan to move to Mindoro and live with her relatives, and requests that he go with her. Elias, however, refuses her offer because he does not want her to be entangled with the tragedies and troubles of his past. He tells the lady that she must marry an honorable and respectable man, one whom she truly deserves and who can make her happy.

The chapter 'Elias and Salome' was originally the chapter 25 of Noli Me Tangere but when they found the original manuscript, it has a large 'X' mark on it so that they called it Chapter X. Rizal removed it during the actual printing of the book due to financial constraints.

GNU Health/Developer's corner

=Welcome to the GNU Health Developer's corner=

This chapter focus on the development of the upcoming version in different components of GNU Health

The developer's corner is highly volatile. It's chaotic and unstable, and we love it like that ;)

Please respect the target build of each component.

Uwsgi config
The following templates are samples used for GH HMIS (on Tryton) and for Thalamus

HMIS server sample ini file (gh.ini)

You can invoke it by

$ uwsgi -c /home/gnuhealth/gh.ini --enable-threads

Thalamus sample ini file

Hospital Management Information System
Target build : 4.0

 openSUSE Leap <=15.3 and other OS using Python 3.6  It's highly recommended to use Python versions >=3.7

If your distribution uses Python 3.6, then you must enforce the following dependencies versions:
 * apiron==5.1.0
 * beren==0.7.0

Wishlist

 * New GNU Health WebGUI which supports all GNU Health features and works as well on Tablet and Smartphone. It should have a new UX Design and clearly not replicate the GTK design
 * Redesign GTK Client - Etienne mentioned some improvements
 * Interface to AI providers like Planet-AI
 * Integration of the Tryton pos module with the pharmacy module
 * Integration with DHIS2

Upgrade
BEFORE THE UPGRADE:

 * 1) Execute the script "before.sql"
 * 2) update tryton server (./trytond-admin --all)

AFTER THE UPGRADE:

 * 1) Execute the script "after.sql"
 * 2) The Calendar and Webdav menus might shown twice. Just deactivate the obsolete first instance (Administration -> User Interface -> Menu)

GTK Client
The GNU Health GTK client beta is at testpypi

You can download it using the following command:

python3 -m pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/ gnuhealth-client==4.0b1

Plugins
The search path for plugins goes like this:

1. /plugins

Example: /home/lfm/.config/gnuhealth/3.5/plugins

2. /tryton/plugins

Example: /home/lfm/health/gnuhealth-client/tryton/plugins

3. $HOME/gnuhealth_plugins

Example: /home/lfm/gnuhealth_plugins

The third one ($HOME/gnuhealth_plugins) is the recommended place for most users. It makes easy automation and allows convenient drag and drop for plugins.

The first option is recommended for users that have different GH GTK client versions installed.

Web Client
The webclient is based on the Tryton SAO Webclient. It does not have the current functionality, desktop integration and security features as the GTK client. For developers only...

INSTALLING SAO (as gnuhealth user)

 * download https://downloads.tryton.org/6.0/tryton-sao-last.tgz
 * cd $HOME
 * mkdir sao
 * cd sao/package
 * npm install
 * cd /home/gnuhealth/sao/package/node_modules/.bin
 * ./grunt

On the [web] section :

root = /home/gnuhealth/sao/package

Installation of MyGNUHealth PinePhone and Manjaro Plasma Mobile
Install requirements
 * Update de system (pacman -Syu)
 * Install gcc (pacman -S gcc)
 * Install base devel tools (pacman -S base-devel)
 * Install pyside2 package (pacman -S pyside2-es2) (Make sure you use this package! The regular "pyside2" won't work. Thanks Anupam!)

Installation on PinePhone and KDE Neon

 * Install in a SD card the plasma-mobile latest image (https://images.plasma-mobile.org/pinephone/)

Install required packages
 * apt-get install python3-pip
 * apt-get install qt5-qmake
 * apt-get install cmake
 * apt-get install qtbase5-dev
 * apt-get install clang clang libclang-6.0-dev
 * apt-get install qtbase5-private-dev
 * apt-get install qtdeclarative5-dev qtdeclarative5-private-dev

Create a swapfile (it will be needed during the building process) (you can later add it to the fstab if you want to have it permanent) add to /etc/fstab /opt/swapfile           swap    swap    defaults        0       0
 * 1) sudo bash
 * 2) cd /opt
 * 3) dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1G count=1
 * 4) mkswap swapfile
 * 5) swapon swapfile

Download,extract and build PySide2 https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/gettingstarted-linux.html#getting-pyside2

Fix the following symlinks that are broken:

$ cd pyside2/pyside-setup/pyside3_install/py3.6-qt5.14.2-64bit-release/bin$

$ ln -si /usr/bin/qtchooser ./designer $ ln -si /usr/bin/qtchooser ./rcc $ ln -si /usr/bin/qtchooser ./uic

Installation on the Desktop
Nightly Builds to install MyGNHealth on a GNU/Linux Desktop are available at OpenBuildService

Orthanc integration
Notes obtained from C:

PACS / DICOM goals

For providers:
 * Consistent access to imaging studies in multiple views / tabs
 * Including accurate imaging information including type of imaging (CT, MRI, ultrasound, etc), date/time, location, and final report (essential if available)
 * Quickly copy/paste images and reports (eg, into notes)
 * Easy imaging viewing through a robust PACS viewer
 * Upload new (or newly obtained) imaging studies to local PACS server from outside sources
 * Patients frequently bring imaging discs with previous studies which should be stored for better continuity of care and medical decision-making. Furthermore, outside images should be able to be stored for quicker access and local evaluation.
 * Send imaging studies to other locations and / or patients
 * CD / DVD saving / “burning” (likely location specific)
 * Send to outside medical office / provider via network (or CD/DVD)
 * This assists in transfers of care and patient access to medical records.
 * Notify provider on new imaging results (configurable as appropriate)

For developers (see implementing the above goals with some notable details below)
 * Synchronization of relevant data in fault-tolerant and error-free way
 * Reliability and accuracy are much more important than speed
 * Support Orthanc and other servers (as possible)
 * Providers should interface with data in intuitive manner with appropriate data viewers
 * Zero config for the providers
 * Imaging studies → PACS viewer
 * Final reports / etc→ PACS viewer or PDF / text viewer (if not built-in to PACS viewer)
 * Bidirectional interactions with PACS server
 * PACS authentication should be seamless for the multiple types of users (providers, admin, etc)
 * Connecting remote studies to local patients
 * Uploading imaging studies (as above) should be attached to local patient
 * Expose multiple PACS endpoints / tasks to administrators
 * Other:
 * Appropriate access restrictions for data and tasks
 * Continuous access to data for providers (no downtime for updates or similar)
 * Minimize bandwidth used (via avoiding unnecessary transfers) given resource restricted environments
 * Network interactions should be encrypted via TLS or other similarly appropriate mechanism

Ideas from G, rather details than general concept:
 * Target error codes, until here only 401, "Invalid Domain" or "Success"
 * When creating a patient in HMIS from patient in Orthanc: Adopt/suggest name, dob & ID automatically
 * Support DICOM preview inside client (Orthanc: Only link to open in browser yet, health_imaging: DICOM not supported)
 * Add series & instances as ressources? Orthanc module supports only patients & studies, but Orthanc itself has patients, studies, series & instances as ressources

Open task/bug: Bug #59872
 * “When requesting a DX image, have the possibility to send this to Orthanc “
 * “When creating the DX imaging result, have the possibility to link the images/studies to data coming from orthanc”

Issues
The following are issues that need to be fixed:
 * FIXED: DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB failed: Cannot allocate memory at startup . Using CMA=340m as a kernel boot param gives enough CMA memory. Colleagues at the KDE plasma channel said they would include it in next image.

History of wireless telegraphy and broadcasting in Australia/Topical/Biographies/Herbert Edward Baker

Herbert Edward Baker was briefly a prominent amateur operator and amateur broadcaster in the mid 1920s. His station callsign was 4HB (4=Queensland, H=Herbert, B=Baker) and he operated from Gowrie station near Charleville, Queensland. He and his brothers and brothers-in-law comprised Baker Bros. which firm held extensive rural holdings in western Queensland. Pressures of business, aeronautical interests and a love of world travel soon pushed amateur radio to the background, but he remains as one of Queensland's early amateur experimenters. A summary biography has not yet been prepared however the following resources have been assembled in preparation:
 * Transcriptions and Notes - Herbert Edward Baker - More than 10 transcriptions and notes
 * Photos, QSL cards and other graphics - Herbert Edward Baker - Nothing uploaded as yet

Birth notice for 4HB "Births. . . . BAKER.— On the 23rd inst., at St. Kilda, the wife of Edward B. Baker of a son."

1903 08
Report of wedding of 4HB's sister Cecil Clara Baker "WEDDINGS. Smith — Baker. An event which created more than usual local interest took place in Roma, at St. Paul's Church, on 16th July, when Mr. T. W. Smith, son of Mr. Robert Wilkin Smith, of Mackay, was married to Miss Cecil Baker, second daughter of Mr. Edward B. Baker, of Bindebango, near Mitchell. As the bride entered the church (which had been beautifully decorated by her many girl friends) she made a charming picture in her wedding gown of white duchesse satin, the bodice composed of mousseline de sole, richly trimmed with Limerick lace and fine cord tucks, with stole ends caught up with orange blossoms, the skirt being most beautifully flounced to the knees with mousseline de sole. Her beautifully worked veil was of silk Marguerites, worn with sprays of orange blossoms. She wore a handsome muff chain and watch, and carried a shower bouquet of choice flowers and ferns, the gifts of the bridegroom, and also wore a gold brooch with turquoise and pearls, the gift of Mr. and Mrs. King (Roma Downs). The attendant bridesmaids were Miss Baker (sister of the bride) and Miss Smith (sister of the bridegroom), the former dressed in pink Japanese silk minutely tucked and trimmed with Paris lace, the latter in pale-blue silk richly trimmed with lace and insertion. These costumes were worn with smart black picture hats. Each bridesmaid wore a gold muff chain, and carried a shower bouquet the gifts of the bridegroom. The bride's gift to the bridegroom was a set of silver-backed brushes. The bridegroom was attended by Mr. R. S. Moore (Amby Downs) as best man, and Mr. H. E. Baker (Bendena) as groomsman, and the ceremony was conducted by the Rev. L. Browne. Mr. and Mrs. Baker held a reception at the Hibernian Hall, where they entertained a large number of friends. The hostess was richly gowned in a black costume relieved with cream toque en suite. She was assisted by her daughter, Mrs. F. L. Rylie (Dubbo, New South Wales), who wore a handsome gray figured voile, with a smart black toque. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Moore (Amby Downs), Mr. and Mrs. Deshon (Mitchell Downs), Mr. and Mrs. King (Roma Downs), Mr. and Mrs. Linton (Mount Abundance), Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Spencer, Mr. and Mrs. Dyball, Mr. and Mrs. McPherson, Mr. and Mrs. Craven, Mr. and Mrs. Desgraund, Mrs. Beveridge, Mrs. Knox, Mr. and. Mrs. McNaughton, Misses Cory (Toowoomba), Iberth (Brisbane), Gibson, Cameron (2), Dickson, Linton, Craven, L. Baker, and Messrs. Palmer, Dunsmere, McDonald, Arundell, McLean, Moore, Hill, Meeks, Miller, McMahon, Baker (2), Smith, Sutherland, Bird, Taylor, and many others. The presents were numerous and handsome, including a number of cheques. The newly-wedded couple left by the mail train for Brisbane en route to the North, the bride travelling in a gray costume, worn with a bolero opening over a full blouse of pink silk; handsome black hat. They will return shortly to the West, Mr. Smith being manager of Audboringa station, near Charleville."

4HB seeks assistance of Maranoa Rabbit Board in provision of poisons "Maranoa Rabbit Board. Minutes of meeting held at the office of the Board, St. George, on Wednesday, 10th February, 1904. . . . From W. F. Aitchison, Merriott, and H. E. Baker, Bendena, asking for more poison plants.— The matter of putting on more poison plants was carefully considered by the Board, and the clerk was instructed to write to Messrs. Aitchison and Baker, informing them that the funds of the Board would not permit of further expenditure at present, but the Board would shortly send carts to their aid. Mr. Gillespie said that while on the subject of poisoning and rabbit destruction, he would like to bring under the notice of the Board that there were lessees in this Board's district who had obtained netting from the Government on the Board's recommendation, under the 46th section of the Rabbit Boards Act of 1896. He thought that when holders of land obtained netting, they should be compelled to erect it. The cases he referred to, the lessees had signed the charge sheet, but had not erected the netting, thereby becoming exempt from assessment, and by not enclosing their holdings the Board had no power to compel them to destroy, vide section 41 Rabbit Boards Act of 1896. The clerk was instructed to write to the Lands Department and bring under the notice of the Under Secretary that there were several cases in this Board's district where lessees had become exempt from assessment through making application for netting, and executing a charge over their interest, but had not erected the netting."

1906 12
4HB passing through Brisbane en route to Alice Downs "Arrivals for the week at Menzies: Mr. J. Goldstein, Mr. Louis Hobler, and Mr. Ryan (Rockhamp-ton), Mrs. S. Walker and the Misses Walker (Townsville), Mr. H. E. Baker, en route for Alice Downs; Mr. Warren, C.T.A., Dr. and Mrs. Dobman and children. Departures: Mr. Ryan, Mr. L. Hobler, Mr. and Mrs. Chambers for Newcastle, Mrs. Bonar and Mr. J. Bonar for Sydney."

User:LBird BASc/sandbox/ATK/Seminar6/Truth/Study Hoaxes in the Humanities

The Sokal Affair
Alan Sokal sent an article called "Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity " to The Social Text, where he argued that gravity was a social construct. His aim was to see if a cultural journal would publish an article with false content if it "sounded good" and resonated with the ideologies of the editors. The article was published in 1996, after which Sokal revealed that it was a hoax. The article had not been peer reviewed prior to publication, and both the maths and arguments used were clearly faulty.

The co-editors of The Social Text later published a response explaining why they published the article. They wanted to encourage a physical scientist engaging with philosophy, and considered the article in good faith. As a social journal, they did not have access to the peer-reviewers an established science journal would have. Sokal also did not make any of the amendments the editors asked him to make.

Summary of the studies
The Grievance Studies affair was a series of academic papers, that three academics wrote in an attempt to discredit the results and findings of several academic disciplines they described as grievance studies. The chosen areas were in cultural, queer, race, gender, fat, and sexuality studies and the series of hoax papers aimed to highlight a bias in the conclusions of the 'post-structuralist' way of thinking in these areas. The authors were Helen Pluckrose (a writer and researcher for a magazine), James Lindsay (a mathematician) and Peter Boghossian (a philosopher at Portland State University. The attempt took place between 2017 and 2018 and in reference to the earlier, but similar hoax by Alan Sokal is often referred to as Sokal Squared.

The series of papers took place after a previous hoax attempt by Lindsay and Boghossian about the penis being a social concept, but it was not well received due it being published in a 'pay-to-publish' journal (Cogent Social Studies). Because this was a low tier journal the results were dismissed and for the later attempts they only applied to much more reputable peer reviewed journals, in order to gain more reputable results.

Method of the Hoax
The papers were written to be "outlandish or intentionally broken in significant ways", but come to a conclusion in line with with a political ideology in theses fields. They were hoping that if they were published they could highlight a bias if the results were favourable to their political dispositions. They wrote on their report of the hoax that "each paper began with something absurd or deeply unethical (or both) that we wanted to forward or conclude. We then made the existing peer-reviewed literature do our bidding in the attempt to get published in the academic canon."

They would submit the papers to a journal and if it was rejected, would make the amendments recommended and submit it to another.

Initially there was not much success for their papers, they believed because they seemed out of place amongst papers actually written by experts in the fields, largely due to the language used. Their successes though went up greatly when they took on board advice from journals and imitated existing articles more closely and eventually got 7 articles out of the 20 accepted for publication, with 7 others still in consideration at the time the study was exposed as a hoax.

Results

 * They spent "10 months writing the papers, averaging one new paper roughly every thirteen days. (Seven papers published over seven years is frequently claimed to be the number sufficient to earn tenure at most major universities)".
 * One of the papers (a paper on how dogs humping in parks could be applied to rape culture, which insinuated that men should be trained like dogs) was honoured as one of twelve leading pieces in feminist geography as a part of the 'Gender,Place and Culture' journal's 25th anniversary celebration.
 * They were also invited to peer-review other papers no less than 4 times
 * They also published the comments made by journals, making the claim that some of the comments support their claim as well as the results.

Support to the Studies
There was a lot of support coming from academics in other fields although not all as I will show later:

 * The renowned Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker tweeted "s there any idea so outlandish that it won’t be published in a Critical/PoMo/Identity/‘Theory’ journal?"
 * Yascha Mounk (A professor of political theory John Hopkins and lecturer at Havard) was one of the fiercest defenders of the hoax, writing the article 'The Circling of the Academic Wagons' . He praises the authors' excellent and imitative use of postmodern jargon and accuses critics of the hoax as being ad hominem and missing the issues it has raised.
 * Richard Dawkins in response to criticism of the research technique and lack of control or comparison to other fields said "How would you react if you saw the following letter: "Dear Mr Orwell, It has come to our notice that your novel, Animal Farm, attributes to pigs the ability to talk, and to walk on their hind legs, chanting 'Four legs good, two legs better'. This is directly counter to known zoological facts about the Family Suidae, and you are therefore arraigned on a charge of falsifying data..." as an allegory for the criticism being irrelevant to the point the hoax was trying to make.
 * As well as other academics there was also a large mainstream media social media reaction, both supporting it and criticising it. There quite prevalent derision of the subjects online.

Criticism of the Studies

 * In an article for 'Slate' David Engber said that if you tried a similar hoax in many other academic field with peer-reviewed journals you could do the same thing.
 * David Schieber said he was a reviewer on "Rubbing One Out", and argued that the hoaxers selectively quoted from his review. "They were turning my attempt to help the authors of a rejected paper into an indictment of my field and the journal I reviewed for, even though we rejected the paper."
 * Many also criticised the way that by focussing on a small number of fields, they may be missing greater issues with the peer-review system.
 * There was suggestion of hypocrisy, due to the authors doing the hoax and choosing the publications for political reasons, while accusing the fields of their own political bias.

Fostering Academic Integrity
If the first studies regarding academic integrity in research were initiated in the 1980s and early 1990s, very little empirical information were available to support the assumptions made on the subject. While some surveys suggested academic dishonesty might be more widespread than expected, researchers maintained that peer review preserves research from such deviations.

Based on Steneck, N.H. SCI ENG ETHICS (2006) 12: 53. https://doi.org/10.1007/PL00022268

Discussion on Truth
- Constructivism is a relevant form of truth in some areas, and criticising it in the wrong context will not provide relevant results. Also, it seems to favour other types of truth, such as positivist, empirical and objective truth, when different types of truth are necessary in different fields and when dealing with different issues.

- While it might be relevant to apply different truths in different disciplines in some cases, constructivist truth is not applicable to physical concepts like gravity. However, constructivist truth is used in other areas of science. For instance, when researching mental illnesses constructivism is useful.

International interdisciplinary observatory for gene editing
“Genome editing (also called gene editing) is a group of technologies that give scientists the ability to change an organism's DNA. These technologies allow genetic material to be added, removed, or altered at particular locations in the genome.”

During this International Interdisciplinary Observatory on Gene Editing, it is important to bring together scientific disciplines and ethical ones. In fact, scientists working in genetic engineering will explain the scientific advances in gene editing and it is essential. We will also need to talk about technologies as the "use of the technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 [...] has opened up new frontiers in genetic medicine". At the same time, disciplines like philosophy, bioethics and law are necessary because they raise awareness on the consequences of gene editing on the society and question the power of science.

However, bringing together science and humanities could seem difficult because they approach truth and knowledge differently. “Discussion split into two camps: scientific experts explor[e] technical issues, whereas scholars who study science and society [address] questions about the possible disruption to social norms.” On one hand, science relies on facts. Thus, truth is mainly seen as empirical and positive: scientists make measurements, observe them and draw conclusions. On the other hand, the humanities fields, such as bioethics and law, truth is discussed as normative: this means that values are a key point and that they focus on how a phenomenon will affect people and its consequences over the society.

Thus, how could science and humanities work together in a dynamic way? First, there should have a discussion in which they (researchers in science and in humanities) express their ideas and researches, in an understandable language for the others -explanation of technical vocabulary for example. Scientists could argue that gene editing helps to understand genetic diseases and could treat them. It can also improve the yield of crops and have an impact on livestock. The researchers working in bioethics could express their apprehension regarding gene editing and its consequences on society and future. Indeed, if scientists were allowed to alter reproductive cells, it could lead to eugenics because parents could choose their children and embryo judged as abnormal in the society could be eliminated.

Then, they need to understand that they are complementary. “It makes little sense to treat the questions raised by genome editing as if they belonged to a single field […]. [It] should be addressed as part of different technology convergences […] which also includes political technologies (regulation, legislation, etc.)”.

In order to work together, they need to agree on the issue(s) that gene editing raises and need to have a “conversation about the limits and directions of research”. In conclusion, despite the difference of truths, dialogue and cooperation can help to work together and find a solution.

History of China/Qing Dynasty

The Qing dynasty (清朝), lasting from 1644 AD to 1911 AD, was the last legitimate imperial dynasty in Chinese history. It was the second dynasty ruled by traditionally non-Chinese people. The Manchus invaded and conquered China in 1644 AD, yet pacification and forced assimilation of the whole realm took decades longer and many lives. China prospered during the reigns of three consecutive emperors, Kangxi (康熙), Yongzheng (雍正) and Qianlong (乾隆), creating a rich and strong state, thus enabling it to annex surrounding neighbours, including Tibet and Xinjiang in the west. Many borders in China today, both internal and external, can be traced back to the Qing borders.

After around 100 years of prosperity, the country went on a down slope, coinciding with the arrival of large numbers of Europeans trying to set up trading posts and spheres of influence. Initially reluctant to trade with foreigners, the Qing only opened the port of Canton, current day Guangzhou, for trading under tight regulations. However, after being defeated by Britain in 1842 during the First Opium War, China was forced open and was compelled to set up trading ports, pay reparations, grant certain freedoms to Europeans in China and give up the island of Hong Kong. Other Western countries followed suit, and after a humiliating defeat by modernized Japan in 1894, a massive anti-West uprising erupted in 1900, the Boxer Rebellion, which was endorsed by the Empress dowager at the time, Cixi (慈禧). They raided the Western embassies and so a coalition was formed by Britain, France, Germany, the US, Japan, Russia, Italy and Austria-Hungary to put down the rebellion. They stormed Beijing and forced the Emperor to flee. After looting treasures, a treaty detailing even more colonies and legations in China was signed, with parts of important cities like Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai allocated to Westerners.

Revolutionaries like Sun Yat Sen and Song Jiao Ren have been planning to overthrow the Qing government for years before the end of the dynasty. Multiple uprisings were organised by their party, the Chinese United League (同盟會), yet all of them failed except for Wuchang Uprising in 1911, when the army joined the cause and various provinces declared independence from the central Qing government. The child emperor Puyi (溥儀) abdicated and handed power over to Sun Yat Sen as provisional president, thus ending the imperial period lasting 2000 years in China.

History of China/Ming Dynasty

The Ming dynasty (明朝), lasting from 1368 AD to 1644 AD, was the second-last imperial dynasty in China and the last to be ruled by ethnic Chinese. The Ming established the custom in English of referring to an emperor by his year name since they only had 1 during their entire reign, rather than their posthumous or temple names. This custom was adopted in Chinese during the later Qing dynasty. After overthrowing the Mongols and driving them back to the north, the Ming established order back in China and restored the ancient Great Wall to defend against northern invaders. Also noteworthy were the 7 naval expeditions by the Muslim eunuch admiral Zheng He (鄭和). Sent by Emperor Yong'le (永樂皇帝), these expeditions comprised of huge fleets of ships with massive crews unparalleled in Europe at the time, whose mission was to trade with locals, increase prestige of China, and bring back representatives from states willing to be tributaries. These voyages followed known trade routes, yet they reached India, Arabia and East Africa. The later half of Ming was plagued by power struggles between eunuch factions in the court, and was conquered by the Manchus in 1644 AD.

History of China/Song Dynasty

The Song dynasty (宋朝), divided into Northern Song (960 - 1127 AD) and Southern Song (1127 - 1279 AD), was known for being militarily weak on purpose. After its first emperor was raised to the throne by his own army, he became wary of the threat generals pose to him. Thus a national policy of focusing on culture and studies rather than military strength was put into place, swapping generals around every few years to minimize loyalty to generals personally. Generals were also allocated troops only during times of war. A flourishing literary stage appeared as a result, creating many of the greatest Chinese writers and poets. Another focus was on concentrating power in the central authority and weakening regional governments, due to the fact that the previous Tang and period of fracture featured many coups and usurpation of power. Thus various checks and balances were placed on multiple levels of government to prevent one individual gaining too much power.

Because its military was weak, states set up by originally northern nomadic peoples like the Liao dynasty, Jīn dynasty and the Mongol empire was able to take over lands traditionally Chinese. The Jīn dynasty even raided and looted the capital Bianjing (汴京), captured the incumbent emperor and the previous one back to their homeland, and caused the Song court to flee south and establish a new capital, creating the Southern Song dynasty. The national hero Yue Fei (岳飛) was also born during this period. He was famous for leading his militia to fight against Jīn forces, almost recovering the old capital in the process. In the end the Song dynasty was conquered by the Mongols in 1279 AD.

Talk:History of China

What should be the focus of this page? Actions and profiles of emperors, generals, aristocrats and individuals? Or a detailed timeline of significant events in each section? Or an overview of what happened and what makes this certain dynasty special or different from others?

I have more-or-less gone with the third option when writing my sections, as I was thinking of the kind of "A Brief History of..." books that summarize a country's history to someone new to that subject. But what do you think?

New tools and IP masking
Hey everyone,

The Wikimedia Foundation wants to work on two things that affect how we patrol changes and handle vandalism and harassment. We want to make the tools that are used to handle bad edits better. We also want to get better privacy for unregistered users so their IP addresses are no longer shown to everyone in the world. We would not hide IP addresses until we have better tools for patrolling.

We have an idea of what tools could be working better and how a more limited access to IP addresses would change things, but we need to hear from more wikis. You can read more about the project on Meta and post comments and feedback. Now is when we need to hear from you to be able to give you better tools to handle vandalism, spam and harassment.

You can post in your language if you can't write in English. Johan (WMF)  14:18, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Modern Greek
I'm struggling to wrap my head around a series of edits made to book Modern Greek on March 31 by user Vitagamma. At first, I really didn't want to get involved at all; I know pretty nearly nothing at all about modern Greek, so would be easily able to review things only if they're either obvious vandalism, or simple improvements obviously legit. However, in this case the edit to the book main page looked peculiar, and I felt a need to look further to put it in context. The more I looked into these edits, the more it appeared that basic content was being replaced with something following an entirely different outline, without any discussion on talk pages nor acknowledgement on the main page. I rejected the changes to the main page, and I believe I was right to do so because those were, at best, malformed. I rejected changes to another page, and I think I'm on solid ground there because the edits in question added particles (like English "the") in front of a bunch of vocabulary, whereas the translations have no particles; there are other sets of vocabulary that use such particles and the translations then include an English particle. Changes to other pages are more invasive. If I were preparing to revert more extensive changes I'd study them intensively — but before going that far, I'd really be very interested in other opinions on this. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 02:15, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Many qualified people reading in the Wikipedia article won't be aware of the evolution of the book. A request in the talk page might obtain some help. Regards, ... PeterEasthope (discuss • contribs) 03:57, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

Marine Engines
Hi, I'm thinking to begin a book about marine engines. Possible titles: "Marine Engines" or "Small Marine Engines". I tend to favour the first. More general is better than more specific. For reference, the most pertinent article I find in Wikipedia is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_propulsion. Any comments or suggestions about this. Thanks, ...

Renaming "GCSE Computer Science"
I have updated the content of GCSE Computer Science to the newer syllabuses and so would like rename the book as GCSE Computer Science(9-1) to indicate the current nature of the book. The assistance of an admin would be much appreciated. Johnkn63 (discuss • contribs) 08:30, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Would that be GCSE Computer Science(9-1) or GCSE Computer Science (9-1)? The difference being a space before the left-parenthesis.  I would have thought the latter, with the space.  Wouldn't want to rename the whole book and then discover the name wasn't quite right and have to do it all again! --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 12:22, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Good point, with a space GCSE Computer Science (9-1) would be best. Thank you!Johnkn63 (discuss • contribs) 04:26, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
 * "9 - 1" is just a grading scale. I would keep the name as it is and make a note on the front page that it refers to the current version of the book. Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 14:50, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
 * This was my initial thought. However have subsequently become aware the differences are more than just the grading scale, and more importantly that for many of the target audience, students of the exam, such a difference in title is significant. Johnkn63 (discuss • contribs) 04:55, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, but what would be the issue with noting the change in the title page? After all, if this is V2, and five years later, another change is effected, then you'll have to change the names all over again... (or alternatively keep the link the same but change the display name?) Leaderboard (discuss • contribs) 03:02, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

I noticed BookCat was missing from a bunch of the pages, probably because it had been omitted from the page-template; so I added it to all the existing pages and to the template. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 12:55, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Nice Pi zero, thanks a lot for your help !

It would be useful if a suggestion citation format was provided for this resource. For example, would this be suitable?

'''Introduction to Inorganic Chemistry. (n.d.). Retrieved October 21, 2009 from https://chem.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Inorganic_Chemistry/Book%3A_Introduction_to_Inorganic_Chemistry'''

That might not be appropriate since Libretexts "libreated" this resource from Wikibooks. The Wikibook content is periodically updated and corrected, whereas the Libretexts version is not.
