This wiki is for Phil Sisson's and other GWU EMSE students in preparting their disserations.

For new pages, please use templates provided and link back to topic pages from subject pages. Hole_!

Contributors can look for tags Hole_H, Placeholder_P, InWork, Question_Q, Check_Q, and ToDo for holes to fill or add such tags for future cleanup. (Look up "tags" are designed to be unique. Question? or Check? when searched in this wiki will also turn up "Question." or ... check ... . Not really great for identifying clean up or completion needs.]

Page guidelines:
 * Try to keep the pages short, enough information to explain a single thought or concept. In some respects, think of oral exam answers.
 * This may not be the best approach for some topics, but keep to one central idea per page. If you would need an index and bookmarks, as often found in wikipedia, think about separate pages.

Citation guidelines:

These are shared student notes. One would hope that academic corrrectness (not plagiarized, cited in the appropriate style, copyright issues from perhaps too liberal use of copyright exemption) would not apply.
 * But is nice to reference where the material originated
 * As a minimum, the class should be cited if it is the source
 * As a matter of practice,
 * Citing online references, especially when the provide a "cite as" is good.
 * Open citing for ease of authorship is permited.
 * One some pages, parenthetical citations seems best.
 * Others numbered page end-notes seem to work better
 * Use of letters [a] seems to work in the "more" sections of pages where creating another page or extracting from another page helps in topic comprehension.

Please also list your self as a contributor when you make changes or add new material. Contributor names can be linked to email, Linked In or use other contributor identification if desired.


 * Seacrh on:**
 * TBD / TBR - To Be Determined / To Be Resolved
 * TBD - A marker on whether the item is need
 * TBR - A marker on an item that had been determined to be needed, but the data needed to be resolved.
 * Hole_H for pages, etc. that have an (important) hole; may or may not be gaping hole.
 * Put gapping holes in caps - HOLE_H
 * Placeholder_P for pages, etc. that have a stub to be filled
 * ToDo may better for smaller holes to fill pr smaller placeholders for topics that already have some work done.
 * Sometimes I use ToDo when I know or almost know what to do and Hole_H when I don't.
 * InWork
 * for pages that are a little placeholder plus, don't want find when looking for purer/smaller stubs because they really are in work.
 * for a page or subject that has some done, but questions, placeholder, holes!, etc. for later filling.
 * Question_Q for pages with questions to answer
 * Check_Q for information that may be good enough or may merit a question (check)
 * DIDI - Deferred Indefinitely
 * ISSUE_I: Issue to refer someone else. I.e. a bad link in the courese syllabus.


 * Other:**


 * It might be better name pages in the singular versus plural.
 * Frequent Citations provides a short list of frequently cited sources.
