The Wild Australia Show was a troupe of Indigenous Australian performers that toured Australia during 1892 and 1893. The performers were recruited by Archibald Meston and his business partner with the aim of embarking on a world tour concluding at Chicago's World's Columbian Exposition. The performers' motivations for joining the tour are unknown; scholars have suggested that some may have been kidnapped or coerced, while others may have sought an escape from the violent Queensland frontier. Inspired by the ethnological expositions and Wild West shows popular during the era, the troupe's performances included dances, corroborees, and scenes inspired by the Australian frontier wars. The troupe ultimately performed in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, but ran out of funds and was abandoned by Meston before leaving the country. The performers were photographed during their tour by several of the country's leading photographers, with many of these photographs eventually becoming widely reproduced. (Full article...)

Well, first of all it is the first time i use this feature, so if i have created a new subject uselessly i do apologize.

data is anything not porcessed, i mean, speaking in the enterprise software world data would be the brut the prime matter EX. a table with the data of calls made relating them with the phone number that made it and the time it lasted.

Information is the data procesed, EX. a report indicating all the calls made from an area that lasts more than x minutes. directly out of the data base but with at least one critery.

theres is something else, Knoledge, and Knoledge is a grou of information heavyly procesed for a specific objective.

therefore, you should encript data but there is no point in encrypting inforamtion, however you do have other security measures for information.

that the reason i dont agree in merging the contents. please feel free to contact me [email protected] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.87.1.171 (talk) 21:04, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington. In April, we met with some local Wikipedians to learn what they would like to know about other editors’ history and activities (within Wikipedia) when interacting with them on talk pages. The goal of those sessions was to gather feedback to help design an embedded application that could quickly communicate useful information about other Wikipedians. We have now created a few images that we feel represent some of what our participants thought was important. We would appreciate it if you took a few minutes of your time to complete an online survey that investigates whether or not these images would be useful to you. Your quick contribution would be very valuable to our research group and ultimately to Wikipedia. (When finished, the code for this application will be given over to the Wikipedia community to use and/or adjust as they see fit.)

Willing to spend a few minutes taking our survey? Click this link.

Please feel free to share the link with other Wikipedians. The more feedback, the better! The survey is completely anonymous and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. All data is used for university research purposes only.

Thank you for your time! If you have any questions about our research or research group, please visit our user page. Commprac01 (talk) 01:06, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

There is a discussion here about whether the words “highly autonomous” should be removed from the opening sentence of the article.

The current opening sentence reads:

“

Hong Kong, officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, is a highly autonomous territory of the People's Republic of China, facing Guangdong to the north and the South China Sea to the east, west and south. Hong Kong is a global metropolitan and international financial centre, and has a highly developed capitalist economy.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
