Term tests

[edit | edit source]

So far learning resources fall into three categories as a result of "dominant group" research and exploration.

  1. Term tests - attribution, copyright, and quotation usage.
  2. Portions of research project creation - proof of concept.
  3. Theory - Theory of definition.

With respect to term tests, the other possibility is to divide up the examples into

  1. attribution,
  2. copyright,
  3. quotation,
  4. public domain,
  5. fair use,
  6. context, and
  7. synonymy.

There does not appear to be enough uses of "dominant group". Consider other examples from the same subject area, including deleted supposed copyright violations, or combining areas together.

Astronomy term test

[edit | edit source]

Create another term test learning resource focused on astronomy.

  1. "The dominant group members, ordered by luminosity, are: spiral NGC 1566 , lenticular NGC 1553, and elliptical NGC 1549." occurs in Dorado Group.

Funding

[edit | edit source]

Begin looking for that point at which a letter of intent to submit a proposal should be

  1. communicated to program manager,
  2. prepared,
  3. peer reviewed, and
  4. sent.

Geology term test

[edit | edit source]

Create another term test learning resource focused on geology.

  1. "Oxisols and Orthents are the dominant groups, though a few more fertile soils have been found, such as the extensive Andisols mentioned." occurs in Paleopedological record.
  2. "The PGC is the dominant group of rocks and covers two-thirds of the area and includes granites, gneissis and migmatites." occurs in Bangalore geography and environment.

Language term test

[edit | edit source]

Create another term test learning resource focused on language.

  1. "Most often, the vocabulary comes from the dominant group and the grammar from the subordinate group, where such stratification exists." occurs in Creole language
  2. "The schwa vowel /ə/ does not alternate but may trigger harmony as if it belonged to the dominant group." occurs in Chukchi language.
  3. "Two dominant groups spoke the PEA-A R-Dialect, i.e., the Munsee-dominant Wappinger (or Wampano), and the Quinnipiac-dominant Quiripi" occurs in Quiripi language.
  4. occurs in Language attrition.

Proof of concept learning resource

[edit | edit source]

Construct a learning resource that helps potential researchers begin a project by constructing a 'proof of concept' approach, regardless of how small a beginning.

Consider requesting earlier versions of "dominant group" articles from Wikipedia to use in building this learning resource.

Religion term test

[edit | edit source]

Create another term test learning resource focused on religion.

"Dominant group" occurs in Ethnoreligious group, Christian privilege, Regular Baptist, Upper Chapel, Church Patronage (Scotland) Act 1711, Religion in New Zealand.

Research indicator

[edit | edit source]

The occurrence of "dominant group" or a relative synonym may be an indicator that the author or resource creator is engaging in research or original research.

Consider the resource Overview of economic schools of thought: "It is arguably now the dominant school of economics, being taught in most major universities." When the context use of "school" is meant as an assemblage or association, the two-word phrase "dominant school" is a relative synonym for "dominant group".

There is no indication of the completion status, development status, if any, educational level, resource type, or subject. But, the sole contributor has placed the resource in the economics category.

The current, proposed Wikiversity:Deletion policy criteria of speedy deletion can be used to comment on this resource:

  1. No educational objectives or discussion in history. - met.
  2. not met.
  3. many sentences appear to be paraphrases of Wikipedia articles on the subject, without citation. Met.
  4. not met.
  5. not met.
  6. met. User has indicated "Get rid of the cruft."[1] at Wikiversity:Colloquium which may mean a deletionist agenda. Unfortunately this may amount to vandalism of resources here.
  7. not met.
  8. not met.
  9. not met.
  10. Archaic redirects - unknown but probably unlikely.
  11. not met.
  12. not met.
  13. not met.

So resource meets possibly two to three criteria for speedy deletion.

Proposed deletion: "Resources may be eligible for proposed deletion when activity ceases for 90 days or more, further development may be difficult, education objectives and learning outcomes are scarce, and objections to deletion are unlikely."

90 days or more - last update was August 25, 2011,
further development may be difficult - probably,
education objectives and learning outcomes are scarce - none stated,
objections to deletion are unlikely - questionable.

Further point: the use of the apparent technical or theoretical term "dominant school" suggests either research or original research.

On the same colloquium page is "The resource should be structured into lessons, which exist as subpages linked to on the main resource page." under Suggested minimum requirements for stand-alone resources. Such a prerequisite is a well-known obstacle to research or original research, for which Wikiversity is the only wikimedia home.

Sociology term test

[edit | edit source]

Nearly all of the uses of "dominant group" are in sociology: anthropology, history, politics, which may require dividing term tests accordingly.

[edit | edit source]

Begin locating and collecting examples from recent articles where a term is the subject of the article.

Organize journal formats for authors.

Theory of definition learning resource

[edit | edit source]

Consider a learning resource that focuses on the 'Theory of definition' using "dominant group" for examples.

Specifically include Kaldari examples to demonstrate how going from one word, to two word, to linked two words greatly reduces Google scholar article yield.
