Best man of the day : Bob Ney's wig maker. (as of 25 May).

Fact of the day - User contributions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia sez that : "23:17, 18 May 2006 (hist) (diff) Wikipedia:Reference desk/Mathematics (→Theorem Problem - ianage)" is my thousandth contrib. Champagne! And also, I am not a geometry expert.

Subject of the last month - I launched a "WP million survey" with great success - see subpage.

Subject of the laaast month - I wrote to a dozen people about it ... "Are you aware of this Wikipedia talk:Censorship ?"

Ha ! Harvestman here helps hosting hundreds o’highly, horrific, hastily hewn histories. And aims at an awkward appreciated approach at avery awful affair, acknowledging an absurd ardor (ask : Ada_or_Ardor). I’m french with interests in computer science, language, beauty and – coherence.

Wish us all success in designing a knowledge world that the world deserves.

[edit] what I discovered with WP

• Great_Vowel_Shift

"The Great Vowel Shift was a major change in the pronunciation of the English language, generally accomplished in the 15th century, although evidence suggests it began as early as the 14th century." And : Grimm's law. Too much!

• Great Awakening

"Great Awakenings are commonly said to be periods of religious revival in Anglo-American religious history. They have also been described as periodic revolutions in American religious thought. The Great Awakenings appear to form a cycle, with a period of roughly 80 years."

• List of Great articles ...

Great Britain * Great Lakes * Great Depression * Great Bittern * Great Bowerbird * Great Cormorant * Great Dane * Great Egret * Great Shearwater * Great Snipe * Great Tit bird * The Great Escape * The Great Gatsby * The Great One * Great Purge * Great circle * Great Migration * Old Great Bulgaria

• Form constant

"Klüver noticed that mescaline produced recurring geometric patterns in different users. He called these patterns 'form constants' and categorized four types: lattices (including honeycombs, checkerboards, and triangles), cobwebs, tunnels, and spirals."

• Dark energy

"In cosmology, dark energy is a hypothetical form of energy which permeates all of space and has strong negative pressure. According to the theory of relativity, the effect of such a negative pressure is qualitatively similar to a force acting in opposition to gravity at large scales."

Families of flowering plants

The most diverse families of flowering plants, in order of number of species, are:

1. Asteraceae or Compositae (Daisy family): 26,000 species
2. Orchidaceae (Orchid family): 20,000 (possibly 30,000)
3. Fabaceae or Leguminosae (Pea family): 17,000
4. Poaceae or Gramineae (Grass family): 9,000
5. Rubiaceae (Madder family): 7,000
6. Euphorbiaceae (Spurge family): 5,000
7. Malvaceae (Mallow family): 4,300
8. Cyperaceae (Sedge family): 4,000

In the list above (showing only the 8 largest families), the Orchidaceae, Poaceae, and Cyperaceae are monocot families; the others are dicot families. The total number of families in the flowering plants is over 460. There are around 95,000 species also.

Start here

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and contains articles which explain over a million different things about the world, the people and things on it, and beyond. There are 2 ways to look things up in Wikipedia: by searching or by browsing...

Wikipedia also has an alphabetical index of all of its articles, and a categorical index of most of them.

[edit] My places

Add California and Louisiana, whose state seals images are fair use when the rule here is (no fair use outside article namespace).

A five years old child might fetch unfair use seals anywhere on the net. Go fetch me that child.
