ErrorAn error has different meanings in different domains. Current meanings in some of those domains are described below. The Latin word ''error'' meant "wandering" or "straying". [[Image:Train wreck at Montparnasse 1865.jpg|thumb|300px|Train wreck at Montparnasse, France, 1865 ]] ==Statistics== An error is a difference between a computed, estimated, or measured value and the true, specified, or theoretically correct value. See also errors and residuals in statistics. ==Experimental science== An error is a bound on the precision and accuracy of the result of a measurement. These can be classified into two types: statistical error (see above) and systematic error. Statistical error is caused by random (and therefore inherently unpredictable) fluctuations in the measurement apparatus, whereas systematic error is caused by an unknown but nonrandom fluctuation. If the cause of the systematic error can be identified, then it can usually be eliminated. ==Engineering== An error is a difference between desired and actual performance. Engineers often seek to design systems in such a way as to mitigate or preferably avoid the effects of error. One type of error is human error. Human factors engineering is often applied to designs in an attempt to minimize this type of error by making systems more forgiving or error tolerant. Errors in a system can also be latent design errors that may go unnoticed for years, until the right set of circumstances arises that cause them to become active. See also Observational error. ==Medicine== See medical error for a description of error in medicine. ==Aviation== See aviation safety for a description of how flying has been made safer by making the aviation system more error tolerant. ==Telecommunication== An error is a deviation from a correct value caused by a malfunction in a system or a functional unit. An example would be the occurrence of a wrong bit caused by an equipment malfunction. (Sources: Federal Standard 1037C and MIL-STD-188). See also error-correcting code and error-detecting code . A soft error is a deviation from a correct value which does not necessarily imply a malfunction. ==Programming== An error is incorrectly written code, usually not intentional. There are two major types of error. The syntax error is easiest to detect since the code will not compile properly and cannot be parsed. The logical error is more difficult to solve since it involves the working of the actual code. Both types of error can create an error avalanche, which is caused by the now broken code continuing to affect subsequent code. ''See also :'' error handling. ==Linguistics== An individual language user's deviations from standard language paradigms are sometimes referred to as errors. At present, this usage is out of favor outside of language classes. Those who recognize the role of language usage in everyday social class distinctions feel that linguistics should be descriptive rather than prescriptive to avoid reinforcing dominant class value judgments about what linguistic forms should and should not be used. ==Biology== An error is said to occur when perfect fidelity is lost in the copying of information. For example, in an asexually reproducing species, an error (or mutation) has occurred for each DNA nucleotide that differs between the child and the parent. Errors in this sense are not judged as "good" or "bad", although an error may make an organism either more or less adapted to its environment. ==Baseball== An error is judged by the official scorer when a runner advances a base because of a fielding mistake, and perfect play would have prevented the advancement, and the mistake was physical. Mental misjudgments are not errors. Failing to get more than one out on given play is not an error. Application of this rule is necessarily subjective. See error (baseball). ==See also== *Mistake *Blunder *Trial and error *Measurement error *Spell checking *Cognitive bias *Typo *Root cause *Root cause analysis ==External links== *[http://books.nap.edu/html/to_err_is_human/Ch3.PDF Why do errors happen? (pdf)] *[http://books.nap.edu/html/to_err_is_human Advance Copy of ''To Err is Human - Building a Safer Health System''] Error ErrorI removed most of this entry. It was largely a combination of a less than fruitful attempt at a general-purpose definition of "error" and random trivia from a number of disciplines. Some particular comments: :An industry, insurance, has grown up to protect both victims and perpetrators from the baleful effects of error. Removed this silly claim. Many kinds of insurance are designed not to protect you from error, but from "acts of God", such as fires and floods. Unless you mean to call God and/or "the Universe" a source of "error". Insurance protects you from many things that are not error, including chance and intentional malice. :Errors occur naturally, for example, an error in the replication of genetic material will result in a mutation, probably an unfavorable one. Removed. Not NPOV. Whether errors occur "naturally" is entirely a matter of philosophical perspective. There is certainly a perspective from which anything natural is, by definition, free of error. In the case of genetics, you can only regard mutation as an "error" if you take as given that nature "wants" its replication processes to be exact replication processes. :Irrespectively of their inevitability, at law the fiction is maintained that an error is a wrong, negligence, a tort, for which anyone who suffers damage as the proximate cause thereof must be damages by the tortfeasor. That's nice. Why can't this be in an article about law? --User:Ryguasu 09:16 Nov 12, 2002 (UTC) How about a section for Human Error? I would base it on the book of the same name written by James Reason. I may try it soon, but I don't currently have a copy of the book (an article on the book and its author would also be nice), but if anyone else wants to take a crack, give it a go. User:Spalding 16:01, Oct 10, 2004 (UTC) == Accidents == Accidents are often caused when a chain of errors occur that bypass safety countermeasures. This applies most particularly in the fieds of transportation. User:Syd1435 06:04, 2004 Nov 11 (UTC) ErrorErrare humanum est I Wikipedia: Don't use line breaks#Use single line breaks. ==Pictures== I have decided to Wikipedia:Multi-licensing my pics under GFDL and Creative Commons Template:Cc-by-sa-2.0.

I hope you like the place and decide to Wikipedia:wikipedians. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Wikipedia:Naming conventions or how to format them visit our Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Wikipedia:Help or add a question to the wikipedia:Village pump. Cheers! --user:maveric149 Good day, Error. Thanks for your suggestions made at Talk:Lamaism. I have moved the contents with appropriateness to Tibetan Buddhism. A link at the latter is available for the Vajrayana article. Be well. User:Usedbook 01:05 22 May 2003 (UTC) Hi, Error! I've included your additions to Iberian Romance languages about Mozarabe in a new article with that name. Cheers! User:Marco Neves ---- Hi, just noticed your contributions to OS/2 and Sandinista. Nice to see you again (maybe you never went anywhere but I hadn't seen much of you lately). As you seem interested in and well-informed about Latin American topics, I wondered if you would care to look at two recent articles of mine: El Mozote massacre and Ben Linder. (No wish to bang my own drum; just that the new articles list so long these days... and I welcome a little feedback!) Regarding OS/2, I still run it on my desktop machine, so I am well-acquainted with the shortcomings of the single-input queue! -- User:Viajero 13:18, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC) : Yes, I haven't had much time for editing recently. I have read the articles you mention and I doubt I have ever heard about those affairs. Sorry. -- User:Error 01:10, 19 Nov 2003 (UTC) ---- ==German colonization of the Americas== Back on June 8th, you added a link to European colonization of the Americas for the "failed German colony". No article has ever been written on this subject. I have tried but can't determine what you were referring to. I would help write it if you can get my an idea which group you meant. User:Rmhermen 19:28, Dec 23, 2003 (UTC) : From memory, during 16th century, the Fugger lenders had a tight grip on the Spanish monarchy. There was a plan to make the Fugger colonize History of Venezuela with German settlers, but they didn't last. -- User:Error 03:06, 6 Jan 2004 (UTC) ::See if this looks right - German colonization of the Americas. I couldn't find any link to the Fuggers though- the Welsers, yes. The Fuggers did have links to Chile and mines there -did they set up a colony there? User:Rmhermen 16:06, Jan 6, 2004 (UTC) :::It sounds like what I remembered. I probably used Fuggers instead of Welsers because those were the only German bankers whose name I can remember. Thank you. -- User:Error 01:42, 7 Jan 2004 (UTC) ==Berber== Hi Error. You've made some good edits to Berber - would you be willing to come and look over it? Arguing with someone who thinks he speaks English but doesn't - and is convinced that I'm engaged in some sort of campaign against his entire ethnic group to boot - is frankly maddening, and some third-party input on the state of the article would be great. - User:Mustafaa 23:08, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC) == Negerhollands == A somewhat belated reply to your Negerhollands question on the talk:Afrikaans language (q.v.), but nevertheless... User:Cwoyte 12:06, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC) ==Altamira== Hi Error, nice work on Altamira (cave); I look forward to reading about the Franco-Cantabric art too. User:Adamsan 13:07, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC) == Galizan== Nice entry on Galizan, very encyclopaediac. Very NPOV, in a content that is very contested. Please see the same problem in Portuguese language, I've altered to seem NPOV, but I think it needs more NPOV. I (myself) added info that seems POV. But considering "Galicia" a country is not to much? The best word wouldnt be Spanish Autonomous Region?--User:PedroPVZ 10:41, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC) == Sabazios == Since you're convinced by the reference in Britannica, perhaps you'd give an explanation of what's referred to by "From Val. Max. i. 3, 2, it has been concluded that Sabazius was identified in ancient times..." etc. The original quote being referred to would do. Thank you. User:Wetman 01:10, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC) :SeeTalk:Sabazios#Sabaoth -- User:Error 01:33, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC) == Gernikako Arbola == The tree is this pic is already oficially dead. In 2004's spring gardeners or Bizkaiko Aldundia declared it had died on 2003's summer. Shouldn't we mention it?--User:Erri4a 22:41, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC) :Done -- User:Error 23:06, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC) == Eusko Alkartasuna == Can you see my questions at Talk:Eusko Alkartasuna. I believe they both relate to passages you wrote last March. Thanks in advance. -- User:Jmabel | User talk:Jmabel 00:58, Oct 23, 2004 (UTC) == Y as an Unix command == Hi! Maybe you could answer my question at Talk:Y, as it was you who added the mentioned info. Thanks, User:Mormegil 19:46, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC) == Basque article == Could you have a look at Idiazabal's latest comments in Talk:Basque? I've always found you to have a knowledgable, non-partisan view on Basque matters. I've heard Arana (and, more importantly, his mid-20th century PNV followers) criticized by Basque nationalists of my generation (I'm born in '54) for a racist view of Basque nationality. But I would not claim to be expert on any of this. I would much rather see you engage with him and work out what the article should say than to try to do so myself as an outsider. -- User:Jmabel | User talk:Jmabel 20:30, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC) On this again: could you see my latest remark at Talk:Basque? Basically, I trust you on this, and as long as you are a participant in sorting out what we say on Arana, etc., I'm sure I'll be happy with the result. -- User:Jmabel | User talk:Jmabel 22:35, Oct 28, 2004 (UTC) I'm trying to make sense of the materials Idiazabal has presented. It's heavy going. I'm a little uncertain of my understanding on certain points. See :Image:Fuero.JPG, the first of several pages I have transcribed (and am attempting to translate). General review would be welcome, but in particular: # I need help on the meaning of "parte" in "...de las letras nasce verbo; é de los verbos, parte; é de la parte, razon..." # Could you let me know whether I am right to understand "Embargar non puede ninguna cosa las leyes que non hayan fuerza é el poder que habemos dicho, sino tres cosas..." as "Nothing can underlie the laws that have force among us and the power [of] which we have spoken except three things..." Needless to say, this is all pretty archaic; is "...que non hayan fuerza..." really correct medieval Spanish, or is it a typo for "...que nos hayan fuerza..."? Thanks in advance for any help you can give; feel free to edit my translation; if the easiest thing for you to do is to paraphrase in Spanish on the talk page rather than translate, that's fine; whatever is the easiest for you, I'm the one asking for help. -- User:Jmabel | User talk:Jmabel 02:00, Nov 6, 2004 (UTC) Thanks for your help. More of the same. Want to look in on :Image:Fuero2.JPG and Image talk:Fuero2.JPG? 3 words and a phrase I think I pretty much understand, but am hesitant to translate. -- User:Jmabel | User talk:Jmabel 06:56, Nov 6, 2004 (UTC) Thanks again. :Image:Fuero3.JPG is ready for your review; there were two phrases where I'm shaky. -- User:Jmabel | User talk:Jmabel 06:35, Nov 7, 2004 (UTC) Ditto for :Image:Fuero4.JPG -- User:Jmabel | User talk:Jmabel 01:12, Nov 8, 2004 (UTC) == Basque racism. == Were "Basques" the Madrid supporters that yesterday glorified the Spanish flag while making Spanish racism and xenofobia famous worldwide? Or perhapps with a little bit "translation" of the Black Legend to the Basques it will be going to be covered as always?User:Idiazabal 13:58, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC) :I don't watch football, but I have being wanting to start some section about Politics on Spanish football. If you want to write generically about racism in Spain, I direct you again to Politics of Spain. -- User:Error 23:32, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC) == Carlism == I made a bunch of changes to the article. I suppose you'll be so nice to check it as usual. BTW, as "basque nationalism" seems to be one of your specialities, do you have references about the pace of implantation of the Jelkides before the war? :Uff, Google is your friend, but let me check: :''Historia 16, nº 271'', ''La creación de Sabino Arana'', Ludger Mees, UPV-EHU. ::''Durante el primer decenio del siglo XX, el PNV ya había conseguido establecerse en la capital vizcaína y en algunos distritos electorales rurales como una fuerza plítica que competía por las mayorías. En la capital, el partido había tenido incluso dos veces alcalde nombrado por Real Orden. En las otras provincias menos movilizadas social y económicamente, el avance del movimiento fue mucho más pausado y lento. En Guipúzcoa aunque una norma interna del partido dictara lo contrario, los representantes nacionalistas tuvieron que recurrir a menudo a las alianzas con otros partidos (derechistas) para sacar adelante a sus candidatos. Así los primeros concejales nacionalistas de la capital donostiarra, elegidos en 1911, debieron sus escaños a la alianza electoral con los conservadores.'' :Summarizing: 1898: Arana is 1st PNVer in Biscayne Parl. Early nationalism was just Bilbao and Bermeo.[...] 900 members of Juventudes Vascas in Bilbao (1913). Pamplona and Vitoria got councilors from JEL during WWI. Same about Cortes (problems with money, lack of prestigious candidates and the reluctance of some about participating in Spanish institutions. In 1907 Pedro Anitua was the 1st PNV candidate to Cortes (for Bilbao). But De la Sota's moderates supported the monarchist tycoon Ybarra. 1915: 1st PNVer in Guipuzcoan parliament. 1917: a 2nd one; majority in Biscay parl. and Bilbao; 3 men in SS; 3 in Pamplona. 1918: Comunión sweeps Cortes in Biscay but for Indalecio Prieto; also acts in Bergara and Pamplona. 1919: Biscayne monarchists ally with PSOE: PNV loses Diputación. 1920: After elections and condemns, only one MP, Pamplona's Manuel Aranzadi. :During Primo, PNV was more repressed than CNV, which didn't lose their councillors. However, lots of cultural and hidden activity. :''op.cit.'', ''Entre el Pacto de San Sebastián y el de Santoña (1930-1937)'', José Luis de la Granja Sainz, UPV-EHU: :1931: 6 MPs (with Carlism). 1932: 12 MPs. 1933: 9 MPs. Most extended party in BC: Over 25000 male members and near 30000 women in Emakume Abertzale Batzar. Hegemony in Biscayne countryside, majority (plurality?) in Guipuzcoa, minority in Alava, very weak in Navarre. Feb 1936: Extreme polarization and internal crisis: PNV loses 30,000 votes and 3 MPs, but still top Basque party: BC + Navarre: PNV 9 MPs, right 8, Popular Front (Spain): 7. :Is that enough? -- User:Error 00:21, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC) Would be interesting to check the teory of genealogical descent of the PNV from the Carlism --User:Wllacer 17:30, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC) :I don't know if I have something clearly about that. Ramón de la Sota was a liberal fuerista, tough. -- User:Error 00:21, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC) ==Black Death== I'm trying to clean up the article Black Death and wondered if you had a reliable source for your addition about depopluation causing an increase in meat consumption. I can't find that fact anywhere. If you could clear that up it would be appreciated.

You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures.
