Slang

2008-08-24T20:18:12Z

GodWithUs:

'''Slang''' consists of informal terms not recognized as proper usage or not found in older [[dictionaries]], which express ideas or emotions of particular groups or cultures. It is used most commonly by the underclass and the posessed.

Slang is a product of [[culture]], and changes over time. A review of the slang of the 1920s illustrates how much it does change.<ref>[http://local.aaca.org/bntc/slang/slang.htm "Slang of the 1920's"]</ref>

Knave

2008-08-24T20:16:06Z

GodWithUs:

'''Knave''' medieval term for a journeyman or male servant. The term has come to carry the connotation of a disreputable fellow but also refers to a [[Jack (playing cards)]]. It is also a staple of faux-Middle English insults.

DeviantART

2008-08-24T20:02:16Z

GodWithUs: deviantART is not capitalized.

'''deviantART''' is an online [[artist]] community. It allows users to register for free and present their art in individual galleries. Recently, deviantART has allowed users to organise their galleries into folders, whereas before there was simple the main gallery and scraps. Works of all media and literature are accepted, though there is some limitation on content. The most popular artwork tend to be of the [[anime]] style, and either [[Naruto]] or [[Kingdom Hearts]] fanart.

Solar System

2008-08-24T20:00:51Z

GodWithUs: /The/ solar system. There are other systems, but no other solar systems.

The '''Solar System''' includes the [[Sun]] and all the objects in orbit around the sun.<ref>Freedman, Kaufmann: ''Universe'', 7th edition</ref> Objects orbiting the sun include planets, moons, asteroids, and comets.

==Planets==
A [[planet]] is defined as an object that orbits the [[sun]], is massive enough that its own gravity pulls it into a nearly round shape, and is dominant enough to clear away objects in its neighborhood. <ref>http://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/solarsystem/planetsf-20060824.html</ref> There are 8 planets in the solar system. They are, in order of increasing distance from the sun:<ref>The third grade</ref>
*[[Mercury]]
*[[Venus]]
*[[Earth]]
*[[Mars]]
*[[Jupiter]]
*[[Saturn]]
*[[Uranus]]
*[[Neptune]]

The first four planets are [[terrestrial planet]]s, the last 4 planets are [[jovian planet]]s. Terrestrial planets are small in size, have high densities, and consist of rocky materials. Jovian planets are large in size, have low densities, and consist of gaseous materials.

==Dwarf Planets==
A [[dwarf planet]] is an object that orbits the sun and has a round shape. The crucial difference between a planet and a dwarf planet is that a dwarf planet is not large enough to clear the neighborhood of its orbit. Currently recognized dwarf planets are:<ref>http://www.answers.com/topic/dwarf-planet</ref>
*[[Pluto]]<sup>[[#Note|[1]]]</sup>
*[[Eris]]
*[[Ceres]]
===Note===
<sup>[1]</sup>Pluto was considered a planet until 2006.<ref>http://www.thenewstribune.com/soundlife/story/261408.html</ref>

==Asteroids==
[[Asteroid]]s are irregularly shaped chunks of rocks in the solar system. They exist mostly in 2 places:

*The [[asteroid belt]], which is between the orbits of [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]]
*The [[Kuiper belt]], which shares its orbit with [[Pluto]]

==Comets==
[[Comets]] are chunks of dust and ice. Some are in an [[ellipse|elliptical]] orbit around the sun, meaning that they will return someday. Some are in a [[hyperbola|hyperbolic]] orbit around the sun, meaning that they will only come into the solar system once and will never return.

Metrorail

2008-08-24T19:57:27Z

GodWithUs:

'''Metrorail''', often referred to as ''the Metro'', is the public [[subway]] system in [[Washington, D.C.]], owned by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), a government agency established by [[compact|interstate compact]] between [[District of Columbia|the District of Columbia]], [[Maryland]] and [[Virginia]] with the approval of [[Congress]]. It is governed by a Board of Directors whose members are appointed by the [[Council of the District of Columbia|D.C. City Council]], the [[Northern Virginia Transportation Commission]], and the [[Washington Suburban Transit Commission]].

Metrorail began operations in 1976. The subway system consists of five "lines": the Red, Orange, Green, Blue, and Yellow lines. WMATA also operates a bus system known as [[Metrobus]]. This makes maps easy to follow visually, although some colorblind passengers have experienced problems differentiating between some of the colors. The stations and trains are known for being clean and tidy.

Talk:Atheist denial

GodWithUs:

==Needs to be formatted as an encyclopedia entry==

I'm not attacking the creation of the article, but it's less than a stub if the entire content is a single block of quoted text lifted from another website. I'd suggest using the style guide to format the page, add some original content, and locate the current text under a section titled "Quotes Regarding Atheist Denial" --[[User:DinsdaleP|DinsdaleP]] 13:29, 22 August 2008 (EDT)
