"I am enthusiastic over humanity’s extraordinary and sometimes very timely ingenuity. If you are in a shipwreck and all the boats are gone, a piano top buoyant enough to keep you afloat that comes along makes a fortuitous life preserver. But this is not to say that the best way to design a life preserver is in the form of a piano top. I think that we are clinging to a great many piano tops in accepting yesterday’s fortuitous contrivings as constituting the only means for solving a given problem." - Richard Buckminster Fuller

Picture of the day

Lord Kelvin (26 June 1824 – 17 December 1907) was a British mathematician, mathematical physicist and engineer. Born in Belfast, he was Professor of Natural Philosophy at the University of Glasgow for 53 years, where he undertook significant research, including on electricity and the formulation of the first and second laws of thermodynamics. He was also the first to determine the correct value of absolute zero, and the Kelvin scale of temperature is named in his honour. Kelvin received the Copley Medal in 1883, served as the president of the Royal Society from 1890 to 1895, and in 1892 became the first British scientist to be elevated to the House of Lords. This photograph, taken circa 1900, shows Kelvin resting on a binnacle (the stand for a marine compass) of his invention, and holding a marine azimuth mirror.Photograph credit: T. & R. Annan & Sons; restored by Adam Cuerden

Tip of the day... What are templates used for? Templates are pages that you can include on another page. They are usually used to insert boilerplate messages that need to be displayed on more than one page. Templates are quite versatile and can be used to accomplish many things. For example, some specialized uses for templates are: Displaying a different page each day (like the Tip of the day, Pic of the day, etc.) Infoboxes (e.g., Template:Infobox philosopher). To see Socrates in this infobox, click here. Displaying a random page (see this implemented at Wikipedia:Featured content). Navigation bars (e.g., Template:Portals browsebar). Navigation boxes (e.g., Template:Greek myth). WikiProject task boxes (e.g., Template:PhilosophyTasksBox). Page headers, like the header at the top of the Help Desk To include a template on a page, enclose it in double curly brackets, leaving out the prefix "Template:", like this: {{In the news}} Prior tip – Tips library – Next tip Read more: Templates   Become a Wikipedia tipster To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{tip of the day}}
