When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled " Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. – Oleg Alexandrov ( talk) 17:56, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I propose updating the probit graph. The probit is a function with domain [0,1] and range on the real line. The axies should be labeled as such. Were this an article on statistics (which it isn't it's an article on the function) your labels would be great. Pdbailey 00:51, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Hey, I am with you on the inductive logic edit. The last sentence added makes it look redundant. If you need any support on that, just let me know. Pjwerner ( talk) 12:29, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I reverted a change to the exponential distribution article about the minimum of exponential variables, and then noticed that it was your change, and that you are a statistician, and I am not. This prompts me to notify you of my change, in case I am mistaken. I think that you ran afoul of the notation in the article, where the rate is used in the pdf like this: , instead of the alternative definition of . -- Coffee2theorems ( talk) 16:07, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
I notice that you are part of Category:Inclusionist_Wikipedians. I would like you to consider joining the Article Rescue Squadron. Rescue Squadron members are focused on rescuing articles for deletion, that might otherwise be lost forever. I think you will find our project matches your vision of Wikipedia.

Hello, I have responded to your comments on the proposed Math. Form. for the MHP. Thanks for taking your time to reply, if you care to. glopk ( talk) 17:18, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
Please note that formal mediation is re-starting. Your name has been mentioned as a recently active editor [1]. Let us know if you wish to be a particpant. Sunray ( talk) 00:40, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I've reverted your recent deletion. I think the text was necessary to distinguish between the technical sense of "prior" and the more familiar meaning of the word. The justification you've given in the edit summary doesn't make sense to me. Happy to discuss further in article Talk, MartinPoulter ( talk) 19:48, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
Because of your previous participation at Monty Hall problem, I am inviting you to comment on the following RfC:

On the talk page of MHP this thresad is left unsolved, that's why I bring it again to your attention:
Sorry, Coffee2theorems, often people come with alternative descriptions as if they would make the problem more understandable. As if the original setting is not simple enough as it is. Anyway, if you like to use an alternative setting, like yours, with tiny doors, etc, you firstly have to show it's equivalent to the MHP, and guess ... it isn't. That's often the point, someone gives an alternative description, from which they believe it is equivalent to the MHP, and then proves their different way of solving with this alternative description. Why are people that reluctant to admit Devlin's combining is nonsense? Nothing particularly difficult there. I will spell it out again. Devlin reasons: 1) the not chosen doors 2 and 3 have together probability 2/3 on the car (what he omits to mention, or simply doesn't realize, is that each has probability 1/3); 2) the opened door 3 has probability 0 on the car. To me this is a contradiction. And to you?
Please comment. Nijdam ( talk) 09:02, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
Glad to hear. I know all this, and I'm not willing to "fix" the solution. As I said: combining, i.e. stating that p1+p2=2/3, does not contribute to any understanding. And I'm quite convinced that most people - including Devlin - just don't (din't) notice the difference between p1+p2 and q1+q2. That's why it is so appealing, and that's why I consider the combining argument highly misleading. Nijdam ( talk) 22:17, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
