Hi. Hate to bug you, but I was reviewing new pages and came across this article. Not seeing enough to meet WP:GNG, and when I pull up Google scholar, not sure if, in this field, these types of numbers meet the WP:NSCHOLAR requirement. Thoughts? Onel5969 TT me 00:59, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

Since it’s the first part of the "Name" section and not the "Changed names" part (one of the shortcuts to it is indeed titled MOS:BIRTHNAME), we should obviously use a name that was never changed; since Clinton wasn’t Hillary’s maiden name, we should therefore use something else. Esszet ( talk) 00:12, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
I notice that the article Virginia Vassilevska Williams contains the template {{ DEFAULTSORT:Williams, Virginia Vassilevska}}. That is, her name is alphabetized in Wikipedia under Williams rather than Vassilevska. Do you know if that is right? I thought she uses a double-barrelled name which would be alphabetized under V. Thanks. 173.228.123.166 ( talk) 07:48, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I don't suppose you could take a look at this article when you've got a minute? An editor removed some of the Florentin Smarandache related content and gave justifiable, if rather blunt, reasons, and an edit-war has broken out with some editors who I don't think appreciate the full extent of the situation. I have no particular opinion on whether the Smarandache should stay or go, but I think a discussion needs to be had about it. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 21:26, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

As a computer scientist yourself I wanted to know whether you think Stuart Reges of the University of Washington is notable enough for an article. He probably doesn't meet WP:PROF but there is some coverage of him in independent reliable sources such as these: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] So I am wondering if in your opinion he is notable enough to meet WP:BIO or any other notability guideline like WP:GNG.

Regarding this edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=K-d_tree&diff=prev&oldid=852749179
The comment is specifically in the Nearest Neighbor Search section of the kd-tree article. Just to make sure we're not confusing nearest neighbor search vs kd-tree element search. It is understood that finding an element or bounding box that would contain a given query element in kd-tree is O(logn), but in the context of NNS, when kd-tree is used, you must first find the bounding box that would contain the query element, and then calculate the distance between the query and the datapoint that's in the same box, and walk back up the tree every time the distance between the points exceeds the distance to the dividing boundary, and search the other side of the tree too.
A very easy way to demonstrate that the worst case NNS using kd-tree is O(n) is as follows:
Hello! I wonder if you could take a look at this draft. It seems it will take a while until someone could find a time to review it.

Also, just a note here because the WiR talk is getting crazy and I want the timeline here to be clear: I saw WCM's post on Elisa's page, went to the history, checked the diffs, went back to her contribs to check the block log, saw the blanking of the talk page, and then blocked. I know it's a tight timeline, but through edit histories being point-in-time and my always blocking from contributions, I didn't catch WCM's revert until you pointed it out to me. I'm trying to stay out of the dispute over the content since I blocked, but I also want to be very clear on what happened since I think accountability is important when blocking an established editor. Anyway, thanks for all the work you do for the project. It really is appreciated. TonyBallioni ( talk) 01:45, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi David. I'm not sure if you were aware of Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2018 July 27#File:'Bridge' by Kenneth Noland, 1964..jpg., but the file originally was licensed as non-free content, and appears to have been converted to PD as a result of that discussion. It was then tagged for a move to Commons and subsequently moved there. Now, perhaps the close and everything that followed was just one mistake after another, but I'm not sure F9 is the best way to try and sort this out. Perhaps it would be better to follow WP:CLOSECHALLENGE. The FFD discusison was closed by Jo-Jo Eumerus so maybe he would be willing to reconsider it and return the file back to non-free to allow further discussion. The reason the file was intially brought up for discussion at FFD was because of concerns raised about its non-free use; simply converting it back to non-free would resolve the F9 issue, but at the same time it would "re-create" those non-free issues.
As for the discussion on the Commons file, I feel that's best left to Commons. I'm only suggesting that we try and keep the Wikipedia and Commons discussions separate since the Commons file most likely will have to go, but the local file might be able to be kept as non-free, with it only being removed from certain articles. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 02:55, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

I had tried to clarify the Longest path problem entry, as it has issues regarding both clarity and consistency of the actual nature of the problem.
On the same page, it:
Several of the claims about linearity, NP-Hard complexity are related to the particular restrictions on either the path (simple or not) or the graph (acyclic, directed, non-negative weights).
Indeed, I made two grammatical/editing mistakes during this edit:
I feel that these two grammar + one logical mistake that I made should not have led to the revert.
I hope you'll take the time to giving me specific pointers on, other than the grammar, how this edit can be improved. Please clarify additional objections to the edits that I made.
If this edit is rejected for other reasons, I still strongly advise that a warning is added to the page that it is incomplete, needs clarifications. The current state does not reflect a proper dissection of clarification of the main issues that I feel most Wikipedia visitors would look for.

The article Weiqing Gu has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Fails WP:BIO. Sources listed are not independent except for the cancer article, which only mentions her briefly. No evidence of significant third-party coverage.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Either provide evidence,
in the form of diffs, behind your
blatant personal attack that WBG has been stalking article creator Elisa Rolle's talk page in an apparent crusade to expurgate anything she has done from Wikipedia and prevent her from collaborating with anyone else who might want to further her interests in covering women on Wikipedia
or retract the statement with an unconditional apology.

Tarjan did indeed use 1-based array index. Cormen also used 1-based array index in his book Introduction to algorithms, MIT press, page 152 on Heapsort. Please clarify in the wiki page or change the referenced source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Myeditacc ( talk • contribs) 15:32, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
I'd appreciate your unbiased opinion on WP:Articles_for_deletion/Gary_Mokotoff. See also User_talk:Michig#Before_I_take_it_to_deletion_review.... E Eng 20:27, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
I had tried to clarify the Longest path problem entry, as it has issues regarding both clarity and consistency of the actual nature of the problem.
On the same page, it:
Several of the claims about linearity, NP-Hard complexity are related to the particular restrictions on either the path (simple or not) or the graph (acyclic, directed, non-negative weights).
Indeed, I made two grammatical/editing mistakes during this edit:
I feel that these two grammar + one logical mistake that I made should not have led to the revert.
I hope you'll take the time to giving me specific pointers on, other than the grammar, how this edit can be improved. Please clarify additional objections to the edits that I made.
If this edit is rejected for other reasons, I still strongly advise that a warning is added to the page that it is incomplete, needs clarifications. The current state does not reflect a proper dissection of clarification of the main issues that I feel most Wikipedia visitors would look for.

I just noticed that Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Autumn Kent was never transcluded into the actual MfD list. I guess the procedural thing to do is to list it now, but it seems a pity to waste editors' attention for another week. Sigh. XOR'easter ( talk) 22:16, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
On 23 August 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Evelyn Wang, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a solar-powered device for extracting water from the air, co-designed by Evelyn Wang, has been compared to the moisture vaporators in Star Wars? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Evelyn Wang. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Evelyn Wang), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

On 26 August 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Magdalena Mouján, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a story by Argentine mathematician Magdalena Mouján about a Basque family that travels back in time to their homeland was blocked by the Franco regime? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Magdalena Mouján. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Magdalena Mouján), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

I nominated ABeam Consulting for deletion via PROD but a weird thing has happened. The date and time indicating when the seven days would be up has come and passed but the message the article is now eligible for deletion has not popped up like it would normally do. What do I do? Thanks. Lovelylinda1980 ( talk) 13:33, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
The article
Isosceles triangle you nominated as a
good article has passed
; see
Talk:Isosceles triangle for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can
nominate it to appear in Did you know. Message delivered by

The article Weiqing Gu has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Fails WP:BIO. Sources listed are not independent except for the cancer article, which only mentions her briefly. No evidence of significant third-party coverage.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Either provide evidence,
in the form of diffs, behind your
blatant personal attack that WBG has been stalking article creator Elisa Rolle's talk page in an apparent crusade to expurgate anything she has done from Wikipedia and prevent her from collaborating with anyone else who might want to further her interests in covering women on Wikipedia
or retract the statement with an unconditional apology.
FWIW, AFAIR, I came across the name first, in Tony's application for CU and the Interaction Analyser does not contradict, either. ∯WBG converse 18:14, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks! Too busy working on GA on Women in brewing and Ángela Acuña Braun to fall for the baiting. I did think it was a retaliatory nomination, but it shows the measure of not only the editor but the scope of bias we deal with. I have no intention of engaging further but appreciate your independent assessment that it was a personal attack. SusunW ( talk) 18:38, 22 September 2018 (UTC) |
