I found a comment you made a while back in Wikipedia talk:Babel/Archive1#Category: User languages -> Wikipedians by languages ??, expressing support for the idea of renaming user language categories like Category:User en to Category:Wikipedians who speak English or the like. I've just submitted a CfR to do so at Wikipedia:User categories for discussion#Category:User en, so please feel free to weigh in if you feel moved to do so. :-) Tim Pierce 04:04, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Please provide an explanation for why you removed from Paul Graham, "A list of his essays is the first Google English language search result for the query "essays," as of March 4, 2007."

A tag has been placed on BeerTender, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{
hangon}}
on the top of the page and leave a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any
citations from
reliable sources to ensure that the article will be
verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Your changes to C++ were reverted. As the article discusses C++-the-standard-language rather than C++-as-implemented-by-gcc, the ostream include is mandatory. Please do not remove this just because it works in your particular compiler. -- Yamla 14:07, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi this is the former wonphi here, and I found out that you had talked to me about some butter fly kick issue. I will be glad to stop deleting the improper pictures, and replace them with my own.
However, may I gain permission to have access to my "wonphi" account again. Thanks and reply fast.
Hi wonphi here. Well I had no idea you could not block people, but when I type in my password, it says
"Incorrect password entered. Please try again.", but I am 100% sure my password is right.
Whats going on?
Well it says that I have no email written in order for it to mail to me? Has this ever happened to anyone before?
I found an even better direction. See Wikipedia:Administrators noticeboard#HD-DVD decryption key. The key has been added to the spam blacklist so whenever anyone adds it to any page, it isn't allowed to save. The key has been removed from the history of the HD DVD article by WJBscribe.

Please stop pretending this is a free speech issue. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and content that does not further the goals of the encyclopedia may be removed if there is reason to do so. Friday (talk) 18:12, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Have you ever read any analysis on freedom of speech. You really need to educate yourself before trying to crusade for something you do not understand. Read any original text on free speech and they all have in common that you are free to speak anything IN PUBLIC. Wikipedia is not public, it may be a free encyclopedia but it still creates its own rules and own rights. Free speech is never guaranteed in any private place anywhere in the world unless the very owners of the private property decide it is. 128.227.13.27 22:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Some Wikipedia users should be ashamed of themselves by trying to censor a harmless string of numbers. When you look at an HD DVD and say "09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0" the disk does not magically start playing on your TV. Tcrow777 talk 08:15, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello MarSch, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as fair use. The image ( Image:Invisible Pink Unicorn Logo.png) was found at the following location: User:MarSch. This image or media will be removed per statement number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not re-add the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the Creative Commons or GFDL license or released to the public domain. Please note that it is possible that the image on your page is included vie a template or usebox. In that case, please find a free image for the template or userbox. Thanks for your attention and cooperation. User:Gnome (Bot) -talk 12:42, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Antiisomorphic has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this is more a dictionary definition than an encyclopedia article. Please review Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary for the relevant policy. If you can expand the article to address these concerns, please do so, or explain your plans on the talk page.
If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod notice, the deletion process will stop, but if an editor is still not satisfied that the article meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion for consensus.

criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "

notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the
proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the
speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to

consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{

I'm a little skeptical, to be candid. It's certainly not common practice for stub-sorting when done by hand, it'd make the edit summaries much verbose, and it adds no actual new information to the edit. What'd be the actual benefit? Alai 23:21, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I guess I'm failing to see it. The French "book" appears just to be an instruction manual (though, admittedly, that's from my limited ability to read French, please do correct me if I'm wrong there), and someone discussed it once. That's not comprehensive sourcing. As to consensus to delete, AfD is not a vote. Most keep rationales are irrelevant (what the software can do, what it replaces/how much that costs, none of which have a thing to do with notability or retention of an article), while the delete rationales (aside from the nomination itself, which was poor and also off-topic) are on-topic and relevant, pointing to a lack of sources (and in the end, sourceability is the primary factor in retention/deletion). The only person who states it "can be sourced easily" does not say how or provide any actual sources. I just don't see enough beyond instruction manuals for a full, comprehensive article. If and when the software actually has some real-world impact, that might change. Seraphimblade Talk to me 20:50, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Another editor has added the {{

Caloron, suggesting that it be deleted according to the
proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also
Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and
Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at
its talk page. If you remove the {{
prod}}
template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

An editor has nominated Caloron, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Caloron and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 15:59, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, but I have re-reverted to my updated version of the factorion article. If you look carefully at my changes you will see that I did not remove any information - I re-worded for greater clarity, and added internal links to number articles and an external link to the relevant OEIS sequence. And I have removed the stub tag again because I think this article, although short, says everything that there is to say about its subject. I believe that my version is a definite improevment over the old version. Gandalf61 ( talk) 12:46, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Why did you undo the edit that changed xor to
λm. λn. m (λa. λb. n b a) n
? That's just the full expansion of
λm. λn. m (not n) n
which is arguably the best expression of xor. Having (n a b) at the end of the expression is redundant, since that just reduces to n.

At Bilinear map you contributed
(In mathematics, a bilinear map is a function (mathematics) which is linear in both of its arguments. An example of such a map is multiplication of integers.)
Do you mean ZxZ->Z as a function in two variables of the ring Z, is bilinear?
Why does the definition which immediately follows this specify that bilinear functions are functions on products of vector spaces, as opposed to modules over commutative rings? Yes, I see the sentence some part of the page down which generalizes to this, but isn't there something wrong with [title/example] \\ [definition which is not sufficiently general for the example in the title]. ?

I'm a little skeptical, to be candid. It's certainly not common practice for stub-sorting when done by hand, it'd make the edit summaries much verbose, and it adds no actual new information to the edit. What'd be the actual benefit? Alai 23:21, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
I'll try contribute here, yes. Now let's try latex, .
It's great!

I'm sorry, but I guess I'm failing to see it. The French "book" appears just to be an instruction manual (though, admittedly, that's from my limited ability to read French, please do correct me if I'm wrong there), and someone discussed it once. That's not comprehensive sourcing. As to consensus to delete, AfD is not a vote. Most keep rationales are irrelevant (what the software can do, what it replaces/how much that costs, none of which have a thing to do with notability or retention of an article), while the delete rationales (aside from the nomination itself, which was poor and also off-topic) are on-topic and relevant, pointing to a lack of sources (and in the end, sourceability is the primary factor in retention/deletion). The only person who states it "can be sourced easily" does not say how or provide any actual sources. I just don't see enough beyond instruction manuals for a full, comprehensive article. If and when the software actually has some real-world impact, that might change. Seraphimblade Talk to me 20:50, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Another editor has added the {{
prod}}
template to the article
Caloron, suggesting that it be deleted according to the
proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also
Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and
Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at
its talk page. If you remove the {{
prod}}
template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

An editor has nominated Caloron, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Caloron and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 15:59, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, but I have re-reverted to my updated version of the factorion article. If you look carefully at my changes you will see that I did not remove any information - I re-worded for greater clarity, and added internal links to number articles and an external link to the relevant OEIS sequence. And I have removed the stub tag again because I think this article, although short, says everything that there is to say about its subject. I believe that my version is a definite improevment over the old version. Gandalf61 ( talk) 12:46, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Why did you undo the edit that changed xor to
λm. λn. m (λa. λb. n b a) n
? That's just the full expansion of
λm. λn. m (not n) n
which is arguably the best expression of xor. Having (n a b) at the end of the expression is redundant, since that just reduces to n.

You received this message because your were on the old list of WikiProject Physics participants.
On 2008-06-25, the WikiProject Physics participant list was rewritten from scratch as a way to remove all inactive participants, and to facilitate the coordination of WikiProject Physics efforts. The list now contains more information, is easier to browse, is visually more appealing, and will be maintained up to date.
If you still are an active participant of WikiProject Physics, please add yourself to the current list of WikiProject Physics participants. Headbomb { ταλκ – WP Physics: PotW} 15:56, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on GNewSense, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{
hangon}}
on the top of
GNewSense and leave a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any
citations from independent
reliable sources to ensure that the article will be
verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

At Bilinear map you contributed
(In mathematics, a bilinear map is a function (mathematics) which is linear in both of its arguments. An example of such a map is multiplication of integers.)
Do you mean ZxZ->Z as a function in two variables of the ring Z, is bilinear?
Why does the definition which immediately follows this specify that bilinear functions are functions on products of vector spaces, as opposed to modules over commutative rings? Yes, I see the sentence some part of the page down which generalizes to this, but isn't there something wrong with [title/example] \\ [definition which is not sufficiently general for the example in the title]. ?
